1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
     prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information
     and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
     condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
     Registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
     information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed
     consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual
     report on Form 10-K. This condensed financial information reflects, in the
     opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
     results for the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

5.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

     In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS No.
     128), which requires presentation in the Consolidated Statement of Income
     of both basic and diluted earnings per share. Earnings per share amounts
     have been presented, and where appropriate, restated to conform to the SFAS
     No. 128 requirements.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net income for the quarter ended March 31 was $53,000 in 1999 as compared
to $780,000 in 1998.

     Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended March 31 increased from
$4,053,000 in 1998 to $4,263,000 in 1999. Oil and gas revenues decreased by
$117,000 due to declines in the price of crude oil. Real estate revenues
increased from $2,727,000 in 1998 to $3,054,000 in 1999. This increase is due to
higher rents and the operations of the properties acquired in 1998.

     Total costs and expenses for the quarter ended March 31 were comparable,
amounting to 3,410,000 in 1999 compared with $3,450,000 in 1998. Oil and gas
production expense decreased by $62,000, real estate operating expenses
increased by $106,000, depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased by
$50,000, and general and administrative expenses decreased by $34,000. The
increase in real estate operating expenses is attributable to the properties
acquired in 1998.

     The Company realized approximately 1.5 million less in securities gains in
1999 than in 1998. The Company realized gains on sales of marketable securities
of $34,000 in 1999 as compared with $1,495,000 in 1998.

     Interest expense decreased from $1,036,000 in 1998 to $988,000 in 1999.
This decrease is attributable to a lower cost of funds on the Company's
first-mortgage indebtness as a result of the Company's refinancing with Criimi
Mae/Citicorp Real Estate.

     The provision for income taxes includes Federal, state and Canadian taxes.
Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rates
are principally due to foreign resource tax credits in Canada and the dividend
exclusion in the United States.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1998 the Company had approximately $5.2 million in marketable
securities at market value. The current ratio at March 31, 1999 was 1.54 to 1,
which management considers adequate for the Company's current business. The
Company's working capital was approximately $4.7 million at March 31, 1999.

     The Company anticipates that cash provided by operating activities and
investing activities will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements to
acquire oil and gas properties and to drill and evaluate these and other oil and
gas properties presently held by the Company. The level of oil and gas capital
expenditures will vary in future periods depending on market conditions,
including the price of oil and the demand for natural gas, and other related
factors. As the Company has no material long-term commitments with respect to
its oil and gas capital expenditure plans, the Company has a significant degree
of flexibility to adjust the level of its expenditures as circumstances warrant.

     The Company plans to actively continue its exploration and production
activities as well as search for the acquisition of oil and gas producing
properties and of companies with desirable oil and gas producing properties.
There can be no assurance that the Company will in fact locate any such
acquisitions.

     The Company also will explore real estate acquisitions as they arise. The
timing of any such acquisition will depend on, among other things, economic
conditions and the favorable evaluation of specific opportunities presented to
the Company. The Company is currently planning further acquisitions of
investment properties during the next year. Accordingly, while the Company
anticipates that it will actively explore these and other real estate
acquisition opportunities, no assurance can be given that any such acquisition
will occur.

     Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $1,996,000 in 1999
and ($1,572,000) in 1998. The increase in 1999 was primarily due to changes in
operating assets and liabilities.

     Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $1,125,000 in 1999
and $1,677,000 in 1998. The variations principally relate to purchases of real
estate properties and transactions in securities. Purchases of real estate
properties amounted to $1,300,000 in 1998. There were no such purchases in 1999.
Proceeds from sales and redemptions of securities amounted to $124,000 in 1999
and $4,070,000 in 1998.


                                        7

<PAGE>



     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1,017,000 in 1999
and ($600,000) in 1998. The variation principally relates to the issuance of
long-term debt in connection with the purchases of real estate properties during
the respective quarters as well as principal payments of long-term debt. In
addition, the Company acquired approximately $1 million of treasury stock in
1999.

     The Company believes it has adequate capital resources to fund operations
for the foreseeable future.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     Many businesses and government organizations use computers and other
electronic equipment that read and process dates. This equipment falls into two
categories-information technology ("IT"), such as ordinary computers and
"non-IT" equipment, such as process controllers and devices with embedded
microprocessors. Some IT and non-IT equipment currently in use cannot accurately
read and process certain dates, including several dates in the year 1999 and/or
all dates in the Year 2000 and afterwards (collectively, "Year 2000 Problem").

     The Company has implemented a formal Year 2000 program (the "Year 2000
Program") to address its Year 2000 Problem and to investigate the Year 2000
Problem of third parties significant to the Company's business. The Company's
Year 2000 Program has three general components: (i) addressing Year 2000
Problems in the Company's IT and non-IT equipment; (ii) investigating the Year
2000 Problems of such significant third parties; and (iii) contingency planning.

     The Company has evaluated its current systems with respect to oil and gas
operations and management feels that it is Year 2000 compliant. With respect to
real estate, management is in the process of evaluating its systems and also
believes the current systems are Year 2000 compliant. With respect to its non-IT
equipment, the Company and its consultants are presently inventorying,
evaluating, remediating and testing this equipment. The Company expects to
complete its Year 2000 Program for IT and non-IT equipment by mid-1999.

     The Company is also requesting information on the Year 2000 Problems of
third parties significant to the Company's business, including banks, major
suppliers and customers. The Company has received and is evaluating the
responses from many of these entities and is in the process of requesting more
information as appropriate. Based on these responses, the Company's obligations
to its customers, and the information gathered from its Year 2000 Program, the
Company is developing contingency plans to minimize the impact of Year 2000
Problems on its business should any such problems occur. The Company expects to
substantially complete its investigation of the Year 2000 Problems of its major
suppliers, third party service providers and customers and form contingency
plans by mid-1999, but also expects that these activities will continue through
1999 as more information becomes available to the Company. The Company has
incurred costs of approximately $27,000 in connection with evaluating Year 2000
compliance of its IT Systems.


                                        8

<PAGE>



     The Company does not believe that the costs of its Year 2000 Program will
be material to its financial condition or results of operations. Costs incurred
in connection with evaluating Year 2000 compliance of its non-IT systems have
not been material to date. The Company does not believe that future costs, if
any, of addressing the Year 2000 Problems of its non-IT systems will have a
material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. The Company
also intends to continue to use its personnel in evaluating the Year 2000
Problems of those third parties who the Company believes are significant to the
Company's business, including its suppliers, third party service providers and
customers, and to formulate contingency plans. The Company expects that the
source of any funds that may be necessary to pay the costs of addressing its
Year 2000 Problems will be provided from cash balances or cash generated from
operations. The Company intends to charge such costs against earnings as the
costs are incurred.

     Management believes that it has taken reasonable steps to address its Year
2000 Problems and to evaluate the Year 2000 compliance status of key third
parties with whom the Company does business. Notwithstanding these actions,
however, the Company cannot ensure that all of its Year 2000 Problems or those
of its key suppliers, service providers or customers will be resolved or
addressed satisfactorily before the Year 2000 commences. Management believes
that the "most reasonably likely worst case scenario" could involve the failure
of such third parties to address their Year 2000 Problems. If the Company's key
suppliers, service providers, customers and other third parties fail to address
their Year 2000 Problems, and there are no alternates available to the Company,
then the Company's usual channels of supply and distribution would be disrupted,
in which event the Company could experience a material adverse impact on its
business, results of operations or financial condition.

FOWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements included herein other than
