                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Accounting Records and Use of Estimates:

   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 balance sheets, consolidated statements of income and retained
   earnings and consolidated statements of comprehensive income 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, 2001 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 year ended
   July 31, 2001.  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 year ending July 31, 2002.

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 2,033,280 and
   2,086,378 for the three months ended October 31, 2001, and October 31,
   2000, 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

</TABLE>

(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 is 8 1/2% 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 1/4%, fixed for the balance
   of the term.  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.
      During this period, the Company had the option to secure advances
      against the loan amount.

      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, at the option of
      the Company.  The interest rate on the permanent loan during the first
      five (5) years is at a fixed rate per annum equal to 2.25% above the
      five (5) year Treasury Note Rate in effect at the time of conversion
      to a permanent loan.  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,

                                   -8-
<PAGE>
   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
   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.  As of
   July 31, 2001, the Company had secured advances of $2,300,000 against
   the principal amount of the loan.  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 which was scheduled to be on March 31,
   2000 was extended to March 31, 2005.  The interest rate remained at 9%.
   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 property was extended for a period of five years.  The annual
   interest rate was reduced from 9% to 8 1/4% 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 is self-amortizing, matures September 30, 2002.
   The loan is payable at an annual interest rate of 7%.  Under the terms
   of the loan, constant monthly payments, including interest and
   principal, are currently in the amount of $36,540.

12.  Contingencies:

     There are various lawsuits and claims pending against the Company.  It is
     the opinion of management that the resolution of these matters will not
     have a material adverse effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial
     Statements.

     Jamesway Corporation ("Jamesway"), which occupied retail space in the
     Fishkill, New York property and whose lease extended to January 31, 2005,
     filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on October 18,
     1995.  Jamesway rejected its lease for the Fishkill location with the
     approval of the Bankruptcy Court, effective February 29, 1996.  The
     Company has realized from Jamesway $513,343, or 54% on account of its
     unsecured claim, and 100% of its allowed administrative claim of $54,887,
     for a total of $568,230.  The recovery of $47,532 in the year ended July
     31, 2001 represents the final recovery from Jamesway.

$387,572, or $.19 per share.  In the comparable three months ended October 31,
2000, the Company reported net income of $313,475, or $.15 per share.

Revenues in the current three months increased to $3,166,187 from $2,736,892
in the comparable 2000 three months.  The increase is primarily due to the
leasing of 42,250 square feet to a tenant at the Company's Jamaica, New York
property.  The lease commenced May 1, 2001.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to
$1,475,091 from $1,405,989 in the comparable 2000 three months primarily due
to an increase in real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs,
partially offset by a decrease in the cost of licenses and permits.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to
$601,924 from $545,816 in the comparable 2000 three months due to an increase
in payroll, medical, and legal and professional costs.

The bad debt recovery in the amount $47,532 in the three months ended October
31, 2000 relates to prior years' bad debt write-off from Jamesway.  See Note
12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  There was no comparable item in
the 2001 three month period.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to
$280,305 from $261,277 in the comparable 2000 three months, primarily due to
depreciation on the additional improvements to the Jamaica, New York property.

Interest expense in the current three months exceeded investment income by
$105,295 and by $83,867 in the comparable 2000 three months. The increase was
due to interest expense on the additional mortgage on the Jamaica New York
property, offset by scheduled repayments of debt.


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 $3,206,422 at October 31,
2001.

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 initial term of the lease terminates

                                   -12-

September 30, 2002.  The lease provides the tenant with three five-year
options to extend the lease.  The first five-year option was to have been
exercised on or before September 30, 2001.  The tenant did not exercise the
option, indicating that it was not certain whether it could make use of the
entire building.  Negotiations are in progress to determine if the tenant
wants to continue to use some of the premises.  The tenant's current annual
rent to September 30, 2002 is $466,162.  The tenant also pays real estate
taxes of approximately $45,000 annually plus the cost of utilities.  The space
not requested for lease by the present tenant will be made available for lease
to others.

The Company secured financing from a bank in the principal amount of
$3,500,000 (see Note 6(b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  As of
July 31, 2001, the Company secured advances of $2,300,000 against the
principal amount of the loan.  On August 2, 2001, the Company took down the
balance of the loan of $1,200,000 and immediately converted the loan in the
principal amount of $3,500,000 to a ten (10) year second mortgage permanent
loan at an interest rate during the first five (5) years at a fixed rate per
annum of 6.98% (2.25% above the five (5) year Treasury Note rate of 4.73%)

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, against the State
of New York in connection with a condemnation by the State affecting the
Fishkill, New York  property.  The State is also required to pay the Company's
legal fees.  The State immediately appealed the judgment and the Company has
been informed that the State will appeal the motion granting legal fees.  This
award will not be reflected in the Company's financial statement unless, and
until, the judgment is reviewed and affirmed or otherwise modified on appeal
by the applicable appellate court(s).
