                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     Financial Condition and Liquidity

     At October 31, 1996, the Company had total stockholder's equity of
     approximately $9,713,000 and a total liabilities to equity ratio of
     2.28 to 1, which improved from 2.45 to 1 at July 31, 1996.  During the
     quarter, the Company's primary sources of funds were approximately
     $453,000 from sales of real estate and $800,000 in real estate
     contract collections.  The primary uses of funds were approximately
     $270,000 for property improvements and approximately $1,002,000 for
     net debt reduction.  The Company anticipates that cash flows from
     operations, sales of debentures under its present offering and the
     availability of funds under its $8,000,000 line-of-credit agreement,
     of which only $4,332,445 was outstanding at October 31, 1996, will be
     sufficient to provide for the retirement of maturing debentures and
     mortgage obligations.  The Company plans to continue using funds to
     make improvements to its existing office buildings and to improve
     property held for sale and development, including Birdies Golf Center.

     Results of Operations

     The Company's net income for the quarter ended October 31, 1996 was
     approximately $423,000 compared with net income of approximately
     $82,000 for the quarter ended October 31, 1995.  The increase was
     primarily attributable to an increase of $565,000 in gain on sale of
     real estate in 1996 from 1995.

     Rental income increased by $20,000 (2.9%) to approximately $707,000 in
     the quarter ended October 31, 1996 from approximately $687,000 in
     1995.  This primarily resulted from rental rate increases and improved
     occupancy in commercial buildings.

     Rental property expenses were $14,149 (2.3%) lower in 1996 than for
     the comparable three months in 1995.  This resulted from decreased
     interest expense of $7,286 (6.7%), operating expense of $6,237 (1.9%)
     and a reduction in depreciation of $626 (.4%).

     Interest income and amortized discount was $96,104 (27.6%) less for
     the three months ended October 31, 1996 compared with the similar
     period in 1995 as the average outstanding balance in contracts and
     notes receivable declined during the period until company-financed
     sales of real estate occurred at the end of the quarter.

     Interest expense, exclusive of interest on debt associated with rental
     properties, net of amounts capitalized, was $52,871 (16.6%) less in
     1996 than in 1995 primarily due to a decrease in the amount of
     interest-bearing debt.
