operations or liquidity.


NOTE 5. OPERATING SEGMENTS
- --------------------------

Significant differences among the accounting policies of the Company's operating
segments as compared to the Company's consolidated financial statements
principally involve the calculation and allocation of general and administrative
expenses.  Management evaluates the performance of the  operating segments and
allocates resources to each of them based on their operating income and cash
flow.  The Company based reconciliation of expenses that are not reflected in
the segments is $539,000 of general and administrative expenses in the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and $594,000 in 1998.  There are no intersegment
revenues and expenses and the Company conducts all of its business in the United
States.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ---------------------

Introduction
- ------------

The Company invests in equity interests in real estate through direct equity
ownership and partnerships and has invested in mortgage loans on real estate.
The Company is the successor to a California business trust organized on
December 14, 1984 which commenced operations on April 10, 1985.

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

Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 1999, were $142,000, compared with
$103,000 at December 31, 1998.  The Company's principal sources of cash have
been, and will continue to be property operations, proceeds from property sales,
financings and refinancings, partnership distributions and, to the extent
necessary,  advances from its advisor.

The Company's cash flow from property operations (rents collected less payments
for expenses applicable to rental income) increased to $7.5

- -------------------------------

million in the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from $6.2 million in 1998.
This increase was mainly due to an increase in rental rates and an increase in
occupancy at the Company's commercial properties.

Interest collected decreased to $23,000 in 1999 from $168,000 in 1998. The
decrease was due to the collection of the Company's last remaining mortgage note
receivable in August 1998.

General and administrative expenses paid decreased to $561,000 in 1999 from
$895,000 in 1998.  This decrease was due to a decrease in legal fees relating to
the Olive litigation and a decrease in professional fees paid related to
prospective property purchases.

Distributions received from equity partnerships were $2.2 million in 1999
compared to $399,000 in 1998.  This increase was due to Tri-City's sale of the
Summit at Bridgewood Shopping Center and MacArthur Mills Office Building.  See
NOTE 2. "INVESTMENT IN EQUITY METHOD REAL ESTATE ENTITIES."

Other cash from operating activities increased to $94,000 in 1999 from a use of
$225,000 in 1998.  The increase is due to a decrease in prepaids and other
assets and an increase other liabilities.

Under its advisory agreement, all or a portion of the annual advisory fee must
be refunded by the advisor if the operating expenses of the Company exceed
certain limits specified in the advisory agreement.  The Company received a
refund of $337,000 of its 1998 advisory fee in March 1999 as compared to
$202,000 of its 1997 advisory fee in March 1998.

In 1999, dividends of $.45 per share or a total of $683,000 were paid and 1,729
shares of Common Stock were sold through the dividend reinvestment program for a
total of $11,000.

Management reviews the carrying values of the Company's properties at least
annually and whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that
impairment may exist.  Impairment is considered to exist if, in the case of a
property, the future cash flow from the property (undiscounted and without
interest) is less than the carrying amount of the property. If impairment is
found to exist, a provision for loss is recorded by a charge against earnings.
The property review generally includes selective property inspections,
discussions with the manager of the property and visits to selected  properties
in the area and a review of the following:  (1) the property's current rents
compared to market rents; (2) the property's expenses; (3) the property's
maintenance requirements; and (4) the property's cash flows.

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

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company had net
income of $779,0000 and $805,000 as compared with a net loss of

         ---------------------

Results of Operations (Continued)
- ---------------------

$556,000 and net income $513,000 for the corresponding periods in 1998.
Fluctuations in components of revenue and expense between the 1998 and 1999
periods are discussed below.

Rents in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $4.2 million
and $12.0 million as compared to $3.3 million and $10.5 million in the
corresponding periods in 1998.  The increase in rents was mainly due to an
increase in rental rates and a decrease in lost rents from bad debts at the
Company's commercial properties and the initial leasing of an office building
construction of which was completed in September 1998.  Rents for the remainder
of 1999 are expected to increase as the occupancy rate at the Company's
commercial properties is expected to increase.

Property operations expense in the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 was $1.8 million and $5.1 million as compared to $1.6 million and $4.5
million in the corresponding periods in 1998.  The increases were due to an
increase in property tax and repair and maintenance expenses at the Company's
commercial properties in addition to leasing expenses relating to the lease up
of the Company's recently completed 2010 Valley View Office Building.

Interest income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 was
$10,000 and $23,000 as compared to $33,000 and $158,000 in the corresponding
periods in 1998.  The decrease was due to the collection of the Company's last
remaining mortgage note receivable in August 1998. Interest income for the
remainder of 1999 is expected to be insignificant.

Interest expense was constant at $1.4 million and $4.2 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 and as compared to 1998. Interest expense
for the remainder of 1999 is expected to approximate that of the third quarter,
unless the Company acquires or sells properties.

Depreciation increased to $690,000 and $2.0 million in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 compared to $551,000 and $1.6 million in the
corresponding periods in 1998.  The increase was due to increased depreciation
of capital and tenant improvements at the Company's commercial properties.
Depreciation is expected to remain constant, unless the Company acquires or
sells properties.

The advisory fee of $163,000 and $495,000 in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 approximated the $165,000 and $500,000 in 1998. Advisory fee
expense is expected to remain constant, unless the Company acquires or sells
properties.

Net income fee was $63,000 and $65,000 in the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999. No such fee was incurred for the nine months ended September
30, 1998. The net income fee is payable to the Company's advisor based on 7.5%
of the Company's net income.

Results of Operations (Continued)
- ---------------------

General and administrative expense was $210,000 and $539,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $206,000 and $594,000 in the
corresponding periods in 1998.  The nine month decrease was mainly due to a
decrease in legal fees related to litigation and professional fees relating to
prospective property purchases.  General and administrative expense for the
remainder of 1999 is expected to approximate that of the third quarter of 1999.

Tax Matters
- -----------

As more fully discussed in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, the Company has elected
and, in management's opinion, qualified, to be taxed as a real estate investment
trust ("REIT"), as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code").  To continue to qualify for
federal taxation as a REIT under the Code, the Company is required to hold at
least 75% of the value of its total assets in real estate assets, government
securities, cash and cash equivalents at the close of each quarter of each
taxable year.  The Code also requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its
REIT taxable income plus 95% of its net income from foreclosure property, all as
defined in Section 857 of the Code, on an annual basis to shareholders.

Inflation
- ---------

The effects of inflation on the Company's operations are not quantifiable.
Revenues from apartment operations tend to fluctuate proportionately with
inflationary increases and decreases in housing costs.  Fluctuations in the rate
of inflation also affect the sales value of properties and the ultimate gain to
be realized from property sales.  To the extent that inflation affects interest
rates, earnings from short-term investments and the cost of new financings as
well as the cost of variable interest rate debt will be affected.

Environmental Matters
- ---------------------

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, the Company may be potentially liable for removal or remediation
costs, as well as certain other potential costs, relating to hazardous or toxic
substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property)
where property-level managers have arranged for the removal, disposal or
treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.  In addition, certain environmental
laws impose liability for release of asbestos-containing materials into the air,
and third parties may seek recovery for personal injury associated with such
materials.

Management is not aware of any environmental liability relating to the above
matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
assets or results of operations.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
         ---------------------


Year 2000
- ---------

BCM, the Company's advisor, has informed management that its computer hardware
operating system and computer software have been certified as year 2000
compliant.

Further, Carmel Realty Services, Ltd. ("Carmel, Ltd."), an affiliate of BCM that
performs property management services for the Company's properties, has informed
management that effective January 1, 1999 it began using year 2000 compliant
computer hardware and property management software for the Company's commercial
properties.  With regard to the Company's apartments, Carmel, Ltd. has informed
management that its subcontractors are also using year 2000 compliant computer
hardware and property management software.

The Company has not incurred, nor does it expect to incur, any costs related to
its computer hardware and accounting and property management software being
modified, upgraded or replaced to make them year 2000 compliant.  Such costs
have been or will be borne by either BCM, Carmel, Ltd. or the property
management subcontractors of Carmel, Ltd.

Management has completed its evaluation of the Company's computer controlled
building systems, such as security, elevators, heating and cooling, etc., to
determine what systems are not year 2000 compliant. Management believes that
necessary modifications to such systems are insignificant and do not require
significant expenditures to make the affected systems year 2000 compliant, as
enhanced operating systems are readily available.

The Company has or will have in place the year 2000 compliant systems that will
allow it to operate.  The risks the Company faces are that certain of its
vendors will not be able to supply goods or services and that financial
institutions and taxing authorities will not be able to accurately apply
payments made to them.  Management believes that other vendors are readily
available and that financial institutions and taxing authorities will, if
necessary, apply monies received manually.  The likelihood of the above having a
significant impact on the Company's operations is negligible.
