Mortgage note payable of December 11, 1996
with interest payable monthly based upon the
one-month London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR) plus 3.75%.  The rate at December 31,
1996 was 9.35% with the initial payment due
February 5, 1997.  Payments are contingent on

service is available to fund these payments. 
The outstanding principal and interest is due
at maturity, December 5, 1998.  The

commercial properties in Kansas City, MO and
the related restricted cash and reserve
accounts, a full payment guaranty by the

In the Company's reorganization plan, certain
individuals elected an Alternative Treatment
Plan, whereby holders of certain debentures
elected the option to receive a direct loan
participation interest in a collateral pool
loan involving the Ramada Inn in Phoenix,
AZ.  After December 31, 1994, the electing
Alternative Treatment Plan participants
agreed to expand the collateral pool to
include additional future investments of the
Company.  On the closing date of the
Alternative Treatment Plan of August 31,
1996, the participants elected to substitute
the held debentures totaling $3,062,162 for
the collateral pool loan and to continue the
ratable collateral assignment of the
Company's general partner revenues from a
limited partnership owning commercial
property in Kansas City, MO.  During 1996,
certain participants elected to receive
specific Kansas City, MO industrial revenue
bonds owned by the Company totaling
$2,345,000 which reduced their Alternative
Treatment at the closing date.  Certain
participants elected to convert $675,626 of
their Alternative Treatment debt into
the Company's Debentures which were
simultaneously converted into the Company's
common stock as of June 30, 1997.  In 
addition, the Company paid $299,276 of 
principal reduction of this debt on May 1, 
1997.  The Alternative Treatment is
to be repaid in quarterly installments
including interest at 9% based upon a 20 year
amortization with unpaid principal and
interest due at maturity in December, 2003.     $ 1,160,469    $ 2,119,507

Convertible Subordinated Debentures were
issued January, 1994.  The securities were
issued in the initial aggregate principal
amount of $9,127,752, and bear interest at
the rate of 6% per annum.  Interest accrues
semiannually on January 1 and July 1 of each
year.  The securities mature December, 2003. 
At any time prior to maturity, the securities
are convertible into shares of common stock
of the Company, unless the securities are
called for redemption.  The number of shares
issuable upon conversion is based on the
Company's book value of $.224/share as of the
December 31, 1993 financial statements. 
During 1996, Debentures totaling $3,310,517
were converted into 13,424,933 shares of
common stock.  During the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 Debentures totaling $425,520
were converted into 2,169,464 shares of 
common stock.  Related accrued interest expense
is not subject to conversion to common stock and
the liability is eliminated upon conversion
of the debenture principal.  Accrued interest
of $439,486 and $81,171 eliminated in
conversion was recorded as income in the year
ended December 31, 1996, and the period
ending June 30, 1997 respectively.  At

<<MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS>>

Business Environment
- --------------------

     During 1990 through most of 1993, the United States economy suffered
through a recessionary cycle.  Certain parts of the country were more
greatly impacted by the recession than others.  In particular, the east and
west costs of the United States were significantly affected.  The markets
served by the Company were all affected to varying degrees.  The national
economic environment affected the Company's activities through a reduction
in demand for rental space and a lack of activity in the real estate
market.  In particular, commercial, retail and development activities were
negatively impacted.  The Company's lenders were adversely effected by this
decline which dramatically effected the Company's operations after the
government takeover of the Company's primary lenders.

     The real estate economy, both nationally and the markets served by the
Company, improved during 1994, 1995, 1996 and the first six months of 1997. 
Residential vacancies decreased and an improvement in office market leasing
in the latter part of 1994 and all of 1995 and 1996 has been reported.  The
hotel industry nationally had profitable years in 1994, 1995 and 1996.  In
general, these factors have had a positive impact on the Company's
financial results.

     Due to the number of assets taken through foreclosure and loan
workouts, the normal monthly cash flow of the Company for 1994, 1995 and
the first half of 1996 were adversely affected.  The substantial non-
earning loans in the amount of ($12,962,800 and $13,748,051 in 1995 and
1994 respectively) negatively impacted the Company's cash flow.  The
Company has substantially decreased its non-earning loans through
foreclosures and loan workouts, however, some of these assets are still
under-performing.

     During 1996 and the first six months of 1997, the Company began to
stabilize its monthly cash flow.  This stabilization was enhanced by a
substantial ($19,200,000) refinancing of certain of the Company's real
estate assets in December, 1996.

     The Company is working diligently to complete the full implementation
of the second phase of the Strategic Redirection Plan (SRP) in order to
stabilize the Company's monthly cash flow.  The Company's management and
Board of Trustees believe substantial progress in this stabilization
process was achieved in 1996 and the first six months of 1997.

     The Company's management believes the Company has recovered from its
short-term cash flow problems due to the SRP implementation.

The SRP comprise these phases as follows:

PHASE 1
- -------

ASSET PRESERVATION - The Company is taking steps to protect its interest in
its assets.  The Company has undertaken foreclosures, workouts and
litigation as its primary tools in accomplishing this first phase of the
SRP.  The Company is in the process of negotiating final workouts related
to both of its remaining assets which are under Phase I of the SRP.

PHASE 2
- -------

CASH FLOW ENHANCEMENT - The Company is focusing its energies on the re-
establishing of cash flow.  This phase encompasses asset monitoring,
collection efforts and control procedures over Phase 1 workout programs. 
The ultimate success of this phase will be dependent on the continued turn
around of the general real estate economy.

PHASE 3
- -------

SHAREHOLDER LIQUIDITY - The final phase of the SRP is to provide
shareholders of the Company with liquidity options.  The first and foremost
goal of this phase will be the creation of a marketplace for the Company's
stock.  The ability for Company management to accomplish this phase will be
subject to the marketplace response to the SRP and the conversion of the
Company's convertible Debentures to stock.

Funds from Operations
- ---------------------

     The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts has adopted
a new definition of funds from operations ("FFO").  Under the definition,
FFO represents net income excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring or sales of properties, plus depreciation of real property
and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. 
Under this definition, the Company's FFO is computed as follows:

                                       June 30, 1997     December 31, 1996
                                       --------------     -----------------
Net Income (Loss)                        $(399,065)           $1,550,216

                                         ---------            ----------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     The Company's total assets, before giving effect to the allowance for
losses, was $41,855,124 and $43,947,027 at June 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996 respectively.  Included in total assets at June 30, 1997 were mortgage
loans totaling $5,546,155.  The allowance for possible losses related to
the mortgage notes of the Company was $4,974,901 at June 30, 1997 and
December 31, 1996.  The allowance for possible losses continues to be a
direct result of the under-performance of real estate assets with respect
to certain of the Company's borrowers.  The Company's management, in
determining the reserve for possible loan losses, takes into consideration
a number of factors including property appraisals, the net operating cash
flow of the property, the cost of money expected, capitalization, and
national and local economic and real estate conditions in arriving at its
loan loss evaluation.

     The Company had a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1997 of
$(399,065) or $.0173 per share non-diluted as compared to a profit for the
period ended June 30, 1996 of $1,328,543 or $.22 per share profit non-
diluted.  The primary difference between the six months ended June 30, 1996
to 1997 was an approximate $1,629,087 decline in recoveries for loan
losses and investments.

     Interest and fee revenue on mortgage loans for June 30, 1997 was
$40,201 compared to $150,905 for June 30, 1996.  This decline is a direct
result of the non-earning loans and the increase in real estate owned by
the Company.

     Revenues from rental real estate increased in the period ending June
30, 1997 from June 30, 1996 by $262,019.  This increase was a result of the
Company increased ownership in the River Market project in Kansas City,
Missouri and the continued increases in revenue of the Company's rental
properties.
     
     In June 1994, the Company became owner of a hotel in Phoenix, Arizona. 
This hotel was operated under a receivership lease agreement with Embassy
Properties, Inc. (EPI) in 1994.  No lease revenue was received from the
hotel in 1994.  Beginning January 1, 1995, this hotel was leased to Embassy
Hotel Management Co., Inc. (EHM) under a lease agreement which provides for
the Company to receive a base rent, plus a percentage of gross revenues
over various gross income levels.  The Company recognized $445,177 and
$240,000 of lease revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June
30, 1996 respectively from this hotel.
     
     In September, 1996 the Company acquired an 89.6% general partner
interest in a partnership which owned a hotel in Kansas City, Missouri. 
The partnership leased this hotel to EHM.  The lease agreement provides for
a base rent plus a percentage of gross revenues over various gross income
levels.  The Company recognized $416,041 of lease revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 from this hotel.
     
     The Company recognized revenues of $865,268 June 30, 1996 from a hotel
in which the Company was a seventy-five percent (75%) partner.  The Company
acquired its partners interest on December 31, 1996.  The Company has
leased this hotel to EHM.  This lease provides for a base rent and a
percentage of gross revenue over various gross income levels.  The Company
recognized $280,200 of hotel lease rental revenue for June 30, 1997.
     
     The Company recorded a $324,253 recovery on its previous reserves for
loan and investment losses at June 30, 1997.

     Interest expense increased from $796,621 for June 30, 1996 to
$1,191,983 for June 30, 1997.  This increase was due to a restructuring of
the Company's outstanding debt which included additional debt associated
with the acquisition and expanded ownership in certain real estate assets.

     The Company's general and administrative expenses increased by
$300,453 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  This increase is primarily due to the accrual
of the bonus pool earned for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     The Company's servicing fees declined in the period ending in June 30,
1997 from $27,705 at June 30, 1996 to $17,993.  This decline was a result
of lower loan servicing fees related to the decline in mortgage notes. 
Payroll costs for June 30, 1997 were $246,798 as compared to $225,270 at
June 30, 1996.

     The Company recognized rental real estate operating expenses of
$654,906 and $668,781 for the period June 30, 1997 and 1996 respectively. 
The increase in expenses was related to the Company increased ownership in
the River Market Project in Kansas City and the acquisition and expanded
ownership in certain real estate assets.

     The Company recognized hotel expenses of $706,058 for the period of
June 30, 1996, from a hotel in which the Company was a seventy-five percent
(75%) partner.  The Company acquired the remaining twenty-five percent
partners share in this partnership on December 31, 1996 and leased the
hotel to EHM effective January 1, 1997.

Potential Impact of Known Facts, Commitments, Events
And Uncertainties on Future Operating Results
- ----------------------------------------------------

     The Company is substantially impacted by the general economic trends
in the real estate economy.  As the real estate markets served by the
Company continue to recover the Company's ability to perform under the SRP
is improved.  The Company's Trustees and management believe this improving
trend will continue and will result in the Company stabilizing its monthly
operating cash flow.  In the interim, the Company must complete its debt
restructurings and continue to pursue the sale of one or more of its assets
to continue its operations.<PAGE>
