unaffiliated third party scheduled to close on August 15, 1997. However,

possibility of a seller financed arrangement and alteratively is
considering offering the property for sale again.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
