                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

                                   (UNAUDITED)


     Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the audited consolidated
financial statements of Semele Group Inc. (the "Company"), formerly known as
Banyan Strategic Land Fund II, for the year ended December 31, 1999, which are
included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, as certain footnote
disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited
statements have been omitted from this report.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and results of operations
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been
made and are reflected.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated ventures which
hold title to the Company's property. In August 1998, the Company acquired
Ariston Corporation ("Ariston"), the results of which are consolidated in the
Company's financial statements, effective September 1, 1998. All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    On December 22, 1999, the Company acquired an 85% equity interest in Equis
II Corporation ("Equis II") and acquired the remaining 15% interest on April 20,
2000. In connection with this investment, the Company acquired a Special
Beneficiary interest in four Delaware Business Trusts on November 18, 1999. The
Company accounts for both investments using the equity method of accounting (See
Note 5).

    The Company's investment in partnerships and trusts consists of limited
partner or beneficiary interests that represent less than a 20% ownership
interest in the investees and are accounted for using the cost method.

    CASH EQUIVALENTS

    The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

    RECLASSIFICATION

    Certain 1999 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
presentation.

2.  OTHER ASSETS

    Other assets principally include equipment on operating lease and deferred
financing costs, both of which pertain to Ariston. The deferred financing costs
are being amortized over the life of the loan to which they pertain and
equipment on operating leases is being depreciated using the straight-line
method over the equipment's remaining estimated useful life. Rental income and
interest expense associated with equipment on operating leases are recognized as
earned and incurred, respectively.

    In addition, the Company, through its consolidation of Ariston, has an
interest in future rental income from two commercial buildings leased to an
investment-grade educational institution. Future minimum lease payments
pertaining to these contracts are as follows:

        For the year ending September,  2001        $ 1,123,586
                                        2002          1,150,504

3.  NOTES PAYABLE

    Through its acquisition of Ariston, the Company acquired a limited
partnership interest in a real estate investment program and assumed related

4.  REAL ESTATE HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT

    Rancho Malibu is a 274-acre parcel of undeveloped land north of Malibu,
California ("Project"). On July 1, 1992, a joint venture (the "Venture") between
the Company and Legend Properties, Inc. (f/k/a Banyan Mortgage Investment Fund)
("Legend") acquired title to the property pursuant to a deed in lieu of
foreclosure agreement. The Company owned a 98.6% general partner interest in the
Venture while Legend owned the remaining 1.4% interest as a limited partner. On
May 10, 2000 the Company acquired the 1.4% limited partner interest held by
Legend for nominal consideration and a mutual general release. The Venture's
results are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.

    Commencing in 1992, the Venture was engaged in zoning and entitlement
activities that had been opposed by the City of Malibu and various citizen
groups. The city and a neighboring homeowners association initiated several
legal actions intended to preclude the development of the property, all of which
were ultimately resolved in favor of the Venture or settled during 1998. The
Venture currently is entitled to develop a 46 unit housing community on
approximately 40 acres of the property. The remaining 234 acres will be
allocated as follows: (i) 167 acres will be dedicated to a public agency, (ii)
approximately 47 acres will be deed restricted within privately owned lots and
(iii) approximately 20 acres will be preserved as private open space.

    During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Venture incurred
approximately $161,351 of costs in connection with Rancho Malibu. The expenses
are primarily related to the Venture's efforts to successfully satisfy a number
of complex requirements imposed by various state, local and federal entities in
order to commence development. These costs are reflected as total expenses from
property operating activities on the Company's consolidated statement of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The Venture capitalized
$206,985 of costs related to the development of the property during the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2000, the Company's carrying
balance for the property was $10,252,478.

5.  TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

ACQUISITION OF EQUIS II CORPORATION AND SPECIAL BENEFICIARY INTERESTS

    On December 22, 1999, the Company acquired an 85% equity interest in Equis
II that the Company financed by issuing purchase-money notes totaling
$19,586,000 to the selling Equis II stockholders. On April 20, 2000, the Company
acquired the remaining 15% of Equis II by issuing 510,000 shares of common stock
to the selling Equis II stockholders. The closing price of the Company's stock
on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on April 20, 2000 was $4.625 per share. Therefore,
the total market value of the 510,000 shares of common stock issued to the
selling Equis II stockholders was $2,358,750. In connection with this
investment, the Company also acquired a Special Beneficiary interest in four
Delaware Business Trusts known as AFG Investment Trust A, AFG Investment Trust
B, AFG Investment Trust C, and AFG Investment Trust D (collectively, the
"Trusts") for $9,652,500 on November 18, 1999 that the Company financed by
issuing a non-recourse purchase-money note. The Trusts are engaged principally
in the business of equipment leasing. In recent years, they each have made
additional investments in certain real estate projects, including a Class A
interest in EFG/Kirkwood Capital LLC. The Company owns a Class B interest in
EFG/Kirkwood Capital LLC that it acquired in 1999. (See "Other Investments"
below.) In addition, a subsidiary of the Company serves as general partner to a
Canadian real estate development project in which Trusts C and D are partial
investors.

EQUIS II CORPORATION

    The selling Equis II stockholders were Gary D. Engle, President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, James
A. Coyne, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and certain
trusts established for the benefit of Mr. Engle's children. Equis II was
organized in the State of Delaware in 1997 and commenced operations on July 17,
1997. Equis II owns the following Class B interests: AFG Investment Trust A
(822,863 interests), AFG Investment Trust B (997,373 interests), AFG Investment
Trust C (3,019,220 interests), and AFG Investment Trust D (3,140,683 interests)
(collectively, the "Class B Interests"). AFG Investment Trust A owns 20,969
shares of the Company's common stock and has a note receivable from the Company
equal to $462,353 that matures in April 2001. Through its ownership of the Class
B Interests, Equis II holds approximately 62% of the voting interests in each of
the Trusts, although on certain matters, principally those involving
transactions with related parties, is obligated to vote its interests with the
majority of unaffiliated investors. Equis II also owns AFG ASIT Corporation, the
Managing Trustee of the Trusts. As Managing Trustee of the Trusts, AFG ASIT
Corporation has a 1% carried interest in the Trusts and significant influence
over the operations of the Trusts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Engle has
voting control of the Class B Interests and AFG ASIT Corporation pursuant to the
terms of a Voting Trust Agreement executed in connection with the Equis II
transaction. The voting trust may be terminated at any time by the agreement of
Equis II and Mr. Engle and will automatically terminate when the $19,586,000 of
promissory notes delivered by the Company in connection with the purchase of
Equis II have been paid in full (See Note 8 - Subsequent Event).

    As a result of the foregoing, the Company's investment in Equis II has been
accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of
accounting, the Company's investment is (i) increased (decreased) to reflect the
Company's share of income (loss) of the investee and (ii) decreased to reflect
any distributions the Company received from the investee. The Company's
investment in Equis II increased by $1,719,198 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, reflecting its share of income from Equis II. The cost of
the Company's investment in Equis II, $21,944,750, was based on the estimated
discounted future cash flows of Equis II. The Company's cost basis in this
investment was approximately $19,318,000 greater than its equity interest in the
underlying net assets. This difference is being amortized over a period of 6
years. The amount amortized is included as an offset to Investment in Equis II
and was $2,343,397 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

SPECIAL BENEFICIARY INTERESTS

    The Special Beneficiary interests were purchased from an affiliate, Equis
Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG"), for $9,652,500 and represent an
8.25% non-voting, carried interest in each of the Trusts. The Special
Beneficiary interests were purchased with a non-recourse note having a 10 year
term that bears interest at 7% per year. Interest and principal payments are
required to be paid only out of and to the extent of cash distributions paid to
the Company on account of the Special Beneficiary interests. To date, the
Company has received cash distributions of $3,189,168 from its Special
Beneficiary interests and paid EFG an equal amount of principal and accrued
interest in connection with the note. The outstanding balance of this note was
$6,634,544 at September 30, 2000.

    The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company's investment is
(i) increased (decreased) to reflect the Company's share of income (loss) of the
investee and (ii) decreased to reflect any distributions the Company received
from the investee. The Company's investment was increased by $950,583 during the
nine months ended September 30, 2000, reflecting its share of income from the
Special Beneficiary Interests and decreased by $3,102,000 for the same period
reflecting distributions received from the Special Beneficiary interests. The
cost of the Special Beneficiary Interests was based on the estimated discounted
future cash flows of the Special Beneficiary Interests. The Company's cost basis
in this investment was approximately $7,313,000 greater than its equity interest
in the underlying net assets. This difference is being amortized over a period
of 6 years. The amount amortized is included as an offset to Special Beneficiary
Interests and was $914,152 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000.

EQUIS II CORPORATION - TRANSACTION TERMS AND SOURCE OF FUNDS

    The Company purchased 85% of the common stock of Equis II by delivering
promissory notes to the selling Equis II stockholders having a total principal
value of $19,586,000. In connection with the acquisition, Messrs. Engle and
Coyne delivered back to the Company, and the Company canceled, the options that
each of them held to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an
exercise price of $9.25 per share that were granted to them on December 30,
1997. A portion of the notes, having an aggregate principal amount of
$14,600,000, mature on October 31, 2005, and bear interest at the annual rate of
7%, of which 3% is due and payable on a current quarterly basis and 4% accrues
to the maturity date. Principal payments of $3,600,000, $4,000,000, $4,000,000
and $3,000,000 are due and payable on May 31, 2000, October 31, 2002, May 31,
2003, and the maturity date, respectively. The $14,600,000 of notes are
prepayable without penalty. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had not repaid
the $3,600,000 of principal plus accrued interest that was due on May 31, 2000.
The Company will repay the $3,600,000 of principal plus accrued interest by
issuing shares of common stock of the Company to the noteholders who include
Messrs. Engle and Coyne (See Note 8 Subsequent Event).

    The balance of the promissory notes issued to the Equis II stockholders in
connection with the purchase of 85% of Equis II, which have a total principal
value of $4,986,000, have terms identical to the terms of promissory notes
payable by Messrs. Engle and Coyne to Equis II ($1,901,000) and to Old North
Capital Limited Partnership ($3,085,000). (The Company, through its subsidiary
Ariston Corporation, has a 98% limited partnership interest in Old North Capital
Limited Partnership.) Therefore, the Company is effectively the payee of notes
and accrued interest from Messrs. Engle and Coyne of $4,986,000, and it is the
payor of notes to Messrs. Engle and Coyne and the Engle family trusts in the
same amount. Of the $4,986,000 of promissory notes issued by the Company to the
selling Equis II stockholders, promissory notes having a total principal value
of $1,901,000 have terms identical to promissory notes payable to Equis II from
Messrs. Engle and Coyne. These notes bear interest at the annual rate of 7.5%
payable quarterly, and all outstanding principal and interest is due on August
8, 2007. The $3,085,000 balance of the promissory notes issued by the Company to
the selling Equis II stockholders have terms identical to a promissory note
payable to Old North Capital Limited Partnership by Messrs. Engle and Coyne,
which bears interest at the annual rate of 11.5% and is payable on demand. The
Company intends to make the payments on the $4,986,000 of promissory notes from
the proceeds of payments made by Messrs. Engle and Coyne on their indebtedness
to Equis II and Old North Capital Limited Partnership. If either individual
fails to make timely payments, the Company will be relieved of its obligations
on the $4,986,000 of notes until the default is cured. On January 26, 2000,
Messrs. Engle and Coyne paid principal and accrued interest of $2,082,302 to Old
North Capital Limited Partnership in partial payment of their respective notes.
On the same date, the Company paid principal and accrued interest to Messrs.
Engle and Coyne of $2,082,302 in partial payment of notes issued to them by the
Company in connection with the Equis II transaction. The outstanding balance on
the promissory notes issued to the Equis II stockholders was $17,537,205 at
September 30, 2000.

    The promissory notes issued to the Equis II stockholders are general
obligations of the Company secured by a pledge to the selling Equis II
stockholders of the shares of Equis II owned by the Company. In the case of the
$14,600,000 of promissory notes, those notes issued to Mr. Engle and to the
Engle family trusts become immediately due and payable if Mr. Engle ceases to be
the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, except if he resigns
voluntarily or is terminated for cause, and those notes issued to Mr. Coyne
become immediately due and payable if Mr. Coyne ceases to be the President and a
director of the Company, except if he resigns voluntarily or is terminated for
cause, as cause is defined in the executives' employment agreements with the
Company.


                                       10
<PAGE>

    In connection with the purchase, the Company entered into a put and call
agreement with Messrs. Engle and Coyne and the Engle family trusts, which gave
the Company a call right to purchase from these Equis II stockholders, and gave
these Equis II stockholders a put right to sell to the Company, subject to
shareholder approval, the 15% of Equis II that Messrs. Engle and Coyne and the
Engle family trusts continued to own. A special committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company, consisting of Messrs. Auch, Bartlett and Ungerleider,
the Company's independent directors, unanimously approved the purchase by the
Company of 85% of Equis II and the entering into of the put and call agreement
to purchase the remaining 15% balance. On March 6, 2000, the Company obtained
shareholder approval for the issuance of 510,000 shares of common stock to
purchase the remaining 15% interest of Equis II. Subsequently, the selling Equis
II shareholders elected to exercise their rights to put their remaining 15%
ownership interests in Equis II to the Company in exchange for 510,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. On April 20, 2000, the Company issued 510,000 shares
of common stock to the selling Equis II stockholders. The closing price of the
Company's stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on April 20, 2000 was $4.625 per
share. Therefore, the total market value of the 510,000 shares of common stock
issued to the selling Equis II stockholders was $2,358,750.

ACQUISITION OF ARISTON CORPORATION

    The Company purchased all of the common stock of Ariston from EFG for cash
of $2 million and a purchase-money note of $10,450,000 (the "Note") on September
1, 1998. The total fair value of the assets acquired was estimated to be
$12,450,000. The Ariston acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method
of accounting and the balance sheet and statement of operations of Ariston were
consolidated effective September 1, 1998. The Note bears interest at the
annualized rate of 7%, payable quarterly in arrears, and requires principal
reductions based upon the cash flows generated by Ariston. The Note matures on
August 31, 2003 and is recourse only to the common stock of Ariston. The cost of
the Ariston acquisition was allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value
of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In October 1998, Ariston
declared and paid a cash distribution of $2,020,000 to the Company. Until the
Note is retired, future cash distributions by Ariston require the consent of
EFG. On January 26, 2000, the Company paid $2,082,302 of principal and accrued
interest in partial payment of this Note. The outstanding balance of this
indebtedness was $8,418,496 at September 30, 2000.

INDEBTEDNESS

    The Company obtained a loan of $4,419,500 from certain affiliates in 1997.
The loan bears interest at an annualized rate of 10% and provides for mandatory
principal reductions, if and to the extent the Company realizes any net cash
proceeds from the sale or refinancing of its Rancho Malibu property. The loan,
which was to mature on April 30, 2000, was extended to April 30, 2001. During
each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company
incurred interest expense of $330,554 in connection with this indebtedness. At
September 30, 2000, the carrying value of the note approximates its estimated
fair value.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES

    The Company's administrative functions are performed by an affiliate, EFG,
pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement between the Company and EFG
dated May 7, 1997. EFG is reimbursed at actual cost for expenses it incurs on
the Company's behalf. Administrative expenses consist primarily of professional
and clerical salaries and certain rental expenses. The Company incurred total
administrative costs of $116,220 and $113,842 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

6.  OTHER INVESTMENTS

    On May 1, 1999, the Company and the Trusts formed EFG/Kirkwood Capital LLC
("EFG/Kirkwood") for the purpose of acquiring preferred and common stock
interests in Kirkwood Associates Inc. ("KAI"). The Company purchased a Class B
interest in EFG/Kirkwood and the Trusts purchased Class A interests in
EFG/Kirkwood. Generally, the Class A Interest holders are entitled to certain
preferred returns prior to distributions being paid to the Company, as Class B
interest holder. On May 1, 2000 the Company exchanged its interests in KAI
common stock and preferred stock for corresponding pro-rata interests in
Mountain Resort Holdings LLC ("Mountain Resort"). Mountain Resort owns the
Kirkwood ski resort, a local public utility, and land that is held for
development. The resort is located in Kirkwood, California and is approximately
30 miles from South Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The Company's investment in EFG/Kirkwood
had a cost of $750,000.

7.  DEFERRED COMPENSATION

    The Company established an incentive compensation plan (the "Plan") for
Messrs. Engle and Coyne (the "Participants"). The Plan provides for all or some
of the Participants' salary to be deferred. All such deferred compensation is
held subject to the claims of creditors of the Company in a "rabbi" trust until
paid to the Participants following the Participants' termination of employment.
The amounts deferred are invested in common stock of the Company. Pursuant to
the Plan, the Participants deferred $180,000 of compensation during both the
nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 which represented 37,574 and
44,300 shares of common stock, respectively. The deferred amounts were expensed
by the Company and are included in general and administrative expenses on the
consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    On November 2, 2000 the stockholders approved the issuance of 711,462
shares of the Company's common stock to Gary D. Engle, James A. Coyne and
certain trusts for the benefit of Mr. Engle's children in payment of $3,600,000,
plus accrued interest of $99,600, payable to them under the terms of promissory
notes issued in connection with the Company's purchase of Equis II. In
conjunction with the payment by the Company in shares, Equis II and Mr. Engle
have agreed that the Voting Trust will be terminated, which will allow the
Company to consolidate the financial position and operating results of Equis II
and the Trusts.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PLAN OF
        OPERATION

GENERAL

    Certain statements in this quarterly report that are not historical fact
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Without limiting the foregoing, words
such as "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans" and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to
a number of risks and uncertainties including the Company's ability to
successfully implement a growth-oriented business plan. Actual results could
differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

    The Company was established in 1987 to invest primarily in short-term,
junior, pre-development and construction mortgage loans. Subsequently, the
Company became owner of various real estate assets through foreclosure
proceedings in connection with its mortgages. For the years 1993, 1994 and 1995,
the Company elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for
income tax purposes. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company revoked its REIT
status and became a taxable "C" corporation. Since then, the Company has
attempted to seek out ways to maximize shareholder value and take advantage of
investment opportunities where its significant loss carryforwards for federal
income tax purposes (approximately $90 million at December 31, 1999) can make it
a value-added buyer. In recent years, the Company has made certain investments
with affiliated parties where its income tax loss carryforwards could be
utilized and otherwise enable the Company to expand and diversify its asset mix
beyond its principal real estate asset, an ownership interest in a 274 acre land
parcel located in Southern California known as Rancho Malibu. The Company
intends to develop the Rancho Malibu property in the future and is in the
process of obtaining various permits that are necessary to commence development.
The Company continues to look for new investment opportunities on behalf of
itself and the Trusts.

EQUIS II CORPORATION

    In December 1999, the Company acquired an 85% equity interest in Equis II
Corporation ("Equis II") that the Company financed by issuing purchase-money
notes totaling $19,586,000 to the selling Equis II stockholders. In connection
with this investment, the Company also acquired a Special Beneficiary interest
in four Delaware Business Trusts known as AFG Investment Trust A, AFG Investment
Trust B, AFG Investment Trust C, and AFG Investment Trust D (collectively, the
"Trusts") for $9,652,500 that the Company financed by issuing a non-recourse
purchase-money note. The stockholders of Equis II from whom the Company acquired
85% of Equis II are Gary D. Engle, President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, James A. Coyne, President and
Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and certain trusts established for the
benefit of Mr. Engle's children. Equis II Corporation was organized in the State
of Delaware in 1997 and commenced operations on July 17, 1997. Equis II owns the
following Class B interests: AFG Investment Trust A (822,863 interests), AFG
Investment Trust B (997,373 interests), AFG Investment Trust C (3,019,220
interests), and AFG Investment Trust D (3,140,683 interests) (collectively, the
"Class B Interests"). AFG Investment Trust A owns 20,969 shares of the Company's
common stock and has a note receivable from the Company equal to $462,353 that
matures in April 2001. Through its ownership of the Class B Interests, Equis II
holds approximately 62% of the voting interests in each of the Trusts, although
on certain matters, principally those involving transactions with related
parties, it is obligated to vote its interests with the majority of unaffiliated
investors. Equis II also owns AFG ASIT Corporation, the Managing Trustee of the
Trusts. As Managing Trustee of the Trusts, AFG ASIT Corporation has a 1% carried
interest in the Trusts and significant influence over the operations of the
Trusts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Engle has voting control of the Class
B Interests and AFG ASIT Corporation pursuant to the terms of a Voting Trust
Agreement executed in connection with the Equis II transaction. The Voting Trust
may be terminated at any time by the agreement of Equis II and Mr. Engle and
will automatically terminate when the $19,586,000 of promissory notes delivered
by the Company in connection with the purchase of Equis II have been paid in
full (See Note 8 - Subsequent Event).

    In connection with the purchase, the Company entered into a put and call
agreement with Messrs. Engle and Coyne and the Engle family trusts, which gave
the Company a call right to purchase from these Equis II stockholders, and gave
these Equis II stockholders a put right to sell to the Company, subject to
shareholder approval, the remaining 15% of Equis II owned by Messrs. Engle and
Coyne and the Engle family trusts. A special committee of the Board of Directors
of the Company, consisting of Messrs. Auch, Bartlett and Ungerleider, the
Company's independent directors, unanimously approved the purchase by the
Company of 85% of Equis II and the entering into of the put and call agreement
to purchase the remaining 15% balance. On March 6, 2000, the Company obtained
shareholder approval for the issuance of 510,000 shares of common stock to
purchase the remaining 15% interest of Equis II. Subsequently, the selling Equis
II shareholders elected to exercise their rights to put their remaining 15%

<PAGE>

ownership interests in Equis II to the Company in exchange for 510,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. On April 20, 2000, the Company issued 510,000 shares
of common stock to the selling Equis II stockholders. The closing price of the
Company's stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on April 20, 2000 was $4.625 per
share. Therefore, the total market value of the 510,000 shares of common stock
issued to the selling Equis II stockholders was $2,358,750.

EFG/KIRKWOOD CAPITAL LLC

    On May 1, 1999, the Company and the Trusts formed EFG/Kirkwood Capital LLC
("EFG/Kirkwood") for the purpose of acquiring preferred and common stock
interests in Kirkwood Associates Inc. ("KAI"). The Company purchased a Class B
interest in EFG/Kirkwood and the Trusts purchased Class A interests in
EFG/Kirkwood. Generally, the Class A Interest holders are entitled to certain
preferred returns prior to distributions being paid to the Company, as Class B
interest holder. On May 1, 2000 the Company exchanged its interests in KAI
common stock and preferred stock for corresponding pro-rata interests in
Mountain Resort Holdings LLC ("Mountain Resort"). Mountain Resort owns the
Kirkwood ski resort, a local public utility, and land that is held for
development. The resort is located in Kirkwood, California and is approximately
30 miles from South Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The Company's investment in EFG/Kirkwood
had a cost of $750,000.

ARISTON CORPORATION

    On August 31, 1998, the Company executed an agreement to acquire all of the
common stock of Ariston Corporation ("Ariston") for a total purchase price of
$12,450,000. Ariston is a holding company having two investments: (i) a 99%
limited partnership interest in AFG Eireann Limited Partnership ("AFG Eireann"),
a Massachusetts limited partnership having a tax interest in a diversified pool
of lease contracts owned by an institutional investor and (ii) a 98% limited
partnership interest in Old North Capital Limited Partnership ("ONC"), a
Massachusetts limited partnership with investments in cash and notes, equipment
leases, and limited partnerships that are engaged in either equipment leasing or
real estate. The latter includes two commercial buildings located in Washington
D.C. and Sydney, Australia that are leased to an investment-grade educational
institution. Gary D. Engle, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director of
the Company and James A. Coyne, President, Chief Operating Officer and a
director of the Company both are affiliated with ONC and Gary D. Engle is
affiliated with AFG Eireann. Ariston was organized on July 31, 1998 as a
Delaware corporation. On August 3, 1998, EFG contributed its limited partnership
interests in AFG Eireann and ONC to Ariston in exchange for Ariston common
stock. Ariston was a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFG until its acquisition by the
Company and was formed principally to facilitate the transfer of limited
partnership interests held by EFG in AFG Eireann and ONC. Gary D. Engle controls
EFG and is the sole director of Ariston.

    The Company purchased all of the common stock of Ariston from EFG for fair
value of $12,450,000. The Company's consideration consisted of cash of $2
million and a purchase-money note of $10,450,000. The Ariston acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and the balance sheet and
statement of operations of Ariston were consolidated effective September 1,
1998. The purchase-money note bears interest at the annualized rate of 7%,
payable quarterly in arrears, and requires principal reductions based upon the
cash flows generated by the limited partnership interests owned by Ariston. The
note matures on August 31, 2003 and is recourse only to the common stock of
Ariston. The cost of the Ariston acquisition was allocated on the basis of the
estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In October
1998, Ariston declared and paid a cash distribution of $2,020,000 to the
Company. Until the purchase-money note is retired, future cash distributions by
Ariston require the consent of EFG.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's recent investments, described above, were highly leveraged
transactions whereby substantially all of the near-term cash flow generated by
the underlying assets will be used to service corresponding purchase
indebtedness. Accordingly, the Company does not anticipate incremental free cash
flow, net of debt service, being generated from these investments until the
indebtedness is retired. The Company's cash and cash equivalents balance
declined from $4,896,554 at December 31, 1999 to $2,955,308 at September 30,
2000 principally as a result of higher debt service payments on indebtedness and
higher operating costs resulting from the Company's recent investment
activities.

    The Company's future near-term liquidity needs will continue to be
influenced principally by debt service payments in addition to potential new
investments, operating expenses, and development of the Rancho Malibu property.
The extent and timing of additional capital investments for the Rancho Malibu
project will be dependent upon completion of the permitting and local regulatory
approval processes, which remain pending.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER, 1999:

    Total income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to
$3,920,224 from $1,382,600 for the same period in 1999. The increase reflects
income during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 from the Company's
investment in Equis II of $1,719,198 and the Special Beneficiary Interests of
$950,583 (see Note 5 to the financial statements). Revenues also include the
recognition of (i) rental income from two commercial buildings and equipment on
operating leases and (ii) interest income from a note receivable from affiliates
resulting from the acquisition of Ariston. The increase from 1999 to 2000 was
partially offset by a decrease in income earned on investments due to a decrease
in cash available for investment and a decrease in income earned on the note
receivable from affiliates discussed above.

    Total expenses for nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased to
$7,334,504 from $3,015,335 for the same period in 1999. The increase of
$4,319,169 from 1999 to 2000 was due in part, to interest expense incurred in
connection with indebtedness related to the Company's investment in Equis II and
the Special Beneficiary interests. Interest expense incurred related to these
investments was approximately $979,000 and $363,000, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000. In addition, the Company recorded amortization
expense of $3,257,549 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 in
connection with its investment in Equis II and the Special Beneficiary Interests
(see Note 5 to the financial statements). Other professional fees were higher
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as a result of accounting and
legal fees incurred by Ariston. The overall expense increase from 1999 to 2000
was partially offset by a decrease in expenses from property operating
activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, additional costs
related to the development of the Rancho Malibu property were capitalized and
are included in real estate held for development on the consolidated balance
sheet at September 30, 2000 (see Note 4 to the financial statements).

     The above changes resulted in an increase in the Company's net loss for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $3,414,280 ($2.26 per share) from
$1,632,735 ($1.41 per share) for the same period in 1999. The net loss per share
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period of 1,512,046 compared to
1,156,074 for the same period in 1999.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER, 1999:

    Total income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to
$1,878,585 from $461,647 for the same period in 1999. The increase reflects
income during the three months ended September 30, 2000 from the Company's
investment in Equis II of $561,616 and the Special Beneficiary Interests of
$950,583 (see Note 5 to the financial statements). Revenues also include the
recognition of (i) rental income from two commercial buildings and equipment on
operating leases and (ii) interest income from a note receivable from affiliates
resulting from the acquisition of Ariston. The increase from 1999 to 2000 was
partially offset by a decrease in income earned on investments due to a decrease
in cash available for investment and a decrease in income earned on the note
receivable from affiliates discussed above.

    Total expenses for three months ended September 30, 2000 increased to
$2,941,401 from $1,035,238 for the same period in 1999. The increase of
$1,906,163 from 1999 to 2000 was due in part, to interest expense incurred in
connection with indebtedness related to the Company's investment in Equis II and
the Special Beneficiary interests. Interest expense incurred related to these
investments was approximately $321,000 and $116,000, respectively, for the three
months ended September 30, 2000. In addition, the Company recorded amortization
expense of $1,722,444 during the three months ended September 30, 2000 in
connection with its investment in Equis II and the Special Beneficiary Interests
(see Note 5 to the financial statements). Other professional fees were higher
during the three months ended September 30, 1999 as a result of accounting and
legal fees incurred by Ariston. During the three months ended September 30,
2000, additional costs related to the development of the Rancho Malibu property
were capitalized and are included in real estate held for development on the
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2000.

     The above changes resulted in an increase in the Company's net loss for
the three months ended September 30, 2000 to $1,062,816 ($0.61 per share) from
$573,591 ($0.49 per share) for the same period in 1999. The net loss per share
for the three months ended September 30, 2000 is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period of 1,728,344 compared to
1,170,889 for the same period in 1999.
