                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                  June 30,1997


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 June 30, 1997 the Corporation had $1,699,000 of cash and short-term
     investments.

     On April 14, 1997 the Corporation paid down the mortgage loan payable by
     $1,000,000 as a 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 second quarter of 1997 produced a loss of $94,000, compared
     to a loss of $56,000 in 1996. Results for the first half of 1997 were
     earnings of $65,000 compared to earnings of $106,000 for the first half of
     1996.

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

     Expenses decreased 45% in the first half of 1997 compared to 1996. There
     was a $110,000 decrease in the advisory fee due to a September, 1996 change
     in the advisory agreement. Directors' compensation was $19,000 lower in
     1997 compared to 1996, due to a change in Director' 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 June 30, 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 consists 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 six
     months of 1997 were as follows:

            Sublease rentals earned                            $   462,000
            Golf course net receipts from manager                   95,000
            Other income and fees                                   31,000
                                                                ----------
                                                                   588,000

            Mortgage interest expense                               85,000
            Real estate taxes                                       83,000
            Legal, insurance and other expenses                    105,000
                                                                ----------
                                                                   273,000
                                                                ----------

            Net income from foreclosed property                $   315,000
                                                                ==========


     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.
