                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                September 30,1997


BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

Federal Income Taxes

The Corporation has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust under
Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provisions have
been made for Federal income taxes in the financial statements.

PLAN OF DISPOSITION OF ASSETS AND LIQUIDATION

On June 28, 1988 the stockholders of the Corporation approved a Plan of
Disposition of Assets and Liquidation whereby all the remaining investments held
by the Corporation would be sold and the proceeds distributed to stockholders in
complete liquidation and dissolution of the Corporation.


INVESTMENT HELD FOR DISPOSITION

The investment held for disposition is a leasehold interest in the Canyon Resort
in Palm Springs, CA which was acquired by foreclosure in September 1988. Title
to the fee simple estate of the property, consisting of approximately 500 acres,
is vested as restricted Indian land through the United States Department of
Indian Affairs. The master ground lease expires in the year 2031. The
Corporation's leasehold interest in the property consists of a 173 room hotel
and convention center which has been closed since June,1987; an operating 18
hole public golf course; and subleases on approximately 550 homesites, an
apartment complex and a private golf course and country club. Due to the
Corporation's status as a trustee resulting from the foreclosure sale, the
Corporation is not currently paying ground rent under the Indian master lease.


ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Americana Corporation (the "Advisor") advises the Corporation with respect to
its investments and administers the day-to-day operations of the Corporation,
all subject to the general supervision of the Corporation's Board of Directors.

                     AMERICANA HOTELS AND REALTY CORPORATION
                               September 30, 1997

Item 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

a)        Liquidity and Capital Resources

          At September 30, 1997 the Corporation had $1,288,000 of cash
          and short-term investments.

          On April 14, 1997 the Corporation paid down the mortgage loan
          payable by $1,000,000 as a part of a three year extension of
          the maturity date to March 1, 2000.

          The Corporation believes it has adequate liquidity available
          for its foreseeable needs from resources on hand and cash
          generated by the investment held for disposition in Palm
          Springs, CA.

b)        Sale of Trademarks and License

          On September 30, 1997 the Corporation entered into an agreement
          with ATX, Inc. of Dallas, TX whereby the Corporation will form
          a new wholly owned subsidiary and sell the rights to the name
          "Americana" and all trademarks for consideration of $300,000
          and approximately 65,000 shares of the new corporation. ATX
          will invest $1,600,000 and will own approximately 70% of the
          stock of the new company. The Agreement anticipates a closing
          in January 1998 at which time the shares of the new company
          will be distributed to the Corporation's shareholders.

c)        Results of Operations

          The 1997 operating results incorporate the revenues and
          expenses from the foreclosed property in Palm Springs, CA,
          which are not included in the 1996 figures.

          Results for the third quarter of 1997 produced a loss of
          $160,000, compared to a loss of $137,000 in 1996. Results for
          the first nine months of 1997 was a loss of $95,000 compared to
          a loss of $31,000 for the first nine months of 1996.

          Interest income in 1997 was solely from short-term investments;
          while in 1996 interest income also included interest related to
          the JFK Airport Hilton mortgage loan which was sold on March
          27, 1996.

          Corporate expenses, unrelated to the foreclosed property,
          decreased 45% in the first nine months of 1997 compared to
          1996. There was a $165,000 decrease in the advisory fee due to
          a September, 1996 change in the advisory agreement. Directors'
          fees and deferred compensation plan expense were $64,000 lower
          in 1997 compared to 1996, due to a reduction in Director's fees
          and termination of the deferred compensation plan.

          The Corporation's foreclosed property is the leasehold interest
          in the Canyon Resort in Palm Springs, CA. The Corporation is
          seeking to dispose of this investment, but as of September 30,
          1997 has received no acceptable offer. The Corporation acquired
          the leasehold interest as a trustee resulting from a
          foreclosure sale in 1988. In its status as trustee, the
          Corporation has supervised the operations of the property,
          which consists of a 173 room hotel and convention center which
          have been closed since 1987, an operating public golf course,
          and subleases on approximately 550 homesites, an apartment
          complex and a private golf course and country club.

          The results of the operations of the foreclosed property for
          the first nine months of 1997 were as follows:

          Sublease rentals earned                              $693,000
          Golf course net receipts from manager                 (36,000)
          Other income and fees                                  44,000
                                                               --------
                                                                701,000

          Mortgage interest expense                             116,000
          Real estate taxes                                     125,000
          Legal, insurance and other expenses                   211,000
                                                               --------
                                                                452,000
                                                               --------

          Net income from foreclosed property                  $249,000
                                                               ========


          Most of the sublease rentals are fixed rents and those that are
          percentage rents are based upon results which are generally
          predictable, therefore sublease rentals are earned evenly
          throughout the year. The golf course operation is highly
          seasonal, with most of the revenue received during the winter
          months, and the operation running at a deficit during the rest
          of the year.
