             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 JUNE 30, 1995



NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements are presented in accordance with the
requirements of Form 10-QSB and consequently do not include all of the
disclosures normally required by generally accepted accounting principles or
those normally made in the Company's annual Form 10-KSB filing.  Accordingly,
the reader of this Form 10-QSB may wish to refer to the Company's Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1994, for further information.

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the Company's
customary accounting practices and has not been audited.  In the opinion of
management, the information presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a
fair statement of interim results.  All such adjustments are of a normal and
recurring nature.


NOTE 2 - INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The income or loss per common share has been computed using the weighted
average of the number of shares outstanding during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  Because inclusion of convertible
preferred stock would have an anti-dilutive effect on the income or loss per
common share, the convertible preferred stock is excluded from the computation
of the income or loss per common share assuming full dilution for the quarters
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and
1994.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 


RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994

The primary sources of revenue of Crowell & Co., Inc., and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") are the development of residential properties for resale and
homebuilding.  

Other sources of revenue include sales of computer software and hardware,
operation of a pool and tennis facility, and various other real estate related
activities.

Total revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, are $2,093,729 less than
revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  Management believes the
uncertainty regarding large layoffs at Savannah River Site caused the decrease
in sales.  As the uncertainty regarding the layoffs is alleviated, management
believes sales activity will increase. 

Currently sales backlog on Company constructed homes is $1,287,900.  
Construction on these homes is 71% complete.  Backlog represents signed
contracts for the purchase of homes where the property has not been closed.  
Therefore, the Company still holds legal title and has not recognized any
income. 

The gross profit margin on home sales decreased in the quarter ended June
30, 1995, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1994, from 9.2 % to 6.2 %
because of competitive pressures caused by the Savannah River Site layoffs. 
Management believes gross profit margin will improve when sales activity
increases.

Operating expenses decreased by $28,265 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,
as compared to the same quarter last year.  This is a result of decreases in
legal fees, advertising and sales promotion and general decreases in several
other operating expense categories.  Management believes operating expenses
will decrease from second quarter levels for the third quarter because of the
disposition of the Company's residential brokerage division.  Operating
expenses include salaries, office expenses, occupancy, depreciation,
advertising and promotion, taxes and licenses, legal and accounting,
communications, and other expenses.  These expenses are fixed in nature and
normally do not fluctuate with different revenue levels.

The Company had a net loss for the second quarter of 1995 of $254,916
compared to net income of $55,918 for the second quarter of 1994.  Management
believes the company will sustain another loss for the third quarter of 1995
based on sales activity in new home sales.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has obtained financing historically by borrowing from
conventional lending sources using land acquired for development as security
for loans.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Current and future liquidity needs are expected to be met by use of the
proceeds from home, lot, and land sales and the proceeds from loans, using
lands purchased for development as collateral.  Existing development loans and
commitments available to the Company have been made by various financial
institutions and are secured by raw land and the improved lots held for resale.
Payments of interest are due monthly or quarterly and a portion of the
principal is repaid as each lot is sold.  The Company has approximately
$135,000 in unused development loan commitments available to use in the
development of residential properties as of June 30, 1995.

Residential home construction costs are expected to be met through the use
of existing commitments aggregating approximately $255,000 as of  June 30,
1995, and through the use of additional commitments also using the improved
lots as collateral.  Lot acquisition costs and home construction costs are
financed by construction loans from a number of conventional lending sources,
generally lending 90-95% of the costs of the home, secured by the lot and
improvements. These loans are repaid upon the sale of the home.  These loans
are negotiated and closed on a project-by-project and lot-by-lot basis.

In addition to the development loans, the Company has a loan agreement with
an Augusta, Georgia, savings and loan institution in the amount of
approximately $335,000 which is secured by real property.

The Company also has several other loans with various lenders which are
secured by various Company assets.

Financing arrangements for long-term needs have not been made.  Such
arrangements in the land development business are generally made on a
project-by-project basis.  Debt service on all existing loans (loan balances
totaled $4,909,678 as of June 30, 1995) and funds for operations are expected
to be met from the proceeds of home, lot, and land sales, and brokerage
commissions.  Notes maturing in the next twelve months total approximately
$4,500,000.  At June 30, 1995, available cash and proceeds from home, lot, and
land sales were expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's requirements
for the following quarter.  The Company historically has renewed these notes as
is common in the development business.  The notes will eventually be repaid
from proceeds of land, lot, and home sales.
                                                                
The Company expects to, as it has done in the past, sell land it presently
owns to meet liquidity needs.  Coupled with revenues from normal sources, such
sales would be expected to generate sufficient cash to meet liquidity
requirements.

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available of approximately
$1,370,000 to offset against future federal and state taxable income.  The
current value of these carryforwards computed at maximum federal and state
income tax rates is approximately $530,000.  This amount is not reflected in
the financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1995, are $4,727,609 less
than for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  This can be attributed primarily
to a decrease in home sales of $4,132,508.

Gross profit percent on home sales decreased from 10.5% for the six months
ended June 30, 1994, to 7.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1995. 
Management believes gross profit percent will remain at 1995 levels for the
next six months.

Operating expenses decreased by $238,171 for the six months ended June 30,
1995, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 1994.  Management believes
operating expenses will decrease for the six months ending December 31, 1995,
because of the disposition of the Company's residential brokerage division.

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1994, was $477,921 compared with
net income of $92,538 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Decreased sales
volume accounted for the difference.
