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 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 call the warrants as of March 31, 1999 because it
has not met the closing bid requirements.

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 were outstanding at March 31, 1999 and 1998. There were 85,000 
incentive stock options available for grant at March 31, 1999 and 1998.

The company's gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was

was 16.8%, down from 19.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Gross margin
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 decreased 2.9% from same quarter last year
due to inclement weather conditions which slowed the setting of manufactered
homes, reducing the supply of used axles resulting in higher prices for raw
materials. Ford's Tires and Axles in Pheonix, Arizona was purchased on January
5, 1999 in an effort to gain access to used axles and tires in other market
areas. The integeration of new aquitions has been slower and more costly than
anticipated. Steps have been taken to upgrade financial controls to improve
overall profitability. Although the Colorado location has

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. $1,111,000 of the
line has been drawn on as of March 31,1999. The $889,000 of operating line
remains open and available, if necessary, at a rate of prime and matures June
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 March 31, 1999 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. The
company has contracted the services of its outside auditors to obtain further
asssurance that internal systems and equipment are 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.


                                    Page 9
<PAGE>

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 do
not achieve Year 2000 compliance, the company's business or operations could be
adversely affected.
