                   Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1998


1.   General

     The interim financial  statements are prepared pursuant to the requirements
for  reporting  on Form 10-QSB.  The  December  31, 1997 balance  sheet data was
derived from audited  financial  statements but does not include all disclosures
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  The interim  financial
statements and notes thereto  should be read in  conjunction  with the financial
statements  and notes  included in the Company's  Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December  31,  1997.  In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  interim  financial
statements  reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

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

Material Changes in Result of Operations

     During the three months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  the Company had no
operations  other than the  search  for a  business  to acquire or with which to
combine.

     The Company  reported no revenues or expenses for either of the three month
periods  ended March 31, 1998 or 1997 nor did the Company  incur any expenses in
either period.

Material Changes in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At  March  31,  1998 the  Company  had no  current  assets  and no  current
liabilities  as  compared  to no current  assets and no current  liabilities  at
December 31, 1997.

     Although the Company has no liquidity,  it believes that it will be able to
find a suitable Company with which to merge.
