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

     LIQUIDITY,   CAPITAL  RESOURCES  AND  RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  The  Company
experienced  a net loss from  operations of $5,066 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 which  relates  principally  to its small amount of interest  income of
$240 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 not being sufficient to cover its
minimum basic operating expenses. The Company expects this trend to continue for
the balance of 1998 as management  continues to investigate  potential  business
mergers and/or  acquisitions.  This net operating  loss of $5,066  compares to a
loss of $16,969 for the six months  ended June 30,  1997.  During the six months
ended June 30, 1997 the Company  experienced  higher  postage and printing costs
relative to proxies and annual meeting costs, and also higher directors' fees,
