LEGEND PROPERTIES, INC. 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1998

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION                                                  

Legend Properties, Inc. (Legend or the Company) formerly known as Banyan        
Mortgage Investment Fund (Banyan), is the surviving corporation from the        
December 31, 1996 merger (the Merger) with RGI U.S. Holdings, Inc. (RGI/US).    
Prior to the Merger, RGI/US was a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGI Holdings, Inc. 
(Holdings). As of March 31, 1998, Holdings owns approximately 79% of the        
outstanding common shares of Legend Properties, Inc.                            

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Legend and its    
subsidiaries . In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited         
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only   
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial         
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.       
Certain financial statement items from the prior year have been reclassified to 
be consistent with the current year financial statement presentation. All       
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in      
consolidation.                                                                  

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the  
consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures contained in the  
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997,      
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.                              

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not     
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  

2.    ACQUISITION OF REAL ESTATE                                                

On March 6, 1998 Ashburn Corporate Center, LC (Ashburn), a majority owned       
subsidiary of the Company, acquired the initial phase of the Ashburn Corporate  
Center comprised of approximately 88 acres for a total purchase price of        
approximately $7,098,021 including closing costs and allocated fees. Ashburn has
the second phase, comprised of approximately 28 acres, under contract for a     
closing in June 1998. Total purchase price for this parcel, including estimated 
closing costs and allocated fees is approximately $3,919,641.                   

The Ashburn Corporate Center is a commercial business park development          
project located in Loudoun County, Virginia planned for office and flex/tech    
uses. The project is fully improved with sewer, water and roadways in place.    

Ashburn is owned 82% by the Company which serves as the managing partner.       
The remaining 18% is owned by unaffiliated third parties. The Company is        
entitled to: first, an 18% preferred return; second, return of its capital      
contribution; and thereafter, a declining percentage of cash flows (80% to 60%) 
until it achieves certain internal rates of return on its capital contribution. 

The acquisition was funded with two loans in the amounts of $5,500,000 and      
$440,000, which mature on September 6, 1999. The interest rate on both loans is 
18%, payable monthly.                                                           

3.    CONTINGENCIES                                                             

The Company is subject to various lawsuit arising in the ordinary course of     
business.  The Company is of the opinion that the outcome of any such lawsuits  
will not have a material adverse effect on its operations.

Prior to the Merger, RGI/US was a wholly-owned subsidiary of RGI Holdings, Inc. 
(Holdings).  As of March 31, 1998, Holdings owns approximately 79% of the       
outstanding common shares of Legend.                                            

The Company's strategy is to realize and enhance the market potential of its    
core assets.  The Company currently controls more than 5,000 acres of land in   
two master planned communities (Southbridge and Chapman's Landing), a           
commercial business park development (the Ashburn Corporate Center), a          
residential golf community (Grand Harbor) and a retirement community (Oak       
Harbor).                                                                        

Grand Harbor is a 772-acre residential golf community located in Vero Beach,    
Florida. Oak Harbor is a 116-acre retirement community also located in Vero     
Beach, Florida. The Royal Palm Convalescent Center is a skilled nursing care    
facility licensed for 72 beds located in Vero Beach, Florida (Oak Harbor and    
Royal Palm are collectively referred to as Oak Harbor). Southbridge is a        
2,685-acre development located in Prince William County, Virginia. Chapman's    
Landing is a 2,227-acre parcel located in Charles County, Maryland.             

The Ashburn Corporate Center is a 116-acre commercial business park development 
project located in Loudoun County, Virginia planned for office and flex/tech    
uses.  The project is fully improved with sewer, water and roadways in place.   
On March 6, 1998 the Company closed on the initial acquisition of 88 acres with 
the remaining 28 acres scheduled to close in June 1998.  Acquisition and        
development costs are expected to total approximately $14 million.  The         
Company's primary business strategy is the sale of finished commercial office   
and flex/tech lots to third-party developers and on a selective basis the       
construction of buildings for owner/users.                                      

The Company is currently focused on continuing the development of               
infrastructure, amenities and residential units at Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor  
consistent with approved zoning and development plans.  Additional, the Company 
intends to develop and sell land parcels at Southbridge and Chapman's Landing   
and the Ashburn Corporate Center.  The Company's ability to fully implement its 
business plan is dependent on, among other things, securing short-term and      
long-term financing on acceptable terms.                                        

The Company has been negotiating with the State of Maryland regarding the       
possible sale of all or a part of the Chapman's Landing project.  Negotiations, 
the disclosure of which is limited by a confidentiality agreement, have         
continued for several months.  According to media reports, the State of         
Maryland has budgeted funds for a possible acquisition.  Although negotiations  
continue, the finalization of an agreement is not certain and the Company       
continues to pursue the state wetlands permit to allow development to commence. 
The development plan for Chapman's Landing could be substantially revised       
depending upon the outcome of the negotiations with the State of Maryland and   
the progress of the issuance of the wetlands permit.                            

In December 1997, three individuals filed a request for a contested case        
hearing challenging the issuance of a Groundwater Appropriation Permit by the   
Maryland Department of the Environment for the Chapman's Landing project.  The  
plaintiffs sought to have the Groundwater Appropriation Permit invalidated      
since they contended the permit was originally issued improperly.               

During March and April of 1998, oral arguments were heard in the contested case 
hearing.  The contested case hearing is an administrative appeal before a       
Maryland Administrative Law Judge.  A ruling on the hearing has not yet been    
issued.  The Company is contesting this case vigorously and expects to prevail.

Business Plan." Actual results could differ materially from those projected in  
the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update  
these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances.     

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES                                                 

Historically, the Company has utilized internally generated funds, third party  
borrowing and loans from Holdings and affiliated entities to fund its           
construction and development activities, and ongoing operating expenses.        
During the first quarter 1998, the Company did not borrow any additional funds  
from Holdings, but utilized existing cash and cash equivalents and third party  
borrowings to fund its development, construction and operating activities.      

As of March 31, 1998, the Company's debt obligations totaled $136,201,158 of    
which $26,358,162 matures by March 31, 1999 and an additional $96,514,108 by    
March 31, 2000.  A substantial portion of the debt that matures in the twelve   
months period ending March 31, 2000 relates to loans from Holdings              
($74,308,604) of which a substantial portion ($58,070,704) matures on April 1,  
1999.                                                                           

The Company's business plan for 1998 contemplates expenditures of approximately 
$27,000,000 for the continued development and construction at Southbridge,      
Chapman's Landing, Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor.  For Grand Harbor and Oak       
Harbor, the Company anticipates utilizing existing construction lines for the   
majority of the approximate $16 million of construction financing required but  
must arrange financing for the remainder.  For Southbridge and Chapman's        
Landing, the Company must arrange development financing of approximately $13    
million.  The excess borrowings of approximately $2 million are intended to     
replace a portion of the internally funded development costs from 1997 at       
Southbridge with external borrowings.  In addition to the expenditures noted    
above, the Company anticipated utilizing approximately $ 13 million for         
acquisition and development of Ashburn during 1998.  External financing of      
$5,940,000 is already in place.  The Company is in negotiations with several    
third party lenders for the remaining acquisition financing.                    

As noted above, the Company has substantial existing debt obligations maturing  
in 1998 and early 1999 and requires additional financing to advance its         
business plan.  As of March 31, 1998 the Company had $4,545,906 of cash and     
cash equivalents, which will not be sufficient to fund these obligations. The   
Company anticipates meeting its debt obligations in 1998 from existing cash     
resources, the release of restricted cash pledged as collateral on certain      
debt, and from refinancings.  However, there can be no assurance that the       
Company will be able to refinance the existing indebtedness or obtain the       
necessary construction and development financing to implement its business plan 
or that, if available, the terms and conditions will be acceptable to the       
Company.  If the Company is unable to secure the necessary additional financing 
or capital when needed, the business plans for its projects will likely be      
materially revised, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
financial condition and results of operations.                                  

The cash flow generated from operations for each of Legend's projects can       
differ substantially from earnings, depending on the status of the development  
cycle.  At the Southbridge, Chapman's Landing and Ashburn properties, which are 
in the initial stages of development, significant cash outlays are required     
for, among other things, land acquisitions, obtaining zoning and other          
regulatory approvals, construction of amenities (including golf courses,        
clubhouses and recreation centers), sales facilities, major roads, utilities,   
general landscaping and debt service. Since a major part of these initial       
expenditures are capitalized, income reported for financial statement purposes  
during the initial years may significantly exceeding operating cash flow.  At   
the Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor properties, which have completed the initial    
stages of development, operating cash flow can exceed earnings reported for     
financial statement purposes, since expenses include charges for substantial    
amounts previously capitalized.

Legend's cash and cash equivalents balance at March 31, 1998, and December 31,  
1997, was $4,545,906 and $12,732,681, respectively.  The decrease in the first  
quarter of 1998 is attributable to cash utilized in operating and investing     
activities of $8,896,525 and $717,968, respectively, partially offset by cash   
provided by financing activities of $1,427,718.                                 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities: For the quarter ended March 31, 1998,     
Legend utilized cash in operating activities of $8,896,525.                     

Cash utilized in operations in the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was primarily   
due to the following:                                                           

-   Net losses of $1,963,368, due primarily to operating losses at the Oak      
Harbor, Southbridge and Chapman's Landing developments, substantial     
  interest expense as well as corporate overhead expenses.  These losses are
   partially offset by an operating profit at the Grand Harbor project.  Sales
at Oak Harbor were less than anticipated and lower than the comparable  
   period of 1997, while Southbridge experienced delays in lot development due
  to an extremely wet winter in the Washington D.C. area, and closed on only
  8 lots in the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  As noted above, due to delays
  in obtaining the final permits and the ongoing negotiations with the State
of Maryland, the Company has only commenced limited development at      
   Chapman's Landing, but continues to incur substantial expense to obtain the
  final permits required for significant development to begin.  Grand Harbor
generated an operating profit, mainly because of the sale of a 20-acre  
  parcel of raw land and the sale of 16 residential units, compared to 12 in
the first quarter of 1997.                                              

-   An increase in accounts and notes receivable and other assets of $715,417   
   and a decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities of $788,153 during
 the three months ended March 31, 1998. Fluctuations in these accounts are
generally due to the timing of the payment of certain liabilities,      
including trade payables, advances from customers, prepaid expenses, and
the collection of accounts and notes receivable.  These fluctuations can
vary significantly from period to period depending on the timing of sale
   closing, and development and construction activities.  Due to the nature of
Legend's business, significant fluctuations in operating assets and     
liabilities are not considered unusual.                                 

-   An increase in real estate inventory of $7,572,677.  The primary reason for 
this increase was the acquisition of the initial parcel in the Ashburn  
Corporate Center and related development activity totaling approximately
 $7.5 million. In addition, construction of residential units continued at
Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor, including the work on the second 24-unit   
   condominium building at Oak Harbor, scheduled to be finalized in the fourth
  quarter of 1998.  Development activities continued at Southbridge in order
 to develop finished lots for expected deliveries in 1998 and beyond under
existing contracts, however the construction activity was slower than in
   the previous months mainly because of the extremely wet winter in the area.
In total these construction, development and land acquisition activities
 totaled $13,187,353.  This was offset by sales of 16 and 4 units at Grand
   Harbor and Oak Harbor, respectively, 8 residential lot sales at Southbridge
  and the sale of a 20-acre parcel of raw land at Grand Harbor.  These sales
reduced inventory by $5,614,676.                                        

Partially offset by the following:                                              

-   Related party interest expense of $1,412,075 was not paid during the        
  quarter ended March 31, 1998 pursuant to the terms of the loan agreements.

9 

10-Q 10th Page of 15 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 10th

-   Depreciation and amortization expense of $731,015 related primarily to      
fixed assets at Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor and amortization of deferred
loan costs.                                                             

Cash Flows from Investing Activities:  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998,    
Legend utilized cash flow in investing activities of $717,968. The amount of    
cash utilized in investing activities increased mainly due to an increase in    
customer deposits and other restricted cash at Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor, and 
establishing a cash escrow for the Ashburn project.  In addition property and   
equipment was purchased for a total of $154,905.                                

Cash Flows from Financing Activities:  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998,    
Legend generated net cash from financing activities in the amount of            
$1,427,718. The Company borrowed an additional $8,644,327 from external parties 
($5,940,000 at Ashburn, $1,769,373 at Grand Harbor and $934,954 at Oak Harbor). 
The borrowings at Ashburn was used to finance the first takedown of land        
acquisition described above, while the borrowings at Grand Harbor and Oak       
Harbor was used primarily to fund certain construction and development costs.   
Repayments on external debt totaled $7,163,105 for Grand Harbor ($5,281,240)    
and Oak Harbor ($1,881,865).  The repayments were made primarily from funds     
generated through sales of residential units and club memberships and from      
using the cash available at December 31, 1997.                                  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                                           

Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1998, include the    
consolidated revenues and expenses of Southbridge, Chapman's Landing, Grand     
Harbor, Oak Harbor and the Ashburn Corporate Center, whereas the results of     
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 include the consolidated   
revenues and expenses of Southbridge, Chapman's Landing, Grand Harbor, Oak      
Harbor, Laguna Seca and the Lynnwood Center.  Both the Laguna Seca Ranch, a     
565-acre parcel located in Monterey, California, and the Lynnwood Center, a     
164,724 square foot shopping center located in Lynnwood, Washington, were sold  
in the fourth quarter of 1997.                                                  

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were          
$12,819,641 and $14,060,058, respectively. The decrease of $1,240,417 was       
mainly due to a decrease in real estate sales at Oak Harbor and the fact that   
1997 results included rent revenues for the Lynnwood Center.                    

Real estate sales decreased by $863,203 to $9,831,141 in the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 from $10,694,344 in the comparable period of 1997.  In the three 
months ended March 31, 1998, real estate sales at Grand Harbor, Oak Harbor and  
Southbridge were $8,204,807, $1,401,334, and $300,000, respectively, compared   
to sales of $4,563,636 and $6,130,708 at Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor,           
respectively, in the comparable period of 1997. A total of 16 Grand Harbor      
residential units were sold during the first quarter of 1998 at an average sale 
price of approximately $343,000 as compared to 12 units sold during the         
comparable period of 1997 at an average sale price of approximately $330,000.   
Also included in real estate revenues for Grand Harbor in first quarter 1998 is 
sale of a 20 acre parcel of raw land for a sales price of approximately $1.9    
million, while no such sale was done in the comparable period of 1997.  Real    
Estate revenues for Grand Harbor also include sale of club equity memberships   
and commissions for resales of $795,667 for the first quarter of 1998, compared 
to $613, 137 in the comparable period of 1997.  A total of 4 Oak Harbor         
residential units were sold during the three months ended March 31, 1998, at an 
average sale price of approximately $350,000, compared to 16 units in the three 
months ended March 31, 1997, at an average sale price of approximately          
$383,000.  The significant decrease in the number of units sold at Oak Harbor   
is mainly due to the fact that the first 24 unit condominium building was       
finalized during the first three months of 1997, and therefore most of the      
pre-sold units closed in this period.  This event is the main reason for the    
decrease in the total real estate revenues.   Since sales prices range from     
$165,000 to approximately $1,100,000 at Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor, the        
average sales price of residential units may fluctuate significantly from       
period to period depending upon the type of product sold.

10-Q 11th Page of 15 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 11th
Due to an extremely wet winter in the Washington D.C. area, development         
activities at the Southbridge project were delayed, and the Company was only    
able to close on the sale of eight lots in the first quarter of 1998, at an     
average sales price of $ 37,500.  The Company did not close on the sale of any  
lots in the comparable period of 1997.  Only limited development has commenced  
at Chapman's Landing, due to delays in obtaining the final permits and the      
negotiations with the State of Maryland as discussed above.  Ashburn has        
already entered a sales and marketing phase after an ownership period of only a 
couple of months, and the goal is to close on the first sale within 6 to 9      
months.                                                                         

Rent revenues decreased from $631,026 in the three months ended March 31, 1997  
to zero in 1998 as a result of the sale of the Lynnwood Center in November      
1997.                                                                           

As an offset to the decrease in real estate revenues and rent, revenues         
generated by club operations at Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor increased $273,346. 
The club at Grand Harbor increased revenues $108,927 from $1,513,451 in first   
quarter 1997 to $1,566,948 in 1998, due primarily to the increase in overall    
memberships and related activities.  The Oak Harbor Club did not begin          
operations until March 1, 1997, and therefore, revenues increased $219,849,     
from $27,450 in first quarter 1997 to $247,299 in 1998.                         

Total operating costs and expenses decreased $1,260,181 to $12,770,589 in the   
three months ended March 31, 1998, from $14,030,770 for the comparable period   
of 1997.  The decrease was due primarily to an overall decrease in expenses     
associated with real estate sales due to a decrease in the number of units sold 
and an increase in the gross margin, partially off set by slight increases in   
most of the other line items.                                                   

Gross margin as a percentage of real estate sales was 43% (32% excluding the    
sale of the 20 acre parcel of raw land at Grand Harbor) for the first quarter   
of 1998, compared to 28% for the comparable period in 1997.  During the first   
quarter of 1998, costs associated with the lot sales at Southbridge were also   
included whereas the first quarter of 1997 results reflected no sales activity  
at Southbridge.  Gross margins realized on the sale of residential units at     
Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor may fluctuate significantly from period to period   
depending upon the type of product sold and the number of "trade in" sales.     
Gross margin on residential lot sales at Southbridge during the first quarter   
1998 was 20%.                                                                   

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $489,818 to       
$4,167,431 in the three months ended March 31, 1998, from $3,677,613 in the     
three months ended March 31, 1997.  The increase  in SG&A resulted primarily    
from increased activity at Grand Harbor, Oak Harbor and Southbridge, and        
secondly increased expenses at Chapman's Landing, mainly related to the ongoing 
negotiations with the State of Maryland and legal fees associated with legal    
proceeding related to the permits.   This was partially offset by a decrease in 
corporate overhead, mainly due to high legal expenses in 1997 related to the    
lawsuit challenging the Merger.                                                 

Expenses related to club operations increased $241,590, from $1,567,166 in the  
first quarter of 1997 to $1,808,756 in the first quarter of 1998.  The increase 
resulted from higher activity at the Grand Harbor Club, and an increase in Oak  
Harbor club activities that commenced in March 1997.                            

Rental operations expenses decreased from $99,413 in the three months ended     
March 31, 1997 to zero for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as a result   
of the sale of the Lynnwood Center in November 1997.                            

Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $418,798 in first quarter  
1997 to $518,896 in 1998 due primarily to the commencement of depreciation on   
the Oak Harbor clubhouse and assisted living facility.                          

Interest income decreased $208,087 to $265,753 for the three months ended March 
31, 1998, from $473,840 in 1997, primarily due to a reduction in the restricted

Other income increased $236,406 to $351,937 for the three months ended March    
31, 1998, from $115,531 in 1997, primarily due to a distribution from an        
interest in a liquidating trust in the first quarter of 1998.                   

Interest expense to external lenders decreased $284,175 to $1,355,342 in the    
three months ended March 31, 1998, from $1,639,517 in 1997, while related party 
interest expense increased $156,520 to $1,274,788 in the first quarter of 1998, 
from $1,118,268 in 1997.  The decrease in interest expense to external lenders  
fesulted from a reduction in outstanding external indebtedness of approximately 
$22.5 million from March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998, resulting primarily from   
the sale of the Lynnwood Center, and partially from the sales of residential    
units at Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor and refinancing using related party debt.  
In contrast, the increase in related party interest expense is attributable to  
additional borrowings from related parties for operations and development at    
the properties and refinancing of external debt.  This increase in related      
party debt is partially offset by a reduction in the average interest rate on   
indebtedness to related parties.                                                

The combination of the above changes resulted in a net loss of $1,963,368       
($0.31 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as compared to a   
net loss of 2,115,437 ($0.34 per share) for the three months ended March 31,    
1997.
