the interim periods presented have been reflected therein.  The results of
operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results that may be expected for the entire year.

             These statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1995.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL
- -------

        The Company's business, insofar as it relates to the provision of
recreational facilities, is largely seasonal in nature.  As a result, the
Company's revenues and cost of revenues typically increase significantly
in its third and fourth fiscal quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
APRIL 30, 1996
COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
APRIL 30,1995
- ------------------------------------------------

        Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 1996, were comparable
to the same period in the prior year.  The Company had an increase of
$9,812 in its water operations revenues as a result of a rate increase,
and an increase of $19,000 in snow plowing revenues as a result of heavy
snowfall amounts in 1996, but these increases were offset by a decrease in
golf cart rentals of $8,626 as a result of weather conditions in 1996 and
a decrease in golf and tennis dues revenues of approximately $3,000 as a
result of the Company's not offering a 5% discount for early payment of
dues as was done in 1995.  The Company also reduced annual dues billed to
the 290 residents at Buck Hill Falls from $2,400 to $2,300 in 1996,
resulting in a decrease of $21,000 for the first six months of 1996.

        Cost of revenues increased 12% as compared to the same period in
the previous fiscal year, primarily due to an increase in depreciation
expense of $34,000 related to capital improvements to the water system
which was put into operation in February 1995 and to the reallocation of
approximately $30,000 in administrative salaries to the related community
service operations to which the employees are currently performing
services.  In addition, snow plowing costs increased $15,000 due to severe
weather conditions during 1996.

        General and administrative costs decreased 37% in the first six
months of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  This decrease
relates to the reallocation of administrative salaries discussed above. 
Bad debts decreased $29,814 due to the write off of uncollectible accounts
in 1995.  During 1995, legal and accounting fees were incurred primarily
for an evaluation of a purchase offer from the Lot and Cottages Owners'
Association.  Such costs were not incurred during 1996, resulting in a
decrease in legal and accounting fees of $32,615.











                                 5<PAGE>
<PAGE>
        Other income decreased 33% during 1996.  During 1995, there was a
gain on sale of land of $15,013, proceeds from the sale of timber of
$11,202 and a bad debt recovery of $3,000, which were not present in 1996. 
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest income of
$10,000.

        Interest expense increased 71% as a result of interest of $37,680
on borrowings related to the water filtration system which was placed in
service in February 1995.  There was also capitalized interest in 1995,
which is not present in 1996 due to the completion of the water filtration
system.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
APRIL 30, 1996
COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
APRIL 30, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------

        Revenues increased 2% as a result of cottage inspection revenues
being earned in the second quarter in 1996 and the first quarter in 1995
and cost of revenues increased 4% as a result of increased utilities and
fuel expenses as a result of colder weather in 1996.

        General and administrative expenses decreased 23%, primarily due to
the reallocation of salary expense as explained above.

        Other income decreased 25%, primarily due to the sale of timber for
$11,000 which took place during this period in 1995.  This decrease is
partially offset by an increase in interest income of $5,000.

        Interest expense increased as a result of interest on the water
system capital improvements loan. There was also capitalized interest in
1995, which was not present in 1996 due to the completion of the water
filtration system.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

        At April 30, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$977,714.  Included in current liabilities is the entire $911,120
outstanding on the Company's $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank
(described in the following paragraph), which is payable on demand.  An
additional $35,442 in scheduled principal payments on long-term debt are
due within the next twelve months.















                                 6<PAGE>
<PAGE>
        On July 24, 1992, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a
bank relating to a secured revolving line of credit in the amount of
$1,000,000 (the "Revolving Credit Facility").  Amounts borrowed under the
Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the prime rate (8.25% at 
April 30, 1996) plus 1-1/2%.  Pursuant to the loan agreement,
approximately 2,600 acres of land and land improvements located in Barrett
Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, are pledged as collateral, along
with dues, assessments and fee revenues.  The Revolving Credit Facility is
available through May 31, 1997, contingent upon the Company maintaining a
satisfactory financial position and subject to annual review of the
Company's financial statements by the bank.  The loan agreement with the
bank provides that if, in the opinion of the authorized lending officers
of the bank, the Company's credit worthiness materially declines, the
credit line will cease to be available for future draws, and any existing
balance will be required to be fully amortized over a reasonable term.

        The Company was required to make certain improvements in its water
system.  In May of 1995, the Company entered into a $900,000 loan
agreement with a bank to refinance existing debt and to complete the
improvements.  Principal is payable in monthly installments of $8,985 over
a 20-year amortization period.  Interest is payable at the bank's base
rate (8.25% at April 30, 1996) plus 1-1/2%.  The loan matures in May 2015
and is secured by a first mortgage on approximately 2,200 acres of land
and land improvements located in Barrett Township, Monroe County,
Pennsylvania and a collateral assignment of all revenue and assessments of
the Company's water operations.

        The Company expects to meet its current liabilities (other than
payment of the entire $911,120 under the Revolving Credit Facility, which,
although not currently due, is classified as a current liability because
of the Revolving Credit Facility's demand terms) through increased
collections as a result of the seasonal increase in revenues which
typically occurs during the Company's third and fourth quarters through
the provision of recreational services.  The Company does not anticipate
that the bank will demand payment under the Revolving Credit Facility.

        Cash increased $32,692 for the six months ended April 30, 1996. 
Cash provided by borrowings of $95,000 under the Company's revolving line
of credit and $16,000 in additional long-term debt was used to make
scheduled principal payments of $15,811 on long-term debt, pay operating
expenditures of $12,490 and capital expenditures of $50,007.  Such capital
expenditures included improvements to roads and paving of $16,832,
purchase of a new automobile for $17,816 and purchase of furniture and
equipment for the golf club of $15,359.

        At April 30, 1996, the Company had drawn $911,120 on its $1,000,000
line of credit, leaving $88,880 available.












                                 7<PAGE>
<PAGE>
        The Company incurred a net loss of $260,848 for the six months
ended April 30, 1996 and at April 30, 1996, the Company had a cumulative
deficit of $1,410,915 and a working capital deficiency of $977,714. 
Although the Company's line of credit is available through May 31, 1997,
the ability to borrow under the line is contingent upon certain factors. 
As a result, continuation of the Company in its present form is dependent
upon the successful maintenance of its debt terms, its ability to obtain
additional financing if needed and the eventual achievement of sustained
profitable operations.

        Management believes that revisions in the Company's operating
requirements, including rate increases for amenities and the effect of the
water rate increase implemented in August 1995, provide the opportunity
for the Company to continue as a going concern.  However, there is no
assurance that management's actions will be successful or, if they are not
successful, that the Company would be able to continue as a going concern.
