Note 4 Acquisition of properties

In September, 1996 Colonial Park Commons LLC (Colonial) was formed and
capitalized with a $300,000 contribution, of which $297,000 was funded by the
Company while the remaining $3,000 was funded by Hunter Management Company
(Hunter). Colonial acquired an 18,387 square foot office building located in
Fulton County, Georgia for $1,010,000. The purchase was financed,in part, with
a $787,500 mortgage payable. Additionally in September 1996, Meggan Lot, LLC
(Meggan) and Heide lot, LLC (Heide) were also formed and capitalized with a
$100,000 contribution into each of which $99,000 was funded by the Company
while the remaining $1,000 was funded by Hunter. Meggan and Heide each paid
$100,000 to acquire approximately .8 acres of land surrounding the Colonial
Property in Fulton County. Georgia.

In June, 1996 the Company acquired a 94% limited partnership interest in
Carriage and Compass. Prior to June, 1996 the Company had only a 5% general
partnership interest in these partnerships. The mortgages on each property were
held by the US Department of



                                       7

Housing and Urban Development (HUD); however during 1995 HUD sold the mortgages
to an unrelated financial institution. In prior years the Carriage and Compass
Partnerships had been unable to generate sufficient cash flows to fund the
required debt service payment and, as a result, had been in technical default
under the mortgage agreement. Following the purchaes of the mortgages from HUD,
the financial institution began forclosure proceedings on each property. The
Company, acting as General Partner decided to expand the Carriage and Compass
Partnerships to raise sufficient cash to fund all unpaid and accrued debt
service payments. Additionally to expedite the process of raising capital the
Company offered to purchase from the limited partners their partnership
interest for $1,000 per unit. In this regard, during March through June 1996,
the Company paid a total of $39,325 for 74% of the limited partners interest in
Carriage and 91% of the limited partners interest in Compass. The remaining
limited partners in Carriage and Compass forfeited their interests pursuant to
the terms of their respective partnerships agreements.

In 1996 the Company made capital contributions aggregating $802,465 into
Carriage and Compass to fund the accrued and unpaid debt service payments and
fully reinstate the mortgages. As a result of the acquisition of a majority of
the limited partner interest and the forfeiture by the remaining limited
partners of their interest, effective June 1 1996, the Company owned 99% (5%
general partner interest and 94% limited partner interest) of each partnership.
The remaining 1% limited partner interest is owned by Hunter who contributed
$8,105 into Carriage and Compass.

The following summarized, unaudited pro forma results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 assumes the Colonial 6Park, Hiedi Lot, Meggan
Lot, Carriage House and Compass Point
acquisitions occurred January 1, 1996:

Building for $600,000. This property is located in Woodstock, Cherokee County,
Georgia and consists of an 11,250 square foot office building. A $50,000
deposit has been escrowed by the Company pending the closing of this
transaction.

Note 5 Sale of properties

In 1997, the Company entered into a contract with an unrelated party for the
sale of Carriage House and Compass Pointe Apartments for a sales price of
$4,866,684. The contract provides that the price is to be paid by the purchaser
acquiring the properties subject to the existing non recourse first mortgage
liens on each property with a reduction in the cash consideration equal to the
outstanding principal balances due on each mortgage. The sale is scheduled to
close on May 15, 1997. The Company expects to receive approximately $1,150,000
in cash and realize a gain of approximately $350,000.

Note 6 Income Taxes

The benefit for income taxes of $3,723 for the three months ended March 31,

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity is based primarily on its cash reserves, real estate
operating and investment income, its ability to obtain mortgage financing, and
the interest income and loan repayments received on its notes receivable from
AGS Partners MLP, L.P. (MLP). These funds are used to pay the Company's normal
operating expenses and fund new acquisitions.

As of March 31, 1997, the Company had cash reserves of $425,878. For the three
months ended March 31, 1997 the Company received $74,381 in interest income
from MLP and advances receivable from MLP decreased $5,000. The Company's cash
reserves and current level of income are sufficient to meet the Company's
current level of operating expenses on an ongoing basis.

Occupancy levels and rental rates have increased substantially over the past 4
years on the MLP properties. The net operating income at the property levels
continue to be sufficient to make full interest payments on the notes payable
to the Company. As the rental markets have continued to recover, the Company
has advanced funds to MLP to make capital improvements, replacements and
upgrades to the individual apartment units, buildings and mechanical systems.
As a result of this program, in January, 1995 MLP successfully sold two of its
properties, the Birchwood and FoxFire Apartments at a substantial profit and
refinanced in March, 1995 Aspen Walk and Rolling Hills Apartments. MLP plans to
continue to make major capital improvements during 1997 in an attempt to
maximize the resale values of the properties.

The ultimate realization of the Company's investment in and receivable from MLP
is dependent on the future operations and/or sale of the MLP properties.
However based on 1997 and future budgets and recent property valuations,
management believes that the two remaining MLP properties have potential for
future operating cash flows and future re-sale values. In the fourth quarter of
1995, management decided to make a valuation allowance against the MLP notes of
$200,000. Based upon current cash flow projections of the MLP, management feels
the $200,000 valuation allowance is more than adequate at March 31, 1997.

The operating properties of the MLP and the various other real estate
partnerships in which the Company is the general partner are financed with
non-recourse debt. The Company is not liable for the principal or interest on
the mortgages and the other assets of the partnerships are more than adequate
to satisfy other recourse liabilities. Therefore, the Company's liquidity
should not be adversely affected by these general partner obligations.

In May 1995, the Company acquired for $330,000 a 75% interest in 8050 Roswell
Associates, LLC (Roswell) a Georgia limited liability Company which owns a
9,000 square foot office building in Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. Hunter
Management Company owns the remaining 25% interest. The purchase price for the
Roswell property approximated $440,000 and was financed, in part, with a
$360,000 mortgage on the building. The Company was repaid $247,500 in capital
from the proceeds of the mortgage. Based on 1997 and future budgets and recent
property valuations the investment should produce future operating cash flows
and future resale values for the Company.

In November, 1995 the Company purchased for $750,000 a 75% interest in 419
Crossville Associates, LLC (Crossville) a Georgia limited liability Company
which owns a 19,000 square foot office building in Roswell, Fulton County,
Georgia. Hunter Management Company owns the remaining 25% interest. The
building was purchased in an all cash transaction, however in May 1996
Crossville obtained an $880,000 mortgage on the property and used the proceeds
to return $600,000 to the Company. The Company and Hunter have both guaranteed
this mortgage. Based on 1997 and future budgets and recent property valuations,
the investment should produce future operating cash flows and future resale
values for the Company.

The Company is the General Partner and also a Limited Partner of AGS Carriage
House Associates and AGS Compass Pointe Associates. In 1996, the Company
expanded both partnerships to raise additional capital. In this regard the
Company has contributed $807,415 to these two properties and has obtained a 94%
limited partner interest in the partnerships. Hunter contributed $8,155 and has
obtained a 1% limited partner interest. The capital was utilized by the
partnerships to satisfy debt requirements. In 1997 the Company entered into a
contract for the sale of Carriage House and Compass Pointe Apartments for a
sales price of $4,866,684. The closing of the sale is scheduled for May 15,
1997. The Company expects to receive approximately $1,150,000 in cash and
realize a gain of approximately $350,000.

In September 1996, the Company purchased for $297,000 a 99% interest in
Colonial Park Commons, LLC (Colonial Park) which owns a 18,387 square foot
office building in Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia. Hunter Management
contributed $3,000 and owns the remaining 1%. Colonial Park obtained a $787,500
mortgage on the office building. The mortgage is guaranteed by the Company and
Hunter. In addition, the Company acquired for $198,000 a 99% interest in Heide
Lot, LLC and Meggan Lot, LLC which owns the two developmental building lots
adjacent to the Colonial Park office building. Hunter contributed $2,000 and
owns the remaining 1%. Based on 1997 and future budgets and recent property
valuation,

these investments should produce future operating cash flows and future resale
values for the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 1997 the Company
received 15,000 in fees from Hunter Management Company for management
supervisory services provided in connection with the various MLP properties.

In March 1997, the Company submitted an earnest money deposit in the amount of
$50,000 for the purchase of a 11,250 square foot office building in Woodstock,
Cherokee County, Georgia for $600,000 in an all cash transaction. Proceeds from
the sale of Carriage House and Compass Pointe will be utilized to close this
transaction.


Results of Operations

The Company's business plan includes a transition from its current asset base
of mortgage receivables from MLP and general and limited partner interests in
apartment buildings located throughout the country, into small apartment
properties and suburban office buildings concentrated in Atlanta, Georgia and
other fast growing metropolitan areas in the southeast. Consistent with this
transition, for the period ended March 31, 1997 the Company recorded an
increase of $384,535 in rental income over the $59,599 reported in 1996.

This increase is due primarily to the September 1996 acquisition of Colonial
Park Commons and the June 1996 acquisition of Carriage House and Compass Pointe
Apartments. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company recognized a
loss of $7,226 compared to a loss of $24,144 for the corresponding period in
1996. Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $545,940
versus $134,906 in 1996. The Company recognized a gain of $18,521 from the sale
of marketable equity securities for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were $552,610 compared
to $166,100 for the same period in 1996. This increase in expenses from 1997 to
1996 was the result, in part, of the 1996 acquisitions of Colonial Park,
Carriage House and Compass Pointe Apartments. Rental operating expenses
increased by $192,810 as a result of these acquisitions.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997
of $130,733 increased $6,169 from the same period last year. The increase is
attributable to the 1997 recognition of $24,690 in compensation expense
relating to the issuance of stock warrants to the outside directors.

Depreciation and amortization of $71,964 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 increased $60,496 from the same period in 1996

primarily due to the acquisitions mentioned above.

Interest expense increased $127,035 for the three months ended March 31, 1997
as compared to the corresponding period in 1996 due to the mortgages obtained
or assumed on the 1996 acquisitions and on the mortgage obtained in May 1996 on
the 419 Crossville property.

Inflation

Inflation in the future may increase rental revenues as well as operating
expenses, all in accordance with general market trends.
