                                   (Unaudited)

1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is
suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31,
1998. The balance sheet as of December 31, 1998 was derived from audited
financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.


2. GAIN ON SALES OF REAL ESTATE
             In March 1999, The Grove Towne Center-Texas, Ltd. sold
approximately 2.3 acres of vacant land located in Houston, Texas for
approximately $557,000. The Company recognized a net gain of approximately
$199,000.

             In June 1999, The Grove Towne Center-Texas, Ltd. sold approximately
 .8 acres of vacant land located in Houston, Texas for approximately $350,000.
The Company recognized a net gain of approximately $168,000.

             In August 1999, The Grove Towne Center-Texas, Ltd. sold
approximately 1.2 acres of vacant land located in Houston, Texas for

$26,000.

3. INVESTMENTS IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES
             Investments in marketable securities are composed primarily of
corporate equity securities. These securities are classified as
available-for-sale and carried at fair value, based on quoted market prices. The
net unrealized gains or losses on these investments are reported as a separate
component of stockholders' equity. Gross unrealized gains on available-for-sale
securities as of September 30, 1999 were approximately $1,100,000. Gross
unrealized losses as of September 30, 1999 were approximately $237,000.

             Gross gains on sales of marketable securities of approximately
$942,000 and $1,174,000 were realized during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999, respectively. Gross losses of approximately $2,000 and
$7,000 were realized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
respectively. Gross gains and losses are based on the average cost method of
determining cost.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          The Company reported net income of approximately $4,034,000 (or $3.67
per share) and $2,999,000 (or $2.73 per share) for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, respectively. This is as compared with net losses of
approximately $650,000 (or $.59 per share) and $202,000 (or $.18 per share) for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. Total revenues
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared with the
same periods in 1998, increased by approximately $4,257,000 (or 619%) and
$4,353,000 (or 199%), respectively. Total expenses for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999, as compared with the same periods in 1998, decreased
by approximately $151,000 (or 11%) and increased $277,000 (or 7%), respectively.
Gain on sales of real estate for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 was approximately $277,000 and $644,000, respectively, as compared with
approximately $0 and $1,519,000 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1998, respectively.

REVENUES
           Rentals and related revenues for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1999 were approximately $409,000 and $1,249,000, respectively.
This is as compared with approximately $429,000 and $1,283,000, respectively,
for the same periods in 1998. These decreases of approximately $20,000 (or 5%)
and $34,000 (or 3%), respectively, for the three and nine month comparable
periods were not significant.

          Marina revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999
were approximately $115,000 and $389,000, respectively. This is as compared with
approximately $118,000 and $383,000, respectively, for the same periods in 1998.
These fluctuations between the comparable periods in 1999 and 1998 were not
significant.

          Net gain from the sale of marketable securities for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999 was approximately $940,000 and $1,167,000,
respectively. This is as compared with approximately $71,000 and $274,000 for
the same comparable periods in 1998. These increases of approximately $869,000
(or 1,218%) and $893,000 (or 326%), respectively, for the three and nine month
comparable periods were primarily the result of the sale of one security which
was distributed to the Company from one of its venture capital investments.

          Gain from unconsolidated investments for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 was approximately $41,000 and $185,000, respectively.
This is as compared with approximately $12,000 and $77,000, respectively, for
the same periods in 1998. These increases of approximately $29,000 (or 234%) and
$108,000 (or 139%) for the three and nine month comparable periods were
primarily attributable to increased gains from the Company's investment in
T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. as a result of increased interest income earned by T.G.I.F.

          Other income for the three and nine months ended September 30,1999 was
approximately $3,440,000 and $3,548,000, respectively. This is as compared with
approximately $58,000 and $167,000, respectively, for the same comparable
periods in 1998. These increases of approximately $3,382,000 and $3,381,000,
respectively for the three and nine month comparable periods were the result of
the collection of approximately $3,367,000 received pursuant to the previously
reported award from the litigation with two former directors of the Company.

Reference is made to Part II. Other Information, Item 1. Legal Proceedings for
further information regarding this award.


EXPENSES
          Operating expenses of rental properties and other for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999 were approximately $139,000 and $440,000
respectively. This is as compared with approximately $161,000 and $501,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 1998. These decreases of approximately
$22,000 (or 14%) and $61,000 (or 12%), respectively, for the three and nine
month comparable periods were primarily the result of lower insurance costs
relating to the Grove Isle property and lower real estate taxes relating to the
Grove Towne Center-Texas, Ltd. land.

           Marina related expenses for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1999 were approximately $94,000 and $331,000, respectively. This is as
compared with approximately $123,000 and $381,000, respectively, for the same
periods in 1998. These decrease of approximately $29,000 (or 23%) and $50,000
(or 13%), respectively, for the three and nine month comparable periods were
primarily attributable to lower operating costs due in part to the closing of
the marina store in March 1999.

          General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 were approximately $52,000 and $172,000, respectively.
This is as compared with approximately $80,000 and $321,000, respectively, for
the same periods in 1998. These decreases of approximately $28,000 (or 35%) and
$149,000 (or 46%), respectively, for the three and nine month comparable periods
were attributable to decreased general and administrative expenses of Courtland
Investments, Inc. primarily relating to decreased other taxes.

          Professional fees for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 were approximately $290,000 and $1,440,000, respectively. This is as
compared with approximately $306,000 and $757,000, respectively, for the same
periods in 1998. The increase of approximately $683,000 (or 90%) for the nine
month comparable periods was the result of increased legal fees relating to
ongoing litigation, as previously reported.

          Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1999 was approximately $221,000 and $673,000, respectively.
This is as compared with approximately $278,000 and $779,000, respectively, for
the same periods in 1998. These decreases of approximately $57,000 (or 21%) and
$106,000 (or 14%), respectively, for the three and nine month comparable periods
were primarily due to decreased depreciation of furniture and fixtures owned by
Grove Isle Club, Inc. ("GICI"). The majority of GICI's fixed assets have reached
their useful life and are fully depreciated.

          Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999 was approximately $211,000 and $598,000, respectively. This is as compared
with approximately $218,000 and $658,000, respectively, for the same periods in
1998. The decrease of approximately $60,000 (or 9%) for the nine month
comparable periods was primarily due to decreased interest expense from Grove
Isle Associates, Ltd. as the result of the refinancing of debt in September
1998, as previously reported.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
          The Company's material commitments primarily consist of maturities of
debt obligations. The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected
from the proceeds of sales of properties, refinancing, distributions from
investments and available cash. In addition, the Company intends to continue to
seek opportunities for investment in income producing properties.

MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF CASH FLOWS
          For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net cash provided by
investing activities was approximately $892,000. This was comprised primarily of
net proceeds from disposal of properties of approximately $1,315,000 and net
proceeds from the sales and redemptions of securities of approximately
$1,770,000. These increases were partially offset by uses of cash resulting from
increased investments in marketable securities of approximately $1,138,000 and
increased net contributions to investments of approximately $913,000.

          For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net cash provided by
financing activities was approximately $112,000. This consisted primarily of
additions to mortgages and notes payable of $575,000 less repayment of mortgages
payable of $461,000.

YEAR 2000

          Background
          In the past, many computer software programs were written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. As a result,
date-sensitive computer software may recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900 rather than the year 2000. This is generally referred to as the Year 2000
issue. If this situation occurs, the potential exists for computer system
failures or miscalculations by computer programs, which could disrupt
operations.

          State of Readiness, Costs and Risks
          The Company has completed the conversion of its computer system to use
4-digit year fields and is therefore believed to be "Year 2000" compliant. The
cost of such conversion was not material to the Company's financial condition or
results of operations, nor did the Company experience any material disruption in
its operations with respect thereto. The Company's computer system is small,
consisting of only nine personal computers connected via one local area network
server located in one facility. The Company utilizes its computer system to
perform accounting and word processing functions only. The Company has no other
operations which rely on computers or other equipment that would be affected by
the Year 2000 issue.

          The Company is exposed to the risk that one or more of its tenants
could experience Year 2000 problems that impact their ability to meet lease
obligations to the Company. To date, the Company is not aware of any tenant Year
2000 issue that would have a material adverse impact on the Company's
operations. The Company has received an interim status report from its primary
tenant at its Grove Isle property in Florida that this tenant is addressing its
Year 2000 readiness. The Company has no means of ensuring that this or any other
tenant will be Year 2000 ready. The inability of tenants to complete their Year
2000 resolution process in a timely fashion could have an adverse impact on the
Company. The effect of non-compliance by tenants is not determinable at this
time.

          The Company's Year 2000 risks are considered minimal and no continency
plans are believed to be necessary.

          Widespread disruptions in the national or international economy,
including disruptions affecting the financial markets, resulting from Year 2000
issues, or in certain industries, such as commercial or investment banks, could
also have an adverse impact on the Company. The likelihood and effect of such
disruptions is not determinable at this time


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
          As previously reported, HMG has been involved in litigation in the
Delaware Court of Chancery with two former directors of the Company, Norman A.
Fieber and Lee Gray. On July 12, 1999 the Court found that Fieber and Gray
breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and care and defrauded the Company.

          On August 31, 1999 the court issued a final order and judgement. The
monetary award to HMG is $4,538,294 of which Mr. Lee Gray and Mr. Norman Fieber
are joint and severally liable for $3,340,776. Mr. Gee Gray is also liable for
the balance of the award in the amount of $1,197,518.

          Of the total amount of the award, $3,340,776 (plus post judgement
interest of $35,071) was collected on September 20, 1999. On October 25, 1999 an
additional $483,682 (plus post judgment interest of $16,314) was collected. HMG
is continuing in its efforts to collect the remaining balance of $713,832(plus
post judgement interest) pursuant to the court's order.

Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

          (a) There were no reports on Form 8-K filed for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999. On October 8, 1999 the Company filed a report of Form 8-K
relating to the above-mentioned legal proceedings and the announcement that the
Company will invest up to $500,000 in HMG's common stock through stock
repurchases.
