                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                 March 31, 1997


BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

Federal Income Taxes

The Corporation 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

Property acquired through foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or fair
value at date of acquisition. Provision for subsequent decline in value is
recorded as an increase in the investment loss reserve.

PLAN OF DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND LIQUIDATION

On June 28, 1988 the stockholders of the Corporation approved a Plan of
Disposition of Assets and Liquidation whereby all the remaining investments held
by the Corporation would be sold and the proceeds distributed to stockholders in
complete liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation.


INVESTMENT HELD FOR DISPOSITION

The investment held for disposition is a leasehold interest in the Canyon Resort
in Palm Springs, CA 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, an
apartment complex and a private golf course and country club. 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.


ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Americana Corporation (the "Advisor") advises the Corporation with respect to
its investments and administers the day-to-day operations of the Corporation,
all subject to the general supervision of the Corporation's Board of Directors.

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

a)               Liquidity and Capital Resources

                 At March 31, 1997 the Corporation had $ 2,285,000 of cash and
                 short-term investments. On April 14, 1997 the Corporation paid
                 down the mortgage loan payable by $ 1,000,000 as part of a
                 three year extension of the maturity date to March 1, 2000.

                 The Corporation believes it has adequate liquidity available
                 for its foreseeable needs from resources on hand and cash
                 generated by the investment held for disposition in Palm
                 Springs, CA.

b)               Results of Operations

                 Results for the first quarter of 1997 produced a net loss of  
                 $ 140,000, compared to earnings of $162,000 in 1996.

                 Interest income in 1997 was solely from short-term investments;
                 while in 1996 interest income also included interest related to
                 the mortgage loan on the JFK Airport Hilton which was sold on
                 March 27, 1996.

                 Expenses decreased 43% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
                 1996. There was a $55,000 decrease in the advisory fee due to a
                 September, 1996 change in the advisory agreement. Directors'
                 compensation was $15,000 lower in 1997 compared to 1996, due to
                 a change in Directors' fees.

                 The Corporation's foreclosed property is the leasehold interest
                 in the Canyon Resort in Palm Springs, CA, The Corporation is
                 seeking to dispose of this investment, but as of March 31, 1997
                 has received no acceptable offer. The Corporation acquired the
                 leasehold interest as a trustee resulting from a foreclosure
                 sale in 1988. In its status as trustee, the Corporation has
                 supervised the operations of the property, which connsists of a
                 173 room hotel and convention center which have been closed
                 since 1987, an operating public golf course, and subleases on
                 approximately 550 homesites, an apartment complex and a private
                 golf course and country club.

                 The results of the operations of the foreclosed property for
                 the first three months of 1997 were as follows:

                          Sublease rentals earned                    $231,000
                          Golf course net receipts from manager       203,000
                          Other income and fees                        15,000
                                                                    ----------
                                                                      449,000

                          Mortgage interest expense                    59,000
                          Real estate taxes                            42,000
                          Legal and other expenses                     49,000
                                                                    ----------
                                                                      150,000

                          Net income from foreclosed property        $299,000
                                                                    ==========


                Most of the sublease rentals are fixed rents and those that are
                percentage rents are based upon results which are generally
                predictable, therefore sublease rentals are earned evenly
                throughout the year. The golf course operation is highly
                seasonal, with most of the revenue received during the winter
                months, and the operation running at a deficit during the rest
                of the year.
