(a)  To reflect the registrant's sale of two office buildings and a shopping
     center and the potential sales of nine additional shopping malls, one
     office building and eight apartment complexes which are under contract to
     be sold. The net proceeds after closing costs, mortgage prepayment fees and
     mortgage prepayments would be $161.3 million. For the purposes of the
     historical balance sheet, the remaining proceeds are used to repay $60.3
     million of Notes payable and $101 million of Bank loans. The sale of the
     two office buildings and a shopping center resulted in gross proceeds of
     $27.2 million which represents 3% of the registrant's December 31, 1998
     total assets.
