           SOUTHERN INVESTORS SERVICE COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


(1)  CURRENT BUSINESS CONDITIONS

     The loss of Southern Investors Service Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
Company) was $226,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, as compared
to net income of $2,097,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Included in income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, was a gain of
$1,318,000 from the settlement of litigation.  In addition, during the nine
months ended September 30, 1994, extraordinary gains from the settlement of
outstanding liabilities totalled $1,352,000.  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.  On an
annual basis, 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.
As a result, the Company's cash flow was not sufficient to meet liquidity needs
and 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.  These settlements provided for the conveyance
to the creditors of a significant portion of the Company's assets.  As a result
of the 1990 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 $1,847,000 has matured and is
currently due and debt totaling $4,101,000 will mature during the fourth quarter
of 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

                                       5

carrying amounts or the amount of liabilities that might be necessary if the
Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

(2)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the significant accounting policies included in the
notes to the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB.  These consolidated

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

Results of Operations

          Net loss for the first nine months of 1995 was $226,000 or $.07 per
share compared to net income of $2,097,000 or $.66 per share during the first
nine months of 1994. Included in income for the nine months ended September 30,
1994 was a gain of $1,318,000 from the settlement of litigation.  In addition,
net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, included extraordinary
gains from the settlement of outstanding liabilities of $1,352,000.

          Rental and other revenues from the operation of the Company's resort
in west Texas totalled $1,614,000 and $1,503,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 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 which include the Company's equity in earnings of real
estate joint ventures, management fees and interest and other income were
$875,000 for the first nine months of 1995 compared to $785,000 last year.  The
Company received $225,000 in connection with its ownership of a net profits
interest in a Houston subdivision.  This net profits interest was retained by
the Company as part of its 1990 debt restructure.  This increase in real estate
revenues was offset by a decrease in the Company's equity in the earning of real
estate joint ventures.

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
<PAGE>
 
     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 $1,847,000 has matured and is
currently due and debt totaling $4,101,000 will mature in the fourth quarter of
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 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.
