1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
     the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the
     periods presented. The accompanying statements do not include all
     disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with
     generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, it is recommended that
     these accompanying statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements appearing in the Company's 1995 annual report on Form
     10-K

2.   The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
     1995, are not necessarily comparable and may not be indicative of the
     results which may be expected for future quarters or future years.

3.   During the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company sold
     land in exchange for notes receivable in the amount of $1,674,000 and
     $1,357,000, respectively, of which $566,000 and $920,000, respectively, was
     deferred.

4.   The Company's consolidated financial statements include those of its
     wholly-owned subsidiaries, NZ Properties, Inc., NZ Development Corporation
     and NZU Inc., along with five joint ventures in which the Company holds a
     majority ownership.

5.   Certain amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

6.   Earnings per share computations are based on the weighted average number of
     shares outstanding of 3,007,656 and 2,995,728 in 1996 and 1995
     respectively, which have been restated to reflect a 10% stock dividend paid
     July 18, 1996.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from sales of land and recreational lots, distributions from its joint
ventures and other ongoing operations, along with unused borrowing capacity,
should be adequate for continuing operations and considerable future
investments.

Financing, at the joint venture level, is being utilized to develop
single-family lots. These loans are secured by the property involved, along with
guarantees from the Company and its partner. At September 30, 1996, there was
$2,359,000 borrowed against a $3,850,000 development line of credit. The Company
has a $1,000,000 line of credit, which matures November 8, 1996, and is secured
by certain real estate holdings. At September 30, 1996, there were no funds
borrowed on this line.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net income was $2,150,000
($0.71 per share) compared to $4,653,000 ($1.55 per share, restated for the
1996 stock dividend) for the same period of 1995. In 1995 the Company recorded
two one-time payments that affected income by the following amounts: $1,600,000
from the sale of a joint venture property located in Tempe, Arizona and
$1,084,000 from the sale of a mortgage note secured by a Tucson hotel. Revenue
from investment income is less in 1996 due to the sale of this mortgage note.
Earnings from sales of single-family lots in 1996 were down by approximately
$1,700,000 from the same period in 1995. This downward trend was expected as the
absorption rate of single family lots is now more in line with supply. 1996
earnings include an increase of over $400,000 in the sale of 40-acre parcels
from our recreational lots sales program in southern Arizona, while 1995
earnings included income from the sale of two commercial parcels in Albuquerque.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October 1996, the Company sold a commercial corner located in Albuquerque,
which generated income (after taxes) of approximately $0.74 per share. Cash
from the sale of this property along with cash on hand is being utilized to
purchase additional properties. The Company recently purchased a 635 acre
parcel, zoned for residential development, located near the Town of Cottonwood,
in Yavapai County, Arizona.

In addition, the purchase of approximately 10,000 acres, which contains a major
uranium deposit, is expected to close escrow in November 1996. This property is
located in the Tallahassee Creek area of Colorado and was formerly known as the
Hansen Ore Body. Previous studies by independent consulting geologists have
indicated that the Hansen deposit contains up to 25 million pounds of uranium
oxide equivalent.
