PROSPECTUS

                  CONSOLIDATED CAPITAL OF NORTH AMERICA, INC.

                            16,830,868 Common Shares

       This Prospectus relates to the sale by certain holders of securities
(the "Selling Shareholders") of Consolidated Capital of North America, Inc.
(the "Company") of the following number of Common Shares, $.01 par value per
share (the "Common Shares"), of the Company: (i) an estimated 7,895,470 Common
Shares issuable upon conversion of $5,000,000 in principal amount of 10%
Convertible Notes of the Company (the "Convertible Notes"), (ii) an estimated
631,644 Common Shares that may be issued as interest on the Convertible Notes
at the option of the Company in lieu of cash interest (the "Interest Shares"),
(iii) an estimated 4,311,294 Common Shares issuable upon conversion of 184
Series C Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company (the "Series C Shares"),
(iv) 2,450,000 Common Shares underlying Warrants of the Company (the
"Warrants"), and (v) 1,542,460 outstanding Common Shares ( the "Outstanding
Shares"). (The shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Convertible
Notes, the Series C Shares and the Warrants, are referred to as the "Conversion
Shares"; the Outstanding Shares, the Interest Shares and the Conversion Shares,
are referred to as the "Shares").  Because the conversion price of the
Convertible Notes and the Series C Shares is related to the market price of the
Common Shares at the time of conversion and the issuance price of the Interest
Shares is related to the market price of the Common Shares at the time of
issuance and because there may be antidilution adjustments to the exercise
price of the Convertible Notes, the Series C Shares and the Warrants and
antidilution adjustments to 269,349 of the Outstanding Shares, the number of
Conversion Shares, Interest Shares and Common Shares which are subject to this
Prospectus is indeterminate and this Prospectus relates to the resale of such
entire indeterminate number of Shares.

       The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Notes, and the consequent number of Shares available for resale under this
Prospectus, is based upon a conversion price which is equal to the lesser of
(i) $1.75 per share and (ii) the following conversion prices: (x) on or after
August 6, 1998 at a per share price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the
arithmetic average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's Common
Shares for the twenty trading days prior to the exercise date of such
conversion and (y) on or after October 5, 1998 at a per share price equal to
seventy-five (75%) of the arithmetic average of the closing bid and ask prices
of the Company's Common Shares for each of the twenty trading days prior to the
exercise date of such conversion.

       The Company has the right, at its sole option, to pay any interest due
on the Convertible Notes in Common Shares of the Company (the "Interest
Shares") based on the arithmetic average of the closing bid and ask price of
the Company's Common Shares for the twenty trading days prior to the interest
payment due date.

       The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C
Shares, and the consequent number of Shares available for resale under this
Prospectus, is based upon a conversion price per Series C Share which is equal
to $10,000 divided by the lesser of (x) $1.75 and (y) seventy five percent
(75%) of the arithmetic average of the closing bid prices for each of the five
trading days prior to the exercise date of any such conversion.

       The Shares covered by this Prospectus are being sold by the Selling
Shareholders identified herein.  See "Selling Shareholders".  Except for the
exercise price of the Warrants, the Company will not receive any part of the
proceeds from the sale of the Shares.  One Selling Shareholder offering 442,000
Shares is paying a pro-rata portion of the expenses incurred by the Company in
connection with the offering.  All other expenses incurred in connection with
the offering by Selling Shareholders are being borne by the Company.

       The Common Shares are quoted on the "OTC Bulletin Board" under the stock
symbol "CDNO".  On July 31, 1998, the closing bid price for the Common Shares
was $.59375 per share and the closing asked price was $.65625 per share.

       THESE SECURITIES INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.  SEE "RISK FACTORS"
COMMENCING ON PAGE 8.

       THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED
UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE
CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


       The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed
information and financial statements (including the notes thereto) appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus.

                                  THE COMPANY

       The Company operates a steel service center, a steel processing facility
and fabricates and sells steel framing for commercial and residential
structures through its two subsidiaries Capitol Metals Co. ("Capitol"), which
was acquired by the Company in January 1998, and Angeles Metal Trim Co.
("Angeles"), which was acquired by the Company in January 1997.

       Capitol is one of the largest flat rolled service facilities in Southern
California.  Capitol sells and processes flat rolled carbon steel products,
which include:

              o      Hot rolled steel
              o      Pickled and oiled steel
              o      Cold rolled steel
              o      Galvanized steel
              o      Aluminized steel

       Capitol processes steel to the precise thickness, length, width, shape,
temper and surface quality specified by its customers.  Value-added processes
provided by Capitol include:

              o      Cutting to length - the cutting of steel into pieces and 
                     along the width of a coil to create sheets or plates.

              o      Blanking - the process in which flat-rolled steel is cut 
                     into precise two dimensional shapes by passing it through 
                     a slitter and leveler.

              o      Leveling - the flattening of steel to uniform tolerances 
                     for proper machining.

              o      Slitting - the cutting of coiled steel to specified 
                     widths along the length of the coil.

              o      Pickling - a chemical treatment to improve surface quality
                     by removing the surface oxidation and scale which develops
                     on the steel shortly after it is hot-rolled.

              o      Edge trimming - a process which removes a specified 
                     portion of the outside edges of coiled steel to produce 
                     uniform width and round or smooth edges.

       Capitol owns three slitting lines, four cut-to-length lines and one
banding line for slit coil packing.  The only toll coil pickling line on the
West Coast capable of handling 40,000 pound coils is owned by Capitol.  This
line has capacity to process over 14,000 tons per month.  Capitol also
warehouses customer owned material.

       Management believes that Capitol's toll pickling line provides a
significant competitive advantage to the Company.  In addition to providing the
only pickling service on the West Coast for 40,000 pound coils, Capitol is able
to offer to its pickling customers customized processing services for steel
owned by such customers or purchased from Capitol as well as storage of such
steel in Capitol's warehouse facility.

       Angeles is in the business of fabricating and selling light gauge steel
framing materials for commercial and residential structures.  Angeles' products
include galvanized steel components, framing materials, studs, tracks, trusses
and joists for domestic and international markets.  Angeles also provides
technical support, engineering and estimating services for specialized
projects, primarily in the residential housing market.  A subsidiary of Angeles
has also developed a proprietary low-cost steel frame housing structure.

       The Company's business strategy is to achieve profitability through
expansion of its existing operations and acquisitions of businesses that are
strategically located or positioned to diversify or enhance the Company's
customer base, product range and geographic coverage.

       The executive offices of the Company are located at 410 17th Street,
Suite 400, Denver, Colorado 80202 and its telephone number is (888) 313-8051.

                                  RISK FACTORS

       The Common Shares offered hereby involves a high degree of risk.  See
"Risk Factors."

                                  THE OFFERING

 Common Shares offered by     An estimated 16,830,868 Common Shares including:
 Selling Shareholders         (i) an estimated 7,895,470 Common Shares issuable
                              upon conversion of $5,000,000 in principal amount
                              of 10% Convertible Notes of the Company (the
                              "Convertible Notes")(1), (ii) an estimated 631,644
                              Common Shares that may be issued as interest on
                              the Convertible Notes at the option of the Company
                              in lieu of cash interest (the "Interest
                              Shares")(2), (iii) an estimated 4,311,294 Common
                              Shares issuable upon conversion of 186 Series C
                              Convertible Preferred Shares of the Company (the
                              "Series C Shares")(3), (iv) 2,450,000 Common
                              Shares underlying Warrants of the Company (the
                              "Warrants")(4), and (v) 1,542,460 outstanding
                              Common Shares (the "Outstanding Shares").  (The
                              shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of the
                              Convertible Notes, the Series C Shares and the
                              Warrants, are referred to as the "Conversion
                              Shares"; the Outstanding Shares, the Interest
                              Shares and the Conversion Shares, are referred to
                              as the "Shares").  Because the conversion price of
                              the Convertible Notes and the Series C Shares is
                              related to the market price of the Common Shares
                              at the time of conversion and the issuance price
                              of the Interest Shares is related to the market
                              price of the Common Shares at the time of issuance
                              and because there may be antidilution adjustments
                              to the exercise price of the Convertible Notes,
                              the Series C Shares and the Warrants and
                              antidilution adjustments to 269,349 of the
                              Outstanding Shares, the number of Conversion
                              Shares, Interest Shares and Outstanding Shares
                              which are subject to this Prospectus is
                              indeterminate and this Prospectus relates to the
                              resale of such entire indeterminate number of
                              Shares.

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

(1)    The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
       Notes, and the consequent number of Shares available for resale under
       this Prospectus, is based upon a conversion price which is equal to the
       lesser of (i) $1.75 per share and (ii) the following conversion prices:
       (x) on or after August 6, 1998 at a per share price equal to eighty
       percent (80%) of the arithmetic average of the closing bid and ask
       prices of the Company's Common Shares for the twenty trading days prior
       to the exercise date of such conversion and (y) on or after October 5,
       1998 a per share price equal to seventy-five (75%) of the arithmetic
       average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's Common Shares
       for each of the twenty trading days prior to the exercise date of such
       conversion.  The Convertible Notes mature on April 8, 1999.  Common
       Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes referenced in
       this Prospectus are based on an assumed conversion date of July 29, 1998
       and an assumed conversion price of $.633275 (80% of $.791594) but this
       Prospectus covers the indeterminate number of Common Shares issuable
       upon conversion of the Convertible Notes based on the conversion price
       in effect at the time of conversion.

(2)    Interest is due on the unpaid principal of the Convertible Notes at the
       rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually on October 1 and April 1
       commencing October 1, 1998.  The Company has the right, at its sole
       option, to pay any interest due on the Convertible Notes in Common
       Shares of the Company (the "Interest Shares") based on the arithmetic
       average of the closing bid and ask price of the Company's Common Shares
       for the twenty trading days prior to the interest payment due date (the
       "Interest Price").  The Interest Shares referenced in this Prospectus
       assume an Interest Price for the Common Shares at the time of issuance
       of $.791594 but this Prospectus covers the indeterminate number of
       Common Shares that may be issued as Interest Shares based on the market
       price at the time of issuance.

(3)    The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C
       Shares, and the consequent number of Shares available for resale under
       this Prospectus, is based upon a conversion price per Series C Share
       which is equal to $10,000 divided by the lesser of (x) $1.75 and (y)
       seventy five percent (75%) of the arithmetic average of the closing bid
       prices for each of the five trading days prior to the exercise date of
       any such conversion.  Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the
       Series C Shares referenced in this Prospectus are based on an assumed
       conversion date of July 29, 1998 and an assumed conversion price of
       $.431438 (75% of $.57525) but this Prospectus covers the indeterminate
       number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Share
       based on the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion.

(4)    The Warrants include warrants to purchase 1,000,000 Common Shares at
       $1.00 per share, warrants to purchase 1,000,000 Common Shares at $.75,
       warrants to purchase 250,000 Common Shares at $2.38 per share and
       warrants to purchase 200,000 Common Shares at $2.00 per share.

(5)    Includes 19,776,867 Common Shares issued and outstanding on August 5,
       1998 and all of the Conversion Shares and the Interest Shares.  Excludes
       1,025,000 Common Shares which are issuable upon exercise of outstanding
       options, 744,000 Common Shares underlying Series A Convertible Preferred
       Shares, 449,000 Common Shares underlying Series B Convertible Preferred

                                  RISK FACTORS


       AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON SHARES OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE
OF RISK.  PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, SHOULD
CAREFULLY CONSIDER, ALONG WITH OTHER MATTERS CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, THE
FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS.

       NEW BUSINESS; OPERATING LOSSES.  Although the Company has existed since
1987, the Company entered a new line of business in January 1997.  Since
commencing its steel operations in January 1997 the Company has incurred
operating and net losses.  No assurance can be given that the Company will
generate an operating profit or achieve profitability in the future.  For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998,
the Company's loss was $2,478,577 and $2,462,732, respectively.  See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Plan of
Operations."

       NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company had an
accumulated deficit of $5,676,769, a working capital deficit of $1,043,275 and
stockholder's deficit of $441,375.  Since January 1997, the Company has
financed its operations with cash available under its credit facilities and
funds advanced under loan arrangements with affiliated entities.  The Company
has also financed its operations through the private placement of capital stock
and convertible securities, including $1,000,000 from the sale of Common Shares
in January 1997, $2,000,000 from the March 1998 sale of Series C Shares and
$5,000,000 from the April and June 1998 issuances of Convertible Notes.

       The Company is in default under the Handel Note assumed in connection
with the acquisition of Capitol Metals (the "Capitol Acquisition") and has an
obligation to repay $450,000 plus accrued interest on such Note.  The Company
is also in default under a $300,000 Note issued in connection with the Capital
Acquisition (the "BINHAD Note").  The Handel Note and the BINHAD Note are
subordinate to the Congress Facility.  No action may be commenced on the Handel
Note or the BINHAD Note until October 12, 1998 and January 12, 1999,
respectively.  Failure to cure such default on such dates will constitute an
event of default under the Congress Facility and the Convertible Notes.

       The Company intends to raise additional capital to fund the repayment of
the Handel Note and working capital requirements of the Company.  There can be
no assurances that such financing will be available to the Company.  The
Company has filed a claim against BINHAD for certain breaches of
representations and warranties by BINHAD in connection with the Capital
Acquisition.  The Company intends to offset such damages against amounts
outstanding under the BINHAD Note.

       The Company will be required to obtain additional lines of credit for
working capital purposes and make periodic public offerings or private
placements in order to meet the liquidity needs of its business.  The Company
believes that the funds raised from the sale of the Series C Preferred Shares,
the sale of the Convertible Notes, operating cash flows of the Company, funds
available under the Congress Facility and funds raised in an equity offering
will provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and
future capital expenditures related to the development of its business for the
next twelve months.  There can be no assurances that financing sources will be
available to the Company in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms. Under
such circumstances, the Company would expect to manage its growth within the
financing available.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Plan of Operations."

       RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S EXPANSION AND ACQUISITION STRATEGY.  The
Company's business strategy is to achieve profitability through expansion of
its existing operations and acquisitions of businesses that are strategically
located or positioned to diversify or enhance the Company's customer base,
product range and geographic coverage.  As these acquisition candidates are
identified, funds will be needed to complete such





                                      -8-
<PAGE>   13
acquisitions.  There can be no assurance that any acquisition will be completed
or that financing will be available for such acquisitions.  In addition, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to identify, acquire or
manage profitably additional businesses or to integrate successfully any
acquired businesses into the Company without substantial costs, delays or other
operational or financial difficulties.  Further, acquisitions involve a number
of special risks, including failure of the acquired business to achieve
expected results, diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key
personnel of the acquired business and risks associated with unanticipated
events or liabilities, some or all of which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.  See "Business."

       RISKS RELATED TO INTERNAL GROWTH AND OPERATING STRATEGIES.  The
Company's business strategy is to achieve profitability of the Company and any
acquired businesses and to increase the net sales of the Company and any
acquired businesses.  Although the Company intends to achieve profitability by
various means, including realizing overhead and purchasing efficiencies, there
can be no assurances that the Company will be able to do so.  The Company's
ability to increase the net sales of the Company and any acquired businesses
and achieve profitability will be affected by various factors, including demand
for products and services, pricing and availability of raw materials, the
Company's ability to expand the range of products and services offered by the
Company and any acquired businesses and the Company's ability to successfully
enter new markets.  Many of these factors are beyond the control of the
Company, and there can be no assurance that the Company's strategies will be
successful or that it will be able to generate cash flow adequate for its
operations and to support internal growth.  See "Business."

       POSSIBLE IMPACT OF VARYING STEEL PRICES.  The steel industry as a whole
is cyclical, and at times pricing and availability of raw materials in the
steel industry can be volatile due to numerous factors beyond the control of
the Company, including general, domestic and international economic conditions,
labor costs, production levels, competition, import duties and tariffs and
currency exchange rates.  This volatility can significantly affect the
availability and cost of raw materials for the Company, and may, therefore,
adversely affect the Company's net sales, operating margin and net income.  The
Company maintains substantial inventories of steel to accommodate the short
lead times and just-in-time delivery requirements of its customers.
Accordingly, the Company purchases steel in an effort to maintain its inventory
at levels that it believes to be appropriate to satisfy the anticipated needs
of its customers based on information derived from customers, market
conditions, historic usage and industry research.  The Company's commitments
for steel purchases are generally at prevailing market prices in effect at the
time the Company places its orders.  The Company has no long-term, fixed price
purchase contracts.  During periods of rising raw materials pricing, there can
be no assurance the Company will be able to pass any portion of such increases
on to customers.  When raw material prices decline, customer demands for lower
prices could result in lower sale prices and, as the Company uses existing
inventory, lower margins.  See "Business."

       COMPETITION.  The steel distribution and servicing industry is highly
fragmented and competitive.  Competition is based on price, service, quality,
availability of products and geographic proximity.  The Company faces
competition from national, regional and local independent steel distributors
and servicing centers, many of which may have greater resources than the
Company.  While the Company believes that it will be able to compete more
effectively as a result of the combined purchasing volume and operational
economies of scale resulting from the recent consolidation of the operations of
Angeles with Capitol, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to compete successfully.  See "Business - Competition."

       REGULATION.  The operations of the Company are subject to extensive
federal, state and local laws and regulations, relating to the protection of
human health and the environment.  In particular, the Company's operations are
subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing
waste disposal, air and water emissions, the handling of hazardous substances,
environment protection, remediation, workplace exposure and other matters.
Hazardous materials that the Company uses in its operations primarily include
lubricants, cleaning solvents and hydrochloric acid used in its pickling
operations.  The Company believes that its facilities are in material
compliance with these laws and regulations and does not believe that future
compliance with such laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect
on its results of operations or financial condition.  However,





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   14
environmental laws are becoming increasingly more stringent and, consequently,
the Company's environmental expenditures and costs for environmental compliance
may increase in the future.  In addition, due to the possibility of
unanticipated regulatory or other developments, the amount and timing of future
environmental expenditures may vary substantially from those currently
anticipated.  See "Business - Government Regulation."

       EXERCISE OF OUTSTANDING CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES; ADDITIONAL DILUTION.  At
August 5, 1998, the Company had outstanding the following securities
convertible into the following number of Common Shares: (i) $5,000,000 of
Convertible Notes convertible into an estimated 7,895,470 Common Shares at an
assumed conversion price of $.633275; (ii) 744,000 Series A Preferred Shares
convertible into 744,000 Common Shares, (iii) 449,000 Series B Preferred Shares
convertible into 449,000 Common Shares; (iv) 186 Series C Shares convertible
into an estimated 4,311,294 Common Shares at an assumed conversion price of
$.431438;  (v) warrants to purchase 1,000,000 Common Shares at an exercise
price of $1.00 per share; (vi) warrants to purchase 1,000,000 Common Shares at
an exercise price of $.75 per share; (vii) warrants to purchase 250,000 Common
Shares at an exercise price of $2.38 per share; (viii) warrants to purchase
200,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and (ix) stock
options to purchase an aggregate of 1,025,000 Common Shares at exercise prices
ranging from $1.22 to $2.08.  All of the foregoing securities are currently
convertible or exercisable other than 975,000 stock options which vest over a
period of one to four years from the date hereof.  In addition, the Company has
the option to pay interest on the Convertible Notes and dividends on the Series
A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Shares in Common
Shares of the Company.   To the extent that the foregoing outstanding
convertible securities are exercised or interest on the Convertible Notes and
dividends on the Preferred Shares is paid in Common Shares, substantial
additional dilution to the interests of the Company's stockholders may occur.

       VARIABILITY OF NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF
CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND SERIES C SHARES.  The number of Common Shares issuable
upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and Series C Shares will depend upon
the market price of the Common Shares at the time of conversion.  If the price
of the Common Shares is less than the assumed conversion prices referenced
herein, the Company will be required to issue substantially more than the
7,895,470 shares assumed hereunder to be issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Notes, substantially more than the 631,644 shares assumed hereunder
to be issued as Interest Shares and substantially more than the 4,311,294
shares assumed hereunder to be issuable upon conversion of the Series C Shares.
In addition, 269,349 Common Shares included herein are subject to increase to
such number of Common Shares, which together with the 269,349 Common Shares,
have a market value of $300,000 on the date 30 days after the date this
Registration Statement is filed with the Commission.

       All Common Shares issuable by the Company upon conversion of the
Convertible Notes, as Interest Shares, upon conversion the Series C Shares  and
upon adjustment of the 269,349 Common Shares are registered hereunder and
included in this Prospectus.  Consequently, all of such Shares will be eligible
for sale in the market place without restriction, except to the extent that any
of the selling holders are deemed to be "affiliates" of the Company at the time
of sale.  No assurance can be given that the trading price of the Company's
Common Stock will not fall significantly below the assumed conversion prices
referenced herein, or that purchasers in this offering will not suffer
significant additional dilution as a result of any such decline in the price of
the Common Shares.

       POTENTIAL EFFECT OF SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE ON PRICE OF COMMON
STOCK.  As of August 5, 1998 there were 19,776,867 Common Shares issued and
outstanding of which approximately eight million Common Shares may be deemed to
be "control" shares.  The remaining outstanding shares may be resold publicly
following their registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or pursuant to an available exemption from registration
(such as provided by Rule 144 following a one year holding period for
previously unregistered shares).  The holders of the control shares have demand
rights to have their shares registered in the future under the Securities Act.
The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-8 for the purpose of
registering all three million shares subject to the Company's 1997 Stock
Incentive Plan under the Securities Act for public resale.  Sales, or the
availability for sale of, substantial amounts of Common Shares in the public
market could





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   15
adversely affect prevailing market prices and the future ability of the Company
to raise equity capital and complete any additional acquisitions for Common
Shares.

       TRADING AND VOLATILITY OF COMMON STOCK.  The Company's outstanding
Common Shares are quoted only on the OTC Bulletin Board, and on July 31, 1998,
the closing bid price was $.59375 per share and the closing ask price was
$.65625 per share.  There can be no assurance that the existing market for the
Company's Common Shares will be maintained or that the holders of Common Shares
will be able to sell the Common Shares should they so desire.  The market price
of the Common Shares has fluctuated significantly and may continue to be highly
volatile.  Furthermore, trading in the stock is thin and because the
Convertible Notes and Series C Shares are convertible at a discount to the
market price, the holders of these securities can convert into Common Shares
and sell such Common Shares at a profit at any time, which may have a
depressive effect on the stock price.  See "Market Prices and Dividends."

       CONTROL BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS.  The existing officers and directors
of the Company and related parties currently control approximately 61% of the
outstanding Common Shares (including shares that may be acquired upon the
exercise of options that are exercisable or will become exercisable within 60
days) and are able to exercise control over the Company's affairs, to elect the
entire Board of Directors and to control the outcome of any matter submitted to
a vote of shareholders.  See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management."

       LACK OF DIVIDENDS ON COMMON SHARES.  The holders of the Company's Series
A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Shares are entitled
to receive, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any
dividend on Common Shares of the Company, dividends at the rate of $0.12, $.012
and $600 per share, respectively, per annum, payable quarterly in cash or at
the option of the Company, in Common Shares. No dividends on the Common Shares
have been paid by the Company to date.  The Company's Loan and Security
Agreement with Congress Financial Corporation (Western) ("Congress") prohibits
the payment of cash dividends on the Common Shares.  The Company currently
intends to retain future earnings to fund the development and growth of its
business and, therefore, does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the
Common Shares within the foreseeable future.  Any future payment of dividends
or Common Shares will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors and
will depend on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and
other factors deemed relevant by its Board of Directors.  See "Market Prices
and Dividends."

       POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CERTAIN CHARTER PROVISIONS.  The
Company's Articles of Incorporation  authorize the Board of Directors to issue,
without stockholder approval, one or more series of preferred shares  having
such preferences, powers and relative, participating, optional and other rights
(including preferences over the Common Shares respecting dividends and
distributions and voting rights) as the Board of Directors may determine.  The
issuance of this "blank-check" preferred shares could render more difficult or
discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a tender
offer, merger, proxy contest or otherwise.  Certain provisions of the Colorado
General Corporation Law may also discourage takeover attempts that have not
been approved by the Board of Directors.  In addition, as permitted by the
Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is divided into
three classes of directors, with each class serving a staggered three-year
term.  This division of the Board of Directors into three classes may tend to
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of the Company and may maintain the incumbency of the Board of
Directors, because such a division generally makes it more difficult for
stockholders to replace a majority of directors.  See "Description of
Securities."

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

       Because the Shares offered hereby are being sold by the Selling
Shareholders, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
Shares.  The Company will receive $2,745,000 if all of the Warrants are
exercised.  The Company will use the proceeds from the exercise of the
Warrants, if any, for working capital purposes.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

       The Shares offered hereby may be sold by the Selling Shareholders or by
pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest (including sales
after exercise of convertible securities).  Such sales may be made in the over-
the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at
prices and at terms then prevailing, at prices related to the then current
market prices or at negotiated prices.  The Shares may be sold by one or more
of the following methods:  (a) a block trade in which the broker or dealer so
engaged will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a
portion of the block as principal in order to consummate the transaction; (b) a
purchase by a broker or dealer as principal, and the resale by such broker or
dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus, including resale to another
broker or dealer; or (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in
which the broker solicits purchasers.  In effecting sales, brokers or dealers
engaged by a Selling Shareholder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to
participate.  Any such brokers or dealers will receive commissions or discounts
from a Selling Stockholder in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the
sale.  Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.  Any gain realized by such a broker or dealer on the sale of
shares which it purchases as a principal may be deemed to be compensation to
the broker or dealer in addition to any commission paid to the broker by a
Selling Shareholder.  The Shares offered hereby will be sold by the Selling
Securityholders (or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in
interest) acting as principals for their own account.  Any commissions or other
fees payable to broker-dealers in connection with any sale of the Shares will
be borne by the Selling Shareholders or other party selling such Shares.

       The Company will not receive any portion of the proceeds of the
securities sold by the Selling Shareholders, but will receive amounts upon
exercise of the Warrants, if any, which funds will be used for working capital.
There is no assurance that the Selling Shareholders will sell any or all of the
securities offered hereby.

       In order to comply with certain state securities laws, if applicable,
the Shares may not be sold in certain states unless the Shares have been
registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration for qualification is available and complied with.

       No underwriting arrangements exist as of the date of this Prospectus for
any Selling Securityholders to sell its shares.  Upon being advised of any
underwriting arrangements that may be entered into by a Selling Securityholder
after the date of this Prospectus, the Company will prepare a supplement to
this Prospectus to disclose such arrangements.

                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

       The following table sets forth as of August 5, 1998, the following
information regarding each Selling Shareholder who is offering Shares pursuant
to this Prospectus:  the name of each Selling Shareholder and the number of
Common Shares owned by each Selling Shareholder before the offering pursuant to
this Prospectus, the amount of Common Shares to be offered for each Selling
Shareholder's account, and the amount and percentage of the Common Shares to be
owned by each Selling Shareholder after the offering pursuant to this
Prospectus is complete.  Information set forth in the following table regarding
the securities owned by each Selling Shareholder is provided to the best
knowledge of the Company based on information furnished to the Company by the
respective Selling Shareholder and/or available to the Company through its
stock transfer records.  No Selling Shareholder has had any position, office,
or other material relationship which the Selling Shareholder has had within the
past three years with the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates.

(a)    Includes the following number of Common Shares of the Company: (i) an
       estimated 7,895,470 Common Shares issuable upon conversion of $5,000,000
       in principal amount of Convertible Notes, (ii) an estimated 631,644
       Common Shares that may be issued as interest on the Convertible Notes at
       the option of the Company in lieu of cash interest, (iii) an estimated
       4,311,294 Common Shares issuable upon conversion of 186 Series C Shares
       of the Company, (iv) 2,450,000 Common Shares underlying Warrants of the
       Company, and (v) 1,542,460 outstanding Common Shares.  Because the
       conversion price of the Convertible Notes and the Series C Shares is
       related to the market price of the Common Shares at the time of
       conversion and the issuance price of the Interest Shares is related to
       the market price of the Common Shares at the time of issuance and
       because there may be antidilution adjustments to the exercise price of
       the Convertible Notes, the Series C Shares and the Warrants and
       antidilution adjustments to 269,349 of the Outstanding Shares, the
       number of Conversion Shares, Interest Shares and Outstanding Shares
       which are subject to this Prospectus is indeterminate and this
       Prospectus relates to the resale of such entire indeterminate number of
       Shares.

       The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
       Notes, and the consequent number of Shares available for resale under
       this Prospectus, is based upon a conversion price which is equal to the
       lesser of (i) $1.75 per share and (ii) the following conversion prices:
       (x) on or after August 6, 1998 at a per share price equal to eighty
       percent (80%) of the arithmetic average of the closing bid and ask
       prices of the Company's Common Shares for the twenty trading days prior
       to the exercise date of such conversion and (y) on or after October 5,
       1998 a per share price equal to seventy-five (75%) of the arithmetic
       average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's Common Shares
       for each of the twenty trading days prior to the exercise date of such
       conversion.  The Convertible Notes mature on April 8, 1999.  Common
       Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes referenced in
       this Prospectus are based on an assumed  conversion date of July 29,
       1998 and an assumed conversion price of $.633275 (80% of $.791594) but
       this Prospectus covers the indeterminate number of Common Shares
       issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes based on the
       conversion price in effect at the time of conversion.

       Interest is due on the unpaid principal of the Convertible Notes at the
       rate of 10% per annum, payable semi-annually on October 1 and April 1
       commencing October 1, 1998.  The Company has the right, at its sole
       option, to pay any interest due on the Convertible Notes in Common
       Shares of the Company (the "Interest Shares") based on the arithmetic
       average of the closing bid and ask price of the Company's Common Shares
       for the twenty trading days prior to the interest payment due date (the
       "Interest Price").  The Interest Shares referenced in this Prospectus
       assume an Interest Price at the time of issuance of $.791594 but this
       Prospectus covers the indeterminate number of Common Shares that may be
       issued as Interest Shares based on the market price at the time of
       issuance.

       The number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C
       Shares, and the consequent number of Shares available for resale under
       this Prospectus, is based upon a conversion price per Series C Share
       which is equal to $10,000 divided by the lesser of (x) $1.75 and (y)
       seventy five percent (75%) of the arithmetic average of the closing bid
       prices for each of the five trading days prior to the exercise date of
       any such conversion.  Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the
       Series C Shares referenced in this Prospectus are based on an assumed
       conversion date of July 29, 1998 and an assumed conversion price of
       $.431438 (75% of $.57525) but this Prospectus covers the indeterminate
       number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series C Share
       based on the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion.

On July 31, 1998, the closing bid and asked quotations for the Company's Common
Shares as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board were $.59375 and $.65625.  The

DIVIDENDS

The holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and
Series C Preferred Shares are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to
any declaration or payment of any dividend on Common Shares of the Company,
dividends at the rate of, $0.12, $.012 and $600 per share, respectively, per
annum, payable quarterly in cash or at the option of the Company, in Common
Shares.

No dividends on the Common Shares have been paid by the Company to date.  The
Company's Loan and Security Agreement with Congress prohibits the payment of
cash dividends on the Common Shares.  The Company currently intends to retain
future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business and,
therefore, does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Shares
within the foreseeable future.  Any future payment of dividends on the Common
Shares will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors and will depend
on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and other factors
deemed relevant by its Board of Directors.

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                  (UNAUDITED)

Below are explanations for the numerical notes used in the Pro Forma Combined
Financial Information:

(1)    To adjust for additional depreciation resulting from the revaluation of
assets as determined by appraisal.  Assets are depreciated over their useful
lives using the straight-line method.

(2)    Amortization of loan fees attributable to the new subordinated debt over
a period of one year.

(3)    To record interest at 12% on the subordinated debt for the year.

(4)    To record interest expense on new debt incurred to finance this
purchase, less reduction for the interest on the old debt.

(5)    Adjustments to reflect the acquisition as of January 1, 1998 such as 
depreciation, amortization and interest were not significant for the 12 day 
period ended January 12, 1998, and therefore not reflected in the pro forma 
combined financial statements.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                             AND PLAN OF OPERATION


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.

INTRODUCTION AND PLAN OF OPERATION

Prior to January 21, 1997, the Company's operations were exclusively in the
real estate business.  On January 21, 1997, Consolidated Land & Cattle Company,
a subsidiary of the Company, merged with Angeles Acquisition Corp. ("Angeles
Acquisition"), a privately held company.  Angeles Acquisition survived the
Merger and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Prior to the
merger Angeles Acquisition had acquired Angeles Metal Trim Co. ("Angeles").
Angeles and its wholly-owned subsidiary fabricate and sell steel framing
materials for commercial and residential structures.

In January 1998, the Company, through Angeles Acquisition, acquired
substantially all of Capitol Metals Co., Inc.'s ("Old Capitol") assets in a
sale approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court (the "Capitol Acquisition").  The
purchase price of Old Capitol's assets were approximately $8,100,000 consisting
of $336,000 in cash, $1,500,000 in promissory notes, $300,000 of Common Shares
of the Company (269,349 Common Shares), the assumption of an outstanding note
of $626,000, the repayment of $4,764,000 of Capitol's previously existing
senior debt and the assumption of approximately $574,000 of costs and expenses
associated with the acquisition.  During February 1998, Angeles Acquisition
changed its corporate name to Capitol Metals Co. ("Capitol").  Capitol operates
a steel service center, selling steel and providing pickling, slitting,
leveling, storage and other processing services to its customers.

With the acquisition of Angeles and Capitol, the Company intends to focus on
the steel frame building business, steel service center operations and
complementary businesses.  Acquisition plans, capital needs and plans to raise
additional capital by the Company are described below under "Liquidity, Capital
Resources and Financial Condition."

The Company's business strategy is to achieve profitability through expansion
of its existing operations and acquisitions of businesses that are
strategically located or positioned to diversify or enhance the Company's
customer base, product range and geographic coverage.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company reported net sales of $5,539,506
as compared with net sales for the first quarter of 1997 of $5,330,147.  Net
sales in the quarter included $2,207,203 of sales of Capitol which was acquired
on January 12, 1998.  Sales in the first quarter of 1998 for Angeles decreased
from $5,330,147 to $2,832,303 for 1998.  This decrease in net sales for Angeles
was mainly a result of insufficient working capital to purchase steel necessary
to produce products.

Cost of goods sold for both entities amounted to $4,905,079 for the first
quarter in 1998 resulting in a gross margin of 11.5% of net sales.  The gross
profit for Angeles amounted to 15% for the first quarter in 1998 and Capitol
generated a gross profit of 8% for the same quarter.  The gross profit for
Angeles for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 amounted to 17.7% or a
reduction of 2.7% as compared to the same period in 1998.  This reduction in
gross profit percentage of Angeles resulted from the impact of decreased sales
without a related decrease in the fixed costs of sales.

Operating expenses increased by $834,297, or 59%, to $2,254,065 for the first
quarter of 1998 from $1,419,768 in the first quarter of 1997.  The increase is
primarily attributable to general and administrative expenses from Capitol.
The Company anticipates that the operating expenses will decrease as a
percentage of sales as the Company combines the operations of Angeles and
Capitol over the next few months.  In addition to the long term reduction in
facilities cost, the combination of the operations of Angeles and Capitol will
allow management to combine several previously duplicated functions, creating
efficiencies and cost savings.  These functions will include:  materials
receiving, slitting operations, purchasing, accounting and other administrative
functions.





                                      -21-
<PAGE>   26
Additionally, as the companies currently use several common suppliers, the
Company believes that the purchasing volume created by the addition of the
Capitol may create reduced pricing for materials and services utilize by both
Angeles and Capitol.

Interest expense increased by $397,260 to $475,258 in the first quarter of 1998
as compared to $77,998 in the first quarter of 1997.  This increase is the
result of the interest expense related to the various financing arrangements
entered into by the Company to provide working capital and the financing
related to the acquisition of Capitol.

The Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of
$1,982,996 as compared to a net loss of $524,190 for the same period in 1997.
The net loss for the Capitol operations amounted to $687,765 for the first
quarter ended March 31, 1998.  Including the discount attributable to the
conversion value of preferred shares and warrants of $436,173, the Company
reported a loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of $2,462,732 ($.14
per share).

Year Ended December 31, 1997

For the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company had a net loss of $2,478,577
on revenues of $16,989,478.  This loss is mainly the result of insufficient
working capital at Angeles to purchase inventory to generate steel sales volume
necessary to cover overhead and administrative costs. The net loss per share
amounted to $.17 for 1997 as compared to a $.20 loss per share for 1996.

The Company reported net sales of $16,989,478 from its steel fabrication
activities during the year ended December 31, 1997.  Cost of goods sold totaled
$14,021,110, resulting in a gross profit of $2,968,368, or 17.5% of net sales.


Operating expenses totaled $5,029,606 for the year ended December 31, 1997
including selling expenses of $1,012,504, general and administrative expenses
of $1,513,959, payroll and related benefit expenses of $2,061,144 and
depreciation and amortization of $441,999.  The gross profit of approximately
$2,968,000 was not sufficient to cover these operating expenses.  As a result,
the Company incurred a loss from operations of $2,061,238.

Interest expense for the period totaled $582,713 and the Company reported
$165,374 of other income from sales of scrap.  The net loss for the year ended
December 31, 1997 was $2,478,577, or $.17 per share.

A comparison of operating results for the year ended December 31, 1997 to the
prior year has not been made because such a comparison would not be meaningful
given the change in the Company's business activities during 1997.

Year Ended December 31, 1996

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Company had a loss of $312,482 on
revenues of $17,269 from interest income.  Since Angeles was acquired in
January 1997, the 1996 operating results did not reflect Angeles' operations.
The loss in 1996 was primarily the result of a $213,672 loss incurred on the
writedown of the assets included in the Asset Sale to realizable value, based
upon fair value of such assets as determined by the Asset Sale.  The Company
also incurred an $11,400 loss from the buyout of certain stock options, in
which the Company issued 28,500 Common Shares to cancel options covering 35,000
Common Shares.

Effect of Inflation

Inflation did not have a significant effect on the operations of the Company
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.  However, in the steel
business, acquisition of steel is a major cost factor in the production
process.  As steel prices rise and decline, management believes that proper
selection, competition of steel supply companies, timing of purchases and
future sales price adjustments should preclude any significant adverse effect
on the Company.

Seasonality

The Company distributes steel products to customers in a variety of industries,
including the construction, manufacturing and automotive industries.  Because
the Company sells to a variety of customers in several industries, management
does not believe that the Company's operations are impacted by any material
seasonal trends.  There can be no assurance however, that period-to-period
fluctuations will not occur in the future.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash flows used in operations were $705,770 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 as compared to $227,451 used in operations for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1997.  The increase in cash used in operations for the first quarter
ended March 31, 1998 was a result of the larger loss in the first quarter of
1998 compared to the same quarter of 1997 after adjustment in 1998 for the
Common Shares issued for loan fees.  Also, for the first quarter of 1998
compared to the same period of 1997, accounts receivable and inventory
decreased thereby providing additional cash for operations.  The acquisition of
Capitol in January 1998 resulted in the use of cash of approximately $2 million
compared to approximately $.9 million in the same period for 1997.  Cash flows
from financing activities for the first quarter of 1998 increased by $1.8
million compared to the same period in 1997 because of cash needed for the
acquisition of Capitol.  As of March 31, 1998, the Company has a working
capital deficit of $1,043,275, a stockholders' deficit of $441,375 and an
accumulated deficit of $5,676,769.  See the Company's financial statements and
notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Prospectus, for detailed financial
information regarding the Company.

Since January 1997, the Company has primarily financed its operations with cash
available under its credit facilities and funds advanced under loan
arrangements, including certain loans from affiliated entities.  The Company
has also financed its operations through the private placement of capital stock
and convertible securities, including $1,000,000 from sales of Common Shares in
January 1997, $2,000,000 from the March 1998 sale of Series C Preferred Shares
and $5,000,000 from the issuances of convertible notes in April and June 1998.

During 1997, the Company borrowed approximately $1,000,000 from various
affiliated entities.  Interest and loan fees to these entities amounted to
$298,382, of which $248,234 was paid by issuing 286,666 Common Shares.  On
December 31, 1997, the Company issued to these entities 744,000 shares of its
Series A Preferred Shares and 449,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Shares
in exchange for the retirement of $1,025,000 of these loans and payment of
$168,000 of management fees.  In March 1998, the Company repaid the remaining
amounts outstanding on these loans.

During January 1998, the Company entered into a new financing arrangement with
Congress Financial.  The Company incurred $8,100,000 of indebtedness from
Congress Financial, of which $3,300,000 was utilized for the repayment of
outstanding revolving and term indebtedness of Angeles and $4,800,000 of which
was utilized in connection with the acquisition of Capitol.  Congress Financial
provided $1,400,000 and $3,300,000 in financing under revolving lines of credit
to Angeles and Capitol, respectively, and provided $1,900,000 and $1,500,000 to
Angeles and Capitol, respectively, in financing under term loans.  These loans
are collectively referred to as the "Congress Facility".

Under the Congress Facility, Angeles and Capitol can borrow up to a maximum of
$20 million.  The revolving line of credit portion of the Congress Facility is
limited by the amount of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and
requires Angeles and Capitol to comply with certain financial and other non-
financial covenants, as defined in the agreement.  The Congress Facility is
available, subject to support by the appropriate levels of assets and
compliance with the applicable financial and other non-financial covenants by
both Angeles and Capitol, to provide financing for general corporate purposes.
The Company is in compliance with these covenants.  The revolving line of
credit component of the Congress Facility is due in January 2000.  The term
loans are to be repaid in 60 monthly installments commencing February 1, 1998.
Amounts drawn under the Congress Facility bear interest at a rate which is .75%
per annum over the prime rate announced by Core States Bank, N.A. for the
interest period.  All of the accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and
intangibles of Angeles and Capitol have been pledged as security for the
Congress Facility.  The Congress Facility has been guaranteed by the Company
and California Building Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Angeles.

During January 1998, in connection with the Capitol Acquisition and the
transactions with Congress Financial, Paul Bagley, the Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, loaned $1,500,000 to the Company.  The loan
is evidenced by a convertible promissory note of the Company (the "1998 Bagley
Note") in the amount of $1,750,000, with a 12% annual interest rate, payable
monthly in arrears.  The 1998 Bagley Note is due in one year or sooner in the
event of a $25 million equity issuance by the Company and is secured by a
subordinate security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries, effective upon the consent of Congress Financial to such security
interest or the refinancing or repayment of the Congress Facility.  The 1998
Bagley Note is convertible into 1,750,000 Common Shares.  As additional
consideration for the loan, the Company issued 1,500,000 Common Shares to Mr.
Bagley.

During March 1998, Stone Pine Atlantic, LLC ("SP Atlantic") loaned $214,286 to
the Company.  The loan is evidenced by a convertible promissory note of the
Company (the "SP Atlantic Note") in the aggregate amount of $250,000, with a
12% annual interest rate, payable monthly in arrears.  The SP Atlantic Note is
due in one year or sooner in the event of a $25 million equity issuance by the
Company and is secured by a subordinate security interest in all of the assets
of the Company and its subsidiaries, effective upon the consent of Congress
Financial to such security interest or the refinancing and repayment of the
Congress Facility.  The SP Atlantic Note is convertible into 250,000 Common
Shares.  As additional consideration for the loan the Company issued 214,286
Common Shares to SP Atlantic.

During March 1998, the Company sold to off-shore accredited investors 200 shares
of Series C Preferred Shares at $10,000 per share for a total consideration of
$2,000,000, of which 14 shares have been converted to date. The Series C
Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible into Common Shares of the Company,
at a conversion price per Series C Preferred Share equal to $10,000 divided by
the lessor of (x) $1.75 or (y) 75% of the arithmetic average of the closing bid
prices for each of the five trading days prior to the exercise date of any such
conversion.  Based on a conversion price of $.431438, the outstanding 186 Series
C Preferred Shares are convertible into approximately 4,311,294 Common Shares.
As part of this transaction, the Company issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants
to purchase 250,000 of the Company's Common Shares at a price of $2.38 per
share.  The Warrants can be exercised any time until March 6, 2000.

In March 1998, the Company issued to off-shore investors warrants to purchase
2,000,000 Common Shares (1,000,000 exercisable at $1.00 per share and 1,000,000
at $.75 per share), expiring March 2001 and March 2000, respectively.  The
warrants were issued in exchange for $385,000 of cash paid by SP Atlantic and
are currently exercisable.

The Company has issued and sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of
$5,000,000 of its 10% Convertible Notes (collectively, the "Notes") pursuant to
the terms of a Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and the purchasers
of the Notes (the "Note Purchase Agreement").  The Company issued $2,000,000 of
the Notes on April 9, 1998, $1,500,000 on April 16, 1998, $500,000 on June 10,
1998 and $1,000,000 on June 16, 1998.  The proceeds from the issuance of the
Notes will be used for working capital.  Interest is payable on the principal
of the Notes from the date of issuance at the rate of 10% per annum.  The
interest accrues from the date of issuance of the Notes and is payable semi-
annually on October 1 and April 1 commencing October 1, 1998, until the
principal is paid in full.  The maturity date of the Notes is April 9, 1999
(the "Maturity Date").  Principal and interest on the Notes is payable in cash,
however, the Company has the right, at its sole option, to pay any interest due
on the Notes in Common Shares of the Company based on the arithmetic of the
closing bid and ask price of the Company's Common Shares for the twenty trading
days prior to the interest payment due date (the "Interest Shares").

At any time after issuance and prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in
whole or in increments of at least $20,000 of principal, may be converted by
the holder thereof into Common Shares of the Company (the "Conversion Shares")
at the Conversion Price equal to the lessor of (i) $1.75 per share or (ii) the
following conversion prices:  (x) on or after August 6, 1998 at a per share
price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the arithmetic average of the closing
bid and ask prices of the Company's Common Shares for the twenty trading days
prior to the exercise date of such conversion and (y) on or after October 5,
1998 a per share price equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the arithmetic
average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's Common Shares for
each of the twenty trading days prior to the exercise date of the such
conversion.  Based upon a conversion price of $.633275, the Notes are
convertible into 7,895,470 Common Shares.  The conversion price is subject to
adjustment under specified antidilution provisions.  The Company agreed to
register the Conversion Shares and Interest Shares on a registration statement
to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to have such
registration statement effective within 90 days of each issuance date.  Failure
to have the registration statement effective by such dates subjects the Company
to monetary penalties.

The Company is in default under the Handel Note assumed in connection with the
Capitol Acquisition and has an  obligation to repay $450,000 plus accrued
interest on such Note.  The Company is also in default under a $300,000 Note
issued in connection with the Capitol Acquisition (the "BINHAD Note").  The
Handel Note and the BINHAD Note are subordinate to the Congress Facility.  No
action may be commenced on the Handel Note or the BINHAD Note until October 12,
1998 and January 12, 1999, respectively.  Failure to cure such default on such
dates will constitute an event of default under the Congress Facility and the
Convertible Notes.

The Company intends to raise additional capital to fund the repayment of the
Handel Note and working capital requirements of the Company.  There can be no
assurances that such financing will be available to the Company.





                                      -24-
<PAGE>   29
The Company has filed a claim against BINHAD for certain breaches of
representations and warranties by BINHAD in connection with the Capital
Acquisition.  The Company intends to offset such damages against amounts
outstanding under the BINHAD Note.

The Company plans to engage in strategic acquisitions.  As these investments
are identified and funds are needed to complete such acquisitions, funding for
such acquisitions will be necessary.

The Company will be required to obtain additional lines of credit for working
capital purposes and make periodic public offerings or private placements in
order to meet the liquidity needs of the business.  The Company believes that
the funds raised from the sale of the Series C Preferred Shares, the sale of
the Convertible Notes, operating cash flows of the Company, funds available
under the Congress Facility and funds raised in an equity offering will provide
adequate resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and future capital
expenditures related to the development of its business for the next twelve
months.  There can be no assurances that financing sources will be available to
the Company in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms.  Under such
circumstances, the Company would expect to manage its growth within the
financing available.

Readiness for Year 2000

The Company is in the process of upgrading its information systems.  The new
systems, which will be installed during 1998 and used by both Capitol and
Angeles, are designed to be compatible for the year 2000 and beyond.  The new
systems will also provide management with better information, on a more timely
basis.  The costs of the Company's year 2000 compliance effort are being funded
with cash flows from operations.  These costs are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131 "Disclosure
About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  The Company will adopt the new
standards in 1998.  The Company has complied with these pronouncements and has
determined there is no material impact for the first quarter of 1998.

                                    BUSINESS

HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on
November 24, 1987.  In March 1992, the Company was reincorporated in the State
of Colorado through the merger of the Delaware corporation into a newly formed
Colorado corporation.

The Company was originally organized to take advantage of potential business
opportunities made available to the Board of Directors.  Commencing in 1989,
the Company investigated business opportunities in various industries and in
1991 the Company acquired an interest in a natural gas pipeline located in
southeast Kansas and northeast Oklahoma.  The pipeline was operated by an
independent third party on behalf of the Company and its joint venture partner
until May 1993, when the pipeline was sold.

Commencing in 1994, the Company focused on real estate development and acquired
an interest in two entities participating in the real estate industry in
Colorado Springs, Colorado - the Northcrest Joint Venture and the Bear Star
Limited Liability Company ("Bear Star").  The Northcrest Joint Venture owns
undeveloped real estate east of Colorado Springs which has been zoned for
single family residential development.  The Company owned a 53% interest in
that entity until such interest was sold in January 1997 prior to the Merger
described below.  Bear Star was organized to develop and market partially
developed real estate west of Colorado Springs, which was zoned for single
family homes.  The Company owned an 18.54% interest in that entity until such
interest was sold in April 1997.  See "Former Real Estate Development Business"
for a description of the Northcrest Joint Venture, Bear Star, and the other
former real estate development interests of the Company.

On January 21, 1997, a subsidiary of the Company merged with Angeles
Acquisition, a privately held company, with Angeles Acquisition surviving the
merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger").  Prior to
the Merger, Angeles Acquisition had acquired Angeles, which does business as
Angeles Metal Systems.  During August 1997, the Company reorganized its
subsidiaries and Angeles became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.  Angeles and its wholly owned subsidiary, California Building Systems,
Inc. ("CBS"), fabricate and sell steel framing materials for commercial and
residential structures.  CBS has also developed a low-cost complete steel frame
housing structure.  See "Angeles Metal Trim Co. and Subsidiary" for a
description of the business of Angeles and CBS.

On January 12, 1998, the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased
substantially all of the assets of Capitol Metals Co., Inc. ("Old Capitol"), a
privately held steel processing and service center headquartered in Torrance,
California.  Old Capitol filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code on October 7, 1997.  The total consideration was approximately
$8,100,000, consisting of $336,000 in cash, $1,500,000 in promissory notes
($300,000 of which is in default), $300,000 of Common Shares of the Company
(269,349 Common Shares), the assumption of an outstanding note and interest of
$626,000 (which is currently in default), the repayment of $4,764,000 of Old
Capitol's then existing senior debt and the assumption of approximately
$574,000 of costs and expenses associated with the acquisition.  The Common
Shares issued in connection with the acquisition of the assets of Old Capitol
are included in this Prospectus and are subject to increase in the event the
value of such shares is less than $300,000, 30 days after the filing of this
Registration Statement. Information on the acquisition of the assets of Old
Capitol, and the obligations incurred in connection with such acquisition
appears in note K to the Company's 1997 Financial Statements that are included
in this Prospectus.  See also "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation".

With the recent acquisition of Angeles and Capitol, the Company intends to
focus on the steel frame building business, steel service center operations and
complementary businesses.  Management believes that the acquisition of Capitol
will provide the Company with several advantages toward the accomplishment of
its business objective of increasing the Company's profitability.  The Company
has recently relocated the Los Angeles, California operations of Angeles to the
Torrance, California facility used by Capitol.  In addition to the long term
reduction in facilities cost, this relocation allows management to combine
several previously duplicative functions, creating efficiencies and cost
savings.  These functions include: materials receiving, slitting operations,
purchasing, accounting and other administrative functions.  Additionally, as
the companies currently use several common suppliers, the Company believes that
the purchasing volume created by the addition of Capitol may create reduced
pricing for materials and services utilized by Angeles and Capitol.





                                      -26-

The Company's business strategy is to achieve profitability through expansion
of its existing operations and acquisitions of businesses that are
strategically located or positioned to diversify or enhance the Company's
customer base, product range and geographic coverage.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

                     Angeles Metal Trim Co. and Subsidiary

Products and Markets

Angeles is in the business of fabricating and selling light gauge steel framing
materials for commercial and residential structures.  Angeles' products include
galvanized steel components, framing materials, studs, tracks, trusses and
joists for domestic and international markets.  Angeles also provides technical
support, engineering and estimating services for specialized projects,
primarily in the residential housing market.  CBS has also developed a
proprietary low-cost steel frame housing structure.

Angeles has been supplying its steel framing products to the commercial
construction industry for over 40 years.  The commercial construction market
segment represented approximately 95% of Angeles' sales during 1997.

Since 1992, Angeles has been developing the use of steel framing for
residential housing markets.  The residential construction market segment
represented approximately 5% of Angeles' sales during 1997.  While the use of
steel framing is not new in residential construction, the recent escalation and
volatility in lumber prices has caused widespread attention to be focused on
the advantages of building homes with steel.  Management believes that the
early entry by Angeles into this growing market gives it a significant
advantage over its competitors in terms of designing and engineering products,
training framers and subcontractors, and developing relationships with
builders.

Management believes that its sales to the residential construction market
segment will grow during the current fiscal year.  Steel has a number of
attractive qualities over lumber and concrete block as a building material,
including (i) steel's comparatively lower cost compared to lumber, which is
becoming increasingly scarce and expensive due to environmental and other
factors; (ii) steel's long life compared to lumber, which rots and is
susceptible to termites and other pests; (iii) steel's greater structural
integrity, which allows for greater consistency of quality, straightness and
strength under adverse conditions such as earthquakes; (iv) steel's faster
construction time with an experienced crew; (v) steel's pre-cut convenience and
ease of assembly with conventional tools; and (vi) steel's ability to be re-
cycled.  Where wood is desired as an exterior material or trim, it can easily
be mixed with steel.  The Company believes that the use of steel frames in
residential construction will continue to grow given the high cost of
conventional framing and the numerous positive attributes of steel framing.

In addition to selling light gauge steel framing materials and components for
residential structure, CBS also sells a pre-engineered low-cost steel frame
housing structure which it developed, known as Model 640.  This product is a
pre-engineered 640 square foot steel framed basic structure which can be easily
customized to meet the differing requirements of a variety of customers.  It is
a complete, steel framed housing structure that provides punch-outs for
subsequent plumbing and wiring.  The materials can be delivered to a housing
site for a price of under $2,500.

The Model 640 was primarily designed for export.  The Company has identified
the worldwide low-cost housing market as a significant market ready to
experience substantial growth.  The need for small, but affordable housing, is
mushrooming in third-world countries, which are beginning to emerge
economically, but still have very under-developed housing infrastructures for
their populations.  The Model 640 and customized versions of the Model 640 have
been sold in the Pacific Rim and there has been additional interest in Europe,
South America and the Far East.

Most of the steel utilized in the Model 640 is pre-cut and galvanized for
corrosion resistance for maximum durability, even in the most damp climates.
Models can be engineered to withstand winds up to 155 mph and each home can be
engineered to be earthquake resistant up to a seismic 4 rating.  The Model 640
is (i) designed to meet the requirements of most governmental agencies; (ii)
wind, earthquake, corrosion, termite and dry rot resistant; (iii) easy to build
and quickly assembled, even with semi-skilled labor; (iv) economic to ship; and
(v) available with flexible floor plans.

Manufacturing

Angeles' products are manufactured in accordance with customer specifications.
Most of Angeles' products comply with Angeles' certification by the
International Conference of Building Officials ("ICBO").  Angeles is the only
major steel roll forming company on the West Coast that has it's own ICBO
certification in addition to being ICBO certified through AMS' membership in
the Metal Stud Manufacturing Association.

All of Angeles' design, engineering, manufacturing and administration
operations are performed at the company's manufacturing facilities in Torrance,
California and Vancouver, Washington.  Angeles manufactures approximately 85-
90% of the goods it sells and outsources the remaining 10-15%.  Both
manufacturing locations also conduct sales, marketing and distribution.  In
addition, Angeles maintains marketing, sales and distribution facilities in
Tacoma, Washington and Sacramento, California.  All of Angeles' facilities are
leased.  See "Property".

Angeles is currently operating with one full shift and is equipped (but not
staffed) to run two shifts.  Angeles owns all of its manufacturing and
engineering equipment.

Angeles strives to provide its customers with fast, reliable delivery of its
products.  Angeles keeps sufficient inventory to respond quickly to customer
needs.  Angeles purchases raw materials, which consist of full and slit steel
coils, in advance.  Angeles distributes its commercial products on a truckload
basis.  Residential products are also delivered by the truckload, to framing
companies, value added centers and to specific job sites.  In some cases,
trusses are assembled at the company and in other cases they are assembled on
site.

Marketing, Distribution and Customers

Unlike many of its competitors, Angeles primarily markets and sells its steel
products directly to building contractors rather than through wholesalers or
distributors.  As a result of transportation costs, products are marketed and
sold primarily in 13 western states.  Products are also sold in Hawaii, Canada,
Mexico and other foreign countries.  During 1997, international sales were
approximately 1% of total sales, reflecting sales primarily to Japan.  The top
ten customers of 1997 represented approximately 26% of sales by Angeles, with
no one customer representing more than 10% of sales.

Raw Materials and Supplies

Galvanized steel is the primary raw material utilized by Angeles and it
represents the majority of cost of goods sold.  Sources for this steel are
numerous and the supply has been and is expected to remain sufficient to meet
Angeles' needs.  USS Posco, a joint venture between U.S. Steel and the Pohang
Steel Company of Korea, has been the primary supplier of steel for Angeles.  In
addition, Angeles has also maintained continuous and competitive purchasing
relationships with other companies in order to ensure an uninterrupted supply
of material.  Recently, Angeles has focused attention on more aggressively
sourcing these steel supply contracts, including additional purchases on the
secondary and spot markets.





                                      -28-
<PAGE>   33
Research and Development

Angeles has not incurred significant research and development expenditures in
the last two years.

Patents

Angeles holds a number of patents and trademarks on its products, none of which
is essential to the business.  Management believes that Angeles' reputation,
know how and experience in the steel framing business is more important than
its patents and trademarks.  Accordingly, Angeles relies upon trade secrets and
other unpatented proprietary information in its business.

                               Capitol Metals Co.

Background

In January 1998, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased
substantially all of the assets of Old Capitol, a privately held steel
processing and service center headquartered in Torrance, California.  Old
Capitol, which started operating in 1946, grew to become one of the largest
flat-rolled steel service facilities in Southern California. Old Capitol
experienced financial difficulty due in part to insufficient working capital
necessary to maintain adequate inventory levels.  On October 7, 1997, Old
Capitol filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  On
November 26, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order establishing the
procedures for the sale of substantially all of the assets of Old Capitol
pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated December 1, 1997 between Old
Capitol and the Company. After the January 1998 acquisition, Angeles
Acquisition changed its name to Capitol Metals Co. ("Capitol").

Management believes that the acquisition of Capitol will provide the Company
with several advantages toward the accomplishment of its business objectives of
increasing the Company's profitability.  The Company has recently relocated the
Los Angeles, California operations of Angeles to the Torrance, California
facility currently used by Capitol.  In addition to the long term reduction in
facilities cost, this relocation allows management to combine several
previously duplicative functions, creating efficiencies and cost savings.
These functions  include: materials receiving, slitting operations, purchasing,
accounting and other administrative functions.  Additionally, as the companies
currently use several common suppliers, the Company believes that the
purchasing volume created by the addition of Capitol may create reduced pricing
for materials and services utilized by both Angeles and Capitol.

Products and Services

Capitol sells and processes flat rolled carbon steel products, which include:

              o      Hot rolled steel
              o      Pickled and oiled steel
              o      Cold rolled steel
              o      Galvanized steel
              o      Aluminized steel

Capitol processes steel to the precise thickness, length, width, shape, temper
and surface quality specified by its customers.  Value-added processes provided
by Capitol include:

              o      Cutting to length - the cutting of steel into pieces and
                     along the width of a coil to create sheets        or
                     plates.
              o      Blanking - the process in which flat-rolled steel is cut
                     into precise two dimensional shapes by passing it through
                     a slitter and leveler.
              o      Leveling - the flattening of steel to uniform tolerances
                     for proper machining.
              o      Slitting - the cutting of coiled steel to specified widths
                     along the length of the coil.





                                      -29-
<PAGE>   34
              o      Pickling - a chemical treatment to improve surface quality
                     by removing the surface oxidation and scale which develops
                     on the steel shortly after it is hot-rolled.
              o      Edge trimming - a process which removes a specified
                     portion of the outside edges of coiled steel to produce
                     uniform width and round or smooth edges.

Capitol is one of the largest flat rolled service facilities in Southern
California. Capitol owns three slitting lines, four cut-to-length lines and one
banding line for slit coil packing.  The only toll coil pickling line on the
West Coast capable of handling 40,000 pound coils is owned by Capitol.  This
line has capacity to process over 14,000 tons per month.  Approximately 90% of
Capitol's 1997 revenues were derived from processed steel sales, and
approximately 10% was derived from steel processing services.  Management
believes that the steel processing services, particularly the pickling
operations, will increase as a percentage of Capitol's revenues over the next
12 months.  Capitol also warehouses customer owned material.

Management believes that Capitol's toll pickling line provides a significant
competitive advantage to the Company.  In addition to providing the only
pickling service on the West Coast for 40,000 pound coils, Capitol is able to
offer to its pickling customers customized processing services for steel owned
by such customers or purchased from Capitol as well as storage of such steel in
Capitol's warehouse facility.

Capitol intends to capitalize on the trend of both primary steel producers and
end-users of steel products to reduce in-house processing and to outsource
processing and inventory management requirements.  Capitol purchases steel from
primary producers, who focus on large volume sales of unprocessed steel, and in
most cases Capitol performs customized processing services on this steel to
meet specifications provided by end-use customers.  By providing these
services, as well as offering inventory management and just-in-time delivery
services, Capitol enables its customers to reduce material costs, enhance
quality, decrease capital required for raw materials inventory and processing
equipment and save time, labor and other expenses.

Manufacturing

Capitol's products and processing services are manufactured in accordance with
customer specifications.  All engineering, manufacturing and administrative
operations are performed at Capitol's facility in Torrance, California.

Capitol is currently operating with one full shift and one second shift crew
and is equipped (but not staffed) to run three full shifts.  Capitol owns all
of its manufacturing and engineering equipment.

Capitol strives to provide its customers with fast, reliable delivery of its
products. Capitol keeps sufficient inventory to respond quickly to customer
needs. Capitol purchases raw materials, which consist of full and slit steel
coils, in advance.  Capitol distributes its products on a truckload basis.

Marketing, Distribution and Customers

Capitol has over 200 active customers throughout the western states.  No one
customer accounted for more than 10% of Capitol's business in 1997.  By
category for 1997, the customers by industry were approximately as follows:

Raw Materials and Supplies

Hot rolled steel is the primary raw material used by Capitol.  Capitol also
purchases galvanized and cold rolled steel as well as other types of steel.
Sources for steel to meet Capitol's requirements are numerous and the supply
has been and is expected to remain sufficient to meet the requirements of
Capitol.  USS Posco, a joint venture between U.S. Steel and the Pohang Steel
Company of Korea, Duferco Steel, Ferrostal and Thyssen Steel Trading Co., a
German trading company are major current suppliers of steel to Capitol.

COMPETITION

Angeles

Competition in the steel frame industry is intense and Angeles competes with a
number of entities, some of which may have greater financial resources than
Angeles.  Angeles competes against a number of other companies for sales in
both the commercial and residential steel framing markets.  To the extent that
steel framing for residential housing becomes more widely accepted as an
alternative to conventional lumber and concrete construction, competition may
increase.  Angeles competes for orders from its customers primarily on the
basis of price, quality, timely delivery, engineering capability and
reliability.  Most of Angeles' orders are awarded by its customers on the basis
of competitive bidding.  Angeles sells primarily on a direct basis to
contractors and sub-contractors, while it's competitors sell primarily through
building material dealers.  Angeles believes that it can better service
customers by selling products directly, rather than through dealers.  In
addition to competitors who sell directly to contractors and to sub-
contractors, manufacturers also sell to building materials houses, who, in
turn, sell to contractors and sub-contractors. Those building materials houses
sell materials in addition to the light gauge steel products, and may, from
time to time, sell the steel products delivered to the job sites.

Capitol

The steel distribution and servicing industry is highly fragmented and
competitive.  Competition is based on price, service, quality, availability of
products and geographic proximity.  Capitol faces competition from national,
regional and local independent steel distributors and servicing centers, many
of which may have greater resources than Capitol.  The Company believes that it
will be able to compete more effectively as a result of the combined purchasing
volume and operational economies of scale resulting from the acquisition of
Capitol and combining the operations of Angeles with Capitol over the next few
months.  Management believes that Capitol's toll pickling line provides a
significant competitive advantage to the Company.  In addition to providing the
only pickling service on the West Coast for 40,000 pound coils, Capitol is able
to offer to its pickling customers customized processing services for steel
owned by such customers or purchased from Capitol as well as storage of such
steel in Capitol's warehouse facility.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The operations of the Company are subject to extensive federal, state and local
laws and regulations, relating to the protection of human health and the
environment.  In particular, the Company's operations are subject to extensive
federal, state and local laws and regulations governing waste disposal, air and
water emissions, the handling of hazardous substances, environment protection,
remediation, workplace exposure and other matters.  Hazardous materials that
the Company uses





                                      -31-
<PAGE>   36
in its operations primarily include lubricants, cleaning solvents and
hydrochloric acid used in its pickling operations.  The Company believes that
its facilities are in material compliance with these laws and regulations and
does not believe that future compliance with such laws and regulations will
have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial
condition.  However, environmental laws are becoming increasingly more
stringent and, consequently, the Company's environmental expenditures and costs
for environmental compliance may increase in the future.  In addition, due to
the possibility of unanticipated regulatory or other developments, the amount
and timing of future environmental expenditures may vary substantially from
those currently anticipated.

The Company's operations are also governed by laws and regulations relating to
workplace safety and worker health, principally the Occupational Health and
Safety Act and regulations thereunder, which among other requirements,
establish noise, dust and safety standards.  Management believes that the
Company is in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations and does
not anticipate that future compliance with such laws and regulations will have
a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition
of the Company.

The use of steel framing products in commercial and residential construction
are governed by local building codes.  Over the past several years, local
building codes in a number of jurisdictions have been revised to provide for
the use of steel for residential construction in addition to the traditional
wood framing.  Angeles anticipates no significant adverse effects of
governmental regulations related to the use of light gage steel in commercial
and residential framing.

EMPLOYEES

At July 31, 1998, the Company had 75 full-time employees at Angeles and 55
full-time employees at Capitol.  The Company believes that its employee
relations are good.

Hourly employees of Capitol are represented by the International Longshoremen
and Warehousemen's Union Local 26 ("ILWU").  Capitol and the ILWU have entered
into a labor agreement with a 30 month term expiring on November 1, 2000.  The
Company does not believe that the collective bargaining agreement will have a
material impact either favorably or unfavorably on the Company's revenues or
profitability.  The Company believes that it maintains a good relationship with
the ILWU and its employees.

                    Former Real Estate Development Business

From 1994 through the January 1997 Merger, the Company's operations were
exclusively in the real estate development business described below.  Prior to
the Merger, the Company sold certain assets of the Company, including the
Company's interest in the Northcrest Joint Venture, to three executive officers
and directors (the "Former Directors") of the Company (the "Asset Sale").  As
part of the Asset Sale, the Former Directors assumed all obligations of the
Company existing prior to the Merger.  See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions" for a description of the Asset Sale.  During April 1997, the
Company sold its interest in Bear Star.

The Northcrest Joint Venture

During July 1994, the Company acquired an interest in a 59 acre parcel of
property, commonly known as the "Northcrest Development," located east of
Colorado Springs, Colorado through the formation of the Northcrest Joint
Venture (the "Northcrest Joint Venture") with Glacier Valley Holding
Corporation ("Glacier Valley") and certain other entities for purposes of
developing the property.  In September 1994, the Northcrest Joint Venture
executed an agreement to sell 27 of the 189 lots comprising the development to
JBS Corporation ("JBS"), an unaffiliated third party, and the Company granted
an option to JBS with regard to the remaining lots, which option was contingent
upon completion of the initial purchase.  Through December 31, 1995, the
Company sold 90 lots to JBS.

During April 1996, the Company entered into a new option agreement with Elite
Properties of America ("Elite"), an unaffiliated third party, to sell the
remaining 99 lots of the development.  In a transaction effective June 21,
1996, the





                                      -32-
<PAGE>   37
Northcrest Joint Venture sold the remaining 99 lots to Elite for a price of
$668,250, which was reduced by an improvement credit of $50,000 given to Elite,
prior deposits of $5,000 and miscellaneous closing costs paid by the Company of
$1,629.  The remaining balance due was $611,620, of which $5,870 was paid at
closing and the balance of $605,750 represented by a non-recourse promissory
note in favor of the Northcrest Joint Venture (the "Elite Note").

Prior to the Merger, the Company sold its entire interest in the Northcrest
Joint Venture and its interest in the Elite Note to the Former Directors of the
Company as part of the Asset Sale.  In such Asset Sale, the Former Directors of
the Company provided certain consideration and assumed all obligations of the
Company existing prior to the Merger including any obligation of the Company
relating to its interest in the Northcrest Joint Venture.  See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions".

Golden Prairie Northcrest Joint Venture

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company organized another joint venture
to acquire additional real estate adjoining the Northcrest Development.  The
Golden Prairie Northcrest Joint Venture was comprised of the Company and
Glacier Valley, as equal participants, and acquired approximately seven acres
of undeveloped land.  During November 1995, the Company sold its 50% interest
in Golden Prairie to affiliates of Glacier Valley for a promissory note in the
amount of $18,000 (the "Golden Prairie Note") and an assumption of liabilities
on the Golden Prairie Joint Venture by the purchaser.  As part of the Asset
Sale, the Company sold its interest in the Golden Prairie Note to the Former
Directors of the Company.  See "Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions".

Columbine Homes Sales LLC

The Company owned approximately 19% of Columbine Homes Sales, LLC
("Columbine"), which interest was acquired in 1994.  Columbine operated a
retail manufactured housing dealership in Colorado Springs and owned 60% of a
real estate development known as "The Community at Bear Creek," a manufactured
housing community located west of Colorado Springs.

During 1995, the Company transferred its interest in Columbine.  Concurrent
with the sale, the ownership of Columbine and Bear Star were reorganized such
that the Company's indirect interest in Bear Star was converted to a direct
interest, together with that of the remaining members of Columbine.  The
Company and the other Columbine members also purchased the remaining interest
in Bear Star such that the Company and the other Columbine members owned 100%
of that entity after such reorganization.  See "Bear Star Limited Liability
Company."

The interests of the Company and other members of Columbine were sold for a
$125,000 promissory note (the "Columbine Promissory Note").  The Company, as a
former owner of Columbine, owned an 18.54% undivided interest in the Columbine
Promissory Note.

Bear Star Limited Liability Company

Bear Star was formed to acquire, develop and market developed and partially
developed land located west of Colorado Springs.  Bear Star was owned 60% by
Columbine and 40% by unrelated parties, but reorganized so that the owners of
Columbine directly acquired an interest in Bear Star.  Following the
reorganization and acquisition of the remaining minority interest, the Company
owned 18.54% of Bear Star.

During June 1994, Bear Star acquired approximately 16 acres of partially
developed property, zoned for double-wide manufactured homes and intended for
approximately 110 lots.  In conjunction with this purchase, Bear Star also
acquired an option to acquire an additional 14 acres of undeveloped land, which
additional property is also zoned for manufactured homes.  During fiscal 1996,
Bear Star sold approximately 5.6 acres of the 16 acres to a third party.  As of
December 31, 1996, Bear Star had also sold 33 lots of the developed portion of
the property, leaving 15 lots unsold.





                                      -33-
<PAGE>   38
The original 16 acres were acquired by Bear Star for an effective price of
approximately $2,065,000, consisting of two promissory notes in the aggregate
principle amount of $765,000 (the "Bear Star Property Notes") and approximately
$1,300,000 in cash and property.  The Bear Star Property Notes were paid in
full in 1996.

The interest of the minority members was acquired by the Company and the other
former owners of Columbine for an $880,000 promissory note and secured by a
then second mortgage on the property.  That note was subsequently canceled in
exchange for the issuance of two new notes, both equally secured by a new first
mortgage on the property.  The balance of these two notes at December 31, 1996
was $432,400 and $146,029, respectively.  During April 1997, the Company sold
its interest in Bear Star for $30,000 cash.

refinancing or repayment of the Congress Facility.  The SP Atlantic Note is
convertible into 250,000 Common Shares.  As additional consideration for the
loan, the Company issued 214,286 Common Shares to SP Atlantic.

During March 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with RDB Capital
Advisors, LLC ("RDB") pursuant to which the Company paid RDB $120,000 as
compensation for services rendered by RDB in arranging for the $2 million
purchase of the Company's Series C Preferred Shares by a group of investors.
RDB is owned by Mr. Bailey, a director of the Company.

During March 1998, the Company entered into a consulting arrangement with Mr.
Wolf.  Under the arrangement, Mr. Wolf provided consulting services in
connection with a potential acquisition.  Mr. Wolf received $40,000, plus
250,000 Common Shares as compensation for these services.

In March 1998, the Company issued to employees of the Company and employees of
related companies providing services to the Company, stock options to purchase
a total of 625,000 Common Shares at $2.08 per share.  These 625,000 options
included 400,000 options granted to Carl Casareto, the Chief Financial Officer
of the Company and 100,000 options granted to Donald R. Jackson, the Secretary
and Treasurer of the Company.  The options vest over a four year period
commencing on March 10, 1999.

who are beneficial owners of approximately 59% and 47%, respectively, of the
outstanding Common Shares, have a financial interest in SP Colorado, SP
Atlantic, ERB, SP Financial, SP Advisors and SP Capital.

The Company believes that the transactions described above were fair to the
Company and were as favorable to the Company as those which it might have
obtained from non-affiliated third parties, given the circumstances under which
such transactions were proposed and effectuated.

                           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES


AUTHORIZED CAPITAL

       The authorized capital of the Company consists of 60,000,000 shares, of
which 10,000,000 shares are Preferred Shares, par value $.01 per share, and
50,000,000 shares are Common Shares, par value $.0001 per share.

COMMON SHARES

       Each Common Share is entitled to one vote in all meetings of
shareholders.  All Common Shares are equal to each other with respect to
liquidation rights and dividend rights.  There are no preemptive rights to
purchase any additional Common Shares.  The Articles of Incorporation of the
Company prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors.  Directors are
elected by a plurality of shares cast at any shareholders' meeting.  All other
actions requiring a vote of the shareholders require a majority under the
Company's Bylaws.  In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of
the Company, holders of the Common Shares will be entitled to receive, on a
prorata basis, all assets of the Company remaining after satisfaction of all
liabilities and all liquidation preferences, if any, granted to holders of
Preferred Shares of the Company.  As of August 5, 1998, the Company had
outstanding an aggregate of 19,776,867 Common Shares.

PREFERRED SHARES

       The Articles of Incorporation vest the directors of the Company with the
authority to divide the class of Preferred Shares into series and to fix and
determine the relative rights and preferences of the shares of any such series
so established to the full extent permitted by the laws of the State of
Colorado and the Articles of Incorporation in respect of, among other things,
(a) the number of shares of Preferred Shares to constitute such series and the
distinctive designation thereof; (b) the rate and preference of dividends, if
any, the time of payment of dividends, whether dividends are cumulative and the
date from which any dividends shall accrue; (c) whether the Preferred Shares
may be redeemed, and if so, the redemption price and the terms and conditions
of redemption; (d) the liquidation preference payable on Preferred Shares in
the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation; (e) sinking fund or
other provisions, if any, for redemption or purchase of Preferred Shares; (f)
the terms and conditions by which the Preferred Shares of any series is issued
with the privilege of conversation; and (g) voting rights, if any.

       The Company considers it desirable to have preferred shares available to
provide increased flexibility in structuring possible future acquisitions and
financings and in meeting corporate needs which may arise.  If opportunities
arise that would make desirable the issuance of preferred shares through either
public offering or private placements, the provisions for preferred shares in
the Company's Articles of Incorporation would avoid the possible delay and
expense of a shareholder's meeting, except as may be required by law or
regulatory authorities.  Issuance of the preferred shares could result,
however,  in a series of securities outstanding that will have certain
preferences with respect to dividends and liquidation over the Common Stock
which would result in dilution of the income per share and net book value of
the Common Stock.  The specific terms of any series of preferred shares will
depend primarily on market conditions, terms of a proposed acquisition or
financings, and other factors existing at the time of issuance.  Therefore, it
is not possible at this time to determine in what respect a particular series
of preferred shares will be superior to the Company's Common Shares except for
the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series
C Preferred Shares.  The Board of Directors may issue additional preferred
shares in future financings.

       The issuance of Preferred Shares could have the effect of making it more
difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting
stock of the Company.  Further, certain provisions of Colorado law could delay
or make more difficult a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving the
Company.  While such provisions are intended to enable the Board of Directors
to maximize stockholder value, they may have the effect of discouraging
takeovers which could be in the best interest of certain stockholders.  There
is no assurance that such provisions will not have an adverse effect on the
market value of the Company's stock in the future.

       The Company has authorized the following classes of Preferred Shares:
Series A Preferred Shares having 1,000,000 authorized shares, Series B
Preferred Shares having 1,000,000 authorized shares and Series C Preferred
Shares having 200





                                      -50-
<PAGE>   55
authorized shares.  The Company has outstanding 744,000 Series A Preferred
Shares, 449,000 Series B Preferred Shares and 186 Series C Preferred Shares.

       Both the Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares have a
cumulative $0.12 per annum dividend per share and a liquidation preference of
$1.00 per share, plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends. The dividends are
payable quarterly, in cash or at the option of the Company, in Common Shares.
The Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are convertible at
the option of the holders of such shares at the conversion price of $1.00 per
share.  In the event of an increase or decrease in the number of Company Common
Shares as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
combination or reclassification, the conversion ratio shall be equity adjusted.
The Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares are redeemable at
the option of the Company at any time at the redemption price of $1.00 per
share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends.

       The Series C Preferred Shares have a stated value of $10,000 per share,
a cumulative $600 per share annum dividend and a liquidation preference of
$10,000 per share, plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.  The dividends
are payable quarterly in cash, or at the option of the Company in Common
Shares.  The Series C Preferred Shares are convertible, at the option of the
holders of such shares at the conversion price per Series C Preferred Share
equal to $10,000 divided by the lesser of (x) $1.75 or (y) 75% of the
arithmetic average of the closing bid prices of the Common Shares for each of
the five trading days prior to the exercise date of any such conversion.  In
the event of an increase or decrease in the number of Company Common Shares as
a result of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination or
reclassification, the conversion ratio shall be equitably adjusted.  The Series
C Preferred Shares have a mandatory redemption feature on March 10, 2001 at a
redemption price of $10,000 per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid
dividends.

       The Series A Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred Shares rank
pari passu in liquidation and the Series B Preferred Shares rank junior to the
Series A Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred Shares in liquidation.
The Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred

       As permitted by the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors is divided into three classes of directors, with each class serving a
staggered three-year term.  This division of the Board of Directors into three
classes may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or
otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company and may maintain the
incumbency of the Board of Directors, because such a division generally makes
it more difficult for stockholders to replace a majority of directors.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

       There are no indemnification provisions for directors, officers or
controlling persons of the Company against liability under the Securities Act
of 1933.  However, Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-110 of the Colorado Business
Corporation Act gives Colorado corporations the power to indemnify their
directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents against liability
incurred in any proceeding to which they are made parties by reason of being or
having served in such capacities, subject to specified conditions and
exclusions set forth in the Act; authorize the payment for or reimbursement of
reasonable expenses incurred by such persons in such proceedings; mandate
indemnification of directors and officers who are successful on the merits; and
permit companies to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance.

       Article IX of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that the
Board of Directors of the Company has the power to:  (1) indemnify any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by the Colorado Business Corporation Act; (2) authorize payment of
expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or
agent to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is
entitled to be indemnified by the Company; and (3) purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a directors, officer, employee
or agent of the Company or who is or was serving at the request of the Company
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Company, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability

asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of
his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to
indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of Article IX of the
Company's Articles of Incorporation.

       Article XI of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company shall
indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding because the person is or was a
director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if:  (i) the
person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (ii) the person
reasonably believed:  (1) in the case of conduct in an official capacity with
the Company, that his or her conduct was in the Company's best interests; and
(2) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the
company's best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the
person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  The
Company may not indemnify a director or officer (i) in connection with a
proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which the director or officer
was adjudged liable to the Company; or (ii) in connection with any other
proceeding charging that the director or officer derived an improper personal
benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which
proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived
an improper personal benefit.  The By-Laws provide that the Company shall
indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is
or was a director or officer, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or
her in connection with the proceeding.

       Article XI of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or who, while a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign Company or other person or
of an employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted or incurred by the
person in that capacity or arising out of his or her status as a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the Company would have
the power to indemnify the person against the same liability under Article XI
of the Company's By-Laws.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the
Company by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Consolidated Capital of North America, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Consolidated
Capital of North America, Inc. (a Colorado corporation) and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Consolidated
Capital of North America, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           December 31, 1997 and 1996


NOTE A - BUSINESS AND INVESTMENT RISK

Consolidated Capital of North America, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the
"Company"), was organized in 1987. During 1997, the Company sold all of its real
estate investments. With the 1997 acquisition of Angeles Metal Trim Co.
("Angeles") and the 1998 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of
Capitol Metals Co., Inc. ("Old Capitol"), the Company intends to focus on the
steel frame building business, steel service center operations and complementary
businesses.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,942,872
and a net loss of $2,478,577 for the year ended December 31, 1997. In January
1998, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Old Capitol, which
had filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (see note K).
The ability of the Company to successfully carry out its business plan is
dependent upon its ability to obtain sufficient additional capital and to
generate significant revenues through its existing assets, including the Capitol
assets.

The Company plans to raise additional working capital through private offerings
of debt and equity (see note K). There is no assurance that the Company will
have sufficient funds to execute its business plan or generate positive
operating results. Management believes that funds on hand and raised in
placements subsequent to year end will be sufficient to fund its operating needs
through at least December 31, 1998.


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

1.  Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Angeles Acquisition Corp. ("Angeles Acquisition")
and Angeles and its wholly-owned subsidiary, California Building Systems, Inc.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2.  Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost (which approximates
first-in, first-out basis) or market.

                           December 31, 1997 and 1996


3.  Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization are provided using principally the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives of five to ten years. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of
the improvements, whichever is shorter.

4.  Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of the net assets acquired, and is being amortized over ten years on a
straight line basis. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value and
the remaining useful life of its goodwill, and will adjust the carrying value
and related amortization period, if appropriate.

5.  Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS No.
109") "Accounting for Income Taxes".

6.  Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

7.  Concentrations of Risk

The Company purchases its raw materials from a few vendors which potentially
subjects the Company to a concentration of supplier risk. Although its purchases
of raw materials are currently concentrated with a few key suppliers, management
believes that other suppliers could provide similar services and comparable
terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause delays in manufacturing and
shipping and a possible loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating
results.

The majority of the Company's sales are to customers in the commercial
construction market. An adverse change in the financial condition of the market
could cause a loss of sales, which could adversely affect operating results.

                           December 31, 1997 and 1996


8.  Investments

The Company accounts for its interest in investments for which it has less than
a 50% interest and in majority owned subsidiaries where control is expected to
be temporary under the equity method. Under this method, the Company's
proportionate share of the equity investments' income or loss either increases
or decreases the Company's investment. At December 31, 1996, the Company reduced
its investment to net realizable value. In January 1997, the Company sold its
53% interest in the Northcrest Joint Venture. In April 1997, the Company sold
its majority interest in Bear Star.

9.  Marketable Securities Held for Sale

Investments in equity securities are classified as trading. Trading securities
are measured at fair value, with net unrealized holding gains and losses
reported in operations.

10. Basic Loss Per Share

The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued SFAS No. 128 "Earnings
Per Share", effective for years ending after December 15, 1997. Basic loss per
share in the accompanying financial statements is calculated in accordance with
SFAS No. 128. Loss per share for 1996, calculated in accordance with SFAS No.
128, did not change from the amount previously reported. SFAS No. 128 requires
basic earnings per share be calculated based on weighted average shares
outstanding for the period without giving effect to outstanding common stock
equivalents, while diluted earnings per share considers the effect of common
stock equivalents on weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per
share of common stock is the same as basic earnings per share as the Company
reported a loss for 1997 and 1996.

11. Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company's accounts receivable, accounts payable and
short-term debt approximated fair value as of December 31, 1997 and 1996,
because of their relatively short maturity.

12. New Financial Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131 "Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt the new
standards in 1998. The effects of these new standards have not yet been
determined.

                                               ===========

NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In 1997, the Company borrowed approximately $1,000,000 from various affiliated
entities. Interest and loan fees to these entities for 1997 amounted to
$298,382, of which $248,234 was paid by issuing 286,666 shares of the Company's
Common Stock. The fair value of the stock was determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company. The balance of $50,148 was paid or accrued in 1997. On
December 31, 1997, the Company issued to these entities 744,000 shares of its
Series A Preferred Shares and 449,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Shares in
exchange for the retirement of $1,025,000 of these loans and payment of $168,000
in management fees.

Notes payable to affiliates include three notes in the amount of $75,000 each,
which bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum and were due March 31, 1998.
These loans were repaid subsequent to year end.

During 1997, the Company entered into a five-year agreement with an affiliated
entity to provide administrative, accounting, investment banking and investor
relations services as defined in the agreement. Fees for these services were
$192,500 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Company issued 168,000 shares
of preferred stock valued at $168,000 and the remaining portion was paid in
cash.

NOTE E - MARKETABLE SECURITIES

During December 1993, the Company acquired 12,500 units in Gold Capital
Corporation ("GCC") in a private offering of securities at a per unit cost of
$2.00 with each unit consisting of two common shares and one warrant to purchase
common shares at $1.00. In 1994, the Company exercised its warrants and held a
total of 37,500 shares. During January 1997, the Company exchanged all of its
GCC securities in exchange for the cancellation of the stock options (see note
F.3).

NOTE F - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

1.  Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had two classes of Preferred Shares: Series
A and Series B. Both the Series A and B Shares (i) have 1,000,000 authorized
shares, (ii) are entitled to a cumulative $0.12 per annum dividend, and (iii) a
liquidation preference of $1.00 per share, plus any accumulated but unpaid
dividends. The dividends are payable quarterly, in cash or at the option of the
Company, in Common Shares. The Series A Shares have a priority in liquidation
over the Series B Shares.

The Company has the right to redeem both the Series A and B Shares at any time
for an amount equal to their liquidation preference amount. In addition, both
the Series A and B Shares are convertible, at the option of the holders, into
Common Shares, on a share for share basis. Both the Series A and B Shares are
nonvoting.

2.  Common Stock

Compensatory Benefit Plan in 1997 and 1996.

The Company had 5,000,000 Common Shares reserved for future issuance under an

In accordance with provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company applies APB Opinion
25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee stock option plan
and, accordingly, does not recognize compensation expense for options issued to
employees. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on
the fair value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No.
123, net loss and basic loss per share would have been reduced to the pro forma
amounts indicated in the table below:

                                                   1997

     Basic loss per share - as reported        $      (.17)
     Basic loss per share pro forma            $      (.17)

Because the SFAS No. 123 method of accounting has not been applied to options
granted prior to December 31, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation expense
may not be representative of the cost to be expected in future years.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

     Expected dividend                                   0%
     Expected stock price volatility                   142%
     Risk free interest rate                             6%

NOTE G - ANGELES METAL TRIM CO.

On January 21, 1997, Consolidated Land & Cattle Company (an inactive subsidiary
of the Company) merged with Angeles Acquisition Corp. (a privately held
company). Angeles Acquisition Corp. survived the merger and is a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company. As part of the merger, the Company issued 8,638,003
Common Shares to the sole shareholder of Angeles Acquisition Corp. The shares
were recorded at the stockholder's basis in the entity. Concurrent with the
merger, the Company sold 5,496,911 Common Shares in a private transaction, for
an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000. Prior to the merger, Angeles
Acquisition Corp. acquired Angeles for approximately $4,300,000, including fees
and expenses. Angeles incurred indebtedness of approximately $4,300,000, which

used in connection with this acquisition. A portion of the proceeds from the
indebtedness was used to repay the outstanding balance of $900,000 under
Angeles' line of credit. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase
method of accounting. The allocation of the purchase price resulted in an excess
purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired of $2,384,904. This amount
represents goodwill and is being amortized over 10 years. The results of
operations for Angeles are included in the statement of operations from the date
of acquisition.

The pro forma effect on the statement of operations for the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1996 assuming this acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1996,
would have been as follows:

                                1997                         1996

meant to be indicative of the results had the acquisition occurred on the date
indicated, or which may result in the future.


NOTE H - NOTES PAYABLE

On January 15, 1997, the Company entered into a credit facility with a lender
and borrowed approximately $2,800,000. This credit facility was due on December
15, 1998 and bore interest at a rate of 2% per annum over the lender's
LIBOR-Rate. The balance outstanding at December 31, 1997 was approximately
$2,116,000. Interest expense was approximately $203,000 in 1997.

On January 17, 1997, the Company also borrowed $1,400,000 from a financial
institution at an interest rate of 9.78%, payable in forty-eight installments,
with the final payment due on February 17, 2001. The balance outstanding at
December 31, 1997 was approximately $1,132,000. Interest expense was
approximately $115,000 in 1997.

On January 12, 1998, both of the above discussed loans were repaid in connection
with the establishment of a new financing facility with Congress Financial
Corporation (Western) ("Congress Financial"). The new facility consists of
$3,443,000 in term loans, payable $57,384 per month, through January 2003, and
revolving lines of credit as determined as a percentage of eligible accounts
receivable and eligible inventories expiring January 2000, less certain reserves
as defined in the new agreement. The maximum borrowings permitted under the new
credit facility is $20,000,000, as defined in the agreement. Interest is payable
monthly at the bank's prime rate plus 0.75% per annum (9.25% at December 31,

A valuation allowance was established because of the uncertainty that the
deferred tax asset will be realized.

At December 31, 1997 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $4,400,000 and $2,200,000 for Federal and State income tax
purposes and expire through 2012. Due to the additional common stock issued in
1997 and a change in ownership, pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code, the Company's utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards may be
subject to limitation.

                                 MARCH 31, 1998
                                   (unaudited)

1.       GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Consolidated Capital
of North America, Inc. (the "Company") include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany
transactions, accounts and profits. These statements include all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to fairly present the financial position of the
Company as of March 31, 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three months then ended. The results of operations for this
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
full year.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and other Notes to Financial
Statements included in the Company's annual audited financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1997. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified
to conform with the current period presentation.

2.       BUSINESS ACTIVITIES

Prior to January 21, 1997, the Company's operations were exclusively in the real
estate business. On January 21, 1997, Consolidated Land & Cattle Company, a
subsidiary of the Company, merged with Angeles Acquisition Corp., a privately
held company. Angeles Acquisition Corp. survived the Merger and became a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company. Prior to the merger Angeles Acquisition Corp.
had acquired Angeles Metal Trim Co. ("Angeles"). Angeles and its wholly-owned
subsidiary fabricate and sell steel framing materials for commercial and
residential structures.

On January 12, 1998, the Company through a wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased
substantially all of the assets of Capitol Metals Co., Inc. ("Old Capitol"), a
privately held steel processing and service center headquartered in Torrance,
California. Old Capitol filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code on October 7, 1997. The total consideration was approximately $8,100,000,
consisting of $336,000 in cash, $1,500,000 in promissory notes, $300,000 of
Common Shares of the Company (269,349 Common Shares), the assumption of an
outstanding note and interest of $626,000, the repayment of $4,764,000 of Old
Capitol's then existing senior debt and the assumption of approximately $574,000
of costs and expenses associated with the acquisition. The Company agreed to
include the Common Shares issued in connection with the acquisition of the
assets of Old Capitol in a registration statement which is to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission during May 1998. During February 1998,
Angeles Acquisition Corp. changed its corporate name to Capitol Metals, Co.
("Capitol").

With the recent acquisition of Angeles and Capitol, the Company intends to focus
on the steel frame building business, steel service center operations and
complementary businesses. Management believes that the acquisition of Capitol
will provide the Company with several advantages toward the accomplishment of
its business objective of increasing the Company's profitability. The Company
intends to relocate the Los Angeles, California operations of Angeles to the
Torrance, California facility currently used by Capitol. In addition to the long
term reduction in facilities cost, this relocation will allow management to
combine several previously duplicative functions, creating efficiencies and cost
savings. These functions will include: materials receiving, slitting operations,
purchasing, accounting and other administrative functions. Additionally, as the
companies currently use several common suppliers, the Company believes that the
purchasing volume created by the addition of Capitol may create reduced pricing
for materials and services utilized by Angeles and Capitol.

The pro forma effect on the statement of operations for the Company had the
acquisition taken place on January 1, 1997 would have been as follows:

3.       LONG-TERM DEBT

During January 1998, the Company entered into a new financing arrangement with
Congress Financial Corporation (Western) ("Congress Financial"). The Company
incurred $8,100,000 of indebtedness from Congress Financial, of which $3,300,000
was utilized for the repayment of outstanding revolving and term indebtedness of
Angeles and $4,800,000 of which was utilized in connection with the acquisition
of Capitol. Congress Financial provided $1,400,000 and $3,300,000 in financing
under revolving lines of credit to Angeles and Capitol, respectively, and
provided $1,900,000 and $1,500,000 to Angeles and Capitol, respectively, in
financing under term loans. These loans are collectively referred to as the
"Congress Facility."

Under the Congress Facility, Angeles and Capitol can borrow up to a maximum of
$20 million. The revolving line of credit portion of the Congress Facility is
limited by the amount of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and requires
Angeles and Capitol to comply with certain financial and other non-financial
covenants, as defined in the agreement. The Congress Facility is available,
subject to

support by the appropriate levels of assets and compliance with the applicable
financial and other non-financial covenants by both Angeles and Capitol, to

with these covenants. The revolving line of credit component of the Congress
Facility is due in January 2000. The term loans are to be repaid in 60 monthly
installments commencing February 1, 1998. Amounts drawn under the Congress
Facility bear interest at a rate which is .75% per annum over the prime rate
announced by Core States Bank, N. A. for the interest period.

There are no compensating balance requirements under either of these two
financing arrangements.

All of the accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and intangibles of Angeles
and Capitol have been pledged as security for the Congress Facility. The
Congress Facility has been guaranteed by the Company and California Building
Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Angeles.

the preferred shareholders for the Series A, Series B and Series C Preferred
Shares which amount to $22,320, $13,470 and $7,233, respectively. The dividends
for the Series A and B Preferred Shares are considered as a noncurrent liability
in the amount of $35,790, as the Company will not pay dividends on these shares
in 1998. The dividends to the Series C Preferred shareholders was paid in April,
1998 in the amount of $7,233 in cash.

the purchase of the Preferred Shares, the Company issued warrants to purchase up
to 250,000 Common Shares at $2.38 per share. The warrants can be exercised any
time until March 6, 2000. In addition, the Company paid $120,000 to a company
owned by a director of the Company, for services rendered in connection with
arranging for the Series C funding. The Series C Preferred Shares have a stated
value of $10,000 per share and a 6% annual dividend rate payable quarterly in
cash, or at the option of the Company in Common Shares. The Series C Preferred
Shares have a liquidation preference of $10,000 per share, plus any accumulated

liquidation. The Series C Preferred Shares are convertible, at the option of the
holders of such shares, commencing April 20, 1998, at the conversion price per
Series C Preferred Share equal to $10,000 divided by the lesser of (x) $1.75 or

9.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         A.       Sale of Convertible Notes

The Company has issued and sold, in a private placement, an aggregate of $5.0
million of its 10% Convertible Notes (collectively, the "Notes") pursuant to the
terms of a Note Purchase Agreement between the Company and the purchasers of the
Notes (the "Note Purchase Agreement"). The Company issued $2 million of the
Notes on April 9, 1998, $1.5 million on April 16, 1998, $500,000 on June 9, 1998
and $1,000,000 on June 16, 1998. The proceeds from the issuance of the Notes
will be used for working capital. Interest is payable on the principal of the
Notes from the date of issuance at the rate of 10% per annum. The interest is
payable semi-annually on October 1 and April 1 commencing October 1, 1998, until
the principal is paid in full. The maturity date of the Notes is April 9, 1999
(the "Maturity Date"). The Company has the right, at its sole option, to pay any
interest due on the Notes in Common Shares of the Company based on the
arithmetic average of the closing bid and ask price of the Company's Common
Shares for the twenty trading days prior to the interest payment due date (the
"Interest Shares").

At any time after issuance and prior to the Maturity Date, the outstanding
principal amount of the Notes, any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
in whole or in increments of at least $20,000 of principal, may be converted by
the holder thereof into Common Shares of the Company (the "Conversion Shares")
at the Conversion Price equal to the lesser of (i) $1.75 per share or (ii) the
following conversion prices: (x) on or after August 6, 1998 at a per share price
equal to eighty percent (80%) of the arithmetic average of the closing bid and
ask prices of the Company's Common Shares for the twenty trading days prior to
the exercise date of such conversion and (y) on or after October 5, 1998 at a
per share price equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the arithmetic average of
the closing bid and ask prices of the Company's Common Shares for each of the
twenty trading days prior to the exercise date of the such conversion. Based on
a conversion price of $.633275, the Notes are convertible into 7,895,470 Common
Shares. The conversion price is subject to adjustment under specified
antidilution provisions. The Company agreed to register the Conversion Shares
and Interest Shares in a registration statement to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and to have such registration statement effective within
90 days of each issuance date. Failure to have the registration statement
effective by such dates subjects the Company to monetary penalties.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                                   (unaudited)

         B.       Handel and BINHAD Notes

The Company is in default under the Handel Note assumed in connection with the
acquisition of Capitol Metals (the "Capitol Acquisition") and has an obligation
to repay $450,000 plus accrued interest on such Note. The Company is also in
default under a $300,000 Note issued in connection with the Capitol Acquisition
(the "BINHAD Note"). The Handel Note and the BINHAD Note are subordinate to the
Congress Facility. No action may be commenced on the Handel Note or the BINHAD
Note until October 12, 1998 and January 12, 1999, respectively. Failure to cure
such default on such dates will constitute an event of default under the
Congress Facility and the Convertible Notes.

The Company has filed a claim against BINHAD for certain breaches of
representations and warranties by BINHAD in connection with the Capital
Acquisition. The Company intends to offset such damages against amounts
outstanding under the BINHAD Note.

         C.       Termination of President of Angeles

Ronald F. Martin served as the President of Angeles Metal Trim Co., an operating
subsidiary of the Company, from April 10, 1997 to May 12, 1998. As part of the
consideration for services rendered under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Martin
was granted 500,000 options with an exercise price of $2.00 per share to
purchase Common Shares. Effective May 12, 1998, Mr. Martin was terminated as the
President of Angeles Metal Trim Co. and all stock options held by Mr. Martin
were terminated.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To Capitol Metals Co., Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Capitol Metals Co., Inc. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations and
accumulated deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Capitol Metals Co., Inc. as of
December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As described in Note 1 of the financial statements, the Company filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on October 7, 1997. On
November 26, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order establishing the
procedures for the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company (see
note 12). It is not presently determinable whether the amounts realizable from
the disposition of the remaining assets or the amounts that creditors agree to
accept in settlement of the obligations due them will differ materially from the
amounts shown in the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997


NOTE 1:  BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

         Capitol Metals Co., Inc., a California corporation (the "Company"), is
         a supplier and processor of flat rolled steel for use in the
         manufacture of consumer goods. Its customers are steel suppliers and
         manufacturers throughout the United States.

         The Company incurred losses for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
         1996, has a stockholder's deficit of $9,325,651 and a negative working
         capital of $7,657,470 as of December 31, 1997.

         The Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
         Code on October 7, 1997. On November 26, 1997, the Bankruptcy Court
         entered an order establishing the procedures for the sale of
         substantially all of the Company's assets pursuant to the Asset
         Purchase Agreement dated December 1, 1997 between the Company and
         Angeles Acquisition Corp. ("Angeles"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
         Consolidated Capital of North America, Inc. ("Consolidated"). The sale
         was consummated on January 12, 1998 (see note 12). The plan for the
         disposition of the remaining assets and settlement of liabilities is to
         be filed by July 22, 1998 with the Bankruptcy Court. A hearing on the
         proposed plan is expected to occur prior to the end of 1998. It is not
         presently determinable whether the amounts realizable from the
         disposition of the remaining assets or the amounts that creditors agree
         to accept in settlement of the obligations due them will differ
         materially from the amounts shown in the accompanying financial
         statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
         adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         a.       Inventories:

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (specific identification)
         or market and consist primarily of raw materials.

         b.       Property and equipment:

         Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method based
         on the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally as follows:

          Furniture, fixtures and office equipment                    5-7 years 
          Machinery and equipment                                     5-15 years
          Transportation equipment                                    5 years
          Leasehold improvements                                      20 years

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1997

         c.       Intangibles:

         Intangible assets consist of reorganization costs and loan fees which
         are being amortized over five-year and seven-year periods,
         respectively. During 1997, it was determined that there was no
         continuing value to these intangible assets and the remaining costs of
         $267,421 were written off.

         d.       Income taxes:

         The Company and its sole stockholder have made the election for the
         Company to be taxed as an S Corporation. Therefore, corporate income is
         taxed directly as income to the stockholder. Accordingly, federal and
         state income taxes are liabilities of the stockholder and not of the
         Company, except that California levies a 1.5% corporate tax on electing
         S corporations.

         e.       Use of estimates:

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue
         and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         f.       Revenue recognition:

         The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment.

         g.       Reclassifications:

         Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified
         to conform with the 1997 presentation.

NOTE 5:  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

         The Company had a credit facility with a financial institution, which
         expired on October 31, 1997. This debt was repaid on January 12, 1998
         in connection with the establishment of a new financing facility for
         Angeles. The new facility consists of a $1,500,000 term loan, payable
         $25,000 per month, and a revolving line of credit not to exceed $10
         million, less certain reserves as defined in the new agreement. The
         maximum borrowings permitted under the new revolving line of credit
         facility are determined as a percentage of eligible accounts receivable
         and eligible inventories, as defined in the agreement. Interest is
         payable monthly at the bank's prime rate plus 0.75% per annum (9.25% at
         December 31, 1997). All advances under the new facility are
         collateralized by all of the assets of Angeles and are also guaranteed
         by Consolidated and its other subsidiaries.

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS


ITEM 24.          INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


       There are no indemnification provisions for directors, officers or
controlling persons of the Company against liability under the Securities Act
of 1933.  However, Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-110 of the Colorado Business
Corporation Act gives Colorado corporations the power to indemnify their
directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents against liability
incurred in any proceeding to which they are made parties by reason of being or
having served in such capacities, subject to specified conditions and
exclusions set forth in the Act; authorize the payment for or reimbursement of
reasonable expenses incurred by such persons in such proceedings; mandate
indemnification of directors and officers who are successful on the merits; and
permit companies to obtain directors' and officers' liability insurance.

       Article IX of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides that the
Board of Directors of the Company has the power to:  (1) indemnify any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by the Colorado Business Corporation Act; (2) authorize payment of
expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee or
agent to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is
entitled to be indemnified by the Company; and (3) purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a directors, officer, employee
or agent of the Company or who is or was serving at the request of the Company
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another Company, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as
such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the provisions of Article IX of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation.

       Article XI of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company shall
indemnify a person made a party to a proceeding because the person is or was a
director or officer against liability incurred in the proceeding if:  (i) the
person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and (ii) the person
reasonably believed:  (1) in the case of conduct in an official capacity with
the Company, that his or her conduct was in the Company's best interests; and
(2) in all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the
company's best interests; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the
person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  The
Company may not indemnify a director or officer (i) in connection with a
proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which the director or officer
was adjudged liable to the Company; or (ii) in connection with any other
proceeding charging that the director or officer derived an improper personal
benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which
proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived
an improper personal benefit.  The By-Laws provide that the Company shall
indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is
or was a director or officer, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or
her in connection with the proceeding.

       Article XI of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or who, while a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the
request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee,
fiduciary, or agent of another domestic or foreign Company or other person or
of an employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted or incurred by the
person in that capacity or arising out of his or her status as a director,
officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent, whether or not the Company would have
the power to indemnify the person against the same liability under Article XI
of the Company's By-Laws.

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed



                                     II-2
<PAGE>   105
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted against the Company by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ITEM 28.                          UNDERTAKINGS


       The undersigned registrant will:

       (1)    File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
              post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

              (i)    Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
                     Securities Act;

              (ii)   Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
                     individually or together, represent a fundamental change
                     in the information in the registration statement; and
                     notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
                     volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
                     securities offered would not exceed that which was
                     registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
                     the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in
                     the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
                     to Rule 424(b) (#230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the
                     aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent
                     no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate
                     offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
                     Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
                     statement;

              (iii)  Include any addition or changed material on the plan of
                     distribution.

       (2)    For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
              post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the
              securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that
              time to be the initial bona fide offering.

       (3)    File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
              of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.





                                     II-11

       Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted against the Company by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                   RE:    REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM SB-2

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

       We have acted as counsel to Consolidated Capital of North America, Inc.,
a Colorado Corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of a
Registration Statement on Form B-2 (the "Registration Statement") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), relating to the public offering of up to 16,830,868 shares
of the Company's Common Shares (the "Shares") (and such additional
indeterminate number of shares that may be issued as a result of the market
formula conversion rate in effect at the time of conversion and as a result of
antidilution adjustments to such Shares as set forth in the Registration
Statement).  We have examined such records, documents, statutes and decisions
as we have deemed relevant in rendering this opinion.  In our examination we
have assumed the genuineness of documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity with the original of all documents submitted to us as copies
thereof.

       In our opinion, the Shares to be sold by the shareholders named in the
Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
Common Shares of the Company.

       We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Registration Statement.  In giving such opinion, we do not thereby admit that
we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Act or the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder.
