</TABLE>

On  February  7,  1997 the Company entered into  an  Amended  and
Restated  Revolving Credit Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"),
with  two banks that replaced the previous financing arrangements
with the banks.  The Loan Agreement provides a $60.0 million line
of  credit.  The borrowings are secured by the real estate assets
of  the  Company, with certain exceptions.  Borrowings under  the
Loan  Agreement bear interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points  for
borrowings up to $40 million, and prime plus .5% for borrowings in
excess  of  $40 million, plus certain customary fees.   The  Loan
Agreement  is scheduled to mature on February 1, 1999.  Available
borrowings under the Loan Agreement are reduced by the amount  of
letters  of  credit  outstanding.  The  Loan  Agreement  includes
certain   customary  representations  and  covenants,   including
restrictions  on  the  Company's ability  to  pay  dividends  and
maintenance  of  certain financial ratios.  As  of  December  31,
1997, the Company had violated certain covenants as set forth  in
the  Loan  Agreement, including those related  to  the  Company's
projects   exceeding   three  stories,  and   certain   financial
covenants,  specifically, those related  to  net  worth  and  net
income.  The Company believes that it will be able to either cure
these  defaults and events of default or revise the terms of  the
Loan Agreement or negotiate a replacement facility, but there can
be  no  assurance of such cure, revised agreement or  replacement
facility.  Failure by the Company to cure these defaults,  revise
the  terms  of  the  Loan  Agreement or negotiate  a  replacement
facility  on a timely basis could have a material adverse  effect
on  the Company's operations.  The subordinated notes payable  to
the  Principal Shareholder, as well as any interest thereto,  are
not allowed to be repaid until all defaults are cured and certain
minimum  net  worth levels are maintained.  As  of  February  13,
1998,  the  Company was negotiating with its banks  in  order  to
provide  adequate funding for the expansion of its Chicago  Urban
Division including the construction of a 24-story high rise which
would  include  5 floors of parking and 17 floors of  residential
condominium  apartments.   There can be  no  assurance  that  the
Company  will  be  able  to secure such financing  on  acceptable
terms.
<PAGE>
Notes payable to land sellers are non-interest bearing and are
repaid through application of agreed upon amounts from the
proceeds of individual home sale closings.

NOTE 5 - SHAREHOLDER NOTES PAYABLE

As  part  of  the  public  offering and recapitalization  of  the
Company  on July 9, 1993, the Company issued promissory notes  to
the  Principal  Shareholder.  The notes are  subordinate  to  the
Company's  bank indebtedness, bear interest at 7 1/2% per  annum,
compounded  daily,  and originally matured in  two  equal  annual
installments  on  the  first  and  second  anniversaries  of  the
offering.  On September 30, 1997, the maturity date of the  notes
was  extended  to September 30, 1998. Payment of the  outstanding
principal balances are subject to certain restrictions under  the
Loan Agreement (Note 4).

NOTE 6 - CONTINGENCIES

The  Company  is  frequently required,  in  connection  with  the
development  of  its  projects, to obtain  performance  or  other
maintenance  bonds  or letters of credit in  lieu  thereof.   The
amount  of  such  obligations outstanding at any time  varies  in
connection  with  the  Company's pending development  activities.
These   obligations  are  typically  extinguished   through   the
Company's  completion of specified subdivision  improvements  and
infrastructure.   In  the event any such  obligations  are  drawn
upon,  the  Company would be obligated to reimburse  the  issuing
surety company or bank.  There have been no such draws during the
three  months ended December 31, 1997 or the year ended September
30, 1997.

The  Company currently leases 25,000 square feet of office  space
under  a  lease  which  terminates on  March  31,  1998.   A  new
renewable  five  year lease for 15,500 square feet  which  begins
April  1, 1998 has been entered into.  Certain equipment is  also
currently leased under non-cancelable operating leases.

Additionally,  the Company is involved in various  routine  legal
proceedings incidental to the conduct of its business.
