Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On  March  31,  1999,   Commercial  Assets,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  acquired  a
manufactured  home community  located in Tampa,  Florida from Lake Shore Villas,
Inc., The Inn at Lakeshore  Villas,  Ltd., and Lakeshore Villa Health Care, LTD.
The community consists of 290 developed  homesites.  The developed homesites are
95% occupied.

The  consideration  for  the  community  was  determined   through   arms-length
negotiations  with  the  sellers.  Total  consideration  for the  community  was
$8,300,000 of which $8,000,000 was paid in cash on hand and $300,000  represents
estimated  initial  capital  expenditures  to be  made at the  community  by the
Company.  The  Company  generally  intends to  continue  to  utilize  the assets
acquired in the  transaction  as rental  properties  which is the same manner as
they were employed prior to the acquisition.

The Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for  forward-looking  statements in certain  circumstances.  Certain information
included in this Report,  the Company's  Annual Report to Stockholders and other
Company filings  (collectively  "SEC Filings") under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended,  and the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended (as well as
information  communicated  orally or in  writing  between  the dates of such SEC
Filings) contains or may contain information that is forward looking, including,
without  limitation,  statements  regarding  projections of the Company's future
financial  performance,  cash flow,  dividends and  anticipated  returns on real
estate investments.  Such  forward-looking  statements involve known and unknown
risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors  that may cause  the  actual  results,
performance or achievements  of the Company to be materially  different from any
future  results,  performance  or  achievements  expressed  or  implied  by  the
forward-looking  statements. Such factors include: general economic and business
conditions;  interest  rate  changes;  financing and  refinancing  risks;  risks
inherent  in  owning  real  estate  or  debt  secured  by  real  estate;  future
development  rate of homesites;  competition;  the  availability  of real estate
assets at prices which meet the  Company's  investment  criteria;  the Company's
ability to reduce expense levels, implement rent increases and use leverage; and
other  risks set  forth in the  Company's  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
filings.  Readers should carefully review the Company's financial statements and
the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in the SEC Filings.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Directors and Stockholders
Commercial Assets, Inc.

We have audited the  accompanying  statement of excess of revenues over specific
operating expenses of the Lakeshore Villas  Manufactured Home Community (Note 1)
for the year ended September 30, 1998. This statement is the  responsibility  of
the  management  of  Lakeshore   Villas   Manufactured   Home   Community.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance  about  whether  the  statement  of excess of revenues  over  specific
operating  expenses  is  free  of  material  misstatement.   An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statement.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting  principles used
and significant estimates made by management,  as well as evaluating the overall
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

As  described  in Note 1, the  statement  of excess of  revenues  over  specific
operating expenses excludes certain expenses that would not be comparable to the
operations of the community after  acquisition by Commercial  Assets,  Inc.. The
accompanying  statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to
be a complete presentation of the community's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects,  the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses (exclusive of
expenses  described in Note 1) of Lakeshore Villas  Manufactured  Home Community
for the year ended  September 30, 1998 in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                                                               ERNST & YOUNG LLP

                    Notes to Statement of Excess of Revenues
                        Over Specific Operating Expenses





1.  Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Properties

The  Lakeshore  Villas  Manufactured  Home  Community  is  a  manufactured  home
community located in Hillsborough  County,  Florida which contains 290 developed
homesites. In March 1999, the Community was sold to Commercial Assets, Inc.

Basis of Accounting

The  accompanying  statement  of  excess of  revenues  over  specific  operating
expenses is presented on the accrual basis.  This statement has been prepared in
accordance  with the  applicable  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and
Exchange  Commission  for real estate  properties.  Accordingly,  the  statement
excludes  certain  historical  expenses not  comparable to the operations of the
property  after  acquisition,   such  as  professional  fees,  management  fees,
depreciation, amortization and interest.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income  attributable to manufactured  home lots is recorded when due from
residents.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation of the statement of excess of revenues over specific  operating
expenses in conformity with generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the statement and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.
