As a result of the current difficult market conditions, the Company has taken control of certain nonperforming loans and equity
partnership investments. Control was obtained by settlement with the borrower or by assuming the role of managing partner.
These properties are now categorized as Direct Investments in real estate developments. For each of these properties, the
Company has made a determination on how to maximize value based on the local market conditions, potential for future
appreciation, and the properties' operating and debt structure. In a number of cases, these Investments in Real Estate are
being operated as either a rental or a hybrid of units used for rental and units available for sale. In a particular case, it was
deemed appropriate to (1) auction the residential units for one of the properties due to its existing debt structure and to (2)
lease and hold the commercial space. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS We reported revenues from Loans Receivable Secured
by Real Estate totaling $133,120 during the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared with $324,046 during the
three months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in revenues was due to (1) a decrease in the average amount invested
in these loans during the comparable periods; and (2) a decline in our average return due to nonperforming loans in our
portfolio. We reported zero revenues from our Joint Venture Investments in Real Estate Developments during the three
months ended December 31, 2008 compared with $0.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2007. Our
revenues are derived from repayment of loans and equity participations. During the three months ended December 31, 2008
we reported revenues totaling $755,000 from our Investments in Real Estate Developments compared with zero revenues
during the three months ended December 31, 2007. This increase is due to sales of units that were under development in
2007. During the three months ended December 31, 2008, we reported revenues totaling $194,051 from our investment in
rental property compared with zero revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2007. This was due to the
conversion of MSB Brighton, one of the Company's Investments in Real Estate Development to a rental property in 2008.
Expenses We group our operating expenses in three categories: recurring expenses, nonrecurring expenses, and impairments.
Recurring expenses are associated with the ongoing operations of the Company. Nonrecurring expenses are legal costs and
carrying costs of real estate owned (REO) included with investments in real estate. During the three months ended December
31, 2008 our recurring operating expenses were approximately $348,082 compared with $311,086 for the three months
ended December 2007. The increase is principally due to higher management fees and general and administrative expenses for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared with 2007. As a result of the continuing downturn in the real estate
market and significant uncertainties associated with future investments, we have discontinued funding any new equity
investments and significantly curtailed funding new trust deed investments while we wait for the market to stabilize. In order to
streamline the operations of the company and its expense structures to the eroding current market conditions and declining
property values, the Board of Directors determined that the best course of action to preserve shareholder's value was to
outsource a significant portion of the Company's day-to-day administrative and asset management functions. The Executive
and Financial Officer responsibilities have been assumed by two of the existing board members, with a third member also
overseeing the operational aspects of the business on an as-needed basis. In addition, the day-to-day administrative and asset
management functions have been outsourced to a professional asset manager, Cupertino Capital. During the three months
ended December 31, 2008 our nonrecurring operating expenses were $48,957 compared with $49,211 during the three
months ended December 31, 2007. During the three months ended December 31, 2008 our rental expenses were
approximately $129,311 compared with zero during the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase is due to
converting the investment in MSB Brighton to a rental property from a property held for sale. For the three months ended
December 31, 2007, Brighton was under construction and was reported as a joint venture investment. 14

We recorded impairment charges totaling $2.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared with
$6.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2007. The impairments reported during the three months ended
December 31, 2007 was related to certain investments in which their values had declined due to declining real estate prices
and longer than normal estimated marketing periods. The recorded impairments during the three months ended December 31,
2008 related to certain investments that declined in value due to the prevailing conditions for the real estate market coupled
with slower sales rates on these investments than projected. We have impaired our investments based on our estimate of the
decrease in value resulting from the increase in costs associated with holding or renting the properties for an extended period
of time in this highly uncertain real estate market. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Liquidity means the need for,
access to and uses of cash. Our principal source of liquidity is the repayment of our real estate investments. Our principal
demands for liquidity are funds that are required to satisfy obligations under existing loan commitments, costs of operating and
holding investments in real estate development for future sales, and operating expenses. Sources of Cash As of December 31,
2008 our primary source of liquidity were sales of our completed investments in real estate, $1.5 million in line of credit
secured by property on Pulgas Ave., in East Palo Alto, CA, and the cash we held in the bank. We do not currently have any
plan to sell equity or issue debt securities. However, we do have the ability to borrow money from various funding sources
using our real estate investments as collateral if we determine that we need additional liquidity. We typically receive repayment
on our investments when the development project has been completed and sold or refinanced to third parties. Accordingly,
our repayments are a function of our developers' ability to complete and sell the development properties in which we have
invested. During the three months ended December 31, 2008 we received repayments, including income, totaling $1.4 million
compared with $3.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2007. The following table summarizes our liquidity
expectations based on current information regarding project completion and sales absorption assumptions for the investments
we held at December 31, 2008. The expected proceeds in the table are higher than our net realizable value estimates because
they include our estimated costs to complete and are presented net of $13,124,767 in secured debt. Expected Proceeds -----

------------ Total $ 31,472,378 ======================== It is possible that our repayments may not be sufficient
to timely meet our commitments and we may be forced to sell assets or seek financing at terms that may not be favorable to
us. This would have a negative impact on the estimated net realizable value of our assets. Uses of Cash The following table
sets forth the projected timing and amount of our obligations through September 30, 2010, without taking into account new
investments that may be made during future periods: 15

Total $ 505,580 $ 505,580 $ -- ================== ================== ==================
Investment fundings are the largest use of our cash. During the three months ended December 31, 2008 we invested $1.2
million in new and continuing development projects compared with $3.9 million during the three months ended December 31,
2007. In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we used cash in the
aggregate amount of $734,015 and $2,574,388, respectively to repurchase BellaVista common stock. At December 31,
2008, we estimated the costs to complete our investments in real estate developments plus the remaining funding obligation on
our joint venture investments in real estate developments to be approximately $505,580. The exact timing of the investment
fundings is dependent on several factors including weather, governmental regulation and developer related issues, so the timing
of investment fundings in the above table is an estimate based on information available to us at this time. Stock Repurchases In
the past, we have provided liquidity to our stockholders through the repurchase of outstanding shares. Because our stock does
not trade in any secondary market, no market value exists for our stock and another method must be used to determine the
repurchase price. The Board of Directors has used the net realizable value of the Company's assets as well as an assessment
of the risk profile for each investment to guide in the determination of the repurchase price for planned repurchases as well as
Company repurchases in response to unsolicited tender offers. Stockholder Liquidity and Realizable Value of Investments The
realizable value of our assets represents our current estimate of the amount of proceeds we expect to receive once our
investments are completed and ready for sale. The estimate relies on a number of assumptions including the expected value of
the investment once completed, less applicable selling costs, the remaining costs and the length of time required to complete
the project. Many factors outside of the Company's control can cause changes in these estimates and produce significantly
different results. Furthermore, as noted above, there is no organized public market for the Company's shares, so the
Company's calculation of the estimated realizable value of its assets per outstanding share should not be viewed as an estimate
of any market value per share, and there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any investment returns on the
shares. During the period from June 2005 to January 2009, the Company has not used its funds to pay dividends or
distributions or, except in certain extraordinary circumstances, to redeem shares. Such extraordinary circumstances have
included Company tender offers in response to unsolicited third party tender offers which the Board deemed inadequately
priced and opportunistic. The Board will determine the timing and terms of any future share redemptions based on available
liquidity, net realizable value, and assessment of the risk profile for each investment. The information presented below
reconciles the differences between the carrying value of our investments based on US GAAP and the estimated realizable
value of our investments.

===================
Our estimated net realizable assets per share was $2.73 at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $0.37 per share from the
$3.10 we estimated at September 30, 2008. The decrease in the estimated realizable value of several of our investments was
the result of the continuing significant declines in real estate values and the substantial reduction in inventory absorption rates.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation covers our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-
going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the valuation of our assets and
liabilities. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are
Processed and formatted by SEC Watch - Visit SECWatch.com
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions. Management believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect
the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Valuation and
Realizability of Investments. All of our Acquire, Develop, and Construct loans (ADC loans) are classified for financial
reporting purposes as joint venture investments in real estate developments. We have taken ownership on some ADC loans
that are classified as investments in real estate developments. Such investments are stated at the lower of cost or fair value.
Management conducts a review for impairment on an investment-by-investment basis whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an investment may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when
estimated expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges), typically from the sale of a completed
property, are less than the carrying amount of the investment, plus estimated costs to complete. The estimation of expected
future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies to a considerable extent on assumptions regarding current and future
economics and market conditions. If, in future periods, there are changes in the estimates or assumptions incorporated into the
impairment review analysis, the changes could result in an adjustment to the carrying amount of the investments. To the extent
that there is impairment, the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over its estimated fair value, less estimated selling
costs, will be charged to income. We believe that all of our investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value; however
conditions may change and cause our ADC loans and investments in real estate to decline in value in a future period. 17

Loan Accounting. We have applied the guidance of AICPA Practice Bulletin 1, Purpose and Scope of AcSEC Practice
Bulletins and Procedures for Their Issuance, Exhibit I in accounting for our investment loans as real estate acquisition,
development, or construction (ADC) arrangements. In accordance with the ADC accounting rules, we treat these loans as if
they were real estate joint ventures, and thus we do not accrue income for interest and points on our ADC loans until the sale
or refinancing of a property. Revenue from interest and points from these ADC loans is recognized as cash is received from
the sale or refinancing of such properties. ADC loans are classified as joint venture investments in real estate developments
and include amounts funded under the loan agreements. If our ADC loans qualified as loans under GAAP, interest and points
would be recognized as income in periods prior to the sale of the underlying property. In addition to ADC loans, we have
made direct equity investments in real estate joint ventures. These joint venture investments are accounted for in the same
manner as our ADC loans and are classified as joint venture investments in real estate developments. ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. Not applicable. ITEM 4T.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures The Company's
management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated
the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the fiscal period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not fully effective as of December 31, 2008 due to the significant deficiency disclosed in item 8A of the Company's most
recent Annual Report on form 10-KSB for the twelve months ended September 30, 2008. Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting There have been no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the last quarterly
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls A control system,
no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives 18

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. Refer to the discussion under the heading
"Litigation" in Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited), included in Part I, Item
1 above, for a description of certain Legal Proceedings in which the Company is involved. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
General Economic Conditions in Lending Areas. Our business plan seeks to diversify our investments throughout California
and other states in the western United States of America. Approximately 83.09% of our investments are currently located in
the San Francisco Bay Area, 15.9% are in Southern California, .47% is in California's Central Valley, and 1.24% are located
in other states of the United States of America. The potential success of real estate investments in general is subject to
fluctuations in local market conditions, including fluctuations in the supply of and demand for similar properties, and the success
of our investments will depend, to some extent, on the economic and real estate market conditions prevailing in the markets
where our investments are located. Since the investments are located in a limited geographical region, they may be subject to a
greater risk of delinquency or default if the industries concentrated there suffer adverse economic or business developments.
Realization of Assets. The Company's liquidity and ability to meet its obligations as they become due are subject to, among
other things, its ability to obtain timely repayments or other dispositions of its investments. Many of the investments rely on the
completion and sale of the developed real estate in order to realize repayment or other disposition proceeds. In the event that
proceeds from repayments or other investment dispositions are not sufficient to timely meet our commitments and credit
facilities are not extended on terms favorable to us, we may be forced to sell some of our investments prematurely. In such
cases, the amount of proceeds received could be substantially less than what we would have expected if we allowed a proper
marketing period for the investment. This would have a negative impact on the estimated net realizable value of our assets and
would force the Company to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as seeking additional capital or further
downsizing. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Other. In addition, we are subject to other significant business and financial risks, including but not limited to liquidity, the
prevailing market for residential real estate, fluctuations in prevailing interest rates, timely completion of projects by developers,
uninsured risks such as earthquake and other casualty damage that may be uninsurable or insurable only at economically
unfeasible costs, and potential environmental liabilities relating to properties on which we have made investments or received
through foreclosure. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS. (a) Not
