                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  March 31,1998

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.

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 master lease.

ADVlSORY AGREEMENT

Americana Group LLC (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.

         At March 31,1998 the Corporation had $ 1,771,000 of cash and short-term
         investments. The Corporation believes it has adequate liquidity
         available for its foreseeable needs from resources on hand. It is
         anticipated that the Corporation will make liquidating distributions of
         cash to stockholders as funds are available.

         On May 14, 1998 the Corporation completed the sale of its last
         investment which was the foreclosed property in Palm Springs, CA. The
         purchaser of the Corporation's leasehold interest in the property is an
         entity owned by the lessors of the master ground lease. The sale price
         of for the property was $8 million, and the net cash proceeds to the
         Corporation, after payment of a related mortgage and expenses will be
         approximately $6.5 million. It is anticipated that the Corporation will
         make a final liquidating distribution of cash to stockholders by the
         third quarter of 1998.

b)       Results of Operations
         Results for the first quarter of 1998 produced net earnings of
         $218,000, compared to net earnings of $159,000 in 1997. Interest income
         in 1998 and 1997 was solely from short-term investments. Administrative
         expenses decreased 35% in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 1997,
         principally due to a reduction in Directors' fees.

         The Corporation's foreclosed property is the leasehold interest in the
         Canyon Resort in Palm Springs, CA. In its status as trustee, the
         Corporation supervises the operations of the property. The results of
         the operations for the first three months of 1998 and 1997 were as
         follows:

         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.
