     The accompanying consolidated  financial statements  of
Fairfield  Communities,  Inc. ("Fairfield")  and  its wholly

prepared  in accordance  with generally  accepted accounting
principles  for interim  financial statements  and with  the

Accordingly, they do not include all of  the information and
footnotes   required   by   generally  accepted   accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  The   interim
financial   information  is  unaudited,   but  reflects  all

which are,  in the opinion  of management,  necessary for  a
fair presentation  of the  results  of operations  for  such
interim  periods.   The results  of operations  for  the six
months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results  of  operations that  may  be expected  for  the
entire  year.    For  further  information,  refer  to   the
consolidated  financial  statements  and  footnotes  thereto
included  in the  Annual Report  on Form  10-K for  the year
ended December 31, 1995.  

     Certain   previously   reported   amounts   have   been
reclassified  to conform  to the  presentation used  for the
current period.    The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated
financial statements, and related notes thereto, include the
accounts of  Fairfield and  its  wholly owned  subsidiaries,
with all significant intercompany accounts  and transactions
eliminated.

  NOTE 6 - NET LIABILITIES OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
  ------   ---------------------------------------
       At  June  30, 1996,  assets  held for  sale consisted
  primarily of  (i) those assets collateralizing  the Senior
  Subordinated  Secured Notes ("FCI Notes") and (ii) certain
  assets purchased  in conjunction  with the  sale of  First
  Federal Savings  and Loan  Association  of Charlotte  (the
  "Association  Assets").   Net  assets  held for  sale have
  been recorded at the lower  of the carrying amount  of the
  asset  or  fair  value,  less  estimated  selling   costs.
  Disposal  of  these  assets  have  been  at  sales  prices
  approximating book value.

       The FCI  Notes are collateralized  by (i) certain  of
  the  Company's  real estate  inventories  located  at  its
  Pointe Alexis  development  in  Tarpon  Springs,  Florida,
  (ii)  the  Company's 30%  partnership  interest  in  Sugar
  Island  limited partnership  in St.  Croix,  U. S.  Virgin
  Islands and (iii)  the Company's 35% partnership  interest
  in Harbour Ridge,  Ltd., a limited partnership  engaged in
  the development of  a tract of land near  Stuart, Florida.
  The  FCI  Notes  bear interest  at  10%  compounded  semi-
  annually  and mature on the earlier of (i) the sale of all
  the collateral or  (ii) the later of (a) 60 days after the
  FNBB loans have been  paid in full or  (b) March 1,  1997.
  The FCI Notes  are nonrecourse to the Company and the sole
  sources of repayment  consist of the collateral (including
  funds  on deposit in  collateral prepayment accounts), any
  proceeds  from  the   sale  of  the  collateral   and,  as
  described below, the  shares of Common Stock  of Fairfield
  reserved as additional collateral for the FCI  Notes.  Due
  to the illiquid  nature of  certain of the  collateral for
  the  FCI  Notes,  Fairfield  carries  these  assets  at  a
  substantial  discount  from 1991  appraised  values, which
  have  not  been  updated and  may  not  be  indicative  of
  current fair  value.  In  the event the  proceeds from the
  sale  of  the  remaining  collateral  (including funds  on
  deposit in  collateral prepayment  accounts) securing  the
  FCI Notes,  or the fair  value of any  such collateral not
  sold, are  insufficient to fully  repay the principal  and
  accrued interest  on the FCI  Notes, Fairfield will  issue
  shares of its Common Stock,  up to a maximum  number equal
  to what a holder of  a $5 million general  unsecured claim
  was  entitled to  receive  on the  effective  date of  the
  plans of reorganization (588,235 shares).     

       Net  liabilities of assets held for sale consisted of

  Company's valuation  allowance for deferred tax assets and
  as additions to paid-in capital.

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

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

  SIX  MONTHS ENDED  JUNE 30,  1996 COMPARED  TO SIX  MONTHS
  ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

       Vacation Ownership
        -----------------
       Gross   revenues  of   vacation  ownership  interests
  ("VOIs") totaled $50.4  million and $36.3 million  for the
  six months  ended June  30, 1996  and 1995,  respectively.
  Of  this  increase,   $11.0  million  is  attributable  to
  increased sales volumes at the Company's newer  locations,
  including  off-site sales  offices,  and $3.1  million  is
  attributable to  increased sales volumes  at the Company's
  more mature locations. 

       Net VOI revenues  increased to $51.1 million  for the
  six months ended  June 30, 1996 from $35.8 million for the
  six months ended June 30, 1995.   The increase in net  VOI
  revenues  is attributable  to the  same  factors as  noted
  above and the  recognition of net deferred revenue  of $.7
  million  during  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996,
  related   to  the  percentage   of  completion  method  of
  accounting, as  compared to  net deferred  revenue of  $.5
  million during the  six months ended June 30, 1995.  Under
  the  percentage of  completion method  of accounting,  the
  portion  of revenues  attributable  to  costs incurred  as
  compared   to  total  estimated   construction  costs  and
  selling expenses,  is recognized  in the  period of  sale.
  The remaining  revenue is deferred  and recognized as  the
  remaining costs are incurred.

       Cost  of sales, as  a percentage  of related revenues
  was 25.2%  and 27.8%  for the  six months  ended June  30,
  1996 and 1995, respectively.  During  the six months ended
  June  30, 1996, the Company benefited from increased sales
  of  fixed  week inventory  at  its more  mature locations,
  which has a  lower cost basis as compared to the Company's
  newer  locations.    Sales  of  this  limited  fixed  week
  inventory are not  expected to occur to this extent in the
  future, but will occur from time to time.  

       Selling
       -------
       Selling  expenses,  including  commissions, for  both
  VOI  and lot sales, as  a percentage  of related revenues,
  were 50.9%  and 58.1%, for  the six months  ended June 30,
  1996  and 1995,  respectively.   The  decrease in  selling
  expenses,  as  a   percentage  of  related  revenues,   is  
  primarily   attributable   to   anticipated   efficiencies
  experienced  at  the  Company's  newer  destination  sites
  located  in  Orlando,  Florida  and Nashville,  Tennessee.
  Management   continues    to   work   to   improve   sales
  efficiencies   at   its   newer   locations   and   future
  efficiencies should be realized  as these projects  mature
  and their base of property owners expands.

       Interest
       --------
       Interest income  remained  constant  during  the  six
  months ended June  30, 1996 as compared to the same period
  in 1995.    For the  six  months ended  June  30, 1996  as
  compared to the same  period in  1995, interest earned  on
  short-term investments  decreased $.3  million, which  was
  offset  by  (i) an  increase  in  the average  balance  of
  outstanding  contracts  receivable  ($137.0  million   and
  $133.4 million for  the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
  1995) and  (ii) an increase in the weighted average stated
  interest  rate   on  the  Company's  contracts  receivable
  (13.4% and  13.0% for the  six months ended  June 30, 1996
  and 1995).

       Interest  expense  totaled  $3.6  million  and   $4.5
  million for the six months  ended June 30, 1996  and 1995,
  respectively.  This decrease is primarily  attributable to
  the  reduction  in  the  average  outstanding  balance  of
  interest-bearing debt, resulting primarily from  operating
  cash flows.   The   average   outstanding   

                             9

  balance  of interest bearing debt  decreased  from  $106.0 
  million  for the  six months ended June 30, 1995  to $80.2 
  million  for the six months  ended  June  30,  1996.   The  
  weighted average interest rate for the Company's financing  
  arrangements collateralized by  contracts  receivable  was 
  8.5% and 7.9% for  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996 
  and  1995,  respectively.

       General and Administrative
       --------------------------
       General  and  administrative expenses  increased from
  $5.5 million during  the six months ended June 30, 1995 to
  $7.1 million  during the six months  ended June  30, 1996.
  This increase resulted from  additional  expenses incurred
  resulting  from  the  increased   VOI  sales  volumes   as
  previously  discussed and    additional accruals  recorded
  related to the Company s  employee incentive plans.   As a
  percentage of total  revenues, general and  administrative
  expenses  remained  relatively  constant  between  periods
  (9.0% for the six months  ended June 30, 1996  versus 8.8%
  for the six months ended June 30, 1995).   

       Other
       -----
       Other  revenues  for the  six  months ended  June 30,
  1996 and  1995 include  home sales  totaling $4.5  million
  and  $2.4 million, respectively.   Other  expenses for the
  six months ended  June 30, 1996  and 1995   include  homes
  costs of  sales, including selling expenses, totaling $4.1
  million  and $2.3  million, respectively.   Other revenues
  for the  six months ended  June 30, 1996  and 1995 include
  $.1 million  and  $1.1 million,  respectively, related  to
  the Company's  35% partnership interest in  Harbour Ridge,
  Ltd.,  a limited partnership engaged in the development of
  a tract of land near Stuart, Florida.  

  THREE MONTHS ENDED  JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS
  ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

       Revenue  and  expense trends  for  the  three  months
  ended June 30,  1996 were generally consistent  with those
  of the related  six month period as  described above  with
  (i)  an  increase in  gross  and  net  VOI  sales, (ii)  a
  decrease  in selling expenses  as a  percentage of related
  revenues, and (iii) a decrease in interest expense.
       
       Other  revenues and  expenses  for  the three  months
  ended  June 30,  1996  include  home sales  totaling  $3.2
  million  and  related costs  of  sales,  including selling
  expenses, totaling  $3.0 million.   For  the three  months
  ended  June 30,  1995,  home sales  and  related costs  of
  sales, including  selling expenses,  totaled $1.2  million
  and $1.2 million, respectively.

  PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

       During the six  months ended June 30, 1996  and 1995,
  benefits   realized   from   the   utilization   of   pre-
  confirmation   net   operating   loss  carryforwards   and
  recognition  of   pre-confirmation  deductible   temporary
  differences   of   $3.5   million   and   $1.4    million,
  respectively,   were   recorded  as   reductions   of  the
  Company's valuation allowance  for deferred tax assets and
  as additions to paid-in capital. 

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Cash  and cash equivalents  of the  Company increased
  $.8  million from  December  31, 1995  to  June 30,  1996.
  During the  six months  ended June  30, 1996, the  Company
  generated $14.4 million in cash  and cash equivalents from
  operating activities  which was offset by  the use of cash
  and  cash  equivalents  in  financing activities  totaling
  $7.3 million.   During the six months ended June 30, 1996,
  loan originations exceeded principal  collections on loans
  by $3.9 million.  

                             10

       At  June  30,  1996,  Fairfield   had  no  borrowings
  outstanding  under  its  Amended  and  Restated  Revolving
  Credit  Agreement (the  "FCI  Agreement") with  The  First
  National  Bank of  Boston  ("FNBB").   The  FCI  Agreement
  provides  for revolving  loans  of  up to  $25.0  million,
  including up to $7.0 million  for letters of credit.   The
  revolving  loans  mature  on  January   1,  1998,  if  not
  extended  in  accordance   with  the  terms  of   the  FCI
  Agreement.   At  June 30,  1996,  Fairfield had  borrowing
  availability  under the  FCI Agreement  of $24.2  million,
  net  of  outstanding   letters  of  credit   totaling  $.8
  million.  

       At June 30,  1996, FAC had borrowings  outstanding of
  $23.2  million   under  its  Third  Amended  and  Restated
  Revolving  Credit  Agreement (the  "FAC  Agreement")  with
  FNBB.  The  FAC Agreement provides for revolving  loans of
  up to $35  million, including up to $1 million for letters
  of  credit.   The  revolving loans  mature  on January  1,
  1998, if not  extended in accordance with the terms of the
  FAC Agreement,  with Fairfield being a  guarantor pursuant
  to  the  FAC  Agreement.    At  June  30,  1996,  FAC  had
  borrowing  availability  of  $4.6 million  under  the  FAC
  Agreement.

       Historically,  the  Company  has  obtained   borrowed
  funds   primarily   through   various   revolving   credit
  agreements,  including  those  noted  above  and,  in  its
  efforts  to lower  the  costs  of  borrowed funds  and  to
  maintain  its  liquidity,  has  begun  to  securitize  its
  contracts receivable.  The Company  expects to finance its
  short and long-term cash needs  from (i) contract payments
  generated from  its contracts  receivable portfolio,  (ii)
  operating  cash flows,  (iii) borrowings  under its credit
  facilities,   and   (iv)   future  financings,   including
  additional securitizations of contracts receivable.

  FINANCIAL CONDITION

       Total  consolidated  assets of  the Company  increased
  $7.8  million  from  December  31, 1995  to June  30, 1996.
  The increase in assets  is primarily attributable to (i)  a
  $1.6  million increase   in net  loans  receivable, (ii)  a
  $2.8  million increase   in  real estate  inventories,  and
  (iii)  a  $2.3  million   increase   in  net  property  and
  equipment related primarily to the construction in progress  
  of the  Company' s new  corporate office  building.   Total
  consolidated  liabilities  of  the  Company decreased  $2.5
  million in  1996 due  primarily  to a net  reduction in the
  Company's financing  arrangements as previously  discussed.

       Other  variations   in  the   Company's  assets   and
  liabilities  generally  reflect the  revenue  and  expense
  activities  the Company experienced  during the six months
  ended June 30, 1996.

99        Ombudsman Report  for the period  ending June  30,
          1996   related   to   the    Registrant's   Senior
          Subordinated    Secured    Notes.        Fairfield
          Communities, Inc.  (the "Company") has  issued its
          10%  Senior Subordinated  Secured Notes  (the "FCI
          Notes")  pursuant to the Supplemented and Restated
          Indenture,  dated  as  of  September  1,  1992, as
          amended  (the  "Restated  Indenture"),  among  the
          Company, as issuer, Fairfield St. Croix,  Inc. and
          Fairfield  River Ridge,  Inc., as  guarantors, IBJ
          Schroder Bank  &  Trust Company,  as trustee  (the
          "Trustee"), and Houlihan Lokey  Howard & Zukin, as
          ombudsman (the "Ombudsman").  The Ombudsman, which
          was  designated by the  committee representing the
          holders of  the notes for which the FCI Notes were
          exchanged   in    the   Company's   reorganization
          proceedings,  as  part  of  its duties  under  the
          Restated  Indenture,  is  to  report  periodically
          concerning the  collateral securing the  FCI Notes
          and  other  matters  (the  "Ombudsman's Reports").
          The  Ombudsman's Reports are  not prepared  at the
          direction of, or in concert with, the Company  and
          are delivered by the Ombudsman to the Trustee  for
          distribution to  each holder of record  of the FCI
          Notes.   However, because the  Ombudsman's Reports

                               14

          are being distributed to the record holders of the
          FCI  Notes  and  the contents  of  the Ombudsman's
          Reports  may  be  of  interest  to  other persons,
          including  potential purchasers of  the FCI Notes,
          the Company  is filing herewith, as  Exhibit 99, a

    (1)   In accordance with the terms of the plans of reorganization,
          the number of shares to be issued to unsecured claim holders

INTRODUCTION
- -----------------------------------------------------------

In  connection with  Houlihan  Lokey Howard  & Zukin's  role
("Houlihan Lokey")  as the official  ombudsman ("Ombudsman")
to  the Fairfield  Communities,  Inc.  ("Fairfield"  or  the
"Company")    Senior   Subordinated    Secured   Noteholders
("Noteholders"),  the  following  is  the  quarterly  report
regarding the Noteholders' collateral for the quarter ending
June 30, 1996. 

The  Noteholders' collateral (the  "Collateral") consists of
all  of Fairfield's  interest  in its  (i) Fairfield  Pointe
Alexis  development  (excluding   certain  lots  pledged  as
Collateral  to the First National Bank of Boston) located in
Tarpon  Springs, Florida  ("Pointe  Alexis");  (ii)  Harbour
Ridge joint  venture in  Stuart, Florida  ("Harbour Ridge");
and (iii)  Sugar  Island joint  venture in  St. Croix,  U.S.
Virgin Islands ("Sugar Island").  Noteholders previously had
Collateral interests in the Bald Mountain Golf Course at the
Fairfield Mountain Development ("Bald Mountain Golf Course")
until  it was sold on February  9, 1993 and the Harbour Golf
Course  at the  Fairfield Harbour  development in  New Bern,
North  Carolina ("Harbour Golf Course") until it was sold on
October 8, 1993.

In addition, Fairfield has reserved, but not issued, 588,235
shares of  its common  stock (approximately five  percent of
the outstanding  Fairfield common  stock on  a fully-diluted
basis)  on behalf of the Noteholders to be issued,  in whole
or part, and to the extent that the Collateral sale proceeds
are insufficient  to fully  repay the principal  and accrued
interest   on   the   Senior   Subordinated   Secured  Notes
("Notes").     As of  July  31, 1996,  the trading  price of
Fairfield's common stock was 15 1/4.

Pursuant to Fairfield's plan of reorganization, efforts  are
underway  to  liquidate  all  of  the  Fairfield  controlled
Collateral (Pointe  Alexis) and to continue  receipt of cash
flow distributions from  Collateral consisting of  Fairfield
general and  limited partnership interests (Sugar Island and
Harbour Ridge).  Fairfield also must maintain the Collateral
it controls until March, 1997.

Collateral proceeds  during the quarter ended  June 30, 1996
totaled  approximately   $191,450  (excluding  approximately
$4,200 funded to the Noteholders' Operating Account which is
used to pay administrative expenses  at Pointe Alexis).  The
balance in  the  Noteholders' Interest  Payment Account  was
$633,951 as of June 30, 1996.
  
Since  the effective date of  Fairfield's Chapter 11 plan of
reorganization,  Noteholders   have  received  distributions
totaling  approximately $14,233,508 of  which $6,224,229 was
interest  and  $8,009,279   was  principal.  The   remaining  
principal  balance  outstanding  as  of June  30,  1996  was
$14,785,807 which amount is secured by all of the Collateral
outlined  in   this  report  (including  the   cash  balance
mentioned  above).   The  above principal  balance has  been
reduced  by $19,858  for  notes which  were not tendered for
exchange  pursuant  to   Fairfield's  Chapter  11  plan   of
reorganization.

This report will serve to more fully describe the Collateral
as well as  to update  the Noteholders with  the respect  to
both  the condition  and expected  cash flow  of all  of the
remaining Collateral. <PAGE>
 


POINTE ALEXIS
- -----------------------------------------------------------

Fairfield  Pointe  Alexis  is   divided  into  two  separate
developments,  Pointe Alexis  South and Pointe  Alexis North
(Harbour Watch), both located in Tarpon Springs, Florida.

Pointe Alexis South is  a Fairfield community master planned
for 271 units.   As  of June 30,  1996,   172 lots had  been
sold,  42  were  vacant  lots with  roads  and  improvements
installed, and 57 were  raw land with no improvements.   The
aggregate release  price (the amount  which must be  paid to
Noteholders upon  sale of each  unit) for all  the remaining
lots is $1,140,375  although some of  the interior lots  may
never  yield any  appreciable  value and  even  many of  the
water-front  lots may eventually  need to be  sold at prices
well below the current release prices.  Originally developed
as a  retirement community,  Pointe Alexis has  both single-
and  multi-family  product.    As a  result  of  Fairfield's
Chapter  11  filing  and  limited sales  at  Pointe  Alexis,
however,  the  Company   limited  construction  activity  to
projects in progress  and began marketing tracts  of land in
bulk to other developers.  This strategy will continue going
forward.  Lot prices  range from $12,000 to $20,000  but may
be discounted if large tracts of land are sold in bulk. 

The community surrounding the development consists mostly of
lower  income housing and  access from the  Tampa airport is
poor; however, some of  the lots (especially the water-front
lots)  do have appeal.  In addition, Pointe Alexis is one of
the  few   remaining  sites  in   Florida  where  gulf-front
properties   can  be  purchased  at  relatively  inexpensive
prices,  and the  Tarpon  Springs area  does  have a  strong
retirement community.  A market does exist for Pointe Alexis
lots,  albeit  at   significantly  discounted  prices   from
historical levels. 

During  the quarter  ended June 30,  1996, at  Pointe Alexis
South,  Fairfield recorded  0 lot  sales and 0  lot closings
compared  to 0  lot  sales and  0  lot closings  during  the
quarter  ended  June 30,  1995.   Total  revenues  at Pointe
Alexis South  during the first  quarter ended June  30, 1996
totaled $0  compared to  $0 during the  first quarter  ended
June 30, 1995.  

Harbour Watch  shares the same location  and access problems
as   Pointe  Alexis   South,  but  has   superior  marketing
characteristics and  Collateral value.   Harbour Watch  is a
gated  community   with   card-controlled  access.      From
inception, it has  been operated as  a lot sale  development
with no home building  operations conducted by Fairfield (in
contrast  to Pointe  Alexis  South).   Lot prices  generally
range from $50,000 for interior lots to $170,000 or more for
water-front  lots with  docks.   The master  plan calls  for
sales of 180 lots.  As  of June 30, 1996, 117 lots  had been
sold  and closed,  and  63  were  developed with  roads  and
available for sale.   Of  the 63 remaining  lots, the  First
National Bank  of Boston has a  first lien on 14  lots.  The  
aggregate release price on the lots pledged as Collateral to
the Noteholders  is $1,784,718 although the  current lack of
sales activity may require sales at materially lower levels. <PAGE>
 


- -----------------------------------------------------------

During the  quarter ended June  30, 1996, at  Harbour Watch,
Fairfield recorded 0 lot sales  and 0 lot closings, compared
to 1 lot  sale and 0 lot  closings during the  quarter ended
June 30, 1995.   Total revenues at Harbour Watch  during the
quarter  ended June 30, 1996  were $0 compared  to $0 during
the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

Many of  the homes which have been built are quite large and
expensive,  particularly  some  of  the  water-front  homes.
There  is  an ongoing  sales effort  in  place with  a sales
trailer  at  the entrance  to  the  community.   During  the
quarter ending  June 30,  1996, construction of  several new
homes  continued,  maintaining   the  community's   positive
ambiance   of  ongoing  activity.     Since  completing  the
development of the water-front  property, 3 water-front lots
have been sold.  As of the date of this report, there were 9
water-front lots available for sale at Harbour Watch with an
aggregate release price of $656,028.

Pointe  Alexis South  and  Harbour  Watch  collectively  had
monthly  cash  operating expenses  of  approximately $47,099
during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, which, together with
closing costs and  commissions, may be funded out  of excess
sale  proceeds  (the sale  price that  is  in excess  of the
release price). 

As mentioned above, no sales activity was recorded at Pointe
Alexis  South  or  Harbour  Watch  during  the  most  recent
quarter.    Based upon  the lack  of  sales activity,  it is
extremely unlikely that the  lots will be sold prior  to the
Scheduled Maturity Date of the Notes as of March 1, 1997 (as
defined  in the  Indenture to  the  Notes).   Depending upon
certain determining events  on the Scheduled Maturity  Date,
as outlined in the Indenture, an auction sales format may be
required  in  order  to  quickly  liquidate   the  remaining
properties.  On  an interim  basis, and in  response to  the
slow sales  activity, Fairfield has  engaged Caldwell Banker
to assume control of the sales effort.

As the  Ombudsman, Houlihan  Lokey will continue  to monitor
the spread between  the sales prices and release  prices and
its relationship with operating expenses and  closing costs.
At its discretion, Houlihan  Lokey can instruct Fairfield to
increase  (up to the levels in the March 31, 1989 Indenture)
or decrease release prices as appropriate.<PAGE>



HARBOUR RIDGE
- -----------------------------------------------------------

Harbour  Ridge is a  for-sale luxury  recreational community
located on a beautiful  stretch of land fronting on  the St.
Lucie River approximately one hour  from the West Palm Beach
Airport  in  Stuart,  Florida.     The  Collateral  interest
entitles Noteholders to 35.5  percent of the net partnership
cash  flow.  The project is a high-end luxury community with
a  strong  seasonal  element,   as  opposed  to   year-round
residence, with  prices ranging from  approximately $175,000
to  approximately $1 million.  Primary emphasis is on a golf
and  clubhouse  lifestyle,  with  a  secondary  emphasis  on
boating. 

The  managing general  partner of  Harbour Ridge  is Harbour
Ridge,  Inc.,   the  principals  of  which   have  years  of
experience  and  success  in  the business.  The  homes  are
attractively designed and appear  well built and the project
well  planned   and  executed.     The  clubhouse   also  is
attractively designed and is surrounded by two golf courses,
one designed by Joe Lee and the other by Pete Dye.

During  the quarter ending June  30, 1996, 1  unit was sold,
leaving approximately 3  more units to be sold.   A total of
693 units have been sold since the inception of the project.

The  Noteholders  received a  distribution  of approximately
$176,450 from  Harbour Ridge during the  quarter ending June
30, 1996.   Current projections indicate  that an additional
$.1 to $.3 million of cash flow  should be generated for the
Noteholders, depending upon, among other things, final sales
proceeds and  a variety  of potential costs  associated with
transferring  project  control  to  the  Harbour  Ridge home
owners  association.<PAGE>

SUGAR ISLAND
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Sugar  Island Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed
during 1984  to purchase  approximately 4,091 acres  of land
located  on the island of St. Croix, Territory of the Virgin
Islands of the United States.   The managing general partner
is Delray Land, Inc.  ("Delray").  The Partnership  paid $10
million for the property.  At  the time of the purchase, the
property was undeveloped  except for  the 166-acre  Fountain
Valley Golf Course (renamed Carambola Golf Club) designed by
Robert Trent Jones.  Fairfield's interest in the Partnership
entitles it to 30% of the total net cash flow distributed.

To  date, the Partnership has sold 883 acres of the property
in two separate transactions.   During 1986, the Partnership
sold 855 acres of the inland property to Danested Associates
("Danested")  for  an  aggregate  purchase  price  of  $10.7
million.   Danested  has developed  condominiums and  vacant
lots  designated for  single-family homes  on the  property.
Also during 1986, the Partnership  sold 28.5 acres of water-
front land to the Davis Beach Company for approximately $2.5
million for use in the development of the 157-unit Carambola
Beach Resort (not included in the Collateral).  Danested had
entered  into an  option  to  purchase  approximately  1,069
additional acres of land  for $12.0 million, but  the option
expired  unexercised on March 31,  1991.  The  land that was
under option to Danested  is located in the central  part of
the  island.  It is mostly flat and easily developed but for
the most part  has no direct ocean views.  Danested also had
an  option to purchase  the Carambola  Golf Club  (the "Golf
Club") for  $7.5 million which expired  unexercised on March
31, 1993.

The  remaining parcel of 2,139 acres is arguably some of the
most   beautiful  land  on  St.  Croix.     The  terrain  is
mountainous and  covered with  dense foliage.   Most of  the
property has ocean views.  The coastal portions are set in a
series of  coves ideal  for development but  currently there
are  no significant  natural beaches  and very  limited road
access.   Development of the property will  be difficult and
expensive,  limiting the  number of  potential buyers.   The
Partnership  has indicated  that it  is considering  selling
small sections of land or even individual lots, if possible.
The cost of  holding the  property is relatively  low.   The
Partnership leases  the land to local  farmers which results
in a 95% property tax exemption.  

The  Carambola Beach  Resort (the  "Resort") is  a five-star
development and was  completely rebuilt following  hurricane
Hugo  in  1990.   As  a  result  of  decreasing tourism  and
occupancy rates, however, the senior  Resort lenders decided
to  foreclose  on the  hotel  property and  shut  down hotel
operations  during June  1991.   The Resort  remained closed
until  an investment  group,  operating  through a  Radisson
Hotel  International  franchise  agreement,   purchased  the
property on June  8, 1993.  Subsequently,  the hotel changed  
franchises and now operates under a Westin Resorts name. 

On September 15, 1995, St. Croix was devastated by hurricane
Marilyn, causing  over $50 million of damage  to the Island.
Although the Resort sustained  the loss of its entire  beach
system and damage to certain  main structures, it managed to
resume full operations  by early  December.   The Golf  Club
also  sustained  damage with  several  trees uprooted,  sand
traps washed-out and minor structural damage incurred to the
club house, but  was closed  for only about  30 days  during
repairs.

Fortunately, Delray  reserved sufficient funds  to cover the
insurance deductible.  Going forward, it is unclear how much
insurance rates will  increase or if any  carriers will even
insure the Golf Club. <PAGE>

Prior  to the hurricane, increased play at the Golf Club had
netted   annualized  cash   flow  to   the  Partnership   of
approximately $200,000. As  a  result of the  shutdown   and
other increased costs, it is  unlikely  that  the  Golf Club   
will generate any  cash flow during 1996. 

From  a Collateral  value perspective,  Sugar  Island should
generate  cash  flow  for  the  Noteholders,   although  the
magnitude and the time  frame over which the cash  flow will
be realized are difficult to determine.  The Golf Club could
be sold (or leased on a long-term basis) within the next one
or two  years, but the  undeveloped land acreage  could take
several years to sell.<PAGE>



BALD MOUNTAIN GOLF COURSE
- -----------------------------------------------------------


The Bald Mountain  Golf Course  is one of  two golf  courses
located at the Fairfield Mountains development in Rutherford
County, North Carolina.   The  18-hole, par  72, 6,689  yard
Bald  Mountain Golf Course was designed  by William B. Lewis
and sits on approximately 115 acres, with Bermuda grass tees
and  fairways, bent grass greens, 28 sand traps and 10 water
hazards.   The Bald Mountain Golf Course is located behind a
gated entrance  and  attracts almost  exclusively  Fairfield
residents and timeshare owners.

On February  9, 1993,  Fairfield completed  the sale  of the
Bald  Mountain  Golf  Course  to   the  Fairfield  Mountains
Development Property Owners Association (the "Mountain POA")
for net cash proceeds of $1,787,519.74.

In addition to the sale  proceeds, the Mountain POA withdrew
various claims alleging its rights to golf course ownership.<PAGE>



HARBOUR GOLF COURSE
- -----------------------------------------------------------


The Harbour Golf Course  is one of two golf  courses located
at  the Fairfield  Harbour  development in  New Bern,  North
Carolina.   The  18-hole,  par 72,  6,600-yard Harbour  Golf
Course was  designed by Dominic  Palumbo and  is located  on
approximately  188  acres with  narrow  sloping  fairways, a
site-wide  canal system,  77 sand  traps and  3 lakes.   The
course does not allow access to the general public.

On October  8, 1993,  Fairfield  completed the  sale of  the
Harbour  Golf  Course  to  the  Fairfield  Harbour  Property
Owners'  Association for net cash proceeds of $1,947,948.26.
Subsequently,   an  additional   $22,800  was   received  in
connection with  the release  of certain contingent  closing
costs. <PAGE>
