                   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 September 30, 2000 and results of operations for the interim
     periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. 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. These financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
     statements and related notes included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the
     year ended March 31, 2000.

     Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with
     the current financial statement presentation.

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 and six months ended September 30, 2000 and
     1999 as follows:

     At September 30, 2000, approximately 23 % of the development work for real
estate sale contracts closed had been completed and, accordingly, 23% of the
previously deferred profit was recognized.

3.   Gas Royalty Income

     Gas royalty income is net of amortization of $3,336 for the three months
     ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 and $6,672 for the six months ended
     September 30, 2000 and 1999.

4.   Income Taxes

     The provision for income taxes is based on management's estimate of the
     effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the fiscal year, net of
     the utilization of the net operating loss carryforward which is subject to
     limitations under IRS Section 382. The tax rate may be revised at the end
     of each successive interim period during the fiscal year to reflect
     management's current estimate of the annual effective tax rate.

5.   Subsequent Events

     In October 2000, the Company closed on the sale to JH Foods, Ltd. of a
     retail pad site (.81 acre) in the Creekside Center at Galley in Colorado
     Springs, Colorado for $367,000. $126,000 of the proceeds from this sale
     were added to the Dillon Escrow for the site development costs.

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.

                 Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999

The Company incurred a net loss of $59,214 for the three months ended September
30, 2000 compared to a net loss of $106,830 for the comparable period in 1999.
The Company, in the current quarter, did not have any closings of real estate
sale contracts, although it did recognize 23% of deferred sales and costs.

General and administrative expenses increased $42,000 or 37% for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 and is
attributable to costs related to the sale of water line easements and general
increases in overhead costs and expenses.

Net gas royalty income increased $17,000 in the current quarter compared to the
corresponding quarter in 1999. (The unit operator is experiencing system
problems and was unable to make royalty payments on a timely basis. The Company
had accrued estimates of gas royalty income of $32,900 for August and September
based on prior months' actual income.) Natural gas production for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 was 24,000 mcf compared to 35,000 mcf for the
comparable period in 1999. The average sales price of natural gas increased 86%
($3.56 per mcf compared to $1.91 per mcf) and gas processing costs increased
$2,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period
in 1999.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 decreased $1,000
or 37% compared to the same period in 1999 due to the sale of U.S. Treasury
obligations. Dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2000, was
comparable to the same period in 1999.

Easement income increased $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to the same period for 1999 due to the sale of water line easements.

Rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was comparable to
the same period in 1999.

The net unrealized loss on marketable securities of $107,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 represents the net change from June 30, 2000 in
the market value of the trading securities portfolio.

Equity in limited partnership income of $9,900 for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 represents the Company's share of the net income from
operation.

Minority interest in earnings of consolidated subsidiary of $11,600 for the
three months ended September 30, 2000 represents the limited partner's share of
the net income in Bridger Creek Partnership.

Interest expense decreased $4,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000

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

                                                      Six Months Ended

                       Financing activities          (5,100)      18,800

The Company had negative cash flows from operating activities of $54,600 and
$32,900 for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
decrease in cash flows was due primarily to site development work of real estate
in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $44,700 for the six months ended
September 30, 2000 resulted from proceeds from sales of marketable securities
and collection of notes receivable.

Net cash used by financing activities of $5,100 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 resulted from principal payments on bank borrowings.

The Company's material commitments for capital expenditures in the next twelve
months will 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 Phase I development ("Creekside Center at Galley") of
three 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. The Company has one lot
under contract to AutoZone, Inc. for $440,000, but has not yet closed on the
sale.

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 has closed on the sale of one lot in Creekside Center at Galley and
has two lots under contract, Lot 3 to Waffle House for $350,000 and Lot 4 to JH
Foods, Ltd., for $367,000. The Company has commenced site development of the
Phase I off-site and on-site improvements (grading, utilities, storm sewer, curb
and gutter, and paving) with an approximate cost of $405,000. With the closing
of the first lot sale the Company escrowed $360,000 toward site development
costs. With the closing on the sale to JH Foods, Ltd., the Company will escrow
an additional $126,000 from the proceeds to cover the site development costs.
The Company is aggressively marketing the remaining lot in Phase I and the
undeveloped 12 acre parcel.

The Company entered into an Agreement For Conveyance of Easement with the City
of Colorado Springs, a Home Rule City and Municipal Corporation on behalf of its
enterprise, Colorado Springs Utilities (collectively, the "City") in September
2000. The agreement for the sale of water line easements to the City is a
two-phase agreement due to budget shortages by the City in the current fiscal
year. Phase I, which closed in September, was a sale for $8,332.50. Phase II,
will close no later than January 31, 2001, with a sale price of $117,200.50.

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.
