Item 2.       Managements Discussion and Analysis of
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to three months ended June 30, 1997

Revenues increased to $12,129,530 versus prior year of $11,964,832. The increase
was primarily due to higher management fees. Total operating expenses increased
from $3,071,259 to $4,473,667. The increase resulted from the nonrecurring loss
on the sale of the three hotel properties and higher salaries and wages.

The increase in income tax expense to $2,406,130 was due to utilization of
existing net operating loss "carryforwards" and utilization of the deferred tax
asset.

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to six months ended June 30, 1997

Revenues increased to $19,545,795 versus prior year of $16,658,969. The increase
resulted from higher commission income and higher consulting and management
fees.

Total operating expenses increased to $7,512,671 due to higher salaries and
wages and the nonrecurring loss on the sale of the three hotel properties.

Earnings before income taxes increased to $11,829,186 compared to prior year of
$11,199,408. The increase in income tax expense to $3,986,000 was due to
utilization of existing net operating loss "carryforwards" and utilization of
the deferred tax asset.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At June 30, 1998, the company had total assets of $55,866,782. Cash and cash
equivalents increased to $260,741.

Total liabilities increased to $8,432,391 primarily due to increase in income
tax payable.

Year to date, the Company redeemed $26,325,000 of it's preferred stock in
exchange for reduction of receivable from an affiliate.
