NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the results of
operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, (b)
the financial position at September 30, 1997, and (c) cash flows for the three-
month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, have been made.

    The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as
permitted by Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  The
accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.  The results of operations for the three-
month period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of those
to be expected for the entire year.


NOTE 2 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company decided to terminate
the agency agreements with its licensed agents effective June 30, 1997. The
Company has sold  the existing machines to former licensed agents.  There was
no revenue from discontinued operations in the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
compared to revenue of $83,640 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  At June
30, 1996, management estimated proceeds of $458,607 from the sale of Combi-
Matchers and inventory resulting in a loss of $1,319,956 and a loss from
operations during the disposal period of $262,687, resulting in a total loss
from disposal of $1,582,643.  During fiscal 1997, the Company revised its
estimate to $614,043 in proceeds from disposal of assets and a loss from
operations during the disposal period of $162,123, excluding depreciation,
decreasing the estimated total loss on disposal to $1,326,643.  To date, the
Company has recorded $577,113 in proceeds from disposal of assets, resulting
in a loss of $978,470 and a loss from operations of $278,103, including
depreciation of $114,946. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize
could differ materially in the near term from the amounts originally estimated
as the loss on disposal of the discontinued operations.  The net assets of the
discontinued operations, excluding inter-company assets, at September 30, 1997
are as follows:

Current assets               $ 82,577
Property and equipment, net    50,000
                              -------
 Total assets                 132,597
                              -------
Current liabilities            25,924
                              -------
 Net assets                  $106,653
                              =======


NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT

    On September 30, 1997, the Company closed on a $13,500,000 mortgage
secured by the Imeson Center property located in Jacksonville, Florida.  The
mortgage bears a 9% interest rate with a monthly payment of $113,292 based on
a twenty-five year amortization.  The mortgage matures on October 1, 2002.  As
a requirement of the mortgage, $950,000 was placed in an interest bearing
reserve for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions.  In addition,
$1,372 per month is required to be placed in an interest bearing reserve for
certain future maintenance items.  The mortgage does not allow early repayment
during the first two years of the loan term and provides for an early
repayment penalty of 3%, 2% and 1% of the outstanding loan amount during the
third year, fourth year and first six months of the fifth year of the loan
term, respectively.  As part of the mortgage transaction, all of the assets of
Imeson Center, Inc. were transferred to a new, single-purpose, wholly-owned
subsidiary, Jacksonville Holdings, Inc.


NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERSO EQUITY

    As part of the restructuring in connection with the mortgage loan from
Love Funding Corporation, Jacksonville Holdings, Inc. acquired 5,000,000
shares of Excal Enterprises Series B Participating Preferred Stock.  These
shares are shown as issued but not outstanding and all transactions related to
their issuance have been eliminated in consolidated.

    During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased
26,000 shares of its common stock through open-market purchases at a cost of
$102,030 and received 8,000 shares with a value of $46,480 as payment for
withholding taxes due on exercise of options.  The Company also paid $110,000
for the right to repurchase three options to purchase a total of 285,000
shares of common stock.  Future payments of $110,000, $120,500 and $95,000 are
due upon termination of each of the options but not later than January 15,
1998, January 15, 1999 and January 15, 2000, respectively.  On September 30,
1997, options for the purchase of 25,000 shares of common stock were
exercised, generating $73,000 in proceeds and tax savings for the Company.

    During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company purchased
641,272 shares of its common stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of
$2,116,198.

NOTE 5 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

    Earnings (loss) per common share is based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding and the dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents consisting of stock options and purchase warrants.  Fully diluted
earnings per share are not presented because they approximate earnings per
common share.




Item 2.  ManagementOs Discussion and Analysis.

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
information contained in the financial statements of the Company and the notes
thereto appearing elsewhere herein and in conjunction with ManagementOs
Discussion and Analysis set forth in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997.

Results of Continuing Operations

    Net revenue of the Company consists of commercial real estate rental
revenue from the lease and management of property located in Jacksonville,
Florida (Imeson Center). The property consists of approximately 1,392,000
square feet of warehouse space and 274,000 square feet of office space. The
Company's lease agreements are structured to include a base minimum rental
fee, a contingent rental fee to reimburse the Company for operating expenses,
common area maintenance costs, insurance and property taxes, and a requirement
that the tenant pay for its own utilities.

    Net revenue increased by 45% to $1,167,949 in the first quarter of fiscal
1998 from $806,986 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. This increase was
primarily related to the lease of 139,000 square feet of office space to
Prudential Insurance Company effective June 16, 1997.

    Operating costs increased by 7% to $598,688 in the first quarter of fiscal
1998 from $558,642 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  The increase was the
result of higher costs for property maintenance from the expansion of the
office space at the facility and other general maintenance expenditures.  The
increased costs were partially offset by a decrease in professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily as a result of the
amortization of lease commission costs related to the lease of office space to
Prudential Insurance Company.

    Professional fees related to litigation were $129,000 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 compared to $233,166 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  A
significant portion of the prior year costs were related to the preparation
and trial of the KFM Venture, Inc. lawsuit. The jury found that the contract
was unenforceable and awarded the plaintiff no compensation. In addition, the
judge awarded the Company reimbursement of a limited amount of its costs.

Results of Discontinued Operations

    Until fiscal 1995, the Company derived substantially all of its revenue
from its automotive services operations. The Company's automotive services
revenue significantly declined in fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1996. During the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company decided to terminate the agency
agreements with its licensed agents effective June 30, 1997 and report the
automotive services division as discontinued operations.  There was no revenue
from the automotive services division in the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
compared to revenue of $83,640 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The
decline in revenue was related to the cessation of operations effective June
30, 1997.  Automotive services operating costs, excluding depreciation,
decreased 72% to $47,370 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $168,803 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 as a result of the cessation of operations.
Depreciation and amortization costs decreased from $47,172 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 to $3,114 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, as a
result of the sale of assets of the automotive services division during fiscal
1997.

    At June 30, 1997, management estimated proceeds of $458,607 from the sale
of Combi-Matchers and inventory resulting in a loss of $1,319,956 and a loss
from operations during the disposal period of $262,687, resulting in a total
loss from disposal of $1,582,643.  During fiscal 1997, the Company revised its
estimate to $614,043 in proceeds from disposal of assets and a loss from
operations during the disposal period of $162,123, excluding depreciation,
decreasing the estimated total loss on disposal to $1,326,643.  To date, the
Company has recorded $577,113 in proceeds from disposal of assets, resulting
in a loss of $978,470 and a loss from operations of $278,103, including
depreciation. The amounts the Company will ultimately realize could differ
materially in the near term from the amounts originally estimated as the loss
on disposal of the discontinued operations.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The cash used by operating activities was $1,159,561 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 compared to cash used of $104,007 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997. The other adjustments are primarily the cash operating costs of
the discontinued operations.  The increase in net operating assets in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 includes $951,372 of loan proceeds placed in
reserves for future tenant improvements, leasing commissions and certain items
of maintenance.  The Company also placed $301,219 in escrow for payment of
property taxes and insurance.  In addition, accounts payable and accrued
liabilities were reduced by $388,559.  These liabilities were higher than
normal at June 30, 1997, primarily as a result of costs associated with the
lease of office space to Prudential Insurance Company. In the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 the Company's operations provided $281,207 in working capital
compared to the use of $6,542 in working capital in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997.

    The proceeds from sales of assets in the first quarter of both fiscal 1998
and fiscal 1997 represent proceeds from the sale of the discontinued
operations. Property and equipment additions in the first quarter of both
fiscal 1998 and fiscal 1997 were for equipment, and renovations used at Imeson
Center.

    Cash of $2,124,066 was used by financing activities in the first quarter
of fiscal 1997, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$12,654,994 in the first quarter of  fiscal 1998.  The Company closed on a
mortgage loan in the amount of $13,500,000 on September 30, 1997.  Loan costs
associated with the loan were $692,704, of which $33,160 were incurred in the
prior fiscal year.  The net proceeds of the mortgage are expected to be used
for continued development of the Imeson center property, funding of the
CompanyOs stock repurchase program, and the acquisition of new businesses.
During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company repurchased
26,000 shares of its common stock through open-market purchases at a cost of
$102,030.  The Company also paid $110,000 for the right to repurchase three
options to purchase a total of 285,000 shares of common stock.  Future
payments of $110,000, $120,500 and $95,000 are due upon termination of each of
the options but not later than January 15, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
On September 30, 1997, options for the purchase of 25,000 shares of common
stock were exercised, generating $73,000 in proceeds and tax savings for the
Company.  Of the 25,000 shares, 8,000 shares were turned in to the Company as
payment for withholding taxes due on exercise. During the first quarter of
fiscal 1997, the Company purchased 641,272 shares of its common stock from a
group of shareholders (the "Smith Group") for $2,116,198 as part of settlement
of litigation.  The board of directors believed this action was in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders for several reasons, including:
(i) media coverage of the dispute with the Smith Group had caused concern
among current and prospective tenants for the Imeson Center; (ii) estimated
litigation costs could have exceeded $500,000 and business operations would
have been further disrupted; and (iii) by purchasing the Smith Group shares,
the percentage ownership and share of future returns increased proportionally
for each remaining shareholder.

    The Company did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures
as of September 30, 1997 other than for ordinary expenses incurred during the
usual course of business. The Company is looking for additional tenants for
Imeson Center for the remaining 41,000 square feet of office space. It is
expected that any new tenant will require the Company to incur significant
costs related to renovation of the property to meet the tenant's needs.
Additionally, the Company is considering opportunities to develop the
outparcels of the Imeson Center. Although the Company has not identified any
specific acquisition opportunities, management is spending resources to
identify potential opportunities to expand the Company's business operations
into other areas. Any new business operation will likely involve a substantial
commitment of Company resources and a significant degree of risk. The Company
also has potential liability related to litigation. The Company believes the
proceeds from the recent mortgage obtained on its Imeson Center property will
be sufficient to meet its needs for at least the next year.  However, any of
the above mentioned items could require significant capital resources in
excess of the Company's liquidity, requiring it to raise additional capital
through public or private debt or equity financing. The availability of these
capital sources will depend upon prevailing market conditions, interest rates,
and the then existing financial position and results of operations of the
Company. Therefore, no assurances can be made by the Company that such
additional capital will be available.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. - Legal Proceedings

    No material events have occurred in the Company's ongoing litigation
matters other than those described below.  For the history of such litigation,
please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997.

ASX Investment Corporation

    On October 30, 1997, the United States District Court granted the
Company's motion to dismiss with prejudice as to plaintiff ASX Investment
Corporation.  The Court denied the motion as to plaintiff Steve Rosner,
stating that based upon the record before it at that time it could not
determine if Rosner was sufficiently connected to ASX to grant the Company's
motion.  The Court suggested in its order that if the Company could show such
a connection, it would entertain a further motion directed to dismissing
Rosner's claim.  The Company intends to take the necessary discovery to have
the claim by Rosner dismissed.  In addition, the Court granted the Company's
motion for summary judgment  in a separate class-action suit filed by Rosner.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities

    The Company designated 5,000,000 of its 7,500,000 shares of preferred
stock as Series B Participating Preferred Stock and issued all 5,000,000
shares to Jacksonville Holdings, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary.  The Series
B Participating Preferred Stock pays a quarterly dividend equal to 6% of the
$2.00 per share liquidation value.  No dividends can be paid on the Company's
common shares and the Company can not redeem, purchase, or otherwise acquire
for consideration any shares of its common stock unless and until the
quarterly dividend has been paid on the Series B Participating Preferred
Stock.

             SERIES B PARTICIPATING PREFERRED STOCK
                               OF
                    EXCAL ENTERPRISES, INC.

(Pursuant to Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law)

      EXCAL ENTERPRISES, INC., a corporation organized and existing under  the
General  Corporation  Law  of the State of Delaware  (hereinafter  called  the
"Corporation"), hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted  by
the  Board of Directors of the Corporation as required by Section 151  of  the
General Corporation Law by unanimous written consent on September 29, 1997:

      RESOLVED,  that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested  in  the
Board  of  Directors  of this Corporation (hereinafter called  the  "Board  of
Directors" or the "Board"), in accordance with the provisions of the  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors hereby
creates a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred
Stock"),  of the Corporation and hereby states the designation and  number  of
shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences and limitations thereof  as
follows:

      Section 1.  Designation and Amount.  The shares of such series shall  be
designated  as  the "Series B Participating Preferred Stock"  (the  "Series  B
Preferred  Stock").  The number of shares constituting the Series B  Preferred
Stock shall be 5,000,000.  Such number of shares may be increased or decreased
by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided that such increase, together
with  the  aggregate  number of authorized shares  of  all  other  series'  of
preferred  stock  of  the Corporation, does not exceed  the  total  number  of
authorized  shares of preferred stock of the Corporation and provided  further
that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
to a number less than the number of shares of such series then outstanding.

     Section 2.  Dividends and Distributions.

           (A)   The  holders  of  shares  of Series  B  Preferred  Stock,  in
     preference  to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock  and  in
     preference to the holders of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share  of
     the  Corporation  (the "Common Stock"), and in preference  to  any  other
     junior  stock, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared  by
     the  Board  of Directors out of funds legally available for the  purpose,
     preferential  dividends, payable in cash on the  first  day  of  January,
     April,  July, and October of each year (each such date being referred  to
     herein  as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the  first
     Quarterly  Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a  share  or
     fractional  share  of  Series B Preferred Stock,  at  a  rate  per  annum
     (rounded  to  the  nearest  cent)  equal  to  six  percent  (6%)  of  the
     Liquidation Value of the Series B Preferred Stock, as defined in  Section
     6 hereof.

          (B)  Dividends shall begin to accrue on outstanding shares of Series
     B  Preferred Stock from the Quarterly Dividend Payment Date following the
     date of issue of such shares, unless the date of issue of such shares  is
     prior  to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment  Date,
     in  which  case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue  from  the
     date  of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly
     Dividend  Payment  Date  or  is a date after  the  record  date  for  the
     determination  of holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock  entitled
     to  receive  a  quarterly  dividend and before  such  Quarterly  Dividend
     Payment  Date,  in either of which events such dividends shall  begin  to
     accrue  and  be  cumulative from such Quarterly  Dividend  Payment  Date.
     Dividends  paid on the shares of Series B Preferred Stock  in  an  amount
     less  than  the  total amount of such dividends at the time  accrued  and
     payable  on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share  by  share
     basis  among  all  such  shares at the time outstanding.   The  Board  of
     Directors  may  fix  a record date for the determination  of  holders  of
     shares  of  Series  B Preferred Stock entitled to receive  payment  of  a
     dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not
     more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

     Section 3.  Voting Rights.  Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock
shall have no voting rights.

     Section 4.  Certain Restrictions.

           (A)   In  the event that quarterly dividends or other dividends  or
     distributions  payable on the Series B Preferred  Stock  as  provided  in
     Section 2 are unpaid, the Corporation shall not in such quarter:

                      (i)   declare  or  pay  dividends,  or  make  any  other
          distributions, on any share of stock ranking junior  (either  as  to
          dividends  or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding  up)  to  the
          Series B Preferred Stock;

                      (ii)  declare  or  pay  dividends,  or  make  any  other
          distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as
          to  dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding  up)  with
          the  Series B Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on  the
          Series  B  Preferred  Stock  and all  such  parity  stock  on  which
          dividends  are  payable  or in arrears in proportion  to  the  total
          amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

                      (iii)  redeem  or  purchase  or  otherwise  acquire  for
          consideration  shares  of any stock ranking  junior  (either  as  to
          dividends  or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding  up)  to  the
          Series  B Preferred Stock, provided that the corporation may at  any
          time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior
          stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking
          junior  (both  as to dividends and upon dissolution, liquidation  or
          winding up) to the Series B Preferred Stock; or

                     (iv) purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration  any
          shares  of Series B Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock  ranking
          on  a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, except in accordance
          with  a  purchase  offer  made  in writing  or  by  publication  (as
          determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of such  shares
          upon  such  terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration  of
          the  respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights  and
          preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in
          good  faith  will result in fair and equitable treatment  among  the
          respective series or classes.

           (B)   The  Corporation  shall  not permit  any  subsidiary  of  the
     Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares
     of stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph
     (A)  of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such
     time and in such manner.

      Section  5.  Reacquired Shares.  Any shares of Series B Preferred  Stock
redeemed,  purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation  in  any  manner
whatsoever  shall  be  retired  and canceled promptly  after  the  acquisition
thereof.  All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized  but
unissued shares of Preferred Stock without designation as to series and may be
reissued  as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions
and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Restated Certificate  of
Incorporation, or in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of
Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law.

       Section   6.   Liquidation,  Dissolution  or  Winding  Up.   Upon   any
liquidation,  dissolution  or winding up of the Corporation,  no  distribution
shall be made (1) to the holders of shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred
Stock, or any other stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock  upon
liquidation, distribution or winding up, unless prior thereto, the holders  of
shares  of Series B Preferred Stock shall have received $2 per share, plus  an
amount  equal  to  accrued  and  unpaid dividends  and  distributions  thereon
declared for such quarter (the "Liquidation Value"), or (2) to the holders  of
shares  of  stock ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred  Stock  upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, except distributions made  ratably  on
the  Series B Preferred Stock and all such parity stock in proportion  to  the
total  amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon  such
liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

      Section 7.  No Redemption.  Shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall
not be redeemable.

       Section  8.   Amendment.   The  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of  the
Corporation shall not be amended in any manner which would materially alter or
change  the  powers, preferences or special rights of the Series  B  Preferred
Stock  so  as  to affect them adversely without the affirmative  vote  of  the
holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, voting together as a single class.

      IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF, this Certificate of Designations  is  executed  on
behalf of the Corporation by its President this 8th day of October, 1997.
