NOTE D - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

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 were

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
June 30, 1998 because it has not met the closing bid requirements.

and paid $412,500 to acquire Leg-it Tire Co., Inc. (Leg-it).


                                      6

<PAGE>

On November 14, 1996, the company issued 940,000 restricted shares of common
stock and paid $500,000 to acquire Bradley Enterprises, Inc.

The company has a stock option plan which allows officers, directors and key 
employees of the company to receive non-qualified and incentive stock 
options. The company awarded 100,000 non-qualified stock options to certain 
officers and directors on October 1, 1994 with an exercise price of $4.00 per 
share.  These options became 100% vested and exercisable on September 30, 
1996 and expire September 30, 1999.  All non-qualified stock options were 
outstanding at December 31, 1997 and 1996. There were 85,000 incentive stock 
options available for grant at March 31, 1998 and 1997.  The exercise price 
for the outstanding incentive stock options is $5.88 per share.

NOTE E - OTHER

A lawsuit alleging wrongful termination has been filed by a former employee
against Leg-it and Ulysses Mori, the former President of Leg-it and a current
director of the company.  The litigation is in its discovery stage and the
company can not estimate the amount or likelihood of loss, if any.

The company has purchased the assets of two firms, one a supplier of metal
hangers used to secure axles to manufactured homes and the other a supplier of
axles and tires, with combined annual revenues of approximately $900,000.  The
company paid $320,000 in cash to purchase specified assets and assume certain
liabilities of Hanger Enterprises and Ken's Mobile Tire and Axle.  The assets,
located in Eugene, Oregon, were owned and operated by Kenneth Lee who will
remain with the company as manager of these
operations.

During July 1998, the company signed a purchase agreement with Ford's Tires 
and Axles in Chandler, Arizona in which TJT has agreed to pay cash of 
$275,000 and assume certain liabilities.  The purchase price is subject to 
adjustment based on the results of due diligence. The agreement also includes 
a management contract whereby TJT will manage Ford's Tires and Axles for a 
period of up to six months prior to finalizing the purchase.  Compensation 
for managing Ford's Tires and Axles will consist of a monthly fee and a 
percentage of pre-tax profits earned by Ford's during the period of the 
management contract.  In return, TJT will advise existing management of 
Ford's Tires and Axles, advance operating capital, and loan equipment to 
Ford's to facilitate growth at that location.  The Arizona market area is one 
of the company's primary targets for expansion.

</TABLE>

Net sales of  $9,196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were up 34%
from $6,869,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  The increase is primarily
due to the acquisition of Leg-it Tire Co., Inc. (Leg-it) in July 1997.  Sales
increased 47% to $24,538,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 compared
to $16,726,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997, primarily due to the
acquisition of  Leg-it and the November 1996 acquisition of Bradley
Enterprises, Inc.

The company's gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was
$1,521,000, up $165,000 or 12% from the same period in 1997.  Overall gross
margin was 16.5%, down from 19.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Year-to-
date gross profit through June 30, 1998 was $4,493,000, an increase of
$1,647,000 or 58% over the same period last year.  Gross margin improved to
18.3% from 17.0%.  Gross margin for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 decreased
from the prior quarter and the same quarter last year due to increased
competition for used axles 


                                      8

<PAGE>

and tires in the company's market area.  In July 1998, TJT entered into an 
agreement to purchase Ford's Tires and Axles in Chandler, Arizona in an 
effort to gain access to used axles and tires in other market areas.  
Management expects that these additional sources of used axles and tires may 
ease the pressure on gross margin caused by increased competition in TJT's 
market area for used axles and tires.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 increased $337,000 from the same quarter last year to $1,318,000.  Selling
expense decreased slightly as a percent of sales for both the three-month and
nine-month periods ended June 30, 1998 compared to those same periods ended
June 30, 1997.  Administrative expense as a percent of sales for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 increased slightly due primarily to wages, professional
fees and shareholder expenses compared to the same quarter last year.  Year-to-
date administrative expense as a percent of sales also increased slightly over
last  year due to wages, professional fees, shareholder expenses and bad debt
expense.  Selling expense as a percent of sales decreased to 8.2% for the
current quarter from 9.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  Administrative
expense as a percent of sales decreased to 6.1% for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 from 7.6% for the previous quarter.

Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 was $203,000 compared to
an operating income of $375,000 for the same quarter of fiscal 1997.  Year-to-
date operating income for 1998 was $613,000 compared to operating income of
$206,000 for year-to-date 1997.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1998, the company generated non-operating
income of $15,000 compared to $56,000 for the third quarter of 1997.  The
decrease was due primarily to gain on sale of investment property recognized in
last year's third quarter and a decrease in interest income.  Non-operating
income of $57,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was also down due to
the same reasons.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was $122,000, a $129,000
decrease from net income of $251,000 from the same quarter last year. Year-to-
date net income for 1998 was $375,000 compared to net income of $202,000  for
the nine months ended June 30, 1997.

Earnings per share were $.03 for the current quarter compared to $.06 per share
for the same quarter last year. Year-to-date earnings per share for 1998 were
$.08 compared to $.05 per share for year-to-date 1997.  Earnings per share for
the third quarter was affected by a 6% increase in average shares outstanding
to 4,843,832 from 4,557,155 for the same period in 1997.  Share growth was a
direct result of the 291,176 restricted shares issued in July 1997 for the
acquisition of Leg-it.  Year-to-date average shares outstanding increased 10%
over the same period last year due to the Leg-it acquisition and due to the
940,000 restricted shares issued in November 1996 for the acquisition of
Bradley.

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 



                                      9

<PAGE>

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 and matures April 1999.

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 were
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
June 30, 1998 because it has not met the closing bid requirements.

YEAR 2000 SYSTEM ISSUE

The company is reviewing its financial and operating systems with respect to
the Year 2000 issue. The company has obtained assurance from the vendors of its
major purchased software systems that the products are Year 2000 compliant.
Based on the results of the preliminary review, the company does not anticipate
any material disruption in its operations related to the Year 2000 issue.

The company is also seeking assurance from its financial service provider,
major vendors and customers that the Year 2000 issue has been addressed.  In
the event that the financial service provider or any of the major vendors or
customers does not achieve Year 2000 compliance, the company's business or
operations could be adversely affected.

ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

The company has purchased the assets of two firms, one a supplier of metal
hangers used to secure axles to manufactured homes and the other a supplier of
axles and tires, with combined annual revenues of approximately $900,000.  The
company paid $320,000 in cash to purchase specified assets and assume certain
liabilities of Hanger Enterprises and Ken's Mobile Tire and Axle.  The assets,
located in Eugene, Oregon, were owned and operated by Kenneth Lee who will
remain with the company as manager of these operations.

During July 1998, the company signed a purchase agreement with Ford's Tires and
Axles in Chandler, Arizona in which TJT has agreed to pay cash of $275,000 and
assume certain liabilities.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment based
on the results of due diligence. The agreement also includes a management
contract whereby TJT will manage Ford's Tires and Axles for a period of up to
six months prior to finalizing the purchase.  Compensation for managing Ford's
Tires and Axles will consist of a monthly fee and a percentage of pre-tax
profits earned by Ford's during the period of the management contract.  In
return, TJT will advise existing management of Ford's Tires and Axles, advance
operating capital, and loan equipment to Ford's to facilitate growth at that
location.  The Arizona market area is one of the company's primary targets for
expansion.
