                         Notes to Financial Statements
                                 December 31, 2008



Note 1.   Filing of Forms 8-K

          A form 8-K was not required to be filed for the quarter reporting
          any unusual charges or credits to the income or change in auditors.

Note 2.   Management's Analysis of Income From Operations

          Loss from operations for the three months ended December 31, 2008
          decreased $3,922 as compared to the three month period ended
	  December 31, 2007.  This is due primarily to the loss from real
	  estate sales in 2007, offset by increased auditors fees.
