Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to three months ended September
30, 2002

Revenues increased to $86,910 versus prior year of $46,966. The increase was due
to interest income in the current quarter that was not present in the same
quarter last year and an increase in management fees. Total operating expenses
decreased to $2,402 in 2003 from $12,218 in 2002 due to decreased professional
fees.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to nine months ended September 30,
2002

Revenues increased to $205,767 versus prior year of $141,937. The increase was
due to interest income on a new note receivable in the current year that was not
present last year and an increase in management fees. Total operating expenses
increased to $30,558 from $28,956 primarily due to increased professional fees.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At September 30, 2003, the Company had total assets of $41,522,945 compared to
$41,465,237 at December 31, 2002. Cash and cash equivalents were $24,364. During
the first quarter of 2003, the Company exchanged an investment in stock for a
note receivable in the amount of $585,000.

At September 30, 2003 the Company had total illiquid investments of $40,528,449,
which consists of preferred stock of Realty Advisors, Inc., an affiliated
company, and a note receivable including interest receivable of $38,786, in the
amount of $623,786 that is due on January 31, 2005.

Total liabilities were $3,081,431 versus $3,198,932 at December 31, 2002.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days of the
filing of this Form 10-Q, our Acting Principal Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, believe our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) are effective. There were not any
significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation,
and there has not been any corrective action with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
