                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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
        1996 annual report on Form 10-K

2.      The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
        1996, 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 three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company sold
        land in exchange for notes receivable in the amount of $124,000 and
        $646,000, respectively, of which $124,000 and $198,000, respectively,
        was deferred.

4.      The Company's consolidated financial statements include those of its
        wholly-owned subsidiaries, NZ Properties, Inc., NZ Development
        Corporation, NZU Inc. and Great Vacations International 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 3,012,886 and 3,007,636 in 1997 and 1996
        respectively.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flow from sales of land, single-family and recreational lots, distributions
from its joint ventures and other ongoing operations, along with unused
borrowing capacity, should be adequate for continuing operations and investments
during the 1997 fiscal year. When construction and marketing begins on the
Sedona and/or Elm Fork projects, financing from outside sources will be required
to fund these projects. (See Developments in Item 7 of the Company's 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.)

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 March 31, 1997, there was
$1,695,000 borrowed against a $3,850,500 development line of credit. The Company
has a $1,000,000 working capital line of credit, which matures April 24, 1998
and is secured by certain real estate holdings. There are no funds borrowed on
this line.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 1997, net income was $484,000 ($0.16 per
share) compared to $837,000 ($0.28 per share) for the same period of 1996.
Earnings from sales of single-family and recreational lots were down by
approximately $550,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to the same period of 1996. Investment income is also less in 1997 as
compared to the same time frame in 1996 due to the amount of cash available for
short term investment. General and administrative expenses are slightly higher
primarily due to increased personnel costs.
