Income per share of beneficial interest has been computed in accordance with
SFAS 128 (Earnings Per Share). SFAS 128 requires that common share equivalents
be excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of
basic earnings per share. Adjusted shares and per share amounts for 1997 have
been restated accordingly.

In May 1998, the registrant sold its investment in the land beneath the
Huntington Building in Cleveland, Ohio for $6.0 million resulting in a capital
gain of $1.7 million. Additionally, an $18.9 million mortgage investment secured
by the Huntington Building was repaid in 1998 resulting in the recognition of a
$7.7 million capital gain which was deferred when the building was sold in 1982
since the registrant received the mortgage note as consideration. In June 1998,
the registrant sold a forward exchange agreement resulting in a loss of $.8
million. The forward exchange contract was purchased to protect the registrant
from foreign currency fluctuations resulting from notes issued in conjunction
with the acquisition of Impark.
