                   BISHOP CAPITAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)



1.    Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in
     the opinion of management,  necessary for a fair  presentation of financial
     position at June 30, 1999 and results of operations for the interim periods
     ended  June 30,  1999  and  1998.  Such  adjustments  are of a  normal  and
     recurring  nature.  The  interim  results  presented  are  not  necessarily
     indicative  of results that can be expected  for a full year.  Although the
     Company  believes  that  the  disclosures  in  the  accompanying  financial
     statements are adequate to make the  information  presented not misleading,
     certain information and footnote information normally included in financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to the  rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,  and these financial
     statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  Company's  audited
     consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for
     the year ended March 31, 1999.

2.    Revenue Recognition

     Sales of real estate  generally  are  accounted  for under the full accrual
     method.  Under that method, gain is not recognized until the collectibility
     of the sales  price is  reasonably  assured  and the  earnings  process  is
     virtually  complete.  When a sale does not meet the requirements for income
     recognition,  gain is deferred until those  requirements  are met. Sales of
     real estate are  accounted  for under the  percentage-of-completion  method
     when the Company has material  obligations under sales contracts to provide
     improvements after the property is sold. Under the percentage-of-completion
     method,  the gain on sale is  recognized  as the  related  obligations  are
     fulfilled.

     In  connection   with  the  real  estate   sales,   the  Company  used  the
     percentage-of- completion method to determine the amount of gross profit to
     be recognized for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 as follows:

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


The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Forward-Looking Statements

The  following  discussion  of this report may contain  certain  forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995,  Section 21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended,  and
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  and is subject to the
safe harbors  created by those  sections.  Such  forward-looking  statements are
subject to risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors,  which could cause  actual
results to differ  materially  from future results  expressed or implied by such
forward-looking  statements.  The forward-looking  statements within this report
are identified by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends,"
"may" and other similar expressions.  However, these words are not the exclusive
means of identifying such statements.  In addition, any statements that refer to
expectations,  projections  or  other  characterizations  of  future  events  or
circumstances  are  forward-looking  statements.  The following  discussion  and
analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited consolidated
financial statements and notes included elsewhere herein.

Results of Operations

The Company's results of operations are dependent  primarily on the sale of real
estate  which is  affected  by  national  and  local  economic  and  competitive
conditions,   including  interest  rates,   construction   costs,   governmental
regulations and  legislation,  availability  of financing and other factors.  In
addition,  the Company  competes with other owners and  developers  with greater
resources and experience.

The  Company's  net income for the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 was $6,000
compared  to $30,200  for the  comparable  period in 1998.  The  decrease in the
current  quarter is primarily  attributable  to a decrease in real estate sales.
The Company,  in the current  quarter,  sold one lot in its Wyoming  residential
subdivision.

General and administrative  expenses decreased $4,900 or 4% for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.  The decrease is due to
a general reduction in overhead expenses.

Net gas royalty income decreased  $10,700 or 45% for the three months ended June
30, 1999  compared to the same period in 1998.  Natural gas  production  for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1999 was 12,378 mcf compared to 15,281 mcf for the
comparable  period in 1998.  The 19% decrease in  production is primarily due to
operational  problems in the gas  processing  plant.  The average sales price of
natural gas  decreased  14% ($1.69 per mcf  compared to $1.96 mcf) for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.  Gas  processing
costs and  production  taxes  increased  42%  ($5,100  for the  current  quarter
compared to $3,600 in the comparable 1998 quarter).

<PAGE>


Interest and dividend income  increased $1,600 or 21% for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 due to additional  investments
in redeemable preferred securities.

Rental  income  increased  $3,100 in the  current  quarter  compared to the same
period in 1998 due to a new  tenant  leasing  available  space in the  Company's
office building.

The net unrealized gain on marketable securities of $86,400 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 represents the net change in the market value of the trading
securities portfolio from March 31, 1999.

Equity in limited  partnership  income of $2,700 and $2,600 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  primarily represents the Company's
share of the net rental income from a ground lease.

Interest  expense  increased  $5,100 for the three  months  ended June 30,  1999
compared to the same period in 1998 due to additional  borrowings under the bank
line of credit and an increase in the margin balance payable to a broker.

Financial Condition

At June 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $560,800.

The following  summary table reflects  comparative  quarterly cash flows for the
Company as follows:

                                                       Three Months Ended
                                                            June 30,
                                                  -------------------------
                                                      1999           1998
                                                      ----           ----
      Net cash provided by (used in):
           Operating activities                   $  (14,500)     $ 116,200
           Investing activities                        1,300         (2,900)
           Financing activities                        9,400            --

The Company had negative cash flows from operating activities of $14,500 for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1999  compared to net cash  provided by  operating
activities  of  $116,200  for the  comparable  period in 1998.  The  decrease in
operating  cash flows was due primarily to a lower sales volume of improved real
estate in the current period.

Net cash provided from investing activities of $1,300 for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 resulted from proceeds from  collection of notes  receivable.  For
the three months ended June 30, 1998,  net cash used in investing  activities of
$2,900 resulted primarily from the purchase of equipment.


<PAGE>


The Company had bank  borrowings of $12,000 and repayment of bank  borrowings of
$2,600 from  financing  activities for the three months ended June 30, 1999. For
the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had bank borrowings of $62,000
and repayment of bank borrowings of $62,000.

The Company's material  commitments for capital  expenditures in the next twelve
months may be in conjunction with undeveloped land in Colorado Springs, Colorado
related  to (1) the  Phase  III  development  of  approximately  9 acres  in The
Crossings at Palmer Park Center, (2) a proposed 350 unit apartment complex on 18
acres  and  (3)  the  initial   development  of  several  retail  pad  sites  on
approximately 5 acres of a 17 acre parcel.

When the Company  develops  Phase III in The Crossing at Palmer Park Center,  it
will incur development costs for utilities,  storm sewer,  paving and additional
drainage  channel  improvements.  The Company will not commence this development
until it has closed on a Phase III lot sale to fund the  estimated  on-site  and
off-site development costs of approximately $250,000.

In connection with the proposed apartment complex,  the Company may have to loan
Creekside  Apartments,  LLLP,  under terms of the partnership  agreement,  up to
$85,000 for costs  associated  with the rezoning  process and other  partnership
matters. The Company anticipates that the loan advances,  if any, will be funded
from either  working  capital or cash  proceeds  that may be available  from lot
sales.

The Company is negotiating  with two  prospective  retail pad site purchasers on
the  undeveloped  17 acre  parcel.  The  Company  will  not  commence  any  site
development  of  approximately  5 acres  until it has closed on at least one lot
sale to fund the off-site and on-site improvements  (grading,  utilities,  storm
sewer and paving) of approximately $250,000.

The Company  believes that existing  working  capital will be sufficient to fund
the Company's  operations,  exclusive of real estate  development  expenditures,
during the next twelve  months.  Real estate  development  expenditures  will be
funded by proceeds from retail lot sales.

Year 2000 Issue

In general,  the Year 2000 issue  relates to computers  and other  systems being
unable to  distinguish  between  the years  1900 and 2000  because  they use two
digits,  rather than four,  to define the  applicable  year.  This may result in
system  failures  or  miscalculations  leading  to  disruptions  in a  company's
operations.

The  Company  is  continuing  the  review of its  computer  system to assess the
potential costs and scope of the Year 2000 issue. The Company utilizes a minimal
number of computer software programs (primarily accounts payable, general ledger
and  payroll) in its  operations.  The Company is  utilizing  both  internal and



<PAGE>


external  resources  to replace its  current  software  for Year 2000  compliant
software.  The  Company's  goal is to complete  all relevant  internal  software
remediation  and testing by October 1999. The total cost to the Company of these
Year 2000 issue activities has not been and is not anticipated to be material to
its financial  position or results of operations.  Any hardware  and/or software
purchased will be capitalized  and depreciated in accordance with normal Company
policy.  Personnel and all other costs related to the project are being expensed
as incurred.

In addition to the Year 2000  compliance  issues we face with respect to our own
system,  we face risks that our vendors' and customers'  systems,  which are not
directly under our control,  may not become  compliant prior to January 1, 2000.
In addition,  if certain public  infrastructure  interruptions  in areas such as
utilities (electricity,  water or telephone),  banking or government,  result in
disruption of our service,  our operations could be impacted for the duration of
the  disruption.  No  assurance  can be  given  that  the  Company  will  not be
materially  adversely affected by the failure of third parties to timely address
their Year 2000 issues.

A  contingency  plan  has not yet  been  developed  for  dealing  with  the most
reasonably  likely worst case scenario with respect to our Year 2000 compliance,
and such scenario has not yet been clearly identified. It is impossible to fully
assess  the  potential  consequences  in the event  service  interruptions  from
suppliers  occur or in the event there are  disruptions  in such  infrastructure
areas as utilities, communications, banking and government.

The  foregoing  discussion  of the  Company's  Year 2000  issues  is based  upon
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing various assumptions of
future  events,  including,  but not  limited  to, the ability of the Company to
identify and correct all relevant computer code and the success of third parties
with whom the Company does business in addressing their Year 2000 issues.
