                  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   Although the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of
Buck Hill Falls Company and Subsidiary (the "Company") are unaudited, it
is the opinion of the Company's management that all normal recurring
adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for 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.

BUCK HILL FALLS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
- --------------------------------------

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 THREE MONTHS ENDED
JANUARY 31, 1996
COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JANUARY 31, 1995
- ----------------

   Revenues decreased 3% while cost of revenues increased 22% for the
three months ended January 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in the
prior year.

   In the first three months of fiscal 1996, golf revenues decreased
$18,563 and revenues from tennis, swimming and other outdoor activities
decreased $6,235.  The decrease is primarily the result of the Company not
offering a 5% discount for early payment of dues which was offered during
fiscal 1995.  The Company also decreased annual dues billed to the 290
residents at Buck Hill Falls from $2,400 to $2,300 in 1996, resulting in a
decrease of approximately $6,000 for the first three months of fiscal
1996.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase of $12,500 in the
Company's water operation revenues due to a rate increase and an increase
in snowplowing revenue of $8,700.  

   The increase in cost of revenues is primarily caused by the
reallocation of approximately $30,000 in administrative salaries to the
related community services operations to which the employees are currently
performing services.  Depreciation expense increased $16,900 as a result
of the water filtration system being put into operation in February 1995. 
Snowplowing costs were $7,600 in 1996 due to inclement weather.  Cost of
security increased approximately $5,000.

   General and administrative expenses decreased 52% in 1996 as compared
to 1995.  This decrease relates to the reallocation of administrative
salaries discussed above.  Bad debt expense decreased approximately
$14,800 due to the decrease in the provision for uncollectible accounts. 
Legal and accounting fees decreased approximately $21,000 during 1996
primarily due to Securities and Exchange Commission filings in 1995.

   Other income decreased 38% during 1996.  During 1995, there was a gain
on sale of land of $15,013 and sale of timber of $11,202 which were not
present in 1996.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase of
interest income of $6,000.

                                 -8-<PAGE>
<PAGE>
   Interest expense increased 96% as a result of interest of $23,400 on
borrowings related to the water filtration system which was placed in
service in February 1995.  

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

   At January 31, 1996, the Company had a working capital deficiency of
$893,630.  Included in current liabilities is the entire $861,120
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 $35,358 in scheduled principal payments on long-term debt are
due within the next twelve months.

   On July 24, 1592, 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 January 31,
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 has been 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 the 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 January 31, 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 $861,120 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 by $11,218 for the three months ended January 31, 1996. 
Cash provided by borrowings of $45,000 under the Company's revolving line
of credit and $16,000 in additional long-term borrowing was used to make
scheduled principal payments Of $7,709 on long-term debt, pay operating
expenditures $7,941 and capital expenditures of $34,648.  Such
expenditures included improvements to roads and paving of $16,382 and
purchase of a new automobile for $17,816.

                                      -9-<PAGE>
<PAGE>

   At January 31, 1996, the Company had drawn $861,120 on its $1,000,000
line of credit, leaving $138,880 available.

   The Company incurred a net loss of $121,314 for the three months ended
January 31, 1996 and at January 31, 1996, the Company has a cumulative
deficit of $1,271,382 and a working capital deficiency of $893,630. 
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.
