(c) Investment in Vail Ranch Limited Partners:
On January 1, 1998, Vail Ranch Limited Partners (VRLP) sold the developed
portion of the development for $9,500,000 to Excel Realty Trust, Inc.
(Excel). In addition, VRLP entered into a joint venture agreement with
Excel to develop the remaining 13 acres for which VRLP will receive a
$1,000,000 distribution from the new joint venture upon execution of the
joint venture agreement, which is expected in February 1998. VRLP is in the
process of determining the total distributions to be made from the sale
proceeds, however, the Company received a partial distribution of
$1,286,600 in January 1998. VRLP estimates that the Company will receive an
additional $700,000 in February when the final distributions from the sales
proceeds are calculated.
4. Contingencies:
(a) Old Vail Partners (OVP), a consolidated subsidiary and 50 percent owned by
the Company, owns approximately 33 acres of undeveloped land that are
located within a special assessment district of the County of Riverside,
California (the County) which was created to fund and develop roadways,
sewers, and other required infrastructure improvements in the area
necessary for the owners to develop their properties. Property within the
assessment district is collateral for an allocated portion of the bonded
debt that was issued by the assessment district to fund the improvements.
The annual payments (made in semiannual installments) due related to the
bonded debt are approximately $144,000 for the 33 acres. The payments
continue through the year 2014 and include interest at approximately 7-3/4
percent. OVP is delinquent in the payment of property taxes and assessments
for the last five years. The property is currently subject to default
judgments to the County of Riverside, California totaling approximately
$1,467,976 regarding delinquent assessment district payments ($1,024,542)
and property taxes ($443,434).
The principal balance of the allocated portion of the assessment district
bonds ($1,184,362 at December 31, 1997 and $1,208,224 at June 30, 1997),
and delinquent principal, interest and penalties ($1,024,542 at December
31, 1997 and $889,758 at June 30, 1997) are classified as "Assessment
district obligation- in default" in the consolidated balance sheet. In
addition, accrued property taxes in the balance sheet include $443,434 at
December 31, 1997 and $399,140 at June 30, 1997 of delinquent property
taxes and late fees related to the 33-acre parcel.
In November 1993, the City of Temecula adopted a general development plan
that designated the property owned by OVP as suitable for "professional
office" use, which is contrary to its zoning as "commercial" use. As part
of the adoption of its general development plan, the City of Temecula
adopted a provision that, until the zoning is changed on properties
affected by the general plan, the general plan shall prevail when a use
designated by the general plan conflicts with the existing zoning on the
property. The result is that the City of Temecula has effectively
down-zoned OVP's property from a "commercial" to "professional office" use.
The property is subject to Assessment District liens that were allocated in
1989 based on a higher "commercial" use. Since the Assessment District
liens are not subject to reapportionment as a result of re-zoning, a
"professional office' use is not economically feasible due to the
disproportionately high allocation of Assessment District costs. OVP has
filed suit against the City of Temecula claiming that the City's adoption
of a general plan as a means of effectively re-zoning the property is
invalid. Additionally, OVP is claiming that, if the effective re-zoning is
valid, the action is a taking and damaging of OVP's property without
payment of just compensation. OVP is seeking to have the effective
re-zoning invalidated and an unspecified amount of damages. The outcome of
this litigation is uncertain. If the City of Temecula is successful in its
attempt to down-zone the property, the value of the property may be
significantly impaired.
(b) The Company is involved in other various routine litigation and disputes
incident to its business. In the management's opinion, based in part on the
advice of legal counsel, none of these matters will have a material adverse
affect on the Company's financial position.

5. Significant Events:
(a) Short term debt: The Company's $300,000 line of credit expired on November
1, 1997 and was not renewed. In November 1997, the Company entered into a
short-term loan agreement with Loma Palisades, Ltd. (Loma), an affiliate of
the Company's partner in UCV, whereby Loma will lend the Company up to
$800,000. The loan bears interest at "Wall Street" prime rate plus 1
percent on the amounts drawn. Interest is payable monthly , the principal
is due within 30 days of demand and the agreement will expire upon
consummation of new financing for UCV. As of December 31, 1997, the Company
had borrowed $450,000 of which $250,000 was repaid in January 1998.
(b) Effective January 1, 1998, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary,
Ocean West Builders, Inc. (OWB), to Michael Assof, OWB's president, for
approximately $70,000 cash. The sale price is subject to adjustment based
on the profits realized on jobs in progress at December 31, 1997. The
following is a summary of the results of OWB's operations for the three and
six month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS:
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Excluding the balance of the assessment-district-obligation-in-default and
property taxes in default related to the same property which are included in
current liabilities, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,334,304 at
December 31, 1997, which is a $1,111,690 increase from the similarly calculated
working capital deficit of $222,614 at June 30, 1997. The increase in the
working capital deficit is attributable to the cash used by operating activities
for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The following is a schedule of the
cash provided (used) before changes in assets and liabilities segregated by
business segments:

As described in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial
Statements, Old Vail Partners is delinquent in the payment of special assessment
district obligations and property taxes on 33 acres of undeveloped land. The
County of Riverside has obtained judgments for the defaults in assessment
district payments and property taxes. The amount due to cure the judgments as of
December 31, 1997 is $1,467,000. If the County of Riverside takes the property
to public sale and the judgments are not satisfied prior to the sale, Old Vail
Partners could lose title to the property and the property would not be subject
to redemption. Also as described in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements, Old Vail Partners is contesting an attempt by
the City of Temecula to effectively down-zone the property. As a result of the
judgments and the attempts to down-zone the property, the recoverability of the
carrying value of this property is uncertain.
UCV, L.P. (UCV) is currently evaluating the feasibility of redeveloping the
apartment project from 542 units to approximately 1,100 units. UCV has commenced
seeking new short-term financing for the property in an amount up to
$25,000,000, which if obtained would provide sufficient funds for funding
redevelopment planning costs over the next 18 months and for funding
distributions to the partners of approximately $2,000,000 each. UCV estimates
the annual debt service on the new financing will not exceed its current level
of debt service as a result of a reduction in the annual interest rate from 10
percent to current rates of approximately 7-1/2 percent.
The Company entered into a short-term loan agreement with Loma Palisades, Ltd.
(Loma), an affiliate of the Company's partner in UCV, whereby Loma will lend the
Company up to $800,000. The loan bears interest at "Wall Street" prime rate plus
1 percent on the amounts drawn. Interest is payable monthly and the principal is
due within 30 days of demand and the agreement will expire upon consummation of
new financing for UCV.
On January 1, 1998, Vail Ranch Limited Partners (VRLP) sold the developed
portion of the development for $9,500,000 to Excel Realty Trust, Inc. (Excel).
In addition, VRLP entered into a joint venture agreement with Excel to develop
the remaining 13 acres for which VRLP will receive a $1,000,000 distribution
from the new joint venture upon execution of the joint venture agreement, which
is expected in February 1998. VRLP is in the process of determining the total
distributions to be made from the sale proceeds, however, the Company received a
partial distribution of $1,286,600 in January 1998. The Company estimates that
it will receive an additional $700,000 from the sales proceeds. In accordance
with the partnership agreement for Old Vail Partners (OVP), the Company paid
$400,000 to OVP's limited partner in February 1998. The limited partner will be
entitled up to an additional $120,000 when the Company receives the remainder of
the distribution from VRLP.
9
Management estimates negative cash flow of $50,000 to $100,000 for the remaining
two quarters in the year ending June 30, 1998 from operating activities after
adding estimated distributions from UCV ($99,000) and Vail Ranch Limited
Partners ($1,466,000 net of distribution to OVP limited partner) and deducting
capital expenditures and scheduled principal payments on long-term debt and
short-term debt. The Company believes the cash at December 31, 1997 plus the
proceeds from the short-term loan and the refinancing of UCV will be sufficient
to fund the cash flow deficit for the remaining year.

On August 7, 1996, the Company sold its three bowling centers located in Georgia
and then on December 15, 1996, the Company sold the video game operations that
were located in the two San Diego bowling centers. The Company has no plans to
sell the two remaining bowling centers located in San Diego.

The following is a summary of the changes to the components of the loss from
operations of the bowling segment during the six and three-month periods ended
December 31, 1997 compared to 1996:

The following is a comparison of operations of the two remaining bowling centers
in California:
Although bowling revenues remained relatively flat in the six-month period, they
increased 4% in the three-month period due to a 20% increase in revenues from
open play. This increase was partially offset by a 4% decline in league play.
Revenues from open play for the six-month period were 10% higher than the prior
year, but declines in league play (4%) offset most of this increase in the
six-month period.
Bowl costs increased by $12,000 (1%) and $51,000 (12%) in the six and three
month periods, respectively. The increase in the three-month period primarily
related to: a $16,000 increase in payroll and $28,000 of pin purchases and lane
maintenance that occurred in a different quarter in 1996
Selling, general and administrative expense directly related to the bowling
segment increased by $56,000 (21%) and $28,000 (21%) in the six and three month
periods respectively. The increases are primarily related to increases of
$36,000 and $18,000 in promotion expense in the six and three month periods
respectively. The increase in the six-month period primarily relates to a
$17,000 credit recorded in first quarter of 1996 when the Company discontinued
its frequent bowler program. These costs otherwise increased primarily due to
the Company hiring a full time outside marketer to serve both bowling centers.
Depreciation expense decreased by $99,000 in the three and six month periods due
to equipment and goodwill acquired in 1983, when the bowls were purchased,
becoming fully depreciated during the periods.
RENTAL OPERATIONS:
- ------------------
There were no significant changes to the components of the rental segment in the
six and three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 except for the $51,053 and
$21,413 increases in the equity in income of UCV for the six and three month
periods, respectively. The income of UCV increased primarily due to a $91,000
and $40,000 increase in revenues in the six and three-month periods,
respectively, which were attributable to a 2% increase in rent rates and a
decrease in the vacancy rate from 2.7% to 1.4%.
11
CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS:
- ------------------------
Construction revenues decreased by $399,219 and $492,634 in the six and
three-month periods, respectively, because of an unusually large amount of
contracts completed in the previous year. Construction costs also decreased by
$348,086 and $475,977 in the six and three-month periods, respectively, due to
the decrease in contract revenues. Costs as a percentage of construction
revenues were 89% in the six-month periods ended in 1997 and 1996. Costs as a
percentage of construction revenues decreased from 90% to 85% in the three-month
periods ended in 1997 and 1996. Selling, general and administrative costs
related to the construction segment decreased by $21,000 and $34,000 in the six
and three-month periods ended in 1997 primarily related to reduced incentive
compensation.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS:
- -----------------------------------
Development costs and expenses primarily consists of legal costs incurred to
contest the City of Temecula's attempts to down-zone the undeveloped land owned
by Old Vail Partners. Interest expense related to development activities
primarily relates to interest accrued on the past due and current assessment
district obligations of Old Vail Partners. This interest expense decreased by
$26,390 and 9,668 in the six and three-month periods, respectively, due to the
payment of a $340,000 note payable in April 1997.
GOLF OPERATIONS:
- ----------------
Sales during the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 1997 continued
to be insignificant because the Company has not yet developed sales with golf
club manufacturers or distributors. The Company expects that it will be another
three to six months before the Company is able to develop sales with these types
of customers. Sales during the six and three-month periods were principally to
custom golf shops. The following is a breakdown of the character of the costs
associated with the golf operation:
