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

General

      The Company was formed for the purpose of  investing  in any and all types
of assets,  properties and businesses. At the time of its formation, the Company
issued  1,000,000  shares  of its  Common  Stock  to its  initial  shareholders,
together with a 1,000,000  Class "A" Warrants  exercisable at $.25 per share and
1,000,000 Class B Warrants exercisable at $.50 per share. On September 28, 1988,
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission granted  effectiveness to a
Registration  Statement  on Form S-18.  The  Registration  Statement  was for an
offering  of  2,000,000  Units  of  Common  Stock at $.10 per  Unit.  Each  Unit
consisted  of one share of Common  Stock,  one Class "A" Common  Stock  Purchase
Warrant and one Class "B" Common  Stock  Purchase  Warrant.  The  offering was a
"blind pool" or "blank check" offering.

      The  offering  was  formally  closed on October 6, 1989.  The offering was
registered for sale in the State of Utah and  therefore,  the Company was and is
required to comply  with Rule  164-11-1 as  promulgated  by the Utah  Securities
Division.  Such Rule prohibits the issuance of shares,  the secondary trading of
the Company's  securities and the expenditure of more than 20 percent of the net
offering  proceeds  without first giving  subscribers  a rescission  offering in
connection with an acquisition.

Rule 164-11-1 As Promulgated by the Utah Securities Division

      The offering was registered for sale in several states including the State
of Utah.  Therefore,  the offering and the Company was, and is,  subject to Rule
164-11-1  as  promulgated  by the Utah  Securities  Division.  Rule  164-11-1 is
applicable  to  offerings  in  which  eighty  percent  (80%)  or more of the net
offering  proceeds  are not  specifically  allocated.  Following  the  close  of
offerings subject to Rule 164-11-1, a company subject to the Rule is required to
maintain a minimum of eighty  percent  (80%) of the net offering  proceeds in an
escrow  account  until  such  time as it can  specifically  allocate  the use of
proceeds.  At such time as the offering proceeds can be specifically  allocated,
the Company must file additional  information with the Utah Securities  Division
disclosing  the use of proceeds and deliver such  information  to the  investors
purchasing shares in this offering.

      At the  time  that  the  additional  documentation  concerning  the use of
proceeds is filed with the Utah Securities Division, Rule 164-11-1 requires that
investors  in the  offering  be given no less than twenty (20) days to ratify or
rescind his or her investment. Investors who elect to rescind the purchase shall
receive a pro rata  refund of all  offering  proceeds.  However,  should  enough
investors  request a refund  such that net  tangible  asset value of the Company
after the refund would be less than  $75,000,  the Company will offer a pro rata
refund of all unused offering  proceeds to investors.  Therefore,  if sufficient
numbers of investors elect to rescind, it is possible that rescinding  investors
will not receive 100% of the amount  invested.  A company subject to the Rule is
entitled to use, a

substantial portion of the gross offering proceeds for underwriting commissions,
offering expenses and operating cost regardless of investors' rescission rights.

      Rule 164-11-1 also prohibits the issuance of  securities,  the delivery of
stock  certificates  or the secondary  trading of the Company's  stock until the
offering proceeds have been released to the Company subsequent to the rescission
offering.

      The Company  will also be required to file a  post-effective  amendment to
its Registration  Statement on file with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
setting forth  current  information  before  soliciting  shareholders  regarding
rights to rescission.

      A total of 2,000,000 Units of the Company's securities were subscribed for
and gross offering proceeds were $200,000. Net offering proceeds for purposes of
Rule 11.1 were  $175,000.  Pursuant to Rule  164-11-1,  80% of the net  offering
proceeds,  or  $140,000  was  deposited  into a Rule 11.1  Escrow  Account.  The
escrowed  amount may not be used by the Company until such time as Rule 164-11-1
is complied with.

      Liquidity and Capital Resources.  Presently,  the Company's assets consist
solely of a minimal amount of cash from its initial  capitalization and from the
sale of stock in its public offering.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had
unrestricted  cash of $389 and  restricted  cash in the Rule  164-  11-1  Escrow
Account of $198,636.  As of December 31, 1995, the Company had unrestricted cash
of $340 and escrowed cash of $191,442.  The Company's total liabilities amounted
to $297,508 as of September 30, 1996, of which $177,017 was attributed to common
stock Units subscribed.  The Company's total liabilities amounted to $285,782 as
of December 31, 1995,  of which  $177,017 was  attributed  to common stock units
subscribed.  The  Company  presently  has no other  resources.  The  Company  is
presently seeking potential acquisitions of private companies,  technologies, or
product  distribution  rights.  Management believes that any acquisition will be
made by issuing shares of the Company's  authorized  but unissued  common stock.
The Company's  liquidity,  capital resources,  and financial  statements will be
significantly  different subsequent to the consummation of any acquisition.  The
Company's  operating  expenses have been covered by advances from  affiliates in
recent months.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company's affiliates
will continue to fund operating costs in the future.

      The Company has been required to borrow funds from its affiliates in order
to fund its general and  administrative  costs.  As of September 30, 1996,  such
affiliates  had loaned  $94,760 to the  Company  which has been used to fund the
Company's legal fees,  accounting fees,  filing fees,  travel expenses and other
administrative costs. The Company must continue to borrow funds in order to fund
its  costs of  operations  until  such  time,  if ever,  it  effects a merger or
acquisition transaction. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to borrow  additional  funds from such affiliates or from any other persons.  If
the  Company is not able to borrow  additional  funds as needed,  it will not be
able to fund its costs of operations.

      Results of Operations. The Company has not commenced any operations except
for the  preliminary  investigation  of potential  acquisitions.  The  Company's
assets,  consisting primarily of cash, is on deposit in various interest bearing
and  non-interest  bearing accounts pending the consummation of any acquisition.
For the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the Company had revenues of
$2,443  expenses of $4,389 and a net loss of $1,946.  For the three months ended
September 30, 1995, the Company had revenues of $2,545  expenses of $4,626 and a
net loss of $2,081.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  the Company
had  revenues of $7,194  expenses  of $11,677 and a net loss of $4,483.  For the
nine months  ended  September  30,  1995,  the  Company  had  revenues of $8,110
expenses of $12,481 and a net loss of $4,371.  The Company  will likely not have
any  revenues  except  for  interest  unless  and  until  it is able to close an
acquisition or merger transaction.
