                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Accounting Records and Use of Estimates:

   The accounting records are maintained in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles ("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, 2000 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, 2000.  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, 2001.

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 2,086,378 and
   2,135,780 in the three month periods ended October 31, 2000 and October 31,
   1999, respectively. The Company's adoption of Statement of Financial
   Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), "Earnings Per Share", has had no effect on
   the computation of previously reported earnings per share.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:


   In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"),
   was issued.  SFAS 130 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.  SFAS 130 is effective for financial
   statements for periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  Reclassification
   of financial statements for earlier periods presented for comparative
   purposes was required upon adoption.

                                   -6-

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.

(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 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)Mortgage is held by an affiliated corporation owned by members, including
   certain directors of the Company, of the family of the late Joe Weinstein,

   period the constant quarterly payments of interest and principal increased
   from $37,263 to $38,044.  The mortgage loan is self-amortizing.

(c)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.

   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:

     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, but
     continued occupancy until March 22, 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
     Company has made no provision in its financial statements for the balance
     of its claims filed against Jamesway due to the fact that there will not
     be any further distributions.

     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.

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


Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended October 31, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended October
31, 1999:

In the three months ended October 31, 2000, the Company reported net income of
$313,475, or $.15 per share.  In the comparable three months ended October 31,
1999, the Company reported net income of $294,500, or $.14 per share

Revenues in the current three months increased to $2,736,892 from $2,704,905
in the comparable 1999 three months.  The increase is primarily due to the
leasing of 11,200 square feet to a tenant at the Company's Jamaica, New York
property.  The lease commenced September 1, 2000.

Real estate operating expenses in the current three months increased to
$1,405,989 from $1,358,842 in the comparable 1999 three months primarily due
to an increase in real estate taxes, utility and maintenance costs, partially
offset by a decrease in water and sewer costs and license and permits.

Administrative and general expenses in the current three months increased to
$545,816 from $542,313 in the comparable 1999 three months.

The bad debt recovery in the amount of $47,532 in the current three months
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 1999
three month period.

Depreciation and amortization expense in the current three months increased to
$261,277 from $246,241 in the comparable 1999 three months.

Interest expense in the current three months exceeded investment income by
$83,867 and by $96,009 in the comparable 1999 three months. The decrease was
due to 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 $1,630,689 at October 31,
2000.

The Company, on October 26, 2000, signed a commitment letter with a bank for a
loan in the amount of $3,500,000, the loan to be 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 financial statements do not give effect to the commitment
letter.  The loan proceeds are to be utilized by the Company toward its costs
of capital improvements of the premises in connection with the Company's lease
of 42,250 square feet of a floor in the building to the State of New York.
                             -11-
     The loan is structured in two phases:

     1)  A nine-month second mortgage construction loan with a six-month
     extension option with interest at a floating prime rate.  During this
     period, the Company is to have the option to secure advances against the
     loan amount.

     2)  Upon completion of the renovations, the construction loan would
     convert to a 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 equal to the five (5)-year treasury note rate plus
     2.25% per annum, set 3 days prior to closing and during the five (5) year
     renewal term, at a fixed rate equal to the five (5) year treasury note
     rate, as of the start of such period, plus 2.25% per annum.

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, equal to 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 commitment letter provide certain restrictions on the
incurrence of indebtedness and the sale or transfer of the Company's ground
lease interest in the premises.  Both facilities will be subject to the bank's
existing first position mortgage loan on the premises.

The Company, on October 20, 2000, completed a lease with the State of New York
for 42,250 square feet of office space in the Company's Jamaica, New York
property.  Occupancy is anticipated to commence on or about August 1, 2001.
See above for details of a commitment letter with a bank, signed by the
Company on October 26, 2000, for a loan to cover the cost of capital
improvements in connection with the aforementioned lease of 42,250 square
feet.

During fiscal 2000, the Company leased 11,200 square feet of office space to
the State of New York which space is contiguous to the existing office space
occupied by the State in the Company's Jamaica, New York property.  Rent for
the additional space commenced September 1, 2000.

The Company has a mortgage on its Brooklyn, New York property which becomes
due on May 1, 2001.  The Company has not determined whether it will renew this
mortgage.

New York building.  Occupancy is anticipated to commence on or about August 1,
