   The accounting records are maintained in accordance with accounting
   principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
   The preparation of the Company's financial statements in accordance with
   GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported
   consolidated statements of income and retained earnings, comprehensive
   income, and the consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.
   Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements
   for reporting on Form 10-Q.  The July 31, 2002 balance sheet was derived
   from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures
   required by GAAP.  The interim financial statements and notes thereto
   should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
   included in the Company's latest Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal
   year ended July 31, 2002.  In the opinion of management, the interim
   financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature
   necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods.  The
   results of operations for the current period are not necessarily indicative
   of the results for the entire fiscal year ending July 31, 2003.

2.   Income Per Share of Common Stock:

   Income per share has been computed by dividing the net income for the
   periods by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
   outstanding during the periods, adjusted for the purchase of treasury
   stock.  Shares used in computing income per share were 2,025,022 and
   2,033,280 for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2003, respectively,
   and 2,030,588 and 2,035,280 for the nine months ended April 30, 2002,
   respectively.

3. Comprehensive Income:

   SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", establishes standards for
   the reporting of comprehensive income and its components.  It requires all
   items that are required to be recognized as components of comprehensive
   income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
   prominence as other income statement information.  Comprehensive income is
   defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from
   investments by and distributions to shareholders.

4. Marketable Securities:

   The Company categorizes marketable securities as either trading, available-
   for-sale or held-to-maturity.  Trading securities are carried at fair value
   with unrealized gains and losses included in income.  Available-for-sale
   securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
   recorded as a separate component of shareholders' equity.  Held-to-maturity
   securities are carried at amortized cost.  Dividends and interest income
   are accrued as earned.

5. Financial Instruments and Credit Risk Concentrations:

   Financial instruments that are potentially subject to concentrations of
   credit risk consist principally of marketable securities, cash and cash
   equivalents and receivables.  Marketable securities and cash and cash
   equivalents are placed with high credit quality financial institutions and
   instruments to minimize risk.

   The Company derives rental income from thirty-nine tenants, of which one
   tenant accounted for 17.93% and another tenant accounted for 15.04% of
   rental income during the nine months ended April 30, 2003.  No other
   tenant accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the same
   period.

(a)  The Company, on September 11, 1996, closed a loan with a bank in the
   amount of $4,000,000.  The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien covering
   the entire leasehold interest of the Company, as tenant, in a certain ground
   lease and building in the Jamaica, New York property.  The interest rate on
   the loan was 8.50% for a period of five (5) years and six (6) months, with
   such rate to change on the first day of the sixty-seventh (67th) month of the
   term to a rate equal to the then prime rate plus .25%, fixed for the balance
   of the term.  As of April 1, 2002, the effective rate was reduced to 5.00%
   per annum.  The loan is to become due and payable on the first day of the
   month following the expiration of ten (10) years and six (6) months from the
   closing date.

(b)  The Company, on December 13, 2000, closed a loan with a bank in the
   amount of $3,500,000.  The loan is secured by a second position leasehold
   mortgage covering the entire leasehold interest of the Company as tenant in
   a certain ground lease and building in the Jamaica, New York property.
   The loan proceeds were utilized by the Company toward its costs of capital
   improvements of the premises in connection with the Company's lease of a
   significant portion of a floor in the building to the State of New York.

   The loan is structured in two phases:

      1.)  A fifteen-month construction term with interest only on the
      amount owing at a floating rate per annum equal to the prime rate.

      2.)  Upon completion of the renovations, the construction loan was
      converted to a ten (10) year second mortgage permanent loan on a
      fifteen (15) year level amortization, plus interest.  The interest
      rate on the permanent loan during the first five (5) years is fixed at
      6.98% per annum.  The interest rate during the five (5) year renewal
      term is at a fixed rate per annum equal to 2.25% above the five (5)
      year Treasury Note Rate then in effect.

   Payments are to be made, in arrears, on the first day of each and every
   month calculated (a) during the period of the construction loan,
   interest only, and (b) during the ten (10) year period of the term loan,
   at the sum of the interest rate plus amortization sufficient to fully
   liquidate the loan over a fifteen (15) year period.  As additional
   collateral security, the Company will conditionally assign to the bank
   all leases and rents on the premises, or portions thereof, whether now
   existing or hereafter consummated.  The Company has an option to prepay

                                       - 8-

   principal, in whole or in part, plus interest accrued thereon, at any
   time during the term, without premium or penalty.  Other provisions of
   the loan agreement provide certain restrictions on the incurrence of
   indebtedness and the sale or transfer of the Company's ground lease
   interest in the premises.  Both credit facilities are subject to the
   bank's existing first position mortgage loan on the premises.  On August
   2, 2001, the Company took down the balance of the loan of $1,200,000.


(c)Mortgage is held by an affiliated corporation owned by members,
   including certain directors of the Company, of the family of the late
   Joe Weinstein, former Chairman of the Board of Directors.  Interest and
   amortization of principal are paid quarterly. Effective April 1, 2000,
   the maturity date of the mortgage was extended to March 31, 2005.  The
   interest rate remained at 9% per annum.  During the extended period the
   constant quarterly payments of interest and principal increased from
   $37,263 to $38,044.  The mortgage loan is self-amortizing.

(d)On June 2, 1999, the existing first mortgage loan balance on the
   Fishkill, New York property was extended for a period of five years.
   Under the terms of the extension agreement the annual interest rate was
   reduced from 9% to 8.25% and the interest and principal payments are to
   be made in constant monthly amounts based upon a fifteen (15) year
   payout period.

(e)The mortgage loan, which was self-amortizing, matured September 30,
   2002.  The final payment was made September 1, 2002.

9.   Unbilled Receivables and Rental Income:

     Unbilled receivables represent the excess of scheduled rental income
     recognized on a straight-line basis over rental income as it becomes
     receivable according to the provisions of each lease.

     The Company had leased from an affiliate one of the stores which was
     closed in connection with its reorganization proceedings in 1982. The
     Company, by agreement with the affiliate, modified and assigned its lease
     to a third party.  The agreement with the affiliate provided for certain
     monthly payments to be made to the Company through August 30, 2002, the
     termination date of the agreement.  Rental income includes $69,629 for the
     nine months ended April 30, 2003, and $329,676 for the nine months ended
     January 31, 2002, representing rentals from the affiliated company.

     Rental income from the affiliate includes $122,871 for the quarter ended
     April 30, 2002.  There was no rental income from the affiliate for the
     quarter ended April 30, 2003 since the agreement with the affiliate
     terminated on August 30, 2002.

10.  Employees' Retirement Plan:

     The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan covering
     substantially all of its employees.  Operations were charged $64,367 and
     $202,513 as contributions to the Plan for the three and nine months ended
     April 30, 2003, respectively, and $65,653 and $196,890 as contributions to
     the plan for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2002, respectively.

11.  Cash Flow Information:

     For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash
     equivalents to consist of short-term highly liquid investments with
     maturities of three months or less, which are readily convertible into
     cash.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                            AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended April 30, 2003 Compared to the Three Months
 Ended April 30, 2002:

In the three months ended April 30, 2003, the Company reported net income of
$146,021, or $.07 per share.  In the comparable three months ended April 30,
2002, the Company reported net income of $336,639, or $.17 per share.

Revenues in the current three months decreased to $3,209,984 from $3,286,240
in the comparable 2002 three months.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to
$1,830,098 from $1,494,739 in the comparable 2002 three months primarily due
to an increase in payroll, real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and
utility costs.  The real estate taxes increased due to the rate increase by
the City of New York, and the insurance increased due to the terrorist attacks
of September 11, 2001.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to
$713,102 from $633,114 in the comparable 2002 three months due to an increase
in payroll, insurance, and legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to
$296,788 from $288,405 in the comparable 2002 three months.

Interest expense and other expenses in the current three months exceeded
investment income by $147,975 and by $149,343 in the comparable 2002 three
months. The increase was due to a loss on disposition of asset on a portion of
the Company's Fishkill, New York property offset by a reduction of the
interest rate on a mortgage on the Jamaica, New York property and by scheduled
repayments of debt.

Nine Months Ended April 30, 2003 Compared to the Nine Months
 Ended April 30, 2002:

In the nine months ended April 30, 2003, the Company reported net income of
$813,629, or $.40 per share.  In the comparable nine months ended April 30,
2002, the Company reported net income of $1,069,640, or $.53 per share.

Revenues in the current nine months increased to $9,931,870 from $9,630,917 in
the comparable 2002 nine months.

Real estate operating expenses in the current nine months increased to
$5,208,676 from $4,493,946 in the comparable 2002 nine months primarily due to
an increase in payroll, real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance and utility
costs.  The real estate taxes increased due to the rate increase by the City
of New York, and the insurance increased due to the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001.


Administrative and general expenses in the current nine months increased to
$2,274,218 from $1,967,319 in the comparable 2002 nine months due to an
increase in insurance, and legal and professional costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current nine months increased to
$886,730 from $850,015 in the comparable 2002 nine months.

Interest expense and other expenses in the current nine months exceeded
investment income by $292,626 and by $373,997 in the comparable 2002 nine
months. The increase was due to a loss on disposition of asset on a portion of
the Company's Fishkill, New York property offset by a reduction of the
interest rate on a mortgage on the Jamaica, New York property and by scheduled
repayments of debt.

The bad debt recovery in the amount of $163,009 in the nine months ended April
30, 2003 relates to a prior year's bad debt write-off of one of the retail
tenants at the Jamaica, New York property.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company has been operating as a real estate enterprise since the
discontinuance of the retail department store segment of its operations on
January 3, 1989.

Management considers current working capital and borrowing capabilities
adequate to cover the Company's planned operating and capital requirements.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $2,919,815 at April 30,
2003.

One tenant occupies the entire Circleville, Ohio property comprising a
warehouse distribution building of approximately 193,000 square feet on
approximately 11.66 acreage of land.  The lease which commenced September 24,
1992, terminated September 30, 2002.  An extension and modification of lease
(term and rental) for the entire premises has been executed for a three year
period to September 30, 2005.  The tenant has the option to surrender up to
73,350 square feet of the 193,000 square feet, on or after May 31, 2003, upon
sixty days prior written notice.

The Company has obtained a judgment at a Trial Court in the New York State
Court of Claims in the amount of $4,147,500, plus interest and legal fees,
against the State of New York in connection with a condemnation by the State
affecting a portion of the Fishkill, New York  property.  On appeal by the
State of New York to the Appellate Division of the State of New York, the
judgment was reversed and the award reduced to $24,105.  The Company had made
a motion to the Appellate Division to: (1) increase the award; and (2) for
leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals, both of which were denied, except
that the Appellate Division increased the award from $24,105 to $81,677.  The
Company motion seeking leave to appeal directly to the New York State Court of
Appeals was denied.  The Company does not intend to appeal this matter any
further.  The final award with interest amounts to $101,925 which amount is
recorded in the financial statements, before legal and professional expense.

As of July 31, 2002, one of the retail tenants at the Company's Jamaica, New
York location, under lease dated March 29, 1990, as amended, was in arrears in
the payment of fixed rent, additional rent and other operating expenses of
$163,009.  The tenant filed under Chapter 11 of United States Bankruptcy Code
on October 7, 2002.  The Company at the time had reason to believe that the
tenant did not intend to pay the $163,009 and, accordingly, elected at July
31, 2002, to write off the amount due of $163,009 as a bad debt.  The bad debt
recovery in the amount of $163,009 in the nine months ended April 30, 2003
represents payment by the tenant of the above amount.

At December 4, 2002, the date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
Quarter ended October 31, 2002, the retail tenant at the Company's Jamaica,
New York location that filed under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code on October 7, 2002, had not paid the fixed rent and the additional rent
and other operating expenses due for the period August 1, 2002 through October
6, 2002, totaling $186,766.  At the time, the Company had reason to believe
that the tenant did not intend to pay such amount and, accordingly, did not
record as income, during the three months ended October 31, 2002, the amount
of $186,766.  The tenant paid the amount of $186,766 less $100,000 credit to
vacate the premises by February 10, 2003, during the nine months ended April
30, 2003, and accordingly the Company has recorded the amount as income during
the nine month period ended April 30, 2003.  The tenant has paid the fixed
rent and additional rent and other operating expenses for the period October
7, 2002 through February 28, 2003.  The tenant vacated the premises in March,
2003.  The annual fixed rent, additional rent and other operating costs paid
by the tenant were approximately $1,000,000.  The Company is actively seeking
a tenant(s) for the vacated space.

The City of New York, a tenant in the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn,
New York, whose lease expires April 29, 2010, has elected to exercise its
option to terminate the Lease Agreement effective May 31, 2004.   The
approximate loss in annual revenue to the Company commencing June 1, 2004,
relating to the termination of the lease will approximate $2,350,000.  Upon
the termination of the lease agreement, the Company will be due $295,695 from
the City of New York representing the unamortized portion of the Company's
work cost to prepare the leased premises for occupancy.  The Company is
actively seeking, through brokers, tenants to occupy the space to be vacated
as well as the additional 95,000 square feet of available rentable space in
the building.

project is anticipated to be completed in June, 2003.

                            Controls and Procedures

We currently have in place systems relating to internal controls with respect
to our financial information.  We also have in place disclosure controls and
procedures with respect to ensuring that all material information required to
be filed in this Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended April 30,
2003, has been made known to management, and especially the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a timely fashion.  Our management
periodically reviews and evaluates these internal controls and disclosure
controls and procedures with our internal auditor and our independent auditors
and has done so within 90 days of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-
Q.  We have determined that the internal controls and the disclosure controls
and procedures were effective as of the date of their evaluation in timely
alerting them to material information (both of a financial and a non-financial
nature) relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries.

We have determined that there have been no significant changes in our internal
controls and our disclosure controls and procedures or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to our most recent
evaluation.  While we believe that our internal controls and our disclosure
controls and procedures are effective, we understand that the SEC may be
promulgating additional rules relating to disclosure controls and procedures.
We cannot provide assurance that either our internal controls or our
disclosure controls and procedures will not change in the future to reflect
new rules of the SEC.
