(b) Investment in UCV, L.P. (continued):
On May 4, 1998, UCV paid off its existing $19,833,500 note payable with the
proceeds of a new loan of $25,000,000. The new loan is for a term of three
years and is payable in monthly payments of interest only for the first two
years and then in monthly payments of interest and principal based on a
25-year amortization schedule and the then adjusted interest rate. Interest
is adjusted monthly and based on Libor plus 200 basis points (approximately
7.64% as of May 12, 1998). The loan also provides for two 12-month
extensions upon meeting certain operating criteria. UCV used the remaining
$4,500,000 of proceeds after deducting approximately $500,000 of loan costs
to fund distributions of $2,000,000 to each of the two limited partners.
(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), resulting in a gain of approximately $3,300,000. 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 May 1998. VRLP is in the process of determining the total
distributions to be made from the sale proceeds, however, the Company
received partial distributions of $1,772,511. VRLP estimates that the
Company will receive an additional $600,000 in May 1998 when the final
distributions from the sales proceeds are calculated and the joint venture
agreement with Excel is consummated.
Pursuant to the agreement with the former limited partner in Old Vail
Partners, the Company paid $400,000 to the former partner as his share of
the amounts received from VRLP after deducting amounts due the Company for
advances.
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
$1,520,538 regarding delinquent assessment district payments ($1,076,440)
and property taxes ($464,587).
The principal balance of the allocated portion of the assessment district
bonds ($1,184,362 at March 31, 1998 and $1,208,224 at June 30, 1997), and
delinquent principal, interest and penalties ($1,076,440 at March 31, 1998
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 $464,587 at March 31,
1998 and $399,140 at June 30, 1997 of delinquent property taxes and late
fees related to the 33-acre parcel.
8
(a) (continued):
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 would 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 March 31, 1998,
the Company had borrowed $450,000 of which $300,000 was repaid.
The balance was paid in May 1998 and the loan agreement expired in
conjunction with the closing of the new financing for UCV described in
Note 3b.
9
(b)Effective January 1, 1998, the Company sold its wholly owned subsidiary,
Ocean West Builders, Inc. (OWB), to Michael Assof, OWB's president, for
67,676 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 nine month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, which are presented as discontinued
operations. Prior periods have been restated to include this business as

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 $903,888 at
March 31, 1998, which is a $681,274 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 nine months ended March 31, 1998. The following is a schedule of the
cash provided (used) before changes in assets and liabilities, segregated by
business segments:
1998 1997 Change

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
March 31, 1998 is $1,520,000. 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. In conjunction
with the planning for possible redevelopment and the September 1998 maturity of
UCV's long-term debt, on May 4, 1998, UCV paid the existing $19,833,500 note
payable with a portion of the proceeds from new long-term debt of $25,000,000.
After paying the note payable and loan costs, the net proceeds to UCV were
approximately $4,500,000. UCV made distributions of approximately $4,000,000 to
its partners of which the Company received $2,000,000.
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 May 1998. VRLP is in the process of determining the total
distributions to be made from the sale proceeds, however, the Company received a
partial distributions of $1,772,511. The Company estimates that it will receive
an additional $600,000 from the sales proceeds in May 1998 when the calculations
are finalized. 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.
11
Management estimates positive cash flow of $1,000,000 to $1,100,000 for the
remaining quarter of the year ending June 30, 1998 from operating activities
after adding estimated distributions from UCV ($2,172,000) and Vail Ranch
Limited Partners ($600,000 net of distribution to OVP limited partner) and
deducting capital expenditures and scheduled principal payments on long-term
debt and short-term debt. The debt payments include extinguishment of short-term
debt of $400,000 and a special principal payment of $400,000 on one of the
long-term notes payable as part of a proposed plan to extend the maturity date.

BOWLING OPERATIONS:
- -------------------
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 nine and three-month periods ended
March 31, 1998 compared to 1997:

The following is a comparison of operations of the two remaining bowling centers
in California:
Bowling revenues increased 2% in the nine-month period and 4% in the three month
period. In each period the bowling centers experienced a 3-4% decline in league
revenues, however these decreases were offset in each period by 10-14% increases
in open play revenues. Management feels this will be a continuing trend through
the remainder of the year.
Bowl costs increased by 4% and 5% in the nine and three month periods,
respectively. Increases in payroll and related costs of $22,000 and $24,000 in
the nine and three month periods, respectively, were primarily attributable to
the increase in the minimum wage. The remainder of the increases in the nine and
three month periods were primarily attributable to increases in food and
beverage costs associated with the increase in snack bar revenues.
Selling, general and administrative expense directly related to the bowling
segment increased by 19% and 7% in the nine and three month periods
respectively. A portion of the increase in the nine month period is attributable
to a $38,000 increase in promotion of which $17,000 related to a credit recorded
in first quarter of 1996 when the Company discontinued its frequent bowler
program. The remaining $21,000 increase related to increases in other promotion
costs related to food and beverage comps and other promotional costs related to
special programs. The increase in the three month period was primarily
attributable to a one time charge of $10,000 for payroll related expenses.
Depreciation expense decreased by $50,602 and $149,971 in the three and nine
month periods, respectively, due to equipment and goodwill acquired in 1983,
when the bowls were purchased, becoming fully depreciated after the similar
periods in 1997.
RENTAL OPERATIONS:
- ------------------
There were no significant changes to the components of the rental segment in the
nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 except for the $48,619
increase in the equity in income of UCV for the nine month period. The income of
UCV increased primarily due to a $118,000 increase in revenues in the nine month
period, which was attributable to a 2% increase in rent rates and a decrease in
the vacancy rate from 1.9% to 1.1%.

CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS:
- ------------------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company sold the stock of Ocean West Builders,
Inc. to its President, Michael Assof for $67,676 cash.
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
$29,633 and 3,191 in the nine and three-month periods, respectively, due to the
payment of a $340,000 note payable in April 1997. As described in Note 5c to the
consolidated condensed financial statements, Vail Ranch Limited Partners (VRLP)
sold the developed portion of the shopping center in January 1998 which resulted
in a gain of approximately $3,300,000. This resulted in an increase in income
from investees of $1,544,000.
GOLF OPERATIONS:
- ----------------
Sales during the nine and three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 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 nine 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:
Nine Months Three Months
Costs of goods sold
