Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

Material Changes in Financial Condition.

The  Company  generated  positive  cash flow from  operations  of  approximately
$1,555,000  during  the  first  half of 2000.  This  included  sales of  trading
securities  of  approximately  $1,034,000,   thus  actual  cash  generated  from
operating  segments  amounted  to  approximately  $521,000,  most of such  being
generated in the second quarter. Additionally,  accounts receivable increased by
over $958,000 which had a negative  impact on cash  generated  from  operations.
This increase is largely  attributable  to the seasonal nature of hotels managed
and  franchised  by the  Company and the  receivable  balances  are  expected to
decline in the third quarter.

The Company  repaid  approximately  $716,000 of debt  obligations  and  invested
approximately   $1,795,000  in  capital   expenditures   for   improvements  and
replacements on existing  properties and on new  construction.  A portion of the
funding  for  these  items  was  from  additional  borrowings  of  approximately
$484,000,  proceeds from property sales of  approximately  $581,000 (see below),
and from  operations.  Additionally,  the Company  purchased a 40-room  hotel in
Barnesville,  Georgia which had previously been operated by the Company under an
operating lease. The $1,350,000  purchase price was substantially  funded by the
assumption of a mortgage note of approximately  $968,000 and the offset of notes
receivable previously due from the seller of approximately $226,000.

The combined effect of these and other activities resulted in a decrease in cash
of  approximately  $517,000 from December 31, 1999 (a decrease of  approximately
$996,000  during the first  quarter and an increase  of  approximately  $479,000
during the second  quarter).  As has been  previously  disclosed,  the Company's
hotel operations are highly seasonal. Historically, the Company's hotel revenues
and operating profits have been stronger during the second and third quarters as
opposed  to the first and  fourth  quarters.  Management  expects  this trend to
continue and believes that adequate  additional  cash reserves will be generated
from third quarter  operations.  Management  further believes that the Company's
present  liquidity  and  existing  funding  commitments  are adequate to sustain
current operations and currently projected capital expenditures. The Company has
construction loan commitments which are considered  adequate to complete current
new  construction  projects and also has an unused line of credit  commitment of
$1,090,000.

The Company presently has two Country Hearth Inns under construction. Franchisee
developers have an additional 24 properties under development, most of which are
expected to open in 2000.  Five new Country  Hearth Inns have opened in 2000 and
the Company terminated one license agreement resulting in 52 Country Hearth Inns
open as of July 31,  2000.  The  Company  is under  contract  to  purchase  four
additional hotel properties,  two of which are presently operated by the Company
under operating leases. The aggregate purchase price for the four hotels amounts
to  approximately  $6.5 million and would be funded primarily by mortgage loans.
No assurance can be given that any of these contracts will close.

The Company  sold a 40-room  hotel  property in Wharton,  Texas in January  2000
resulting  in net cash  proceeds of  approximately  $267,000.  Also,  a mortgage
obligation  was reduced by $600,000 in  connection  with the sale.  The property
continues to operate as a Country Hearth Inn. In April, the Company sold an Ohio
hotel and an unimproved land parcel for aggregate net proceeds of  approximately
$314,000.  A $671,000  mortgage note was paid off in  connection  with the hotel
sale.  The three hotel  properties  (one in Texas and two in Georgia) which were
held for sale at March 31, 2000 remain held for sale. Additionally,  the Company
has classified  its Daytona,  Florida hotel as held for sale.  Accordingly,  the
Daytona hotel property and equipment (approximately $2,881,000) and related note
payable  (approximately  $2,247,000)  are classified as current in the Company's
June 30, 2000 balance sheet.

Material Changes in Results of Operations.

Comparison  of the three and six month  periods  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is
distorted by the impact of the June 1999 sale of the Company's Orlando,  Florida
hotel.  Development and corporate  revenues,  earnings before  interest,  taxes,
depreciation,  amortization and rent ("EBITDAR"), and income before taxes in the
1999 periods included the Company's  approximate $3 million share of the gain on
sale.  Hotel  management and franchising  revenues,  EBITDAR,  and income before
taxes in the 1999 periods included  termination  fees of approximately  $605,000
and $640,000, respectively, relating to the sale of the Orlando hotel.

Excluding the impact of the Orlando hotel sale, six month 2000 EBITDAR increased
approximately  $464,000 and income  (loss) before taxes  improved  approximately
$902,000 versus the same period in 1999. Similarly,  second quarter 2000 EBITDAR
increased  approximately  $519,000  and  income  (loss)  before  taxes  improved
approximately  $739,000. Such improvements resulted from increased profitability
in the Company's hotel ownership and hotel franchising  operating segments.  Net
results in 2000 for the  Company's  hotel  management  segment were  essentially
comparable to 1999.

Owned and leased hotel income  (loss)  before  taxes  improved by  approximately
$158,000 and $462,000  for the three and six month 2000  periods,  respectively,
versus the 1999 periods.  Generally,  hotel revenues,  expenses, and EBITDAR for
all periods were comparable in total.  The Company has  experienced  revenue and
profit declines at its Norcross and Dalton,  Georgia  properties,  both of which
are held for sale.  These  declines  have been offset by increased  revenues and
profits at other properties and by new hotel openings. Improved owned and leased
income (loss) before tax was  primarily  attributable  to a reduction in rent on
certain Host Funding leases,  reduction in depreciation  resulting from sold and
held for sale  hotels,  and from reduced  interest  expense  resulting  from the
Orlando hotel sale.

Excluding  the  impact of the  Orlando  hotel  sale,  hotel  management  EBITDAR
improved  approximately  $43,000 for the six month 2000  period  versus the same
period  in 1999.  This  improvement  was  mitigated  by an  approximate  $49,000
increase  in  amortization  expense  relating  to  deferred  costs  of  acquired
management  contracts.  The improvement in EBITDAR  resulted  primarily from the
additional third party hotel management  contracts  entered into during 1999 and
2000.  Hotel  management  revenues are based on managed hotel gross revenues and
are therefore subject to the same seasonality fluctuations as experienced in the
owned and leased hotels.

Excluding the impact of the Orlando hotel sale,  franchising  EBITDAR and income
(loss) before taxes increased by  approximately  $400,000 for the six month 2000
period and by  approximately  $172,000 for the second quarter 2000 period versus
the same periods in 1999. Such improvements  resulted from additional  franchise
property  openings  and from an  approximate  $69,000 and  $114,000  decrease in
franchising  payroll  and other  expenses  for the three and six month  periods,
respectively.

Changes in corporate expenses,  interest income, and other recurring non-segment
related items were not significant. The primary difference between 2000 and 1999
development and corporate  EBITDAR and income (loss) before taxes relates to the
Orlando hotel sale previously discussed.  Corporate interest expense in 2000 has
decreased from 1999 and is expected to continue to decrease as the  non-mortgage
note balances are reduced.

The Company files income tax returns and recognizes income tax expense (benefit)
on  an  annual  calendar  basis.  The  deferred  income  tax  expense  (benefit)
recognized  in the  first  and  second  quarters  of  2000  and  1999  represent
management's  estimates of the impact on the annual income tax expense (benefit)
which results from such quarter's operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of June 30, 2000, the Company's  obligations  included four variable mortgage
notes with aggregate  principal  balances of $2,907,791  which mature at various
dates  through  2015.  The Company is exposed to the market risk of  significant
increases in future interest rates. Each incremental point in the prime interest
rate would increase the Company's interest expense by approximately  $29,000 per
year. This risk is somewhat mitigated in that inflationary increases in interest
rates would theoretically result in increases in average hotel room rates. Also,
significant  increases  in  interest  rates  would  have a  dampening  effect on
additions of competitive hotels in the Company's markets.

At June 30, 2000,  the Company's  unrestricted  investment  securities  included
equity  securities  valued at $107,487.  The Company is exposed to the risk that
such  securities  will become  worthless.  The Company's  restricted  investment
securities also include equity securities.  Such restricted  securities comprise
the assets of the Company's deferred  compensation plan and changes in the value
of such securities have no net impact on the Company's earnings.

The ultimate  collection of the Company's notes receivable is subject to various
credit risks. Such risks and the Company's  approach to valuing such instruments
is discussed in the Company's December 31, 1999 Form 10-KSB.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

During 1999, the Company  temporarily  suspended  payments of Series A preferred
stock dividends due to liquidity requirements created by the seasonal aspects of
the Company's  hotel  operations.  Such  preferred  dividends are cumulative and
would be required to be paid prior to any distributions to common  shareholders.
As of August 10, 2000, a total of $143,750 of Series A preferred  dividends were
in arrears.  The holders of the Series A preferred stock have tentatively agreed
to forgive the  cumulative  preferred  dividends  in arrears in exchange for the
settlement of certain claims the Company has against them.

Item 3. Defaulting Upon Senior Securities.

None.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
