3.       On June 18, 1999, the Company entered into a $12,000,000 revolving line
         of credit with FINPRO, L.L.C. (the "Line of Credit"). The Line of
         Credit replaces the $5,200,000 line of credit previously extended by
         First Bank which became due and payable on June 23, 1999. 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 an annual rate of LIBOR plus 3.5%. As of March 31, 2000,
         the Company had outstanding borrowings of $6,891,683 under the Line of
         Credit.

4.       Effective January 1, 2000, Edison Brothers Stores, Inc. reduced their
         lease space from 28,774 square feet to 18,587 square feet. Effective
         April 1, 2000, the lease converts to a month-to-month tenancy, whereby
         Edison may terminate the lease by giving thirty (30) days prior written
         notice of such termination. In no event will this month-to-month
         tenancy extend beyond June 30, 2000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

         During the forthcoming twelve months of operations, the Company 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"). Further, the Company
intends to continue actively marketing the Building for sale during the
forthcoming twelve months as well as to continue to secure additional tenant
leasing agreements.

         On April 6, 2000, the Company terminated Insignia/ESG, Inc. as the
Company's exclusive leasing agent and amended the existing Commercial Property
Management Agreement to reflect such termination. The Company entered into a
new Exclusive Listing Agreement with Colliers Turley Martin Tucker, Inc.
("Colliers") on April 21, 2000, thereby, granting Colliers the exclusive right
to obtain tenants for vacant space in the Building. Colliers shall receive
commissions of up to five percent of gross rents paid by the tenants.

         During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's rental
income increased by 14.6% over the first quarter of the prior year, from
$763,714 during the first quarter of 1999 to $874,891 during the first quarter
of 2000. Such increase was attributed to the commencement of certain new leases,
including a lease with Stifel Nicolaus, which commenced during February 1999.
The Company's total expenses also increased by 10.1% over the first quarter of
the prior year. This increase in expenses is primarily attributed to a $129,726
increase in interest expense during the first quarter of 2000 as compared to the
first quarter of the prior year. Such increase in cost is related to financing
additional tenant improvements and commission costs associated with new tenant
leases. Property taxes accrued during the first quarter of 2000 declined by
23.3% as compared to the prior year as the result of a reassessment of the tax
liability at the end of 1999.

         During June 1999, the Company entered into a $12,000,000 revolving line
of credit with FinPro, L.L.C. to cover any shortfalls in cash flows (the "Line
of Credit"). The balance outstanding under the Line of Credit as of March 31,
2000 was $6,891,683. Such funds were primarily used to finance tenant
improvement and commission payments. Management believes that funds from
operations and the Company's present availability under its revolving line of
credit provide sufficient resources to meet the Company's present and
anticipated financing needs.

one-half upon occupancy by the Manager Contact. Commissions for expansions of
space and/or renewal terms shall be paid in full upon execution of the
appropriate documentation.

                           EXCLUSIVE LISTING AGREEMENT

        THIS EXCLUSIVE LISTING AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of the 21st
day of April, 2000, by and between EBS BUILDING, L.L.C., a Delaware limited
liability company, c/o PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 800 Market Street, Suite
1800, St. Louis, Missouri 63101 ("Owner") and COLLIERS TURLEY MARTIN TUCKER,
INC. , a Missouri corporation, 34 North Meramec, Suite 500, Clayton, Missouri
63105 ("Broker").

                                   WITNESSETH:

        WHEREAS, Owner owns the building presently known as One Financial Plaza,
with an address of 500 North Broadway, in St. Louis, Missouri, appurtenant
related parking facilities (partly owned in fee, partly by leasehold) and
appurtenant common areas (hereinafter, together with the real estate on which
the same are situated, collectively referred to as the "Property"); and

        WHEREAS, Owner desires to engage Broker as Owner's agent to lease the
Property and Broker desires to accept such engagement, upon and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein.

        NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual agreements set
forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Owner and Broker
hereby agree as follows:

1.      EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO LIST

        Owner hereby grants to Broker the exclusive right to obtain tenants for
        vacant space in the Property, including the negotiation of renewals of
        leases, for the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
        contrary herein or elsewhere, all tenants, all terms and conditions of
        all lease proposals and all leases and renewals shall be subject to
        Owner's sole and absolute discretion. Broker shall have no authority to
        extend any offer or make any agreement on behalf of or binding on Owner,
        and Broker shall have no authority to accept security or other deposits
        in connection with lease proposals or leases or renewals; accordingly, a
        lease (or any renewal thereof) shall become effective only when (a)
        signed by an authorized signatory on behalf of Owner and tenant and (b)
        delivered by Owner to such tenant.

2.      TERM

        The term of this Agreement shall end, and this Agreement shall terminate
        and be of no further force and effect, on October 31, 2001; provided,
        however, that (a) Owner and Broker shall each have the right to
        terminate this Agreement and end the term without cause at any time by
        providing thirty (30) day's prior written notice to the other party, (b)
        Owner shall have the further right to terminate this Agreement and end
        the term without cause immediately upon the termination of Owner as a
        limited liability company or termination of the operating agreement
        dated as of September 26, 1997, under which Owner is constituted,




<PAGE>   2




        (c) Owner shall have the further right to terminate this Agreement and
        end the term without cause immediately upon the sale of the Property,
        the sale, merger or consolidation of Owner, or the mortgaging of the
        Property, and (d) Owner and Broker shall each have the right to
        terminate this Agreement and end the term for cause immediately upon
        giving written notice of such cause and such termination to the other
        party.

3.      DUTIES OF BROKER

        Broker accepts the relationship of trust and confidence established
        between Broker and Owner under this Agreement. Broker agrees to take all
        actions reasonably required or helpful in leasing vacant space in the
        Property as promptly as possible, including promotional, marketing and
        lease up activities, using its diligent and best efforts, skill,
        judgment, and abilities to show space available for lease within the
        Property, offer such space for lease, procure tenants for such space,
        cooperate with outside brokers representing such tenants, obtain
        financial and reference information on such tenants, and negotiate term
        sheets and leases of such space with such tenants, in accordance with
        the economics (e.g. full service rates per rentable square foot, minimum
        and maximum lease terms, expense stops or base years, etc.) and other
        terms and conditions as may be directed by Owner from time to time.
        Broker further agrees to take all actions reasonably required to
        effectuate the renewal or extension of any lease during the term of this
        Agreement. Inquiries for any leases, renewals or extensions or other
        agreements for the rental, use or occupancy of the Property shall be
        referred to Broker, and related negotiations shall be handled by or
        under direction of Broker, subject to the approval and review of Owner
        and subject to the participation of legal counsel selected and retained
        by Owner to assist as necessary in preparation and negotiation of leases
        and other documentation, to provide legal advice in connection with
        leasing issues at the Property, and to institute and defend any and all
        legal proceedings associated with leasing at the Property; provided that
        no such legal proceedings or compromises or settlements of such legal
        proceedings shall be undertaken or defended without, in each instance,
        the prior written approval of Owner. Without limiting the generality of
        the foregoing, Broker specifically agrees to (a) provide monthly
        activity reports to Owner on or before the 20th day of each calendar
        month, detailing the status of the leasing progress of the Property, and
        reflecting leases or renewals or extensions out for signature, proposals
        outstanding, prospects shown space within the Property, active
        prospects, the stacking plan for the Property, and other marketing
        activities, and (b) cooperate in the preparation of the Budget and
        revisions to the Budget relating to the ownership and operation of the
        Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere,
        Broker shall perform its duties under this Agreement at its own expense
        and shall be entitled to no reimbursement of costs other than as
        expressly provided in Sections 4, 5 and 6 of this Agreement.

4.      COMMISSION ON LEASE

        Upon the lease of vacant space in the Property pursuant to a written
        lease executed during the term of this Agreement by a tenant procured by
        Broker, Owner agrees to pay to Broker a commission in accordance with
        Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The
        commission shall be due and payable in two equal installments: (a) fifty



                                       2


<PAGE>   3

        percent (50%) upon the last to occur of (i) the execution of the lease
        by all parties, (ii) the deposit with Owner of the security deposit, if
        any, required under the lease, or (iii) the satisfaction or waiver of
        the last of the contingencies, if any, to which the lease may be
        subject, and (b) fifty percent (50%) upon the last to occur of (i) the
        commencement date of the lease, (ii) the date the tenant accepts
        occupancy of the leased premises, or (iii) the first date on which rent
        is actually paid if the rent commencement date shall be later than the
        commencement of the term. If a cooperating broker has participated in
        procuring a lease, Broker shall be responsible for paying any and all
        commissions to the cooperating broker after Broker is paid by Owner, and
        Broker shall indemnify and hold Owner harmless from and against the
        claims of any cooperating broker with claims arising from a cooperating
        broker relationship initiated by or through Broker including, but not
        limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with Owner's
        defense against such claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
        herein or elsewhere, no commission shall be owing to or claimed by
        Broker (a) in the event any tenant of the Property, or any person or
        entity claiming by, through or under any tenant of the Property,
        exercises any option or right to renew or extend the term of a lease
        unless (i) said renewal or extension is of a lease entered into prior to
        the effective date of this Agreement and said renewal or extension
        requires Broker to negotiate and/or calculate the rent due for the
        renewal or extension period and Owner is not obligated to pay any other
        listing broker a commission in connection with the renewal or extension
        of said lease; or (ii) said renewal or extension is of a lease procured
        by Broker and said renewal or extension is exercised during the term of
        this Agreement; or (b) in the event Owner is obligated to pay a
        commission to Insignia/ESG, Inc. in connection with the procurement of
        such lease pursuant to the terms of that certain Commercial Property
        Management and Leasing Agreement dated December 31, 1997, as amended, a
        copy of the First Amendment to which is attached hereto as Exhibit B
        (the "First Amendment to Property Management Agreement").

5.      POST-TERMINATION COMMISSIONS

        Within ten (10) days following the termination of this Agreement, Broker
        may submit to Owner a written list of any person or entity proposed by
        Broker during the term of this Agreement as a tenant of any vacant space
        in the Property, who actually visited the Property during the term of
        this Agreement with the intention of leasing space and whose proposal
        for such lease was approved in writing by Owner during the term of this
        Agreement. Broker's list shall include the names and addresses of such
        prospective tenants, and shall identify the vacant space to be leased,
        the terms of such lease, the date(s) of the visit(s), and the date of
        Owner's approval of the proposal for such lease. Owner may dispute the
        validity of the information on such list. Broker shall have no claim of
        commission (and hereby waives any claim of commission) with respect to
        any person or entity procured or claimed to have been procured by Broker
        who shall lease any space within the Property after the termination of
        this Agreement unless and except to the extent such person or entity
        shall be included on such list so submitted to Owner within ten (10)
        days after termination of this Agreement. If either: (a) within ninety
        (90) days from the date of termination of this Agreement (the "Initial
        Period"), Owner (but not any successor in interest to Owner) enters into
        a lease for vacant space in the Property with any such listed person or
        entity; or (b) within the period commencing on the ninety first (91st)
        day and ending on the one hundred



                                       3


<PAGE>   4


        eightieth (180th) day after the termination of this Agreement, Owner
        (but not any successor in interest to Owner) enters into a lease for
        vacant space in the Property with any such listed person or entity and
        both (i) the principal terms of such lease were previously agreed to in
        writing by Owner and Broker prior to the end of the Initial Period and
        (ii) the terms of such lease substantially conform to the terms agreed
        to by Owner and Broker during the Initial Period, then unless and except
        to the extent Owner shall dispute the inclusion of such person or entity
        on the list so submitted by Broker, Owner shall pay Broker the
        commission in accordance with Exhibit A. The agreements of this Section
        5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.      ADVERTISING AND MARKETING

        Broker shall (a) advertise the Property and available space within the
        Property; (b) prepare a marketing plan, brochures and collateral
        materials for the Property; (c) engage with a competent architectural
        firm approved by Owner to provide computer-aided drawings (CAD) of the
        rentable areas of the Property and space planning services for
        prospective tenants; and (d) engage competent consultants (e.g. public
        relations, advertising, etc.) on an "as needed" basis. The content and
        extent of Broker's advertising and marketing activities and the services
        and consultants engaged by Broker in connection with the same shall be
        subject to the prior approval of Owner. Broker's identification signage,
        if any, within the Property shall be subject to the prior approval of
        Owner, and Broker shall be responsible for assuming that any such
        signage conforms to applicable laws and code and all requirements and
        restrictions of the leases of the Property and any recorded instruments
        encumbering the Property. Upon termination of this Agreement (or sooner,
        if directed by Owner), Broker shall remove its identification signage
        from the Property and fully restore and repair all damage caused by
        installation or removal; and the agreement to do so under this Section 6
        shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Broker shall be
        responsible for the costs of all marketing, advertising and leasing
        activities with respect to the Property, provided, however, that Owner
        shall reimburse Broker for all such costs and expenses for which Broker
        has obtained the prior written approval of Owner, regardless of whether
        said amounts are included in the Budget prepared by Broker pursuant to
        Section 3 hereof, and excepting, however, that Owner shall pay the cost
        of legal counsel selected and retained by Owner in accordance with
        Section 4 of this Agreement.

7.      NONDISCRIMINATION

        The Property shall be offered without regard to race, color, creed,
        religion, national origin, sex, handicap, or familial status.

8.      REPRESENTATIONS

        Owner makes no representations or warranties regarding the Property or
        the condition of the Property including, but not limited to, the
        presence or absence of asbestos, PCB transformers, or toxic, hazardous
        or contaminated substances in, on or about the Property. Broker is not
        authorized to make any representations or warranties relating to the
        Property unless and except to the extent expressly approved in writing
        by Owner.

        Owner shall hold harmless and indemnify Broker against any liability,
        loss or expense incurred by Broker as a result of any misrepresentation
        of Owner or its agents (other than Broker) or the negligence or willful
        misconduct of Owner or its agents (other than Broker). Broker shall hold
        harmless and indemnify Owner against any liability, loss or expense
        incurred by Owner as a result of any misrepresentation of Broker, its
        agents, employees, or the negligence or willful misconduct of Broker,
        its agents, employees, or invitees. The agreements of this Section 9
        shall survive the termination of this Agreement

10.     STANDARDS

        Broker shall further the interests of Owner in accordance with Owner's
        from time to time requirements, procedures and directions, in accordance
        with the highest professional standards. Broker shall comply with all
        national, federal, state, and municipal laws, regulations, codes,
        ordinances, and orders applicable to Broker and the activities of Broker
        under and in connection with this Agreement.

11.     ASSIGNMENT

        damages or other relief, its attorney's fees and costs incurred.

14.     MODIFICATIONS

        This Agreement may not be amended, modified or changed, nor shall any
        waiver of any provisions hereof be effective, except only by an
        instrument in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement
        of any waiver, amendment, change, modification or discharge is sought.

<PAGE>   6


        respective addresses set forth above (or such other addresses as the
        parties may hereafter designate in writing) or sent to the respective
        parties at such addresses by (a) certified or registered United States
        mail, postage prepaid, (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either
        commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted
        delivery, or (c) by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged and so
        long as the original of said telecopy is mailed the next day). A notice
        shall be deemed to have been given: in the case of hand delivery, at the
        time of delivery; or in the case of mail delivery three (3) days after
        having been deposited in the United States mail postage prepaid and
        properly addressed; or in the case of notice sent via overnight delivery
        service or telecopy, upon receipt.

16.     INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR

        It is expressly understood and agreed that Broker, as an agent of Owner,
        will act as an independent contractor in the performance of this
        Agreement. The parties hereby agree that nothing in the Agreement shall
        be intended or construed to create an employer-employee relationship, a
        partnership, or a joint venture with respect to the Property or
        otherwise.

17.     SUBORDINATION

        This Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage or deed
        of trust now or hereafter encumbering the Property or any part thereof,
        and at the option of the beneficiary of any such mortgage or deed of
        trust or any transferee of title to the Property by virtue of
        foreclosure of the lien of such mortgage or deed of trust (such option
        to be exercised by written notice to Broker) or by transfer in lieu of
        foreclosure (i) Broker shall attorn to and recognize such beneficiary or
        transferee as the successor to Owner of the Property, and Broker shall
        thereupon continue to perform Broker's covenants hereunder or (ii) such
        beneficiary or transferee may terminate this Agreement as of the date of
        notice of foreclosure or transfer. Broker hereby agrees that the
        beneficiary of any such mortgage or deed of trust and the transferee of
        title to the Property shall be intended third party beneficiaries of
        this Agreement entitled to enforce these provisions.

18.     LIENS

        Broker agrees to execute and deliver to Owner, as a condition to any
        payment due to Broker from Owner hereunder, waivers of lien pursuant to
        any statute which may grant Broker the right to a lien on the Property
        as may be requested by Owner in connection with such payment. If Broker
        is to pay any cooperating broker out of funds paid to Broker by Owner,
        Broker shall make no such payments without first obtaining similar
        waivers of lien from such cooperating broker, and the delivery of such
        waivers of lien from such cooperating broker shall, if requested by
        Owner, be a further condition to payment due to Broker. Broker further
        agrees that any and all rights which Broker, and anyone claiming by,
        through or under Broker, may have to a lien under any statute shall be
