Basis of Presentation

Note 1.

The Registrant sold eight  convenience  store  properties (the  "Properties") on
December 23, 1997.  Accounts  related to the Properties have been eliminated and
interest income has been added assuming that the net proceeds from the sale were
invested  at 5% per  annum  until  distributed  as  presented  by the pro  forma
adjustments. See Note 3 below.

Note 2.

The  Registrant  sold  Haverty's   Furniture  Store  located  in  Plano,   Texas
("Haverty's") on October 21, 1997 as reported on Form 8-K dated October 21, 1997
filed on November 3, 1997.

The  Registrant  sold five Stop N Go stores during the first nine months of 1997
as reported on Form 10-Q for the quarterly  period ended September 30, 1997. The
five stores were located in Clute,  Sealy,  Dallas,  Texas City,  and Arlington,
Texas and were sold on February  28,  March 5, March 12,  March 28, and July 24,
1997 respectively.

On September 26 and September 30, 1997, the Registrant sold the remainder of its
investments in mortgage backed  securities  ("MBS") as reported on Form 10-Q for
the quarterly period ended September 30, 1997.

Accounts  related to  Haverty's,  the five Stop N Go  stores,  and MBS have been
eliminated  and interest  income has been added  assuming  that the net proceeds
from the sales were invested at 5% per annum until  distributed  as presented by
the pro forma adjustments. See Note 3 below.

Note 3.

The  unaudited  consolidated  statements  present the pro forma balance sheet at
September 30, 1997, had the Registrant sold the Properties referred to in Note 1
and Haverty's on September 30, 1997, and the pro forma  statements of operations
for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the nine months ended September 30,
1997,  had  the  Registrant  sold  the  Properties  referred  to in  Note  1 and
Haverty's,  the five Stop N Go stores, and MBS referred to in Note 2 at December
31,  1995  and  December  31,  1996  respectively.  The  unaudited  consolidated
statements  also  present  the  historical  figures  previously  reported in the
appropriate Form 10-K and 10-Q reports.

No provision for Federal and state income taxes has been made in the  historical
or pro forma consolidated  financial statements because the Registrant qualifies
as a REIT and had  distributed  amounts in excess of its taxable  income for the
respective periods.
