                  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 statements of income and retained earnings, comprehensive
   income, and the consolidated balance sheets and related disclosures.
   Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The rent expense paid to
   a related party is considered a significant estimate and may vary
   materially from the amount recorded in the financial statements.

   The interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements
   for reporting on Form 10-Q.  The July 31, 2007 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, 2007.  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, 2008.

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 2,015,780 for the
   six months ended January 31, 2008 and January 31, 2007.

3. Comprehensive Income:

   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (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.

</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.  In
    March 2007, the Company extended the loan for five years with an option for
    an additional five year period.  The interest rate for the initial five
    years is 6.00% per annum.  Interest and amortization of principal will be
    made in constant monthly amounts based on a fifteen year (15) payout
    period.  The outstanding balance of the loan totaling $1,036,602 will
    become due and payable on April 1, 2012.

(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 outstanding balance of the loan, totaling $2,739,452, became due and
    payable on October 1, 2006.  The Company exercised its option to extend the
    loan for a additional five (5) years to October 1, 2011.  The interest rate
    for the extended period is 6.81% per annum.  At the end of the five year
    period there will be a balance due on the loan of $2,077,680.

    As additional collateral security, the Company conditionally assigned 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 on the Jamaica property and the sale or
    transfer of the Company's ground lease interest in the premises.

(c) The Company, on May 7, 2004, closed a loan with 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, in the amount of $1,350,000.  The term of the loan is for a
    period of five (5) years at an interest rate of 9.00% per annum.  Interest
    and amortization of principal are paid quarterly based on a fifteen (15)
    year level amortization period.  The constant quarterly payments of
    interest and principal are $40,316.  The outstanding balance of the loan,
    totaling $1,056,007, will become due and payable on April 1, 2009.
    Interest paid for the six months ended January 31, 2008 and January 31,
    2007 was $51,762 and $54,221, respectively.

(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 were made in
    constant monthly amounts based upon a fifteen (15) year payout period.  On
    August 19, 2004 the Company extended the loan for an additional forty-two
    (42) months, with an option to convert the loan to a seven (7) year
    permanent mortgage loan.  (See Note 6(e) below).  The Company in February
    2008 converted the loan to a seven (7) year permanent mortgage loan.  The
    interest rate on conversion was 6.98%.

                                    - 8 -

(e) The Company, on August 19, 2004, closed a loan with a bank for a
    $12,000,000 multiple draw term loan.  This loan finances seventy-five (75%)
    percent of the cost of capital improvements for an existing lease to a
    tenant and capital improvements for future tenant leases at the Company's
    Brooklyn, New York (Bond Street building) and Fishkill, New York
    properties.  The loan will also finance $850,000 towards the construction
    of two new elevators at the Company's Brooklyn, New York property (Bond
    Street building).  The loan also refinanced the existing mortgage on the
    Company's Fishkill, New York property which matured on July 1, 2004 (see
    Note 6(d)).  The Company will have three and one-half years to draw down
    amounts under this loan.  The loan consists of:  a) a permanent, first
    mortgage loan to refinance an existing first mortgage loan affecting the
    Fishkill Property (the "First Permanent Loan") (see Note 6(d)), b) a
    permanent subordinate mortgage loan in the amount $1,870,000 (the "Second
    Permanent Loan"), and c) multiple, successively subordinate loans in the
    amount $8,295,274 ("Subordinate Building Loans").  The loan is structured
    in two phases:  1) a forty-two (42) month loan with payments of interest
    only at the floating one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.25% per annum, but not
    less than 3.40%; and 2) after the forty-two month period, the loan would
    convert to a seven-year (7) permanent mortgage loan on a seventeen (17)
    year level amortization, plus interest, at the option of the Company.  The
    interest rate on the permanent loan would be at a fixed rate equal to the
    Federal Home Loan Bank of New York's seven-year (7) fixed interest rate
    plus 2.25% per annum at the time of conversion.  As of August 19, 2004, the
    Company refinanced the existing mortgage on the Company's Fishkill, New
    York property, which balance was $1,834,726 and took down an additional
    $2,820,000 for capital improvements for two tenants at the Company's Bond
    Street building in Brooklyn, New York.  In fiscal 2006, 2007 and 2008, the
    Company drew down additional amounts totaling $916,670, on its multiple
    draw term loan to finance tenant improvements and brokerage commissions for
    the leasing of 13,026 square feet for office use at the Company's Bond
    Street building in Brooklyn, New York.  The total amount financed was
    $916,670.  The outstanding balance of the multiple draw term loan as of
    January 31, 2008 was $5,571,396 which were for both the Bond Street and
    Fishkill properties.  The interest rate at January 31, 2008 was 7.12% per
    annum.  The Company in February 2008 converted the loan to a seven (7) year
    permanent mortgage loan.  The interest rate on conversion was 6.98%.  Since
    the loan has been converted to a permanent mortgage loan, the balance of
    the financing on this loan is for the new elevators at the Company's Bond
    Street building in Brooklyn, New York in the amount of $850,000.

(f) On February 18, 2005, the Company secured financing in the amount of
    $1,700,000, from a bank whose president is a director of the Company.  The
    loan is a multiple draw loan, for a period of five (5) years, and is self-
    amortizing, at an interest rate of 6.50% per annum.

(g) The Company, on July 22, 2005, closed a loan with a bank for
    $1,200,000.  The loan will be used to finance the construction costs and
    brokerage commissions associated with the leasing of 15,000 square feet for
    office use to a tenant at the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New
    York.  The loan will be secured by the assignment of lease of 15,000 square
    feet.  The loan is for a period of five (5) years and is self-amortizing,
    at a floating interest rate of prime plus 1.00% per annum.  The interest
    rate at January 31, 2008 was 7.00% per annum.

     additional three (3) years maturing on December 15, 2010, at an interest
     rate of 7.50% per annum.

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.

10.  Employees' Retirement Plan:

     The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan covering
     substantially all of its employees.  Operations were charged $85,170 and
     $160,875 as contributions to the Plan for the three and six months ended
     January 31, 2008, respectively, and $69,111 and $137,895 as contributions
     to the Plan for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007,

12.  Capitalization:

     The Company is capitalized entirely through common stock with identical
     voting rights and rights to liquidation.  Treasury stock is recorded at
     cost and consists of 162,517 shares at January 31, 2008 and at July 31,
     2007.

13.  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.

     In response to a termination notice that the Company received concerning
     its tenancy in a portion of the Jowein building, Brooklyn, New York, on
     April 25, 2007, the Company filed a lawsuit against its landlords in New
     York State Supreme Court, Kings County.  In the lawsuit, the Company seeks
     a judgment declaring that the landlords' termination notice was improperly
     issued and that the Company is not required to correct or cure the
     purported defaults cited in the termination notice.  In addition, the
     Company seeks an order temporarily, preliminarily and permanently
     enjoining the landlords from taking any action to terminate the lease or
     otherwise interfere with the Company's possession of the premises.

     On May 16, 2007, the New York State Supreme Court granted the Company's
     motion for preliminary injunctive relief and enjoined the landlords,
     during the pendency of this action, from taking any action to evict the
     Company, terminate the Company's lease which is scheduled to expire on
     April 30, 2010, and/or commencing summary action adverse to the Company's
     rights or otherwise disturb the Company's possession of the premises.  The
     landlords have answered the complaint denying the allegations and
     asserting counterclaims against the Company relating to the premises.
     Discovery is ongoing.  Management of the Company is unable to predict the
     outcome of this matter or whether the Company will be required to expend
     significant amounts of money in order to correct any of the purported
     defaults.

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

Results of Operations:

Three months Ended January 31, 2008 Compared to the Three months Ended January
31, 2007:

In the three months ended January 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of
($244,680), or ($.12) per share.  In the comparable three months ended January
31, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of ($8,764), or ($.00) per share.

Revenues in the current three months increased to $3,735,444 from $3,390,563
in the comparable 2007 three months.  The increase in revenues was due to the
Company's leasing to five additional tenants at the Company's Brooklyn,
Jamaica and Levittown, New York properties, offset by the vacating of a tenant
at the Company's Brooklyn, New York property in July 2007.

The recovery of real estate taxes in the current three months in the amount of
$91,043, net of legal expenses, represents prior years' real estate taxes from
one of the Company's properties.  The comparable 2007 three months did not
have a recovery of real estate taxes.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to
$2,393,221 from $2,094,811 in the comparable 2007 three months primarily due
to increases in rental expense, utility costs, maintenance costs and lease
commission expense, partially offset by decreases in real estate taxes.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to
$1,070,534 from $696,128 in the comparable 2007 three months primarily due to
increases in payroll costs, insurance costs, legal and professional costs,
pension costs, and a bad debt expense due to a tenant vacating the premises at
the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to
$397,608 from $393,871 in the comparable 2007 three months.

Interest expense  and other expenses in the current three months exceeded
investment income by $181,761 and by $237,517 in the comparable 2007 three
months. The decrease in the excess of interest expense over investment income
was due primarily to increased investment income and scheduled repayments of
debt.


Six months Ended January 31, 2008 Compared to the Six months Ended January 31,
2007:

In the six months ended January 31, 2008, the Company reported a net loss of
($280,818), or ($.14) per share.  In the comparable six months ended January
31, 2007, the Company reported a net loss of ($186,660), or ($.09) per share.

Revenues in the current six months increased to $7,212,651 from $6,707,261 in
the comparable 2007 six months.  The increase in revenues was due to the
Company's leasing to five additional tenants at the Company's Brooklyn,
Jamaica and Levittown, New York properties, offset by the vacating of a tenant
at the Company's Brooklyn, New York property in July 2007.

The recovery of real estate taxes in the current six months in the amount of
$91,043, net of legal expenses, represents prior years' real estate taxes from
one of the Company's properties.  The comparable 2007 six months had a
recovery of real estate taxes in the amount of $13,996.

Real estate operating expenses in the current six months increased to
$4,538,801 from $4,220,702 in the comparable 2007 six months primarily due to
increases in rental expense, utility costs, maintenance costs and lease
commission expense, partially offset by decreases in real estate taxes.

                                    - 12 -

Administrative and general expenses in the current six months increased to
$1,850,890 from $1,427,268 in the comparable 2007 six months primarily due to
increases in payroll costs, insurance costs, legal and professional costs,
pension costs, and a bad debt expense due to a tenant vacating the premises at
the Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current six months increased to
$793,649 from $788,803 in the comparable 2007 six months.

Interest expense  and other expenses in the current six months exceeded
investment income by $357,129 and by $471,148 in the comparable 2007 six
months. The decrease in the excess of interest expense over investment income
was due primarily to increased investment income and 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 $1,876,427 at January 31,
2008.

In October 2006, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a restaurant
at the Company's Levittown premises.  The restaurant intends to construct a
new building.  The tenant expects to open the restaurant in fiscal 2008.  The
tenant began paying partial rent in September 2007.  This will replace the
tenant that vacated the premises in September 2004.  The annual rental income
from this lease agreement will more than offset the annual rental income lost
from the previous tenant.

In July 2007, a tenant who occupied 22,192 square feet of office space at the
Company's Brooklyn, New York property, vacated the premises.  The annual loss
in rental income to the Company will be approximately $470,000.  The Company
is actively seeking, through brokers, tenants to occupy the vacated space.

In May 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement with a tenant for
15,900 square feet of office space at its Jowein building in Brooklyn, New
York.  Rent will commence in March 2008.

Levitz Home Furnishings, Inc. whose lease was assigned to PLVTZ, LLC, d/b/a
Levitz Home Furnishings ("Levitz") which occupies retail space at the
Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York and which accounted for 5.60%
of the annual rental income of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31,
2007, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors on November 8,
2007.  Levitz vacated the premises on January 31, 2008 and informed the
Company in February 2008, of its intentions to reject the lease.  The annual
rental income from Levitz was approximately $800,000.  The Company in March
2008, rented the premises to a tenant for the remaining term of the Levitz
lease (through April 2010) at slightly less than half the Levitz rental.

As part of the $12,000,000 multiple draw term loan, the bank agreed to finance
the cost of two new elevators at the Company's Bond Street building in
Brooklyn, New York.  The amount to be financed will be $850,000.  (See Note
6(e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  The total cost of the
elevator project is estimated to be $1,100,000 and is anticipated to be
completed in fiscal 2008.  In February 2008, the Company converted the
multiple draw term loan to a permanent mortgage loan.  The $850,000 for
elevators is the remaining amount of financing due under this loan.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities:

Payroll and Other Accrued Liabilities:   The Company paid $187,000 for
commissions incurred in order to lease space at the Company's properties in
the six months ended January 31, 2008.  The original amount of the brokerage
commissions was $2,366,743.  As of January 31, 2008, $1,848,377 had been paid.

                                    - 13 -

The Company has paid an additional $672,300 in rent expense to its landlord
for the period of August 1, 2006 through January 31, 2008, which is an
affiliated Company, on its Jamaica, New York property.  The rent expense is
based upon a estimate.  The final amount of rent expense has not yet been
determined and may be submitted to an independent arbitrator for resolution.


Cash Flows From Investing Activities:

The Company had expenditures of $285,242 in the six months ended January 31,
2008 for the renovation of 32,890 square feet for office space for a tenant at
its Jamaica, New York building. The cost of the project was  $564,937 and was
completed in December 2007.

The Company had expenditures of $47,260 in the six months ended January 31,
2008 for the construction of two new elevators. The total cost of the project
is approximately $1,100,000, of which $850,000 will be financed by a bank. The
project is anticipated to be completed in fiscal 2008.

The Company had expenditures of $89,000 in the six months ended January 31,
2008 for the installation of new heat, ventilation and air conditioning
equipment along with the corresponding electrical service required at the
Company's Jamaica, New York building.  The cost of the project will be
approximately $900,000.  The project is anticipated to be completed in May
2008.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities:

Borrowing:  The Company drew down an additional $41,955 on its multiple draw
term loan, to finance tenant improvements and brokerage commissions for the
leasing of 13,026 square feet for office use at the Company's Bond Street
building in Brooklyn, New York.  The total amount financed was $916,670.  (See
Note 6(e) to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks:

The Company uses both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to finance its capital
requirements.  These transactions expose the Company to market risk related to
changes in interest rates.  The Company does not use derivative financial
instruments.  At January 31, 2008, the Company had fixed-rate debt of
$12,440,352 and variable-rate debt of $620,000.  With regards to the Jowein
building, Brooklyn, New York loan (presently with a balance of $620,000), if
interest rates were to change 100 basis points, the effect on net income from
operations and future cash flows would be a decrease, should the rates
increase, or an increase, should the rates decline, of $6,200 for this loan.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements
which include assumptions about future market conditions, operations and
financial results. These statements are based on current expectations and are
subject to risks and uncertainties. They are made pursuant to safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
Company's actual results, performance or achievements in the future could
differ significantly from the results, performance or achievements discussed
or implied in such forward-looking statements herein and in prior Securities
and Exchange Commission filings by the Company. The Company assumes no
obligation to update these forward-looking statements or to advise of changes
in the assumptions on which they were based.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are
not limited to, changes in the competitive environment of the Company, general
economic and business conditions, industry trends, changes in government rules
and regulations and environmental rules and regulations. Statements concerning
interest rates and other financial instrument fair values and their estimated
contribution to the Company's future results of operations are based upon
market information as of a specific date. This market information is often a
function of significant judgment and estimation. Further, market interest
rates are subject to significant volatility.


Controls and Procedures:

The Company's management reviewed the Company's internal controls and
procedures and the effectiveness of these controls. As of January 31, 2008,
the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to
Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based
upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company
required to be included in its periodic SEC filings.

There was no change in the Company's internal controls over financial
reporting or in other factors during the Company's last fiscal quarter that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Company's internal controls over financial reporting. There were no
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, and therefore there were no
corrective actions taken.

Our Accounting Department is comprised of four persons.  Due to such a limited
number of persons, a complete segregation of all of the duties as to which the
department is responsible is not possible.  In order to make sure that the
inability to segregate all duties does not affect our timely and accurate
financial reporting, we need to remain vigilant in maintaining compensating
controls.  These compensating controls will continue to be monitored in order
to assure us that our internal controls over financial reporting remain at a
high level despite the limited number of Accounting Department personnel.

4. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

(a)    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such

  entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being
  prepared;

  materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
  reporting; and

5. The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on
our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of
directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

(a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
  operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably
  likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
  summarize and report financial information; and

  employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control
  over financial reporting.
