The financial statements, related footnotes and discussions should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, related footnotes and discussions contained in the Trust's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform with current classifications. 2.

Contingent interest in the amount of $43,862 and $440,688 was received in the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 respectively. (b) The loan is secured by a first lien on a separate collateral assignment of a first mortgage loan which, in turn, is secured by a fee position subject to a master lease on an office building in New York, New York. (c) As of June 30, 1995, the Trust had 6 loans that were in arrears (three monthly payments or more) or otherwise considered to be "problem loans" by the Trust. The aggregate gross principal amounts of these loans, together with receivables relating to such loans comprised of accrued interest and payments made on behalf of the borrowers for mortgage payments relating to such properties, totaled approximately $44,467,648, representing 24.3% of the Trust's total assets, at June 30, 1995. At June 30, 1995 and 1994, the Trust was not accruing current and accrued interest on two and four of the above-mentioned loans, in the aggregate approximate principal amount of $5,700,000 and $10,250,000, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 1995 and 1994 respectively, the Trust was not accruing deferred interest on two additional loans, in the aggregate approximate principal amount of $28,000,000 and 32,000,000. (d) On February 14, 1995, the holder of the first mortgage loan secured by the Madison Heights Shopping Center, whose loan was superior to the Trust's wraparound mortgage loan with respect to such property, foreclosed upon such property. The shopping center has been sold at auction and the interest of the Trust has thereby been eliminated. (e) On March 1, 1995, the Trust received proceeds of $3,021,000 from the prepayment of the Coral Way Shopping Center mortgage loan. The proceeds consisted of the repayment of the principal loan balance of $3,000,000 and current interest of $21,000. 4. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE The following table summarizes the Trust's equity investments in real properties, and the carrying amount, net of accumulated depreciation of such properties, as of June 30, 1995: Property Location Carrying Value - -------- -------- -------------- Sunshine Plaza Tamarac, FL $ 9,087,459 Shopping Center Crofton Shopping Center Crofton, MD 9,946,421 Trinity Corners Pound Ridge, NY 2,894,536 Shopping Center Commack Property Commack, NY 2,789,437 Retail Center Chester Shopping Center Chester, NJ 18,512,836 -8- 9 RPS REALTY TRUST FORM 10-Q JUNE 30, 1995 Lantana Plaza Lantana, FL 5,463,670 Shopping Center 9 North Wabash Chicago,IL 3,250,787 Retail Building Norgate Shopping Center Indianapolis, IN 4,470,000 ----------- Total $56,415,146 =========== 5. SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS Short-term investments at June 30, 1995 consist of approximately $39,927,000 of Fannie Mae Remics and approximately $32,272,000 of U.S. Treasuries. 6. DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS Under the Internal Revenue Code, a REIT must meet certain qualifications including a requirement that it distribute annually to its shareholders at least 95% of its taxable income. The Trust's policy is to distribute to shareholders all taxable income. Dividends declared for the six months ended June 30, 1995 are summarized below: RECORD DATE DIVIDEND PAYMENT DATE -------------- -------- --------------- April 27, 1995 $ .08 May 17, 1995 July 28, 1995 $ .08 August 17, 1995 The difference, if any, between dividends and net income result from timing differences related to the recognition of income and expense between financial reporting and income tax purposes. During 1995, the Trust will have tax write-offs on certain of the mortgages which write-offs were previously recognized for financial reporting purposes in prior years. 7. RAMCO TRANSACTION On April 10, 1995, the Trust and Ramco-Gershenson, Inc. ("Ramco") and its affiliates (the "Ramco Group") entered into an agreement relating to the acquisition through an operating partnership (the "Operating Partnership") controlled by the Trust of substantially all of the real estate assets as well as the business operations of Ramco (the "Transaction"). As part of the Transaction, the Trust will succeed to the ownership of interests in 22 shopping center and retail properties (the "Ramco Properties"), as well as 100% of the non-voting stock and 5% of the voting stock of Ramco (representing in excess of 95% of the economic interests of Ramco). The Trust will contribute to the Operating Partnership six retail properties (the "RPS Properties") and $75,000,000 in cash (less expenses paid by the Trust in connection with the Transaction). Following the closing of the Transaction, Ramco will manage the Ramco Properties, the RPS Properties and properties of certain third parties and other Ramco affiliates. -9- 10 RPS REALTY TRUST FORM 10-Q JUNE 30, 1995 Upon consummation of the Transaction, the Trust will be the sole general partner of and a limited partner in the Operating Partnership and initially will hold approximately 74.8% of the interests therein. The members of the Ramco Group will be limited partners in the Operating Partnership and will initially hold, in the aggregate, approximately 25.2% of the interests therein. The exact number of units of limited partnership ("OP Units") to be received by the Trust and members of the Ramco Group will be determined based upon the relative agreed upon values of the assets to be contributed by the parties. The Ramco Group can also increase its interest in the Operating Partnership based on the future performance of certain of the Ramco Properties; such performance incentives could increase the Ramco Group's interest in the Operating Partnership to approximately 31.5% in the aggregate. The Ramco Group's OP Units will be exchangeable for shares of the Trust commencing one year after consummation of the Transaction, subject to purchase of such OP Units for cash by the Trust, at the Trust's option. As part of the Transaction, it is anticipated that (i) the Trust's state of organization will be changed from Massachusetts to Maryland and the Trust will change its name to Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust and (ii) the Trust will implement a four-for-one reverse stock split. Upon consummation of the Transaction, it is contemplated that four of the nine current members of the Board of Trustees will resign and will be replaced by four individuals designated by the Ramco Group, two of whom will be independent of the Trust, Ramco and their respective affiliates. In addition, the five current principal executive officers of Ramco will become executive officers of the Trust and will be responsible for the management of the Trust's real estate operations. In connection with the Transaction, and as a condition thereto, the Trust will transfer its remaining mortgage loan portfolio, as well as certain other assets, to a newly-formed Maryland real estate investment trust, and thereafter will distribute the shares after taking into account the reverse stock split referred to above, of the new REIT to the Trust's shareholders. The transaction with Ramco which is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1995, is subject to a number of conditions. These include the Trust receiving favorable resolution of certain issues relating to its tax status as a real estate investment trust, shareholder approval, receipt of a fairness opinion from the Trust's financial advisor and refinancing of certain Ramco property debt. Accordingly there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated. 8. TRANSACTION ADVANCES In connection with the transaction with Ramco, on April 13, 1995, the Trust advanced the sum of $2,340,000 to the members of the Ramco Group (the "Ramco Advance") to be used for the sole purpose of paying application fees, commitment fees and other fees and charges in connection with a refinancing loan to be obtained in connection with the Transaction. The Ramco Advance is evidenced by a promissory note (the "Ramco Note") which accrues interest at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate of the Bank of Boston, and matures on April 13, 1996; the Ramco Note is secured by the pledge of certain partnership and stock interests owned by the members of the Ramco Group who are the obligors under the Ramco Note. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Ramco Advance will be converted into a Transaction expense of the Trust, and the Ramco Note will be canceled. In such event, the $75,000,000 to be contributed by the Trust to the Operating Partnership will be reduced by the amount of the Ramco Advance. -10- 11 RPS REALTY TRUST FORM 10-Q JUNE 30, 1995 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY As of December 31, 1994 the Trust had $41,891,769 invested in mortgage loans (after deducting allowance for possible loan losses of $11,657,236), $56,109,381 invested in real properties and $73,781,582 in short-term investments. During the first quarter of 1995 the Trust received proceeds of $3,021,000 from the prepayment of the Coral Way Shopping Center loan. Additionally during the first quarter the Trust added $3,000,000 to its allowance for possible loan losses bringing the allowance to $12,781,336. During future periods additional provisions for loan losses may be required, as loans are either sold or prepaid or otherwise re-valued. As of June 30, 1995 the Trust had $36,217,669 invested in mortgage loans (after deducting allowance for possible loan losses of $12,781,336), $56,415,146 invested in real properties and $72,199,105 in short-term investments. It is anticipated that the Trust will have to borrow approximately $6,500,000 to fund severance payments and certain expenses if the Ramco transaction closes without additional prepayments or sales. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to six months ended June 30, 1994. Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995 (before rental income) decreased $1,474,179 or 28% as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994. Interest from short-term investments increased $1,007,263 as a result of the Trust having higher balances in short-term investments during the six month period of 1995. Interest from mortgage loans decreased in the six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994 by $2,530,615 or 58%. The reduction in interest from mortgage loans is attributable to the reduction in the size of the Trust's mortgage loan portfolio from 16 loans as of June 30, 1994 to 11 loans as of June 30, 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1995 expenses (excluding property operating, real estate taxes, interest on mortgages and depreciation expenses) increased $3,093,020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994. This increase was primarily due to additional provision for possible loan losses in the first quarter of $3,000,000 based on an offer for the sale of the Hylan mortgage loan. During the six months of 1995, the Trust recognized rental income of $4,442,352 as compared to $2,281,067 for the six months of 1994. This increase of $2,161,285 or 95% is primarily as a result of the Trust receiving rental income on 8 properties during the 1995 period compared to 6 during the 1994 period. Interest expense on mortgages payable in 1995 decreased 100% or $220,604 due to the Trust exercising its right to prepay the first mortgage loan relating to the Crofton Plaza Shopping Center property on September 30, 1994. Property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation expense increased during the 1995 period by $307,400 or 56%, $315,027 or 91% and $200,456 or 66% respectively over the 1994 period due to the aforementioned increase in number of properties. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Trust recognized net income from the investment of real estate of $2,424,370 as compared to $865,364 for the six months of 1994. -11- 12 RPS REALTY TRUST FORM 10-Q JUNE 30, 1995 As a result of the foregoing factors (primarily the increase in provision for loan losses), the Trust net income for the six months of 1995 as compared to the six months of 1994 decreased $3,008,193 or 71%. Three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to three months ended June 30, 1994. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1995 (before rental income) decreased $528,768 or 22%. Interest from mortgage loans received by the Trust during the second quarter of 1995 decreased $991,783 or 52%. The reduction in interest from mortgage loans is attributable to the reduction in the size of the Trust's mortgage loan portfolio, from 16 loans as of June 30, 1994 to 11 loans as of June 30, 1995. Short-term interest income increased $463,015 or 82% as a result of higher cash balances. During the quarter ended June 30, 1995 expenses (excluding property operating, real estate taxes, interest on mortgages and depreciation expenses) increased $107,575 or 12% as compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 1994. This increase was primarily due to the increase of $69,545 in General and Administrative expenses as a result of higher insurance costs and moving expenses. During the second quarter of 1995, the Trust received rental income of $2,151,323 as compared to $1,140,567 for the second quarter of 1994. This increase of $1,010,756 or 89% is primarily as a result of the Trust owning 8 retail properties during the 1995 period compared to 6 during the 1994 period. Interest expense on mortgages payable in 1995 decreased $109,790 or 100% due to the Trust exercising its right to prepay the first mortgage loan relating to the Crofton Plaza Shopping Center property on September 30, 1994. Property operating expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation expense increased during the 1995 period by $229,556, 156,598 and 103,038 respectively over the 1994 period due to the aforementioned increase in the number of properties. For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Trust recognized net income from the investment of real estate of $1,064,532 as compared to $433,178 in the 1994 quarter. Net income for the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994 decreased $4,989 as a result of the items discussed above. -12- 13 RPS REALY TRUST FORM 10-Q JUNE 30, 1995 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
