1. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.
The financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments consisting
only of normal recurring accruals and provisions for loan losses which, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the interim period. In addition, a non-recurring gain of approximately
$550,000 attributable to the settlement of certain litigation is included in
other income in the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended
June 27, 1993. The results of operations for the three month period ended June
26, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire year. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company s Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended March 27, 1994.
2. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
At June 26, 1994, the Company was contingently liable for the outstanding
principal balance of notes receivable sold aggregating $3.4 million. The
delinquency on such loans sold was not material. In most cases, the recourse
of the buyer of the loans to the Company terminates when a customer achieves
30% equity in the property underlying the loan. Equity is defined as the
difference between the purchase price of the property paid by the customer and
the current outstanding balance of the related loan.
3. PROVISION FOR LOSSES
The Company recorded provisions for loan losses totaling $165,000 and $150,000
for the three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations", included under Item 2 herein, for a further discussion of the
provisions for loan losses.

5. 1994 REMIC TRANSACTION
On May 11, 1994, the Company completed a private placement transaction which
the Company elected to treat as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (the
"1994 REMIC"), involving the securitization of $27.7 million aggregate
principal amount of its mortgage notes receivable. The notes were sold to a
REMIC trust, which issued four classes of Certificates, with each Certificate
evidencing a fractional undivided interest in the pool of notes. The initial
principal balances of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Class R Certificates
were $23.3 million, $2.8 million, $1.6 million and $0, respectively. On May
11, 1994, the Company sold the Class A and Class B Certificates to an
institutional investor for aggregate proceeds of $26 million and retained the
Class C and Class R Certificates. A portion of the proceeds from the
transaction were used to repay approximately $13.5 million of outstanding debt,
including $6.8 million of borrowings under a $10 million credit facility
secured by notes receivable, $4.3 million of borrowings under a $20 million
credit facility secured by notes receivable and $2.4 million associated with
amounts paid to retire securities previously sold pursuant to the Company s
1989 REMIC financing. The balance of the proceeds, after payment of issuance
expenses and fees, resulted in an approximate $12.4 million increase in
unrestricted cash. The 1994 REMIC resulted in a net pre-tax loss of
approximately $411,000 which is included in the Consolidated Statement of
Income as a reduction to interest income for the three months ended June 26,
1994.
6. STOCK DIVIDENDS
In addition to a 4% Common Stock dividend paid on August 16, 1993, which
consisted of the issuance of 683,005 shares, the Company paid another 4% Common
Stock dividend on May 31, 1994, which consisted of the issuance of an
additional 711,076 common shares. The Company paid an aggregate $2,812 to
certain shareholders in lieu of issuing any fractional shares of stock. The
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares used to
calculate primary and fully diluted net income per common share has been
adjusted in the consolidated statements of income to give effect to the August
1993 and May 1994 stock dividends, including retroactive restatement of the net
income per common share amounts for the three months ended June 27, 1993.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
Sources of Capital. The Company's capital resources are provided from both
internal and external sources. The Company's primary capital resources from
internal operations include down payments on real estate sales which are
financed, cash sales of real estate, principal and interest payments on the
purchase money mortgage loans ("Receivables") arising from real estate sales
and proceeds from the sale of, or borrowings collateralized by, Receivables.
External sources of liquidity have historically included borrowings under
secured and unsecured lines of credit, seller and bank financing of inventory
acquisitions and the issuance of debt and equity securities. Currently, the
primary external sources of liquidity include seller and bank financing of
inventory acquisitions and development. The Company anticipates that it will
continue to require external sources of liquidity to support its operations and
satisfy its debt and other obligations.
Net cash provided by the Company's operations was $6.2 million for the three
months ended June 26, 1994 and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 27,
1993. The 54.2% increase in cash flow provided by operations was primarily
attributable to increased cash collections from customers. In addition, cash
flows from the pledge of Receivables under credit facilities, net of repayments
under such facilities, together with proceeds from the sale of senior class
instruments through the 1994 REMIC generated approximately $8.2 million more in
proceeds for the current period versus the comparable period of the prior year.
The increase in cash flows from these sources was offset by greater levels of
spending for land acquisitions, land development and cash paid to suppliers,
employees and sales representatives.
During the three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, the Company
received in cash $16.4 million or 77% and $7.5 million or 58%, respectively, of
its sales of real estate that closed during these periods. The increase in the
percentage of cash received is attributable in part, to the Company's program
directed at obtaining increased down payments on financed sales of real estate
as well as encouraging cash sales through the structure of its compensation
program for certain regional office personnel. Management believes that the
increase in cash sales was also the result of strengthened relationships with
local banks in certain regions resulting in more direct third party customer
financing during the current fiscal period.
Receivables arising from real estate sales generally are transferred to the
Company's wholly-owned, special purpose finance subsidiaries (the "Receivable
Subsidiaries") and then pledged to institutional lenders or sold in connection
with REMIC financings. The Receivable Subsidiaries are generally advanced
between 80% and 90% of the face amount of the mortgage notes by lenders. The
Company has also directly sold or pledged Receivables to banks or other
institutional investors. The Company is subject to certain obligations and has
certain contingent liabilities with respect to the Receivables sold. See Note
2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1.
During the three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, the Company
raised $5.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively, from the pledge of
Receivables. During the three months ended June 26, 1994, the Company also
raised $22.7 million in net proceeds from the 1994 REMIC.
The Company has a revolving credit facility of $20.0 million secured by
eligible Receivables with a financial institution. Under the terms of this
facility, the Company is advanced proceeds equal to 90% of the outstanding
principal balance of the pledged Receivables. In the event that pledged
Receivables become 90 or more days delinquent, the Company is obligated to
repurchase the Receivable or substitute a performing Receivable. Aggregate
repurchases and substitutions have not been material. The interest rate
charged under the facility is prime plus 2.0%. At June 26, 1994, the
outstanding principal balance under the facility was $11.1 million.
Accordingly, as of June 26, 1994, the Company had the ability to borrow up to
an additional $8.9 million secured by, and subject to the availability of, up
to $9.8 million of eligible Receivables. All principal and interest payments
received from the pledged Receivables are applied to the principal and interest
due under this facility. The ability to receive advances expires June, 1996.
The indebtedness matures ten years from the date of the last advance.
9.
<PAGE> 10
The Company has a credit facility with another financial institution which
allows it to receive aggregate advances up to $25.0 million secured by eligible
Receivables. Under the terms of this facility, the Company is advanced
proceeds equal to 80% of the outstanding principal balance of the pledged
Receivables. The interest rate charged under the facility is 1.75% plus the
greater of the prime rate or commercial paper rate as published in the Wall
Street Journal. At June 26, 1994, the outstanding principal balance under this
facility was $6.6 million and the Company had received $9.6 million in
aggregate advances from the pledge of Receivables. As of that date, the
Company had the ability to borrow up to an additional $15.4 million secured by
up to $19.3 million of eligible Receivables. All principal and interest
payments received on the pledged Receivables are applied to the principal and
interest due under this facility. The ability to receive advances expires in
June, 1995. The indebtedness matures in June, 1998.
The Company has a $10 million revolving credit facility with another financial
institution secured by Receivables and inventory. Under the terms of this
facility, the Company is entitled to advances equal to 80% of the outstanding
principal balance of eligible pledged Receivables and advances of up to $3
million secured by inventory to fund the acquisition and development of real
estate. Borrowings secured by Receivables under this facility bear interest at
prime plus 2.5%. All such advances secured by Receivables were repaid in full
on May 11, 1994 with a portion of the proceeds from the 1994 REMIC. At June
26, 1994, the outstanding principal balance of borrowings secured by inventory
totaled $1 million with interest at prime plus 3.0%. The Company is required to
pay the financial institution 55% of the contract price of land sales
associated with pledged inventory when any such inventory is sold until the
indebtedness is paid in full. At June 26, 1994, the Company had the ability to
borrow up to an additional $9 million secured by Receivables and inventory.
The facility expires in October, 1998.
The Company also has an agreement with a lender which provides for construction
and receivable financing for a timeshare project in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Under the terms of the construction financing, the lender will advance up to an
aggregate of $3.1 million for development provided that the outstanding balance
shall not at any time exceed $2.1 million. The receivable loan has a maximum
borrowing limit of $5 million less any outstanding balance on the construction
loan. The interest rate charged under the facility is prime plus 2.25%. The
facility expires in August, 1995. See "Uses of Capital" below for further
discussion of the Company s timeshare operation.
The Company continues to obtain bank or seller financing for its property
acquisitions. During the three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993,
the Company financed $8.3 million or 34.8% and $3.2 million or 39.1%,
respectively, of its property inventory, including acquisition and development
costs.
In addition to the sources of capital available under credit facilities
totaling $38.3 million as discussed above, the balance of the Company's
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents was $9.4 million at June 26, 1994.
Based upon existing credit relationships, the current financial condition of
the Company and its operating plan, management believes the Company has, or can
obtain, adequate financial resources to satisfy its capital requirements.
Uses of Capital. The Company's capital resources, both internal and external,
are used to support the Company's operations, including the acquisition of real
estate, development of land, housing and timeshare properties, purchase of
building materials, financing customer purchases, meeting operating expenses
and satisfying the Company's debt obligations.
The Company's net inventory was $54.6 million at June 26, 1994 and $40.1
million at March 27, 1994. The Company attempts to maintain inventory at a
level adequate to support anticipated sales of real estate. Accordingly,
inventory levels in the Midwestern, Southwestern and Western regions have
increased to accommodate strong consumer demand and expanded sales efforts.
The Company intends to continue to decrease its inventory levels in the
Northeastern region of the United States due to the continued overall soft real
estate market conditions.

The Company estimates that the total cash required to complete preparation for
the retail sale of the inventory owned as of June 27, 1994, was approximately
$56.3 million, excluding housing and timeshare unit costs subsequent to fiscal
1995 which the Company is not able to determine at this time. Of the $56.3
million of cash requirements, the Company currently estimates that
approximately $35.0 million will be required to complete preparation for sale
of inventory intended to be marketed through the remainder of fiscal 1995.
With respect to inventory owned as of June 26, 1994, the Company requires
capital to (a) improve land intended for recreational, vacation, retirement or
primary homesite use by purchasers, (b) fund its housing operation in select
sites and (c) develop timeshare property as set forth in the table below. The
information below discusses the capital requirements for each operating segment
further.
Land Costs to improve land typically include expenditures for road and
utility construction, surveys and engineering fees.
Housing Operation The Company expends capital on building materials and other
infrastructure costs, including road and utility construction, surveys and
engineering fees. In fiscal 1994, the Company introduced a site-built housing
product in the Southwestern region. The Company is expanding this program into
the Southeastern region in fiscal 1995 along with its existing manufactured and
modular housing programs. Management believes the Company has, or can obtain,
adequate sources of capital to support its growth in this operation.
Timeshare Property In November, 1993 the Company purchased property in
Gatlinburg, Tennessee, for the site of its first timeshare project. Although
plans for the final phases of the project have not been finalized, the
preliminary plans provide for approximately 171 units. Development is being
phased for the project with residential units constructed in agreed upon
intervals prompted by pre-sales levels. Certain portions of the project are
currently under construction.
The following table sets forth the estimated funds required to complete
preparation for the retail sale of inventory intended to be marketed through
the remainder of fiscal 1995, by geographic region and product type. The
estimated spending attributable to land holdings includes all development costs
to complete properties for retail sale. With respect to the Company's housing
operation, estimated funding includes costs to complete all land development as
well as costs required to construct housing units. Projected spending on
timeshare property represents funds required to substantially complete the
early phases of the project, as well as certain infrastructure and amenities
which also serve subsequent phases of the development.

(1) Housing operation inventory as of June 26, 1994, includes land inventory
of $6.5 million and $1.5 million of housing unit construction-in-progress.
As of March 27, 1994, the Company had $5.4 million of land inventory with
$1.2 million of housing unit construction-in-progress.
The Company maintains inventory valuation reserves which totaled $4.1 million
at June 26, 1994, on certain properties which serve as contra assets against
the historical cost of such parcels. The Company's inventory valuation reserve
specifically includes the following components: (a) the difference between
the historical cost and expected selling price of the inventory; and (b) the
expected costs to dispose of the inventory, including selling, general and
administrative expense ("S,G&A" expense) and, in certain cases, interest
expense. As parcels are sold, inventory is relieved from the balance sheet and
a charge to cost of sales is recorded in the statement of income at historical
amounts. In addition, reserves are released and credited against cost of real
estate sold and S,G&A expense. During the three months ended June 26, 1994,
$226,000 and $234,000 of the Company's inventory reserves were released as
credits to cost of real estate sold and S,G&A expense, respectively, while
during the three months ended June 27, 1993, $210,000 and $307,000 of the
Company's inventory reserves were released as credits to cost of real estate
sold and S,G&A expense, respectively.

The Company offers financing of up to 90% of the purchase price of real estate
sold to all purchasers of its properties who qualify for such financing.
During the three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, the Company
received 23% and 42%, respectively, of its aggregate sales of real estate which
closed during the period in the form of mortgage notes receivable. The
decrease in the percentage of sales financed by the Company is attributable to
the Company s program which commenced in fiscal 1992 directed at increasing
cash sales of real estate or down payments in cases where Company financing is
extended. At June 26, 1994, $29.2 million of Receivables were pledged as
collateral to secure financings of the Company's Receivable Subsidiaries or
other Company indebtedness while $3.7 million were not pledged or encumbered.
At March 27, 1994, $34.1 million of Receivables were pledged as collateral to
secure financings of the Company's Receivable Subsidiaries or other Company
indebtedness while $9.4 million were not pledged or encumbered. The reduction
in unencumbered notes at June 26, 1994 was attributable to the sale of notes in
connection with the 1994 REMIC.
At June 26, 1994, 2.1% or $751,000 of the aggregate $36.3 million principal
amount of Company-originated loans which were held by the Company or sold
through programs under which the Company has a recourse liability were more
than 30 days past due. Of these $36.3 million principal amount of loans, $32.9
million were held by the Company, while $3.4 million were sold with limited
recourse. In most cases, the recourse to the Company terminates when the
principal balance of the loan becomes 70% or less of the original selling price
of the property underlying the loan. At March 27, 1994, 3.3% or $1.6 million
of the aggregate $48.9 million principal amount of Company-originated loans
which were held by the Company or sold through programs under which the Company
has a recourse liability were more than 30 days past due. The decrease in the
delinquency rate during the current period was attributable to the Company s
ongoing program of expanded collection efforts and strengthened underwriting
criteria involved in the origination and servicing of Receivables. In
addition, approximately $1.1 million of inventory was reacquired through
foreclosure, "insubstance foreclosure" or deedback in lieu of foreclosure
during the quarter ended June 26, 1994.
In the case of default by a customer on a mortgage note, the Company may
forgive the unpaid balance in exchange for title to the parcel securing such
note. If the Company is unable to obtain a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
Company forecloses on the mortgage securing such note. Real estate reacquired
through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is recorded at the lower of
estimated net realizable value or the balance of the loan. Related costs
incurred to reacquire, carry and dispose of the property are capitalized to the
extent deemed recoverable.
The Company recorded loan loss provisions of $165,000 and $150,000 for the
three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively. The adequacy
of the Company's reserve for loan losses is determined by management and
reviewed on a regular basis, considering historical frequency of default, loss
experience, as well as present and expected economic conditions. Net loan
charge- offs and the quality of Receivables, as evidenced by non-accrual loans
are among the factors reviewed.

<PAGE> 14
The following table sets forth the Receivables held by the Company and the
reserve for possible loan losses at the dates indicated. The reserve for loan
losses as a percentage of Receivables decreased through March 27, 1994 in
response to reduced delinquencies and improved performance of the portfolio.
The Company accelerated payment to outstanding security holders from a 1989
REMIC Financing. In connection with the early retirement, the Company
reacquired approximately $15.3 million of Receivables of which $14.9 million
were subsequently included as collateral in the 1994 REMIC. The remaining
$443,000 of Receivables were retained by the Company and, because of
delinquency, required a higher reserve for loan loss, resulting in an overall
increase in the Reserve as a percentage of Receivables.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report to Shareholders for the fiscal year ended March 27, 1994.
In the latter part of fiscal 1994, the Company began pursuing a program of
diversification into the housing and timeshare industries. Management believes
that these newly formed operations complement the core retail land business and
will provide desired opportunities for revenue growth. During the quarter
ended June 26, 1994, such operations have emerged as related, but distinct
business units with different operating characteristics from that of the
Company's core retail land sales business.
The following table sets forth the respective results of operations for the
various business units comprising the consolidated operations of the Company
for the three months ended June 26, 1994. The Company was not involved in
timeshare operations and housing operation activity was not material during the
three months ended June 27, 1993. Accordingly, separate results of operations
for the first quarter of fiscal 1994 are not presented.

(1) Aggregate general and administrative expenses associated with corporate
overhead of approximately $2.1 million have been allocated to the land,
housing and timeshare operations in the amounts of $1.8 million, $204,000
and $124,000, respectively.
The real estate market is cyclical in nature and highly sensitive to changes in
national and regional economic conditions, including, among other factors,
levels of employment and discretionary disposable income, consumer confidence
and interest rates. Based upon the increase in the level of sales of real
estate, management believes that general economic conditions are improving in
many of its principal markets of operation. However, the real estate markets
in the Northeast and Canada continue to remain depressed and the Company has
experienced reduced levels of sales in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Consolidated sales of real estate increased 65.5% to $22.0 million for the
three months ended June 26, 1994 compared to $13.3 million for the three months
ended June 27, 1993.

26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively. See table to follow outlining
number of parcels sold by geographic region.
The improvement in the Company's gross margins from retail land sales for the
three months ended June 26, 1994 compared to the three months ended June 27,
1993 is primarily attributable to increased sales at higher margins in the
Southwestern region. Since fiscal 1990, all inventory acquisitions have
required the prior approval of the Company's Investment Committee. Since May,
1990, the Company has realized gross margins of approximately 58% on such
acquisitions. However, the sale of certain inventory acquired prior to the
formation of the Investment Committee or sales of inventory reacquired through
foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure will continue to adversely affect
overall gross margins. Specifically, the Company anticipates little or no
gross margins on the sale of the remaining $4.6 million of net inventory
holdings in the Northeast. The Company continues to liquidate its Northeast
inventory.
The Company s housing and timeshare operations reflect characteristics that
differ from the core retail land sales business with respect to the gross
margins that are generated. The housing and timeshare operations generated
gross margins for the three months ended June 26, 1994 of 19% and 66%,
respectively. These operations, when combined with the 56% margins produced by
the core retail land sales business, reduced the overall consolidated gross
margin to 51% for the current period.

the three months ended on the dates indicated.

periods.
The Company has experienced significant increases in parcels sold in the
Southeast and Southwest and intends to continue expansion in these areas
subject to changing market conditions. Moreover, management expects increased
sales activity in the West in upcoming quarters due to several recent large
acquisitions of inventory in this region. The low number of parcels sold in
the Northeast geographic region (comprised of New York, New Hampshire, Maine,
Vermont, Connecticut and Massachusetts) resulted in part from the effects of
the continuing soft economy in that region and in part from the Company's
ongoing effort to de-emphasize its operations in the Northeast in favor of a
broader geographic distribution. The Company intends to continue to reduce
inventory in the Northeast while increasing inventory in geographic areas with
more stimulated real estate market conditions. The reduction in parcels sold in
the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest geographic regions resulted from decreased demand
for certain properties in these markets. The Company continues to liquidate
unprofitable operations in these regions.
The substantial increase in the average sales price per parcel from June 27,
1993 to June 26, 1994 in the Midwestern and Southwestern regions was
attributable, in large part, to the sale of real estate at higher than
historical selling prices from the sale of lake front properties.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company s housing operation
generated 26 sales at an average sales price of $108,000 contributing a total
of $2.8 million in sales revenue, or approximately 12.7% of total consolidated
revenues from sales of real estate.
The Company s timeshare project generated revenues of $548,000 from the sale of
73 units which reflects an average sales price per unit of $7,512 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1995. Timeshare sales for the period represent approximately
2.5% of consolidated revenues from the sales of real estate.

<PAGE> 18
Interest income decreased 16.8% to $1.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal
1995 compared to $1.7 million for the same quarter of fiscal 1994. Although
interest earnings attributable to the Company's mortgage operations increased
slightly during the current quarter, such increase in earnings was offset by an
aggregate loss of $411,000 attributable to non-recurring transaction costs
associated with the 1994 REMIC, which is included as an offset to interest
income in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June
26, 1994. Interest earnings on the Company s Receivables portfolio experienced
a slight increase during the three months ended June 26, 1994 due to an
increase in the average outstanding principal balance of Receivables. Although
the net outstanding balance of Receivables decreased from $35.9 million at June
27, 1993 to $32.2 million at June 26, 1994, the current period end balance
reflects a $13.5 million reduction in Receivables on May 11, 1994, representing
the Company-owned notes that were included in the 1994 REMIC. The average
interest rate earned on the Company s Receivables portfolio remained unchanged
at approximately 11% at June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993. However, the Company
anticipates that the average interest rate earned on the Company s Receivables
will increase in the coming quarters due to indexing of the portfolio on the
anniversary dates of individual prime-based adjustable rate Receivables.
S,G&A expense totaled $8.7 million and $5.9 million for the three months ended
June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively. The increase in S,G&A costs is
attributable to field operating expenses, a significant portion of which are
variable in relation to sales and profitability levels, and increased
proportionally to the corresponding increase in revenues from the sale of real
estate. General and administrative expenses associated with corporate overhead
remained flat at approximately $2.1 million for both periods, despite the 65.5%
increase in sales of real estate. As a percentage of sales of real estate,
total field S,G&A expenses were 29.7% and 27.8% for the three months ended June
26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively. The slight increase for the current
period is attributable to increased selling expense, which includes
advertising, marketing and commissions. Selling expense as a percentage of
sales of real estate increased from 16.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 1994
to 18.1% for the same period of fiscal 1995. The increase for the current
period is primarily attributable to start-up advertising costs associated with
the Company s timeshare operations.
Interest expense totaled $1.8 million and $1.6 million for the first quarters
of fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. The rise in interest expense was
primarily attributable to an increase in the average outstanding borrowings
under the Company's mortgage-backed credit facilities. Although the
outstanding balance of mortgage-backed notes payable decreased from $18.8
million at June 27, 1993 to $17.9 million at June 26, 1994, the current period
end outstanding borrowings reflect an aggregate paydown of approximately $11.1
million on May 11, 1994 from a portion of the proceeds from the 1994 REMIC.
The Company recorded provisions for loan losses totaling $165,000 and $150,000
for the three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively. In
addition to the provision recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the
Company also increased the reserve for loan losses by $114,000 to provide for a
reserve against certain non-conforming notes that were reacquired in connection
with the 1994 REMIC from the retirement of previously issued mortgage-backed
securities. Such charge was included in the $411,000 net loss on the 1994
REMIC. During the three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, the
Company utilized $218,000 and $231,000, respectively, of its reserves for loan
losses.
Income from consolidated operations was $2.1 million and $1.1 million for the
three months ended June 26, 1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively. The
improvement for the current period is primarily the result of increased sales
of real estate at higher gross margins attributable to the Company s core
retail land sales business.
Gains and losses from sources other than normal operating activities of the
Company are reported separately as other income (expense). Other income for
the first quarter of fiscal 1994 includes non-recurring income of approximately
$550,000 associated with the settlement of certain litigation. Other income
for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was not material to the Company s results
of operations.

The Company recorded a tax provision of 41% of pre-tax income for the three
months ended June 26, 1994, which represents an increase in the effective rate
from the provision of 38% of pre-tax income recorded for the three months ended
June 27, 1993. The increase in the effective tax rate for the current period
reflects the full utilization of the Company s net operating loss carryforwards
associated with state income taxes in fiscal 1994.
Net income was $1.3 million and $987,000 for the three months ended June 26,
1994 and June 27, 1993, respectively.
