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. All such adjustments are of a normal
     recurring nature. The results of operations for such interim periods are
     not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

     Net income for the nine months ended September 30 was $440,000 in 1999 as
compared to $2,007,000 in 1998. The 1998 net income included $4,219,000 gain on
the sale of marketable securities.

     Without the $4,219,000 gains on the sale of marketable securities, the net
income would have been a loss of over $2,000,000 in 1998, compared to a gain of
$440,000 in 1999.

     Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30 increased from
$12,433,000 in 1998 to $13,103,000 in 1999. Oil and gas revenues in 1999 and
1998 were substantially the same but oil and gas revenues in the third quarter
of 1999 increased by 11%. Real estate revenues increased from $8,625,000 in 1998
to $9,285,000 in 1999. This increase is due to higher rents and the operations
of the properties acquired in 1998.

     Net cash flow generated from real estate operations went from $1,095,000 in
1998 to $1,640,000 in 1999, an increase of 50%.

     Total costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30 were
reduced from $11,289,000 in 1998 to $10,157,000 in 1999. Oil and gas production
expense decreased by $313,000, real estate operating expenses increased by
$122,000 due to the addition of more properties, depreciation, depletion and
amortization decreased by $873,000, and general and administrative expenses
decreased by $68,000.

     Gain on sales of marketable securities was $43,000 in 1999 as compared with
$4,219,000 in 1998. The Company realized $4 million less in gains in 1999 than
in 1998.

     Interest expense was $2,862,000 in the first nine months of 1999 as
compared with $2,974,000 in 1998. This decrease in interest expense is
attributable to refinancing first-mortgage indebtness at lower interest rates.

     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 September 30, 1999 the Company had approximately $5.4 million in
marketable securities at cost, with a market value of approximately $4.5
million. The current ratio at September 30, 1999 was 1.6 to 1, which management
considers adequate for the Company's current business. The Company's working
capital was approximately $4.5 million at September 30, 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 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.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, the Company acquired two
real estate properties from The Trust Company of New Jersey ("TCNJ") at an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.4 million. These transactions were
financed by first-mortgage loans from TCNJ. The Company did not acquire any new
real estate properties in 1999. The Company will explore other 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 $4,032,000 in 1999
and $(1,227,000) in 1998. The increase in 1999 was primarily due to less gain on
sale of marketable securities.

     Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(2,765,000) in
1999 and $2,711,000 in 1998. The variations principally relate to purchases of
real estate properties and transactions in securities. Purchases of real estate
properties amounted to $-0- in 1999 and $4,400,000 in 1998. Proceeds from sales
and redemptions of securities and other assets amounted to $375,000 in 1999 and
$13,642,000 in 1998. Included in these amounts are redemptions, at par, of
preferred stock of TCNJ, aggregating $2,250,000 in 1998.

     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was ($3,317,000) in
1999 and ($4,189,000) in 1998. The variation principally relates to refinancings
of first-mortgages, the issuance of long-term debt in connection with the
purchases of real estate properties during the respective quarters, and
principal payments of long-term debt.

     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 the 3rd quarter of
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 the 3rd quarter of 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 $30,000 in connection with
evaluating Year 2000 compliance of its IT Systems.

     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.
