average stock closing bid price equals or exceeds $7.50 per share for 10 
consecutive trading days.  The company does not have the ability to the call

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

All period references are to the three month periods ended December 31, 1997 
and 1996, unless otherwise indicated.  Quarterly financial results may not be 
indicative of the financial results for any future period.  All tabular 
dollar amounts are stated in thousands.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 was $133,000, a 259% 
increase over net income of $37,000 from the first quarter last year.  
Earnings per share were $.03 for the current quarter compared to $.01 per 
share for the same quarter last year. The favorable results were due 
primarily to the successful integration of acquisitions made during the 1997 
fiscal year.  Net sales increased 94% to $8,093,000 for the quarter ended 
December 31, 1997 compared to $4,177,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 
1996.

Earnings per share was affected by an 18% increase in average shares 
outstanding to 4,846,420 from 4,105,982 for the same period in 1996.  Share 
growth was a direct result of the 940,000 restricted shares issued for the 
purchase of Bradley Enterprises, Inc. (Bradley) in November 1996 and the 
291,176 restricted shares issued in July 1997 for the acquisition of Leg-it 
Tire Co., Inc. (Leg-it).

The recent acquisitions have created opportunities for improved efficiencies 
resulting in larger profit margins.  The company is now the largest supplier 
of used axles and tires to the manufactured housing industry in the Western 
United States.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following table sets forth the operating data of the company as a 
percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

</TABLE>

Total sales of  $8,093,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997 were 
up 94% from $4,177,000 for the first quarter ended December 31, 1996.  The 
increase is primarily due to the acquisitions.  Comparatively mild weather 
conditions also contributed to the sales increase.  The


                                       8
<PAGE>

increased percentage of sales from axles and tires compared to the prior year 
is due mainly to the acquisitions. Both Bradley and Leg-it had historically 
larger percentages of their revenues from axles and tires than from the sale 
of manufactured housing accessories and siding.

The company's gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 1997 was 
$1,545,000, up $824,000 or 114% from the same period in 1996.  Overall gross 
margin was 19.1%, up from 17.3% for the first three months of fiscal 1997.

Operating expense for the first three months of fiscal 1998 increased 
$621,000 to $1,332,000.  This increase of 87% compares favorably to the 94% 
increase in sales.  Selling expense remained relatively stable as a percent 
of sales while administrative expense as a percent of sales decreased 
compared to the same quarter last year.  

As a result of the above factors, operating income for the first three months 
of fiscal 1998 was $213,000 compared to $10,000 for the first quarter of 
fiscal 1997.

During the first three months of fiscal 1998, the company generated other 
income of $21,000 compared to $51,000 for the first fiscal quarter of 1997.  
The decrease was due primarily to reduced interest income as proceeds from 
the initial public offering were taken from interest bearing investments and 
invested in Bradley and Leg-it.

All of the factors previously stated caused an increase in net income of 259% 
to $133,000 for the first three months of fiscal 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Historically, the company's principal sources of liquidity have been retained 
earnings from operations as well as borrowings under a revolving line of 
credit with a bank.

The company has a $2,000,000 maximum bank line of credit secured by 
designated percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories.  The 
line has not been drawn on since January 1996 when it was paid off with 
proceeds from the initial public offering.  The operating line remains open 
and available, if necessary, at a rate of prime plus .5%, and matures 
February 1998.

Authorized stock of the company consists of 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par 
value common stock and 5,000,000 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock.  
No shares of preferred stock have been issued. The company also has 4,500,644 
outstanding warrants to purchase common stock. Each warrant entitles the 
holder to purchase one share of common stock at $4.00 per share.  The 
warrants are exercisable beginning December 21, 1996 and expire December 21, 
2000.  The warrants are redeemable by the company with 30 days written notice 
at the rate of $.10 per warrant after December 21, 1996 and only if the 
average stock closing bid price equals or exceeds $7.50 per share for 10 
consecutive trading days.  The company does not have the ability to the call 
the warrants as of December 31, 1997 because it has not met the closing bid 
requirements.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The company has been named as a defendant, along with other parties, in a 
lawsuit seeking recovery for personal injuries arising out of an accident in 
Northern Idaho in which a wheel supplied by the company came off a 
manufactured home in transit and struck a vehicle being driven by the 
claimant.  The lawsuit has been tendered to the company's liability insurance 
carrier and the carrier is providing a defense.

ITEM 5.   OTHER EVENTS

The warrant exercise price is subject to adjustment under the terms of the 
warrant agreement in the event stock is issued for a price less than $4.00 
per share.  The terms of the warrant agreement specify that an adjustment be 
made to prevent dilution of the warrantholders' interest in a timely fashion 
following the finalization of purchase accounting activity.  Purchase 
accounting activity for the acquisition of Bradley has been finalized and 
management is reviewing the transaction to determine if adjustment is 
necessary.

The board of directors adopted the 1997 Directors Stock Option Plan in 
November 1997 subject to shareholder approval at the company's annual 
shareholder meeting on February 24, 1998.  The plan authorizes the issuance 
of up to 50,000 options to non-employee directors for the purchase of company 
common stock.  The options shall have an exercise price equal to fair market 
value on the last trading day prior to the date of grant.
