1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
     information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
     accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
     such rules and regulations, although the Registrant believes that the
     disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
     It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial
     statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the
     notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.
     This condensed financial information reflects, in the opinion of

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

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

     Net income for the quarter ended March 31 increased from $132,000 in 2000
to $1,037,000 in 2001.

     Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended March 31 increased from
$4,570,000 in 2000 to $6,707,000 in 2001. Oil and gas revenues increased by
$2,073,000 primarily due to increases in the price of crude oil and gas. Real
estate revenues increased from $3,225,000 in 2000 to $3,289,000 in 2001. This
increase is due to higher rents.

     Total costs and expenses for the quarter ended March 31 increased slightly,
amounting to $3,986,000 in 2001 compared with $3,547,000 in 2000. Oil and gas
production expenses increased $65,000 real estate operating expenses increased
by $276,000, depreciation, depletion and amortization increased by $90,000, and
general and administrative expenses increased by $8,000.

     Interest expense increased from $1,024,000 in 2000 to $1,169,000 in 2001.
This increase is primarily attributable to additional real estate financings.

     The provision for income taxes includes Federal, state and Canadian taxes.
Differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory income tax rates
are principally due to foreign resource tax credits in Canada and the dividend
exclusion in the United States.


                                        7





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

     At March 31, 2001 the Company had approximately $8.4 million in marketable
securities at market value. The current ratio at March 31, 2001 was .87 to 1,
which management considers adequate at this time.

     During the first quarter of 2001, the Company chose to postpone the
refinancing of its short-term debt into long-term mortgages to take advantage of
anticipated interest rate reductions by the Federal Reserve.

     While the Company's working capital was ($2,388,000) at March 31, 2001, the
Company intends to refinance $5.7 million of its current portion of long-term
debt into long-term mortgages at lower, more favorable interest rates during the
second and third quarters of 2001.

     The Company anticipates that cash provided by operating activities and
investing activities will be sufficient to meet its capital requirements to
acquire oil and gas properties and to drill and evaluate these and other oil and
gas properties presently held by the Company. The level of oil and gas capital
expenditures will vary in future periods depending on market conditions,
including the price of oil and the demand for natural gas, and other related
factors. As the Company has no material long-term commitments with respect to
its oil and gas capital expenditure plans, the Company has a significant degree
of flexibility to adjust the level of its expenditures as circumstances warrant.

     The Company plans to actively continue its exploration and production
activities as well as search for the acquisition of oil and gas producing
properties and of companies with desirable oil and gas producing properties.
There can be no assurance that the Company will in fact locate any such
acquisitions.

     The Company also will explore real estate acquisitions as they arise. The
timing of any such acquisition will depend on, among other things, economic
conditions and the favorable evaluation of specific opportunities presented to
the Company. The Company is planning further acquisitions of investment
properties during the year. Accordingly, while the Company anticipates that it
will actively explore these and other real estate acquisition opportunities, no
assurance can be given that any such acquisition will occur.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,104,000 in 2001 and
$627,000 in 2000. The increase in 2001 was primarily due to changes in operating
assets and liabilities and higher income.

     Net cash used in investing activities was $(4,961,000) in 2001 and
$(640,000) in 2000. The variations principally relate to property, equipment
additions and the purchase of an apartment complex in San Antonio, Texas for
$5,250,000 offset by decreases in oil and gas properties held in Canada due to
exchange rate fluctuations.

     Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $1,877,000 in 2001
and $(247,000) in 2000. The variation principally relates to the issuance of
long-term debt in connection with real estate properties during the respective
quarters as well as principal payments of long-term debt. In addition, the
Company acquired approximately $198,000 of treasury stock in 2001.

     The Company believes it has adequate capital resources to fund operations
for the foreseeable future.
