Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At March 31, 2000, the Company had a cash and Treasury Bill balance of
$5,950,000, which represents a $256,000 increase from the $5,694,000 balance at
September 30, 1999. This $256,000 increase results entirely from cash flow from
operations which includes the result of net income of $71,000 coupled with
changes in operating assets and liabilities of $222,000 offset by expenditures
for property held for development and sale of $37,000. The Company's working
capital position at March 31, 2000 was $6,572,000 as compared to a September 30,
1999 balance of $6,501,000.

         Management intends to continue in business and has no intention to
liquidate the Company. The Company has considered various business alternatives
including the possible acquisition of an existing business, but to date has
found possible opportunities unsuitable or excessively priced. The Company is
also considering developing a business itself, believing that start up costs may
be preferable to the premiums required to purchase a going concern. The Company
does not contemplate limiting the scope of its search to any particular
industry. Management has considered the risk of possible opportunities as well
as their potential rewards. Management has invested considerable time evaluating
and finally rejecting numerous proposals for possible acquisition or
combination. The Company believes present valuation levels requested for
alternative operating entities are excessive partly due to the expectations of
sellers being raised by generally high stock market valuations. The Company has
decided to focus its present operating activities on the acquisition,
improvement and resale of real property. This decision does not preclude the
possibility of becoming involved in the future with additional businesses in
other areas. The Company presently owns one property in Washington D.C., which
it intends to sell.

         The Company intends to continue its investment and trading activities
and as a consequence the future financial results of the Company may be subject
to substantial fluctuations. Mr. Michael, the President of the Company is a
graduate of Harvard Business School (MBA). As part of the Company's investment
activities the Company may buy and sell a variety of equity, debt or derivative
securities including market index options and future contracts. Such investment
often involves a high degree of risk and must be considered extremely
speculative. Futures Contracts are particularly risky since a relatively small
amount of capital controls a large nominal market value thus greatly
exaggerating the exposure to potential losses. During the three-month period
ended March 31, 2000 the Company achieved a gain on its trading and investment
activities of $585,000 as compared to a gain of $172,000 in the prior year
period.

         The ultimate goal of the Company is to acquire or develop an operating
business. At March 31, 2000 the Company held approximately 70% of its assets in
the form of United States Treasury Bills.



                                                                    Page 7 of 10

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2000


Net income (loss)

         The Company experienced a profit of $362,000 in the current three-month
period versus a profit of $130,000 in the prior year period. Interest income
increased $15,000 to $73,000 primarily due to higher interest rates. Trading
gains in the current quarter were $585,000 compared to a gain of $172,000 in the
prior year period. General and administrative expenses of $296,000 were $196,000
higher than the prior year period of $100,000. The increase of $196,000 was due
primarily to a higher level of compensation paid to President John Michael
related to the increased level of trading profits and increased real estate
expenses.

         During the current and prior year quarter the Company did not record an
income tax benefit because tax losses could not be utilized.


Six Months Ended March 31, 2000


Net income (loss)

         The Company experienced a profit of $71,000 in the current six-month
period versus a profit of $160,000 in the prior year period. Interest income
increased $20,000 to $140,000 primarily due to higher interest rates. Trading
gains in the current six-month period were $300,000 compared to a gain of
$172,000 in the prior year period. General and administrative expenses of
$369,000 were $237,000 higher than the prior year period of $132,000. The
increase of $132,000 was due primarily to a higher level of compensation paid to
President John Michael related to the increased level of trading profits.

         During the current and prior year six-month period the Company did not
record an income tax benefit because tax losses could not be utilized.
