Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires
the Company's directors and executive officers and persons who own
more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity
securities, to file with the Commission initial reports of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and
other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and
greater than ten percent shareholders are required by Commission
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file.
To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the
copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written
representations that no other reports were required during the two
fiscal years ended December 31, 1995, all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than
ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
The Company has employment contracts with Messrs. Zbar and
LoSchiavo pursuant to which they are paid current annual salaries
at the rate per annum of $250,000 and $150,000, respectively. The
employment contracts with Messrs. Zbar and LoSchiavo provide for
certain payments if the employment term is terminated without cause
or is not renewed at the end of the term in amounts equal to six
(6) months salary. The employment contracts with Messrs. Zbar and
LoSchiavo expire on October 31, 1996 and December 31, 1996,
respectively. In addition, the Board of Directors has authorized
the Company to make certain termination payments to Mr. Casnoff
upon a change of control in the Company in an amount equal to six
(6) months salary over a period of three (3) months.
Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company
presently receive a directors fee of $1,500 per month plus $500 for
each Audit Committee meeting of the Board of Directors attended.
Directors who are officers or employees of the Company receive no
compensation for their services as directors or attendance at any
Board of Directors Committee meeting.
INDEBTEDNESS OF MANAGEMENT
No officers, directors or stockholders of the Company have
obtained loans and loan commitments in excess of $60,000.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On November 15, 1990, the Board adopted the Company's 1990
Performance Unit Plan (the "Plan") for the purpose of providing
long-term incentives to Company employees who are largely
responsible for the management, growth and protection of the
Company's business.
The Plan authorized the grant of performance units, considered
to be stock appreciation rights, only to directors and officers,
who are also employees of the Company or any subsidiary thereof,
who are in a position to make substantial contributions to the
management, growth and success of the business of the Company or
any subsidiary thereof, as determined by the Board, or a committee
thereof, as the case may be.
5
In March 1996, as a condition to a proposed loan transaction,
current and former employees who received performance units agreed
to exchange them for grants of options to purchase a number of
shares equal to the amount of outstanding performance units owned
by each individual under a proposed Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
requiring stockholder approval. In the event the proposed Non-Qualified Stock
Option Plan is not approved by stockholders, the
performance unit grants will not be effected.
The number of performance units reserved for issuance under
the Plan, as amended, is 900,000, 673,131 of which were outstanding
as of April 30, 1996.
Under the Plan, the holder of performance units is entitled to
receive upon exercise of such units an amount equal to the Fair
Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of a performance unit at the
time of exercise plus all dividends declared with respect to a
single share of the Company's Common Stock from the date of
exercise minus the Fair Market Value of a performance unit at the
time of grant, multiplied by the total number of performance units
being exercised by the holder.
Under the Plan, the Fair Market Value of a performance unit
means an amount equal to the fair market value of a share of Common
Stock as determined by the Board of Directors, or a committee
thereof, either (a) by determining the average of the closing
prices for the Company's Common Stock for the twenty most recent
trading days (or for such other period as may be agreed upon
between the Company and the holder) on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE") or such other national securities exchange (including the
NASDAQ system) on which the Company's Common Stock may then be
publicly traded or (b) in the event no such market exists, pursuant
to such other reasonable method as may be adopted by the Board of
Directors or the committee, as the case may be, in good faith for
such purpose.
The following tables set forth certain information with
respect to performance units granted under the Plan to, and
performance units exercised by (i) the executive officers of the
Company listed in the Cash Compensation Table and (ii) all current
executive officers of the Company as a group, during fiscal 1995.
All performance units granted are vested and fully exercisable.

REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company is comprised of the independent directors, Messrs. Golden,
Rosenberg and Smithline. The purpose of the Compensation Committee
is to review compensation of the executive officers of the Company
to determinate if such compensation is in line with similar
organizations and to recommend and provide appropriate incentives
to key employees.
During 1995, in connection with the Company's efforts to
reduce overhead and expenses the Company did not replace certain
executive officer level positions which were vacated during 1995.
Instead, the responsibilities of those positions were merged into
the duties of the remaining executive officers without an increase
in compensation.
This report was furnished by Messrs. Golden, Rosenberg and
Smithline, all members of the Compensation Committee.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
- - --------------------------------------------------------
P&A Associates, a Pennsylvania general partnership of which
Mr. Casnoff, President and director of the Company, is a partner,
provided management services for certain properties located in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which are owned by partnerships
affiliated with the Company. During 1995 these properties were
transferred to unrelated parties and no management fees were paid
to P&A Associates. Further, since February 1992 the Company and
related entities have used a partner of Mr. Casnoff in P&A
Associates to perform legal services for the Company and affiliates
in connection with certain real estate transactions. Mr. Casnoff's
partner earned $2,775 in legal fees from the Company and affiliates
in 1995.
Certain officers and directors of the Company serve as
officers and directors of Kenbee, which was the Company's largest
debtor and previous manager, and control over which has been given
to Mr. Casnoff by virtue of certain voting trust agreements. Mr.
Casnoff, President of the Company and Kenbee, acquired sole voting
power over the shares of capital stock of R&M Holding, a Delaware
corporation and the sole stockholder of Kenbee, pursuant to the
terms of a Voting Trust Agreement, dated May 15, 1991, between R&M
Holding and Mr. Casnoff, as trustee. The shares subject to the
Agreement are owned by Roger D. Stern and Martin Wright, each a 50%
owner of the shares of capital stock of R&M Holding, and each a
former officer and director of the Company. The term of the
Agreement expires on January 1, 2000 as to 50% of the shares of
capital stock owned by Mr. Stern and on February 28, 2001 as to 50%
of the shares of capital stock owned by Mr. Wright.
Rosenthal & Rosenthal Inc., a commercial finance concern of
which Mr. Rosenberg, director of the Company, is Executive Vice
President, made a loan to the Company in 1990 in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,331,700, secured by the assignment of a
certain promissory note and mortgage executed in favor of the
Company. Regular payments of principal and interest on this loan
were made through September 1990. In 1992 the Company completed a
settlement in which this loan was exchanged for the assignment to
Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. of a wraparound mortgage, certain
limited partnership units and options to acquire 600,000 shares of
the Company's common stock for $1.00 per share. Rosenthal &
Rosenthal, Inc. was also provided with a note with a face value of
$107,000 bearing interest at 10% per annum and 214,000 warrants to
purchase common stock for $1.00 per share which warrants would have
expired in April 1998. Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc. had an option
to return either the wraparound mortgage or the notes and warrants
within five years of the settlement. In February 1996, the
settlement agreement with Rosenthal & Rosenthal was amended
whereby the Company agreed to issue to Rosenthal & Rosenthal
warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock
at $.50 per share in consideration of Rosenthal & Rosenthal's
surrender of all options to purchase common stock of the Company
for $1.00 and of the return of $107,000 of Company debentures
accompanied by 214,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common
10
stock at $1.00 per share. Rosenthal & Rosenthal's interests in the
promissory note and mortgage and in certain partnership units were
not effected by this amendment.
Since June 1992, the Company and affiliates have periodically
retained Fox, Rothschild, O'Brien & Frankel to perform certain
legal services in connection with various matters. Mr. Casnoff,
director and President, serves as Of Counsel to Fox, Rothschild,
O'Brien & Frankel. During 1995, the Company and affiliates
incurred $774 of fees for legal services rendered by this law firm.
