           SOUTHERN INVESTORS SERVICE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)


(1)  CURRENT BUSINESS CONDITIONS

          Net income of Southern Investors Service Company, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company) was $75,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995, as compared to $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994.  Included
in net income for 1995 are extraordinary gains of $33,000 from the settlement of
certain liabilities for less than the full amount due.  The Company has
sustained losses from operations for each of the past several years, and
management anticipates that the Company will incur an operating loss for the
remainder of 1995.  Cash flow from operations has not been and is not sufficient
to meet liquidity needs.

          The Company's operations are concentrated in Texas, which from 1986 to
1988 was adversely affected by the downturn in the energy and real estate
markets.  During 1990, the Company reached its first agreement with certain of
its creditors to resolve defaults under various loans and to settle the
outstanding debt and remaining deficiencies.  The settlement provided for the
conveyance to the creditors of title to certain collateral securing the loans
and the assignment of distribution rights of certain real estate projects.
Total debt satisfied was $85.4 million for the conveyance and assignments of a
significant portion of the Company's assets.  As a result of this debt
restructuring and various other settlements since 1990, the Company's cash flow
from operations has not been sufficient to meet the Company's obligations for
the past several years.  The Company has sustained net operating losses during
the past several years and anticipates that it will incur a net operating loss
for 1995.  Such losses have depleted the Company's stockholders' equity.  These
factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

          Management believes that the debt settlements which have been
consummated in prior years have improved the Company's financial condition and
its ability to pursue and realize investment, development and management
opportunities in real estate properties.  However, debt totaling $1,798,000 has
matured and is currently due and debt totaling $4,146,000 matures in 1995.  The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to settle or restructure its remaining debt and other obligations and
generate positive cash flow to cover operating expenses and other cash
requirements.  Management is currently reviewing possible options to increase
cash flow and settle the Company's existing liabilities with its limited
resources.  These options include, but are not limited to, continued efforts to
procure management and consulting contracts for a fee, reduction of operating
expenses (including interest), attempts to increase revenues of the Company's
resort development, continued negotiations with various creditors to settle
their accounts for cash payments at substantially less than the amount due, the
settlement of liabilities through the transfer of assets to creditors in

satisfaction of their claims, and a possible plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or liquidation of the Company.  While
management believes that the assumptions relative to the options currently being
considered are reasonable, there is no assurance that actual events will occur
in accordance with such assumptions.  Accordingly, management's assumptions may
need to be revised as actual events occur which differ from such assumptions.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments, which
could be significant, relating to the recoverability of asset carrying amounts
or the amount of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     The net income for the first three months of 1995 was $75,000 or  $.02 per
share compared to a net income of $9,000 or less than $.01 per share during the
first quarter of 1994.  The increase in net income was primarily attributable to
an increase in resort revenues discussed below.  In addition, during 1995 the
Company recorded extraordinary gains of $33,000 in connection with the
settlement of various obligations at less than the full amount due.

     Rental and other revenues from the operation of the Company's resort in
west Texas totalled $770,000 and $673,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.  Rental revenue and occupancy statistics for the
Company's resort operations for each of these periods are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

     Real estate revenues were $246,000 for the first three months of 1995
compared to $265,000 last year.  This decrease was due to a decrease in the
Company's equity in income of real estate joint ventures of $35,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On an annual basis cash flow from operations has been negative for the past
several years, and management anticipates that cash flow from operations will
not be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs during 1995.  The
financial condition of the Company indicates that, unless operating results and
cash flow improve, the Company will be required to borrow funds or to continue
to sell assets.  It is unlikely that the Company will be able to arrange to
borrow funds from other sources and there is no assurance that the Company could
sell sufficient assets to meet its cash needs.

                                       8

     Management believes that the debt settlements which have been consummated
in prior years have improved the Company's financial condition and its ability
to pursue and realize investment, development and management opportunities in
real estate properties.  However, debt totaling $1,798,000 has matured and is
currently due and debt totaling $4,146,000 matures in 1995.  The ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to settle
or restructure its remaining debt and other obligations and generate positive
cash flow to cover operating expenses and other cash requirements.  Management
is currently reviewing possible options to increase cash flow and settle the
Company's existing liabilities with its limited resources.  These options
include, but are not limited to, continued efforts to procure management and
consulting contracts for a fee, reduction of operating expenses (including
interest), attempts to increase revenues of the Company's resort development,
continued negotiations with various creditors to settle their accounts for cash
payments at substantially less than the amount due, the settlement of
liabilities through the transfer of assets to creditors in satisfaction of their
claims, and a possible plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code or liquidation of the Company.  While management believes that
the assumptions relative to the options currently being considered are
reasonable, there is no assurance that actual events will occur in accordance
with such assumptions.  Accordingly, management's assumptions may need to be
revised as actual events occur which differ from such assumptions.  The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments, which could be
significant, relating to the recoverability of asset carrying amounts or the
amount of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to
continue as a going concern.

          With the exception of the improvements located at the Company's resort
development in west Texas, substantially all of the Company's real estate assets
are pledged to banks to secure debt.  Management believes that in a stable
market the values of the properties would exceed the balances of the loans that
they secure.  If the Company were to sell or dispose of its real estate assets
as a result of the maturity or acceleration of the underlying debt or for
reasons other than those arising in the normal course of business, it is
anticipated that sales prices would be significantly less than the current
carrying amount of the assets and that such sales or dispositions would not
generate sufficient funds to retire the related debt.
