                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           September 30, 1996 and 1995

                                   (UNAUDITED)


     1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in
          the preparation of these unaudited interim financial statements
          are consistent with the accounting policies followed in the
          audited annual financial statements.  In the opinion of
          management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
          accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
          included.

          Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the
          annual audited financial statements have been omitted.  For
          additional information, reference is made to the financial
          statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
          Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1995.

          The net income (loss) applicable to common stock from continuing
          operations and from discontinued operations for the nine month
          and three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were
          divided by the number of shares outstanding during the periods to
          determine per share data.

     2.   INCOME TAXES

          The Company anticipates it will generate Federal taxable income
          for the year ended December 31, 1996.  As a result however of the
          existence of net operating loss carryforwards, it expects that no
          Federal income taxes will be payable for such year.  In addition,
          for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Company generated a net
          Federal income tax loss.  Accordingly, no Federal income tax
          provisions (credits) for the nine month and three month periods
          ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 were reported.

     3.   STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

          There were no interest payments from continuing operations during
          the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

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

     (1)  Material Changes in Financial Condition
     ---  ---------------------------------------
               The Company anticipates that its current cash balance will
     be sufficient to fund its requirements for the foreseeable future.

               At September 30, 1996 the Company had no material
     commitments for capital expenditures.

               In August 1996, the Company completed the sale of its 90.9
     acre Dade County, Florida property for $2,159,000, realizing a gain on
     the transaction of $1,009,000.


     (2)  Material Changes in Results of Operations
     ---  -----------------------------------------

               Total real estate revenues for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1996 were $2,212,000 versus $61,000 for the comparable
     period in 1995.  Revenues for 1996 include the aforementioned sale of
     real estate of $2,159,000.

               Property carrying costs for the first nine months of 1996
     were $113,000 or 50% lower than the amount incurred for 1995.  The
     decrease is due to the agreement with Belz Enterprises, wherein
     certain expenditures of the related property are paid by the Company,
     but are charged to the Partnership (referred to in Part II, Item 5
     below).  During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 there were
     $139,000 of such expenditures charged to the Partnership.
