                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1994
                                  (UNAUDITED)



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with
         the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of
         the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles or
         those contained in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly,
         these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         audited financial statements of the Trust for the year ended December
         31, 1993, included in the Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         The financial information included herein has been prepared in
         accordance with the Trust's customary accounting practices and has not
         been audited. In the opinion of management, the information presented
         reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of interim
         results. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Real Estate and Provisions for Possible Losses on Real Estate. The
         Trust carries its real estate at the lower of depreciated cost or net
         realizable value, as defined. Management defines net realizable value
         of assets held for investment as the total of the estimated
         undiscounted future cash flows from the property. For assets held for
         sale, management defines net realizable value as estimated market
         value. Provisions for possible losses are recorded when management
         determines that the recorded value of real estate is less than net
         realizable value, as defined. Consistent with management's intention,
         all real estate at September 30, 1994 is classified as held for
         investment. Should unforeseen factors cause all or part of the real
         estate to be classified as held for sale, significant adjustments to
         reduce the carrying value of such properties could be required.

         Property improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are
         expensed as incurred. Depreciation of buildings and capital
         improvements is computed using the straight-line method over forty
         years. Depreciation of tenant improvements is computed using the
         straight-line method over ten years. Lease commissions paid are
         capitalized and amortized over the term of the related lease.

         Income Taxes. The Trust qualifies as a real estate investment trust (a
         "REIT") under Federal income tax law as long as it meets certain asset,
         income, and ownership tests and it distributes 95% of its taxable
         income annually. No provisions for Federal income taxes have been
         required or recorded to date.

NOTE 3 - ACQUISITION OF NORTHVIEW DISTRIBUTION CENTER

         In December 1993, the Trust purchased the Northview Distribution
         Center, a 175,000 square foot multi tenant industrial distribution
         property in Dallas, Texas. The results of operations for this property
         are reflected in the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
         1994.


NOTE 4 - TERMINATION OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND REMOVAL OF FINITE-LIFE PROVISION

         In April 1993, the Independent Trust Managers gave formal notice of the
         Trust's intent to terminate the Advisory Agreement with Trammell Crow
         Ventures, Ltd. (the "Advisor"). The Trust converted to self-
         administration in June 1993. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory
         Agreement, the Trust paid to the Advisor a one-time termination fee of
         $435,000 in the second quarter of 1993. Most of the Trust's properties
         are currently managed by affiliates of the former Advisor. This
         relationship is not considered to be a related party or party-in-
         interest relationship.

         In October 1993, the Trust's Shareholders approved amendments to the
         Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws which, among other things,
         officially changed the name of the Trust to American Industrial
         Properties REIT and removed the limited term restriction of the Trust,
         thereby making the life of the Trust perpetual.


NOTE 5 - PARTIAL DEFEASANCE OF ZERO COUPON NOTES

         In December 1993, the Trust recognized an in-substance partial
         defeasance of the Zero Coupon Notes by offsetting approximately $10.2
         million in restricted funds held by the Trustee for the Noteholders
         against the balance of the Zero Coupon Notes and by recognizing a loss
         on the partial defeasance of $2.5 million.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Below is a summary of Funds From Operations ("FFO") for the Trust for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Management believes that the presentation of FFO will enhance the reader's
understanding of the Trust's financial condition because it provides the reader
with an additional measure of the Trust's operating performance which excludes
non-recurring activities (i.e., gains or losses from debt restructuring and
sales of property) as well as certain non-cash items (i.e., depreciation and
amortization) which generally do not immediately impact a real estate concern's
operations.  Many real estate investment trusts disclose FFO in order to provide
readers with additional information with which to compare performance.  FFO,
however, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator
of the Trust's operating performance or to cash flows from operations as a
measure of liquidity.  The determination of FFO is based on the definition
adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts which is
net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of
property, plus depreciation and amortization (the Trust adds back the
amortization of the original issue discount on its Zero Coupon Notes due 1997),
and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

</TABLE>

          (a) Funds from operations for the three months and nine months ended
          September 30, 1993 does not reflect the operations of the Northview
          Distribution Center which was acquired in December 1993. Funds from
          operations related to the Northview Distribution Center for the three
          months and nine months ended September 30, 1994 were approximately
          $104,000 and $341,000, respectively.

     Funds from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
increased from the same period in 1993 primarily due to  (a) the payment of a
$435,000 termination fee to the former Advisor to the Trust in the second
quarter of 1993,  (b) the acquisition of the Northview Distribution Center in
December 1993,  and (c) increased occupancy and rental rates in the Trust's
other properties, notwithstanding an offsetting increase in administrative
expenses of the Trust in 1994 related to the proxy contest incurred in
connection with the May 1994 Special Meeting of Shareholders. Funds from
operations will be negatively impacted by the $14,500,000 financing (described
below under Liquidity and Capital Resources) as it will require current monthly
payments of principal and interest while replacing the Trust's outstanding zero
coupon notes which accrete at 12.7% and do not require current monthly payments.

     The overall  occupancy of the Trust's portfolio on September 30, 1994 was
93%.  On a same property basis, overall occupancy increased from 87% at
September 30, 1993 to 92% at September 30, 1994.  Net operating income increased
by approximately 9% on a same property basis when comparing the nine months
ended September 30, 1994 to the same period in 1993.  This increase resulted
from increased revenues due to higher occupancy and rental rates as well as
decreased operating expenses.

     The Trust was managed by an outside Advisor until  June 12, 1993, at which
time the Trust became self-administered.  The Trust currently employs six full-
time employees to conduct and manage the business affairs of the Trust.  The
overall costs to the Trust over time under self-administration related to
managerial, administrative and other services are expected to be lower than fees
previously paid to the Advisor.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The principal sources of funds for the Trust's liquidity requirements are
funds generated from operations of the Trust's real estate assets and
unrestricted cash reserves.   The Trust may utilize proceeds from short term
borrowing arrangements, other refinancing transactions (including the financing
transaction with AMRESCO Capital Corporation described below), or sales of
properties (assuming such alternatives are available and can be consummated) to
provide sufficient funds to meet liabilities and commitments relating to the
Trust's operations. The Trust continues to pursue a strategy which is intended
to lower the Trust's cost of capital and enable the Trust to make additional
investments in industrial real estate.

     On October 17, 1994, the Trust announced that it had entered into a
financing commitment with AMRESCO Capital Corporation in the amount of
$14,500,000.  The financing, which is contingent upon credit underwriting, due
diligence and other customary closing conditions and criteria, has a maturity of
seven years with a 25-year amortization and provides the Trust with the option
of either a fixed or variable rate of interest.  The financing will be secured
by a first lien on two of the Trust's properties.  The proceeds from this
financing will be used to defease the Trust's outstanding zero coupon notes and
refinance an existing first lien mortgage.  The defeasance of the outstanding
zero coupon notes will provide approximately $7,000,000 in net funds to the
Trust upon release of cash reserves currently securing the zero coupon notes.
The net funds received by the Trust will be available for working capital
requirements and general corporate purposes, including acquisition of additional
industrial properties.

     In accordance with the terms of the 8.8% Notes payable due 1997, interest
in the amount of approximately $1,990,000 is payable in May and November of each
year.  Due to the Trust's liquidity needs arising from tenant finish costs,
leasing commissions and non-recurring administrative expenses, an agreement was
reached with the noteholder to defer payment of one-half of the interest payment
due in May 1994 for three months.  The amount deferred was paid on August 30,
1994.  Should the financing transaction with AMRESCO Capital Corporation fail to
close, a similar agreement with the noteholder will be required with respect to
the regular interest payment due in November 1994.  At this time, there is no
assurance that such an agreement will be granted by the noteholder.  Should the
Trust default on the November 1994 payment, the noteholder could declare an
event of default and seek appropriate remedies available to it in its capacity
as an unsecured creditor and under  the note agreement.  Such an action may
force the Trust to pursue alternative strategies to protect the interests of the
Shareholders, including seeking protection or other remedies afforded a debtor
under applicable law.

     In November 1993, the Trust provided a quarterly distribution to
Shareholders of $363,000 ($0.04 per share).  In December 1993, the Trust
announced the suspension of quarterly distributions to Shareholders in order to
utilize cash resources for the defeasance of  the remaining Zero Coupon Notes
(see below).   Even if the remaining Zero Coupon Notes are fully defeased, there
can be no assurance as to when such distributions will be reinstated nor, if
reinstated, at what amount.

     The initial capitalization of the Trust included $179,698,000 face amount
of Zero Coupon Notes due November 27, 1997 secured by first or second liens on
all of the Trust's properties.  Amortization of the original issue discount on
the Zero Coupon Notes is a non-cash charge against net income of the Trust,
compounding semiannually at 12%.  Through September 30, 1994, the Trust has
repurchased a substantial amount of the Zero Coupon Notes. Management believes
that the defeasance of the remaining Zero Coupon Notes, which will occur under
the financing discussed above, is necessary in order to provide growth and
financing alternatives to the Trust.

     In acquiring its existing properties, the Trust assumed a total of
$8,075,000 in mortgage debt, of which $7,060,000 remained outstanding as of
September 30, 1994.  The debt service on these mortgages amounted to $199,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1994.  Capitalized improvements and leasing
commissions were $1,263,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 as
compared to $1,639,000 for the same period in 1993.  This decrease is primarily
related to higher tenant finish costs and leasing commissions at the Trust's
retail property during 1993.
