Item 5.   Other Events


     On October 17, 1996, Registrant consummated a $25 million
revolving credit facility with CS First Boston Mortgage Capital
Corp.  The material terms of the transaction are as follows:

Lender:        CS First Boston Mortgage Capital Corp.

Borrower:      Registrant.  In addition, certain subsidiaries of
               Registrant became direct borrowers and all but two
               others jointly and severally guaranteed the loan. 

Loan Type:     The loan is a revolving facility (i.e. funds can
               be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again).  However,
               during the second extension period no new
               borrowings may be made.

Amount:        Up to $25 million.  Registrant has the right to
               lower the commitment amount to $15 million to
               reduce the standby fees.  The Lender has the right
               to lower the commitment to $20 million under
               limited circumstances. As of the date hereof, no
               advances have been made under the credit facility.

Use of
   Proceeds:   There are no specific restrictions on the use of
               proceeds.

Maturity:      The loan matures October 17, 1998.  Registrant may
               extend the loan for 2 additional 6 month periods
               by providing no less than 30 days advance notice. 
               In addition, a .25% extension fee is due with each
               extension.  For the first extension, the extension
               fee is calculated on the commitment amount.  For
               the second extension, it is calculated on the loan
               balance at the time of the notice or the actual
               extension, whichever is higher.

Rate:          The lower of LIBOR + 3% or Prime + 1%, adjusted
               monthly.

Fees:          There is an "unused fee" as follows:

                    - If the loan balance is equal to or less
                    than $13,999,999, the unused fee is .5% of
                    the difference between the daily loan balance
                    and the commitment amount (up to $15 million)
                    plus $2,084 per month, or

                    - If the loan balance is $14,000,000 or more,
                    or if the loan commitment has been reduced to
                    $15 million, then .5% of the difference
                    between the daily loan balance and the
                    commitment amount.

               In addition, there was a 1% ($250,000) commitment
               fee paid in connection with the loan.  Registrant
               also paid the Lender's advisor a fee of $12,500. 

Collateral:    There is a requirement that the loan amount never
               exceed 75% of the collateral amount.  Collateral
               may be released, at any time, so long as the
               aggregate collateral does not fall below the
               required level and if it falls below the required
               level then Registrant can provide substitute
               collateral or prepay the loan.  If a pledged loan
               goes into default or the Lender determines, in
               accordance with the loan documents, that
               collateral is no longer acceptable, then
               Registrant must either provide additional or
               substitute collateral or prepay the loan if there
               would be a collateral deficit.  Registrant is
               permitted to freely make substitutions of the
               collateral.  The lender's consent is not needed
               for the first $3 million of substitutions.  Over
               $3 million, the Lender's consent is needed but may
               not be unreasonably withheld.  If Registrant
               substitutes more than $10 million of collateral,
               then the Lender is entitled to retain advisors (at
               Registrant's cost) to review the proposed new
               collateral.

Net Worth:     On a consolidated basis, Registrant's net worth
               (less certain intangible items like goodwill) must
               be at least $50 million.  In addition,
               Registrant's net worth minus the net worth of any  
               subsidiary that does not guaranty the loan must
               exceed $40 million.  If the adjusted net worth
               figure is between $40 million and $50 million,
               then in making the overall net worth calculation
               (i.e. the $50 million test), then subject to
               certain exceptions the net worth of any
               non-guaranteeing subsidiary over $5 million will
               not be counted. A subsidiary is defined as any
               entity in which Registrant or its subsidiaries own
               50% or more of.

Certain.  
  Trans-
  actions:     Certain corporate type transactions (such as a
               merger, liquidation or acquisition or certain
               distributions, dividends, share repurchases, share
               acquisitions or certain other capital investments)
               require the Lender be given at least 3 business
               days' prior notice along with a certification by
               the chief financial officer of the Registrant that
               the contemplated transaction will not cause a
               default.  Registrant or any subsidiary is
               permitted to obtain new non-recourse mortgage
               financing in the future (except on properties that
               are then pledged to the Lender) but recourse
               financing is prohibited.  Transactions with
               affiliates generally require the consent of the
               Lender.
