                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             June 30, 1997 and 1996

                                   (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,
    1996.

    The net loss applicable to common stock for the six month and three month
    periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 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 a Federal taxable loss for the year
    ended December 31, 1997, and therefore it expects that no federal income
    taxes will be payable for such year. For the full year 1996, available net
    operating loss carry-forwards were in excess of Federal taxable income.
    Accordingly, for the six month and three month periods ended June 30, 1996,
    the Federal income tax provision has been eliminated through the utilization
    of such loss carry-forwards.



                                     6

3.  STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

    There were no interest payments during the six months ended June 30, 1997
    and 1996.

    There were no income tax payments during the six month ended June 30, 1997
    and 1996.

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 June 30, 1997 the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures.

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

        Total real estate revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
$32,000 versus $35,000 for the comparable period in 1996, which included $3,000
of interest income from mortgage loans, which were subsequently collected in the
fourth quarter 1996.

        There were no property carrying costs incurred in 1997 versus $109,000
for the first six months of 1996. Such decrease results from the Partnership
Agreement with Belz Enterprises, wherein certain expenditures of the related
property are paid by the Company, but are charged to the Partnership. During the
six months ended June 30, 1997 there were $132,000 of such expenditures charged
to the Partnership.

        General and administrative expenses decreased by $22,000 or 9.5% from
amounts reported in the first six months of 1996. The decrease was primarily in
professional costs.

        Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $125,000
versus $74,000 for the comparable period in 1996. The increase relates to a
higher level of cash equivalents resulting from the sale in August 1996 of
certain real estate property.
