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 interim financial statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements
for reporting on Form 10-Q. The July 31, 2003 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, 2003. 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, 2004.

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
three and six months ended January 31, 2004, and 2,033,280 for the three
and six months ended January 31, 2003.

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.

As of January 31, 2004, the Company's marketable securities were classified
as follows:

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 14.92% of
rental income during the six months ended January 31, 2004. No other tenant
accounted for more than 10% of rental income during the same period.

The Company has three irrevocable Letters of Credit totaling $319,000 at
January 31, 2004 and July 31, 2003, provided by three tenants.

========== ========== ========== ==========


(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. As of April 1, 2002, the
effective rate was reduced to 5.00% per annum. The outstanding balance of
the loan, totaling $1,355,555 will become due and payable on April 1, 2007.

(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
42,250 square feet 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 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


-8-






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.

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

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 six months
ended January 31, 2003, representing rental from the affiliated company.
There was no rental income from the affiliated company for the six months
ended January 31, 2004.

10. Employees' Retirement Plan:

The Company sponsors a noncontributory Money Purchase Plan covering
substantially all of its employees. Operations were charged $68,806 and
$137,510 as contributions to the Plan for the three and six months ended
January 31, 2004, respectively, and $73,158 and $138,146 as contributions
to the Plan for the three and six months ended January 31, 2003,
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.

Statements.

costs, partially offset by a decrease in insurance costs.

$755,417 from $864,355 in the comparable 2003 three months due to decreases in
payroll, insurance, and legal and professional costs.

Interest expense and other expenses in the current three months exceeded
investment income by $64,744 and by $73,317 in the comparable 2003 three months.

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 $447,480 at January 31, 2004.

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 loss in annual revenue
to the Company commencing June 1, 2004, relating to the termination of the
lease, will approximate $2,440,000. 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 87,000 square feet of
available space in the building.

The Company leased 22,192 square feet for office use to a tenant in the
Company's Brooklyn, New York property. Rent is anticipated to commence in May
2004. The Company anticipates leasing 25,423 square feet in the same building
for office use to a tenant. Rent is anticipated to commence in April 2004. The
Company also leased 8,300 square feet for office use to two tenants in the
Company's Jowein building in Brooklyn, New York. Rent commenced in December 2003
for one tenant and is anticipated to commence in April 2004 for the other
tenant. To replace the retail store which vacated the Jamaica, New York location
in March 2003, the Company divided the space into three retail stores. As of
January 31, 2004, the Company has leased 54,289 square feet to two tenants. Rent
commenced in September 2003.

The first mortgage loan balance on the Fishkill, New York property matures on
July 1, 2004, with a balloon payment due of $1,856,852. The Company is presently
having discussions with the bank to extend this mortgage (See Note 6(d) to the
Consolidated Financial Statements).

The Company entered into a contract to purchase a one half interest in a parcel
which is part of its Brooklyn, New York property. The parcel is currently leased
to the Company. The purchase price is $1,500,000 and will be financed by an
affiliated company. The terms of the financing will be comparable to terms that
the Company would receive from unrelated parties.

The Company has decided to liquidate its portfolio of preferred securities in
order to fund tenant improvements.

incurred in order to lease space at the Company's properties in the six months
ended January 31, 2004. The original amount of the brokerage leasing commissions

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks:

The Company primarily uses fixed-rate debt to finance its capital requirements.
These transactions do not expose the Company to market risk related to changes
in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. At
January 31, 2004, the Company had fixed-rate debt of $7,448,126. Because of the
negotiations on the Fishkill, New York property loan, if interest rates were to
increase 100 basis points, the effect to net income from operations and future
cash flows would be a decrease of $19,053 and if it were to decrease 100 basis
points, the effect would be an increase of $19,053 for this loan. Due to the
loan payable to securities broker in the amount of $334,565, if interest rates
were to increase 100 basis points, the effect to net income from operations and
future cash flows would be a decrease of $3,346 and if it were to decrease 100
basis points, the effect would be an increase of $3,346 for this loan.

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, 2004, 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,

them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in

affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal
controls over financial reporting. There were no significant deficiencies or
