         The long-term debt maturing over the next five years is as follows:
1996 - $92,000; 1997 - $94,000; 1998 - $97,000; 1999 - $101,000; and
2000 - $105,000.

         The senior secured note payable is collateralized by substantially all
of the Company's oil and gas properties.  Certain credit agreements require the
Company to comply with certain restrictive covenants.  At March 31, 1996, the
Company was in compliance with such covenants.


Note 4 - Formation of Limited Partnerships

         In 1989 and 1990, the Company sponsored two pipeline income program
limited partnerships (the "1989 Program" and "1990 Program") which purchased
pipeline systems from the Company.

         The Company had guaranteed that the limited partners in these programs
would receive cash distributions during each of the first two years of the
operation of the programs equal to 12% of their capital contributions to the
programs.  To the extent that cash flow to the programs was less than 12%, the
Company contributed sufficient capital to allow the guaranteed distributions to
the limited partners to be made.  The Company believes the amount contributed
for such distributions ($693,000), for which it is entitled to be repaid on a
preferential basis upon termination of the programs, will be realized upon
final disposition of the pipelines.

         The limited partners in both programs have the right to sell their
interests in the programs to the Company following the fifth anniversary of the
respective program's closing at a price equal to 4.5 times the cash flow per
unit during the fifth year of partnership operations, subject to a maximum sale
price of $50,000 per unit.  The limited partners may also cause the sale of the
pipelines after the fifth year of the respective partnership's operations.  In
accordance with the terms of the limited partnership agreement, during fiscal
1995 the Company repurchased a total of 20 units from limited partners in the
1989 Program, for a total cost of approximately $240,000.  The Company
purchased four units from limited partners in the 1990 program in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 for approximately $38,000.


Note 5 - Investments in Real Estate

     At March 31, 1996 the Company held real estate loans having aggregate face
values of $77,487,000 which were being carried at aggregate costs of
$20,972,000.  The following is a summary of the changes in the carrying value

As referenced above, in December 1995, the Company sold senior participations
in two real estate loans to an insurance company, pursuant to which the Company
agreed to replace any non-performing loan with a similar but performing loan.
In addition, the Company issued to the insurance company warrants to purchase
65,535 shares of the Company's common stock at the price of $11.75 per share.

Further, as referenced above, owners of two properties on which the Company
held a mortgage note refinanced those properties with unaffiliated parties.
The Company received payments of principal and interest on these notes.

Note 6 - Stock Dividends

         Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues

         Real estate finance revenues represent interest and fees earned and
gains recognized on real estate loans owned by the Company.  Real estate
finance revenues increased to $1,866,000 (6%) in the quarter and $3,951,000
(61%) in the six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the prior year.  This
increase was attributable to gains recognized on the refinancing and sale of
participations in loans held by the Company.  A comparison of the Company's
revenues from real estate follows:

                                Quarter Ended            Six Months Ended

         During the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996, the Company
purchased four and six real estate loans, respectively, for a total cost of
$3,414,000 and $10,800,000, respectively.  During the quarter and six months
ended March 31, 1995, the Company invested $8,000,000 in one loan and
$12,985,000 in five loans, respectively.  In addition, the Company added
$549,000 and $744,000 in the quarter and six months ended March 31, 1996,
compared to $199,000 and $259,000 in the similar periods of the prior year.
All of the loans were purchased at a discount to the original face value.  The
Company intends to pursue similar real estate investment opportunities as they
become available to the extent allowed by the Company's investment capability.

         Equipment leasing represents fees associated with managing limited
partnerships in which the Company is a general partner as well as lease
brokerage fees and the Company's pro rata share of income from these
partnerships.  The Company acquired this business in September, 1995.

         Production revenues for the quarter and six months ended March 31,
1996 decreased 6% and 4%. respectively, compared to the same periods of the
previous year.  A comparison of the Company's revenues, daily production
volumes, and average sales prices follows:

         Natural gas revenues decreased 10% due to a 4% decrease in the average
price per mcf of natural gas and a 6% decrease in production volumes for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, as compared to the prior year.  For the six
months ended March 31, 1996, natural gas revenues decreased 7% due to a 7%
decrease in production volumes, as compared to the prior year.  Oil revenues
increased by 9% due to a 2% increase in production volumes and a 7% increase in
the average price received per barrel of oil for the quarter ended March 31,
1996, as compared to the prior year.  For the six months ended March 31, 1996,
oil revenues increased 5% due to a 2% increase in production volumes and a 3%
increase in the average price received per barrel of oil, as compared to the
prior year.

         Natural gas production volumes in the Company's New York field of
operations for the quarter and six months were down 29% and 21%, respectively,
due to the natural decline in production from existing wells.  Production
volumes in the Company's Ohio fields of operation increased 3% for the quarter
and 9% for the six months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same periods of
the prior year as a result of the acquisition of additional interests in
existing wells from limited partners and other third parties.  The Company
spent a total of $756,000 in the prior two years to acquire these interests.
The Company also participated in the drilling of three successful exploratory
wells and recompleted one successful developmental well during fiscal 1995.
During the first half of fiscal 1996 the Company participated in the drilling
of two successful developmental wells and intends to participate in the
drilling of additional wells during the remainder of fiscal 1996.

         The Company's oil and gas revenues have been and will continue to be
affected by changes in oil and gas prices.  The Company is unable to control or
accurately predict these changes in prices.  The Company's proved developed
reserves are predominantly natural gas.

Costs and Expenses

         Exploration and production expenses decreased $55,000 (13%) for the
quarter and $109,000 (13%) for the six months ended March 31, 1996, compared to
the prior year.  These decreases were primarily attributable to decreased
cleanout and workover costs as compared to the same periods of the prior year.

         Real estate finance expenses decreased 20% for the quarter and 15% for
the six months ended March 31, 1996, compared to the same periods a year ago.
These decreases are a result of lower legal costs associated with the Company's
real estate financing activities.

         Equipment leasing expenses include costs incurred in the managment of
equipment leasing partnerships in which the Company is a general partner.  In
accordance with the terms of the related partnership agreements, the Company
is reimbursed by the partnerships for certain general and administrative
expenses incurred and allocable, directly or indirectly, to the partnerships.
Such reimbursements are included in equipment leasing revenue.


                                      13

         Depreciation and amortization consists primarily of amortization of
oil and gas properties which, as a percentage of oil and gas revenues,
decreased from 28% to 21% in the quarter and 28% to 27% in the first six
months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the prior year.  Variations from period to
period are attributable to changes in the Company's oil and gas reserve
quantities, product prices, and fluctuations in the depletable costs basis of
oil and gas properties.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company had $2,377,000 in cash and cash equivalents on hand at
March 31, 1996.  The Company's ratio of current assets to current liabilities
was 4.7:1 on March 31, 1996, up from 2.9:1 at September 30, 1995.  Working
capital at March 31, 1996 was $3,710,000, up from $2,595,000 at September 30,
1995.

         Cash provided by operating activities increased $92,000 (8%) in the
first half of fiscal 1996 as compared to the prior year.  This increase was the
result of an increase in net income, partially offset by changes in net working
capital.

         The Company invested $10,800,000 in the acquisition of six real estate
loans and advanced $744,000 on existing loans held by the Company during the
first six months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the investment of $12,985,000 in
the acquisition of five real estate loans and $259,000 in advances during the
similar prior periods.  In addition, the Company sold senior participations in
two loans and received proceeds upon the refinancing of two loans amounting to
$10,981,000 in the first six months of fiscal 1996.  No such proceeds were
received in the prior fiscal year.  As a result, the Company's net cash used in
investing activities decreased $11,836,000 during the first quarter of fiscal
1996, as compared to the prior year.

         The Company's cash flow provided by financing activities decreased
$10,031,000 during the first half of fiscal 1996 as compared to the prior year.
During the first half of fiscal 1995, the Company (i) sold a $2,000,000 note,
(ii) borrowed $2,500,000 and (iii) by pledging substantially all of the
Company's oil and gas properties as collateral security for the Company's May
1995 $8,000,000 senior secured note, was able to make available for corporate
investment purposes $5,211,000 in previously restricted cash.  In addition, the
Company resumed the payment of dividends in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995
and paid $358,000 in dividends the first half of fiscal 1996.

         The Company's capital spending is predominantly discretionary--the
ultimate level of spending will depend on, among other things, the Company's
assessment of investment opportunities in the real estate finance, energy and
equipment leasing industries.  In real estate, the Company will continue to
expand its real estate loan portfolio as, and when, economically attractive
opportunities become available.  In energy, the Company will seek to add to its
reserve base through selected acquisition of producing properties and further
development of the Company's mineral interests.

                          CALCULATION OF PRIMARY AND FULLY
                             DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE


     Earnings per common share and common share equivalent are determined by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and
common share equivalents outstanding during each period.  Common share
equivalents consist of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock
options, provided the effect is dilutive, less common shares assumed to have
been purchased with the proceeds therefrom.  Provided below is a table
reconciling common stock outstanding to common stock and common stock
equivalents used to compute earnings per share:
