    dependent upon funds from borrowing and private placement for funding its
    day to day cash requirements. The Company has been directing its efforts to
    acquiring well-leased, existing ten to twenty acre discount shopping
    centers, anchored by major national retail tenants. The Company has located
    properties in Arizona, California and Nevada that fit their investment
    criteria and it is exploring ways to finance the acquisition of these
    properties so they may generate adequate resources for the Company. Focal's
    President, who has been in the discount shopping center development business
    for over twenty-five years, is currently working with representatives of
    national retail chains to select possible sites in various areas for future
    development of shopping centers. The Company proposes to construct the
    facilities and lease them back to the retailers on long term leases. At the
    present time there is no assurance that these events will take place. If the
    Company is unable to acquire any properties or obtain additional private
    financing, there is no assurance that it will continue to operate.

2.  Loss Per Common Share
    ---------------------

    Primary loss per common and common equivalent share, assuming no dilution, 
    are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
    and common stock equivalents outstanding during each year. Fully diluted per
    share data is not presented as the effect would not be dilutive.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations.

Plan of Operations
- ---- -- ----------

     The Company's current plan of operations is to acquire commercial shopping 
centers in the Western United States.  The Company expects to target centers 
anchored by long term leases with national, credit-rated retail tenants and 
which generate positive cash flows.  The Company intends to acquire existing 
shopping centers of approximately eight to 20 acres, which are expected to 
include a major discount department store and several credit-rated retailers 
strategically spaced around the larger anchor.  Some complexes also will include
separate out-lots suitable for family type restaurants.  In addition, as the 
Company's financial condition improves and as appropriate opportunities arise, 
the Company plans to option or contract for strategically located vacant land
suitable for the development of shopping centers, such options or contracts to
be subject to negotiating pre-building leases with major retail tenants.

     The Company's investment objective in considering each potential 
acquisition is to achieve long-term capital appreciation through increased cash 
flow and increased value of the acquired property.  The Company will seek to 
accomplish this investment objective through (i) selective acquisitions of 
shopping centers which are strategically located and which generally provide 
positive cash flows, (ii) improved operations of the shopping centers and 
lease-up of unleased space, and (iii) where deemed appropriate, expansions, 
renovations and redevelopments of these properties.  A key criterion for 
property investments will be that they offer the opportunity for growth in 
revenues from operations.  The Company may purchase or lease properties for 
long-term investment or sell such properties, in whole or in part, when 
circumstances warrant.  The Company may also participate with other entities in 
property ownership, through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership.  
Equity investments may be subject to existing mortgage financing and other 
indebtedness which have priority over the equity interest of the Company.

     Currently, the Company does not own or manage any shopping centers or other
real properties.  In addition, the Company does not have funds necessary for 
the acquisition or development of shopping centers.  However, the Company
intends to rely on its management to successfully 


                                      9.

<PAGE>
 
negotiate the acquisition of existing shopping centers and vacant land in
exchange for shares of the Company's Common Stock or Convertible Preferred
Stock. It is anticipated that each such acquisition will be separately
negotiated based on the Owner's equity or tax base in the subject property. The
Company is currently conducting due diligence on certain shopping centers
located in California, Nevada and Arizona. However, as of current date, the
Company had no formal commitments, arrangements or understandings with regard to
the acquisition of any specific properties.

     The Company currently intends to adhere to a policy of limiting the 
incurrence of debt so that the Company's ratio of total debt to total equity on 
its portfolio of shopping center properties does not exceed 70%.  The Company
may from time to time modify its debt policy in light of then current economic 
conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital, the market value of
acquired properties, general conditions in the market for debt and equity
securities, fluctuations in the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock
and Convertible Preferred Stock, growth and acquisition opportunities and other
factors. Accordingly, the Company may increase or decrease the total debt to
total equity ratio beyond the limits described above.

     Although the Company currently intends to acquire shopping centers in 
exchange for shares of the Company's Common Stock or Convertible Preferred 
Stock, if the Board of Directors determines that additional or other funding is 
required to acquire the shopping centers, the Company may raise such funds 
through equity offerings, debt financing or retention of cash flow, or a 
combination of these methods.  If the Board of Directors determines to raise 
equity capital, it has the authority, without shareholder approval, to issue 
shares of Common Stock or Convertible Preferred Stock in any manner (and on such
terms and for such consideration) it deems appropriate, including in exchange 
for property.  Existing shareholders have no preemptive right to purchase shares
issued in any offering, and any such offering might cause a dilution of a 
shareholder's investment in the Company.  Indebtedness incurred by the Company 
may be in the form of bank borrowings, purchase money obligations to the sellers
of properties, secured and unsecured, and publicly and privately placed debt 
investments.  Such indebtedness may be recourse to all of the properties of the 
Company or may be limited to the particular property to which the indebtedness 
relates.  The proceeds from any borrowings by the Company may be used for 
working capital, to refinance existing indebtedness or to finance acquisitions, 
expansions or development of new properties.

                                      10.

Results of Operations
- ------- -- ----------

     The Company had no revenue from operations during the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     The Company's expenses during the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
1995 amounted to $70,870 and $45,706, respectively. Expenses increased by
$25,164 (55%) primarily the result of increased interest and additional salary
expense required as the company seeks sources of capital needed to continue
operations and acquire property. The net loss increased from the corresponding 
quarter of the prior year by $27,304 (63%) for the reasons stated above and 
during the corresponding quarter, income was recognized from relief of debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------- --- ------- ---------

     The Company's liquidity over the past two years has been materially and 
adversely affected by continuing operating losses.  The Company currently has no
operations and is dependent on private financing to fund its day to day cash 
requirements.
     
     The Company is currently seeking to raise working capital through private 
offering of Common Stock at $0.50 per share and warrants to purchase additional 
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price between $1.00 and $3.00 per share.  
Although there is no assurance that funds will be raised, all funds will be used
to finance general operating expenses while the Company locates and negotiates 
for the acquisition of shopping centers which meet the Company's investment 
criteria.

     At September 30, 1996, the Company had total liabilities of $875,611, of 
which (i) $165,264 represented accounts payable to officers and directors (all
of whom have agreed to defer payment until such time as the Company is
financially able to pay such payments), (ii) $674,473 represented loans and
accounts payable to others (principally professional advisors and real estate
and financial consultants and loans needed for operations) and (iii) $35,874
represented accrued taxes. On that same date, the Company had assets totalling
$122,574 of which $120,174 represented prepaid and deferred expenses.

                                      11.

     Management believes that proceeds from the private offering will generate 
sufficient working capital to conduct the business of the Company during the 
period that the Company negotiates for the acquisition of its first shopping 
center. Once the Company has acquired a shopping center that meets the Company's
investment criteria, which includes among other things, the ability to generate 
positive cash flows, management believes that such cash flows will provide the 
liquidity and capital resources necessary to conduct the business of the
Company, Management of the Company believes that between the funds generated by
the private placement and any cash flows resulting from the acquisition of a
shopping center, the Company will generate enough cash to support its
operations.
