                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           ---------------------------

1.   Management Plan
     ---------------

     The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
     continue as a going concern. The Company currently has no operations and is
     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 eight to twenty acre shopping centers,
     anchored by a major discount department store, a major supermarket and
     several credit rated retail tenants. The Company has located properties in
     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 also currently working with representatives of
     national retail chains to select possible sites in various areas for future
     development. 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

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 twenty 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 negotiate


                                       9.

<PAGE>

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 and
Nevada. 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.

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

     The Company had no revenue from operations during the three months ended
September 30, 1998 and 1997. The only income recognized was from relief of debt.

     The Company's expenses during the three months ended September 30, 1998 and
1997 amounted to $74,783 and $82,231, respectively. Expenses decreased by $7,448
(9%). This is mainly due to underwriting fees of $15,000 incurred in the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 less increased interest of $6,937 in the current
quarter as the company has continued to require borrowing funds to continue
operations. The net loss increased from the corresponding period of the prior
year by $22,082 (42%) because income was recognized from relief of debt in the
quarter ended September 30, 1997.

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

     The Company's liquidity over the past four 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 of approximately
$500,000 through a private offering of Convertible Notes to accredited
investors. The offering is pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of
1933. The purchasers of the notes will also receive Warrants to purchase
additional shares of Common Stock. The 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, 1998, the Company had total liabilities of $990,970, of
which (i)$121,731 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 make such payments. (ii)$869,014 represented loans and accounts payable
to others (principally professional advisors and real estate and financial
consultants and loans needed for operations), and (iii)$225 represented accrued
taxes. On that same date, the Company had cash totalling $881 which was the only
asset.






                                       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
shopping centers, the Company will generate enough cash to support its
operations.
