PROXY STATEMENT
Annual Meeting of Shareholders
June 2, 1999

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the
Board of Trustees of Kranzco Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment
trust (the "Company"), of proxies from the holders of the Company's issued and
outstanding common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share, (the
"Common Shares") to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on
Wednesday, June 2, 1999 at the Philadelphia Marriott West, Matson Ford Road and
Route 23, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428, at 9:30 a.m. local time, and
any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of such meeting (the "Annual Meeting"),
for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting.

This Proxy Statement and enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to the
shareholders of the Company entitled thereto on or about April 29, 1999.

At the Annual Meeting, the holders of Common Shares of the Company will be asked
to consider and vote upon the following proposals (the "Proposals"):

1. The election of two trustees to serve until the 2002 annual meeting of
shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualify;

2. The ratification of the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as independent
public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999;

3. Such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Only the holders of record of the Common Shares at the close of business on
March 26, 1999 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting. Each Common Share is entitled to one vote on all matters. As of
the Record Date, 10,538,716 Common Shares were outstanding.

A majority of the Common Shares outstanding must be represented at the Annual
Meeting in person or by proxy to constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at the Annual Meeting.

In order to be elected as a trustee, a nominee must receive a plurality of all
the votes cast at the Annual Meeting (Proposal 1). The affirmative vote of the
holders of at least a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is
required to ratify the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as the Company's
independent public accountants (Proposal 2 ). For purposes of calculating votes
cast with respect to each Proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be
counted as cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote on either
Proposal.

The Common Shares represented by all properly executed proxies returned to the
Company will be voted at the Annual Meeting as indicated or, if no instruction
is given, in favor of all Proposals. As to any other business which may properly
come before the Annual Meeting, all properly executed proxies will be voted by
the persons named therein in accordance with their best judgment. The Company
does not presently know of any other business which will come before the Annual
Meeting. Any person giving a proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before
it is exercised (a) by filing with the Secretary of the Company a duly signed
revocation or a proxy bearing a later date or (b) by electing to vote in person
at the Annual Meeting. Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not serve to
revoke a proxy. If a holder of Common Shares is a participant in the Company's
Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the accompanying Proxy Card should include the
number of Common Shares registered in the participant's name under the plan.

NO PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION
OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH
INFORMATION MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED AND THE DELIVERY
OF THIS PROXY STATEMENT SHALL, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, CREATE ANY IMPLICATION
THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE COMPANY SINCE THE DATE
HEREOF.

TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION

Each non-employee trustee of the Company receives an annual fee of $18,000 and a
fee of $1,500 for each quarterly meeting attended. The trustees have agreed to
receive these fees in the form of Common Shares. The shares are awarded
quarterly on the first business day of the fiscal quarter and are valued based
on the closing price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on the
last business day of the previous quarter. Each trustee is entitled to cash
payments of $500 for each separate committee meeting attended, $1,000 for each
trip to visit properties which are the subject of possible acquisition by the
Company, and is entitled, pursuant to the provisions of the Trustee Plan, to
grants of options to purchase Common Shares. Employees of the Company who are
also trustees are not paid any trustees' fees. In addition, the Company
reimburses the trustees for travel expenses incurred in connection with their
activities on behalf of the Company. During the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998, Mr. Dennis was issued 3,000 options pursuant to the Trustee Plan.

Under the terms of the Incentive Plan each non-employee trustee of the Company
is granted options each year to purchase 1,500 Common Shares at a price equal to
the then fair market value of Common Shares on the date of grant. Additionally,
each non-employee trustee shall be granted options each year to purchase an
additional 1,500 Common Shares at a price equal to the then fair market value of
Common Shares on the date of grant, provided that the Company's funds from
operations per Common Share, as defined, have increased at least 4% over the
prior year's funds from operations per Common Share. In accordance with the
terms of the Incentive Plan, on March 16, 1999 the Company awarded 1,500
options to purchase Common Shares to each of the Company's non-employee trustees
at an exercise price of $11.75 per Common Share.

TRUSTEE PLAN AND EMPLOYEE PLAN

Prior to the Company's initial public offering in November 1992, the Option
Plans were adopted by the Board and all of the then current shareholders. The
Option Plans are administered by the Option Plans Committee established for such
purpose. The current members of such committee are Messrs. Kranzdorf and Barrett
(the "Administrators"). The Option Plans provide for the grant of options to
purchase Common Shares to eligible participants. The persons entitled to
participate in the Trustee Plan are those trustees of the Company or trustees or
directors of any of the Company's subsidiaries or affiliates as the
Administrators of the Option Plans shall select from time to time. Eligible
participants of the Employee Plan consist of those key employees (other than
trustees or directors) of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates,
as the Administrators shall select from time to time. Options are granted by the
Administrators based upon such factors as the Administrators may deem proper and
relevant. The Option Plans were designed to attract, retain and motivate key
employees by granting them options to purchase Common Shares. The Option Plans
provide for the grant of a maximum of 700,000 Common Shares under the Trustee
Plan and 300,000 Common Shares under the Employee Plan, and permit the granting
of share options to employees which are either Incentive Options or
Non-Qualified Options.

Subject to the terms of Option Plans, the Administrators determine the
recipients of options and the number of options to be granted under the Option
Plans. As of December 31, 1998 options to purchase 427,800 and 191,550 Common
Shares were outstanding under the Trustee Plan and Employee Plan, respectively,
all of which were exercisable as of December 31, 1998. During the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1998, 3,000 options were issued to Mr. Dennis from the
Trustee Plan. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, 7,500 options were
issued to Mr. Demuth from the Employee Plan.

1995 INCENTIVE PLAN

The Incentive Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company at the
Company's 1995 annual meeting of shareholders held in June 1995. The Incentive
Plan is administered by the Incentive Plan Committee which consists of Messrs.
Finn and Linneman. In general, it is intended that members of the Incentive Plan
Committee will not be employees of the Company.

The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to align the interests of the Company's
trustees, executive officers, key employees, advisors and consultants with those
of the shareholders and to enable the Company to attract, compensate and retain
trustees, executive officers, key employees, advisors and consultants and
provide them with appropriate incentives and rewards for their performance.
Awards to trustees, executive officers, key employees and other individuals
under the Incentive Plan may take the form of options to purchase Common Shares,
including corresponding share appreciation rights and reload options, and in the
case of employees, restricted share awards and share purchase awards.

All employees, trustees, and certain other key individuals are currently
eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan subject to certain restrictions
that apply to members of the Incentive Plan Committee. Awards under the
Incentive Plan may be granted in combination with other awards, including
options granted under the Option Plans. The maximum number of Common Shares that
may be the subject of awards under the Incentive Plan is 1,000,000 Common
Shares. The Incentive Plan provides that in any given year, the maximum number
of Common Shares with respect to which options or share appreciation rights may
be granted to any employee is 100,000 Common Shares. As of December 31, 1998,
options to purchase 313,500 Common Shares were outstanding under the Incentive
Plan. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, 3,000 options were issued
to each of Messrs. Korman, Linneman, Selonick and Shapiro, and 1,500 options
were issued to Mr. Finn in accordance with the Incentive Plan.

BOARD AND EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive compensation is paid by the Company in the form of cash or through
grants of awards under the Option Plans or the Incentive Plan. All final
decisions regarding the cash component of executive compensation are made by the
Board which, in making such determinations, takes into consideration the
recommendations of the Executive Compensation Committee as well as the matters
considered by, and the philosophy applied by such committee as set forth below.
All final decisions regarding grants of awards under the Option Plans and
Incentive Plan are made by the plans' respective administrators (the "Plan
Administrators") who, in making such compensation decisions, take into
consideration recommendations made by the Board and/or its Executive
Compensation Committee. In making its recommendations to the Board or the Plan
Administrators, as the case may be, the Executive Compensation Committee reviews
the Company's compensation plans, programs and policies and monitors the
performance and compensation of its executive officers. The Executive
Compensation Committee also reviews the compensation plans for comparable
positions at other real estate investment trusts ("REITs") in the comparison
peer group in evaluating the Company's compensation plans, programs and
policies.

The key elements of the Company's executive compensation package are base
salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives. The policies with respect to each
of these elements, as well as the compensation paid to the executive officers of
the Company during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, are discussed below.

BASE SALARIES

Base salaries for executive officers are determined by evaluating the
responsibilities of the position held and the experience of the individual, and
by reference to the competitive marketplace for executive talents, including a
comparison to base salaries for comparable positions at other real estate
investment trusts ("REITs") in the comparison peer group. The base salaries
currently are intended to be fixed at the average level of the base salaries
paid to executive officers with comparable qualifications, experience and
responsibilities at other REITs in the comparison peer group. Increases in the
base salaries of certain of the Company's executive officers ( Mr Kranzdorf, Mr.
Dennis and Mr. Barrett) were recommended by the Executive Compensation Committee
and approved by the Board, effective as of July 1, 1998 . Annual salary
adjustments are determined based on an evaluation of executive officers'
responsibilities and performance, as well as a review of the amount of base
salaries paid to executive officers with comparable qualifications, experience
and responsibilities by other REITs that would compete in the Company's shopping
center business and the performance of the Company.

ANNUAL BONUS

In 1994, the Executive Compensation Committee proposed, and the Board approved,
an incentive compensation plan effective for the 1994 fiscal year, setting forth
guidelines pursuant to which each executive officer would be entitled, at the
sole discretion of the Board, to receive incentive compensation consisting of
an annual bonus equal to a percentage of each executive officer's base salary
for the applicable year so long as the Company achieved certain increases in
funds from operations, as defined, per Common Share for the prior calendar year.
The table below sets forth the percentage increases in funds from operations per
Common Share necessary percentage but may not exceed it.

Percentage Increases Maximum
In Funds From Operations Percentage of Incentive
Per Common Share From Prior Year Compensation Payable
------------------------------- --------------------
5% or more 100.00 %

4 to 4.99% 33.33 %

3 to 3.99% 16.66 %

Below 2.99% 0.00 %

The Executive Compensation Committee, in recommending the amount of annual
bonuses, if any, to be paid to executive officers pursuant to the incentive
compensation plan or otherwise with respect to a fiscal year, reviews the
performance of the Company and, if appropriate, the Common Shares during such
fiscal year, and non-financial performance measures such as the respective
executive's performance, effort and role in promoting the long-term strategic
growth of the Company, as well as such other matters as the Executive
Compensation Committee may deem appropriate.

With respect to the fiscal year 1998, the Company paid to each of its executive
officers a cash bonus of approximately 2% of such officer's base salary plus an
additional bonus equal to 20% of such officer's base salary, payable in the form
of restricted Common Shares which vest over a three-year period. The restricted
Common Shares were granted under the Incentive Plan. Although such bonuses were
not paid to the executive officers pursuant to the Company's incentive
compensation plan adopted in 1994, the Executive Compensation Committee, in
determining whether to recommend such bonuses, applied the criteria set forth in
the preceding paragraph.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVES

Long-term incentives are designed to align the interests of the Company's
employees, trustees and other key individuals with those of the Company's
shareholders. In (i) awarding options and share appreciation rights under the
Incentive Plan to its employees, trustees and other key individuals, (ii) making
grants of restricted Common Shares, and (iii) making loans to employees for the
purchase of Common Shares in connection with a share purchase award,
consideration is given to the amount of options previously granted to them and
whether any long-term incentives have previously been awarded.

Share options and related share appreciation rights are generally granted with
an exercise price equal to the market price of the Common Shares on the date of
grant and vest and become exercisable over a period of years based upon
continued employment. This creates shareholder value over the long term since
the full benefit of the compensation package cannot be realized unless share
price appreciation occurs over a number of years.

Grants of restricted Common Shares to employees also form a part of the
Company's long-term incentive package. Typically some portion of such grants
vest annually over a period of several years, so long as the executive officer
remains employed by the Company. In making grants of restricted Common Shares,
the Incentive Plan Committee considers and gives approximately equal weight to
an individual's scope of responsibilities, experience, past contributions to the
Company and anticipated contributions to the Company's long-term success.

Another component of the Company's long-term incentive package may include
making loans to employees for the purchase of Common Shares in connection with a
share purchase award under the Incentive Plan. These loans typically will be
secured by the Common Shares purchased and otherwise will be non-recourse. The
loans may be interest-free and may be forgiven in part over time provided that
the executive officer has not resigned as an employee of the Company and may be
forgiven in full in the event employment terminates by reason of death,
disability, termination with "cause" or a "change of control." In making such
loans, the Incentive Plan Committee will consider the same factors it considers
in making grants of restricted Common Shares.

The Executive Compensation Committee believes that share options, share
appreciation rights, grants of restricted shares and loans to purchase shares
promote loyalty to the Company and encourage recipients to coordinate their
interests with those of the shareholders. The Executive Compensation Committee
may consider additional types of long-term incentives in the future.

COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Mr. Kranzdorf's compensation is determined after consideration of his long-term
qualifications, responsibilities and experience in the real estate industry, and
the compensation package awarded to chief executive officers of other comparable
REITs. The Company believes that Mr. Kranzdorf's base salary is less than the
average base salary for chief executive officers of such other similar REITs
based on the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' (NAREIT)
survey and other sources. In 1998, Mr. Kranzdorf received a base salary of
$306,678 and an annual cash bonus of $6,082. Mr. Kranzdorf's salary and cash
bonus was based on a review of the salary and bonus paid to other chief
executive officers by similar size and type REITs. The results of various
studies from leading compensation firms and NAREIT were considered by the
Executive Compensation Committee. After such study, it was determined that Mr.
Kranzdorf's base salary and bonus were less than industry benchmarks.

For the long-term incentive component of Mr. Kranzdorf's compensation, in 1998
the Incentive Plan Committee granted to Mr. Kranzdorf 2,983 restricted Common
Shares under the Incentive Plan. Such shares vest over a three-year period
commencing on the date of grant. See the table above captioned "Summary
Compensation Table." Mr. Kranzdorf's long-term incentive compensation was based
on the same factors and considerations as those of the Company's other executive
officers, namely the desire to properly compensate its executives and to promote
loyalty to the Company. His long-term incentive compensation reflects the
Executive Compensation Committee's desire to create incentives for him and focus
him on maximizing shareholder value, and the practice of the Company's primary
competitors for executive talent (particularly REITs) of making long-term
incentive grants to chief executive officers.

OMNIBUS BUDGET RECONCILIATION ACT IMPLICATIONS FOR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

It is the responsibility of the Executive Compensation Committee to address the
issues raised by the provisions in the tax laws which make certain
non-performance-based compensation to executives of public companies in excess
of $1,000,000 non-deductible to the Company. In this regard, the Executive
Compensation Committee considers whether any actions with respect to this limit
should be taken by the Company. No executive officer of the Company received any
such compensation in excess of this limit during 1998. The Incentive Plan has
been designed in a manner to allow certain grants of options and share
appreciation rights to be treated as performance based and, therefore, not
subject to the $1,000,000 limitation. The Executive Compensation Committee will
continue to monitor the $1,000,000 limitation and will make necessary
recommendations if it is warranted in the future.

CONCLUSION

The Executive Compensation Committee's goal is to enhance the profitability of
the Company and, thus, shareholder value, by aligning closely the financial
interests of the Company's key executives with those of its shareholders.
Specifically, the Executive Compensation Committee has sought, and will continue
to seek, to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified
executive officers, to motivate such executives and to achieve the goals
inherent in the Company's business strategy and to emphasize share ownership by
such executives and, thereby, tie long-term compensation to increases in
shareholder value.

To permit ongoing evaluation of the link between the Company's performance and
its executive compensation, the Executive Compensation Committee intends to
conduct a full review of the Company's executive compensation program each year.
This review will include a review of such executive's responsibilities and
efforts and a comparison of the Company's executive compensation, Company
performance, share appreciation and total return to shareholders primarily to
other retail shopping center-oriented REITs that represent the Company's most
direct competitors for executive talents. The Executive Compensation Committee
will also continually review the selection of peer companies used for
compensation analysis. Since the peer group index in the Performance Graph
included in this Proxy Statement includes all equity REITs and not just those
which are retail shopping center-oriented, the peer group used for compensation
analysis will consist only of certain of the REITs included in the peer group
index in the Performance Graph.

In addition, while the elements of compensation described above will be
considered separately, the Executive Compensation Committee will take into
account the full compensation package afforded by the Company to the individual,
including pension benefits, supplemental retirement benefits, severance plans,
insurance and other benefits. In this regard, it should be noted that the
Company has implemented a 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all
officers and employees of the Company. The 401(k) plan permits participants to
defer up to a maximum of 10% of their compensation, which deferrals may, in the
Company's sole discretion, be matched by the Company in an amount equal to 50%
of the first 5% of the employee's salary. Under the terms of the 401(k) plan,
the Company may also, in its sole discretion, make additional profit sharing
contributions to such plan. For the year 1998, the Company made total
contributions of $80,000 to the 401(k) plan.

Through the programs described above, a very significant portion of the
Company's executive compensation is linked to individual and corporate
performance.

The foregoing report has been furnished by the Board and the Executive
Compensation Committee.

SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE GRAPH

The following table compares the cumulative total shareholder return on the
Common Shares for the period commencing November 19, 1992 through December 31,
1998 with the cumulative total return on the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index
("S&P 500") and the NAREIT Equity REIT Total Return Index ("NAREIT Index") over
the same period. Total return values for the S&P 500, the NAREIT Index and the
Common Shares were calculated based on cumulative total return assuming the
investment of $100 in the S&P 500 and the NAREIT Index on November 1, 1992, and
in the Common Shares on November 19, 1992, and assuming reinvestment of
dividends. The shareholder return shown on the graph below is not necessarily
indicative of future performance.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company leases from Norman and Hermina Kranzdorf a three-story building
containing approximately 20,000 square feet located at 128 Fayette Street,
Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, which serves as the Company's headquarters. The
lease for the Company's headquarters expires on January 15, 2004 and provides
that the Company will pay a rental of $153,720 per annum. The lease also
provides that the Company will pay for all real estate taxes, utilities, repairs
and other costs and expenses in connection with the use and occupancy of the
building.

PURCHASE OF SHARES IN NEW AMERICA

In September 1998, the Company announced that it had commenced a tender offer
for 80% of the outstanding shares of New America and Gerald C. Finn and Jeffrey
Finn, its principal shareholders. Gerald C. Finn (a Class II Trustee) is
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the owner of approximately 75% of New
America's outstanding shares of common stock. The proposed transaction involved
an exchange offer by the Company for 80% of New America's outsanding common
shares for the Company's convertible subordinated notes. The Company would have
then spun-off the shares of New America's common stock to its shareholders on a
one-for-one basis and retained a 9.8% interest. If Gerald Finn had converted his
note in its entirety, he would have owned approximately 300,000 shares or 2.8%,
of the Company's outstanding Common Shares. The transaction was terminated in
December 1998. In December 1998, the Company purchased 842,851 newly issued
shares of New America, representing a 6.1% interest in New America for $1
million.

On March 28, 1997 the Company entered into Severance Benefits Agreements with
Norman M. Kranzdorf, Robert H. Dennis, Edmund Barrett, Bengt Danielsson, Michael
Warrington and Michael Kranzdorf pursuant to which such individuals are entitled
to certain compensation upon a change in control of the Company. Each agreement
provides that upon a change in control and so long as such individual is an
employee of the Company immediately prior to such a change in control, (a) the
individual shall receive a lump sum severance payment equal to a multiple of the
individual's annual compensation during the calendar year preceding the calendar
year during which the change in control has occurred; the multiple is three, two
and one, with respect to (i) Norman M. Kranzdorf, (ii) Robert H. Dennis and
Edmund Barrett, and (iii) Bengt Danielsson, Michael Warrington and Michael
Kranzdorf, respectively, (b) all restricted Common Shares then owned by the
individual shall immediately vest and no longer be subject to repurchase or
other forfeiture restrictions, (c) the Company will continue to provide life,
accident, medical and dental insurance to the individual for a period of 18
months after the change in control, and (d) in the event the individual holds
any options to purchase Common Shares on the date of the change in control, such
individual shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to, generally, the
number of options to purchase Common Shares then owned by the individual
multiplied by the amount, if any, that (i) the exercise price of the options or
the closing price of the Common Shares on the date of the change in control,
whichever is less, exceeds (ii) the average closing price of the Common Shares
during the six months prior to the date of the change in control ("Closing Share
Value"). If the closing price of the Common Shares as of the date of the change
in control is greater than the exercise price of such option then the individual
can retain the option or receive in exchange therefore cash equal to the number
of shares underlying the options multiplied by the amount by which the Closing
Share Value exceeds the exercise prices of the options. In addition, Norman M.
Kranzdorf is entitled to receive an additional sum to cover certain resulting
income and excise tax liabilities that may be incurred on all of the foregoing.
Furthermore, the Severance Benefits Agreement of each individual other than
Norman M. Kranzdorf provides that, to the extent that any of the foregoing
benefits granted to such individual would cause him to be liable for excise tax
liabilities, the benefits available to him shall be reduced to an amount which
would not require the payment of any such excise tax, but only if doing so
yields a greater after tax amount to such individual.

In addition, the Company entered into Severance Benefits Agreements with Peter
Linneman and E. Donald Shapiro on March 19, 1997, and Bernard Korman and Gerald
Finn on July 30, 1998, trustees of the Company, pursuant to which, if such
individual is a trustee immediately prior to a change in control, upon such a
change in control and, in the event the trustee holds any options to purchase
Common Shares on the date of the change in control, such individual shall be
entitled to receive an amount based on the formula described in clause (d) of
the preceding paragraph. In addition, the Severance Benefits Agreement of each
trustee provides that, to the extent that the foregoing benefits granted to such
trustee would cause him to be liable for excise tax liabilities, the benefits
available to him shall be reduced to an amount which would not require the
payment of any such excise tax, but only if doing so yields a greater after tax
amount to such trustee.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The Board has established an Executive Compensation Committee, the function of
which is to review and make recommendations to the Board and the Plan
Administrators regarding compensation for the executive officers of the Company.
The Executive Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Kranzdorf, Korman and
Shapiro. Other than Mr. Kranzdorf, who is the President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company, none of the members of the Executive Compensation
Committee are or have been employees of the Company. See "Certain Relationships
and Related Transactions" for a description of transactions between the Company
and Mr. Kranzdorf.

Prior to the Company's initial public offering in November 1992, the Option
Plans were adopted by the Board and all of the then current shareholders of the
Company. In connection with the creation of the Option Plans, the Board
established the Option Plans Committee to administer the Option Plans. The
Option Plans Committee, which determines those key employees entitled to grants
of options under the Option Plans, is composed of Messrs. Kranzdorf and Barrett,
each of whom is an employee of the Company.

On June 6, 1995, the shareholders approved the Incentive Plan. The Board then
established the Incentive Plan Committee to administer the plan. The Incentive
Plan Committee, the function of which is to determine the trustees, executive
officers, key employees and other individuals who will be eligible for awards
under the plan, consists of Messrs. Linneman and Finn, neither of whom are
employees of the Company.

To the Company's knowledge, there were no other interrelationships involving the
trustees of the Company and compensation decisions requiring disclosure in this
Proxy Statement.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership
of the Common Shares, including Common Shares as to which a right to acquire
ownership exists (for example, through the exercise of stock options) within the
meaning of rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended, by
each person known by the Company to own beneficially more than 5% of the Common
Shares, each trustee and named executive, and all trustees and executive
officers as a group as of March 1, 1999 (unless otherwise indicated). As
permitted by applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules, no separate
information with respect to the Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the
other executive officers of the Company is given because no such officer earned
$100,000 or more in compensation in the fiscal year ended December 31,1998.
(Except as otherwise noted, each person named in the table has sole voting and
investment power with respect to all of the Common Shares shown as beneficially
owned by him or it.)

SECTION 16(a)
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the
Company's trustees, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Trustees, executive officers and greater than 10%
beneficial owners are required by regulation of the Securities and Exchange
Commission to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) Forms 3, 4
and 5 they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or
written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons, the Company believes that all filing requirements
with respect to transactions during 1998 for all of its trustees, executive
officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

SHAREHOLDERS PROPOSALS

Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at the 2000 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices
not later than December 1, 1999 for inclusion in the Company's proxy statement
and form of proxy relating to that meeting.

In addition, the Bylaws of the Company provide that in order for a shareholder
to nominate a candidate for election as a trustee at an annual meeting of
shareholders or propose business for consideration at such a meeting, notice
must be given to the secretary of the Company no more than 90 days nor less than
60 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting.
The fact that the Company may not insist upon compliance with these requirements
should not be construed as a waiver by the Company of its right to do so at any
time in the future.

FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

The Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998,
including financial statements, was previously sent to shareholders. The Annual
Report is not a part of the proxy solicitation materials.

EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. Brokers and
nominees should forward soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of the
Common Shares held of record by such persons, and the Company will reimburse
them for their reasonable forwarding expenses. In addition to the use of the
mails, proxies may be solicited by trustees, officers and regular employees of
the Company, who will not be specially compensated for such services, by means
of personal calls upon, or telephonic or telegraphic communications with
shareholders or their personal representatives.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board knows of no matters other than those described in this Proxy Statement
which are likely to come before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters
properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying
form of proxy intend to vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment.
