         in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
         financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.
         Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
         required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
         financial statements. Operating results for the interim period
         presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be

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

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to three months ended June 30, 1998

Revenues decreased to $8,299,142 versus prior year of $12,129,530. The decrease
was due to lower commission and consulting fee income. Total operating expenses
decreased from $4,473,667 to $4,323,192. The decrease resulted from lower
operating expenses and the sale of the motel properties in 1998.

The decrease in income tax expense to $1,310,000 was due to lower pre-tax
earnings.

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to six months ended June 30, 1998

Revenues decreased to $13,760,791 versus prior year of $19,545,795. The decrease
resulted from lower commission income, lower consulting fees and the sale of
motel properties in 1998..

Total operating expenses decreased to $6,916,034 due to lower minority interest
income, lower operating costs and the sale of the motel properties in 1998.

Earnings before income taxes decreased to $6,615,160 compared to prior year of
$11,829,186. The decrease in income tax expense to $2,250,000 was due to lower
pre-tax earnings.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

At June 30, 1999, the company had total assets of $63,447,833. Cash and cash
equivalents were $94,700.

Total liabilities increased to $13,567,002 primarily due to increase in income
tax payable and accounts payable affiliate.

Other

Effective July 1, 1999, the Company modified its consulting fee relationship
with an affiliate. This change will significantly reduce consulting fee income
going forward.
