                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        -----------------------------


Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
------------------------------

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Koll Real 
Estate Group, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), without 
audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules 
and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to 
make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with 
the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the current 
year's previously issued Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The financial 
information presented herein reflects all adjustments, including Fresh-Start 
Reporting adjustments as discussed below, which are, in the opinion of 
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim 
periods presented. The results for interim periods are not necessarily 
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. This report 
contains forward looking statements. Readers are cautioned that any such 
forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and 
involve risks and uncertainties that actual events or results may differ 
materially from those described herein as a result of various factors, 
including without limitation, the factors discussed generally in this report.

    Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with their 
current period presentation.

Note 2 - Recapitalization
-------------------------

    On September 2, 1997, the Company completed its recapitalization (the 
"Recapitalization") which became effective pursuant to a prepackaged plan of 
reorganization that was confirmed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the 
District of Delaware on August 19, 1997. The prepackaged plan was filed by 
the Company, excluding all of its subsidiaries and affiliates, 
contemporaneously with a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of 
the bankruptcy code on July 14, 1997. The Recapitalization had previously 
received over 95% approval of each class of stock and bondholders that voted 
through a public solicitation process in June 1997. On September 2, 1997, the 
effective date of the Recapitalization, the Company (referred to as 
"Successor Company" for periods after September 2, 1997) adopted the 
provisions of Statement of Position No. 90-7, "Financial Reporting by 
Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("Fresh-Start 
Reporting") as promulgated by the American Institute of Certified Public 
Accountants in November 1990. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities were 
revalued to reflect their reorganization value, approximating their fair 
value at the effective date of the Recapitalization. In addition, the 
accumulated deficit of the Company was eliminated and its capital structure 
recast in conformity with the Recapitalization, and as such, the Company has 
recorded the effects of the Recapitalization  and Fresh-Start Reporting as of 
the effective date.

    The Recapitalization  provided for a restructuring of the Company's 
capital structure. The only impaired parties under the Recapitalization were 
the holders of (a) the 12% Senior Subordinated Pay-In-Kind Debentures due 
March 15, 2002 ("Senior Debentures"), (b) the 12% Subordinated Pay-In-Kind 
Debentures due March 15, 2002 ("Subordinated Debentures") (collectively, 
the "Debentures"), (c) liquidated, non-contingent claims, and (d) equity 
securities of the Company. The prepackaged plan did not alter the Company's 
obligations to its other creditors, including its trade creditors, customers, 
employees, holders of contingent and unliquidated claims, holders of guaranty 
claims, and parties to contracts with the Company. 

    Under the Recapitalization, Senior Debenture holders and Subordinated
Debenture holders are entitled to receive 56 shares and 28 shares, respectively,
for each $1,000 of principal amount of their Debentures outstanding as of 


                                       6

<PAGE>

March 15, 1997, and holders of liquidated, non-contingent claims received 56 
shares for each $1,000 of their claims (all after consolidation of all 
outstanding shares of preferred and common stock into a single class of newly 
issued common stock and the reverse split described below). Upon completion 
of the Recapitalization, approximately 90.1% of the Company's equity, in the 
form of newly issued shares of common stock, excluding shares of common stock 
underlying certain options and warrants, is now owned by former holders of 
the Debentures and liquidated, non-contingent claims (approximately 80.3% by 
former holders of Senior Debentures and liquidated, non-contingent claims and 
9.8% by former holders of Subordinated Debentures). The remaining 9.9% of the 
Company's equity is now owned, in the aggregate, by former holders of the 
Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Common Stock") and Series A 
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") (approximately 5.8% by former holders 
of Preferred Stock and 4.1% by former holders of Class A Common Stock). 
Pursuant to approvals received at its 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, 
the Company consolidated its Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock into a 
single class of stock, through the issuance of 1.75 shares of new common 
stock (the "Common Stock") for each outstanding share of Preferred Stock and 
one share of Common Stock for each outstanding share of Class A Common Stock 
and effected a one for one hundred (1:100) reverse stock split of each 
outstanding share of the Company's capital stock on September 2, 1997, the 
effective date of the Recapitalization.

    Upon implementation of the Recapitalization, $216.9 million book value of 
Debentures and other liabilities subject to compromise were cancelled in 
exchange for equity, resulting in an $89.5 million extraordinary gain on 
extinguishment of debt. This gain was partially offset by $57.1 million of 
net adjustments to revalue all assets and liabilities to reflect fair value 
as of September 2, 1997 as required by Fresh Start Reporting. The results of 
operations and cash flows for the two month and eight month periods ended 
September 2, 1997 include operations prior to completion of the 
Recapitalization (referred to as "Predecessor Company"). The results of 
operations and cash flows for the one month period ended September 30, 1997 
include operations subsequent to the Company's Recapitalization and reflect 
the effects of Fresh-Start Reporting.  As a result, the net income for the 
period ended September 2, 1997 is not comparable with prior periods and the 
net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 is divided into 
Successor Company and Predecessor Company and is also not comparable with 
prior periods. In addition, the balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 is not 
comparable with prior periods for the reasons discussed above. 

    The reorganization value of the Company's common equity was determined by 
the Company with the assistance of financial advisors after consideration of 
several factors and by reliance on various valuation methods, including 
discounted projected cash flows, and other economic and industry information 
relevant to the operations of the Company. The reorganization value of the 
Company was allocated to specific asset categories pursuant to Fresh-Start 
Reporting. Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocated to Net Assets, 
which represents the difference in the Company's estimated valuation and the 
Company's net assets at fair value, of $16.7 million is amortized on a 
straight-line basis over 15 years.

    Professional fees and expenditures directly related to the Company's 
Recapitalization are classified as reorganization costs and were expensed as 
incurred. Reorganization costs during the periods ended September 2, 1997 
consisted primarily of legal, financial advisors and other professional fees, 
incentive compensation to directors and officers of the Company and costs 
related to the solicitation of security holder acceptances of the 
Recapitalization, the 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the public 
exchange offers of the securities that were subject to the Recapitalization.

    The Company's Class A Common Stock and Preferred Stock were delisted from 
the Nasdaq National Market on July 14, 1997 pending completion of the 
Recapitalization. The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. listed the 
post-Recapitalization Common Stock of the Company on the National Market 
effective September 4, 1997, following completion of the Recapitalization.

Note 3 - Earnings Per Common Share
-----------------------------------

    The weighted average number of outstanding shares of the Successor 
Company's Common Stock, including the conversion rights of all Debenture 
holders and warrant holders, for the period ended September 30, 1997 was 11.9 
million shares. Per share data for periods prior to September 2, 1997 have 
been omitted since these amounts do not reflect the Successor Company's 
current capital structure.

Note 4 - Stock Based Compensation
---------------------------------

    In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS No. 123"), "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation," which was effective for the Company beginning 
January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 requires expanded disclosures of stock-based 
compensation arrangements with employees and encourages (but does not 
require) compensation cost to be measured based on the fair market value of 
the equity instrument awarded. Companies are permitted, however, to continue 
to apply APB Opinion No. 25, which recognizes compensation cost based on the 
intrinsic value of the equity instrument awarded. The Company will continue 
to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its stock based compensation awards to 
employees and will disclose the required pro forma effect on net income and 
earnings per share.

    During April 1997, in connection with the Recapitalizaton, the 
Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved the grant 
of stock options equivalent to 6% of the Company's fully diluted equity for 
certain directors and officers. The options have a term of ten years and vest 
40% after one year, an additional 30% after two years and the final 30% after 
three years. Stock option grants of 759,984 shares have been issued at a 
price of $11.99 per share based on the 20-day average closing price following 
completion of the Recapitalization.

Note 6 - Land Held for Development
----------------------------------

    The Company owns approximately 350 acres located in Orange County, 
California adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by the City of 
Huntington Beach and approximately 35 miles south of downtown Los Angeles 
("Bolsa Chica"). The planned community at Bolsa Chica is expected to offer a 
broad mix of home choices, including single-family homes and townhomes at a 
wide range of prices. The Company's Bolsa Chica holdings include 
approximately 200 acres to be developed on the Bolsa Chica mesa, 
approximately 110 acres zoned as park or conservation land on, or adjacent 
to, the Huntington mesa and 42 acres of lowlands which were acquired in 
September 1997. The Company is negotiating to sell the recently acquired 42 
lowland acres to the State of California for a price approximating its 
acquisition cost. The Local Coastal Program ("LCP") for development of Bolsa 
Chica was approved by the Orange County Board of Supervisors in December 1994 
and by the California Coastal Commission in January 1996.

                                       8

<PAGE>

    A lawsuit (the "CEQA Lawsuit") challenging the approvals of the Board of 
Supervisors was filed in January 1995. After remanding the matter to the 
Board of Supervisors for additional processing and findings, in January 1997 
the court entered a judgment in favor of the Company. Plaintiffs in the CEQA 
Lawsuit have appealed the court's decision and the appeal is pending. In 
March 1996, a lawsuit (the "Coastal Act Lawsuit") was filed challenging the 
approvals of the Coastal Commission. The judgment in the Coastal Act Lawsuit 
was entered by the court in August 1997, and required the Coastal Commission 
to reconsider the filling of a 1.7 acre pond on the Bolsa Chica mesa ("Warner 
Pond") and development of any homes in the lowlands. On October 9, 1997, in 
response to the court's decision, the Coastal Commission approved 
modifications to the LCP which eliminated the filling of Warner Pond and 
thereby reduced the maximum density from 2,500 homes to no more than 1,235 
homes on the mesa. On November 18, 1997, the Orange County Board of 
Supervisors is scheduled to review the LCP modifications adopted by the 
Coastal Commission. If the Board of Supervisors accepts the modifications 
without change, the LCP will be deemed approved upon confirmation by the 
Executive Director of the Coastal Commission. The Company expects that the 
Executive Director will provide such confirmation in December 1997.

The Company is currently pursuing the secondary permitting process, such as 
tract maps and grading plans, for the mesa through the County of Orange in 
order to implement the LCP. This process is currently expected to be 
completed by March 31, 1998. While an appeal of the trial court's August 1997 
judgment has been filed by opponents of the Bolsa Chica project, the Company 
does not believe that the appeal will permanently prevent the Company from 
completing the Bolsa Chica project; however, there can be no assurance in 
that regard or that further delays will not result. The Company expects to 
commence infrastructure construction during the second quarter of 1998, 
unless restrained by a court.  See "Item 1 - Legal Proceedings" for a further 
discussion of pending litigation.

    Pursuant to confirmation and implementation of the Company's 
Recapitalization as discussed in Note 2, the Company applied the principles 
required by Fresh-Start Reporting and the carrying value of land held for 
development was adjusted to fair value as of September 2, 1997 (after 
consideration as discussed below of the October 9, 1997 Coastal Commission 
action). The estimation process involved in the determination of fair value 
is inherently uncertain since it requires estimates as to future events and 
market conditions. Such estimation process assumes the Company's ability to 
complete development and dispose of its real estate properties in the 
ordinary course of business based on management's present plans and 
intentions. Economic, market, environmental and political conditions may 
affect management's development and marketing plans. In addition, the 
implementation of such development and marketing plans could be affected by 
the availability of future financing for development and construction 
activities. Accordingly, the ultimate fair values of the Company's real 
estate properties are dependent upon future economic and market conditions, 
the availability of financing, and the resolution of political, environmental 
and other related issues.

    The Company has considered the reduction in density from a maximum of up 
to 2,500 homes on the Bolsa Chica mesa to no more than 1,235 homes in its 
determination of the Bolsa Chica project's fair value as reflected in the 
Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 1997. The Company has received 
analysis and advice from its residential real estate market consultants and 
advisors which indicates that the fair value to be realized by the Company 
from the Bolsa Chica mesa development will not be materially lessened by the 
reduction in developable units as compared to previous estimates, since 
residential land value is not exclusively driven by unit count. Rather, the 
following factors are also highly determinative of such value:

    (i)    the location and quality of the master planned community;
    (ii)   the competitive condition of the real estate market at the time of
             development and sale;
    (iii)  the demand for various residential product types;
    (iv)   the product mix, segmentation and absorption rate;
    (v)    the number of acres available for development; and
    (vi)   the project development costs.

                                       9

<PAGE>

    Therefore, while there can be no assurance in this regard, the Company 
believes that the lower number of residential units will not materially 
reduce the project's fair value.

    In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 
No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived 
Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"), which requires an impaired asset 
(real property or intangible) to be written down to fair value. In the event 
of an impairment, the fair value of an asset for purposes of SFAS 121 is 
deemed to be the amount a willing buyer would pay a willing seller for such 
asset in a current transaction. As required, the Company adopted SFAS 121 
during the quarter ended March 31, 1996, which did not have any effect on its 
financial statements.

Note 7 - Debt
-------------

    SENIOR BANK DEBT

    During the first quarter of 1997, the Company utilized a portion of the 
proceeds from a sale of Rancho San Pasqual lots and the sale of the Bolsa 
Chica lowlands to fully repay the outstanding loan balance of approximately 
$7.1 million due to Nomura Asset Capital Corporation under a letter of credit 
and reimbursement agreement. Cash payments for interest on senior bank debt 
were approximately $.9 million and $.1 million for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 and the eight month period ended September 2, 1997, 
respectively.     

    PROJECT DEBT

    The Company and certain of its affiliates have entered into several 
contracts to develop and construct commercial properties, primarily on a 
build-to-suit basis. To finance certain of these projects, the Company's 
affiliates have entered into construction loan agreements which have been 
guaranteed by the parent. The Company's affiliates have entered into purchase 
and sale agreements for the sale, upon completion of construction, of each of 
the build-to-suit projects with an outstanding loan balance at September 30, 
1997.

    Project debt secured by commercial development projects is summarized as 
follows (in millions):

    All of these construction loans bear interest at variable rates ranging 
from LIBOR plus 1 1/2% to LIBOR plus 2%.  The Company capitalized 
approximately $1.7 million and $.2 million of interest costs on such 
construction loans for the eight month period ended September 2, 1997 and the 
one month period ended September 30, 1997, respectively.

    In addition, as of September 30, 1997, four development projects are 
owned by unconsolidated limited liability companies in which a subsidiary of 
the Company is the managing member. These affiliates have entered into 
construction loan agreements for speculative industrial projects aggregating 
$49.2 million, which have also been guaranteed by the parent. Under these 
construction loan agreements, an aggregate of $18.2 million was drawn and 
$31.0 million was available as of September 30, 1997.

    Subsequent to September 30, 1997, an affiliate of the Company entered 
into an additional construction loan agreement which has been guaranteed by 
the parent. The loan agreement is on similar terms to those existing as of 
September 30, 1997, and is financing $9.7 million for a speculative 
industrial project in Hayward, California.

Note 8 - Liabilities Subject to Compromise
-------------------------------------------

    Liabilities subject to compromise represent liabilities which were 
exchanged for equity upon completion of the Recapitalization (as discussed in 
Note 2) and consisted of the following as of December 31, 1996 (in millions):
    
    Subordinated debt:
      Senior Debentures                          $155.3
      Subordinated Debentures                      38.8
                                                 ------
        Total face amount                         194.1
    Liquidated, non-contingent claims               4.4
                                                 ------
        Subtotal                                  198.5
      Less unamortized discount                    (5.0)
      Plus accrued interest                         6.8
                                                 ------
                                                 $200.3
                                                 ------
                                                 ------

    The Debentures gave the Company the right to pay interest in-kind, in 
cash or, subject to certain conditions, in Class A Common Stock. 
Historically, interest on the Debentures was paid in-kind.

    During the second quarter of 1997, the Company entered into mutual 
settlement and release agreements with the three holders of liquidated, 
non-contingent claims:  AlliedSignal Inc. ("Allied"), The General Chemical 
Group Inc. ("General Chemical"), and Wolverine Tube, Inc. ("Wolverine"). 
These agreements provided, among other things, for the issuance of 168,000 
shares, 53,760 shares and 25,200 shares of Common Stock in settlement of 
$3,000,000, $960,000 and $450,000 of liquidated, non-contingent claims (56 
shares per $1,000) held by Allied, General Chemical and Wolverine, 
respectively. It is currently expected that these holders will sell all of 
such shares within two years following their issuance in connection with the 
completion of the Recapitalization. Neither Allied, General Chemical nor 
Wolverine was a record or beneficial owner of any shares of the Company's 
capital stock prior to the Recapitalization.

Note 9 - Income Taxes
---------------------

    Upon completion of the Recapitalization, the Company experienced an 
"ownership change" under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the 
"Code") as a result of the increase in the percentage of the Company's stock 
by value held by certain persons (including creditors who exchange debt for 
stock) of more than 50 percentage points at any time during a three-year 
period. Subsequent to an ownership change, the Company's annual use of its net

                                       11

<PAGE>

operating losses ("NOLs") is generally limited to the value of the Company's 
equity immediately before the ownership change multiplied by the long-term 
tax-exempt rate, which for September 1997 was 5.45%.

    Section 382(l)(5) of the Code, the "bankruptcy exception", provides that 
if the ownership change occurs through a bankruptcy, such as the Company's 
Recapitalization which utilized a prepackaged plan, and if the continuing 
shareholders and "qualifying creditors" before the ownership change own at 
least 50% of the Company's stock after the ownership change, the general 
limitations of Section 382 will not apply. "Qualifying creditors" generally 
must have held their debt at least 18 months before the prepackaged plan was 
filed on July 14, 1997, or the debt must have arisen in the ordinary course 
of the Company's business. The Company believes that it qualifies for the 
"bankruptcy exception" of Section 382(l)(5). Under this exception, the Company
is required to reduce its NOLs by (i) the amount of interest accrued on any 
debt exchanged for stock in the bankruptcy proceeding during the year of the 
proceeding and the three prior taxable years and (ii) an additional amount 
required to make the total reduction equal to the amount of cancellation of 
indebtedness income realized. Accordingly, the Company's NOLs of 
approximately $286 million as of September 2, 1997 will be reduced by 
approximately $81 million, resulting in remaining NOLs available of 
approximately $205 million. As reduced, and subject to any disallowance 
resulting from the proposed IRS adjustments discussed below, the Company's 
NOL carryovers will be fully deductible against post-reorganization income 
provided there is not a second ownership change as discussed below, and 
subject to the general rules regarding expiration of NOLs.

    If the Company were to experience another ownership change within two 
years of the September 2, 1997 effective date of the Recapitalization, as the 
result of a 50 percentage point change in ownership, the second ownership 
change would not qualify for Section 382(l)(5) treatment and the use of all 
remaining NOLs would be disallowed. Pursuant to Section 382(l)(5)(D), the 
Section 382 Limitation from and after the second ownership change would be 
zero, and thus would eliminate the availability of any remaining unused 
portion of the $205 million of NOLs.

    If the Company experiences or expects a successive ownership change prior 
to the filing of its 1997 tax return, a determination could be made to elect 
out of Section 382(l)(5), which would preserve some of the NOL carryovers. 
The election out of Section 382(l)(5) would be irrevocable and must be made 
by the due date (including any extensions of time) of the Company's 1997 tax 
return and would bind the Company without regard to whether or not subsequent 
ownership changes (expected or not) occur. If the Company elects out of 
Section 382(l)(5) or if the requirements of such section are not met, the 
general rules of Section 382 would apply.  However, in determining the 
limitation placed on the Company's annual use of its net operating losses 
under those general rules, Section 382(l)(6) provides that the value of the 
equity of the Company immediately before the ownership change would be deemed 
to include the increase in the value of the Company's equity resulting from 
any surrender or cancellation of creditors' claims due to implementation of 
the Recapitalization. Accordingly, assuming the Company's recent 
post-Recapitalization equity market value of approximately $140 million, and 
a recent long-term tax exempt rate of 5.45%, Section 382(l)(6) would limit 
the Company's utilization of its NOLs to approximately $7.6 million per year, 
plus any built-in gains recognized during the five year period following the 
ownership change. In summary, under Section 382(l)(5), the Company would have 
approximately $205 million of NOLs available, which the Company has estimated 
could be fully utilized over the next nine years (1998-2006), whereas under 
Section 382(l)(6) only approximately $69 million of NOLs would be available 
to the Company during that time frame, due to the annual limitation described 
above.

    The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its examinations of 
the tax returns of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including 
formerly affiliated entities, for the years ended December 31, 1989, 1990 and 
1991. With respect to each examination, the IRS has proposed material audit 
adjustments. The Company disagrees with the positions taken by the IRS and 
has filed a protest with the IRS to vigorously contest the proposed 
adjustments. After review of the IRS's proposed adjustments, the Company 
estimates that, if upheld, the adjustments could result in Federal tax 
liability, before interest, of approximately $17 million (net of amounts 
which may be payable by former affiliates pursuant to tax sharing 
agreements). The IRS proposed adjustments, if upheld, could result in a 
disallowance of up to $132 million of available NOL carryforwards, of which 
none are recognized after

                                       12

<PAGE>

consideration of the valuation allowance, as of September 30, 1997. The 
Company has not determined the extent of potential accompanying state tax 
liability adjustments should the proposed IRS adjustments be upheld. The 
Company's protest was filed in August 1995 and is being considered by the IRS 
Appeals Division. Management currently believes that the IRS's positions will 
not ultimately result in any material adjustments to the Company's financial 
statements. The Company is prepared to pursue all available administrative 
and judicial appeal procedures with regard to this matter and the Company is 
advised that its dispute with the IRS could take up to five years to resolve. 

    Cash payments for federal, state and local income taxes were 
approximately $.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, $.2 
million for the eight month period ended September 2, 1997 and less than $.1 
million for the one month period ended September 30, 1997. 

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies
---------------------------------------

    The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has designated 
Universal Oil Products ("UOP"), among others, as a Potentially Responsible 
Party ("PRP") with respect to an area of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the 
"Torch Lake Site") under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended ("CERCLA"). UOP is 
allegedly the successor in interest to one of the companies that conducted 
mining operations in the Torch Lake area and an affiliate of Allied, a 
predecessor of the Company. The Company has not been named as a PRP at the 
site. However, Allied has, through UOP, asserted a contractual 
indemnification claim against the Company for all claims that may be asserted 
against UOP by EPA or other parties with respect to the site. EPA has 
proposed a clean-up plan which would involve covering certain real property 
both contiguous and non-contiguous to Torch Lake with soil and vegetation in 
order to address alleged risks posed by copper tailings and slag at an 
estimated cost of $6.2 million. EPA estimates that it has spent approximately 
$3.9 million to date in performing studies of the site. Under CERCLA, EPA 
could assert claims against the Torch Lake PRPs, including UOP, to recover 
the cost of these studies, the cost of all remedial action required at the 
site, and natural resources damages. In June 1995, EPA proposed a CERCLA 
settlement pursuant to which UOP pay approximately between $2.6 and $3.3 
million in exchange for a limited covenant by EPA not to sue UOP in the 
future. The Company, without admission of any obligation to UOP, has 
determined to vigorously defend UOP's position that the EPA's proposed 
cleanup plan is unnecessary and inconsistent with the requirements of CERCLA 
given that the EPA's own Site Assessment and Record of Decision found no 
immediate threat to human health. In the Company's view the proposed 
remediation costs would be in excess of any resulting benefits.

    In June 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with The Charter 
Township of Calumet (the "Township"), whereby the Company has agreed to 
sell approximately 160 acres of its land in Michigan to the Township in 
exchange for the Township obtaining an agreement from EPA to release the 
Company, its predecessors and affiliates from any environmental liability 
associated with the Torch Lake Site. There can be no assurances that the 
Township will be successful in obtaining such a release of the Company from 
EPA.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

    The principal activities of the Company include: (i) obtaining zoning and 
other entitlements for land it owns and improving the land for residential 
development; (ii) single and multi-family residential construction in 
Southern California; (iii) providing commercial, industrial, retail and 
residential development services to third parties, including feasibility 
studies, entitlement coordination, project planning, construction management, 
financing, marketing, acquisition, disposition and asset management services 
on a national and international basis, through its offices throughout 
California, and in Dallas, Phoenix, Seattle, Shanghai, China and Taipei, 
Taiwan; and (iv) developing 

                                       13

<PAGE>

commercial projects for the Company's own account. Once the residential land 
owned by the Company is entitled, the Company may sell unimproved land to 
other developers or investors; sell improved land to homebuilders; or 
participate in joint ventures with other developers, investors or 
homebuilders to finance and construct infrastructure and homes. While the 
Company intends to consider additional real estate acquisition and joint 
venture opportunities, its immediate strategic goal is to commence 
infrastructure construction on the Bolsa Chica mesa in the second quarter of 
1998; however, there can be no assurance in that regard. 

    The Company was over-leveraged from its December 1989 spin-off from The 
Henley Group, Inc., when it had $290 million of debt (including $144 million 
of subordinated debentures due to The Henley Group, Inc.) and $268 million of 
accounts payable and other liabilities against $707 million of assets and 
stockholders equity of $149 million, until completion of the Recapitalization 
on September 2, 1997. This excessive leverage was exacerbated by continual 
delays between 1990 and 1997 in obtaining the governmental approvals 
necessary to develop the Company's principal asset, the Bolsa Chica property. 
At the time of the 1989 spin-off from The Henley Group, Inc., the Company 
expected that the Bolsa Chica property would be fully entitled and under 
construction as early as 1991. During the last seven years, the Company has 
generated over $300 million in cash from asset sales. The Company has 
utilized the majority of the proceeds of such asset sales to repay 
approximately $131 million of senior debt, to pay various liabilities, and to 
fund project development and infrastructure costs for its principal 
residential development projects, including Bolsa Chica. With the California 
Coastal Commission's approval of modifications to the LCP for Bolsa Chica on 
October 9, 1997, the Company is proceeding with its plans for residential 
development on the Bolsa Chica mesa and expects to commence infrastructure 
construction in the second quarter of 1998, subject to certain contingencies 
as described in Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.

    Historically, the Company has not been able to generate significant gross 
operating margins or cash flows from operating activities due to the nature 
of its principal assets. The substantial majority of the Company's assets are 
residential land which has required significant investments before the land 
could be sold to homebuilders or developed in joint ventures. In addition, 
the relatively high book value of these assets has resulted in sales 
approximating break-even. Pursuant to Fresh Start Reporting, implementation 
of the Recapitalization through the prepackaged plan resulted in a write-down 
of Bolsa Chica to fair value (which will reduce future costs of sales) and 
therefore, provided that there are no further litigation delays, the Company 
hopes to begin generating profits from the Bolsa Chica project beginning in 
1998.

    Real estate held for development or sale and land held for development 
(real estate properties) are carried at fair value as of September 30, 1997 
following adoption of Fresh-Start Reporting as discussed in Note 2. The 
Company's real estate properties are subject to a number of uncertainties 
which can affect the fair values of those assets. These uncertainties include 
litigation or appeals of regulatory approvals (as discussed above) and 
availability of adequate capital, financing and cash flow. In addition, 
future values may be adversely affected by increases in property taxes, 
increases in the costs of labor and materials and other development risks, 
changes in general economic conditions, including higher mortgage interest 
rates, and other real estate risks such as the demand for housing generally 
and the supply of competitive products. Real estate properties do not 
constitute liquid assets and, at any given time, it may be difficult to sell 
a particular property for an appropriate price. Recently, the strengthened 
economy of the Southwest, and California in particular, has resulted in 
improvement in the real estate market, generally increasing the availability 
of potential purchasers for such properties and sources of financing for 
carrying and developing such properties. Over the past year, the number of 
potential purchasers and capital sources interested in Southern California 
residential properties appears to have increased, resulting in improving 
prices.  However, there can be no assurance regarding the continued health of 
the economy and the strength and longevity of current conditions affecting 
the real estate market. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The principal asset in the Company's portfolio is residential land which 
must be held over an extended period of time in order to be developed to a 
condition that, in management's opinion, will ultimately maximize the return 
to the Company. Consequently, the Company requires significant capital to 
finance its real estate development operations.

                                       14

<PAGE>

    Historically, sources of capital have included bank lines of credit, 
specific property financings, asset sales and available internal funds. The 
Company will continue to be dependent primarily on residential and commercial 
real estate asset sales, and cash and cash equivalents on-hand to fund 
project development costs for Bolsa Chica, commercial project pre-development 
expenditures and equity investments, as well as general and administrative 
expenses during the remainder of 1997. The Company is seeking new financing 
for development of Bolsa Chica and expects to obtain a land development and 
infrastructure construction loan approximating $30 million during the first 
quarter of 1998.

    Following completion of the sale of the Bolsa Chica lowlands in February 
1997 and utilization of $7.1 million to repay senior debt, as well as other 
activity presented in the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company's unrestricted 
cash and cash equivalents aggregated $5.0 million at September 30, 1997.     

    The Company has executed option agreements with homebuilders which are 
scheduled to purchase an aggregate of 88 remaining Phase I residential lots 
at Rancho San Pasqual in Escondido, California for approximately $4.3 million 
during the fourth quarter of 1997 and the first six months of 1998. During 
the first nine months of 1997, the Company completed sales of 162 residential 
lots at Rancho San Pasqual to homebuilders for approximately $7.1 million.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH DECEMBER 31, 1996

    The $2.9 million increase in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects 
the sale of the Bolsa Chica lowlands in February 1997 for $25.0 million, 
partially offset by repayments of $7.1 million to Nomura, payments of certain 
liabilities, spending for project development costs primarily at Bolsa Chica, 
general and administrative expenses, and reorganization costs during the 
first nine months of 1997, as well as other activity presented in the 
Statements of Cash Flows.

    The $23.1 million increase in real estate held for development or sale 
primarily reflects investments in eight build-to-suit projects and one 
speculative industrial project aggregating approximately $61.9 million, 
partially offset by sales of three of the build-to-suit projects with 
aggregate costs of $30.3 million and costs of sales of residential lots at 
Rancho San Pasqual aggregating $7.0 million.

    The $91.7 million decrease in land held for development reflects the 
February 1997 sale of the Bolsa Chica lowlands for $25.0 million and a 
write-down under Fresh-Start Reporting of $72.7 million to reflect the fair 
value of Bolsa Chica of $130 million as of September 2, 1997. These decreases 
were partially offset by investments in the Bolsa Chica project during the 
first three quarters of 1997, including the acquisition of an adjacent 
42-acre parcel.

    The $8.1 million decrease in other assets primarily reflects a 
Fresh-Start adjustment of $6.9 million to eliminate the value of goodwill 
recorded in the 1993 acquisition of the commercial development business, as 
well as the collection of commercial development receivables, partially 
offset by investments in unconsolidated commercial projects.

    The $6.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities 
primarily reflects payments to contractors on build-to-suit projects, 
payments of accrued expenses related to the sale of the Bolsa Chica lowlands 
and reorganization costs.

    The $7.1 million decrease in senior bank debt reflects the repayment of 
the outstanding loan balance due to Nomura Asset Capital Corporation.


                                       15

<PAGE>

    The $27.1 million increase in project debt reflects aggregate borrowings 
of $57.3 million on eight build-to-suit projects and one speculative 
industrial project, partially offset by aggregate repayments of $30.2 million 
of project debt upon the sales of three of the build-to-suit projects 
discussed above.

    The $200.3 million decrease in subordinated debentures and other 
liabilities subject to compromise reflects cancellation of such obligations 
and the issuance of common stock to the holders of such claims in accordance 
with the Recapitalization as further discussed in Note 2.

    The $9.8 million decrease in other liabilities primarily reflects a $5.8 
million Fresh-Start adjustment to discount the carrying value of such 
liabilities to fair value upon completion of the Recapitalization and 
payments of $3.4 million in connection with the settlement of certain claims 
during the second quarter of 1997.

    The $139.1 million increase in stockholders' equity primarily reflects 
the exchange of equity for subordinated debentures and other liabilities 
subject to compromise discussed above, partially offset by the $57.1 million 
net write-down of assets and liabilities to fair value under Fresh-Start 
Reporting as discussed in Note 2, as well as other activity presented in the 
Statements of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The nature of the Company's business is such that individual transactions 
often cause significant fluctuations in operating results from quarter to 
quarter and year to year.  In addition, the Company's completion of the 
Recapitalization has significantly deleveraged its capital structure. 
Furthermore, the restatement of assets and liabilities to reflect fair value 
as of September 2, 1997 under Fresh Start Reporting will reduce future cost 
of sales for Bolsa Chica, while increasing amortization expense related to 
Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocated to Net Assets and 
discounted liabilities.

    THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS 
    ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

    The $29.5 million increase in asset sales revenues from $3.6 million in 
1996 to $33.1 million in 1997, and the $30.3 million increase in related 
costs of asset sales from $2.2 million to $32.5 million primarily reflect the 
sales of two build-to-suit projects and a $1.5 million increase in Rancho San 
Pasqual lot sales, partially offset by the absence in 1997 of the 1996 sales 
of homes at Oceanside Hills of $1.9 million, and a decrease in Michigan 
residential land sales of $1.1 million.

    The $.7 million increase in revenues from commercial development 
operations during the third quarter of 1997 as compared with the same period 
of 1996 primarily reflects rental income from building operations prior to 
sale.

    While gross operating margins were comparable for the 1996 and 1997 third 
quarter periods, the margins in 1997 primarily reflect build-to-suit project 
sales and rental income prior to such sales, and margins in 1996 primarily 
reflect sales of Michigan residential land. Commercial development 
operations, excluding property operations, have approximated break-even 
despite the significant revenue growth in 1997 due to increased costs to 
expand the business.

    The $.7 million decrease in general and administrative expenses from the 
1996 to 1997 third quarter periods primarily reflects reduced costs of 
liability insurance premiums and reduced overhead expense related to 
residential operations.

    The $1.9 million decrease in interest expense reflects the absence of 
interest on the subordinated debentures after they were cancelled on 
September 2, 1997, the effective date of the Recapitalization, and lower 
interest on senior bank debt which was repaid in February 1997.

                                       16

<PAGE>

    The $.2 million increase in other expense reflects the amortization of 
(i) Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocated to Net Assets and 
(ii) the discount on other liabilities for the one month period ended 
September 30, 1997, as well as other non-recurring activity.

    The benefit for deferred income taxes for the two month period ended 
September 2, 1997 has been offset by a corresponding valuation allowance. 

    The $89.5 million extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt represents 
the difference between the book value of subordinated debentures and other 
liabilities subject to compromise, which were cancelled in the 
Recapitalization, and the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock 
which was issued to the holders of such claims.

    NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 
    SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

    The increase in revenues from asset sales of $17.6 million in 1996 to 
$66.5 million in 1997 and the increase in the related costs of sales from 
$14.9 million to $65.5 million primarily reflect the sale of the Bolsa Chica 
lowlands for $25.0 million, sales of three build-to-suit projects aggregating 
$34.1 million and an increase in sales of lots at Rancho San Pasqual of $.8 
million in 1997, partially offset by the absence in 1997 of 1996 sales of the 
Eagle Crest Golf Course at Rancho San Pasqual for $6.1 million, and homes at 
Oceanside Hills for $2.5 million, as well as a $2.4 million decrease in sales 
of Michigan residential land. 

    The $.7 million increase in revenues from operations during the first 
nine months of 1997 as compared with the same period of 1996 reflects a $1.6 
million increase in revenues from commercial development operations, which 
was partially offset by the absence in 1997 of $.9 million of 1996 revenues 
from golf course operations.

    The $1.5 million decrease in gross operating margins from the 1996 to 
1997 period primarily reflects a $1.9 million decrease in margins on sales of 
Michigan residential land, partially offset by $.6 million in margins on 
sales of build-to-suit projects and rental income prior to such sales in 
1997. Commercial development operations, excluding property operations, have 
approximated break-even despite the significant revenue growth in 1997 due to 
increased costs to expand the business.

    The $1.6 million decrease in general and administrative expenses from the 
1996 to 1997 period primarily reflects reduced costs of liability insurance 
premiums and reduced overhead expense related to residential operations.

    The $1.6 million decrease in interest expense reflects the absence of 
interest on the subordinated debentures after they were cancelled on 
September 2, 1997, the effective date of the Recapitalization, and lower 
interest on senior bank debt which was repaid in February 1997.

    The $2.1 million in other income, net for the nine months ended September 
30, 1997 primarily reflects an aggregate of $2.9 million of nonrecurring 
income from the sale of a minority interest in a privately held company and 
gains recognized in connection with the settlement of certain claims.

    The benefit for deferred income taxes for the eight month period ended 
September 2, 1997 has been offset by a corresponding valuation allowance. 

    The $89.5 million extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt represents 
the difference between the book value of subordinated debentures and other 
liabilities subject to compromise, which were cancelled in the 
Recapitalization, and the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock 
which was issued to the holders of such claims.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 
1995

    Certain of the foregoing information as well as certain information set 
forth in Part II of this report under the heading "Legal Proceedings" is 
forward looking in nature and involves risks and uncertainties that could 
significantly impact the ability of the Company to achieve its currently 
anticipated goals and objectives. These risks and uncertainties include, but 
are not limited to litigation or appeals of regulatory approvals (including 
appeals of the trial court decisions in the CEQA Lawsuit and the Coastal Act 
Lawsuit), injunctions prohibiting implementation of approved development 
plans pending the outcome of litigation, and the availability of adequate 
capital, financing and cash flow. In addition, future values may be adversely 
affected by increases in property taxes, increases in the costs of labor and 
materials and other development risks, changes in general economic 
conditions, including higher mortgage interest rates, and  other real estate 
risks such as the demand for housing generally and the supply of competitive 
products. Real estate properties do not constitute liquid assets and, at any 
given time, it may be difficult to sell a particular property for an 
appropriate price. Other significant risks and uncertainties are discussed in 
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended 
December 31, 1996 and in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4, as 
amended, Registration Nos. 333-22121 and 333-29883.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

    See "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 
10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1996.

    See Notes 2 and 8 of Notes to Financial Statements above and the 
Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K dated August 19, 1997 and September 2, 
1997 regarding court confirmation of the Recapitalization and completion 
thereof.

     In January 1995 a lawsuit challenging the December 1994 approvals of the 
Orange County Board of Supervisors was filed in the Orange County Superior 
Court by the Bolsa Chica Land Trust, et al. After remanding the matter to the 
Board of Supervisors for additional processing and findings, in January 1997 
the Superior Court entered a judgment in favor of the Company. Plaintiffs 
have appealed the Superior Court decision and the matter is pending in the 
California Court of Appeal.

     In March 1996 a lawsuit was filed in the San Francisco Superior Court 
(and later removed to San Diego Superior Court) by the Bolsa Chica Land 
Trust, et al. against the California Coastal Commission, the Company and 
other Bolsa Chica landowners as real parties in interest, alleging that the 
Coastal Commission's approval of the LCP was not in compliance with the 
Coastal Act and other statutory requirements. This lawsuit sought to set 
aside the approval of the Bolsa Chica project. In August 1997, the San Diego 
Superior Court rendered a judgment that returned the Bolsa Chica LCP to the 
Coastal Commission for further consideration in the context of two issues. 
The court's decision that the Coastal Commission reconsider the LCP was based 
on the court's determination (i) that development of homes in the lowlands is 
not in compliance with the Coastal Act, and (ii) that the filling of a 1.7 
acre pond on the Bolsa Chica mesa ("Warner Pond") is not in compliance with 
the Coastal Act.

    With respect to the Bolsa Chica mesa, the court determined that the 
Coastal Commission failed to weigh and resolve a conflict in Coastal Act 
policies related to Warner Pond. The court's decision required the Coastal 
Commission to reconsider its treatment of Warner Pond. On October 9, 1997, in 
response to the court's decision, the Coastal Commission approved 
modifications to the LCP which eliminated the filling of Warner Pond and 
thereby reduced the maximum density from 2,500 homes to no more than 1,235 
homes on the mesa.

    In every other respect, the court denied challenges to the Coastal 
Commission's approval of the plan for development of the mesa. The court 
specifically approved the Coastal Commission's findings with regard to (i) 
the relocation of raptor habitat, (ii) adequacy of a buffer between the new 
residential development and the lowlands, and (iii) treatment of 
archeological resources.

    On September 18, 1997, another Bolsa Chica landowner which owned 42 acres 
of lowlands filed an appeal with respect to the court's August 1997 judgment. 
On September 30, 1997 the Company acquired such 42 acres of lowlands and 
thereby gained control of the former landowner's appeal. The Company is also 
negotiating the potential sale of the 42 lowland acres to the State Lands 
Commission. On October 14, 1997 the Company received notice that opponents of 
the Bolsa Chica project filed an appeal with respect to the court's August 
1997 judgment. The Company does not believe that the appeal will permanently 
prevent the Company from completing the Bolsa Chica project; however, there 
can be no assurance in that regard or that further delays would not result.  
The Company expects to commence infrastructure construction during the second 
quarter of 1998, unless restrained by a court.

    In October 1997, the Company entered into a mutual settlement and release 
agreement with Svedala Industries, Inc. ("Svedala") to settle the Svedala 
litigation, which is more fully described on page 137 of the Prospectus, in 
which Svedala filed a lawsuit naming as defendants the Company and Nichols 
Engineering & Research Corporation ("Nichols"), an indirect wholly owned 
subsidiary of the Company, as well as several other unrelated companies. 

                                       19

<PAGE>

The lawsuit seeks recovery of costs of clean-up of a property in Mt. Olive, 
New Jersey and asserted that the clean-up costs totaled approximately $10 
million. The settlement agreement remains subject to court approval and will 
provide the Company and its subsidiaries with a complete release of Svedala's 
claims for any liability arising from the facts of the lawsuit in 
consideration for the payment of $200,000 by the Company.
