ITEM 7:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

It should be noted that this 10-Q contains forward-looking information (as
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involves
risk and uncertainty, including trends in the real estate investment market,
projected leasing and sales, and the future prospects for the Registrant. Actual

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash on hand as of June 30, 1997 is $419,360, a decrease of $221,767 from the
year end December 31, 1996. During the first six months of 1997 the operations
of the properties provided cash flow of $334,778. The Trust paid a dividend of
$.22 per share in each of the first two quarters and reduced the mortgage debt
by $43,746. The Trust paid capital expenditures at the properties of $131,484
during the first six months of 1997. The Trust paid approximately $111,000 in
legal fees during the second quarter in connection with a lawsuit filed by a
shareholder, on preparation of materials for a Special Board of Directors
meeting, and on legal review of proxy materials. Refer to Item 1 of Part II.
Other Information on page 11 of this report for additional information on this
lawsuit. Based on the current cash position and the properties' ability to
provide operating cash flow, the Trust expects the properties to fund capital
expenditures for the remainder of 1997. The anticipated capital expenditures by
property are as follows:

                                   Leasing Capital  Other Capital      Total
                                   ---------------  -------------  -------------

                                   ---------------  -------------  -------------
                                           $69,500        $32,400       $101,900
                                   ===============  =============  =============

The leasing capital at Atrium at Alpha includes funds for tenant alterations and
lease commissions for new and renewal tenants. Other Capital at Atrium at Alpha
will be expended for restroom fixtures and faucets and heating, ventilation and
air conditioning control boards. At Franklin Park Distribution Center, a capital
contingency reserve has been established.


Results of Property Operations

The results of operations for the Trust's properties for the quarters ended June
30, 1997 and 1996 are detailed in the schedule below. Expenses of the Trust are
excluded.


Funds from Operations

The white paper on Funds from Operations approved by the board of governors of
NAREIT in March 1995 defines funds from operations as net income (loss)
(computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and
amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint
ventures. The Trust computes Funds from Operations in accordance with the
standards established by the white paper which may differ from the methodology
for calculating Funds from Operations utilized by other equity REITs, and,
accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Funds from Operations do
not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of
needed capital

                                       -7-
<PAGE>

replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, distributions, or other
commitments and uncertainties. Funds from Operations should not be considered as
an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an
indication of the Trust financial performance or to cash flows from operating
activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Trust
liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Trust cash needs
including its ability to make distributions. The Trust believes Funds from
Operations are helpful to investors as measures of the performance of the Trust
because along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities
and investing activities, they provide investors with an understanding of the
ability of the Trust to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures.

Net income at Atrium at Alpha for the quarters ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is
$21,870 and $32,380, respectively. Revenues increased $21,034 from increases in
rental income due to higher base rental rates and escalation income. Expenses
increased approximately $31,000 due to increases in electric, administrative
costs, repairs and maintenance - building, real estate taxes and amortization.
Revenue at Franklin Park Distribution Center were relatively stable when
comparing the two quarters. Expenses increased $12,041 due to an adjustment made
for incorrect postings in the prior year. A combination of expenses increasing
and revenues decreasing resulted in net income decreasing $16,581 when comparing
the two quarters. The slight decrease in net income can be attributable to a
decrease in revenue because common area maintenance reimbursements were lower
due to lower expenses. At the Applied Communications Building, revenues and
expenses increased during the quarter ended June 30, 1997 when compared to the
quarter ended June 30, 1996. The increase in revenue is due to an increase in
escalation income as well as an increase in the base rental income offset by a
decrease in electric income. Operating expenses increased slightly when
comparing the two quarters due to an increase in repairs and maintenance-
building, offset by a decrease in parking lot expenses and
supplies-building/cleaning.

Occupancy levels at the Trust's properties during the second quarter remain at a
high level. This can be attributable to the Trust's ability to renew the
properties major tenants as their leases mature. The occupancy levels at June
30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

The leasing activity at Atrium at Alpha during the second quarter resulted in a
decrease in occupancy by 2% to 93% as of June 30, 1997. During the quarter,
three tenants signed new leases to occupy 11,836 square feet. Existing tenants
renewed leases for 3,219 square feet and one tenant vacated 14,200 square feet.
The building has two major tenants who lease approximately 11% and 20% of the
available space with leases expiring in 1999 and 2001, respectively.

Franklin Park Distribution Center currently is fully leased by two tenants. The
larger of the two tenants occupies approximately 57% of the building while the
other occupies approximately 43% of the building. These leases expire in
December 1999 and June 1998, respectively.

The Applied Communications Building has a single tenant who occupies the entire
building. The tenant's lease expires August 1999.


1997 Comparisons

As of June 30, 1997, the Trust's consolidated revenues for the quarter ended and
six month period ended are $749,621 and $1,493,782, respectively, an increase of
$32,382 and $50,069 when compared to the results of the same periods ended June
30, 1996. The increase in revenues for the three and six month periods ended can
be attributable to increases in base rental income $16,790 and $36,355 and
escalation income $28,874 and $32,135 when compared to the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996. The increase in incomes is attributable to the Atrium at
Alpha Business Center and the Applied Communications Building.

Consolidated expenses are $854,318 and $1,554,747 for the quarter ended and the
six month period ended June 30, 1997, respectively. For the same periods ended
June 30, 1996, consolidated expenses were $687,735 and $1,389,930. Consolidated
expenses increased $166,583 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 when
compared to June 30, 1996. Consolidated expenses increase $164,817 when
comparing the six months ended June 30, 1997, to the six month period ended June
30, 1996. The increase in consolidated expenses for the three month period ended
June 30, 1997 can be attributable to increases in professional services
($114,896), repairs and maintenance ($21,699), depreciation and amortization
($8,476) and payroll ($6,093). The increase in expenses for the six month period
ending June 30, 1997 can be attributable to increases in professional services
($133,728), other operating expenses ($24,646), repairs and maintenance
($15,506) and payroll ($10,087), partially offset by decreases in real estate
taxes ($10,653) and interest ($3,512). The most significant increase is in
professional services which is due to the legal fees incurred in connection with
the lawsuit filed against the Trust by one of its shareholders. Legal fees were
incurred for preparation and advice to the board of directors in connection with
a special meeting held during the second quarter, appearance in court and
preparation of court materials in defense of the suite, and review of proxy
materials prior to mailing to shareholders. A more complete description of the
lawsuit can be found by referring to Item 1 of Part II. Other Information on
page 11 of this report. The legal fees incurred in connection with this lawsuit
were approximately $111,000 or $.13 per share for the three month period ended
June 30, 1997.

1996 Comparisons

As of June 30, 1996, the Trust's consolidated revenues for the quarter ended and
six month period ended are $717,239 and $1,443,713, respectively, an increase of
$4,330 and $32,968 when compared to the results of the same periods ended June
30, 1995. The increase in revenues for the six month periods ended can be
attributed to increases in rental income offset by decreases in expense recovery
income. Rental income increased $42,816 while expense recovery income decreased
$11,741 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1995. The increase in rental income relates to increases at
Atrium at Alpha ($28,818) and Applied Communications Building ($13,998). The
increase at Atrium at Alpha is a direct result of an increase in occupancy when
comparing average occupancy during the first and second quarters of 1996 to the
average occupancy during the same periods in 1995. The increase at Applied
Communications Building is attributable to rent step-ups for the single tenant
user. The decrease in escalation income relates to a decrease in expenses that
may be passed through to the tenant, resulting in a reduction in expense
recovery income.

Consolidated expenses are $687,736 and $1,389,931 for the quarter ended and six
month period ended June 30, 1996, respectively. For the same periods ended June
30, 1995 consolidated expense were $678,048 and $1,339,127, respectively.
Consolidated expenses increased $9,688 and $50,804 when comparing the three and
six month periods ended June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1995. The increase in
consolidated expenses for the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
relate to increases in real estate taxes ($34,483) and other operating expenses
($19,539). The increase in real estate taxes can be attributed to an increase in
the property assessment and tax rates at Atrium at Alpha. Operating expenses
increased $19,539 or 4.83%. The increase relates to several expense categories
and they are as follows: parking lot expenditures ($13,224) due to timing of
various landscaping projects at Atrium at Alpha, cleaning ($7,280) due to
increases in occupancy at Atrium at Alpha, snow removal ($4,020), and
administrative costs ($4,002). These increases are partially offset by a
decrease in professional services ($9,147) relating to legal services rendered
in prior year pertaining to a single legal matter.


Inflation

The effects of inflation did not have a material impact upon the Trust's
operations.

Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, against the Trust. The lawsuit
sought, among other things, (i) a Declaratory Judgement to the effect that all

vote, or to be considered in determining the presence of a quorum, on any matter
on which shares of the Trust are otherwise permitted to vote, and (ii) an
Injunction in joining the Trust from, among other things, soliciting or voting
any proxies in connection with any special or annual meeting of the shareholders
and conducting any special or annual meeting of shareholders of the Trust.
Kelcor also filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent the
Trust from the soliciting proxies in connection with any Special or Annual
Meeting of Shareholders and to prevent the Trust from conducting any Special
Meeting or Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

August 8, 1997 only to consider and vote upon the Bylaw Amendment. Refer to
proxy statement filed July 9, 1997 for complete description of the Bylaw
Amendment.
