 Note 1:
 -------  The  consolidated financial statements included  herein  have
          been prepared by the Company, without audit,  pursuant to the 
          rules   and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and   Exchange 
          Commission.   The consolidated financial  statements  reflect 
          all  adjustments  which are,  in the opinion  of  management, 
          necessary  to reflect a fair presentation of the results  for 
          the  interim  periods  presented.   Certain  information  and   
          footnote   disclosures   normally   included   in   financial   
          statements  prepared  in accordance with  generally  accepted 
          accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant  
          to such rules and regulations,  although the Company believes   
          that  the  disclosures are adequate to make  the  information   
          presented  not  misleading.    It  is  suggested  that  these   
          consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with   
          the  consolidated financial statements and the notes  thereto   
          included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations  (Page 1 of 2)
                                 January 31, 1996


          FINANCIAL CONDITION
          -------------------

          Subsequent  to January 31,  1996,  the Company  finalized  an
          agreement  with  one  of its lenders for  a  development  and
          construction loan in the aggregate amount of $9.8 million  on
          a project in Colorado.    Portions of the loan mature in 1997
          and 1998,  but  may be extended for up to one year if certain
          provisions are met.


          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

          Total  revenues  increased  approximately 11%  for  the  nine
          months  ended January 31, 1996,   and remained  approximately
          the  same for the third quarter,  as compared to the  similar
          periods last year. Results for the nine months reflect higher
          revenues  from  both housing sales and  magazine  circulation
          operations,  partially  offset by lower  revenues  from  land
          sales,  while the third quarter reflects higher revenues from
          magazine  circulation operations,  offset by  lower  revenues
          from  housing and land sales.   Revenues from  housing  sales
          increased   approximately  7% in the nine months  this  year,
          resulting  from an increase in the average selling  price  of
          homes  closed  from  $101,600 to  $113,800,  which  offset  a
          decrease  in housing unit deliveries from 631 to  601.  These
          revenues decreased approximately 2% in the third quarter this
          year,  due to a decrease in housing unit deliveries from  205
          to  175  which  was partially offset by an  increase  in  the
          average  selling  price  of homes  closed  from  $103,800  to
          $118,900.  The  increases in the average  selling  prices  on
          homes  closed  from  1995 to 1996  results  both  from  price
          increases  and  a  shift to the  building  of   larger,  more
          expensive  houses in Rio Rancho. The gross margin on  housing
          sales increased by approximately $3.8 million and $.8 million
          in the nine months and third quarter, respectively, this year
          as compared to the similar periods last year,  resulting from
          price increases as well as the favorable effect of production
          strategies  and  efficiencies introduced  last  fiscal  year. 
          Revenues  and related gross profit from land sales  decreased
          in  the  three  and nine month periods  in  1996  from  1995,
          primarily  due to a decrease in the level of  commercial  and
          industrial  lot sales.  Land sale revenues and related  gross
          profits  can  vary from period to period as a result  of  the
          nature  and timing of specific transactions,  and is  not  an
          indication of amounts that may be expected to occur in future

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
           Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Page 2 of 2)
                                January 31, 1996


          periods.   As a result of these factors,  gross  profit  from
          housing  and  land  sales  increased  by  approximately  $1.5
          million in the nine months and decreased by approximately $.6
          million  in  the third quarter this year as compared  to  the
          similar periods last year.

          The increase in real estate commissions and selling  expenses
          in  the  nine months this year was primarily  the  result  of
          increased  revenues from housing sales,  and the decrease  in
          the  third quarter this year was primarily the result of  the
          decrease  in  revenues  from land sales.   Real   estate  and
          corporate  general and administrative expenses  increased  by
          approximately  18%  and  21% in the  nine  and  three  months
          periods in 1996 compared to 1995;  increases in both  periods
          result   from  severance  payments  to   several   employees,
          increased  pension  plan expense resulting from   lower  than
          assumed   investment  performance  in  1994  and   additional
          employees,  legal  and other professional fees related to the 
          Company's ongoing  dispute with the Internal Revenue  Service 
          and other general  expenses.

          Revenues  from  magazine  circulation  operations   increased
          approximately  35%  and  21% in the  nine  months  and  third
          quarter,  respectively,  this year as compared to the similar
          periods last year primarily due to the acquisition in January
          1995  of the business of Fulfillment Corporation  of  America
          (FCA).  Revenues from the newsstand distribution services are
          generally  comparable  for the nine month  periods,  however,
          they  decreased approximately 11% in the third  quarter  1996
          compared  to  the prior year due to  decreased  billings  and
          magazine  sales  percentages.   At the  same  time  operating
          expenses have increased by a greater amount than revenues  in
          the nine months and third quarter,  due to costs   associated
          with  the integration of FCA's activities with  Kable's.   It
          is  expected  that  the profit  margin  of  the   Fulfillment
          Division  will  improve upon completion of  the   integration
          period.

          Interest  expense  increased  in the nine  months  and  third
          quarter this year due primarily to higher average  borrowings
          for  the magazine circulation operations and higher  interest
          rates,  since a large portion of the Company's borrowings are
          related  to the prime rate.   Interest and other  operations'
          revenues  less  related cost and expenses  increased  in  the
          third quarter this year primarily due to the gain on the sale
          of an industrial building.
