Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.

        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION.
        -------------------------------------------------------
       
        1996
        ----
         
        The most significant event affecting the Company's financial condition
        during the first quarter of 1996 was the completed acquisition of an 
        80-room hotel in Atlanta for approximately $3 million. The acquisition
        was funded by $600,000 cash, issuance of a $230,000 interest free 
        short-term note, and a seller provided $2.1 million (9.5%) first
        mortgage.

        The Company intends to spend approximately $500,000 in renovations and 
        refurbishments in converting the Atlanta hotel to join the Country 
        Hearth Inn chain, the Company's principal product.

        Other events included the collection of $1.1 million on a first
        mortgage note receivable which had been pledged to Trilon Interna-
        tional. These funds reduced the Company's net obligation to Trilon to
        approximately $1.5 million. Management believes there to be a variety
        of sources of funds available for the purpose of satisfying this 
        obligation which matures December 31, 1996.

  The Company also collected in full on a $730,000 short-term note
  related to the development, conversion, and sale of a hotel property in
  Lake Park, Georgia. The Company recognized a $130,000 profit as a result
  of converting this property to a Country Hearth Inn.

        The Company reduced its Orlando IRB obligation $400,000 using funds 
        generated by operations of the Orlando Country Hearth Inn.

        1995
        ----
 
        Company operating activities in the first quarter of 1995,
        excluding "Old Buckhead" claim settlements, generated positive
        cash flow of approximately $400,000.  Most of those funds,
        approximately $325,000, were used to reduce the Company's debt
        obligations.

        Estimated allowed amounts of "Old Buckhead" claims and
        associated restricted cash balances were reduced by
        approximately $130,000 as a result of payments and changes in
        estimates.  Remaining balances at March 31, 1995 included $1.5
        million relating to the previously reported "Glenstone" claim,
        which continued in the appeal process and was favorably
        resolved in the third quarter of 1995.

        Otherwise, the Company's financial condition did not change
        significantly from the end of 1994.

                                    7

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        ---------------------
       
        First Quarter of 1996 vs. First Quarter of 1995
        -----------------------------------------------
        
        Increases in 1996 hotel revenues and operating profits resulted 
        from the Company's acquisitions of hotels in Orlando, Atlanta, 
        and Texas. The Company's Miami hotel (a Days Inn) experienced a 
        slight decline in revenues, but all of the other Company owned 
        properties generated first quarter performance increases versus 
        the same period in 1995.

        Interest income continues to decline as a result of decreases in 
        the note receivable portfolio and in funds available for 
        investment. As previously stated, management intends to shift 
        financial resources to other assets, such as the hotel 
        acquisitions previously discussed.

        Increases in other income resulted from growth of franchising 
        revenues and the previously discussed Lake Park, Georgia 
        transaction. Both of the first quarters in 1996 and 1995 included 
        approximately $110,000 of income from changes in estimates of 
        allowed amounts of "Old Buckhead" claims. While no assurances can 
        be given, management is hopeful of further favorable settlements 
        in the future.

        Depreciation and interest expense increases resulted from the 
        hotel acquisitions. Interest expense on each individual debt 
        obligation generally decreases as the principal balances are 
        reduced. Most of the debt obligations are fixed rate, thus the 
        Company is not susceptible to a large amount of rate risk.

        Other operating and administrative expenses increased 5% from 
        1995 to 1996. All of this increase is attributable to increased 
        sales and marketing efforts relating to Country Hearth Inn 
        franchising. Management intends to continue to focus its efforts 
        on the growth of the Country Hearth Inn chain.

        Excluding the nonrecurring other income from "Old Buckhead" 
        claims, first quarter profit before depreciation and amortization 
        increased from $470,000 in 1995, or 27 cents per share, to 
        $625,000 in 1996, or 35 cents per share. Management does not 
        presently anticipate any short-term liquidity shortfalls or the 
        need to raise additional capital. 

        Differences between financial reporting net income and taxable 
        net income are declining. The Company may be required to provide 
        for income taxes in its financial statements prior to the end of 
        1996. As of December 31, 1995, the Company had unrecognized 
        deferred tax assets of approximately $4 million. The benefit of 
        these assets will be realized if and to the extent the Company 
        sustains continued profitable operations.
