                             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, these financial statements
include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of
the Company as of September 30, 1998 and the results of operations and cash
flows for the three-month period and for the nine month period ended September
30, 1998 and 1997.  The Company's results of operations during the first nine 
months of the Company's fiscal year are not necessarily indicative of the 
results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  The financial statements 
included in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial 
statements and notes thereto in the Company's 1997 Form 10-KSB.

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary manages the development of an oil and 
gas lease in Texas.  Operations of the subsidiary began during the second 
quarter of 1998 and, accordingly, the Company is presenting consolidated 
financial statements including the assets, liabilities and results of 
operations of the subsidiary.

2.    Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed using the weighted average 
number of shares outstanding during each period.  Common stock equivalents 
have not been included since the effect of such inclusion would be 
antidilutive.
                    
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted loss per
share for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997:

Proceeds were used to satisfy mortgage liens of $625,000 and in settlement of 
other liens and claims of approximately $800,000.  The property had a basis of 
approximately $2.9 million.  The Company incurred a loss on sale of 
approximately $1.7 million. 


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Form 10-QSB regarding the Company's future
prospects or profitability constitute forward-looking statements and as such,
must be considered with caution and with the understanding that various
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such
forward-looking statements.  Such factors include but are not limited to (i) 
the inability of the Company to complete a business combination or acquisition
as anticipated, (ii) the securing of financing sufficient to fund such
business combination, acquisition, settlement of outstanding debt and
litigation, and/or (iii) change in operating results provided by the Resort
or any newly-acquired operations due to economic or competitive conditions or 
otherwise.

General

The Company is principally engaged in the development, ownership,
marketing and operation of a destination resort community and fishing camp
located on Orange Lake near Ocala, Florida and the operation, through its 
subsidiary, of an oil and gas well in Texas.  As detailed in Note 4 of the 
financial statements, the resort was sold on November 3, 1998.

Year 2000 Reporting

On August 4, 1998, the SEC issued expanded requirements for disclosure 
regarding the international computer programming problems whereby certain 
computer programs will not be able to properly recognize the date in the year 
2000.  Management believes the Company has no material exposure from the year 
2000 problem.  The Company's management information systems advisor reports 
that because the Company's system was originally designed to be unaffected by 
year 2000 problem, the Company has no exposure to the problem within its own 
system.  The Company has consulted major vendors and suppliers whose 
non-compliance with correction of the problem could cause material damage to 
the Company and has determined that such vendors and suppliers have plans in 
place that will circumvent year 2000 problems that could affect the Company.

Results of Operations

Nine-month Period Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to Nine-month Period Ended
September 30, 1997:

Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 amounted to
$216,562 compared to $156,219 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 
1997, reflecting an increase of $60,343. Revenues are comprised of resort 
memberships  paid in full, dues and resort operations together with subsidiary 
operations.  The increase in revenues reflected for the nine-month period 
ended September 30, 1998 is a result of improved marketing and use of the 
Company's resort facilities combined with revenues from the Company's 
subsidiary.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $923,820 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998 compared to $1,669,855 for the nine-month 
period ended September 30, 1997, representing a decrease of $746,035.  The
decrease is due principally to expenses related to consulting activities in
connection with business acquisitions in the prior-year period.
 
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, $225,720 in interest 
expense was charged to operations compared to $32,195 charged to interest 
expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, reflecting an 
increase of $193,525.  The increase is due principally to the amounts incurred 
pursuant to notes issued in connection with settlements of liabilities related 
to convertible securities of the Company issued in 1996.

Net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 was $885,929, 
which represents a decrease in loss of $560,394 compared to the net loss of 
$1,446,323 for the prior-year period.  The decrease is due principally to 
reduction of expenses related to consulting activities in connection with 
business acquisitions in the prior-year period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and capital resources are hereinafter discussed in three broad
categories:  operating activities, investing activities and financing
activities.
     
Operating Activities

The revised marketing and sales approach, initiated in 1995 in response to
changing interests of the public away from memberships in favor of destination
and special interest resort amenities, has resulted in an increase in cash 
flows from operations for the current year, which trend is expected to
continue.

Cash decreased $120,102 to $1,434 at September 30, 1998 from $121,536 at 
December 31, 1997.  Net cash used for operating activities was $644,465 during
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to cash used in 
operating activities of $312,314 during the nine-month period ended September 
30, 1997.  The increase is primarily due to payments made relating to the oil 
and gas operations of the subsidiary and for costs associated with the 
refinancing and sale of the Resort.

Investing Activities

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, there was $226,063 used 
for investing activities, compared with $141,012 provided by investing 
activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997.  In 1998 
funds were used primarily for advances on a note receivable - related party 
(See Item 5, Other Information - Certain Relationships and Related 
Transactions.)  In the same period of the prior year funds were provided by 
proceeds on redemption of stock and primarily used for an investment in an oil 
and gas lease and related operations.

Financing Activities

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1998, net cash provided by 
financing activities was $750,426, representing an increase of $863,426 over 
net cash used in financing activities of $113,000 during the nine-month period 
ended September 30, 1997.  The increase is a result primarily of the proceeds 
derived from a note issued to a related party.  (See Item 5, Other Information 
- - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.) 
 
During the second quarter of 1998 the Company completed the refinancing of the 
resort property which prevented the foreclosure sale that had been scheduled 
for April 28, 1998.  Pursuant to the terms of the refinancing, the Company 
accepted offers for purchase of the resort property and entered into a 
contract of sale with one party.  On November 3, 1998, the Company sold the 
resort property for $1.2 million.  Proceeds were used to satisfy mortgage 
liens of $625,000 and in settlement of other liens and claims of approximately 
$800,000.  The Company continues to seek the acquisition of additional 
business activities in order to increase operating revenues.

The Company has been experiencing a liquidity problem and must obtain 
financing in addition to expected revenues from operations in order to pay its 
past due obligations and meet its current obligations as they come due.


PART II.   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5:     Other Information.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


During the third quarter of 1998, the Company was loaned a total of $83,401 
by Princeton Media Group, Inc. ("PMG"), whose Chairman and a director 
is James J. McNamara, Chairman and President of the Company.  This amount was 
in addition to funds loaned to the Company by PMG during the first two 
quarters of 1998 totaling $602,986 and during 1997 totaling $284,017.  All of 
such amounts loaned remain outstanding.  The total amount outstanding as of 
September 30, 1998 was $970,404.  Accrued interest as of September 30, 1998, 
totaled $44,247.  The loan to the Company accrues interest at prime rate, 
which was 8.5% as of September 30, 1998, and is payable on demand.  The loan 
was unsecured as of September 30, 1998. The Company has agreed to secure the 
repayment of the loan by a mortgage on oil and gas operations owned by 
Celebrity in Texas with a book value of approximately $1,200,000.  The 
mortgage would be subordinate to prior obligations owing to others, including 
approximately $300,000 payable over the next 18 months.  There is a 
substantial question whether the Company would be able to repay the loan. 
Moreover, there is no assurance that a foreclosure proceeding on the oil and 
gas operations would render sufficient proceeds to repay the loan in full.  In 
addition, there is no assurance the Company will retain its ownership of the 
oil and gas lease.  The loan has been guaranteed to PMG by Mr. McNamara to the 
extent of amounts owing by Mr. McNamara to the Company.

During the third quarter of 1998, the Company loaned a total of $10,806 to 
Mr. McNamara.  The Company had previously loaned an aggregate of $686,112 to 
Mr. McNamara during 1997 and the first two quarters of 1998, most of which
amounts remain outstanding. The total amount owed by Mr. McNamara to the 
Company as of September 30, 1998 was $696,918.  The loan from the Company to 
Mr. McNamara accrues interest at prime rate, which was 8.5% as of September
30, 1998 and is payable on demand.  The loan to Mr. McNamara is unsecured.  

The funds used by the Company to make the above-described loan were the 
proceeds from the exercise of stock options issued by PMG to an entity
wholly controlled by J. William Metzger, the only other director of the
Company, as compensation for consulting services rendered by Mr. Metzger 
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
