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





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

Notes payable,  which are  collateralized  by real estate inventory and magazine
circulation  accounts  receivable,  increased by approximately $8.3 million from
April 30, 1996 to July 31, 1996,  resulting  from  increases in both real estate
and magazine circulation operations.


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

Total  revenues  for the  quarter  ended July 31,  1996  decreased  16% from the
similar period last year,  reflecting lower revenues from both housing sales and
magazine circulation  operations,  partially offset by higher revenues from land
sales. Revenues from housing sales decreased approximately 27%, resulting from a
decrease in housing unit deliveries from 215 to 143, which was caused  primarily
by the timing of new  project  openings,  and which was  partially  offset by an
increase in the average selling price of homes closed from $109,300 to $119,300.
The increase in the average  selling  prices on homes closed  resulted both from
price increases and because a  proportionately  greater share of the houses sold
in New Mexico this quarter were larger,  more expensive homes than those sold in
the corresponding prior year period. The gross margin on housing sales decreased
by approximately  $1.4 million in the first quarter this year as compared to the
similar period last year, resulting primarily from the decreased unit deliveries
and lower revenues. Revenues and related gross profit from land sales increased,
primarily  due to an  increase in the level of  commercial  and  industrial  lot
sales.  Land sale  revenues and related gross profits can vary from year to year
as a result of the nature and timing of  specific  transactions,  and thus prior
results are not an indication of amounts that may be expected to occur in future
periods.  As a result of these factors,  gross profit from combined  housing and
land sales decreased by approximately $600,000 in the first quarter this year as
compared to the similar period last year.

Revenues from magazine circulation operations decreased approximately 11% in the
first  quarter  this year as compared to the  similar  period last year,  due to
decreases in both the Fulfillment Services and Newsstand  Distribution Services.
Revenues  from  Fulfillment  Services  decreased  approximately  9% in the first
quarter this year, due primarily to client  losses.  Revenues from the Newsstand
Distribution Services decreased approximately 15% in the first quarter this year
due to decreased magazine sales. This sales decrease

resulted in part from continuing  consumer  resistance to the increased price of
magazines caused by an increase in the cost of paper earlier this calendar year.
In addition,  a major realignment of industry  relationships in the distribution
of magazines developed rapidly during 1996, which led to a substantial reduction
in the number of wholesalers.
These changes have adversely impacted Kable's sales and
profits. The decrease in magazine  circulation  operating expenses resulted from
and partially offset the revenue decreases discussed above. As a result of these
factors,  operating  income from magazine  circulation  operations  decreased by
approximately $900,000 in the first quarter this year as compared to last year.

The decrease in real estate  commissions and selling  expenses was primarily the
result of the decrease in revenue from housing sales.  Real estate and corporate
general and  administrative  expenses  decreased by  approximately  14% from the
first  quarter last year,  primarily  as a result of the vacant Chief  Executive
Officer's position and staff reductions.

Interest expense decreased in the first quarter this year due primarily to lower
average  borrowings and interest  rates,  since a large portion of the Company's
borrowings are related to the prime rate.  Revenues less costs and expenses from
interest and other operations increased by approximately  $250,000,  due in part
to a gain from the early redemption of four collateralized  mortgage bond series
in the first quarter this year.
