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 reporting 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 nine months ended March 31, 1994 was not 
material; however, the cumulative effect of the change increased net income 
by $1,173,000 or $1.74 per share.

REAL ESTATE

     Revenues increased $180.  Due to the unusually harsh winter,
utility and snow removal costs increased $213; there were no other
significant variations in any expense category.


HOTEL

     There was a $172 decrease in revenues, and hotel earnings
decreased $376 due substantially to the lower revenues, and $101 of
additional fees paid to the management company that oversees the
operations of the hotel in connection with the renewal of the
existing  management contract.


SEAFOOD

     Revenues decreased $772 primarily in the sale of shrimp. 
Sales of shrimp produced in Ecuador decreased approximately $1,700
and were offset by the importation of shrimp from Costa Rica of
approximately $1,000 which were marginally profitable.  Earnings
decreased $1,351 for the entire seafood division due primarily to
reduced revenues attributable to Ecuador.

TEXTILES

     Hanora Spinning's earnings increased $348 to $713 for the nine
months due to higher revenues and operating margins.  Hanora South
and J & M Dyers incurred combined losses of $415 as compared to
losses in the comparable period last year of $673.  Whitlock
Combing, which sold its equipment and substantially ceased
operations in June 1992, incurred a loss of $485 in the current
period as compared to a loss of $950 last year.  Overall, textile
revenues increased $578.


CORPORATE

     Corporate losses decreased $2,427 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
attributable to losses incurred in the prior period by a seafood
company in which the Company has a 50% equity investment as
compared to a break even level of operations in the current period.

REAL ESTATE

     Revenues decreased $72.  Utility and snow removal costs
increased $193; repairs and maintenance costs increased $165.


HOTEL

     Hotel earnings decreased $198, due to an approximately 10
percent decrease in revenues, and $101 of additional management
fees.


SEAFOOD

     Earnings decreased $450 primarily due to losses from shrimp
operations in Ecuador.


TEXTILES

     Hanora Spinning's earnings increased $5.  Hanora South and
J & M Dyers incurred combined losses of $32 as compared to last
year's losses of $105.  Losses are continuing in these operations
as a result of the loss of their major customer in fiscal 1990. 
Whitlock Combing had a $67 decrease in losses due mainly to the
closing of the wool combing plant last year.


CORPORATE

     Corporate losses decreased $228, due primarily to a gain of
approximately $300 recognized as a result of gains by the nursing
homes in which the Company has a 50% equity investment.
