ITEM 2.      Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On June 30, 1998,  the  Registrant  originated and funded a $39 million
mezzanine loan (the "Mezzanine  Loan") to the entity that owns an office complex
in Dallas,  Texas (the "Property").  The Property contains 15 low-rise buildings
totaling 1.7 million square feet of Class A office space and a 200-room Marriott
Hotel. The Mezzanine Loan is secured by a second mortgage on the Property.

         Proceeds from the Mezzanine Loan, in conjunction with the proceeds from
a concurrent  senior loan  originated  by an  affiliate  of Credit  Suisse First
Boston, were used primarily to refinance the Property.

         The Mezzanine  Loan was funded with a combination  of existing cash and
funds borrowed under one of the Registrant's  credit  facilities.  The Mezzanine
Loan has a term of nine months.  The  Mezzanine  Loan is prepayable at any time,
subject to a  prepayment  penalty if  prepaid  before  November  25,  1998,  and
thereafter is  prepayable at par without  penalty for the remainder of the term.
The Mezzanine  Loan is  non-amortizing  and bears  interest at a specified  rate
above LIBOR.
