                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                  June 30,1996


BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

Federal Income Taxes

The Corporation has qualified and has elected to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Accordingly, no provisions have been made for Federal income taxes in the
financial statements.

Foreclosed Property

The foreclosed property is a leasehold interest in the Canyon Resort property
which was acquired by foreclosure in September 1988. Title to the fee simple
estate of the property, consisting of approximately 500 acres, is vested as
restricted Indian land through the United States Department of Indian Affairs.
The master ground lease expires in the year 2031. The Corporation's leasehold
interest in the property consists of a 173 room hotel and convention center
which has been closed since June,1987; an operating 18 hole public golf course;
and subleases on approximately 550 homesites and a private golf course and
country club. The subleases have annual rentals, including fixed and percentage
payments, which currently are approximately $900,000. Due to the Corporation's
status as a trustee resulting from the foreclosure sale, the Corporation is not
currently paying ground rent under the Indian master lease.


PLAN OF DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND LIQUIDATION

On June 28, 1988 the Stock holders of the Corporation approved a Plan of
Disposition of Assets and Liquidation whereby all the remaining investments held

Item 2:     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

a)          Liquidity and Capital Resources

            At June 30, 1996 the Corporation had $ 3,454,000 of cash and
            short-term investments.

            On March 27, 1996 the Corporation received net cash proceeds of
            $12,276,000 on the sale of its restructured first mortgage loan
            on the JFK Airport Hilton. The sale resulted in a loss of
            $2,224,000 which was charged to the investment loss reserve in
            the first quarter. On June 18, 1996 the Corporation distributed
            to stockholders $ 13,049,000
            ($ 2 dollars per share) as a liquidating distribution.

            The Corporation's sole remaining real estate investment is a
            leasehold interest in the Canyon Resort in Palm Springs, California.
            In December 1989, the Corporation entered into a purchase and sale
            agreement to sell its leasehold interest in the property to a
            potential buyer who planned a major development project on and
            around the hotel and golf course sites. The Corporation has executed
            extension agreements to the purchase and sale agreement, the most
            recent of which was signed in November, 1994, extending the
            agreement through June, 1995. Although these negotiations continue,
            the Corporation has no evidence of the potential buyer's financing,
            and there can be no assurance that a closing will ultimately take
            place. If the potential buyer fails to obtain financing, the
            Corporation intends to continue to offer the property for sale to
            others. The price that the Corporation can attain from a sale of the
            leasehold interest will be dependent upon a number of factors,
            including the ability of the property to be exposed to the open
            market for a reasonable period of time. Although there can be no
            assurance as to the ultimate sales price that can be achieved, the
            Corporation currently believes the carrying value of the Canyon
            Resort can be recovered in a sales transaction.

            The activites at the foreclosed property in Palm Springs on the
            basis of cash receipts and disbursements is as follows:

           Principal amortization on the property's mortgage loan is paid
           directly by the Corporation and therefore not reflected in the
           property's cash receipts and disbursements.

           Because the golf course is profitable only during the winter months,
           and the land rents are due principally in February the results for
           the first six months of the year are not representative of the
           anticipated results for the full year. The 1995 full year results
           were an excess of cash receipts over disbursements of approximately
           $230,000.

b)         Results of Operations

           Results for the second quarter of 1996 produced a loss of $
           56,000, compared to earnings of $168,000 in 1995. Results for
           the first half of 1996 were earnings of $ 106,000 compared to
           earnings of $293,000 for the first half of 1995. The substantial
           decline in 1996 earnings is due to the sale of the JFK Airport
           Hilton mortgage loan which was sold on March 27,1996.

           Interest income relates to earnings on short-term investments
           and the JFK Airport Hilton mortgage loan.

           Total expenses decreased 27% in the first half of 1996 compared
           to 1995. There was a $60,000 reduction in the base advisory fee
           due to a modification of the advisory agreement in November 1995.
           Also, deferred compensation was $47,000 lower in 1996 compared
           to 1995, due to a 1995 increase in the Corporation's common
           stock price which caused an upward adjustment in the cost of the
           stock portion of the directors' deferred compensation plan.
           Legal expenses have declined $40,000 due to the disposistion of
           the JFK Airport Hilton mortgage.
