ITEM 1.   GENERAL INFORMATION

(a)  Date Registrant was organized:               January 18, 1988

     Form of organization:                        Corporation

     State under the laws of which Registrant
          was organized:                          Delaware

(b)  Date on which Registrant's fiscal year ends: December 31


ITEM 2.   TRANSACTION OF SUCCESSION

(a)  Name of each predecessor which had securities registered pursuant to
     Section 12(b) or (g) of the Act at the time of the succession:

          Banyan Mortgage Investment Fund ("Banyan"), a Delaware corporation.

(b)  Describe briefly the transaction of succession and state the basis upon
     which securities of the Registrant have been or are to be issued in
     exchange for or otherwise in respect of securities of any predecessor.

     On December 31, 1996, RGI U.S. Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation
("RGI/US"), was merged with and into the Registrant in accordance with the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the Washington Business
Corporation Act (the "Merger").  The Merger was accomplished pursuant to the
Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 12, 1996, as amended and restated as of
May 20, 1996 by and among RGI/US, RGI Holdings, Inc. ("RGI Holdings") and the
Registrant, together with the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
September 17, 1996.  The Merger occurred following the approval of the Merger by
the stockholders of the Registrant at its annual meeting on December 27, 1996
(the "Annual Meeting).  As a result of the Merger, each of the 1,000 issued and
outstanding shares of RGI/US common stock (all of which was held by RGI
Holdings, Inc., a Washington corporation ("RGI Holdings")) was converted into
4,386,986 newly-issued shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, resulting in RGI
Holdings beneficially owning approximately 79% of the outstanding common stock
of the Registrant and all other stockholders owning approximately 21%.

     At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of Banyan also approved a one-for-
twenty-five reverse stock split and changing the name of the Registrant to
"Legend Properties, Inc."  Upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment of
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment") in connection with
the closing of the Merger, every twenty-five shares of outstanding common stock
was automatically

reclassified, changed and converted into one share of Common Stock.  No
fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with such
conversion, but in lieu thereof, the Corporation will pay a cash adjustment in
respect of any such fractional interest in an amount equal to the fractional
interest multiplied by the average closing price of a share of common stock for
the five days preceding the Annual Meeting ($0.35) multiplied by 25.
