NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - MARCH 31, 2000 (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - Management's Opinion Regarding Interim Financial Statements

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations
for the interim periods included herein have been made.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 1999 to
conform to the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000. In
addition, certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 1999 to
reflect discontinued operations of the Company's small ticket equipment leasing
business.

         The accounting policies followed by the Company, except as set forth in
Note 2, are set forth in Note 2 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1999.

NOTE 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Other Assets

         Included in other assets are intangible assets that consist primarily
of contracts acquired through acquisitions recorded at fair value on their
acquisition dates, the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the
net assets of a business acquired (goodwill) and deferred financing costs. The
contracts acquired are being amortized on a declining balance method, except for
a syndication network which is being amortized on a straight-line basis, over
their respective estimated lives, ranging from five to 30 years, goodwill is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 15 to 30
years, deferred financing costs are being amortized over the terms of the
related loans (two to seven years) and others costs are being amortized over
varying periods of up to five years.

         Other assets consist of the following:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value:

         For cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.

         For investments in real estate loans, because each loan is a unique
transaction involving a discrete property, it is impractical to determine their
fair values. However, the Company believes the carrying amounts of the loans are
reasonable estimates of their fair value considering the nature of the loans and
the estimated yield relative to the risks involved.

NOTE 5 - Investments in Real Estate Loans

         The Company has primarily focused its real estate activities on the
purchase of income producing commercial mortgage loans at a discount from both
the face value of such mortgage loans and the appraised value of the properties
underlying the mortgage loans. The Company records as income the accretion of a
portion of the difference between its cost basis in a commercial mortgage loan
and the sum of projected cash flows therefrom. Cash received by the Company for
payment on each mortgage is allocated between principal and interest. This
accretion of discount amounted to $754,000 and $2.7 million during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and $2.5 million and $5.6
million during the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As
the Company sells senior lien interests or receives funds from refinancings of
such loans, a portion of the cash received is employed to reduce the cumulative
accretion of discount included in the carrying value of the Company's
investments in real estate loans.

         At March 31, 2000, the Company held commercial mortgage loans having
aggregate face values of $700.3 million, which were being carried at aggregate
cost of $183.6 million, including cumulative accretion. The following is a
summary of the changes in the carrying value of the Company's investments in
real estate loans for the periods indicated:

NOTE 8 - Public Offering of Units by Partnership

         In January 2000, the Company's natural gas gathering operations were
sold to a master limited partnership ("MLP"), which sold 1,500,000 common units
to the public. The Company received $14.0 million (after offering expenses) for
the gathering systems, and the MLP issued to the Company 1,641,026 subordinated
units constituting a 51% limited partner interest in the MLP. Because the
Company owns more than 50% of the MLP, the assets of the MLP are consolidated
with the Company and the common units sold to the public are shown as a minority
interest on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Overview of Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000

         The Company's gross revenues were $29.1 million in the second quarter
of fiscal 2000, an increase of $3.5 million (14%) from $25.6 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in total revenues during the second
quarter of fiscal 2000 was primarily due to an increase of $9.3 million (67%)
in energy revenues to $23.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as
compared to $14.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 1999, partially offset
by a $6.0 million (61%) decrease, from $9.8 million in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999 to $3.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000, in real estate
finance revenues. The increase in energy revenues was principally due to
increases of $6.1 million (75%) in well drilling revenues and $2.9 million
(120%) in production revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 as compared
to the second quarter of fiscal 1999.

         In February 2000, the Company adopted a plan to sell its small ticket
leasing business. The Company anticipates that the business will be sold by
September 30, 2000. As a result, the Company's consolidated statements of income
for continuing operations excludes leasing operations. The net effect of these
operations is, however, set forth in the consolidated statements of income under
discontinued operations. In addition, the assets and liabilities pertaining to
equipment leasing are not shown broadly on the Company's consolidated balance
sheet as of March 31, 2000; rather, they are shown on a net basis under net
assets of discontinued operations.

         The Company's revenues from continuing operations, expressed as a
percentage of its total revenues from continuing operations, were distributed
across its operating segments as follows:

and $19.8 million in the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31,
1999. The decrease was attributable to the following:

         (i)      A decrease of $2.9 million (47%) and $4.1 million (31%) in
                  interest income in the fiscal quarter and six months ended
                  March 31, 2000, respectively, as compared to the prior year,
                  including a decrease of $1.9 million and $3.1 million of
                  accretion of discount in the same respective periods. The
                  decrease in interest income was caused primarily by the
                  repayment of one loan in the third fiscal quarter of 1999, the
                  repayment of another loan in the first fiscal quarter of 2000,
                  and by the cessation of accretion for two loans in the quarter
                  ended March 31, 2000. The average accretion rate (accreted
                  discount divided by the book value of average loan balances)
                  on commercial mortgage loans held decreased to 2% in the
                  quarter ended March 31, 2000 as compared to 5% in the quarter
                  ended March 31, 1999.

         (ii)     A decrease of $3.2 million (93%) and $4.1 million (94%) in fee
                  income during the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000
                  as compared to the prior year. This decrease was the result
                  primarily of a one-time fee of $3.4 million earned in the
                  second quarter of fiscal 1999 for services rendered to an
                  existing borrower in connection with the operation, leasing
                  and supervision of the collateral securing one of the
                  Company's loans. No comparable fees were earned during the
                  quarter ended March 31, 2000.

         (iii)    A decrease of $2.4 million in gains from sales of senior lien
                  interests. The Company sold senior lien interests in two loans
                  in the six months ended March 31, 1999 resulting in proceeds
                  of $5.7 million; no such gains were recognized in the quarter
                  ended March 31, 2000. As set forth in the Company's Annual
                  Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 1999, the Company made a
                  strategic decision effective January 1, 1999 to structure most
                  future senior lien transactions as financings rather than
                  sales.

         During the six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company acquired no
loans as compared to the purchase and origination of three loans for a cost of
$79.9 million during the six months ended March 31, 1999.

         As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company's yield (gross real
estate finance revenues, including gains resulting from refinancings, sales of
loans and sales of senior lien interests in loans, divided by the book value of
average loan balances) decreased to 8% and 10% in the second fiscal quarter and
six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the 17% in both the second fiscal
quarter and six months ended March 31, 1999.

         Costs and expenses of the Company's real estate finance operations were
$721,000 and $1.5 million in the second fiscal quarter and six months ended
March 31, 2000, a decrease of $453,000 (39%) and $197,000 (12%) from $1.2
million and $1.7 million in the same periods of the prior year due to a decrease
in personnel and compensation to existing employees.

         Natural gas revenues were $4.4 million and $8.8 million in the second
fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $2.2 million
(98%) and $4.3 million (95%) from $2.2 million and $4.5 million in the second
fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 1999 due to a 71% and 64% increase
in production volumes and a 26% and 24% increase in the average sales price of
natural gas. Oil revenues were $893,000 and $1.9 million in the second fiscal
quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $693,000 (47%) and
$1.5 million (416%) from $200,000 and $372,000 in the second fiscal quarter and
six months ended March 31, 1999, due to a 117% and 172% increase in production
volumes and a 148% and 107% increase in the average sales price of oil during
the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. Both gas and oil volumes continued to be favorably impacted by the
acquisition of The Atlas Group, Inc. at the end of fiscal 1998 and Viking in
August 1999.

           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. -  (Continued)


Results of Operations: Energy - (Continued)

         Without the addition of Viking, gas production revenues would have been
$3.0 million and $6.2 million for the second quarter and first six months of
fiscal 2000, resulting in an overall increase of $2.4 million (25%) and $1.4
million (30%) compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
1999. Average daily gas production volumes would have been 11,404 mcf and 11,532
mcf for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2000, a 6% and 8%
increase compared to the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1999. Oil
production revenues would have been $336,000 and $652,000 for the second quarter
and first six months of fiscal 2000, resulting in an overall increase of
$148,000 (79%) and $292,000 (81%) compared to the second quarter and first six
months of fiscal 1999. Average daily oil production volumes would have been 145
barrels and 160 barrels for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal
2000, a 30% and 11% decrease compared to the second quarter and first six months
of fiscal 1999.

         Well drilling revenues and expenses in the second fiscal quarter and
six months ended March 31, 2000 represent the billings and costs associated with
the completion of 78 and 115 wells for partnerships sponsored by Atlas America,
Inc. and Viking in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2000 as
compared to 39 and 92 wells in the second quarter and first six months ended of
fiscal 1999.

         Well services revenues and related costs increased significantly as a
result of an increase in the number of wells operated due to the acquisition of
Viking and the addition of wells drilled.

         Production costs (excluding exploration costs of $120,000 and $634,000)
increased $1.3 million (143%) and $2.2 million (110%) to $1.8 million and $3.7
million in the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to the same periods in the prior year, as a result of the acquisition
of the interests in producing properties referred to above.

         Amortization of oil and gas properties as a percentage of oil and gas
production revenues was 25% for the second fiscal quarter and 26% for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 compared to 25% in both the second fiscal quarter
and six months ended March 31, 1999. The variance from period to period is
directly attributable to changes in the Company's oil and gas reserve
quantities, product prices and fluctuations in the depletable cost basis of oil
and gas.


Results of Operations: Other Revenues, Costs and Expenses

         Interest and other income was $2.0 million and $4.6 million in the
second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of
$177,000 (10%) and $1.1 million (30%) as compared to $1.8 million and $3.5
million during the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 1999.
The increase for the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the six
months ended March 31, 1999 is primarily attributable to an increase in
intercompany interest on increased borrowing related to the Company's
discontinued small ticket equipment leasing subsidiary.

         General and administrative expenses were $2.0 million and $3.8 million
in the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000, an increase of
$35,000 (2%) and $896,000 (30%) as compared to the second fiscal quarter and six
months ended March 31, 1999, primarily as a result of hiring additional
corporate staff, increases in compensation, an increase in accrued pension
benefits and an increase in occupancy costs as the Company leased additional
office space to accommodate its larger staff.

         Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense was $2.5 million and
$5.1 million in the second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000,
an increase of $1.2 million (91%) and $2.5 million (94%) as compared to $1.3
million and $2.6 million for the second fiscal quarter and six months ended
March 31, 1999. These increases primarily resulted from the acquisition of
Viking as described above.

Results of Operations: Other Revenues, Costs and Expenses - (Continued)

         Interest expense was $4.5 million and $9.2 million in the second fiscal
quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000 an increase of $465,000 (12%) and
$1.3 million (16%) as compared to $4.0 million and $7.9 million during the
second fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 1999. These increases are
primarily due to increased average borrowings outstanding from the Company's
credit facilities and higher interest rates as compared to the prior year
period.

         Provision for possible losses was $225,000 and $445,000 for the second
fiscal quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000 an increase of $12,000 (6%)
and $120,000 (37%), as compared to $213,000 and $325,000 in the second fiscal
quarter and six months ended March 31, 1999.

         The effective tax rate increased to 32% in the second fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 2000 from 31% in the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Liquidity.  During the six months ended March 31, 2000, the principal
sources of liquidity for the Company's continuing operations were:

         o        cash from continuing operations,
         o        sales of real estate loans and properties owned which resulted
                  in net proceeds of approximately $13.0 million,
         o        existing credit facilities, and
         o        a $3.0 million increase in funds available under an existing
                  real estate line of credit.

In addition, during the period the Company obtained $14.0 million from the sale
of natural gas gathering systems to Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P., a master
limited partnership whose general partner is a subsidiary of the Company and in
which the Company is a limited partner. For the period, the Company's cash flows
from continuing operations were positive. As a consequence, the Company believes
that liquidity for its continuing operations is adequate.

         Liquidity for the Company's discontinued operation, equipment leasing,
was provided primarily by a combination of warehouse lines of credit, term loan
facilities and purchase facilities extended by banks and other institutional
lenders. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company advanced
approximately $11.0 million of cash to this operation, all of which remains
outstanding. Following that advance, the Company's equipment leasing operation
has required only temporary cash advances from the Company, all of which have
been repaid. The Company anticipates that, other than temporary advances similar
to those previously extended, its equipment leasing operation will not require
the commitment of significant funds before its anticipated disposition.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. -  (Continued)


Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued)

         Capital Resources. The Company has historically derived its capital
resources from public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, lines
of credit, sales of senior lien interests in or borrower refinancings of
commercial mortgage loans and, with respect to equipment leasing, warehouse
credit facilities and commercial paper and term loan securitizations. As a
result of the continued depressed price of the Company's common stock, the
Company does not believe it will be able to obtain additional capital resources
from public or private securities markets on acceptable terms. Moreover, since
the Company did not acquire any real estate loans during the period, it does not
anticipate generating material capital resources from senior lien financing of
real estate loans except for approximately $8.0 million of senior lien financing
involving loans currently in its portfolio that is under negotiation. There can
be no assurance that such financing will ultimately be obtained or as to its
timing. As a consequence, the Company believes that its principal sources of
capital resources for the remainder of fiscal 2000 will be its existing lines of
credit, which currently have $5.4 million of funds availability, and the
proceeds of the anticipated disposition of its equipment leasing operation.
There can be no assurance, however, that the disposition will be consummated, or
as to the timing or amount of net proceeds of any such disposition. As a
consequence, since the Company believes that its future growth and earnings will
depend upon its ability to generate material amounts of capital resources, the
Company's ability to generate growth in its continuing real estate finance and
energy operations may be restricted, which could materially affect the Company's
earnings potential.

         Sources and Uses of Cash. Sources and (uses) of cash for the six month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

six months of fiscal 2000 was $10.3 million whereas net cash used in operating
activities was $2.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 1999, a net
increase of $12.9 million, primarily as a result of the following:

                  amortization

         o        a $9.5 million increase in interest collection net of
                  accretion of discount, partially offset by

         o        a $2.9 million decrease in deferred taxes.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. -  (Continued)


Liquidity and Capital Resources - (Continued)

         The Company's net cash provided by investing activities was $39.5
million for the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to net cash used in
investing activities of $90.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999, a
net increase of $130.1 million. The change was primarily a result of the
following:

         o        In energy, cash used increased $4.8 million as a result of a
                  $2.0 million increase in capital expenditures and other
                  assets, coupled with a $2.8 million decrease in proceeds from
                  asset sales.

         o        In real estate finance, there was $65.9 million in principal
                  payments received in the six months ended March 31, 2000
                  compared to $0 in the six months ended March 31, 1999. In
                  addition, the Company invested $1.9 million in real estate
                  loans and ventures for the six months ended March 31, 2000 as
                  compared to $85.2 million for the six months ended March 31,
                  1999. This was offset by $788,000 in proceeds from loan sales
                  for the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the
                  $8.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999.

         The Company's net cash used in financing activities was $62.7 million
for the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to net cash provided by
financing activities of $85.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999.
The net decrease was $148.6 million and was primarily attributable to the
following:

         o        $75.7 million of payments on the Company's net borrowings for
                  the six months ended March 31, 2000

         o        $86.0 million of additional net borrowings for the six months
                  ended March 31, 1999

         o        $14.0 million of net proceeds from the sale of gathering
                  systems to Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. during the six months
                  ended March 31, 2000


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         General. During the six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's
loans receivable did not undergo material change other than changes resulting
from normally recurring debt service payments received and the sale of two
loans. The Company's debt generally did not undergo material change other than
changes resulting from normally recurring debt service payments, except that
interest rates on two loans payable were increased as a result of increases in
market interest rates; the credit limit and amount drawn, under one of the
Company's real estate lines of credit was increased; and the revolving loan
attributed to the Company's energy operations was paid down in part. The Company
believes that the net effect on its interest expense of the changes in rate was
not material.

         Real Estate. During the six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's
outstanding loans receivable balance decreased $12.2 million (4.9%) to $238.3
million in the aggregate, its carried cost of loans decreased $9.4 million
(6.6%) to $134.6 million in the aggregate and the principal balance of related
senior lien interests decreased $16.4 million (6.0%) to $254.0 million in the
aggregate. These decreases were principally attributable to the sale of two
loans during the first quarter of fiscal 2000.

         There are two loans held in the Company's portfolio at March 31, 2000
that may be deemed to be interest rate sensitive. The senior lien interest (in
the amount of $60.0 million) underlying one of the loans was restructured to
become a direct obligation of the partnership owning the property rather than of
the Company's real estate subsidiary. In addition, the interest rates payable
with respect to the senior lien interests underlying both interest rate
sensitive loans increased from 8.25% and 7.875%, respectively, at September 30,
1999 to 8.75% and 8.50%, respectively, at March 31, 2000. The senior lien
interests have caps of 9.0% and 8.875%, respectively at March 31, 2000. The rate
increases resulted from an increase in the LIBOR rate, to which the interest
rates payable with respect to the senior lien interests are linked.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK - (Continued)


         The maximum amount of one of the Company's real estate revolving lines
of credit was increased during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.0
million from $15.0 million at September 30, 1999. In addition, the interest rate
on both of the Company's real estate lines of credit was 9.00% at March 31,
2000, an increase of 75 basis points from September 30, 1999. The interest rate
increase was due to the increase of the prime rate, to which the interest rates
of the lines of credit are linked. The Company drew down the additional $3.0
million made available under the $18.0 million line of credit during the period
and used the proceeds for general business purposes.

         Energy. During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the amount
outstanding under a revolving loan attributable to the Company's energy business
was reduced as a result of the sale of gathering systems of the Company's energy
subsidiaries to Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. ("APL") in connection with APL's
initial public offering. The loan balance as of September 30, 1999 was $45.0
million and the balance as of March 31, 2000 was $27.4 million. The weighted
average interest rate for this facility increased from 7.87% at September 30,
1999 to 8.38% at March 31, 2000, due to an increase in lending rates.
