                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              MARCH 31, 1999
                                (UNAUDITED)


BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information 
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for 
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments 
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair 
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period 
ended March 31, 1999 are not indicative of the results that may be expected 
for the year ended December 31, 1999.

    The balance sheet at December 31, 1998 has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.

    For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year 
ended December 31, 1998.

    The business of the Company is not seasonal and the Company does no
foreign or export business. The Company does not segregate revenue or assets 
by geographical region, and such presentation is not applicable and would not 
be material to an understanding of the Company's business taken as a whole.

MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE

    On October 10, 1995, the Company made a first mortgage loan in the
amount of $375,000 which is secured by a commercial property in New York 
City, as well as by a personal guaranty of one of the principals of the 
borrower. The loan calls for interest at 12% per annum with monthly payments 
based on a ten (10) year amortization schedule and a balloon payment of the 
total balance in five (5) years. The loan was sold to a company controlled by 
Mr. Polly during the third quarter of 1998 for its then principal balance.

     On February 13, 1996, the Company made a first mortgage loan in the
amount of $150,000 which is secured by a commercial property in New York 
City. The loan represents less than 17% of the appraised value of the 
property, bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and calls for monthly 
payments on a five year self-liquidation basis. This loan was prepaid in full 
during the second quarter of 1998.


<PAGE>

     On February 29, 1996, the Company had a first mortgage loan in the 
approximate amount of $106,000 which is secured by an industrial property in 
Lake Worth, Florida. The property securing the mortgage is controlled 
MORTGAGE LOANS RECEIVABLE by Mr. Harvey Polly, who has personally guaranteed 
the mortgage. The loan calls for 10% interest per annum, payable monthly, 
with a balloon payment of principal after five (5) years. This loan was fully 
paid on March 1,1999.

     On August 20, 1997, the Company made a first mortgage loan in the
amount of $1,000,000, which was secured by one commercial and one residential 
property located in the Dallas, Texas area. The loan bears interest at the 
rate of 12% and calls for monthly payments of interest only. The loan was 
originally due on April 1, 1998. The principals of the Corporate owners of 
both properties have personally guaranteed the loan. In April of 1998, this 
loan was paid down by $700,000 to $300,000 and the residential property was 
released from the lien. The mortgage is now due on July 1, 1999.

     The carrying amount of the above mortgage loans approximate their fair
values.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE

     On May 28, 1998, the Company made an investment of $1,005,000 in Metro
Franchising Commissary, LLC (the "Venture"), resulting in a 50% interest in 
the Venture by paying $655,000 in cash upon closing, and issuing a 
non-interest bearing note in the amount of $350,000. The note was due on the 
date which was earlier of (i) September 30, 1998 or (ii) 10 days after the 
date on which demand was made by the holder of the note. This due date was 
subsequently extended to November 2, 1998, at which time the note was paid.

     The business of the Venture is to open Dunkin' Donuts Quick Service
Restaurant locations in Exxon Service Stations in the New York, New Jersey 
and Connecticut areas. The venture has leased property in Long Island City, 
New York, where Dunkin' Donuts products are baked for delivery to various 
locations. It is expected that this facility will have the capacity to 
service 20 to 25 retail locations.

     The individual retail locations are selected by the Venture with
Dunkin' Donuts' and Exxon's approval. Each site is renovated and equipped by 
the Venture and operated by the station operator. All baked products are 
purchased from the Venture and the station operator also pays the Venture a 
royalty fee based on sales, a portion of which is remitted to Dunkin' Donuts.

     As of December 31, 1998, the Venture's baking facility was fully
operational. The first retail location commenced operations in December, 
1998. One additional retail location opened in January, 1999 and two 
additional retail locations opened in February, 1999. in April, 1999 two 
additional locations were opened, bringing the total to six locations.

INVESTMENT IN LIQUIDATING TRUST

    The Company has an interest in a liquidating Trust which was received
as final settlement of guarantees of VMS Realty Partners of loans made by the 
Company in prior years. No funds have been received by the Company, from the 
Trust in 1999 or 1998.

OTHER INVESTMENT

     As of March 31, 1999, the Company owned a 50% partnership interest in
the Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel. The fair value of the interest at March 31,

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The Registrant is not aware of any material pending legal proceedings
as of May 5, 1999 nor were any proceedings terminated during the quarter 
ended March 31, 1999.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short--term investments.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 1999 and 
December 31, 1998 was $263,304 and $193,710 respectively.

     At this time, there are no material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to meet 
its needs for anticipated operating expenses. The Company deems its liquidity 
to be adequate.

     As of March 31, 1999, the Company's mortgage loan portfolio consisted
of one loan, as detailed above.

     The Company's ultimate return of cash to its stockholders is dependent
upon, among other things: (i) the activities undertaken by the Company; (ii) 
interest earned from the investment of cash and cash equivalents, and 
mortgages; (iii) the Company's ability to control its operating expenses; 
(iv) possible recoveries from the Santa Barbara Biltmore Hotel and the 
liquidating trust, if any; and (v) operating results of the Joint Venture.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Total income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 was
$12,504 and $47,014 respectively. The decrease is due primarily to principle 
prepayments on the Company's mortgage loans receivable.

     Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were lower
than those for the same period in 1998. The decrease is due primarily to 
reductions in Professional fees and General and Administrative expenses. In 
addition, the Company incurred a loss of $48,344 as a result of its equity 
investment for the three month period


<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

ended March 31, 1999.

     The above changes for the three months ended March 31, 1999, when
compared to the same period in 1998, resulted in an increase in the net loss 
to $78,706 ($(0.01) per share) from $39,457 ($0.00 per share).

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

     The year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to identify the applicable year. Any 
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize "00" as the 
year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or 
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other 
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or 
engage in similar normal business activities.

     The Company does not use a computer for any of its business activities.
Based on a recent assessment, the Company determined that none of its 
operations will be impacted by the Year 2000 Issue except to the extent that 
its significant borrowers and its joint venture partners are unable to 
remediate their own Year 2000 Issues. Discussions with these borrowers, and 
with the managing member of the joint venture in which the Company has a 50% 
interest has convinced Management that alternative procedures would enable 
these borrowers, and the joint venture to continue normal operations should 
they encounter Year 2000 problems.
