*         At June 30, 1996, NRLP reported a deficit partners' capital.  The
          Company's share of NRLP's revaluation equity at December 31, 1995,
          was $161.5 million.  Revaluation equity is defined as the difference
          between the appraised value of the partnership's real estate,
          adjusted to reflect the partnership's estimate of disposition costs,
          and the amount of the mortgage notes payable and accrued interest
          encumbering such property as reported in NRLP's Annual Report on Form
          10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

The difference between the carrying value of the Company's investment and the
equivalent investee book value is being amortized over the life of the
properties held by each investee.

The Company's management continues to believe that the market value of each of
the REITs and NRLP undervalues their assets and the Company may, therefore,
continue to increase its ownership in these entities in 1996.

   
Set forth below is summarized results of operations for the Company's
equity investees for the six months ended June 30, 1996:
    

   
Equity investees owned over 50%:

Also in May 1996, the Company purchased a 2,271 square foot single family
residence in Dallas, Texas for $266,000 in cash.

In June 1996, the Company purchased 442 acres of partially developed land in
Denver, Colorado for $8.5 million.  In connection with the acquisition, the
Company obtained purchase money financing for $7.5 million and issued 15,000
shares of the Company's Series C 10% cumulative preferred stock with an
aggregate liquidation value of $1.5 million.  The excess financing proceeds of
$500,000 was applied to the various closing costs associated with the
acquisition in addition to $272,000 of such costs paid by the Company.

Also in June 1996, the Company sold a tract of land that was leased under a
long-term land lease for $120,000 in cash.

In July 1996, a newly formed limited partnership of which the Company is the
general partner acquired 580 acres of land in Collin County, Texas for $5.7
million in cash.  The Company paid $100,000 in cash with the remaining $5.6
million being paid by the limited partner.

In October 1995, the Company purchased 92.6 acres of partially developed land
in Las Colinas, Texas.  In February 1996, the Company entered into a contract
to sale 72.5 of the 92.6 acres for $12.9 million in cash.  In July 1996, the
Company closed the first phase of the contract selling 32.3 acres for $4.9
million in cash.  In accordance with the provisions of the term loan, the
Company applied the $4.7 million net proceeds to paydown the term loan in
exchange for that lender's partial release of its collateral interest in such
land.

On June 12, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors announced the resumption of
dividend payments at the initial rate of $.10 per share.  The distribution,
totaling 674,000, was payable on July 8, 1996 to stockholders of record on June
21, 1996.

Also on June 12, 1996, the Company announced the redemption of the share
purchase rights for $.01 per right.  The redemption price, totaling $101,000,
was also paid on July 8, 1996 to stockholders of record on June 21, 1996.

   
The Company expects that funds from existing cash resources, collections on
mortgage notes receivable, sales or refinancing of real estate and/or mortgage
notes receivable, and borrowings against its investments inmarketable equity
securities, mortgage notes receivable and to the extent available, borrowings
from the Company's advisor, will be sufficient to meet the cash requirements
associated with the Company's current and anticipated level of operations,
maturing debt obligations and existing commitments.  To the extent that the
Company's liquidity permits or financing sources are available, the Company may
make investments in real estate, primarily investments in partially developed
and/or raw land, continue making additional investments in real estate entities
and marketable equity securities and fund or acquire mortgage notes.

The Company expects that it will be necessary for it to sell $8.9 million, $6.0
million and $10.3 million of such land during the remainder of 1996 and in each
of the next two years, respectively, to satisfy the debt on its land holdings
as they mature.  If the Company is unable to sell at least the minimum amount
of land to satisfy the debt obligations on such land as it matures, the
Company, if it was not able to extend such debt, would either sell other of its
assets to pay such debt or return the property to the lender.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement (Continued)

impairment of a long-lived asset is recognized, the carrying amount of the
asset shall be reduced by the amount of the impairment, shall be accounted for
as the asset's "new cost" and such new cost shall be depreciated over the
asset's remaining useful life.

SFAS No. 121 further requires that long-lived assets held for sale "...be
reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell."  If
a reduction in a held for sale asset's carrying amount to fair value less cost
to sell is required, a provision for loss shall be recognized by a charge
against earnings.  Subsequent revisions, either upward or downward, to a held
for sale asset's fair value less cost to sell shall be recorded as an
adjustment to the asset's carrying amount, but not in excess of the asset's
carrying amount when originally classified or held for sale.  A corresponding
charge or credit to earnings is to be recognized.   Long-lived assets held for
sale are not to be depreciated.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 effective
January 1, 1996.

   
The adoption of SFAS No. 121 had no effect on the Company's net loss for the
six months ended June 30, 1996, as the Company's one depreciable asset
classified as held for sale is fully depreciated and none of the Company's
other long lived assets are considered to be impaired.
