The discussion in this Report includes forward-looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially
from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in item
II below, as well as those discussed elsewhere in this Report and the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1996.

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

The Company's operations are conducted primarily through two wholly owned
subsidiaries. Sea Pines Company, Inc. operates all of the resort assets,
including three resort golf courses, a 28 court racquet club, a home and villa
rental management business, retail sales outlets, food service operations and
other resort recreational facilities. Sea Pines Real Estate Company, Inc. is an
independent real estate brokerage firm with ten offices serving Hilton Head
Island and its neighboring communities.

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sea Pines/TidePointe, Inc.,
owns a 17.5% general partnership interest in TidePointe Partners. TidePointe
Partners is a general partnership which is developing and constructing a
continuing care retirement community on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
Phase I construction including the clubhouse, spa and two villa buildings has
been completed. As of July 31, 1997, sales contracts on 96 units of the total
206 units in Phase I had closed with an additional 29 units under contract.
Phase II development is under consideration as of July 31, 1997, however
construction has not commenced.

Sea Pines Senior Living Center, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
recently completed construction of the health care facility located within the
TidePointe continuing care retirement community at an approximate cost of
$8,100,000. The facility received its operating licenses and began operations in
February 1997. Operating losses totaling $644,000, net of revenues of $345,000
relating to start-up operations of the health care facility through July 31,
1997 and interest expense of $381,000 have been included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements. TidePointe Partners advanced the Company the
funds necessary to construct and operate the facility through July 31, 1997.

On July 31, 1997 Sea Pines Senior Living Center, Inc. sold all of the assets,
liabilities and operations relating to the health care facility to The Rogers
Center, LLC. The Rogers Center, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of TidePointe
Partners of which the Company is a 17.5% minority general partner. The sale
price of approximately $9,125,000, equaled the funds advanced to the Company by
TidePointe Partners to construct and operate the facility. The sale has
therefore generated a gain of $1,025,000 which is equal to the net operating
losses including interest expense incurred in operating the health care facility
through the closing date. As a result of this transaction the Company has
recognized a

                                        9

gain on the sale of $845,625 (82.5% of the total gain), and has deferred 17.5%
of the gain ($179,375) because of its minority general partner interest in
TidePointe Partners. At this point, the Company's involvement in the TidePointe
development and related health care operations is limited to its 17.5% general
partner interest.

On May 1, 1996 the Company turned over the operations and assets of the Sea
Pines Country Club to the equity members as contemplated by the May 1990 Equity
Offering Agreement. Effective with this transfer, the Club obtained control of
all of its physical assets and assumed complete and total responsibility for its
operations and all the other risks and rewards of ownership. Results of Club
operations through the turnover date are included in the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements in fiscal year 1996.

Results of Operations for 1997 as Compared with 1996

The Company reported consolidated income before tax of $1,421,000 and $8,276,000
for the third quarter ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. These amounts
include several unusual items. The 1997 income includes a net gain from the sale
and third quarter operation of the health care facility of $361,000 and a loss
from the Company's equity interest in TidePointe Partners of $180,000. The 1996
income includes the gain on the Country Club turnover of $7,747,000 and the loss
on the disposition of the Carolina Center of $810,000. Excluding these items,
income from core business activities was $1,240,000 for the third quarter ended
July 31, 1997 as compared to $1,339,000 for the same period last year.
Consolidated revenues excluding health care during the third quarter totaled
$10,816,000, a 3.1% increase over consolidated revenues reported for the third
quarter of 1996.

Resort revenues increased by 4.7% during the third quarter from $8,032,000 in
1996 to $8,410,000 in 1997. This increase is attributable to improved revenues
in the Company's lodging operations.

Real estate revenues decreased by $63,000, or 2.6%, to $2,404,000 during the
third quarter ended July 31, 1997 from the same period last year. Year to date,
real estate revenues continue to run 1.3% ahead of the prior year and are
indicative of the continued strong brokerage sales the Company has experienced.

Cost of revenues increased by $461,000, or 6.5%, during the third quarter of
1997 compared to the same period last year. This increase includes a $438,000
increase in payments to lodging owners based on increases in resort rentals.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $65,000, or 16.3%, during the third
quarter of 1997 compared to the same period last year. This increase was
anticipated and is consistent with the current year financial plan.

General and administration expenses decreased by $89,000, or 9%, from the same
period

                                       10

last year. This decrease is the result of decreased legal costs from the prior
year due to the absence of litigation related to the Carolina Center.

During the third quarter of 1997, the Company recorded operating losses of
$267,000 net of revenues of $193,000, from the operations of the health care
facility located at TidePointe. These losses were anticipated and reflect
start-up expenditures and patient level stabilization. See further discussion at
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of
Operations.

Interest expense on the Company's debt increased by $28,000 or 8% from the same
period last year. This increase results from a slight increase in the variable
interest rate on the Company's long term debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and short term investments decreased by $279,000 during the third quarter
of 1997 and totaled $2,406,000 at July 31, 1997, of which $2,146,000 was
restricted. The Company's working capital deficit decreased by $750,000 in the
third quarter resulting in a working capital deficit of $1,211,000 at July 31,
1997.

The Company maintains a $2.5 million seasonal line of credit used to meet cash
requirements during the Company's off-season. As of July 31, 1997, the line of
credit had no outstanding balance. In addition to the seasonal line of credit,
the Company maintains a $12 million revolving credit facility used for capital
investments in business lines consistent with the Company's operations. As of
July 31, 1997, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility totaled
$7.6 million.

At its December 1996 Board of Directors meeting, the Company declared a cash
dividend to holders of Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock of $0.722 per share.
This dividend is payable in equal quarterly installments of approximately $0.181
per share, the first three were paid on January 15, 1997, April 15, 1997 and
July 15, 1997. An additional quarterly installment will be paid on October 15,
1997 to shareholders of record on the first day of the month.

Business Outlook and Recent Developments

The Company is in the final planning stages for construction of a new conference
center in Harbour Town, adjacent to the Harbour Town Clubhouse. The planned
facility will include approximately 15,000 square feet and contain a ballroom,
meeting space and catering kitchen facilities. Management believes such a
facility will enhance the Company's existing facilities and enable the Company
to be more competitive in attracting small group meetings and other functions to
Sea Pines. Construction will begin upon completion of planning and is
anticipated to cost approximately $4,700,000 and take approximately one year to
construct.
