NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 1998
1. The accompanying unaudited financial statements, in the opinion of
the Manager, include all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These
adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals. The financial
statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form
10-QSB and consequently do not include all the disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles. For further information,
refer to the financial statements and notes thereto for the period
ended December 31, 1997 included in the Company's Registration
Statement on Form 10-SB filed on April 30, 1998.
2. During February 1998 and June 1998, Edison Brothers Stores, Inc.
("Edison") exchanged an additional 280,560 and 128,616 Class B
Membership Units respectively, for an equal number of Class A
Membership Units of the Company and simultaneously distributed such
units to holders of Allowed General Unsecured Claims. All outstanding
Class B Membership Units will eventually be canceled and an
equivalent number of Class A Membership Units issued to the holders
of Allowed General Unsecured Claims as required by the Members
Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization. At June 30, 1998, Edison
held 532,783 Class B Membership Units.
3. The following table sets forth the computation of primary and fully
diluted earnings (loss) per unit for the periods ended:

</TABLE>
The weighted average units outstanding - primary was calculated based
upon the number of Class A Units outstanding on each day during the
period covered. The units outstanding - diluted was calculated
assuming that all of the Class B Units currently issued and
outstanding will eventually be converted into an equal number of
Class A Units.
4. Effective March 16, 1998, the Company entered into a $2,000,000
revolving line of credit with First Bank (the "Line of Credit"). The
Company presently intends to use the Line of Credit for working
capital needs and tenant improvements. Borrowings under the Line of
Credit bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR rate plus
2.25%. There was no commitment fee for this Line of Credit. Payments
due for borrowings on the Line of Credit are for interest only until
maturity (March 15, 1999), when all outstanding principal and
interest is due and payable. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had
outstanding borrowings of $170,000 under the Line of Credit.
5. On June 16, 1998, Edison informed the Company of its intent to
terminate a portion of its lease for 62,784 square feet of rentable
office space, effective March 31, 1999, thereby decreasing the
Building's occupancy rate from 78% to 64%.
<PAGE> 7
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
During the forthcoming twelve months of operations, the Issuer
intends to continue owning, managing, maintaining, repairing, leasing, selling,
hypothecating, mortgaging or otherwise dealing with the building located at 501
North Broadway, St. Louis, Missouri (the "Building").
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Issuer had a net
decrease in cash of $399,340. This decline was caused primarily by commissions
paid to leasing agents and tenant improvement costs incurred related to a tenant
lease entered into on February 16, 1998, as well as various corporate costs
incurred associated with the registration of the Issuer's Class A Membership
Units under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In March 1998, the
Issuer entered into a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit with First Bank to
cover any shortfalls in cash flows. As of June 30, 1998, the Issuer had $170,000
of outstanding borrowings under its line of credit. Management believes that
funds from operations and the Issuer's present availability under its revolving
line of credit provide sufficient resources to meet the Issuer's present and
anticipated financing needs.
Rental income increased 7.3% from the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to
the quarter ended June 30, 1998 due to the commencement of a new tenant lease on
March 1, 1998. Total operating expenses increased 19% during this same period
primarily due to various corporate costs incurred associated with the
registration of the Issuer's Class A Membership Units under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended as well as increased leasing cost and deferred
maintenance costs.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, Edison Brothers Stores, Inc.
("Edison") informed the Issuer, pursuant to their lease, they would terminate a
portion of the lease for 62,784 square feet of rentable office space effective
March 31, 1999. The Issuer intends to actively market such space and attempt to
secure replacement tenant(s) at market rental rates. If the Issuer is
unsuccessful in securing replacement tenant(s), the Building's occupancy rate
would fall from 78% to 64% and the annual average rental rate of all tenants,
including Edison, would become $10.43 per square foot and, excluding Edison,
would become $16.73 per square foot.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
(a) Not Applicable.
(b) Not Applicable.
(c) As of March 31, 1998, Edison owned all of the issued and
outstanding Class B Membership Units of the Issuer ("Class B Units"), which
consisted of 661,399 Class B Units at such time. In accordance with the terms of
the Issuer's Members Agreement and the Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan
of Reorganization") of Edison and its affiliates, on June 1, 1998, 128,616 of
Edison's Class B Units were canceled and
<PAGE> 8
simultaneously 128,616 Class A Membership Units were issued to the holders of
allowed general unsecured claims of Edison pursuant to the Edison bankruptcy. As
a result of such issuance, as of June 30, 1998, Edison owned 532,783 Class B
Units.
The Issuer believes that the above mentioned sales of securities were
exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 1145(a)(1)
of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1145(a)(1) exempts from registration the offer
and sale of securities under a plan of reorganization if three requirements are
met: (i) the securities must be offered or sold under a plan of reorganization
and must be securities of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint
plan with the debtor, or of a successor of the debtor under the plan; (ii) the
recipients of the securities must hold a pre-petition or administrative expense
claim against the debtor or interest in the debtor; and (iii) the securities
must be issued entirely in exchange for the recipient's claim against or
interest in the debtor, or principally in such exchange and partly for cash or
property. The Issuer believes that it is a "successor" to Edison within the
meaning of Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and that it has satisfied
all the other requirements of such section.
(d) Not Applicable.
(e) Not Applicable.
