 Note  1  -  Basis  of  Preparation
 ----------------------------------

The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of Form 10-QSB.  In the opinion of Management, the statements
reflect  all  adjustments  necessary  for  a  fair statement of the results of
operations  for  the  interim  periods.    Certain  items  in  the fiscal 1996
financial  statements  have  been  reclassified  to conform to the fiscal 1997
manner  of  presentation.    The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts  of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries.
All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and  profits  have  been eliminated.

Note  2  -    Business  Acquisitions
- ------------------------------------

On August 4, 1995, NBI, Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
the  Belle Vernon Motel Corporation for $2,430,000 in cash pursuant to a stock
purchase  agreement.   The Belle Vernon Motel Corporation owns and operates an
81  room Holiday Inn in Southwestern Pennsylvania.  The primary assets held by
the  acquired  corporation  consist of cash, accounts receivable, property and
equipment.    The  Company  received  approval  as  an  authorized Holiday Inn
franchisee  prior  to  the  purchase  transaction.  The property and equipment
acquired continues to be operated as a Holiday Inn Hotel.  During fiscal 1996,
the  Company  changed  the  name  of the Belle Vernon Motel Corporation to NBI
Properties,  Inc.

On  August  14,  1995, with an effective date of close of business on July 31,
1995,  American  Glass,  Inc., a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of NBI,
Inc.,  completed  its purchase of a majority of the assets of L.E. Smith Glass
Company  of  Mount  Pleasant,  Pennsylvania, pursuant to an asset purchase and
sale  agreement.   L.E. Smith Glass Company is a manufacturer of handmade fine
glass giftware and lighting fixtures and has been in business since 1907.  The
assets  purchased  consist  primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, and
property,  plant  and  equipment.   The property, plant and equipment acquired
continues  to  be  used in the manufacture of handmade fine glass giftware and
lighting  fixtures.   The final adjusted purchase price of $5,770,000 was paid
through  the assumption of $3,449,000 of certain liabilities at July 31, 1995,
cash,  and  cash proceeds from the liquidation of other current assets held by
the  Company.

Both  acquisitions  have  been  accounted  for  under  the  purchase method of
accounting.   The results of operations of these acquired businesses have been
included  in  the  accompanying  Statements  of Operations since the effective
dates  of  acquisition.


Note  3  -  Discontinued  Operations
- ------------------------------------

As  of  August 27, 1996, the Company has discontinued all of its operations in
the  computer  industry  segment.    Therefore, it has separately reported the
losses  from  this  segment  as  discontinued operations for the three and six
months  ended  December 31, 1995.  At June 30, 1996, the Company estimated the
net  realizable  value of the sale or disposal of the discontinued operations,
including  estimated  costs and expenses directly associated with the disposal
and  estimated  losses from operations through the expected disposal date, and
expects  a  moderate overall gain from the discontinued operations.  This gain
will  be  recognized  when  it  is  realized.

There  were  no revenues and $395,000 of revenues from discontinued operations
for  the three and six months ended December 31, 1996, respectively.  Revenues
from  the  discontinued operations totaled $249,000 and $324,000 for the three
and  six  months  ended  December  31,  1995,  respectively.

Note  4  -  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents
- ----------------------------------------

Cash  and cash equivalents include investments that are readily convertible to
known  amounts  of  cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
The  Company  places  its  cash  and temporary cash investments with financial
institutions.    At  times,  such  investments  may  be in excess of federally
insured  limits.


Note  5  -  Investments  in  Securities  and  Obligations  from  Short-Sale
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transactions
- ------------

During  the  three and six months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, all of the
Company's securities were classified as trading securities; no securities were
classified  as  held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.  For the quarter ended
December  31,  1996, the Company recorded net realized and unrealized gains of
$132,000  and  $146,000  respectively,  compared  to  a  net  realized loss of
$225,000  and  a  net  unrealized  gain of $263,000 in the same quarter of the
prior  fiscal  year. The Company recorded net realized and unrealized gains of
$61,000 and $110,000 respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 1996,
compared to a net realized and unrealized gains of $602,000 and $79,000 in the
same  period  of  the  prior  fiscal  year.   The substantial realized gain on
investments  included  in  the  six  months  ended  December 31, 1995 occurred
primarily  because the Company sold a significant portion of its securities to
fund  its  two  business  acquisitions.

As  part  of  its  investment policies, the Company's investment portfolio may
include  option  instruments and may include a concentrated position in one or
more  securities.    As  a result of this, the financial results may fluctuate
significantly  and  have  larger  fluctuations  than  with  a more diversified
portfolio.   In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading  securities.    Short-sales  can  result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses  can  be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of  the  securities  subsequently  increase.


Note  6  -  Inventories
- -----------------------

Inventories  are  comprised  of  the  following:

Note  8  -  Income  Taxes
- -------------------------

IRS  Debt:
- ----------

On  October  13, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement in principle with
the IRS, effective October 1, 1995, revising the payment terms provided in its
settlement  agreement  with  the  IRS  dated June 12, 1991.  The new agreement
provided  for  a  principal payment of $250,000, plus accrued interest for the
period  July  1, 1995 through September 30, 1995, at the original stated rate,
and accrued interest for the period October 1, 1995 through December 31, 1995,
at the rate of 7.5% per annum, which was paid upon execution of the definitive
agreement  on  March  19, 1996.  Subsequently, quarterly interest payments are
due  beginning  April  1, 1996 through October 1, 1997.  Interest was paid and
accrued  on  the  outstanding  principal  balance  at the rate of 7.5% for the
period October 1, 1995 through March 31, 1996.  The interest rate for April 1,
1996  through  October  1,  1997  is  being negotiated, under the terms of the
agreement, based upon NBI's ability to pay the statutory rate, but in no event
will the interest rate for this period exceed the lesser of the statutory rate
or  10%.   The Company is paying interest on the scheduled payment dates based
upon  the  rate  of 7.5% for this period until the negotiations are finalized.
The  remaining  principal balance of $5.3 million is due in full on October 1,
1997  and  is  included  in  the  current  portion  of  the  IRS  debt.

In  order  to pay such amount, management intends to obtain additional debt or
equity  financing.    The  Company  is currently researching various financing
options; however there can be no assurances the Company will be able to obtain
such  financing.    The  Company's  ability  to continue as a going-concern is
dependent  upon attainment of financing sufficient to payoff the IRS debt when
due.

In  conjunction with the new agreement, the Company granted the IRS a security
interest  in  all of the capital stock of American Glass, Inc., as well as all
of  the  capital  stock  of  NBI  Properties, Inc.  The security interest will
automatically terminate upon full payment by NBI of all principal and interest
owed  to  the  IRS  under  the  agreement.    The  agreement also provides for
accelerated principal payments to be made within forty-five days after the end
of  any  fiscal  quarter  in  which  NBI,  Inc.'s unconsolidated cash and cash
equivalents,  excluding  restricted cash, exceed $1.3 million.  The Company is
required  to pay to the IRS fifty percent of the amount by which such cash and
cash  equivalents  exceed  $1.3 million.  Any such payment shall be applied to
and  shall  reduce  the  outstanding  principal  balance.

                                   NBI, INC.
            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



There  is  no  accelerated  principal  amount  payable  in accordance with the
revised  agreement  based  upon  the  Company's  cash  and cash equivalents at
December  31, 1996.  Furthermore, any other accelerated principal payments due
under  the  new agreement within the next twelve months, based upon subsequent
quarter-end  cash  and  cash  equivalent  positions,  are  not determinable at
December  31,  1996.

Income  tax  provision:
- -----------------------

For  the three and six months ended December 31, 1996, the Company recorded an
income  tax  benefit  of  $9,000  and  an  income  tax  provision of $101,000,
respectively,  including state provisions.  These amounts were based upon book
income  for  states where the Company has no net operating loss carryforwards,
and  taxable  income for federal purposes and for states where the Company has
the availability of  pre-reorganization net operating loss carryforwards.  Due
to  significant temporary differences  related  mainly  to  bad  debt  reserve
recoveries  and  unrealized  investment gains, the Company's estimated taxable
income  as  of  December  31,  1996  was  significantly less than book income.

In  accordance  with fresh start accounting, which was adopted as of April 30,
1992,  and as a result of the Company's reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code,  utilization  of  any  income  tax  benefit  from
pre-reorganization  net  operating  losses  are not credited to the income tax
provision,  but  rather,  reported  as an addition to capital in excess of par
value.  Included in the income tax benefit and provision for the three and six
months  ended December 31, 1996, respectively, is a non-cash credit of $30,000
and  a  non-cash charge of $25,000 related to the utilization of the Company's
pre-reorganization  net  operating  loss  carryforwards.

Provisions  for  income  taxes  from  continuing  operations  of  $39,000  and
$331,000,  including  state income tax provisions, were recorded for the three
and  six months ended December 31, 1995.  The income tax provisions were based
upon  book  income  and  included  non-cash charges for the utilization of the
Company's  pre-reorganization net operating losses of $54,000 and $183,000 for
the  quarter  and  six  months  ended  December  31,  1995,  respectively.


 Note  9  -  Hotel  Improvements  and  Other  Commitments
 --------------------------------------------------------

The  Company's  hotel  operation  has  completed  $886,000  of  approximately
$1,000,000  in planned renovations to the hotel as of December 31, 1996.  This
amount  is  included  in construction in progress.  The remaining improvements
are  expected  to  be  finished  in  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1997.

On  December 3, 1996, the Company obtained a $1,000,000 bank mortgage, under a
construction  and  term  loan  agreement,  to  fund these improvements.  As of
December 31, 1996, $838,000 had been advanced, of which $10,000 is included in
current  portion  of  notes payable.  Advances under the note bear interest at
the  bank's  "Basic Rate" (8.25% at December 31, 1996) plus 1% payable monthly
until  July  1,  1997,  at  which  time  all improvements are to be completed.
Principal  and  interest  at  8.85% is then payable in monthly installments of
$9,000.00.    After  five years, the interest rate changes to the five year US
Treasury  rate  plus  2.7%.    The  note  is  due in full July 1, 2007, and is
collateralized  by a first security interest in the Company's hotel subsidiary
assets.


Note  10  -  Stockholders'  Equity
- ----------------------------------

The  Company  has authorized 20,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.
At  December  31, 1996, 10,001,270 shares were issued including 2,000,286 held
in  treasury.      Therefore,  the  Company  had  8,000,984  shares issued and
outstanding  at  December  31,  1996,  including  1,500,000  shares  which are

            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)



In  March 1996, the Company issued 1,500,000 unregistered shares of its common
stock from shares held in treasury through a private placement stock offering.
The  offering  resulted  in  net  proceeds  of  $1,047,000  which  was

used  by  the  Company  first  to  pay obligations due to the IRS and then for
operating  capital  of  the  Company.    Holders of at least 50% of the shares
issued  have  the right to demand registration of the shares after December 1,
1996.  Holders also have the right to have their shares registered at any time
the  Company  registers  shares  for  its own purpose until December 31, 1999.

In  February  1995, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1.7 million shares
of  its  common  stock  at  $.89 per share in conjunction with an acquisition.
These  warrants are exercisable through December 31, 2002.  As of December 31,
1996,  no  warrants  had  been  exercised.


Note  11  -  Seasonal  Variations  of  Operations
- -------------------------------------------------

All of the Company's ongoing operations typically have their strongest revenue
performance  during  the  first  fiscal  quarter due to seasonal variations in
these  businesses.  Generally, the second and fourth fiscal quarters' revenues
from  these  operations  are moderately lower than in the first quarter, while
the  third  fiscal  quarter's  revenue is usually significantly lower then the
other  quarters.


Note  12  -  Other  Income  and  Expenses
- -----------------------------------------

Included  in other income and expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 1996
is  income  of  $348,000, net of legal fees, related to the recovery of a note
receivable  that the Company had previously reserved for.  The full settlement
amount  of $370,000 was received subsequent to quarter-end and was included in
other  current  assets  at  December  31,  1996.

Also  included  in  other  income  and expenses for the quarter and six months
ended  December  31, 1996 were expenses of $86,000 and $126,000, respectively,
for  architect fees related to hotel improvement projects that the Company has
decided  not  to  pursue.


Note  13  -  Subsequent  Events
- -------------------------------

In  January  1997, the Company exercised its purchase option for $1 million on
approximately  88  acres  of  undeveloped  land  located  in  southwestern
Pennsylvania.    The  purchase  was  funded by cash and cash equivalents.  The
Company  plans  to  pursue  commercial  development  of  the  property.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        SECOND QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 1997


The  statements in this discussion contain both historical and forward-looking
statements.    The  forward-looking  statements  are  based  upon  current
expectations  and  the  actual  results  could  differ  materially  from those
anticipated.  Factors that may affect such forward-looking statements include,
among  others,  competitive factors and pricing pressures, loss of significant
customers,  availability of raw materials, labor disputes, investment results,
ability  to  obtain  financing,  adequacy of insurance coverage, inflation and
general  economic  conditions.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Revenues from continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal year 1997
increased  $440,000, or 13.9%, to $3.6 million from $3.2 million in the second
quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Year-to-date, revenues totaled $7.3 million
for  the  six  months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of $1.4 million, or
23.7%,  as  compared  to  the  same  period  of  fiscal  1996.

Sales  revenue  of  $3.2  million  for  the  quarter  ended  December 31, 1996
increased  $550,000,  or 20.7%, from the same period of the prior fiscal year.
For  the  six  months  ended  December  31,  1996,  sales revenue totaled $6.4
million,  an increase of $1.3 million, or 25.1% compared to the same period in
fiscal  1996.    The  sales  revenue  growth was primarily related to expanded
market  penetration by the glass company resulting from its increased focus on
the  smaller  individually-owned  stores.     In  addition,  the glass company
completed and shipped a significant order from a major customer for a new item
that  was back ordered at September 30, 1996.  Year-to-date, the sales revenue
also included an increase resulting from the inclusion of a full six months of
revenue  from  the  L.E.  Smith  Glass  Company during the fiscal period ended
December  31,  1996,  compared  to revenues for the period August 1, 1995, its
acquisition  date,  through  December  31, 1995 included in the same period of
fiscal  1996.

Service and rental revenue totaled $397,000 and $991,000 for the three and six
months  ended  December  31,  1996,  respectively, as compared to $507,000 and
$857,000  for the same periods in fiscal 1996.  The decline in revenues during
the  second  quarter  of  fiscal 1997 compared to fiscal 1996, resulted from a
reduction in available rooms at the Belle Vernon Holiday Inn during the second
quarter  of  fiscal  1997 due to the hotel renovation activity.  The increased
revenues year-to-date resulted primarily from the inclusion of six full months
of  revenue  from the Belle Vernon Holiday Inn during fiscal 1997, compared to
revenues for the period August 4, 1995, its acquisition date, through December
31,  1995  included  in  the  same  period  of  fiscal  1996.

Total  revenues from continuing operations are expected to increase moderately
for  the  three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period in
the  prior fiscal year, primarily due to increased sales efforts for the glass
manufacturing  company,  partially  offset  by an expected decline in revenues
from  the  hotel,  as  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal 1996 included increased
occupancy  rates  related  to bookings from flood assistance organizations and
inclement  weather  activity.  Total  revenues for the third quarter of fiscal
1997  are expected to decrease significantly compared to the second quarter of
fiscal  1997,  as seasonal variations cause the third fiscal quarter to be the
lowest  revenue  quarter  for all operations and, as previously discussed, the
second  quarter  included  a  large sale of a new item from the glass company.

Cost of sales, service and rental was $2.5 million, or 70.7% of total revenue,
and  $5.0  million,  or  68.3%  of total revenue, for the three and six months
ended  December  31,  1996,  respectively.    Comparable  figures for the same
periods  in fiscal 1996 were $2.3 million and $4.2 million, or 72.1% and 71.0%
of  total  revenues,  respectively.

Cost  of  sales  as a percentage of sales revenue for the three and six months
ended  December  31, 1996 was 68.8% and 67.6%, respectively, compared to 72.0%
and  71.1%  for the same periods in fiscal 1996.  The resulting improved gross
margin  was  primarily related to the increased revenue volume.  Fiscal 1997's
year-to-date  gross  margin  on  sales also reflected an improvement due to an
overstatement  of cost of goods sold of $99,000 in the first quarter of fiscal
1996,  which  was  corrected  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  fiscal  1996.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  SECOND QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 1997 - CONTINUED


Cost  of  service  as a percentage of service and rental revenue was 86.1% and
72.4%  for  the  three  and  six months ended December 31, 1996, respectively,
compared  to  72.6%  and  70.0% for the same periods in the prior fiscal year,
respectively.    The  related decline in gross margin was due to the decreased
revenue  volume,  resulting  from  the  hotel  renovation  project,  without a
corresponding  decrease  in costs as the costs include a significant amount of
fixed  expenses.

Cost  of  sales,  service  and rental as a percentage of total revenue for the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 is expected to increase modestly, compared to the
third  quarter  of  fiscal  1996,  primarily  because  the  glass  company had
favorable  production  rates  and sales mix during the third quarter of fiscal
1996.    This increase is also related to the expected decline in revenue from
the  hotel  operations  available  to  cover  its fixed costs.  Cost of sales,
service  and  rental as a percentage of total revenue for the third quarter of
fiscal  1997  is  also  expected to increase moderately compared to the second
quarter  of  fiscal 1997 due to an expected decline in revenue volume from the
glass  and  hotel  operations  available  to  cover  fixed  costs.

Marketing,  general  and administrative expenses totaled $917,000 and $665,000
for  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  1996  and  1995,  respectively.
Year-to-date,  marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses totaled $1.7
million  for  the  six months ended December 31, 1996, an increase of $454,000
compared  to expenses of $1.2 million for the same period of fiscal 1996.  The
increased  expenses  were  primarily  related to increased sales and marketing
activities.    In addition, the second quarter of fiscal 1996 included $41,000
of  credits  related to certain reserve adjustments.  Year-to-date, marketing,
general and administrative expenses also increased due to the inclusion of the
glass manufacturing and hotel operations for a full six months in fiscal 1997,
while  these  operations  were  only  included  since their acquisition dates,
August  1, 1995 and August 4, 1995, respectively, in the same period of fiscal
1996.

Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  are  expected  to increase
moderately  for the three months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same
period  in  the  prior  fiscal  year, primarily due to the increased sales and
marketing activities.  However, marketing, general and administrative expenses
are  expected  to  decrease  moderately  in  the  third quarter of fiscal 1997
compared    to  the  second  quarter of fiscal 1997 primarily due to decreased
sales  commissions  resulting  from  the  lower  expected  revenues.

The Company recorded net gains on investments of $278,000 and $171,000 for the
three  and  six  months ended December 31, 1996, respectively, compared to net
gains  of  $38,000  and  $681,000  for  the  same  periods  in  fiscal  1996,
respectively.    The  substantial net realized gain on investments included in
the  six  months  ended  December 31, 1996 occurred because the Company sold a
majority  of its trading securities in order to fund the business acquisitions
competed  during that period.  As part of its investment policy, the Company's
investment  portfolio  may  include  investments in option instruments and may
include  a  concentrated  position  in one or more securities.  As a result of
this,  the  financial  results  may  fluctuate  significantly  and have larger
fluctuations than with a more diversified portfolio.  In addition, the Company
may  invest in short-sale transactions of trading securities.  Short-sales can
result  in  off-balance sheet risk, as losses can be incurred in excess of the
reported  obligation if market prices of the securities subsequently increase.

The  Company  recorded other income of $250,000 and $201,000 for the three and
six  months ended December 31, 1996, respectively, compared to other income of
$35,000  and  $57,000  for  the  same  periods  in the prior fiscal year.  The
increase resulted from the recovery of a note receivable in the second quarter
of  fiscal  1997  partially  offset by architectural expenses related to hotel
improvement  projects  that  the  Company  decided  not  to  pursue.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  SECOND QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 1997 - CONTINUED


The  Company  recorded  an  income  tax  benefit from continuing operations of
$9,000  for  the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and an income tax provision from
continuing  operations of $101,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996,
as compared to income tax provisions from continuing operations of $48,000 and
$373,000 for the same periods in fiscal 1996, respectively.  Included in these
amounts  are  state  provisions  of  $32,000 and $98,000 for the three and six
months  ended  December 31, 1996, respectively, compared to $3,000 and $99,000
for  the  same  periods  in  fiscal  1996, respectively.  The state income tax
provisions  related  to  the  Company's Pennsylvania operations are based upon
book  income,  as  NBI  does  not  have  any  net operating loss carryforwards
available  in  Pennsylvania.    The  Company does have significant federal net
operating  loss  carryforwards,  as  well  as  significant  net operating loss
carryforwards in several states, and, therefore, has no federal or other state
income taxes payable.  However, in accordance with fresh start accounting, the
income  tax benefit and provisions recorded do include non-cash charges to the
extent  that  the  Company expects to use its pre-reorganization net operating
loss  carryforwards.   These charges are reported as an addition to capital in
excess of par value, rather than as a credit through the income tax provision.
The  Company expects its taxable income to be significantly less than its book
income  in  fiscal  1997,  due  to significant temporary differences primarily
related  to  bad  debt  reserve  recoveries  and  unrealized investment gains,
resulting  in lower non-cash charges to the income tax provision during fiscal
1997.   The Company recorded a non-cash credit of $9,000 and a non-cash charge
of  $25,000  for the three and six months ended December 31, 1996, as compared
to  non-cash charges of $54,000 and $183,000 for the same periods of the prior
fiscal  year,  respectively.

As  of  August 27, 1996, the Company has discontinued all of its operations in
the  computer  industry  segment.    Therefore, it has separately reported the
losses  from  this segment of $23,000 and $86,000 for the three and six months
ended  December  31,  1995, respectively, as discontinued operations.  At June
30,  1996,  the  Company  estimated  the  net  realizable value of the sale or
disposal  of  the  discontinued  operations,  including  estimated  costs  and
expenses  directly  associated  with  the  disposal  and estimated losses from
operations  through the expected disposal date, and expects a moderate overall
gain  from  the discontinued operations.  This gain will be recognized when it
is  realized.

FINANCIAL  CONDITION,  LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

The Company's total assets increased $1.1 million to $11.3 million at December
31,  1996  from  $10.2  million  at June 30, 1996.  The increase was primarily
related to net income of $611,000 recognized for the six months ended December
31,  1996,  as  well  an  increase in hotel property and equipment funded by a
mortgage  note  payable.    The  Company  had negative working capital of $3.3
million  at  December 31, 1996, compared to working capital of $1.5 million at
June  30,  1996.  The decline of $4.8 million in working capital was primarily
related  to  the reclassification of the IRS debt to current during the second
quarter  of  fiscal  1997.

The  entire  outstanding  principal  balance  on the IRS debt of $5,278,000 at
December  31,  1996  is due in full on October 1, 1997 and was reclassified to
current liabilities during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  In order to pay
such  amount,  the  Company  will  need  to  obtain  additional debt or equity
financing.    The  Company is currently researching various financing options;
however,  there  can  be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain
such financing or that if it is able to obtain such financing, that it will be
on  favorable  terms.  The Company's ability to continue as a going-concern is
dependent  upon attainment of financing sufficient to payoff the IRS debt when
due.

The  Company's  hotel  operation  has committed to completion of approximately
$1,000,000  in renovations to the hotel during fiscal 1997.  During the second
quarter  of  fiscal  1997,  the Company completed a substantial portion of the
renovations.    In  addition,  the Company was successful in attaining a first
mortgage  on  the hotel subsidiary's assets during the second quarter to cover
these  renovations.

The  Company expects its other working capital requirements in the next fiscal
year  to  be  met by existing working capital at December 31, 1996, internally
generated  funds  and  short-term borrowings under an existing line of credit.
