     On June 25, 1993, the Company sold its property for $5,000,000. The
contract of sale required the payment of $750,000 by the purchasers at the
closing and a first mortgage of $4,250,000 to be held by the Company. The
mortgage principal with interest at 8% a year is due in 60 monthly payments of

September 1998. For financial accounting purposes, the Company has recorded the
sale on the cost recovery method.

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

     On June 25, 1993, the Company sold its real property in Flushing for
$5,000,000. The contract of sale required the purchasers to pay $750,000 at the
closing. In addition, a first mortgage with a balance of $4,026,513 is held by
the Company. The mortgage principal, with interest at 8% per year, is payable in
60 monthly payments of $33,241 beginning September 1993, with a balloon payment
of $4,000,617 due September 1998. For financial accounting purposes, the Company
has recorded the sale on the cost recovery method. Using this method, no profit

is recognized until cash payments by the buyers exceed the Company's cost basis
of the property plus selling expenses. This level of buyer payment occurred
during the year ended September 30, 1995.

     The $99,723 reflected as interest income on mortgage and gain on sale of
property in the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 1997 is the same amount
received in the prior comparative period.

     Interest income declined slightly due to lower rates on new investments
compared to rates on redeemed investments.

     The Company has cash and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations at
December 27, 1997 totalling approximately $1,174,000.

     The Company has no formal material commitment for future capital
expenditures.
