The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993, the
consolidated statements of operations for the six-month periods ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash
flows for the six-month periods then ended have been prepared by the Company,
without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 1993 and for
all periods presented, have been made.

4.   CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  Under Statement 109, the liability method is
used in accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial report-
ing and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the
enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse.  Prior to the adoption of Statement 109, income tax
expense was determined using the deferred method.  Deferred tax expense was
based on items of income and expense that were reported in different years in
the financial statements and tax returns and were measured at the tax rate in
effect in the year the difference originated.

As permitted by Statement 109, the Company has elected not to restate the
financial statements of any prior years.  The effect of the change on pretax
income from operations for the six months ended December 31, 1993 was not
material; however, the cumulative effect of the change increased net income
by $1,173,000 or $1.74 per share.

                              (IN THOUSANDS)


REAL ESTATE

     Revenues increased $252.  There were no significant variations
in any expense category.


HOTEL

     There was a $140 decrease in revenues, and hotel earnings
decreased $178 as a result of the lower revenues.


SEAFOOD

     Revenues decreased $738 primarily in the sale of shrimp. 
Earnings decreased $901 for the entire seafood division due
primarily to reduced revenues from sales of shrimp which resulted
from declining shrimp production in Ecuador.

TEXTILES

     Hanora Spinning's earnings increased $344 to $390 for the six
months due to higher revenues and operating margins.  Hanora South
and J & M Dyers incurred combined losses of $383 as compared to
losses in the comparable period last year of $568.  Whitlock
Combing, which sold its equipment and substantially ceased
operations in June 1992, incurred a loss of $278 in the current
period as compared to a loss of $676 last year.  Overall, revenues
increased $455.


CORPORATE

     Corporate losses decreased $2,199 attributable primarily to i)
the termination of a royalty agreement with the purchaser of the
Towle Silversmiths assets in the current period which resulted in
$1,322 of income and ii) a loss of approximately $1,029 attributa-
ble to losses incurred in the prior period by a seafood company in
