                      NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all adjustments,
     which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation of
     the Trust's financial position, including changes therein, and results of
     operations for the interim period reported upon. Such statements have been
     prepared from the Trust's accounting records in accordance with the
     instructions to Form 10-Q.

Plan of Liquidation

     On February 4, 1998, the Trust's shareholders approved a Plan of
     Dissolution. As a result, the Trust's financial statements as of December
     31, 1997 and thereafter have been prepared on a liquidation basis.
     Accordingly, assets have been valued at estimated net realizable value and
     liabilities include estimated costs associated with carrying out the plan
     of liquidation.

Income Taxes

     The Trust qualifies as a real estate investment trust under the Internal
     Revenue Code.

Wanlass Shopping Center

     In 1998, the Trust purchased the fee title to the land at the Wanlass
     Shopping Center. The purchase was required under the terms of the then
     existing ground lease between the Trust and the ground lessor. The Trust
     will dispose of the property when the redevelopment is complete. This is
     expected to occur during 1999.

Related Party Transactions

     Fees paid or payable to Menlo Management Company for three months ended
     March 31, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OF
OPERATIONS.

     (1) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Cash flow used by operating activities was $77,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $195,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The net change is primarily due to
the change in expense levels resulting from the sale of Kings Court Shopping
Center in 1998.

Cash flow used by investing activities was $20,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 compared to $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
The net change was primarily the result of a decrease in construction costs at
the Wanlass property.

Cash flow used by financing activities was zero for the three months ended March
31, 1999 as compared to $129,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
decrease is primarily due to the re-payment of the Kings Court mortgage debt and
distribution to joint venture partners in 1998.

     (2) MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
     31, 1999 VS. 1998:

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $121,000 as compared to a
net loss of $64,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, an increased loss
of $58,000.

During the first three months rental revenues decreased from $406,000 in 1998 to
$46,000 in 1999, a decrease of $360,000 or 89%. This decrease resulted from the
sale of Kings Court Shopping Center in August 1998

Operating expenses decreased from $187,000 in 1998 to $15,000 in 1999, a
decrease of $172,000 or 92%. Property taxes decreased from $23,000 in 1998 to
$5,000 in 1999, a decrease of $18,000, or 78%. Property management fees
decreased from $15,000 in 1998 to $2,000 in 1999, a decrease of $13,000, or 87%.
Each of these decreases resulted primarily from the sale of Kings Court Shopping
Center in August 1998.

General and administrative expense increased from $95,000 in 1998 to $118,000 in
1999, an increase of $23,000 or 24%. The increase in 1999 is the result of
insurance expense related to the liquidation.

Interest income increased by $15,000, or 65%, from $23,000 in 1998 to $38,000 in
1999, as a result of cash received from the sale of Kings Court Shopping Center
in August 1998.

Interest expense decreased by $32,000, or 100%, from $32,000 in 1998 to zero in
1999, due to the re-payment of the Kings Court mortgage debt in 1998.

    ITEM 6 (B) - Report on Form 8K - None for the three months ended March 31,
1999.
