 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

         SOUTHERN ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                          June 30, 1996

Note A - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC").  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.

     The results of operations for the quarter and the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the full year.  These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements and related notes in the Company's 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note B - Proposed Merger

     On January 22, 1996 the Company entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger") with Efficiency Lodge, Inc.
("ELI"), a Georgia corporation, pursuant to which ELI would be
merged into the Company.  As part of the Merger, the ELI
shareholders would receive approximately 95% of the shares of the
surviving corporation.  Shareholders of the Company would receive
one share of stock in the surviving corporation for each one
hundred shares of stock of the Company held by them prior to the
Merger and collectively would hold 5% of the shares of the
surviving corporation.  On January 25, 1996, the Company filed a
preliminary proxy statement with the SEC concerning the proxy
statement to be mailed to the shareholders of the Company in
connection with the proposed Merger.  Since then the Company has
filed two amendments in response to letters of comment from the
SEC.  Following a final review of the proxy statement by the SEC,
the Company will call a special meeting of its shareholders to
consider the proposed merger. 

Note C - Change in Fiscal Year

     On September 12, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors
voted to change the Company's fiscal year from September 30 to
December 31 in anticipation of the proposed merger discussed in
Note B, and a Form 8-K to report this event was filed with the
SEC.

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

     Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
increased 148% over the corresponding quarter in the preceding
year due to investing the proceeds from the sale of the Company's
last piece of investment property in certificates of deposit. 
While rental income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased
8% over the year earlier quarter, rental income for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 31% from the comparable
period in 1995. Inasmuch as there was no residential sales
activity during the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the quarter was
otherwise uneventful except for work on the proposed Merger which
gave rise to an increase in administrative and general expenses. 

     While the Company is exercising tight expense controls, it
continues to suffer from a lack of sufficient operating revenues
to cover administrative and general expenses.  Management hopes
that consummation of the proposed Merger will revitalize the
Company's operations.

     The Company's financial condition is stable, with a current
ratio of 11 to 1.  The Company hopes to use some of these funds
to buy and sell property at a profit in order to generate
capital.  There is no assurance, however , that such transactions
will materialize.  Management anticipates that some of the
Company's funds will continue to be used to pay legal, accounting
and other expenses in connection with the proposed Merger.
