(c)      MORTGAGES AND SIMILAR DEBT

         On June 19,  1992,  Selex  loaned  the  Company  the sum of  $3,000,000
         pursuant   to  the  First   Selex   Loan.   The  First  Selex  Loan  is
         collateralized  by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's unsold,
         undeveloped  property in its St. Augustine Shores,  Florida  community.
         The Loan matured on June 15, 1996,  with the entire unpaid  balance now
         due and payable and bearing  interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  As
         part of the Selex transaction, Selex was granted an option, approved by
         the holders of a majority of the  outstanding  shares of the  Company's
         Common Stock at the Company's 1992 Annual Meeting,  which, as modified,
         enabled Selex to convert the First Selex Loan, or any portion  thereof,
         into a maximum of 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per
         share conversion price equal to the greater of (i) $1.25 or (ii) 95% of
         the  market  price  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock  at the  time  of
         conversion,  but  in  no  event  greater  than  $4.50  per  share  (the
         "Option").  On February 17, 1994, Selex exercised the Option,  in full,
         at a  conversion  price of $1.90 per  share,  such that  $1,140,000  in
         principal   was  repaid   under  the  First  Selex  Loan  through  such
         conversion.  As of June 30,  1997,  the  Company  was in default of the
         First Selex Loan.

         One million  dollars of the proceeds from the First Selex Loan was used
         by  the  Company  to  acquire  certain   commercial  and   multi-family
         properties at the Company's St. Augustine Shores community at their net
         appraised

         value,  from Marcel  Muyres and certain  entities  affiliated  with Mr.
         Muyres and Cornelis Zwaans. Namely, (i) $416,000 was used to acquire 48
         undeveloped  condominium  units  (twelve 4 unit  building  sites) and 4
         completed (and rented) condominium units from Conquistador  Development
         Corporation ("Conquistador"),  in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres serve
         as   directors,   as  well  as   President   and   Secretary/Treasurer,
         respectively;  (ii) $485,000 was used to acquire 4 commercial lots from
         Swan, in which Messrs.  Zwaans and Muyres also served as directors,  as
         well as President and Secretary,  respectively; and (iii) approximately
         $99,000  was used to  reacquire,  from Mr.  Muyres,  all of his rights,
         title and interest in that certain  contracts  with the Company for the
         purchase of a commercial tract in St. Augustine Shores,  Florida.  None
         of the commercial  and  multi-family  property  acquired by the Company
         from Mr. Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs. Zwaans and
         Muyres   collateralizes   the  First  Selex  Loan.   In  March,   1994,
         Conquistador  exercised  its right to repurchase  certain  multi-family
         property  from the Company  (which right had been granted in connection
         with the June, 1992 Selex transaction) at a price of $312,000, of which
         $260,000  was paid in cash to the  Company  and  $52,000 was applied to
         reduce  interest  due to Selex under the Second  Selex Loan (the "First
         Conquistador Acquisition").

         On  December 2, 1992,  the  Company  entered  into  various  agreements
         relating  to certain of its  assets and the  restructuring  of its debt
         with  Yasawa,  which is  beneficially  owned by Mr.  Antony  Gram.  The
         consummation of these  agreements,  which are further  described below,
         was  conditioned  upon the  acquisition  by Mr.  Gram of the  Company's
         outstanding bank loan.

         On  December 4, 1992,  Mr.  Gram  entered  into an  agreement  with the
         lenders,  pursuant to which he acquired the bank loan of  approximately
         $25,150,000  (including  interest and fees) for a price of $10,750,000.
         In conjunction with such  transaction,  the lenders  transferred to Mr.
         Gram the warrants  which they held that entitled the holder to purchase
         an  aggregate  of 277,387  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock at an
         exercise price of $1.00 per share. Immediately after the acquisition of
         the bank loan,  Mr. Gram  transferred  all of his  interest in the bank
         loan, including the warrants, to Yasawa.

         On December  11,  1992,  the Company  consummated  the December 2, 1992
         agreements with Yasawa. Under these agreements,  Yasawa, its affiliates
         and the  Company  agreed  as  follows:  (i) the  Company  sold  certain
         property at its Citrus  Springs  community to an affiliate of Yasawa in
         exchange for approximately $6,500,000 of debt reduction credit; (ii) an
         affiliate  of  Yasawa  and the  Company  entered  into a joint  venture
         agreement  with respect to the Citrus Springs  property,  providing for
         the Company to market such property and receive an  administration  fee
         from the venture (in March,  1994, the Company and the affiliate agreed
         to terminate  the  venture);  (iii) the Company sold certain  contracts
         receivable  at face value to an affiliate of Yasawa for debt  reduction
         credit of  approximately  $10,800,000;  (iv) the Company sold the Marco
         Shores  Country  Club and Golf Course to an  affiliate of Yasawa for an
         aggregate  sales price of  $5,500,000,  with the affiliate  assuming an
         existing  first  mortgage of  approximately  $1,100,000 and the Company
         receiving  debt reduction  credit of $2,400,000,  such that the Company
         obtained cash  proceeds  from this  transaction  of  $2,000,000,  which
         amount was used for working capital;  (v) an affiliate of Yasawa agreed
         to lease the Marco  Shores  Country Club and Golf Course to the Company
         for a period of approximately one year; (vi) an affiliate of Yasawa and
         the Company  agreed to amend the terms of the  warrants to increase the
         number of shares  issuable upon their  exercise from 277,387  shares to
         289,637  shares and to adjust the  exercise  price to an  aggregate  of
         approximately $314,000; (vii) Yasawa exercised the warrants in exchange
         for debt  reduction  credit of  approximately  $314,000;  (viii) Yasawa
         released  certain  collateral held for the bank loan; (ix) an affiliate
         of Yasawa agreed to make an additional  loan of up to $1,500,000 to the
         Company,  thus  providing the Company with a future line of credit (all
         of which was drawn and outstanding as of June 30, 1997); and (x) Yasawa
         agreed to restructure the payment terms of the remaining  $5,106,000 of
         the bank loan as a loan from Yasawa (the "Yasawa Loan").

         The Yasawa  Loan  bears  interest  at the rate of 11% per  annum,  with
         payment of interest deferred until December 31, 1993, when only accrued
         interest became  payable.  Commencing  January 31, 1994,  principal and
         interest became payable monthly,  with all unpaid principal and accrued
         interest  being due and payable on December  31,  1997.  As of June 30,
         1997, $6,625,000 in principal and accrued interest was in default under
         the Yasawa Loan.

         On April 30,  1993 Selex  loaned the Company an  additional  $1,000,000
         collateralized by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's property
         in its Marion  Oaks,  Florida  community  (the  "Second  Selex  Loan").
         Interest under the Second Selex Loan was 11% per annum,  deferred until
         December 31, 1993, and principal was to be repaid at $3,000 per lot for
         lots  requiring  release  from the  mortgage,  with the  entire  unpaid
         principal  balance and interest  accruing from January 1, 1994 to April
         30, 1994 due and payable on April 30, 1994.  Although Selex had certain
         conversion  rights under the Second Selex Loan in the event the Company
         sold any Common  Stock or  Preferred  Stock prior to payment in full of
         all amounts due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan,  such rights were
         voided. The Second Selex Loan was satisfied on May 22, 1995 through the
         closing of the Second Conquistador Acquisition, discussed below.

         From July 9, 1993 through  December 31, 1993,  Selex loaned the Company
         an additional $4,400,000 collateralized by a second mortgage on certain
         of the  Company's  property on which Selex  and/or  Yasawa hold a first
         mortgage  pursuant  to  a  Loan  Agreement  dated  July  14,  1993  and
         amendments thereto (the "Third Selex Loan"). The Third Selex Loan bears
         interest at 11% per annum,  with interest  deferred  until December 31,
         1993.  Principal  is to be repaid at $3,000 per lot for lots  requiring
         release from the mortgage, with the entire unpaid principal balance and
         interest  accruing  from  January  1,  1994 to April  30,  1994 due and
         payable  on  April  30,  1994.  The  Second  Conquistador  Acquisition,
         discussed  below,  closed on May 22, 1995,  provided a reduction of the
         debt due and payable  under the Third Selex Loan.  As of June 30, 1997,
         the remaining  balance of $4,323,000 in principal and accrued  interest
         remained unpaid and in default.

         In February,  1994,  Yasawa loaned the Company an additional  amount of
         approximately $514,900 at an interest rate of 8% per annum (the "Second
         Yasawa Loan"). Since May, 1994, additional amounts were advanced to the
         Company  under the  Second  Yasawa  Loan to enable  the  Company to pay
         certain  essential  expenses,  including payment of certain real estate
         taxes,  and  effectuate   settlements  with  the  Company's   principal
         creditors.  As of June 30, 1997, an aggregate  amount of $6,012,000 had
         been  advanced  to the  Company  under the Second  Yasawa  Loan and the
         balance of $6,994,000 in principal and accrued interest remains unpaid.

         On May 22, 1995,  the Company  closed a transaction  with  Conquistador
         (the   "Second   Conquistador   Acquisition")   for  the   sale  of  an
         administration  building and a  multi-family  site in the Company's St.
         Augustine  Shores  community as well as the  remaining lot inventory in
         the Company's FeatherNest community at Marion Oaks in consideration for
         the satisfaction of $2,599,300 of principal and accrued interest on the
         Second and Third  Selex  Loans.  In a separate  transaction  which also
         closed on the same date, the Company sold to  Conquistador  (the "Third
         Conquistador  Acquisition")  four single family residential lots in the
         St. Augustine Shores community for $100,000 in cash. These transactions
         were  accounted for in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
         principals for these types of related party transactions.  Accordingly,
         the  resulting  gain of  $1,900,000  was treated as a  contribution  of
         capital and recorded directly to capital surplus.

         As  previously  stated,  Messrs.  Muyres  and  Zwaans  also  served  as
         directors and executive officers of M&M First Coast Realty ("M&M"). The
         Company had leased  certain  office  space to M&M at its St.  Augustine
         Shores community pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated August 10, 1990. A
         payment of approximately $21,300 in delinquent rental payments was made
         on  May  22,  1995  upon  the   closing  of  the  Second   Conquistador
         Acquisition,   which   included   the   sale  of  the   St.   Augustine
         Administration Building.

         At December  31,  1995,  $4,200,000  of accrued  interest due to Selex,
         Yasawa and their  affiliates was  reclassified as non-interest  bearing
         principal.  Through June 30, 1997,  $1,140,000  in principal was repaid
         under the First Selex Loan through the exercise of the above  described
         Option,  the  Second  Selex  Loan was  repaid  in full,  $1,380,900  in
         principal  was repaid  under the Third  Selex  Loan,  and  $135,900  in
         principal and $346,000 in accrued  interest was repaid under the Yasawa
         loan.  As of June 30,  1997,  the  Company had loans  outstanding  from
         Selex,   Yasawa  and  their  affiliates  in  the  aggregate  amount  of
         approximately  $25,064,000,  including  interest,  all of which  are in
         default,  including approximately  $9,166,000,  which is owed to Selex,
         including  accrued and unpaid interest of  approximately  $972,000 (10%
         per annum on the First  Selex  Loan,  11% per annum on the Third  Selex
         Loan  and  12%  per  annum  on the  Empire  Note  assigned  to  Selex);
         approximately

<PAGE>



         $13,619,000,  which is owed to  Yasawa,  including  accrued  and unpaid
         interest of approximately  $1,450,000 (11% per annum on the Yasawa Loan
         and  8% per  annum  on  the  Second  Yasawa  Loan);  and  approximately
         $2,278,000,  which is owed to an affiliate of Yasawa, including accrued
         and unpaid  interest of  approximately  $274,000  (12% per annum).  The
         loans  from  Selex,   Yasawa  and  their   affiliates  are  secured  by
         substantially all of the assets of the Company.


(d)  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         Homesite sales  contracts  provide for the return of all monies paid in
         (including  paid-in  interest) should the Company be unable to meet its
         contractual  obligations  after the use of reasonable  diligence.  If a
         refund is made,  the Company will recover the related  homesite and any
         improvement  thereto.  The  aggregate  amount  of all  monies  paid  in
         (including   paid-in   interest)  on  all  homesite   contracts  having
         outstanding    contractual    obligations    (primarily   to   complete
         improvements) at June 30, 1997 was approximately $5,163,000.

         As a result  of the  delays  in  completing  the land  improvements  to
         certain  property  sold in certain  of its  Central  and North  Florida
         communities,  the  Company  fell  behind  in  meeting  its  contractual
         obligations  to its  customers.  In connection  with these delays,  the
         Company,  in  February,  1980,  entered  into a Consent  Order with the
         Division which provided a program for notifying affected customers. The
         Consent Order,  which was restated and amended,  provided a program for
         notifying   affected   customers  of  the  anticipated  delays  in  the
         completion  of   improvements   (or,  in  the  case  of  purchasers  of
         unbuildable  lots  in  certain  areas  of  the  Company's  Sunny  Hills
         community, the transfer of development obligations to core growth areas
         of the  community);  various  options which may be selected by affected
         purchasers;  a schedule  for  completing  certain  improvements;  and a
         deferral of the  obligation to install  water mains until  requested by
         the  purchaser.  Under an  agreement  with  Topeka  Group  Incorporated
         ("Topeka"),  which purchased the Company's  utilities in 1989, Topeka's
         utility  companies have agreed to furnish utility service to the future
         residents of the Company's  communities on substantially the same basis
         as such services  were provided by the Company.  The Consent Order also
         required  the  establishment  of  an  improvement   escrow  account  as
         assurance for completing such improvement obligations.

         In June, 1992, the Company entered into the 1992 Consent Order with the
         Division,  which replaced and superseded the original Consent Order, as
         amended  and  restated.  Among other  things,  the 1992  Consent  Order
         consolidated the Company's  development  obligations and provided for a
         reduction in its required  monthly  escrow  obligation to $175,000 from
         September,  1992 through December,  1993.  Beginning January,  1994 and
         until  development  is completed or the 1992 Consent  Order is amended,
         the Company is required to deposit  $430,000  per month into the escrow
         account. As part of the assurance program under the 1992 Consent Order,
         the  Company and its  lenders  granted  the  Division a lien on certain
         receivables  and  future  receivables.  The  Company  defaulted  on its
         obligation to escrow $430,000 per month for the period of January, 1994
         through the present and, in  accordance  with the 1992  Consent  Order,
         collections  on Division  receivables  were escrowed for the benefit of
         purchasers  from March 1, 1994 through April 30, 1994. In May, 1994 the
         Company  implemented a program to exchange purchasers who contracted to
         purchase  property which is undeveloped to property which is developed.
         As of June 30, 1997,  approximately 84% of the customers whose lots are
         currently   undeveloped  have  opted  to  exchange  or  were  otherwise
         resolved. Consequently, the Division has allowed the Company to utilize
         collections on receivables since May 1, 1994.  Because of the Company's
         default,  the Division  could also exercise  other  available  remedies
         under the 1992 Consent  Order,  which  remedies  entitle the  Division,
         among other things, to halt all sales of registered property.

         The Company's goal is to eliminate its development obligation (with the
         exception of its maintenance  obligation in Marion Oaks) under the 1992
         Consent Order through this exchange program. All remaining  maintenance
         and  improvements  obligations in Citrus Springs were settled through a
         final agreement with Citrus County. Pursuant to the 1992 Consent Order,
         the Company has  limited the sale of  single-family  lots to lots which
         front on a paved street and are ready for immediate building.

         The Company's  corporate  performance bonds to assure the completion of
         development at its St. Augustine Shores community  expired in March and
         June,  1993. Such bonds cannot be renewed due to a change in the policy
         of the  Board  of  County  Commissioners  of  St.  Johns  County  which
         precludes   allowing  any  developer  to  secure  the   performance  of
         development  obligations  by the  issuance of corporate  bonds.  In the
         event that St. Johns County elects to undertake the  completion of such
         development  work, the Company would be obligated with respect to 1,000
         unimproved lots at St.  Augustine Shores in the amount of approximately
         $6,200,000.  The  Company  intends to submit an  alternative  assurance
         program for the completion of such  development and improvements to the
         County for its approval.

         In  addition  to the  matters  discussed  above  and  in  Note 9 to the
         Company's  Consolidated  Financial Statements included in the Company's
         Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1996,  the
         Company is a party to other  litigation  relating to the conduct of its
         business  which is routine in nature and, in the opinion of management,
         should have no material effect upon the Company's operation.


(e)      CAPITALIZED INTEREST

         The  Company  capitalizes  interest  cost  incurred  during a project's
         construction  period.  Of the total  interest cost incurred of $918,000
         and $863,000,  none was capitalized for the three months ended June 30,
         1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively.


(f)      EARNINGS OR LOSS PER SHARE

         Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share were computed by
         dividing net income (loss) by the weighted  average number of shares of
         Common  Stock and common  stock  equivalents  outstanding  during  each
         period.  The earnings (loss) and the average number of shares of Common
         Stock and common stock equivalents used to calculate earnings per share
         for the six  months  ended  June  30,  1997  and  June  30,  1996  were
         $(603,000) and  $(583,000)  and 6,734,932 and 6,726,042,  respectively,
         and for the  second  quarters  of 1997 and  1996  were  $(174,000)  and
         $(179,000) and 6,734,939 and 6,729,142, respectively.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


On June 19, 1992, the Company completed a transaction with Selex, which resulted
in a change in control of the Company.  Under the transaction,  Selex loaned the
Company  $3,000,000  collateralized  by a  first  mortgage  on  certain  of  the
Company's  property in its St. Augustine  Shores,  Florida community (the "First
Selex Loan").  The First Selex Loan initially  bears interest at the rate of 10%
per annum with a term of four years and  payment of  interest  deferred  for the
first 18 months.

In  conjunction  with the  First  Selex  Loan:  (i)  Empire  of  Carolina,  Inc.
("Empire")  sold Selex its 2,220,066  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock and
assigned Selex its $1,000,000  Note from the Company,  with $225,000 of interest
accrued thereon;  (ii) Maurice A. Halperin,  Chairman of the Board of Empire and
former  Chairman of the Board of the  Company,  forgave  payment of the $200,000
salary due him for the period of April,  1990 through April,  1991, which was in
arrears;  and (iii) certain changes occurred in the composition of the Company's
Board of Directors. Namely, the six directors serving on the Company's Board who
were previously  designated by Empire resigned and four Selex designees (Messrs.
Marcellus H.B. Muyres,  Antony Gram,  Cornelis van de Peppel and Cornelis L.J.J.
Zwaans) were elected to serve as directors in their stead. Marcellus H.B. Muyres
was appointed  Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
These directors,  as well as Leonardus G.M.  Nipshagen,  a Selex designee,  were
then elected as directors at the  Company's  1992 Annual  Meeting.  In November,
1995, Messrs.  Muyres, van de Peppel,  Nipshagen and Zwaans resigned their board
seats.

As part of the Selex transaction,  Selex was granted an option,  approved by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock at
the  Company's  1992 Annual  Meeting,  to convert the Selex Loan, or any portion
thereof, into a maximum of 850,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a per
share  conversion  price  equal to the  greater  of (i) $1.25 or (ii) 95% of the
market price of the Company's Common Stock at the time of conversion,  but in no
event  greater than $4.50 per share (the  "Option").  However,  on September 14,
1992, Selex formally waived and relinquished its right to exercise the Option as
to 250,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock to enable the Company to settle
certain  litigation  involving the Company through the issuance of approximately
250,000  shares  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock  to  the  claimants,  without
jeopardizing  the utilization of the Company's net operating loss  carryforward.
On February 17, 1994, Selex exercised the remaining full 600,000 share Option at
a conversion  price of $1.90 per share,  such that  $1,140,000  in principal was
repaid under the First Selex Loan through such  conversion.  As a consequence of
such  conversion,  Selex holds  2,820,066  shares of the Company's  Common Stock
(41.9% of the  outstanding  shares of Common Stock of the Company based upon the
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 1997).

Pursuant to the Selex  transaction,  $1,000,000  of the proceeds  from the First
Selex  Loan  was  used  by  the  Company  to  acquire  certain   commercial  and
multi-family properties at the Company's St. Augustine Shores community at their
net  appraised  value,  from Mr.  Muyres and certain  entities  affiliated  with
Messrs.  Zwaans  and  Muyres.  Namely,  (i)  $416,000  was  used to  acquire  48
undeveloped  condominium  units (twelve 4 unit  building  sites) and 4 completed
(and rented)  condominium units from Conquistador,  in which Messrs.  Zwaans and
Muyres  served  as  directors,  as well as  President  and  Secretary/Treasurer,
respectively;  (ii)  $485,000  was used to acquire 4  commercial  lots from Swan
Development  Corporation ("Swan"), in which Messrs. Zwaans and Muyres also serve
as  directors,  as well as  President  and  Secretary,  respectively;  and (iii)
approximately $99,000 was used to reacquire, from Mr. Muyres, all of his rights,
title and interest in a certain  contract with the Company for the purchase of a
commercial tract in St. Augustine Shores,  Florida.  None of the commercial land
and  multi-family  property  acquired by the Company from Mr. Muyres and certain
entities  affiliated  with Messrs.  Zwaans and Muyres  collateralizes  the First
Selex Loan.  In March,  1994,  Conquistador  exercised  its right to  repurchase
certain of the  multi-family  property  from the Company  (which  right had been
granted in connection with the June,  1992  transaction) at a price of $312,000,
of which  $260,000  was paid in cash to the  Company  and $52,000 was applied to
reduce   interest  due  to  Selex  under  the  Second  Selex  Loan  (the  "First
Conquistador Acquisition").

In December,  1992, Mr. Gram, a director of the Company and beneficial  owner of
the Common  Stock of the Company held by Selex,  acquired  all of the  Company's
outstanding  bank debt and then  assigned  same to Yasawa,  of which Mr. Gram is
also  the  beneficial  owner.  Yasawa  simultaneously   completed  a  series  of
transactions  with the Company which  involved the transfer of certain assets to
Yasawa or its affiliated companies,  the acquisition by Yasawa of 289,637 shares
of the Company's  Common Stock through the exercise of warrants  previously held
by the banks,  the  provision of a $1,500,000  line of credit to the Company and
the  restructuring  of the  remaining  debt as a  $5,106,000  Yasawa  Loan.  The
principal balance of the Yasawa Loan is $4,765,000 as of June 30, 1997. On April
30, 1993, Selex loaned the Company an additional  amount of $1,000,000  pursuant
to the  Second  Selex  Loan and since  July 1, 1993  made  further  loans to the
Company aggregating $4,400,000 under the Third Selex Loan. The Second Selex Loan
has been  satisfied and principal of $1,380,900  has been repaid under the Third
Selex Loan  through June 30,  1997.  As of June 30, 1997,  Yasawa has loaned the
Company an additional sum of $6,012,000 pursuant to the Second Yasawa Loan. As a
consequence  of these  transactions,  as of June 30, 1997, the Company had loans
outstanding  from Selex,  Yasawa and their affiliates in the aggregate amount of
approximately $25,064,000, including interest.

On May 22, 1995, the Company closed a transaction with Conquistador (the "Second
Conquistador  Acquisition")  for the sale of an  administration  building  and a
multi-family site in the Company's St. Augustine Shores community as well as the
remaining lot inventory in the Company's FeatherNest community at Marion Oaks in
consideration  for the  satisfaction  of  $2,599,300  of  principal  and accrued
interest  on the  Second and Third  Selex  Loans.  On that same  date,  but in a
separate  transaction,   the  Company  also  sold  to  Conquistador  Development
Corporation   (the  "Third   Conquistador   Acquisition")   four  single  family
residential  lots in the St.  Augustine  Shores  community for $100,000 in cash.
These  transactions  were accounted for in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting   principals   for  these  types  of  related   party   transactions.
Accordingly,  the resulting gain of $1,900,000 was treated as a contribution  of
capital and recorded directly to capital surplus.  The loans from Selex,  Yasawa
and their  affiliates  are  secured  by  substantially  all of the assets of the
Company. See Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

On March 10, 1994,  the Company was advised that Selex filed an Amendment to its
Schedule 13D with the  Commission.  In the  Amendment,  Selex  reported that it,
together  with Yasawa and their  affiliates,  were  uncertain as to whether they
would provide any further funds to the Company.  The  Amendment  further  stated
that Selex,  Yasawa and their  affiliates  were seeking third parties to provide
financing for the Company and that as part of any such  transaction,  they would
be willing  to sell or  restructure  all or a portion of their  loans and Common
Stock in the Company.

The Company, Selex and Yasawa entered into loan modification agreements in which
all accrued interest was converted into  non-interest  bearing  principal at the
earlier of the maturity date or the default date.  Accordingly,  at December 31,
1995,  $4,200,000 of accrued interest was  reclassified as principal.  The loans
were also modified to formalize  the  elimination  of the default  interest rate
provisions in each of the applicable loan agreements.

The Company has stated in previous  filings with the  Commission  and  elsewhere
herein that the  obtainment  of  additional  funds to  implement  its  marketing
program and achieve the  objectives  of its business plan is essential to enable
the Company to  maintain  operations  and  continue  as a going  concern.  Since
December, 1992, the Company has been dependent on loans and advances from Selex,
Yasawa and their  affiliates  in order to implement  its  marketing  program and
assist in meeting its working capital requirements. As previously stated, during
the last nine  months of 1993,  Selex,  Yasawa and their  affiliates  loaned the
Company an aggregate of $4,400,000  pursuant to Third Selex Loan. Funds advanced
under the Third Selex Loan enabled the Company to commence implementation of the
majority  of its  marketing  program  in the  third  quarter  of 1993.  The full
benefits of the program  were not realized in 1993 and the Company was unable to
secure  financing in 1994 to meet its working capital  requirements and continue
its marketing program. Commencing in 1994, Yasawa advanced additional funds (the
"Second  Yasawa  Loan")  totaling  $6,012,000  as of June 30, 1997,  to meet the
Company's minimum working capital  requirements,  to pay a portion of delinquent
real estate taxes, to pay settlements with certain trade creditors and to settle
certain litigation.

As a consequence of its liquidity position, the Company has defaulted on certain
obligations,  including  its  previously  described  escrow  obligations  to the
Division pursuant to the Company's 1992 Consent Order and its obligation to make
required  payments  under  loans  from  Selex,   Yasawa  and  their  affiliates.
Furthermore, the Company has not paid

                                       12

<PAGE>



delinquent real estate taxes which aggregate approximately $3,345,000 as of June
30,  1997;  non-payment  of these  delinquent  taxes may  adversely  affect  the
financial condition of the Company.

The Company is continuing to seek third parties to provide financing.  There can
be  no  assurance,   however,   that  additional  financing  will  be  obtained,
accordingly,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  is  also  considering  other
appropriate  action  given the  severity  of the  Company's  liquidity  position
including,  but  not  limited,  to  filing  for  protection  under  the  federal
bankruptcy laws.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996.

Revenues
--------

Total  revenues  were  $4,363,000  for the first six months of 1997  compared to
$4,268,000 for the comparable 1996 period.  For the second quarter of 1997 total
revenues were $2,291,000 compared to $2,251,000 for the comparable 1996 period.

Gross  land  sales  were  $3,165,000  for the  first six  months of 1997  versus
$3,274,000  for the first six months of 1996.  Net land sales  (gross land sales
less estimated uncollectible  installment sales and contract valuation discount)
decreased to $2,091,000 for the first six months of 1997 from $2,121,000 for the
first six months of 1996.  For the three  months  ended  June 30,  1997 net land
sales decreased to $962,000 from $1,073,000 for the comparable year ago period.

There were no bulk land sales for the first six months of 1997 or 1996. In light
of the Company's diminished bulk land sales inventory it is anticipated that the
Company will produce a negligible  volume of bulk land sales. See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources -- Mortgages and Similar Debt".

Housing  revenues  were $562,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared
to $607,000 for the same period in 1996.  Housing revenues  decreased due to the
lack of working capital to fund an advertising and promotional program. Revenues
are not recognized from housing sales until the completion of  construction  and
passage of title.

The  following  table  reflects the  Company's  real estate  product mix for the
periods indicated (in thousands):

 *   New retail land sales contracts entered into,  including

     price,  net of  cancellations,  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 and
     June 30, 1996 were $2,856,000 and $3,657,000,  respectively, and $1,168,000
     and $1,922,000 for the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The

     of June 30,  1997.  Such  contracts  are not  included in retail land sales

Improvement  revenues  result from  recognition of revenues  deferred from prior
period sales.  Recognition occurs as development work proceeds on the previously
sold property or customers are exchanged to a developed lot. Improvement

revenues  totaled  $761,000 for the first six months of 1997  ($577,000  for the
second quarter  1997),  as compared to $647,000 for the first six months of 1996
($515,000  for  the  second  quarter  1996).  Due  to  the  Company's  financial
condition, the Company has done minimal development work in the last two year.

Interest  income was  $679,000  for the first six months of 1997 as  compared to
$537,000 for the first six months of 1996. This increase is the result of higher
contracts  receivable  balances.  For the  second  quarters  of 1997  and  1996,
interest income was $349,000 and $293,000, respectively.

Other  revenues  were  $270,000 as compared to $356,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996,  respectively.  For the second quarters of 1997
and 1996,  other  revenues  were  $162,000  and  $126,000,  respectively.  Other
revenues for 1997 were generated  principally by the Company's  title  insurance
and real estate brokerage  subsidiaries.  In 1996 the Company recorded a gain of
approximately  $136,000  representing  contracts  receivables  returned  to  the
Company from a previous sale of receivables.

$863,000  for the first six  months of 1996.  Interest  expense  for the  second
quarter of 1997 was  $461,000,  compared to $441,000  for the second  quarter of
1996. No interest has been capitalized since the first quarter of 1994 since the
Company did minimal land development work at its communities.


Net Income (Loss)
-----------------

The Company  reported a net loss of $603,000  for the six months  ended June 30,

Regulatory Developments which may affect Future Operations
----------------------------------------------------------

In Florida,  as in many growth areas,  local governments have sought to limit or
control  population  growth in their  communities  through  restrictive  zoning,
density reduction,  the imposition of impact fees and more stringent development
requirements.  Although the Company has taken such factors into consideration in
its master plans,  the  increased  regulation  has  lengthened  the  development
process and added to development costs.

On a statewide  level,  the Florida  Legislature  adopted  and  implemented  the
Florida  Growth  Management  Act of 1985 (the  "Act")  to aid local  governments
efforts to  discourage  uncontrolled  growth in Florida.  The Act  precludes the
issuance  of  development  orders  or  permits  if  public  facilities  such  as
transportation,  water and sewer services will not be available  concurrent with
development.  Development  orders  have been  issued for,  and  development  has
commenced  in,  the  Company's  existing  communities  (with  development  being
virtually completed in certain of these communities). Thus, such communities are
less  likely to be affected by the new growth  management  policies  than future
communities.  Any future  communities  developed by the Company will be strongly
impacted by new growth management  policies.  Since the Act and its implications
are consistently being re-examined by the State, together with local governments
and various state and local  governmental  agencies,  the Company cannot further
predict  the  timing  or the  effect  of new  growth  management  policies,  but
anticipates  that such  policies  may  increase  the  Company's  permitting  and
development costs.

In addition to Florida,  other  jurisdictions in which the Company's  properties
are  offered  for  sale  have   recently   strengthened,   or  are   considering
strengthening,  their regulation of subdividers and subdivided lands in order to
provide  further  assurances  to the  public,  particularly  given  the  adverse
publicity  surrounding  the  industry  which  existed in 1990.  The  Company has
attempted  to take  appropriate  steps to  modify  its  marketing  programs  and
registration  applications  in the face of such  increased  regulation,  but has
incurred  additional  costs  and  delays  in the  marketing  of  certain  of its
properties  in certain  states and  countries.  For  example,  the  Company  has
complied with  regulations of certain states which require that the Company sell
its  properties  to residents  of those  states  pursuant to a deed and mortgage
transaction,  regardless of the amount of the down payment.  The Company intends
to continue to monitor any  changes in  statutes or  regulations  affecting,  or
anticipated  to  affect,  the sale of its  properties  and  intends  to take all
necessary and  reasonable  action to assure that its properties and its proposed
marketing programs are in compliance with such regulations,  but there can be no
assurance  that the Company  will be able to timely  comply with all  regulatory
changes in all  jurisdictions  in which the Company's  properties  are presently
offered for sale to the public.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------


Mortgages and Similar Debt
--------------------------

Indebtedness  under various  purchase  money  mortgages  and loan  agreements is
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets,  including stock of
certain wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company, Selex and Yasawa entered into loan modification agreements in which
all accrued interest was converted into  non-interest  bearing  principal at the
earlier of the maturity date or the default date.  Accordingly,  at December 31,
1996,  $4,200,000 of accrued interest was  reclassified as non-interest  bearing
principal.  The loans were also  modified to formalize  the  elimination  of the
default interest rate provisions in each of the applicable loan agreements.

The following table presents  information  with respect to mortgages and similar
debt (in thousands):

Included in Mortgage  Notes Payable is the First Selex Loan of  $2,722,000,  the
Third Selex Loan of  $3,816,000,  the Yasawa Loan of  $5,829,000  and the Second
Yasawa Loan of $6,340,000.  Other loans include the  $1,656,000  Empire note and
the $2,005,000 Scafholding Loan.

These  mortgage  notes payable and other loans are in default as of June 30,1997
due to the non-payment of principal and interest. The lenders have not taken any
other action as a result of these defaults.

On June 19, 1992, Selex loaned the Company the sum of $3,000,000 pursuant to the
First Selex Loan. The First Selex Loan is  collateralized by a first mortgage on
certain of the  Company's  unsold,  undeveloped  property  in its St.  Augustine
Shores,  Florida  community.  The Loan matures on June 15, 1996 and provides for
principal  to be repaid at 50% of the net  proceeds  per lot for lots  requiring
release  from the  mortgage,  with the entire  unpaid  balance  becoming due and
payable at the end of the four year term.  It  initially  bears  interest at the
rate of 10% per annum,  with  payment of  interest  deferred  for the initial 18
months of the Loan and interest  payments due quarterly  thereafter.  As part of
the Selex transaction, Selex was granted an option, approved by the holders of a
majority  of  the  outstanding  shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock  at the
Company's 1992 Annual Meeting, which, as modified,  enabled Selex to convert the
First Selex Loan, or any portion  thereof,  into a maximum of 600,000  shares of
the Company's  Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to the greater
of (i) $1.25 or (ii) 95% of the market  price of the  Company's  Common Stock at
the time of  conversion,  but in no event  greater  than  $4.50 per  share  (the
"Option").  On February 17, 1994,  Selex  exercised  the Option,  in full,  at a
conversion  price of $1.90 per share,  such that  $1,140,000  in  principal  was
repaid under the First Selex Loan through such  conversion.  As of June 30,1997,
the Company was in default of the First Selex Loan.

One million  dollars of the  proceeds  from the First Selex Loan was used by the
Company  to  acquire  certain  commercial  and  multi-family  properties  at the
Company's St. Augustine Shores community at their net appraised value,  from Mr.
Muyres and certain entities affiliated with Messrs.  Zwaans and Muyres.  Namely,
(i) $416,000 was used to acquire 48 undeveloped condominium units (twelve 4 unit
building sites) and 4 completed (and rented) condominium units from Conquistador
Development  Corporation  ("Conquistador"),  in which Messrs.  Zwaans and Muyres
serve as directors, as well as President and Secretary/Treasurer,  respectively;
(ii) $485,000 was used to acquire 4 commercial  lots from Swan, in which Messrs.
Zwaans and Muyres also served as directors,  as well as President and Secretary,
respectively;  and (iii) approximately  $99,000 was used to reacquire,  from Mr.
Muyres, all of his rights, title and interest in that certain contracts with the
Company for the purchase of a commercial tract in St. Augustine Shores, Florida.
None of the commercial and  multi-family  property  acquired by the Company from
Mr.  Muyres and  certain  entities  affiliated  with  Messrs.  Zwaans and Muyres
collateralizes the First Selex Loan. In March, 1994,  Conquistador exercised its
right to repurchase certain multi-family  property from the Company (which right
had been granted in connection with the June, 1992 Selex transaction) at a price
of $312,000,  of which  $260,000 was paid in cash to the Company and $52,000 was
applied to reduce  interest due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan (the "First
Conquistador Acquisition").

On December 2, 1992,  the Company  entered into various  agreements  relating to
certain of its assets and the  restructuring  of its debt with Yasawa,  which is
beneficially  owned by Mr. Antony Gram. The  consummation  of these  agreements,
which are further  described  below, was conditioned upon the acquisition by Mr.
Gram of the Company's outstanding bank loan.

On December 4, 1992,  Mr.  Gram  entered  into an  agreement  with the  lenders,
pursuant  to  which  he  acquired  the bank  loan of  approximately  $25,150,000
(including  interest and fees) for a price of $10,750,000.  In conjunction  with
such  transaction,  the lenders  transferred to Mr. Gram the warrants which they
held that entitled the holder to purchase an aggregate of 277,387  shares of the
Company's  Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of $1.00 per share.  Immediately
after the acquisition of the bank loan, Mr. Gram transferred all of his interest
in the bank loan, including the warrants, to Yasawa.

On December 11, 1992, the Company  consummated  the December 2, 1992  agreements
with Yasawa.  Under these  agreements,  Yasawa,  its  affiliates and the Company
agreed as follows:  (i) the Company sold certain  property at its Citrus Springs
community to an affiliate of Yasawa in exchange for approximately  $6,500,000 of
debt reduction credit; (ii) an

                                       16

<PAGE>



affiliate of Yasawa and the Company entered into a joint venture  agreement with
respect to the Citrus Springs property, providing for the Company to market such
property and receive an administration fee from the venture (in March, 1994, the
Company and the affiliate  agreed to terminate  the venture);  (iii) the Company
sold certain  contracts  receivable  at face value to an affiliate of Yasawa for
debt reduction  credit of approximately  $10,800,000;  (iv) the Company sold the
Marco  Shores  Country  Club and Golf  Course to an  affiliate  of Yasawa for an
aggregate  sales price of  $5,500,000,  with the affiliate  assuming an existing
first  mortgage  of  approximately  $1,100,000  and the Company  receiving  debt
reduction  credit of  $2,400,000,  such that the Company  obtained cash proceeds
from this transaction of $2,000,000,  which amount was used for working capital;
(v) an  affiliate of Yasawa  agreed to lease the Marco  Shores  Country Club and
Golf  Course to the  Company  for a period of  approximately  one year;  (vi) an
affiliate of Yasawa and the Company agreed to amend the terms of the warrants to
increase the number of shares  issuable upon their  exercise from 277,387 shares
to  289,637  shares  and  to  adjust  the  exercise  price  to an  aggregate  of
approximately $314,000; (vii) Yasawa exercised the warrants in exchange for debt
reduction  credit of  approximately  $314,000;  (viii) Yasawa  released  certain
collateral held for the bank loan; (ix) an affiliate of Yasawa agreed to make an
additional  loan of up to $1,500,000 to the Company,  thus providing the Company
with a future line of credit (all of which was drawn and  outstanding as of June
30,  1997);  and (x)  Yasawa  agreed to  restructure  the  payment  terms of the
remaining $5,106,000 of the bank loan as a loan from Yasawa (the "Yasawa Loan").

The Yasawa  Loan bears  interest at the rate of 11% per annum,  with  payment of
interest  deferred until December 31, 1993,  when only accrued  interest  became
payable.  Commencing  January 31, 1994,  principal and interest  became  payable
monthly, with all unpaid principal and accrued interest being due and payable on
December 31,  1997.  As of June 30, 1997,  $6,625,000  in principal  and accrued
interest was in default under the Yasawa Loan.

On  April  30,  1993  Selex   loaned  the  Company  an   additional   $1,000,000
collateralized  by a first mortgage on certain of the Company's  property in its
Marion Oaks,  Florida  community  (the "Second Selex Loan").  Interest under the
Second Selex Loan was 11% per annum,  deferred  until  December  31,  1993,  and
principal was to be repaid at $3,000 per lot for lots requiring release from the
mortgage,  with the entire unpaid principal  balance and interest  accruing from
January 1, 1994 to April 30,  1994 due and payable on April 30,  1994.  Although
Selex had certain conversion rights under the Second Selex Loan in the event the
Company sold any Common Stock or Preferred Stock prior to payment in full of all
amounts due to Selex under the Second Selex Loan,  such rights were voided.  The
Second  Selex Loan was  satisfied  on May 22,  1995  through  the closing of the
Second Conquistador Acquisition, discussed below.

From July 9, 1993  through  December  31,  1993,  Selex  loaned  the  Company an
additional  $4,400,000  collateralized  by a second  mortgage  on certain of the
Company's  property on which Selex and/or Yasawa hold a first mortgage  pursuant
to a Loan Agreement dated July 14, 1993 and amendments thereto (the "Third Selex
Loan").  The Third  Selex Loan bears  interest at 11% per annum,  with  interest
deferred  until  December 31, 1993.  Principal is to be repaid at $3,000 per lot
for lots requiring  release from the mortgage,  with the entire unpaid principal
balance and  interest  accruing  from  January 1, 1994 to April 30, 1994 due and
payable on April 30, 1994. The Second Conquistador Acquisition, discussed below,
closed on May 22, 1995,  provided a reduction of the debt due and payable  under
the Third Selex Loan. As of June 30, 1997,  the remaining  balance of $4,323,000
in principal and accrued interest remained unpaid and in default.

In  February,   1994,   Yasawa  loaned  the  Company  an  additional  amount  of
approximately  $514,900 at an interest rate of 8% per annum (the "Second  Yasawa
Loan").  Since May, 1994,  additional amounts were advanced to the Company under
the Second Yasawa Loan to enable the Company to pay certain essential  expenses,
including payment of certain real estate taxes, and effectuate  settlements with
the Company's principal  creditors.  As of June 30, 1997, an aggregate amount of
$6,012,000 had been advanced to the Company under the Second Yasawa Loan and the
balance of $6,994,000 in principal and accrued interest remains unpaid.

On May 22, 1995, the Company closed a transaction with Conquistador (the "Second
Conquistador  Acquisition")  for the sale of an  administration  building  and a
multi-family site in the Company's St. Augustine Shores community as well as the
remaining lot inventory in the Company's FeatherNest community at Marion Oaks in
consideration  for the  satisfaction  of  $2,599,300  of  principal  and accrued
interest on the Second and Third Selex Loans.  In a separate  transaction  which
also  closed on the same date,  the  Company  sold to  Conquistador  (the "Third
Conquistador Acquisition") four single family

                                       17

<PAGE>



residential  lots in the St.  Augustine  Shores  community for $100,000 in cash.
These  transactions  were accounted for in accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting   principals   for  these  types  of  related   party   transactions.
Accordingly,  the resulting gain of $1,900,000 was treated as a contribution  of
capital and recorded directly to capital surplus.

As  previously  stated,  Messrs.  Muyres and Zwaans also served as directors and
executive  officers of M&M First Coast  Realty  ("M&M").  The Company had leased
certain office space to M&M at its St. Augustine Shores community  pursuant to a
Lease  Agreement  dated August 10, 1990. A payment of  approximately  $21,300 in
delinquent  rental  payments  was made on May 22,  1995 upon the  closing of the
Second Conquistador Acquisition, which included the sale of the St.
Augustine Administration Building.

At December 31, 1995,  $4,200,000 of accrued  interest due to Selex,  Yasawa and
their affiliates was reclassified as non-interest bearing principal.  As of June
30,  1997,  the  Company  had loans  outstanding  from  Selex,  Yasawa and their
affiliates  in the  aggregate  amount of  approximately  $25,064,000,  including
interest, all of which are in default, including approximately $9,166,000, which
is owed to  Selex,  including  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  of  approximately
$972,000  (10% per annum on the  First  Selex  Loan,  11% per annum on the Third
Selex  Loan  and  12%  per  annum  on  the  Empire  Note   assigned  to  Selex);
approximately $13,619,000, which is owed to Yasawa, including accrued and unpaid
interest of  approximately  $1,450,000  (11% per annum on the Yasawa Loan and 8%
per annum on the Second Yasawa Loan);  and  approximately  $2,278,000,  which is
owed to an  affiliate  of  Yasawa,  including  accrued  and unpaid  interest  of
approximately  $274,000 (12% per annum). The loans from Selex,  Yasawa and their
affiliates are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

On March 10, 1994,  the Company was advised that Selex filed an Amendment to its
Schedule 13D filed with the  Commission.  In the Amendment,  Selex reported that
it, together with Yasawa and their affiliates, were uncertain as to whether they
would provide any further funds to the Company.  The  Amendment  further  stated
that Selex,  Yasawa and their  affiliates  were seeking third parties to provide
financing for the Company and that as part of any such  transaction,  they would
be willing  to sell or  restructure  all or a portion of their  loans and Common
Stock in the Company.

The Company has stated in previous  filings with the  Commission  and  elsewhere
herein that the  obtainment  of  additional  funds to  implement  its  marketing
program and achieve the  objectives  of its business plan is essential to enable
the Company to  maintain  operations  and  continue  as a going  concern.  Since
December, 1992, the Company has been dependent on loans and advances from Selex,
Yasawa and their  affiliates  in order to implement  its  marketing  program and
assist in meeting its working capital requirements. As previously stated, during
the last nine  months of 1993,  Selex,  Yasawa and their  affiliates  loaned the
Company an aggregate of $4,400,000  pursuant to Third Selex Loan. Funds advanced
under the Third Selex Loan enabled the Company to commence implementation of the
majority  of its  marketing  program  in the  third  quarter  of 1993.  The full
benefits of the program  were not realized in 1993 and the Company was unable to
secure  financing in 1994 to meet its working capital  requirements and continue
its marketing program. Commencing in 1994, Yasawa advanced additional funds (the
"Second  Yasawa  Loan")  totaling  $6,012,000  as of June 30, 1997,  to meet the
Company's minimum working capital  requirements,  to pay a portion of delinquent
real estate taxes, to pay settlements with certain trade creditors and to settle
certain litigation.

As a consequence of its liquidity position, the Company has defaulted on certain
obligations,  including  its  previously  described  escrow  obligations  to the
Division pursuant to the Company's 1992 Consent Order and its obligation to make
required  payments  under  loans  from  Selex,   Yasawa  and  their  affiliates.
Furthermore,  the  Company  has not paid  delinquent  real  estate  taxes  which
aggregate  approximately  $3,345,000 as of June 30, 1997;  non-payment  of these
delinquent taxes may adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.

The Company is continuing to seek third parties to provide financing.  There can
be  no  assurance,   however,   that  additional  financing  will  be  obtained,
accordingly,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  is  also  considering  other
appropriate  action  given the  severity  of the  Company's  liquidity  position
including,  but  not  limited,  to  filing  for  protection  under  the  federal
bankruptcy laws.

         CONTRACTS AND MORTGAGES RECEIVABLE SALES


In December, 1992, as described above, the Company sold $10,800,000 of contracts
and mortgages  receivable to an affiliate of Yasawa at face value,  applying the
proceeds therefrom to reduce the Bank Loan acquired by Yasawa.

In March,  1993 the Company  transferred  $1,600,000  in contracts and mortgages
receivable generating approximately $1,059,000 in proceeds to the Company, which
was used for  working  capital  and the  creation  of a holdback  account in the
amount  $150,000.  As of June 30, 1997, the balance of the holdback  account was
approximately $118,000.

In June, 1992 and February,  1990, the Company  completed sales of contracts and
mortgages receivable totaling $13,500,000 and $17,000,000,  respectively,  which
generated approximately $8,000,000 and $13,900,000 respectively, in net proceeds
to the  Company.  The  anticipated  costs of the  June,  1992  transaction  were
included in the  extraordinary  loss from debt  restructuring for 1991 since the
restructuring was dependent on the sale. The Company recorded a loss of $600,000
on the February,  1990 sale. In conjunction with these sales the Company granted
the purchaser a security interest in certain additional  contracts receivable of
approximately  $2,700,000 and conveyed all of its rights,  title and interest in
the property  underlying  such contracts to a collateral  trustee.  In addition,
these  transactions,  among other  things  require  that the Company  replace or
repurchase any receivable  that becomes 90 days  delinquent  upon the request of
the  purchaser.  Such  requirement  can be satisfied from contracts in which the
purchaser holds a security interest (approximately $1,388,000 as of December 31,
1995). The purchaser of these receivables  experienced  financial difficulty and
filed in 1994 for protection under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. In
November 1995, the purchaser of these  receivables  sold the portfolio to Finova
Capital  Corporation.  The Company is unable to determine  what effect this will
have, if any, on future  cancellations,  since it is unable to determine how the
bankruptcy or the  subsequent  sale of the portfolio  will impact  servicing and
collection procedures and the customers'  determination to continue to pay under
those  contracts.  The Company has fully reserved for the amount of the holdback
account and the estimated future cancellations based on the Company's historical
experience for receivables the Company services. However, due to the uncertainty
noted  above,  the  Company  does not feel there is  sufficient  information  to
estimate  future  cancellations  and is unable to determine  the adequacy of its
reserves to replace or repurchase  receivables that become delinquent.  In 1996,
the Company replaced  $293,000 in delinquent  receivables.  As of June 30, 1997,
$984,000 were delinquent.

The  Company  was  the  guarantor  of  approximately   $9,041,000  of  contracts
receivable  sold  or  transferred  as of June  30,  1997,  for the  transactions
described  above, and had $118,000 on deposit with purchasers of the receivables
as  security to assure  collectibility  as of such date.  A  provision  has been
established for the Company's  obligation  under the recourse  provisions  which
$1,184,000 remains at June 30, 1997. The Company has been in compliance with all
receivable transactions since the consummation of sales.

The  Company  anticipates  that it  will be  necessary  to  complete  additional
financings of a portion of its  receivables in 1996.  There can be no assurance,
however, that such sales and/or financings can be accomplished.

         OTHER OBLIGATIONS


As a result  of the  delays  in  completing  the land  improvements  to  certain
property  sold in certain of its  Central  and North  Florida  communities,  the
Company fell behind in meeting its contractual  obligations to its customers. In
connection with these delays,  the Company,  in February,  1980,  entered into a
Consent Order with the Division which provided a program for notifying  affected
customers. The Consent Order, which was restated and amended, provided a program
for notifying  affected customers of the anticipated delays in the completion of
improvements (or, in the case of purchasers of unbuildable lots in certain areas
of the Company's Sunny Hills community,  the transfer of development obligations
to core growth areas of the community); various options which may be selected by
affected  purchasers;  a schedule for  completing  certain  improvements;  and a
deferral  of the  obligation  to install  water  mains  until  requested  by the
purchaser.  Under an agreement with Topeka Group Incorporated ("Topeka"),  which
purchased the  Company's  utilities in 1989,  Topeka's  utility  companies  have
agreed to  furnish  utility  service to the future  residents  of the  Company's
communities  on  substantially  the same basis as such services were provided by
the Company. The Consent Order also required the establishment of an improvement
escrow account as assurance for completing such improvement obligations.

In  June,  1992,  the  Company  entered  into the 1992  Consent  Order  with the
Division,  which replaced and superseded the original  Consent Order, as amended
and  restated.  Among other  things,  the 1992 Consent  Order  consolidated  the
Company's  development  obligations and provided for a reduction in its required
monthly escrow  obligation to $175,000 from  September,  1992 through  December,
1993.  Beginning  January,  1994 and until  development is completed or the 1992
Consent Order is amended,  the Company is required to deposit $430,000 per month
into the escrow account. As part of the assurance program under the 1992 Consent
Order,  the  Company  and its  lenders  granted  the  Division a lien on certain
receivables and future  receivables.  The Company defaulted on its obligation to
escrow  $430,000  per month for the period of January,  1994 through the present
and,  in  accordance  with the  1992  Consent  Order,  collections  on  Division
receivables  were  escrowed  for the  benefit of  purchasers  from March 1, 1994
through  April 30,  1994.  In May,  1994 the  Company  implemented  a program to
exchange  purchasers who contracted to purchase property which is undeveloped to
property  which is  developed.  As of June 30,  1997,  approximately  84% of the
customers  whose lots are currently  undeveloped  have opted to exchange or were
otherwise  resolved.  Consequently,  the  Division  has  allowed  the Company to
utilize  collections on receivables since May 1, 1994.  Because of the Company's
default,  the Division  could also exercise other  available  remedies under the
1992 Consent Order, which remedies entitle the Division,  among other things, to
halt all sales of registered property.

The  Company's  goal  is to  eliminate  its  development  obligation  (with  the
exception of its  maintenance  obligation in Marion Oaks) under the 1992 Consent
Order through this exchange program. All remaining  maintenance and improvements
obligations in Citrus Springs were settled through a final agreement with Citrus
County.  Pursuant to the 1992 Consent Order, the Company has limited the sale of
single-family  lots to lots  which  front on a paved  street  and are  ready for
immediate building.

The Company's continuing liquidity problems have precluded the timely payment of
the full amount of its real estate taxes.  On properties  where  customers  have
contractually  assumed the obligation to pay into a tax escrow maintained by the
Company,  the Company has and will continue to pay delinquent  real estate taxes
as monies are collected from customers. Delinquent real estate taxes aggregated
approximately $3,345,000 as of June 30, 1997.

The  Company's   corporate   performance  bonds  to  assure  the  completion  of
development at its St.  Augustine  Shores  community  expired in March and June,
1993. Such bonds cannot be renewed due to a change in the policy of the Board of
County  Commissioners of St. Johns County which precludes allowing any developer
to  secure  the  performance  of  development  obligations  by the  issuance  of
corporate  bonds.  In the event that St.  Johns County  elects to undertake  the
completion of such development work, the Company would be obligated with respect
to 1,000  unimproved lots at St. Augustine Shores in the amount of approximately
$6,200,000.  The Company intends to submit an alternative  assurance program for
the  completion  of such  development  and  improvements  to the  County for its
approval.

On September 30, 1988, the Company entered into an agreement with Citrus County,
Florida  to  establish  the  procedure  for   transferring   final   maintenance
responsibilities for roads in the Company's Citrus Springs subdivision to Citrus
County. The agreement obligated the Company to complete certain remedial work on
previously completed  improvements within the Citrus Springs subdivision by June
1, 1991.  The Company was unable to complete this work by the specified date and
negotiated  another  agreement  with  Citrus  County for the  transfer  of final
maintenance responsibility for the roads to the County. This final agreement was
entered into in May 1995. All payments to Citrus County required under the final
agreement were completed in May, 1997.

The  Company  had  placed  certain  properties  in  trust  to  meet  its  refund
obligations to Marco customers affected by the permit denials.  On September 14,
1992, the Circuit Court of Dade County, Florida approved a settlement of certain
class action  litigation  instituted  by customers  affected by the Marco permit
denials, under the terms of which the Company was required,  among other things,
to convey more than 120 acres of multi-family  and commercial land that had been
placed  in  trust  to the  trustee  of the  809  member  class.  As  part of the
settlement,  the Company  guaranteed  the amount to be realized from the sale of
the conveyed  property,  not to exceed  $2,000,000.  Such settlement enabled the
Company to resolve the claims of an additional  12.7% of its affected  customers
and  re-evaluate  the  allowance  for Marco  permit  costs.  As a result of such
analysis,  the  Company  was  able to  reduce  such  allowance  by  $12,200,000,
resulting in a $3,983,000  extraordinary  gain in 1992 and a $500,000  credit to
accrued expenses to be credited to paid-in capital following issuance of 250,000
shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company to the class members. Following
the closing on a majority  of the  property  conveyed to the trust,  the Company
recorded an  extraordinary  gain of $702,000  resulting  from a reduction in the
amount of its  guarantee  pursuant to the  settlement  agreement.  During  1996,
$993,000  of the  amount  loaned by Yasawa  was used to  satisfy  the  remaining
obligation  on the Marco  class  action  settlement  agreement  resulting  in an
extraordinary  gain  of  $313,000.  As part of the  settlement  agreement,  Swan
Development Corporation, an affiliate of Yasawa, acquired four condominium units
from the class  action  trustee  for  $182,000,  the same value that the trustee
attributed to the units on September 14, 1992.


         LIQUIDITY


Since 1986, the Company has directed its marketing  efforts to rebuilding retail
land sales in an attempt to obtain a more  stable  income  stream and  achieve a
balanced  growth of retail  land sales and bulk land  sales.  Retail  land sales
typically  have a higher  gross  profit  margin  than  bulk  land  sales and the
contracts  receivable  generated  from  retail land sales  provide a  continuing
source of income.  However,  retail land sales also have traditionally  produced
negative cash flow through the point of sale.  This is because the marketing and
selling expenses have generally been paid prior to or shortly after the point of
sale,  while  the land is  generally  paid for in  installments.  The  Company's
ability to rebuild  retail land sales has been  substantially  dependent  on its
ability to sell or otherwise  finance  contracts  receivable and/or secure other
financing sources to meet its cash requirements.

To alleviate the negative cash flow impact  arising from retail land sales while
attempting  to rebuild its sales  volume,  the Company  implemented  several new
marketing programs which, among other things,  adjusted the method of commission
payments and required  larger down payments.  However,  the nationwide  economic
recession,  which was especially pronounced in the real estate industry, adverse
publicity  surrounding  the industry which existed in 1990, the resulting,  more
stringent regulatory climate, and worldwide economic uncertainties have severely
depressed  retail land sales  beginning in mid-1990 and  continuing  thereafter,
resulting in a continuing liquidity crisis.

In an attempt to offset the negative cash effects of installment land sales, the
Company is attempting to direct its marketing  efforts to its housing product in
which a house and lot are sold as a package.  The success of this direction will
be dependent upon the Company's  dealer  recruiting  program and availability of
funds for a national advertising and promotion program.

Because of this severe  liquidity  crisis,  the Company ceased  development work
late in the third quarter of 1990 and did not resume  development work until the
third quarter of 1992. From September 29, 1990 through the fourth quarter of

                                       21

<PAGE>



1991,  when the Company ceased selling  undeveloped  lots,  sales of undeveloped
lots were  accounted  for using the  deposit  method.  Under  this  method,  all
payments were recorded as a customer deposit liability. In addition,  because of
the increasing trend in delinquencies  during 1990, since the beginning of 1991,
the Company has not  recognized  any sale until 20% of the contract  sales price
has been received.  As a result,  the reporting and  recognition of revenues and
profits on a portion of the  Company's  retail  land  sales  contracts  is being
delayed. See Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The continued  economic  recession and the  increasing  adverse  effects of such
recession on the Florida real estate industry not only resulted in the Company's
sales remaining at depressed levels,  but caused greater contract  cancellations
in 1991,  particularly  in the second half of the year,  than were  anticipated.
Such cancellations required the Company to record an additional provision to its
allowance for uncollectible sales of approximately $12,200,000 in the 1991 third
quarter, impacting net income by approximately $8,900,000.  While the Company is
making every effort to reduce its  cancellations,  the Company could be required
to record additional provisions in the future.

In December, 1992, the Company's bank debt was acquired by Mr. Gram and assigned
to  Yasawa.  Through  the sale of certain  assets to Yasawa and its  affiliates,
including  certain  contracts  receivable,  and the  exercise of the warrants by
Yasawa,  the Company was able to reduce such remaining  debt from  approximately
$25,150,000  (including interest and fees) to approximately  $5,106,000.  During
1994,  the Yasawa Loan was reduced to 4,764,600.  The agreement with Yasawa also
provided  the Company  with a future  line of credit,  all of which is drawn and
outstanding  as of December 31, 1996.  During 1993,  Selex loaned the Company an
additional  $5,400,000  pursuant to the Second and Third Selex Loans.  The loans
from Selex,  Yasawa and their affiliates are collateralized by substantially all
of the Company's assets.

On March 10, 1994,  the Company was advised that Selex filed an Amendment to its
Schedule 13D with the  Commission.  In the  Amendment,  Selex  reported that it,
together  with Yasawa and their  affiliates,  were  uncertain as to whether they
would provide any further funds to the Company.  The  Amendment  further  stated
that Selex,  Yasawa and their  affiliates  were seeking third parties to provide
financing for the Company and that as part of any such  transaction,  they would
be willing  to sell or  restructure  all or a portion of their  loans and Common
Stock in the Company.

The Company has stated in previous  filings with the  Commission  and  elsewhere
herein that the  obtainment  of  additional  funds to  implement  its  marketing
program and achieve the  objectives  of its business plan is essential to enable
the Company to  maintain  operations  and  continue  as a going  concern.  Since
December, 1992, the Company has been dependent on loans and advances from Selex,
Yasawa and their  affiliates  in order to implement  its  marketing  program and
assist in meeting its working capital requirements. As previously stated, during
the last nine  months of 1993,  Selex,  Yasawa and their  affiliates  loaned the
Company an aggregate of $4,400,000  pursuant to Third Selex Loan. Funds advanced
under the Third Selex Loan enabled the Company to commence implementation of the
majority  of its  marketing  program  in the  third  quarter  of 1993.  The full
benefits of the program  were not realized in 1993 and the Company was unable to
secure  financing in 1994 to meet its working capital  requirements and continue
its marketing program. Commencing in 1994, Yasawa advanced additional funds (the
"Second  Yasawa  Loan")  totaling  $6,012,000  as of June 30, 1997,  to meet the
Company's minimum working capital  requirements,  to pay a portion of delinquent
real estate taxes, to pay settlements with certain trade creditors and to settle
certain litigation.

As a consequence of its liquidity position, the Company has defaulted on certain
obligations,  including  its  previously  described  escrow  obligations  to the
Division pursuant to the Company's 1992 Consent Order and its obligation to make
required interest payments under loans from Selex,  Yasawa and their affiliates.
Furthermore,  the  Company  has not paid  delinquent  real  estate  taxes  which
aggregate  approximately  $3,345,000 as of June 30, 1997;  non-payment  of these
delinquent taxes may adversely affect the financial condition of the Company.

The Company is continuing to seek third parties to provide financing.  There can
be  no  assurance,   however,   that  additional  financing  will  be  obtained,
accordingly,  the  Company's  Board  of  Directors  is  also  considering  other
appropriate  action  given the  severity  of the  Company's  liquidity  position
including,  but  not  limited,  to  filing  for  protection  under  the  federal
bankruptcy laws.
