= =

For the six months ended December 31, 2009, the Hotel generated operating

income of approximately $3,479,000 before interest, depreciation and

amortization, on operating revenues of approximately $16,898,000 compared to

operating income of approximately $3,424,000 before the loss on termination of

garage lease, interest, depreciation and amortization, on operating revenues of

approximately $17,943,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2008. The

increase in Hotel operating income is primarily attributable to a significant

decline in operating expenses and an increase in garage revenues resulting from

the termination of the garage lease in October 2008 and integration of those

operations into those of the Hotel, partially offset by a decrease in room and

food and beverage revenues.



While operating in this difficult economy, management was able to improve its

real estate operations by reducing operating expenses and its interest expense.

The Company had real estate revenues of $5,936,000 for the six months ended

December 31, 2009 compared with revenues of $6,210,000 for the six months ended

December 31, 2008. While revenues declined by $274,000 as the result of

operating in a tougher economy, management was able to reduce real estate

operating expenses and interest expense by $175,000 and $82,000, respectively.

Interest expense decreased as the result reducing interest rates through

refinancing certain properties over the past twelve months and also to a lesser

extent, interest rates resetting lower on a certain number of our properties

located in Los Angeles, California. Management continues to review and analyze

the Company's real estate operations to improve occupancy and rental rates and

to reduce expenses and improve efficiencies.
