NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary
to present fairly the financial position as of October 31, 1997, and April 30,
1997, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month
periods ended October 31, 1997 and 1996.
Balance sheet information as of April 30, 1997, is derived from the audited
balance sheet as of April 30, 1997 contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
The results of operations for the three and six months ended October 31, 1997
and 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
All footnotes and disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles are not shown in this report.
See the Company's notes to financial statements contained in its Annual Report
on Form 10-K, for the year ended April 30, 1997, for disclosure of significant
accounting policies and pertinent disclosures.
NOTE 2 - OPERATIONS
During its 1992 fiscal year, the Company discontinued its Mildoor sliding glass
door and window operations. These activities comprised the Company's only
business unit. However, effective September 15, 1994, the Company refinanced its
mortgage debt, which allowed the Company to continue to operate in a new type of
business. This consisted of leasing its building to third parties. Consequently,
the results of the Company's operations for fiscal 1997 and 1996 are shown as
continuing operations. Prior year results have been reclassified from
discontinued operations to continuing operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATION
For the second quarter ended October 31, 1997, the Company had rental income of
$43,000, compared with rental income of $47,000 for the same period in 1996.
During these periods, less than half of the Company's warehouse was leased. The
Company needs to lease the balance of the space in order to achieve positive
cash flow from operations. Rental income was offset by rental and administrative
expense of $39,000 in the second quarter of 1997, compared to $46,000 in 1996.
During the second quarter of 1997, the Company continued to operate a hardware
sales business, in which it sells replacement parts for the sliding glass door
and window products formerly sold by the Company. The Company also continued to
liquidate the equipment and product lines for the Company's former business.
Sales in the second quarter of 1997 were $8,000 (with cost of goods sold of
$7,000), compared to sales of $9,000 in 1996 (and cost of goods sold of $3,000).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash increased by $45,000 during the first six months of the 1997
fiscal year compared with an increase of $9,000 during the first six months of
fiscal year 1996. The increase in cash in 1997 was primarily due to proceeds
from an increase in the Company's mortgage loan. As of October 31, 1997, the
Company's cash position was approximately $125,000.
The Company's working capital remains extremely limited. The Company intends to
generate cash flow by leasing its building and continuing hardware sales. The
Company believes that its working capital needs over the next twelve months will
include repairs to a portion of the Building's roof, routine maintenance of its
building, and alterations to the interior of the building to accommodate new
tenants. The Company believes that it has enough cash to continue operations at
their current level for at least 12 more months. However, the Company's long
term prospects ultimately depend on the Company's ability to lease the remainder
of its building at attractive rates.

<PAGE>
CURRENT OPERATIONS
The Company has modified its business plan. Under the new plan, the Company now
operates as a real estate investment and management company. The Company is
currently seeking to obtain additional commercial tenants for its existing
building. The Company has entered into a five-year lease, which commenced in
January 1995, which provides for the rental of an estimated 24,000 square feet
for approximately $10,000 per month. In December 1997, the Company executed a
new lease agreement for an additional tenant. This will provide an additional
$6,550 per month of income commencing in March 1998. The amount of this new
leased space is approximately 18,800 square feet. The term of this lease is for
a period of three years. The Company also has an existing short-term lease for a
smaller portion of the Building which provides for revenue of $3,978 per month.
This lease is currently scheduled for expiration in June 1998, although it may
be further extended based on negotiations between the parties.
The Company's principal operating expenses consist of management and
professional fees associated with the administration of the Company, interest
expense on the Company's new mortgage loan, real estate taxes and insurance. The
Company believes that it can generate positive cash flow from operations if it
is able to find additional tenants for the building. However, at the present
time, the Company does not receive enough in lease payments to cover its
expenses.
The Company's business plan also contemplates the acquisition of additional
income-producing properties. The Company hopes to acquire such properties
through a combination of financing from third parties, seller financing and
issuance of the Company's equity securities.
The Company's business plan is subject to some uncertainty. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain a sufficient number of
additional tenants in order to fully lease its existing building and to meet its
debt service requirements and operating expenses. Furthermore, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to locate or acquire suitable properties
in order to expand its holdings of real property.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
SEABOARD CHEMICAL CORPORATION
In September 1991, the Company was identified by the North Carolina Department
of Environmental, Health and Natural Resources ("DEHNR") as one of a number of
generators of hazardous material which had been shipped to a site (the "Site")
owned by the Seaboard Chemical Corp. ("Seaboard"). Accordingly, DEHNR issued to
the Company a notice of responsibility advising of its liability as a potential
responsible party with respect to the Site.
Seaboard had operated the Site in Jamestown, North Carolina for the storage,
treatment and disposal of hazardous waste materials for the period from 1976 to
1989. Operations at the Site ceased in 1989 when Seaboard declared bankruptcy.
Beginning in 1990, the bankruptcy trustee for Seaboard attempted to close the
Site in accordance with the terms of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
("RCRA"). However, insufficient funds were available to allow the trustee to
complete this work. As a result, the Federal Environmental Protection Agency
(the "EPA") and the DEHNR advised the trustee that if the clean up work were not
completed, either one or both of the agencies would complete the work and would
sue the responsible parties to recover the costs involved. To avoid the
possibility of this lawsuit, in October 1991, the Company entered into an
agreement with other responsible parties to form a group to complete the Site
clean up work. Over the next two years, the necessary steps were taken to
complete the clean up of the surface contamination of the Site. In 1994, the
Company joined a group to complete the groundwater clean up ("Phase II"). Phase
II was to begin as soon as a satisfactory plan was approved by the concerned
authorities. To date, the Company has been required to expend only a minimal
amount on this operation. Therefore, no accrual has been made for further costs
to this point. No determination of the estimated additional expenditures has
been furnished to the group members.
