                        Management's Discussion and Analysis of
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Page 1 of 2)
                                    January 31, 1998

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

Total  revenues  for the three and nine month  periods  ended  January  31, 1998
increased  27% and  23%,  respectively,  from the  same  periods  last  year,
reflecting  higher  revenues  from both real  estate  and  magazine  circulation
operations.  

Revenues from real estate operations  increased 25% and 30% during the three and
nine month periods ended January 31, 1998,  respectively,  compared to the prior
year,  resulting  from  increases in both home and  condominium  and land sales.
Revenues from home and condominium  sales increased 13% and 22% in the three and
nine month periods,  respectively,  which generally reflect an increase in total
unit  deliveries from 154 to 165 in the third quarter and from 403 to 497 in the
nine month period as compared to the same periods last year.  This  increase was
due in part to increased home  deliveries in Colorado  resulting from additional
projects  from  which  homes  are  being  sold  and  delivered,  as well as from
deliveries contributed from the Company's northern California operations,  which
were acquired  by the  Company in  September  1997.  Although  housing  revenues
increased,  there was a slight  decrease  in the  gross  profit  percentage  for
housing, which resulted from a number of factors,  including a change in the mix
of homes  delivered and higher lot development  costs. In addition,  the Company
closed  an  increased  number  of large  commercial  land  sales  in New  Mexico
throughout  this fiscal  year  compared  to the prior  year,  which  resulted in
increased  revenues  of 77% from land sales for the quarter and 69% for the nine
month period. 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 increased by approximately  $1.1 million in the third quarter and
by  approximately  $4.5 million in the nine months this year,  respectively,  as
compared to the similar periods last year.

Revenues from magazine circulation operations increased  approximately 5% and 4%
in the three and nine months  periods ended January 31, 1998, as compared to the
same periods last year, due to increases in both Fulfillment Services and
Newsstand  Distribution  Services.  Revenues from Fulfillment Services increased
approximately   5%  in  both  the  three  and  nine  month  periods  this  year,
respectively,  due primarily to increased  volumes resulting from a new contract
with a major publisher, which was partially offset by decreased volumes in other
areas of the business.  Revenues from  Newsstand  Distribution  Services 
increased approximately 4% and 2% in the three and nine month periods this year,
respectively, compared to the prior year, due to a modest increase in the volume
of magazine sales.

                        Management's Discussion and Analysis of
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Page 2 of 2)
                                    January 31, 1998


The major  realignment and  consolidation  of  relationships in the distribution
chain for  magazines  which  developed  during  1996  continues  to  affect  the
industry,  and the Company continues to address the situation.  Magazine
circulation  operating expenses have decreased from approximately 81% of related
revenues last year to approximately 77% of related revenues in the current year,
reflecting  the  completed  integration  of  the  acquisition  of  Kable's  Ohio
operations and the favorable impact of cost reduction  initiatives.  As a result
of  these  factors,   operating  income  from  magazine  circulation  operations
increased by approximately $970,000 and $2,240,000 in the third quarter and nine
months this year, respectively, as compared to last year.

During the third  quarter of fiscal  1998,  the Company sold the Rio Rancho Golf
and Country  Club,  and its 50% limited  partnership  interest in The Classic at
West Palm Beach,  a  congregate  care  facility in Florida,  and  recognized  an
aggregate  non-recurring  gain of  approximately  $4.2 million,  which amount is
included in "Interest and other operations".

Real estate commissions and selling expenses increased approximately $530,000 in
the nine months,  primarily as a result of the increased volume, as well as from
an increase in the number of projects  open for sale.  Real estate and corporate
general and administrative expenses increased $283,000 in the three month period
and $268,  000 in the nine  months,  principally  as a result  of the  Company's
expansion into northern California in September 1997. General and administrative
costs of the magazine  circulation  operations  increased by approximately 3% in
both the three  and nine  month  periods,  respectively,  commensurate  with the
revenue increase.

Interest expense  increased in both real estate and magazine  operations in both
the third  quarter and nine  months  period  this year  primarily  due to higher
average borrowings  partially offset by an increase in the amount of capitalized
real estate interest.


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

Receivables from magazine circulation operations increased from $43.0 million at
April 30, 1997, to $58.7 million at January 31, 1998,  resulting  partially from
the timing of monthly billings as well as from delays in payments experienced by
Kable  from  wholesalers  which  Kable  believes  is  partially  a result of the
industry consolidation issue as referred to above. As a result, cash decreased 
by $11.4 million and accounts payable,  deposits and accrued expenses  increased
by approximately $4.1 million at January 31, 1998 compared to April 30, 1997.
