NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT'S OPINION REGARDING INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to
Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements.

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and (iii) the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected in these
consolidated financial statements.

         Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending September 30, 2002. Certain reclassifications have been made in the
fiscal 2001 consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal 2002
presentation. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.

         Investments include $3.1 million at March 31, 2002 and $2.2 million at
September 30, 2001, which represent an investment in and net advances less the
Company's proportionate share of losses in Optiron, an energy technology
company, in which the Company owns a 50% interest and accounts for using the
equity method.

         On October 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Standards ("SFAS") 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" issued by the
Financial Standards Board ("FASB"), which requires that goodwill no longer be
amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. During the first
quarter of fiscal 2002, goodwill amortization was $22,000, all of which was
related to Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. ("Atlas Pipeline Partners") whose
fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, at which time it adopted SFAS 142. At March
31, 2002, accumulated amortization of goodwill, including Atlas Pipeline
Partners, was $4.1 million.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

         Intangible assets with lives restricted by contractual, legal, or other
means are amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill and other intangible
assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might
be impaired. The adoption of this standard did not materially impact our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

         For the three and six months ended March 31, 2001, the Company's
goodwill amortization expense was approximately $443,000 and $746,000,
respectively. Pro forma net income for the three months and six months ended
March 31, 2001 would have been $4.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively
excluding goodwill amortization, net of taxes using the Company's effective tax
rate in fiscal 2001 of 35%. Pro forma basic income per share for the three
months and six months ended March 31, 2001 would have been $.27 and $.44,
respectively. Pro forma diluted income per share for the three months and six
months ended March 31, 2001 would have been $.26 and $.43, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value.

         For cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.

         For investments in real estate loans, because each loan is a unique
transaction involving a discrete property, it is impractical to determine their
fair values. However, the Company believes the carrying amounts of the loans are
reasonable estimates of their fair value considering the nature of the loans and
the estimated yield relative to the risks involved.

         The following table provides information for financial instruments as
of March 31, 2002:

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

         Recently FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), and SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 143 establishes requirements
for the accounting for removal costs associated with asset retirements and SFAS
144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2002, and SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are
currently assessing the impact of these standards on our consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE LOANS

         The Company has primarily focused its real estate activities on
managing and enhancing the value of its existing real estate loan portfolio.
These real estate loans generally were acquired at discounts from both their
face value and the appraised value of the properties underlying the loans. The
Company records as income the accretion of a portion of the difference between
its cost basis in a real estate loan and the sum of projected cash flows
therefrom. Cash received by the Company for payment on each real estate loan is
allocated between principal and interest. This accretion of discount amounted to
$1.0 million and $1.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and
2001, respectively, and $2.2 million and $3.2 million during the six months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As the Company sells senior lien
interests or receives funds from refinancings of such loans, a portion of the
cash received is employed to reduce the cumulative accretion of discount
included in the carrying value of the Company's investments in real estate
loans.

         At March 31, 2002, the Company held real estate loans having an
aggregate face value of $605.2 million, which were being carried at an aggregate
cost of $176.1 million, including cumulative accretion and net of an allowance
for possible losses. The following is a summary of the changes in the carrying
value of the Company's investments in real estate loans for the periods
indicated:

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

         The Company, through its energy subsidiaries, enters into natural gas
futures and option contracts to hedge its exposure to changes in natural gas
prices. At any point in time, such contracts may include regulated New York
Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") futures and options contracts and non-regulated
over-the-counter futures contracts with qualified counterparties. NYMEX
contracts are generally settled with offsetting positions, but may be settled by
delivery of natural gas.

         The Company entered into 62 and 182 natural gas futures contracts,
during the three and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively, in addition
to the 17 contracts that were open at the beginning of the fiscal year.

         For the three and six months ended March 31, 2002, the Company settled
seventeen contracts at a loss of $25,000 (net to the Company). These contracts
covered a portion of natural gas production for the upcoming fiscal quarter and
these losses will appear as a component of production revenues at that time. At
March 31, 2002, the Company had 182 open contracts covering 509,600 dekatherms
("Dth") (net to the Company) which mature through September 2003 at a combined
average settlement price of $3.23 per Dth. For the current fiscal year ending
September 30, 2002, 62 of the 182 open contracts will mature covering 173,600
Dth (net to the Company) at a combined average settlement price of $3.08 per
Dth.

NOTE 6 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - (Continued)

         As these contracts qualify and have been designated as cash flow
hedges, any gains or losses resulting from market price changes are deferred and
recognized as a component of production revenues in the month the gas is sold.
Gains or losses on futures contracts are determined as the difference between
the contract price and a reference price, generally prices on NYMEX. The
Company's net unrealized loss related to all open NYMEX contracts was
approximately $152,000 at March 31, 2002. The unrealized loss at March 31, 2002
has been recorded as a liability in the Company's March 31, 2002 Consolidated
Financial Statements and in Stockholders' Equity as a component of Other
Comprehensive Income, net of taxes of $55,000. As of March 31, 2002, $44,000 of
the net unrealized losses on derivative instruments included in accumulated
other comprehensive income are expected to be recognized in revenues during the
remainder of the current fiscal year. The Company assesses the effectiveness of
its hedges based on changes in the derivatives' intrinsic value. The Company
recognized no gains or losses during the three months or six months ended March
31, 2002 for hedge ineffectiveness or as a result of the discontinuance of cash
flow hedges.

         Although hedging provides the Company some protection against falling
prices, these activities could also reduce the potential benefits of price
increases, depending upon the instrument. The Company does not hold derivative
instruments for trading purposes.


NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         As a part of the consideration for the sale of our wholly-owned small
ticket equipment leasing subsidiary, Fidelity Leasing Inc. ("Fidelity Leasing")
in fiscal 2000, the Company received a non-interest bearing promissory note.
Through March 31, 2002, the Company received $6.2 million of payments on the
note. In addition, $10.0 million of the sales proceeds was placed in an escrow
account until March 31, 2004 as security for certain indemnification obligations
to the purchaser. Through March 31, 2002, $510,000 was paid out of the escrow to
satisfy indemnification claims. The note and escrow account are included in the
Company's consolidated financial statements as components of other assets. In
May 2001, the purchaser made an $8.0 million claim against the escrow account.
The Company disputed the claim. The purchaser has not responded to our
objection. Through March 31, 2002, the purchaser made additional indemnification
claims in the amount of $10.3 million which the Company has disputed. At March
31, 2002, the Company has a $10.5 million allowance recorded against the
promissory note and escrow account. The Company reviews the allowance
periodically and adjusts the allowance, as required, to a level that is
estimated by management to provide for possible losses against the promissory
note and indemnification obligations.

NOTE 8 - PENDING SALE OF SUBSIDIARY

         On January 18, 2002, subsidiaries of the Company entered into an
agreement to sell their 100% membership interest in Atlas Pipeline Partners GP,
LLC to New Vulcan Coal Holdings, L.L.C. for $29.0 million in cash. Atlas
Pipeline Partners GP, LLC is the general partner of Atlas Pipeline Partners.

         Concurrently, the Company, Atlas Pipeline Partners and Atlas Pipeline
Partners GP, LLC entered into an agreement under which Atlas Pipeline Partners
will acquire Triton Coal Company, LLC, owner and operator of two surface coal
mines located in the southern Powder River Basin in Wyoming, from New Vulcan
Coal Holdings and Vulcan Intermediary, L.L.C. in exchange for common,
subordinated and deferred participation units of Atlas Pipeline Partners. In
connection with the Triton transaction, the Company's 1.64 million subordinated
units of Atlas Pipeline Partners will convert into 1.48 million common units,
which will constitute 14.7% of Atlas Pipeline Partners' common units and 10.5%
of the common and subordinated units in the aggregate.

         Additionally, Atlas Pipeline Partners' master gas gathering agreement
will be modified such that the Company will be reimbursed for certain costs and
collect fees as it would continue to have full control and responsibility to
manage, maintain and extend Atlas Pipeline Partners' gas gathering system. The
agreement will require the Company to drill and connect not more than 500 wells
to the gas gathering system by March 15, 2005, or be subject to specified
financial penalties. The Company will continue to sell interests in drilling
partnerships and, as in the past, when feasible, connect completed wells to
Atlas Pipeline Partners' gas gathering system.

         The completion of the sale of Atlas Pipeline Partners GP, LLC will
occur simultaneously with the closing of Atlas Pipeline Partners' acquisition of
Triton Coal Company. The acquisition is contingent upon Atlas Pipeline Partners'
unit-holder approval and refinancing of Triton's debt. Both agreements may be
terminated if the transactions are not consummated by May 15, 2002, but are
subject to an extension to June 30, 2002, if specific conditions are met. At the
time of this filing, both the Company and New Vulcan intend to extend these
termination dates through July 30, 2002.

         Our natural gas revenues were $5.9 million and $12.4 million in the
three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $3.5
million (37%) and $4.5 million (27%) from $9.4 million and $16.9 million in the
three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2001. The decreases were due
to decreases in the average sales price of natural gas of 42% and 36% for the
three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2002, respectively, which were
partially offset by increases in the volume of natural gas we produced of 10%
and 15% in the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2002,
respectively. The $3.5 million decrease in gas revenues in the three months
ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the prior period consisted of a $4.0 million
decrease attributable to prices decreases, partially offset by a $529,000
increase attributable to volume increases. The $4.5 million decrease in gas
revenues in the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the prior period
consisted of a $6.1 million decrease attributable to price decreases, partially
offset by a $1.6 million increase attributable to volume increases.

         Our oil revenues were $605,000 and $1.5 million in the three month and
six month periods ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $379,000 (39%) and
$886,000 (37%) from $984,000 and $2.4 million in the three month and six month
periods ended March 31, 2001, primarily due to decreases in the average sales
price of oil of 30% and 35%, for the respective periods. Oil production volume
decreased 12% during the three months and 3% during the six month ended March
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The $379,000 decrease in oil revenues in the
three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the prior period consisted of
$294,000 attributable to price decreases $85,000, attributable to volume
decreases. The $886,000 decrease in oil revenues for the six months ended March
31, 2002 as compared to the prior period consisted of $847,500 attributable to
prices decreases and $38,500 attributable to volume decreases.

         Our well drilling revenues and expenses represent the billings and
costs associated with the drilling of wells for partnerships sponsored by Atlas
America. The gross profit from drilling operations was $1.8 million and $3.9
million in the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively, a
decrease of $689,000 and $625,000 from $2.5 million and $4.6 million in the
three months and six months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease in our gross
profit margin from 18% and 19% in the three months and six months ended March
31, 2001 to 11% in both the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002
arose from an increase in the average cost per well and a change in the
structure of our drilling contracts to a cost-plus basis from a turnkey basis.
Cost-plus contracts protect us in an inflationary environment while limiting our
profit margin. Additionally, the first quarter of the prior fiscal year included
the benefit of a downward adjustment to our previous estimates of certain costs
in connection with a completed drilling program.

         Our well services revenues decreased $617,000 and $695,000 in the three
months and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively. This decrease was
primarily a result of a decrease in gas marketing activities of $494,000 and
$939,000 in the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively.
In the six months ended March 31, 2002, these decreases were partially offset by
increases in well operating revenues due to an increase in the number of wells
we operate as a result of new partnership wells drilled during fiscal 2002 and
2001.

         Our transportation revenues, which are derived from our natural gas
transportation agreements with partnerships we sponsor, decreased 21% in the
three months and 3% in the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the
prior period. These decreases are a result of a decrease in prices received for
natural gas transported by our pipelines, as some of our transportation
contracts are based on the price of the gas transported.

         Our transportation expenses increased 25% and 28% in the three months
and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively, as compared to the prior
period. These increases resulted from higher compressor expenses and costs
associated with two small pipelines acquired in fiscal 2001 by Atlas Pipeline
Partners.

          Non-direct expenses were $1.9 million and $3.1 million in the three
month and six month periods ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $1.1 million
(36%) and $1.3 million (29%). These expenses include, among other things,
non-direct salaries and benefits, the costs of running the energy corporate
office and outside services. These decreases were due to the reallocation of
certain costs to our production, drilling, well services and well operations
functions rather than to non-direct costs.

         Amortization of oil and gas properties as a percentage of oil and gas
revenues was 26% in the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002
compared to 15% and 16% for the three month and six month periods ended March
31, 2001. The variance from period to period is directly attributable to changes
in our oil and gas reserve quantities, product prices and fluctuations in the
depletable cost basis of oil and gas.

         Revenues from our real estate finance operations increased $1.1 million
(26%) from $4.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 to $5.6 million
in three months ended March 31, 2002. Revenues increased $1.0 million (12%) from
$8.3 million in the six months ended March 31, 2001 to $9.3 million in the six
months ended March 31, 2002. We attribute these increases to the following:

         o An increase of $1.2 million in gains on resolutions of loans and loan
           payments in excess of carrying value resulting from the repayment of
           one loan, having a book value of $22.3 million, for $24.0 million on
           which we recognized a gain of $1.6 million as compared to the
           resolution of two loans having book values of $20.0 million, for
           $20.4 million, recognizing a gain of $395,000 in the six months ended
           March 31, 2001.

         o A decrease in interest income of $325,000 (8%) and $640,000 (8%) in
           the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively,
           primarily resulting from the following:

           - The sale of six loans, one in March 2001, two in June 2001, one in
             July 2001, one in September 2001 and one in January 2002, which
             decreased interest income by $818,000 and $2.0 million, in the
             three and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively as compared
             to the three and six months ended March 31, 2001, respectively.

           - The completion of accretion of discount on six loans which
             decreased interest income by $217,000 and $328,000 in the three and
             six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively, as compared to the
             three and six months ended March 31, 2001, respectively.

           - These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our rate of
             accretion, resulting in an increase in interest income of $710,000
             and $1.7 million in the three and six months ended March 31, 2002,
             respectively.

         o An increase in net rental and fee income of $245,000 and $407,000 in
           the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002, respectively,
           as compared to the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001,
           respectively, to $317,000 and $472,000 from $72,000 and $65,000,
           respectively. These increases resulted primarily from an increase in
           our equity earnings in one real estate joint venture.

         Gains on resolutions of loans and loan payments in excess of the
carrying value of loans (if any) and the amount of fees received (if any) vary
from transaction to transaction and there may be significant variations in our
gains on resolutions and fee income from period to period.

         Costs and expenses of our real estate finance operations were $464,000
and $987,000 in the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002, an
increase of $93,000 (25%) and $226,000 (30%) from $371,000 and $761,000 in the
same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily a result of an
increase in wages and benefits, including the addition of a new president in our
real estate subsidiary to manage our existing portfolio of commercial loans and
real estate joint ventures and to direct the resolution of these mortgages and
the disposition of the underlying properties.

Results of Operations: Other Revenues, Costs and Expenses

         Our interest and other income was $2.0 million and $3.3 million in the
three months and six months ended March 31, 2002, an increase of $671,000 (52%)
and $110,000 (3%) as compared to $1.3 million and $3.2 million during the three
months and six months ended March 31, 2001. The increases in the three months
and six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the three months and six
months ended March 31, 2001 were primarily a result of increases in gains on
sales of property and equipment, most of which occurred during the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and increases in dividend income resulting primarily from
our additional share ownership in RAIT Investment Trust. Offsetting these
increases were a decrease in interest income, primarily related to interest
earned in the prior year on remaining proceeds from the sale of our small-ticket
leasing subsidiary at the end of fiscal 2000.

         Our general and administrative expenses increased $234,000 (17%) to
$1.6 million and $298,000 (12%) to $2.8 million in the three months and six
months ended March 31, 2002, from $1.3 million and $2.5 million in the three and
six month periods ended March 31, 2001. These increases primarily resulted from
normal increases in salaries and benefits including pension expense, increases
in our rent expense and donations, partially offset by decreases in our costs
for legal and professional services.

         Our interest expense was $3.1 million and $6.4 million in the three
months and six month periods ended March 31, 2002, a decrease of $587,000 (16%)
and $1.3 million (17%) from $3.7 million and $7.7 million for the three month
and six month periods ended March 31, 2001. These decreases primarily resulted
from our purchase of $7.8 million of our 12% senior subordinated notes, which
reduced interest by $157,000 and $705,000 for the three month and six month
periods ended March 31, 2002, respectively. In addition, a reduction in
borrowings and lower rates received by our real estate finance division
decreased interest by $311,000 and $469,000 in the three month and six month
periods ended March 31, 2001, respectively.

         The minority interest in Atlas Pipeline represents approximately 47% of
the net earnings of Atlas Pipeline. Because we own more than 50% of Atlas
Pipeline, it is included in our consolidated financial statements and the
ownership by the public is shown as a minority interest. The minority interest
in Atlas Pipeline earnings was $642,000 and $1.4 million for the three months
and six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to $1.6 million and $2.6 million
for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2001, a decrease of
$949,000 (60%) and $1.2 million (47%), respectively. These decreases were the
result of a decrease in net income of these gas gathering operations due to
decreases in the transportation rates received by Atlas Pipeline.

         Our equity in the loss of an unconsolidated affiliate represents our
50% interest in the net loss of Optiron Corporation, an energy technology
company formed in fiscal 2000.

         Our provision for possible losses increased $500,000 and $144,000 to
$650,000 and $800,000 in the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002,
respectively, as compared to $150,000 and $656,000 in the three months and six
months ended March 31, 2001, respectively. These increases resulted from a write
down in the current quarter, associated with one real estate loan which is
expected to be resolved in the next fiscal quarter for approximately $500,000
less than book value. In the prior fiscal year we recorded a provision for
possible losses against receivables associated with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy
filing in January 2001 of an energy customer in the amount of $356,000.

         Our effective tax rate decreased to 33% in the six months ended March
31, 2002 as compared to 35% in the six months ended March 31, 2001 as a result
of a decrease in state taxes and the benefit of tax credits related to our real
estate investments in the six months ended March 31, 2002.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         General. Following the sale of our equipment leasing operations, our
major sources of liquidity have been the proceeds from that sale, funds
generated by operations, funds raised from investor partnerships relating to our
energy operations, resolutions of real estate loans and borrowings under our
existing energy and real estate finance credit facilities. We have employed
these funds principally in the expansion of our energy operations and the
repurchase of our senior notes and common stock. The following table sets forth
our sources and uses of cash for the period indicated as follows:


                                                                                                        Six Months Ended

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

         Our working capital at March 31, 2002 was $17.8 million, a decrease of
$931,000 from $18.7 million at September 30, 2001. Our debt-to-total capital
ratio at March 31, 2002 was 57% as compared to 64% at September 30, 2001. We had
$31.1 million in cash and cash equivalents on hand at March 31, 2002, as
compared to $48.6 million at September 30, 2001. Our ratio of earnings to fixed
charges was 2.69 to 1.0 in the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to
2.97 to 1.0 in the six months ended March 31, 2001.

         Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities decreased
$4.9 million to $2.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared
to $6.9 million for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The decrease is
primarily related to the following:

         o In energy, the timing related to the receipt of investor funds raised
           coupled with billings and payments of drilling work performed reduced
           operating cash flows by $8.1 million.

         o In real estate finance, the collection of interest increased cash
           flow from operations by $3.9 million as compared to the prior period
           due to the payment in full of one real estate loan.

         Investing activities. Cash used in investing activities decreased $20.2
million for the six months ended March 31, 2002 to $3.7 million compared to
$23.9 for the six months ended March 31, 2001, principally as a result of the
following:

         o In real estate finance, investments in real estate loans and ventures
           decreased $14.3 million. In the prior fiscal period, we acquired
           senior participation interests in loans in which we held junior
           interests at a cost of $21.6 million. The remaining increase of $1.8
           million related to additions to existing loans. In the current fiscal
           period we made additions to existing loans of $7.3 million and
           invested $1.5 million in one new real estate venture.

         o We also purchased 125,000 shares of RAIT Investment Trust for $1.9
           million during the six months ending March 31, 2002, as compared to
           370,000 shares for $4.9 million during the six months ended March 31,
           2001. Additionally, in the prior fiscal period, we made a final
           payment of $2.3 million in accordance with the purchase agreement of
           Viking Resources.

         Financing activities. Cash used in finance activities decreased $56.8
million to $15.8 million in the six months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to
$72.6 million in the six months ended March 31, 2001. In connection with our
"Dutch Auction" tender offer in the prior fiscal period, we repurchased 6.3
million common shares for $57.0 million and in the six months ended March 31,
2002 we repurchased 56,200 shares for $493,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)

         We believe that our cash on hand, anticipated funds from operations,
and the amounts available under our revolving credit facilities will be
sufficient to cover our working capital needs, capital expenditures, debt
service requirements and tax obligations for at least the next 12 months. Our
ability to fund operations, make capital expenditures and make scheduled
principal and interest payments or to refinance our indebtedness will depend
upon future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by
prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some

Transactions with Related Parties:  Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures

         We are equal partners with affiliates of Frankel Enterprises in two
partnerships which own an office building and adjacent garage, respectively, in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Our corporate headquarters are located in the
building. In order to protect the value of the office building and garage, we
and Frankel Enterprises, through three separate partnerships, acquired three
adjoining properties in March 2002 for approximately $18.9 million. A subsidiary
of RAIT Investment Trust ("RAIT") provided 100% of the financing, on a bridge
loan basis. Such financing bears interest at 10% per annum and matures in June
2002. In March 2002, we and Frankel Enterprises each invested $1.5 million in
cash in the three partnerships, which used the proceeds to pay down the RAIT
loan. We are pursuing new financing, along with RAIT, to further pay down the
RAIT loan and extend its due date.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  (Unaudited) - (Continued)


Critical Accounting Policies

         We follow certain significant accounting policies when preparing our
consolidated financial statements. We provide a complete summary of these
policies in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

         Certain of the policies require management to make significant and
subjective estimates which are sensitive to deviations of actual results from
management's assumptions. In particular, management makes estimates regarding
the fair value of our reporting units in assessing potential impairment of
goodwill. In addition, we make estimates regarding future undiscounted cash
flows from the future use of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be
recoverable.

         In assessing impairment of goodwill, we use estimates and assumptions
in estimating the fair value of reporting units. If under these estimates and
assumptions, we determine that the fair value of a reporting unit has been
reduced, the reduction directly realized as "impairs," goodwill. However, future
results could differ from the estimates and assumptions we use. Events or
circumstances which might lead to an indication of impairment of goodwill would
include, but might not be limited to, prolonged decreases in expectations of
long-term well servicing and/or drilling activity or rates brought about by
prolonged decreases in natural gas or oil prices, changes in government
regulation of the natural gas and oil industry or other events which could
affect the level of activity of exploration and production companies.

         In assessing impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill, where
there has been a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount of
a long-lived asset may not be recoverable, we have estimated future undiscounted
net cash flows from the use of the asset based on actual historical results and
expectations about future economic circumstances, including natural gas and oil
prices and operating costs. Our estimate of future net cash flows from the use
of an asset could change if actual prices and costs differ due to industry
conditions or other factors affecting our performance.

         We have in the past sold participations in real estate loans which were
structured to meet the criteria for sale under generally accepted accounting
principles. As such, these amounts were removed from our balance sheet. The
amount of participations owed at March 31, 2002, which are not on our balance
sheet amounted to $21.8 million. These participations mature through June 2005
and require annual payments of principal and interest of approximately $2.5
million.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

         Recently the Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" ("SFAS 143"), and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets" ("SFAS 144"). SFAS 143 establishes requirements for the accounting for
removal costs associated with asset retirements and SFAS 144 addresses financial
accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.
SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, with
earlier adoption encouraged, and SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
We are currently assessing the impact of these standards on our consolidated
financial statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         General. We are exposed to various market risk factors such as
fluctuating interest rates and changes in commodity prices. These risk factors
can impact results of operations, cash flows and financial position. We manage
these risks through regular operating and financing activities and periodically
use derivative financial instruments such as forward contracts and interest rate
cap and swap agreements.

         The following analysis presents the effect on our earnings, cash flows
and financial position as if the hypothetical changes in market risk factors
occurred on March 31, 2002. Only the potential impacts of hypothetical
assumptions are analyzed. The analysis does not consider other possible effects
that could impact the business.

         If interest rates hypothetically increased or decreased by 10% at March
31, 2002, with all other variables held constant, the fair market value of our
$65.6 million 12% Senior Notes would increase or decrease by approximately $1.5
million.

         Energy. At March 31, 2002, the amount outstanding under a revolving
loan attributable to our energy operations increased to $42.2 million from $41.2
million at September 30, 2001. The weighted average interest rate for this
facility decreased from 5.67% at September 30, 2001 to 4.4% at March 31, 2002
due to a decrease in market index rates used to calculate the facility's
interest rates. Holding all other variables constant, if interest rates
hypothetically increased or decreased by 10%, for the six months ended March 31,
2002, the impact on earnings, cash flow and financial position would not be
material.

         We have a $10.0 million revolving credit facility to fund the expansion
of Atlas Pipeline Partners' existing gathering systems and the acquisitions of
other gas gathering systems. In the six months ended March 31, 2002, we drew
$728,500 under this facility. The balance outstanding as of March 31, 2002 is
$2.8 million. At March 31, 2002, the weighted average interest rate was 3.0%. A
hypothetical 10% change in the average interest rate applicable to this debt
would result in an immaterial change in our net income and the market value of
this debt.

         Commodity Price Risk. Our major market risk exposure in commodities is
the pricing applicable to our gas and oil production. Realized pricing is
primarily driven by the prevailing worldwide prices for crude oil and spot
market prices applicable to U.S. natural gas production. Pricing for gas and oil
production has been volatile and unpredictable for many years. We periodically
enter into financial hedging activities with respect to a portion of our
projected gas production. We recognize gains and losses from the settlement of
these hedges in gas revenues when the associated production occurs. The gains
and losses realized as a result of hedging are substantially offset in the
market when we deliver the associated natural gas. We do not hold or issue
derivative instruments for trading purposes. Through our hedges, we seek to
provide a measure of stability in the volatile environment of natural gas
prices. Our risk management objective is to lock in a range of pricing for
expected production volumes. This allows us to forecast future earnings within a
predictable range.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK - (Continued)

         We set forth in the following table our natural gas hedge transactions
in place as of March 31, 2002. The total fiscal 2002 hedged natural gas volumes
represent approximately 8% of our fiscal 2001 total gas production. A 10%
variation in the market price of natural gas from its levels at March 31, 2002
would not have a material impact on our net assets, net earnings or cash
flows as derived from commodity option contracts.

               182                   509,600                                         $      3.23             $  (152,000)
               ===                   =======                                         ===========             ============


         Real Estate Finance. The following information is based on the
Company's loans that are not interest rate sensitive. During the six months
ended March 31, 2002, our outstanding loans receivable (to our interest)
decreased $9.3 million (3%) to $283.0 million in the aggregate and the carried
cost of our loans decreased $12.8 million (8%) to $140.9 million in the
aggregate. The principal balance of related senior lien interests decreased $4.2
million (2%) to $216.5 million in the aggregate. These changes were principally
attributable to the repayment of one senior lien interest and the resolution of
one loan.

         The interest rate payable with respect to the senior lien interest
underlying one loan in our portfolio that may be deemed to be interest rate
sensitive remained unchanged due to our purchase of an interest rate swap which
locked in the interest pay rate at 8.8%. Although the stated interest rate on
the loan continues to fluctuate over LIBOR, the Company pays only the 8.8%
locked-in rate. If the effective rate for a particular payment period is greater
than the locked-in rate, the Company receives the benefit of this difference.

         The interest rates on our real estate revolving lines of credit, which
is at the prime rate minus 1% (as defined) for the outstanding $6.8 million line
at Hudson United Bank, and at prime for the outstanding $6.0 million and $5.0
million lines of credit at Sovereign Bank, decreased during the period ended
March 31, 2002 because there were three decreases in the defined prime rate.
This rate was the "prime rate" as reported in The Wall Street Journal (4.75% at
March 31, 2002). A hypothetical 10% change in the average interest rate
applicable to these rates would change our net income by approximately $90,000
and would have an immaterial effect on the market value of these debt
instruments.

         We also have a $10.0 million term loan agreement. The loan bears
interest at the three month LIBOR rate plus 350 basis points adjusted annually.
Principal and interest is payable monthly based on a five year amortization
schedule maturing on October 31, 2006. At March 31, 2002, $8.7 million was
outstanding on this loan at an interest rate of 5.6%. A hypothetical 10% change
in the average interest rate applicable to these rates would change our net
income by approximately $50,000 and would have an immaterial effect on the
market value of this debt.

         Due to the current interest rate environment, we have been negotiating
with our senior lienholders to reduce the interest rates on our senior liens. In
the six months ended March 31, 2002, we have negotiated interest rate reductions
with three of our senior participants.
