TAYLOR INVESTMENT CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.    The consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 1996 and December 31,
      1995, the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended
      March 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
      the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared by the
      management of Taylor Investment Corporation without audit. In the opinion
      of management, these consolidated financial statements reflect all
      adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to
      present fairly the financial position of Taylor Investment Corporation at
      March 31, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flow for all periods
      presented.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these
      statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
      financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1995 Form
      10-KSB.

      The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily
      indicative of results which will be realized for the full year.

2.    On March 12, 1996 and March 13, 1996, the Company closed on the sales of
      mortgages receivable with recourse in the amounts of $529,403 and
      $783,974, respectively, with put options on the five year anniversary of
      the sales. The sales were priced at a premium, with servicing retained by
      the Company. The Company anticipates subsequent sales of contracts and
      mortgages receivable during 1996. These sales of mortgage receivables will
      be accounted for as loans because the agreements contain put options under
      which the Company may be required to repurchase the mortgage receivables.


Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

Sales were $3,763,288, including $1,052,134 in sales of shell homes,
condominiums and townhomes, ("structures") for the quarter ended March 31, 1996,
an increase of $551,795 from the same period in 1995. Land sales of $2,711,154
decreased by $327,259 from the same period in 1995, primarily due to the cold
weather and significant snowfall in January and February, which made it
difficult to show lots. Structure sales increased by $879,054, primarily due to
the increase in construction and sale of shell cabins.

Gross profit was $1,433,217 or 38.1%, for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
compared to $1,515,997, or 47.2%, for the same period in 1995. The gross profit
margin on land sales was 42.6% for 1996 and 48.6% for 1995. Gross profit margin
on land sales decreased primarily due to the emphasis of selling lots at lower
margins that had been in inventory for more than one year. The gross profit
margin on structure sales was 26.5% for 1996 and 22.3% for 1995. The increase in
gross profit margins is attributable to timeshare sales. Timeshare sales
averaged a gross profit margin of 66.4% and other structures sales resulted in
gross profit margins of 14.4% during the first quarter of 1996.

Interest income was $239,660 and $206,461 for the first quarter of 1996 and
1995, respectively. The 16.1% increase in interest income is attributable to the
increased level of contracts and mortgages receivable, which was $7,371,550 as
of March 31, 1996 compared to $7,098,996 at March 31, 1995, and to higher rates
charged on timeshare sales. Other revenue, consisting of real estate closing and
documentation fees and resort management fees, was $119,144 for the first
quarter in 1996, compared to $115,893 for the same period in 1995. The slight
increase is due to an increase in rental revenue at the Laurentian resort.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,554,365 were 41.3% of sales
for the first quarter of 1996. These expenses were $1,302,610, or 40.6% of
sales, for the same period in 1995. The 0.7% increase in selling, general and
administrative is attributable to an increase in marketing expenses.

Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased $65,473, or
20.0% from the same period in 1995 due to an increase in debt to finance
inventory.

Income tax (benefit) expense for the first three months of 1996 and 1995, was
(39.0%) and 43.5%, respectively, of income before income taxes. Income tax
expense is based on the Company's estimated annual income tax rate which
includes state income taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generates cash flow from operations as land inventory is sold and
collections are made on its contracts and mortgages receivable. Taylor's primary
use of cash flow is for financing its ongoing acquisition of land and the
subsequent customer mortgage financing. Secondarily, the Company uses cash to
reduce the aggregate amounts outstanding under its Credit Agreement, notes and
mortgages payable. The following table sets forth the Company's net cash flows
for operating, inventory and financing activities for three months ended March
31, 1996, and 1995.

</TABLE>

Cash provided by operating activities for the first quarter of 1996 and 1995 was
$2,045,754 and $103,289, respectively. The principal sources of cash flow for
the first three months of 1996 was cash received from sales of land and
structures, as well as, payments collected on contracts and mortgages receivable
exceeding those funded during the period. For the same period in 1995, the
source of cash flow was primarily net income. Cash used in investing activities
was $159,424 and $80,080 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Sources of financing as of March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 are detailed in

</TABLE>

The balance of notes payable was $5,222,363 and $2,417,590 for March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, respectively. The large increase in the balance of notes
payable was attributable to the issuance of notes payable of $1,213,476 in
connection with the sale of contract and mortgages receivable which was recorded
as a financing transaction and to increased financing to acquire inventory.

(1)   Notes payable include the Diversified Business Credit, Inc. real estate
      line of credit in the amounts of $1,124,892 and $314,030 as of March 31,
      1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

As of March 31, 1996 contracts and mortgages receivable outstanding were
approximately $7.4 million compared to $8.0 million as of December 31, 1995.
This decrease is a result of payments collected on contracts and mortgages
receivable that exceeded those funded during the period. Cash sales for the
first three months in 1996 and 1995, as a percentage of total sales, were 82.7%
and 65.4%, respectively.
