Occupancy presented above and through this ITEM 2. is without reference to

In September 1997, the Company purchased the Collection, a 267,812 square foot
retail and commercial center in Denver, Colorado, for $19.5 million. The Company
paid $791,000 in cash and assumed existing mortgages totaling $14.7 million, and
issued 400,000 shares of the Company's Series F Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock. See ITEM 5. "MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS." A first mortgage in the amount of $14.2 million bears
interest at 8.64% per annum, requires monthly principal and interest payments of
$116,000 and matures in May 2017. A second lien mortgage in the amount of
$580,000 bears interest at 7% per annum until April 2001, 7.5% per annum from
May 2001 to April 2006, and 8% per annum from May 2006 to May 2010, requires
monthly principal and interest payments of $3,000 and matures in May 2010. The
Company paid a real estate brokerage commission of $646,000 to Carmel Realty
based on the $19.5 million purchase price of the property.
In October 1997, the Company contributed the Denver Merchandise Mart in Denver,
Colorado, to a limited partnership in exchange for $6.0 million in cash, a 1%
managing general partner interest in the partnership, all of the Class B limited
partner units in the partnership and the partnership's assumption of the $23.0
million in mortgage debt secured by such property. The existing general and
limited partners converted their general and limited partner interests into
Class A limited partner units in the partnership. The Class A units have an
agreed value of $1.00 per unit and are entitled to a fixed preferred return of
10% per annum, paid quarterly. The Class A units may be converted into a total
of 529,000 shares of the Company's Series F Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock at any time after the first but not later than the sixth anniversary of
the closing, on the basis of one share of Series F Preferred Stock for each ten
Class A units. See ITEM 5. "MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS."

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
review includes an evaluation of the collateral property securing such note. The
property review generally includes selective property inspections, a review of
the property's current rents compared to market rents, a review of the
property's expenses, a review of maintenance requirements, a review of the
property's cash flow, discussions with the manager of the property and a review
of properties in the surrounding area.
Results of Operations
1997 COMPARED TO 1996. The Company reported a net loss of $2.4 million in 1997
as compared to a net loss of $5.6 million in 1996. The primary factors
contributing to the Company's net loss are discussed in the following
paragraphs.
Sales and cost of sales were $17.9 million and $14.5 million, respectively, in
1997. The Company had no sales or cost of sales prior to May 1997. These items
of revenue and cost relate to Pizza World Supreme, Inc. ("PWSI"), consolidated
in May 1997. See NOTE 7.
"ACQUISITION OF PIZZA WORLD SUPREME, INC."
Rents increased from $20.7 million in 1996 to $29.1 million in 1997. Hotel rents
increased from $6.1 million in 1996 to $12.7 million while rents from other real
estate activities increased from $14.6 million in 1996 to $16.4 million in 1998.
The increase in the hotel rents is due to the acquisition of the four Piccadilly
Hotels in October 1997 and the Company obtaining the Williamsburg Hospitality
House through foreclosure in September 1997. The increase in rents from other
real estate activities is due to the acquisition of the Collection Retail Center
in September 1997.
Property operations expense increased from $15.9 million in 1996 to $24.2
million in 1997. Hotel property operations expense increased from $4.8 million
in 1996 to $9.9 million in 1997 while the other real estate activities property
operations expense increased from $11.1 million in 1996 to $14.3 million in
1997. The increase in hotel property operations expense is due to the
acquisition of the four Piccadilly Hotels and the Company obtaining the
Williamsburg Hospitality House through foreclosure in 1997. The property
operating expenses of other real estate activities increased due to the
acquisition of the Collection Retail Center and twenty-four land parcels in
1997.
Interest income decreased from $4.7 million in 1996 to $2.8 million in 1997.
This decrease is primarily attributable to the sale of two notes receivable and
the payoff of a third note receivable in 1997. Interest income in 1998 is
expected to approximate that in 1997.
Other income decreased from $1.6 million in 1996 to $134,000 in 1997. This
decrease is due in part to recognizing a unrealized gain on marketable equity
securities of $486,000 in 1996 compared to an unrealized loss of $850,000 in
1997. This decrease is also attributable in part to a decrease in dividend
income and net gains on sales of marketable equity securities of $67,000 and
$56,000, respectively.
Interest expense increased from $16.5 million in 1996 to $30.2 million in 1997.
Of this increase, $10.8 million is due to the debt secured by the Best Western
Oceanside Hotel acquired in 1996 and the Williamsburg Hospitality House,
Piccadilly Hotels, Pin Oak land, Scout land, Katy land, McKinney land, Lacy
Longhorn land, Santa Clarita land, Chase Oaks land, Pioneer Crossing land,
Pantex land, Keller land, Perkins land, Rasor land, Dowdy land, Palm Desert land
and LBJ land acquired in 1997, $2.0 million is due to additional borrowings and
a full years interest

The Company recognizes interest income on nonperforming notes receivable on a
cash basis. For the years 1997, 1996 and 1995 unrecognized interest income on
such nonperforming notes receivable totaled $2.2 million, $1.6 million and $1.2
million, respectively.
Notes receivable at December 31, 1997, mature from 1998 to 2014 with interest
rates ranging from 6.0% to 12.9% and a weighted average rate of 12.78%. A small
percentage of these notes receivable carry a variable interest rate. Notes
receivable include notes generated from property sales which have interest rates
adjusted at the time of sale to yield rates ranging from 6% to 14%. Notes
receivable are generally nonrecourse and are generally collateralized by real
estate. Scheduled principal maturities of $31.2 million are due in 1998 of which
$23.2 million is due on nonperforming notes receivable.
At December 31, 1996, a $1.1 million nonrecourse participation was deducted from
notes receivable. Such participation was satisfied in conjunction with the
Company's foreclosure of its $8.9 million junior mortgage note receivable
secured by the Williamsburg Hospitality House, as discussed below.
In August 1990, the Company obtained the Continental Hotel and Casino in Las
Vegas, Nevada, through foreclosure subject to first and second lien mortgages
totaling $10.0 million. In June 1992, the Company sold the hotel and casino
accepting, among other consideration, a $22.0 million wraparound mortgage note
receivable. The Company recorded a deferred gain of $4.6 million in connection
with the sale of the hotel and casino resulting from a disputed third lien
mortgage being subordinated to the Company's wraparound mortgage note
receivable. In March 1997, the wraparound note was modified and extended. In
exchange for the extension, the borrower was required to invest $2.0 million in
improvements to the hotel and casino within four months of the March 1997
modification and an additional $2.0 million prior to December 1997. The borrower
also pledged 1,500,000 shares of common stock in Crowne Ventures, Inc., as
additional collateral. The Company's wraparound mortgage note receivable had a
principal balance of $13.3 million at
