            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


(1)  Accounting and Financial Reporting

          The financial statements included herein are unaudited;
     however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting
     solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the
     opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation of the
     financial position, results of operations and cash flows for
     the interim periods.   Certain information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
     in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations, although the Registrant believes that the
     disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
     misleading.  It is suggested that these financial statements
     be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
     notes thereto included in the Registrant's latest annual
     report on Form 10-K.

          The results of operations for the three and nine month
     periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(2)  Commitments and Contingencies

          In connection with the sale of one property, the
     Registrant entered into a management agreement whereby it was
     obligated to advance funds to the buyer, on a secured basis,
     to fund cash flow deficits, as defined.  On July 7, 1994, such
     property was reacquired by the Registrant (refer to Note 3).

          The Registrant has secured irrevocable letters of credit
     of approximately $1,643,000 which primarily serve as
     additional collateral securing certain financing, and utility
     and tenant security deposit bonds.  A formal request has been
     made to a lender which would result in the release of a letter
     of credit in the amount of $568,000.













                                5


(3)  Real Estate Investment Sales and Acquisitions

          On June 2, 1994, the Registrant sold Woodlake Apartments
     for $22,055,000.  In connection with the sale the buyer
     assumed the existing first mortgage secured by the property in
     the amount of $ 17,476,000.  For the three and nine months
     ended September 30, 1994, the Registrant recognized a gain on
     sale of real estate investment of $6,442,000.

          On July 7, 1994, the Registrant reacquired Nob Hill
     Apartments for $700,000 cash subject to an existing first
     lien.  Prior to the reacquisition, the Registrant owned
     junior liens secured by Nob Hill with a carrying amount of 
     $5,772,000 net of deferred gain of $5,179,000 and allowance
     for possible loan losses of $5,212,000.  In connection with
     this transaction, these liens were extinguished.  No gain or 
     loss was recognized on this transaction.  On October 4, 1994
     the Registrant entered into a contract a sell Nob Hill
     Apartments for $ 7,200,000.

          In September 1993, the Registrant sold 400 Office Park  
     for $500,000 all cash resulting in a loss on sale of $71,655.

(4)  Other Matters

          Due to the continuing decline in commercial office rents
     in the downtown Los Angeles office market, cash flow generated
     by the International Jewelry Center has not been sufficient to
     carry debt service on the mortgage encumbering the property. 
     Discussions with the lender on restructuring the terms of the
     mortgage note are on going and during this time, the
     Registrant has only been paying debt service based on
     available cash flow from the building to be applied to debt
     service and ground rent.  Although discussions with the lender
     have been open and cooperative, the lender declared the loan
     in default in November 1993. The lender has not taken any
     action to accelerate the mortgage debt or foreclose upon the
     property, however, there can be no assurance that a permanent
     restructuring will be agreed upon or that the rental market
     will stabilize or improve so that the Registrant will be able
     to perform such a restructuring and allow the Registrant to
     continue to hold this property.

    ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 


     General

          The financial statements as of and for the three and nine
     month period ended September 30, 1994 reflect the operations
     of three  office properties, one shopping center, four
     residential garden apartment properties and two joint
     ventures, although one of the garden apartment properties was
     sold in June 1994 (as referred to in the notes to the
     Financial Statements).  
          
          Changes in Total Income and Net Loss are in part
     attributable to the sale of 400 Office Park office building
     and Oakwood mortgage note, and the reacquisition of Cherry
     Hill Office Center in the third quarter of 1993, the sale of 
     Woodlake Village Apartments in June 1994, and acquisition of 
     Nob Hill Apartments in July 1994.
     
          Total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 increased to approximately $5,888,000 from approximately
     $5,804,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1993
     and there was a net loss after gain (loss) on sale of        
     investments in real estate of approximately $3,027,000 for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994 compared with a net loss 
     of $2,365,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1993.

          Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,  
     1994 decreased to approximately $19,296,000 from approximately
     $19,797,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993. 
     There was a net loss after gain (loss) on sale of investments
     in real estate of approximately $1,475,000 for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1994 compared with a net loss of
     $5,014,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993.
     
     Holiday Park Apartments

          Total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 increased to $265,000 from $252,000 for the three
     months ended September 30, 1993.  There was an increase in net
     loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994 of $37,000 compared
     with net loss of $27,000 for the three months ended September
     30, 1993.  The increase in net loss is due to an increase in 
     repair and maintenance costs ($10,000) and real estate taxes
     ($6,000), partially offset by the revenue increase.          
   







                              7

          Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 increased to $803,000 from $753,000 for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1993.  Net loss after mortgage interest
     and  depreciation expense increased to $67,000 for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1994 compared with a net loss of 
     $33,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993. 

          The increase in revenue is due to increases in base 
     rents charged to tenants.  The decrease in net income is due
     to increases in repairs, maintenance and utility costs 
     ($54,000), partially offset by the increase in revenues.
          
     Meadow Wood Apartments
     
          Total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 increased $62,000 to $1,100,000 from $1,038,000 for
     the three months ended September 30, 1993. There was an
     increase in net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest
     expense of $13,000 for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 of $71,000 compared with a net loss of $58,000 for the
     three months ended September 30, 1993.

          The increase in revenues of $62,000 for the three months
     ended September 30, 1994 is due to an increase in base rents
     charged to tenants ($50,000) and a decrease in vacancy 
     ($12,000).  The increase in net loss is due to increases in
     utility expenses ($32,000), repair and maintenance costs 
     ($20,000) and other expenses ($25,000).
     
          Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 increased to $3,208,000 from $3,084,000 for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1993.  Net loss after mortgage
     interest and depreciation expense decreased $28,000 to 
     $148,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
     compared with a net loss of $176,000 for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1993.

          The increase in revenue for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1994 is primarily is due to an increase in base
     rent charged to tenants. The decrease in net loss for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1994 is due primarily to the
     increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in
     utilities ($60,000), and repair and maintenance costs 
     ($40,000).

     Sahara Palms Apartments

          Total revenues for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 increased $32,000 to $498,000 from $466,000 for the
     three months ended September 30, 1993.  There was an increase
     in net loss after depreciation and mortgage interest expense
     of $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1994 of
     $58,000 compared with a net loss of $46,000 for the three
     months ended September 30, 1993.



                                8

          Total revenue increased primarily due to slight increases
     in base rents charged to tenants ($10,000) and a reduction in
     vacancy ($12,000).  The increase in net loss is primarily due
     to increases in depreciation expense ($20,000) and payroll
     expenses ($20,000).
                                
          Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 increased $167,000 to $1,482,000 from $1,315,000 for
     the nine months ended September 30, 1993.  Net loss after
     mortgage interest and depreciation expense decreased 
     $91,000 to $142,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 compared with a net loss of $233,000 for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1993.

          The increase in revenues is dues to an increase in
     occupancy during the nine months ($126,000) and an increase in
     base rents charged to tenants ($28,000).  The decrease in net
     loss is due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by
     an increase in contractual repair and maintenance           
     costs ($23,000).

     Woodlake Village / Redwood Village

          As mentioned in the footnotes to the Financial         
     Statements, the Registrant sold Woodlake Village/ Redwood   
     Village Apartments on September 1, 1994 for $22,055,000. A
     gain on sale of investments in real estate of $6,442,000 was
     reported for the three and nine months ended September 30,  
     1994.

          Total revenues for the three and nine months ended
     September 30, 1993 were $923,000 and $2,832,000,
     respectively, and net loss after depreciation and interest
     expense, excluding the gain on sale, was $184,000 and 
     $ 413,000 respectively.  Revenues and net loss after
     depreciation and interest from January 1, 1994 through June 1,
     1994 (date of sale) were $1,530,000 and  $215,000,
     respectively.
     
     International Jewelry Center

          Total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 of $1,644,000 was $98,000 more than total revenue of 
     $1,546,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1993.  Net
     loss after mortgage interest expense and depreciation for the
     three months ended September 30, 1994 of $861,000 was an
     increase of $119,000 compared with $742,000 for the three
     months ended September 30, 1993.

          The increase in total revenues is due to an increase in
     escalation and other income.  The increase in net loss was due 
     to an increase in real estate taxes from higher tax rates and 
     assessments ($62,000), security costs ($53,000), and repair  
     and maintenance expenses ($99,000). 


                                9

          Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 decreased $304,000 to $4,899,000 from $5,203,000 for
     the nine months ended September 30, 1993.  Net loss after
     mortgage interest and depreciation expense increased 
     $825,000 to $2,465,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 compared with $1,604,000 for the nine months ended
     September 30, 1993.
     
          The decrease in total revenue was due primarily to
     decrease in occupancy and base rents from renewal and
     restructured leases ($760,000) and a decrease in escalation
     income ($115,000), partially offset by the receipt of a
     settlement of $500,000 from a bankrupt tenant during the nine
     months ended September 30, 1993. In addition to the reduction
     in total revenues, the increase in net loss was primarily due
     to an increase in real estate and other taxes from higher tax
     rates and assessments ($143,000), an increase in security   
     costs ($125,000) and increases in repairs and maintenance   
     costs ($194,000).

     Plantation Shopping Center

          Total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 of $283,000 was $3,000 more than total revenue of 
     $280,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1993.  Net
     loss for the three months ended September 30, 1994 of 
     $324,000 was an increase of $59,000 over a net loss of 
     $265,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1993.

          Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 increased $23,000 to $951,000 from $928,000 for the
     nine months ended September 30, 1993.  Net loss after mortgage
     interest and depreciation expense increased $168,000 to 
     $ 855,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
     compared with a net loss of $688,000 for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1993.

          The increases in net loss for the three and nine months
     ended September 30, 1994 over comparable periods in 1993 are
     due to legal and professional fees incurred in connection with
     a tenant collection matter.
     
     1010 Market Street

          Total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
     1994 of $1,385,000  was $58,000 lower than total income of
     $1,444,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1993.   
     Net loss after mortgage interest expense and depreciation for 
     the three months ended September 30, 1994 of $384,000 was
     $70,000 lower than net loss of $ 314,000 for the three months
     ended September 30, 1993.
     




                               10


          The decrease in total revenue is due primarily to a  
     decrease in operating expense and real estate tax escalations
     and other income.  The decrease in net loss was due primarily 
     to decreases in repairs, maintenance and janitorial costs    
     ($41,000), depreciation expense ($43,000) and insurance     
     expense ($ 15,000), partially offset by the decrease in total 
     revenue.
     
          Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 increased $305,000 to $4,304,00 from $3,999,000 for
     the nine months ended September 30, 1993.  Net loss after
     mortgage interest and depreciation expense decreased 
     $199,000 to $943,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
     1994 compared with a net loss of $1,142,000 for the nine
     months ended September 30, 1993.

          The increase in total revenue is due to an increase in
     property occupancy ($235,000) and increases in real estate tax
     and operating expense escalation income charged to tenants 
     ($58,000).  The decrease in net loss is due to the revenue
     increase described, partially offset by increases in insurance
     expense ($21,000), payroll ($33,000) and repairs and
     maintenance ($22,000).
     
     Cherry Hill Office Center

          Cherry Hill Office Center was reacquired by the
     Registrant by credit bid of its mortgage, such bid approved
     by the bankruptcy court, in September 1993.  Total revenue
     was $362,000 and $1,132,000 for the three and nine months
     ended September 30, 1994; and $140,000 for the three and nine
     months ended September 30, 1993.  Net income after interest
     expense and depreciation was $70,000 and $203,000 for the
     three and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively,
     and $31,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1993.  The three and nine month periods ended September 30,
     1993 reflect only one month of operation as compared with
     three and nine months for comparable periods in 1994.

     Mortgage Notes Receivable Portfolio

          Interest income from the mortgage notes receivable
     portfolio decreased to $-0- and $497,000 for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1994 as compared with $296,000
     and $878,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
     1993 and acquisition of Nob Hill Apartments in July 1994.  The
     decrease reflects the acquisitions of Cherry Hill Office
     Center through foreclosure in September 1993 and Nob Hill
     Apartments in July 1994. Interest income for the  three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1993 includes only amounts
     received from the former Cherry Hill borrower as that entity
     was operating under bankruptcy court protection at that time. 




                               11


     Investment in Joint Venture

          Equity in loss of joint venture decreased $118,000 from
     $194,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1993 to 
     $76,000   for the three months ended September 30, 1994.  
     
          Equity in loss of joint venture decreased $42,000 from 
     $431,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1993 to 
     $389,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.      

          The decrease in net loss for the three and nine month
     period is due primarily to the recent improvement in occupancy
     at Riverbend Apartments ($59,000 and $60,000 respectively)
     and increases in base rents charged to tenants ($30,000 and
     $122,000 respectively).  Revenue increases for the nine month
     period ended September 30, 1994 compared with September 30,
     1993 were partially offset by slight increases in repair and
     maintenance costs ($126,000)
          
     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     
          As of September 30, 1994, the Registrant had cash and
     cash equivalents of $1,477,000 in addition to $1,400,000 of
     deposits held in escrow by certain lenders for the payment of
     insurance, real estate taxes and certain capital and
     maintenance costs.  These balances are approximately 
     $400,000 more than cash and deposits held in escrow on
     December 31, 1993.
     
            As referred to in the Notes to the Financial
     Statements, the Registrant reacquired Nob Hill Apartments on
     July 7, 1994.  As a result of the acquisition, all of the
     mortgage notes receivable secured by liens on the property
     have been extinguished.  There are no other mortgage notes
     owned by the Registrant. On October 4, 1994  the Registrant
     entered into a contract a sell Nob Hill Apartments for 
     $ 7,200,000.

          Debt at September 30, 1994 consisted of approximately 
     $118,200,000 of first mortgage notes payable secured by
     real estate owned by the Registrant.  The reduction in the
     balance of mortgage notes payable since December 31, 1993 is
     substantially due to the sale of Woodlake Apartments in June
     1994.  In that sale, the buyer assumed the mortgage note
     secured by Woodlake with an outstanding balance of
     $17,476,000 on the transaction date.  Scheduled principal
     payments will approximate $ 375,000 for the balance of 1994
     and the terms of certain mortgage notes require monthly
     escrow of estimated annual real estate tax ,insurance and
     reserves for repairs, maintenance and improvements to the
     secured property in addition to the payments of principal and
     interest.  The Registrant has no other debt except normal
     trade accounts payable and expenses.


     
                               12

          Rental revenue from the Registrant's apartment and retail
     properties has been stable.  Cash flow from all sources is
     projected to be sufficient to cover operating, financing and
     improvement costs in the near future at such properties. 
     Office markets where the Registrant owns properties, have
     experienced extended periods of high vacancy rates,
     significantly lower effective rental rates, reduced demand,
     and high risks of tenant failures and overbuilding.  Terms of 
     new and renewals of existing leases are being made that are
     significantly more in favor of tenants with reduced rental  
     rates, period of free or reduced rent and costs of altering
     and improving rented premises being borne by the landlord.

          All of the Registrant's mortgage obligations are without
     recourse to the Registrant and are limited to the encumbered
     property.  Accordingly, the Registrant has the power to limit
     the effect of the negative cash flow of a particular property
     to that property  and, if the Registrant is unable to
     restructure the terms of the mortgage indebtedness or
     otherwise to cure the cause of the cash flow deficit, may   
     choose to turn over such property to its mortgagee.  As noted
     in the notes to the Financial Statements, the Registrant is
     currently undertaking negotiations with respect to the      
     International Jewelry  Center for the restructuring of the  
     indebtedness secured by that property, and if the results of
     those negotiations do not produce a debt service consistent
     with the rental income and capital expenditures required by
     that property, the Registrant may turn over that property to
     the mortgage lender.
