                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1998


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Business and Organization
           The Company  (formerly  known as InfoTech,  Inc.) was organized under
the laws of the State of Delaware on December 8, 1964. The principal business of
the Company is  specializing  in  structuring  and  marketing  mortgaged  backed
securities as well as, the acquisition of select  commercial real estate for its
own account.

             Use of Estimates
           The preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect the  reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosures  of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses during the period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents
           Cash and cash  equivalents  include cash on hand, cash in banks,  and
any highly  liquid  investments  with a maturity of three  months or less at the
time of purchase.

           The  Company  maintains  cash  and  cash  equivalent  balances  at  a
financial  institution  which  is  insured  by  the  Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation  up to $100,000.  At June 30,  1998,  there is no  concentration  of
credit risk from uninsured bank balances.

         Fixed Assets
           The fixed  assets  are  depreciated  over their  estimated  allowable
useful  lives,  primarily  over  five to  seven  years  utilizing  the  modified
acceleration   cost  recovery  system.   Expenditures  for  major  renewals  and
betterments  that  extend the  useful  lives of fixed  assets  are  capitalized.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.

         Income Taxes
           In February 1992, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued a
Statement  on  Financial  Accounting  Standards  109 of  "Accounting  for Income
Taxes".  Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the estimated  future tax consequences  attributable to differences  between

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

           Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured  using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which those  temporary  differences are expected
to be  recovered  or settled.  Under  Statement  109, the effect on deferred tax
assets and  liabilities  of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

         Earnings/Loss Per Shares
               Primary  earnings  per common  share are computed by dividing the
net income (loss) by the weighted  average  number of shares of common stock and
common stock equivalents  outstanding during the year. The number of shares used
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 were  $3,979,204 and $3,771,148,

Commission to issue 110,000 shares of common stock to Edward Granville-Smith for
compensation for services prior to June 1, 1997. In addition, annual salary is a
sum equal to the lesser of 5% of the Company's annual gross income on a calendar

purposes,  without taking depreciation or tax credits into account to be paid on

availability of cash flow. Edward  Granville-Smith  would also be entitled to an
annual bonus  payable in shares of the  Company's  common  stock,  determined by
dividing 5% of the Company's  pre-tax  profits for the subject  calendar year by
the  average  bid price for the  Company's  common  stock  during  the last five
trading days prior to the end of the last day of each year and the first days of
the new year.

Messers. Gener R. Moffitt and Donald E. Homan, both with offices in Kansas City,
Missouri.  Such  recruitment  was  effected  in two parts,  first,  the  Company

the capital stock in their recently  formed  corporations  (Moffitt  Properties,
Ltd.,  and Homan  Equities,  Inc.,  both  Missouri  corporations),  and then the
Company and the subject  corporation  entered into employment  agreements.  Each
employment agreement was identical and provides for the following compensation.

                             year by the  average  bid price  for the  Company's

underlying  mortgages,  from the following  partnerships:  Pay-West  Associates,

underlying  mortgages bear interest at 9.75%. The difference between payments on
the wrap around  mortgages and underlying  mortgages are applied to debt service
of the demand notes.

interest.

          A.   On  October  20,  1997,  the  various  parties  to a wrap  around
               mortgage  transaction  with the Company  and the  current  tenant
               agreed to settle,  but certain  parties  reserved  claims against
               each other.  The settlement  calls for a payment from the current
               tenant of $150,000 in  exchange  for the  transfer of a clear and
               free title of the  underlying  real estate.  The mortgage  holder
               Fleet  National Bank received  $52,000 and the balance to be held
               in  escrow  between  the other  parties.  The  Company  holds the
               position that the ultimate  disbursement of a substantial portion
               of these  escrowed funds should be earmarked for the reduction of
               the wrap around mortgage and promissory note receivable.

          B.   The Company was also in default of the  mortgage on the  property
               located in  Memphis,  Tennessee  because it could not satisfy the
               balloon payment, in the original amount of $193,580, that was due
               on December 31, 1996. ($174,801 at 12/31/96). The mortgage holder
               (Lutheran  Brotherhood)  had refused to renegotiate or extend the
               term  of  the   mortgage   and  would  not  accept  any   further
               amortization  payments from the lessor of the  underlying  lease,
               other than the one made in December,  1996,  which was based upon
               the old repayment schedule's terms.

               Through August 1997, the Company had received funds from Sun West
               N.O.P., the lessor on the underlying lease, which represented the
               monthly  rent  payments  made on such  lease  ($4,609.38)  by the
               tenant of the Memphis Property.  Becausethe mortgage holder could
               not accept any  amortization  payments on their matured loan from
               Sun West  N.O.P.,  the Company was using such  proceeds to reduce
               the related  wrap  mortgage  receivable.  In August of 1997,  the
               mortgage  holder  foreclosed  on  the  mortgage  payable,   which
               resulted  in  a  foreclosure  sale  of  the  Memphis,   Tennessee
               property. As a result of these events of foreclosure, the Company
               wrote off the  balance on the  mortgage  payable  and the related
               wrap  mortgage   receivable   ($251,722)  and   promissory   note
               receivable ($93,686) at December 31, 1996. (See note 7 and 8).

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

Results of Operations

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the registrant  reported  income
of  approximately  $81,000 as  compared  to income  from all sources of $113,000
during the prior six months ended.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the registrant's cost of revenue
was  approximately  $99,000  as  compared  $232,000  during the prior six months
ended. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in interest expense.

     During the six months ended June 30, 1998,  the  registrant  reported a net
income of approximately  ($18,000) or $(.005) per share,  compared to ($119,000)
or  $(0.032)  per share  prior to six months  ended.  The  $101,000  in net loss
reflects the decrease in cost of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     As of June 30,  1998,  the  registrant  has a working  capital  position of
approximately ($195,000) as compared to a working capital position of ($130,000)
as of June 30, 1997.  This  reflects the write off of the  Tennessee  and Kansas
wrap around mortgages,  notes receivable and underlying mortgages.  To date, the
cash flow generated from operations have been adequate to meet the  registrant's
mortgage obligations.  A shareholder has been contributing funds to meet various
general and administrative  expenses required to fulfill all of the registrant's
obligations.  No  officer  of the  registrant  has been  receiving  or  accruing
compensation at this time.
