     During the second quarter, the Company acquired $215 million directly or

mortgage loans from Southern Pacific Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Imperial
Credit Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICII), and $55 million in performing mortgage
loans from Franchise Mortgage Acceptance Corp. (Nasdaq: FMAX), an affiliate of

million.  The Company also funded an additional $1 million under a previously

Atrium Tower, a 149,000 square foot office building in Las Vegas, Nevada,
Mission Marketplace a 343,000 square foot shopping center in Oceanside,
California and fourteen properties in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico subject to a
"triple-net" lease with Ugly Duckling Corporation.

     The Company borrowed $167 million under its existing lines of credit in
conjunction with these acquisitions and the real property assets were acquired
subject to $35 million of existing first mortgage loans.

     Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company acquired a 108,000
square foot office complex in a suburb of Paris, France and closed a $30 million
loan facility for a residential tower in Miami Beach, Florida.

     The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized the Company to
purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock over an unspecified period
of time.  Purchases made under the share repurchase program would be funded
primarily from cash flow and bank borrowings.
