REAL ESTATE
- -----------

     Revenues  increased  $439. A mortgage  obtained  January 1, 1995 on the
Jefferson  Bank Building in Miami Beach,  Florida  increased  mortgage  interest
expense by $158 and repairs and  maintenance  increased  by $182.  There were no
other significant variations in any expense category.


HOTEL
- -----

a result of the higher revenues and lower operating costs.


SEAFOOD
- -------

     Revenues  increased  $1,299 in the current period.  Earnings  decreased
$2,270 for the seafood division due primarily to the presence of "brown tide" at
our clam operation during the summer months which curtailed production, the lack
of availability of scallops for Lambert  Seafood  operations,  and a substantial
reduction in the sales price of shrimp resulting from a temporary  oversupply of
product worldwide.


TEXTILES
- --------

     Hanora  Spinning's  earnings  increased $171 to $287 for the six months
due to higher operating costs.  Hanora South and J & M Dyers recognized combined
losses of $200 compared to last years profit of $155 due  substantially to J & M
Dyers  completion  of a  substantial  contract  that  expired in December  1994.
Whitlock  Combing incurred a loss of $163 in the current period as compared to a
loss of $228 last year relating to its property in South Carolina which is being
offered for sale.  Overall,  textile  revenues  decreased  $1,013 due to reduced
sales at J & M of approximately $1,000.


CORPORATE/OTHER
- ---------------

     Corporate including the operations of the nursing homes and interest on
the Company's term loan and revolving line of credit, remained approximately the
