ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997.

         Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased 258%
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was mainly
due to the acquisition of KW Properties Ltd., which added approximately $6.4
million in revenue or, 31% of the revenue for the quarter. Sale of residential
real estate also increased 359% over the same period in 1997. Sales of
residential real estate included significant sales from projects in Granada
Hills and West Los Angeles, California. There was no such volume of sales in the
third quarter of 1997. The Company also sold one of its commercial properties in
the third quarter 1998, increasing the gain on sale of commercial real estate by
223% over the same period in 1997. Rental revenue increased 332% due to the
larger commercial property portfolio of approximately 1,098,000 square feet in
1998 as compared to 245,000 square feet in 1997.

         Operating expenses increased 262% for the quarter ending September 30,
1998 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was
mainly due to the 527% increase in cost of residential real estate sold as a
result of the higher sales as discussed above. Compensation expenses increased
226% and general and administrative expenses increased 117% over the same period
in 1997 due primarily to the additional costs associated with KW Properties Ltd.
Also, the debt incurred by the Company to finance its commercial property
portfolio and the acquisition of KW Properties, Ltd. generated a 273% increase
in interest expense over the same period in 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997.

         Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 increased 102%
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase was due
primarily to the acquisition of KW Properties Ltd., as mentioned above. Sale of
residential real estate increased by 150% due to the significant sales from
projects in Granada Hills and West Los Angeles, California. Rental income
increased 154% as compared to the same period in 1997 due to the larger
commercial property portfolio as compared to 1997.

         Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
increased 103% as compared to the nine months in 1997. The increase was mainly
due to the 168% increase in cost of real estate sold as a result of higher sale
as discussed above. Also, interest expense increased 137% and amortization and
depreciation expense increased 121% as compared to 1997, due to the Company's
larger commercial properties portfolio.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company believes that its cash balance of approximately $12 million
at September 30, 1998, combined with cash generated from operations and the $20
million from one of its lines of credit, will provide funds sufficient to meet
its present and reasonably foreseeable obligations.

         The Company's activities as a principal in real estate and notes
receivable acquisitions requires larger capital resources than is required by
its marketing and brokerage operations. As a result, the Company may
periodically need to obtain third party financing for such transactions. The
Company has been successful in obtaining such financing as needed at competitive
terms, and expects to be able to continue to do so in the future.
