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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company reported net losses of approximately $13,000 (or $.01 per share) and approximately $267,000 (or $.26 per share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. This is as compared with a net loss of approximately $4,000 (or $.003 per share) and net income of approximately $218,000 (or $.21 per share) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

As discussed below, total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared with the same periods in 2007, increased by approximately $337,000 (13%) and $506,000 (9%), respectively. Total expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, as compared with the same periods in 2007, increased by approximately $74,000 (2%) and $120,000 (2%), respectively.

REVENUES
Rentals and related revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared with the same periods in 2007 increased by $19,000 (5%) and $36,000 (5%). The increases were due to increased rental revenue from the Grove Isle property as a result of inflation adjustments as provided in the lease and increased rental revenue from the Monty's retail space.

Spa revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared with the same periods in 2007 increased by $33,000 (or 20%) and $45,000 (or 12%). The spa is benefiting from increased occupancy and overall improved operations at the Grove Isle resort during 2008.

Net (loss) gain from investments in marketable securities:
Net loss from investments in marketable securities for the three and six months ended June 30 2008 was approximately $27,000 and $215,000, respectively, as compared with a net gain from investments in marketable securities of approximately $124,000 and $250,000 for the same comparable periods in 2007. For further details refer to Note 4 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Net income from other investments:
Net income from other investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $126,000 and $158,000, respectively, as compared with net income of approximately $365,000 and $742,000 for the same comparable periods in 2007. The decrease in income was primarily from a non-recurring 2007 cash distribution from an investment in a bank and in a partnership owning diversified businesses. For further details refer to Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Interest, dividend and other income:
Interest and dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $248,000 and $336,000, respectively, as compared with approximately $104,000 and $244,000, for the same periods in 2007. The increase from last year in the three and six month periods of $144,000 (or 139%) and $92,000 (or 38%), respectively was primarily the result of real estate commission earned by Courtland Houston, Inc. of approximately $168,000 in June 2008.

EXPENSES
Expenses for rental and other properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 were consistent with that for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

For comparisons of all food and beverage related expenses refer to Restaurant Operations (above) summarized statement of income for Monty's restaurant.

For comparisons of all marina related expenses refer to Marina Operations
(above) for summarized and combined statements of income for marina operations.

For comparisons of all spa related expenses refer to Spa Operations (above) for summarized statements of income for spa operations.

Adviser's base fee for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 increased by $30,000 (or 13%) and $60,000 (or 13%). This was the result of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement effective January 1, 2008, as previously reported.

Professional fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 decreased by $29,000 (or 31%) and $48,000 (or 27%). This was due to non-recurring restaurant consulting fees of approximately $28,000 paid in May 2007.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 decreased by $73,000 (or 18%) and $120,000 (or 15%). This was primarily due to lower interest rates in 2008 versus 2007.

Minority partner's interest in operating (gains) losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 increased by $200,000 (or 160%) and $258,000 (or 294%). This was primarily the result of increased operating gains from the Monty's operations and from the Grove Isle Spa operations.

EFFECT OF INFLATION:
Inflation affects the costs of operating and maintaining the Company's investments. In addition, rentals under certain leases are based in part on the lessee's sales and tend to increase with inflation, and certain leases provide for periodic adjustments according to changes in predetermined price indices.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REQUIREMENTS AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's material commitments in 2008 primarily consist of maturities of debt obligations of approximately $4 million and commitments to fund private capital investments of approximately $1.3 million due upon demand. The funds necessary to meet these obligations are expected to be available from the proceeds of sales of properties or investments, refinancing, distributions from investments and available cash. The majority of maturing debt obligations for 2008 is a note payable to the Company's 49% owned affiliate, T.G.I.F. Texas, Inc. ("TGIF") of approximately $3.7 million. This amount is due on demand. The obligation due to TGIF will be paid with funds available from distributions from the Company's investment in TGIF and from available cash.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

MATERIAL COMPONENTS OF CASH FLOWS
For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.1 million. This was primarily due to improved cash from operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $838,000. This consisted primarily of approximately $2.2 million in net proceeds from sales of marketable securities and collections of notes receivable of approximately $500,000, partially offset by increased investments in marketable securities of $1.1 million, contributions to other investments of $485,000 and improvements to the Monty's property of approximately $476,000.

For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash used in financing activities was approximately $1.3 million consisting of $2 million restricted cash relating to the loan modification discussed in Note 7. $1 million of this restricted cash was contributed by the Company 50% partner in the Monty's property. Repayments of loans accounted for the other $337,000 cash used in financing activities.
