ITEM 2.           Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On June 2, 1998,  the  Registrant  originated a $36 million first  mortgage
acquisition  and  improvements  loan  (the  "Loan")  to  Coolidge-South  Markets
Equities, L.P. (the "Borrower"). The Loan is secured by a portfolio of community
shopping center properties and other retail properties  located in south Florida
(the  "Portfolio"),  and a pledge of the equity  interests in the  Borrower.  In
addition,  there is a limited  debt service  guarantee  from  principals  of the
Borrower.  The Registrant funded $32.3 million of the loan obligation at closing
and retains an unfunded  loan  obligation  of $3.7 million to fund  reserves for
tenant improvements, leasing commissions and base building capital expenditures.

     Proceeds of the Loan,  in  conjunction  with equity  funds  contributed  by
principals of the Borrower,  were used primarily to acquire the Portfolio and to
establish  reserves  required under the loan documents.  The Portfolio  includes
thirteen (13) community  shopping center and other retail properties  containing
approximately 400,000 square feet of rentable space.

     The Loan was  funded  with  existing  cash on hand.  The Loan has a term of
three years and bears  interest at a specified  rate over LIBOR.  Prepayment  is
permitted at any time subject to a prepayment  penalty during the first eighteen
(18) months of the Loan and with no prepayment penalty during the final eighteen
(18)  months of the  Loan.  In  addition,  the  Borrower  is  required  to pay a
specified fee to the Registrant upon partial or full satisfaction of the Loan.
