under the laws of the State of Georgia on July 29, 1991.  The 
Company was formed for the purpose of engaging in the business of 
purchasing, developing, and managing properties in the overnight 
resort rental unit market in resort areas throughout the world.  
Through December 31, 1992, the Company was considered to be in the 
development stage.  Since the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the 
Company was no longer considered to be in the development stage.  

GAHR has five wholly-owned subsidiaries -- Great American Travel 
Network, Inc. ("GATN"), Great American Casinos, Inc. ("GAC"), Great 
American Resorts of Florida, Inc. ("GAROF"), The Great American 
Honeymoon Resort, Inc. ("GAHR"), and Great American Hotels & 
Resorts of Biloxi, Inc. ("GARB") (GAHR, GATN, GAC, GAROF, GAHR and 
GARB shall collectively be referred to as the "Company") 
 
The accompanying balance sheet, statements of operations and cash 
flows include the accounts of GAHR, GATN, GAROF, GAHR, GAC and 
GARB. 
 
3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 
 
Fixed Assets - Property, improvements and equipment are recorded at 
cost.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to 
expense as incurred and additions and improvements that 
significantly extend the lives of assets are capitalized. Upon sale 
or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and 
accumulated depreciation are removed from the related accounts and 
any gain or loss is reflected in operations.  Depreciation is 
calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful 
lives of the depreciable assets ranging from five to thirty-nine 
years. 
 
Organization Costs - Organization costs include professional fees 
relating to incorporating and organizing the Company.  These costs 
will be amortized over a five-year period. 
 
Goodwill - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price 
over the estimated fair market value of identifiable net assets 
acquired through business combinations accounted for as a purchase 
and is being amortized to expense over a five year period. 
 
Security Transactions - Security transactions, including the 
resulting commission revenue and expenses, are recorded on a 
trade-date basis. 
 
Income Taxes - Income taxes are computed based upon the provisions 
of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and 
liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax effects 
attributed to temporary differences between book and tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and for carryforward items.  The measurement 
of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based upon 
enacted tax law.  Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by 
a valuation allowance for the amount of tax benefits that are not 
expected to be realized. 
 
Net Gain/Loss Per Share of Common Stock - Net gain/loss per share 
is computed by dividing the net gain/loss for the period by the 
weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding 
during the period.  Common stock is considered outstanding upon 
issuance of the certificates by the stock transfer agent. Common 
equivalent shares from stock warrants were excluded from the 
computation because their effect is antidilutive for the periods 
presented. 
 
4.  ISSUANCE OF STOCK IN PRIVATE TRANSACTIONS 
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company agreed to 
issue 54,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at $2.50 per share to 
two existing shareholders of the Company, for gross proceeds of 
$135,000. 
 
5.  OCALA HOLIDAY INN 
 
On June 30, 1995, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement to 
acquire a 51% limited partnership interest and a 50% general 
partnership interest in Landcom-Ocala, Ltd., a Florida limited 
partnership ("Ocala"). In addition, the Company agreed to invest 
additional fnds to bring its limited partnership interest up to 
85%.  Ocala's principal asset consists of a Holiday Inn-franchised 
hotel in Ocala, Florida, which has 272 rooms, a restaurant, lounge, 
conference facilities and pool.  Completion of the transaction was 
conditional on all of the existing partners in Ocala consenting to 
the transaction.  However, four limited partners, including one 
limited partner holding a majority of the limited partnership 
interests in Ocala, did not consent to the transaction, and 
therefore the Purchase Agreement terminated.  The Company is 
currently negotiating with the majority limited partner regarding 
an acquisition by the Company of an interest in Ocala, but any such 
acquisition would not be on terms comparable to those contained in 
the June 30, 1995 Purchase Agreement. 
 
6.  RENO HOTEL 
 
On January 20, 1995, the Company acquired the Ramada Hotel and 
Casino (formerly known as the Cheers Hotel and Casino) in Reno, 
Nevada (the "Reno Hotel"), and simultaneously employed an 
unaffiliated management company to manage the Reno Hotel. Effective 
September 24, 1995, the Company terminated the management company 
which managed the Reno Hotel. The Reno Hotel is now managed by the 
Company's inhouse property division. The management company has 
failed and refused to turnover certain business and accounting 
records relating to the operation of the Reno Hotel during the 
period of its management, and to provide documentation to support 
certain expenditures which it made to insiders of the management 
company on behalf of the Reno Hotel.  Accordingly, the Company has 
initiated legal action against the management company and its 
principles. 
 
On February 27, 1996, the Reno Hotel received verbal approval to 
begin operating as a Ramada Inn franchisee, and began operating as 
a Ramada Inn franchisee on that date.  The Company recently 
completed renovations to the inside of the Reno Hotel, including 
the rooms, suites, common areas, and restaurant.  The Company plans 
to begin renovations to the outside of the Reno Hotel in August 
1996, which include new a stucco exterior and new signage. The 
Company anticipates that the exterior renovation will take about 60 
days. Operating results from the Reno Hotel have improved 
significantly since it began operating as a Ramada Inn franchisee, 
and the company believes that completion of exterior renovations 
and continued marketing efforts will result in significantly 
improved operating results. 
 
7.  CLASSIC MERGER AND SPINOFF 
 
On June 30, 1995, the Company and Casinos International, Inc. 
("Casinos"), a former subsidiary of the Company, entered into an 
Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange, as amended on September 6, 
1995 and December 22, 1995, with Classic Restaurants International, 
Inc.  Under the Agreement, Casinos agreed to acquire all of the 
issued and outstanding common stock of Classic by issuing one share 
of its Class A Common Stock for each share of Class A Common Stock 
and Class A Preferred Stock of Classic and one share of its Class B 
Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock of Classic.  
Simultaneously with the acquisition of Classic, Casinos agreed to 
convey all of its interest in GAC to the Company in return for the 
Company's common stock interest in Casinos, cancellation of any 
intercompany claim and a mutual release of liability.  In addition, 
two directors of Casinos -- Dr. Edward L. Bates and M. James Herbic 
- -- agreed to return any shares of stock which they own in Casinos 
to Casinos for cancellation as part of the transaction.  The 
shareholders of the Company and Classic approved the transaction on 
January 24, 1996, and the transaction was consummated on January 
31, 1996.  As a result of the transaction, the Company does not 
have any interest in Casinos, but owns 100% ownership of the Reno 
Hotel through its ownership of GAC. 
 
8.  CARAGH HOLDINGS AGREEMENT 
 
The Company has agreed to sell up to 700,000 shares of Class A 
Common Stock to Caragh Holdings, Ltd. for $3.20 per share at any 
time until December 31, 1996.  The agreement entered on September 
13, 1995, as amended on October 6, 1995, originally contemplated 
the purchase of certain undeveloped land in Ireland by the Company 
for 950,000 Irish Pounds, which amount was payable in 150,000 Irish 
Pounds and 400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company.  
The agreement also granted Caragh the option to purchase up to 
300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for $3.20 per share at any 
time before December 31, 1996.  The shares have already been issued 
to the seller as an earnest money deposit, but are subject to a 
restrictive legend which prevents the seller from disposing of the 
shares until they are actually paid for. Pursuant to an option 
contained in the agreement, the parties have rescinded the 
agreement insofar as it relates to the Company's purchase of land 
in Ireland, and agreed that Caragh may purchase the 400,000 shares 
allocated to the purchase of land for $3.20 per share at any time 
before December 31, 1996.  As of August 15, 1996, Caragh had paid 
the Company $610,674 in consideration for such stock. 
 
9.  SHIPYARD PLANTATION 
 
On March 20, 1993, the Company closed on the purchase of 23 
cottages located within Shipyard Plantation, Hilton Head Island, 
South Carolina.  In August and September 1995, the Company entered 
into contracts to sell 21 of the 23 cottages.  The sales prices are 
$107,000 each for 10 of the cottages and $112,925 each for the 
other 11 cottages.  Brokerage commissions and closing costs are 
paid from the sales proceeds under each of the contracts.  The 
Company has closed on six of the contracts. Closings are scheduled 
under the remaining seventeen contracts through May 1996.  
Subsequently, the Company agreed to sell all but one of the 
cottages for a total price of approximately $1,778,000, payable 
$460,000 in cash, the assumption of the existing first mortgage 
indebtedness on the cottages in the approximate amount of 
$1,048,800, and a second mortgage on the cottages in the amount of 
$207,500 which is payable in full with interest at 8% per annum on 
June 27, 1996.  In April 1996, closing occurred under the contract 
effective March 15, 1996.  The Company recognized a capital gain 
from the disposition of 22 of the cottages in the approximate 
amount of $524,450. In August 1996, the Company sold the final 
cottage for $112,925, less closing costs and brokerage commissions. 
The Company leased the final cottage for nominal rent through 
December 1996 for use by the Company's shareholders.

10.  BROADWATER INN PURCHASE 
 
On March 1, 1996, the Company entered into an Agreement of Purchase 
and Sale of Real Property with BH Acquisition, Inc., under which 
the Company agreed to purchase a 219 room hotel known as The 
Broadwater Inn, 1870 Beach Boulevard, Biloxi, Mississippi 39533.  
The Company intends to assign the Agreement to GARB.  The purchase 
price is $5.5 million, $4 million of which is payable in cash, 
$500,000 of which is payable in the form of a promissory note of  
the Company which is secured by a first mortgage on the Company's 
Gatlinburg property, and a $1,000,000 of preferred stock of GARB. 
The Agreement is subject to a number of contingencies, including 
title acceptable to the Company, the Company securing first 
mortgage financing in the amount of at least $4 million, and an 
inspection of the property.  The Company was unable to obtain 
mortgage financing for the property by the deadline set forth in 
the Agreement, and therefore the Agreement was terminated.  
However, the seller has orally indicated that it will still sell 
the property to the Company on the terms set forth in the 
Agreement, and therefore the Company is still trying to arrange 
financing to complete the purchase of the property.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources 
 
The Company's working capital at December 31, 1995, was ($533,000) 
as compared to ($7,302) at June 30, 1995.  The decrease in working 
capital was primarily attributable to the Company's loss from 
operations, the repayment of substantial mortgage indebtedness of 
the Company, offset by subscriptions receivable relating to the 
Company's sale of stock to Caragh Holdings, Ltd.  The Company 
anticipates having to raise additional funds through private 
securities offerings to finance improvements to the Reno Hotel, for 
general administrative expenses, and for other acquisitions which 
the Company plans to make in the next six months. 
 
Results of Operations 
 
The Company reported a loss of ($416,244), or ($0.20) per share, 
during the quarter ended December 31, 1995, as compared to income 
of $67,000, or $0.04 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 
1994.  During the quarter, the Company experienced higher than 
normal general and administrative expenses in the form of higher 
legal and accounting fees associated with the Company's 1995 audit 
and annual report. In addition, the Company continued to experience 
operating losses at the Reno Hotel, and will continue to experience 
additional losses until the planned renovations are complete.  The 
Company has moved to improve operations at the Reno Hotel by 
changing management at the property, by making renovations to the 
Property and by entering into agreement to make the property a 
Ramada Inns franchisee as of February 27, 1996. During the previous 
quarter, the Company disposed of its securities brokerage 
subsidiary which had been unprofitable.  The travel agency segment 
experienced significantly lower revenues as the result of the 
failure of a major distributor to renew its agreement to market the 
company's travel card in certain Asian markets.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION 
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings. 
 
On October 17, 1994, Vacation Invitations, Inc. ("VII") and Kegley 
Travel Network, Inc. ("KTN"), which is affiliated with VII, filed a 
lawsuit in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, State of Georgia, 
against GAHR, Schneider Securities, Inc., and four present and 
former employees of the Company, Gayle A. Banes, James Wilcox, Ed 
Bates and Robert Christian.  The complaint alleged that the 
defendants conspired to convert and did convert confidential 
information from the plaintiffs, misappropriated trade secrets of 
the plaintiffs, and tortiously interfered with the business of the 
plaintiffs.  The complaint sought damages in excess of $1,000,000, 
as well as injunctive relief preventing the defendants from using 
trade secrets of the plaintiffs and from contacting any employee or 
distributor of the plaintiffs for any reason.  Subsequent to the 
filing of this lawsuit, VII and KTN both filed for relief under the 
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a trustee was appointed in 
each of their cases.  The trustee subsequently abandoned the 
lawsuit to the plaintiffs. On January 11, 1996, the plaintiffs 
voluntarily dismissed the action with prejudice. 
 
On or about November 15, 1995, the Company was sued by RRR, Inc., 
d/b/a MAXimum Resort Rentals, Inc.  The plaintiff was retained by 
the Company to manage the Company's cottages at Hilton Head Island, 
South Carolina.  See "Description of Property - Shipyard 
Plantation, Hilton Head Island."  The lawsuit alleges that the 
Company breached its agreement with the plaintiff when the Company 
entered into agreements to sell 21 of the cottages.  The lawsuit 
seeks actual damages of $3,000,000 plus unspecified punitive 
damages.  The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit, and 
has filed a counterclaim seeking damages for the plaintiff's breach 
of the agreement. 
 
On February 26, 1996, eight plaintiffs, representing four 
neighboring properties of the Company's rental property in 
Gatlinburg, Tennessee, filed a lawsuit against the Company for 
nuisance relating to runoff from the Company's property.  The 
lawsuit seeks $140,000 in damages.  The Company believes that it 
has sufficient insurance to cover any litigation costs or damages 
which may be assessed against the Company in the lawsuit.
