2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

    On April 21, 1998, KSL Recreation Group, Inc. (the Company), through a 
wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired substantially all of the assets and certain 
liabilities of The Claremont, also known as the Claremont Resort & Spa (the 
Property), a resort hotel located in Oakland, California, pursuant to an 
agreement of purchase and sale between Claremont Hotel, L.L.C., a Delaware 
limited liability company, and Harsch Investment Corp., an Oregon corporation 
(Sellers), and the Company dated March 5, 1998 and as amended on April 6, 
1998 and April 20, 1998 (Agreement).  The Company, by unanimous consent of 
the Board of Directors, approved and assigned the Agreement and all rights, 
title, interest and obligations thereunder to a newly formed, wholly-owned 
subsidiary of the Company, KSL Claremont Resort, Inc., a Delaware corporation 
formed on March 12, 1998.  There is no relationship between the Sellers and 
the Company, nor with any associates or affiliates of the Company.

    The purchase price of the Property, including the real property, 
improvements, personal property and certain liabilities, was approximately 
$88 million paid in cash (exclusive of closing costs).  The acquisition was 
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and was financed under 
the revolving credit portion of the Company's credit facility pursuant to the 
Credit Agreement among the Company, various financial institutions, 
Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, The Bank of Nova Scotia 
and BancAmerica Securities, Inc. dated April 30, 1997.

    The Property is situated on approximately twenty-two acres in the San 
Francisco Bay Area and features 279 luxury hotel rooms which include a 
forty-room wing equipped with high-speed Internet access for business 
travelers, four restaurants including fine dining, a 32,000 square foot 
conference center, two pools, three spas, ten tennis courts, a pool and 
tennis club with approximately 960 members, and a complete European-style spa 
and fitness center. The historic Claremont Hotel was built in 1915 and 
approximately $51 million in renovations, additions and upgrades have been 
made since 1978.  The Sellers acquired the Property in 1954.  The Company is 
only the fourth owner of the Property.

    The Company intends to continue to operate the Property as a resort hotel 
and spa.

5.  OTHER EVENTS

    On April 20, 1998, the Company entered into an amended and restated 
credit agreement (Restated Credit Facility) with various financial 
institutions, Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, The Bank 
of Nova Scotia and BancAmerica Securities, Inc.  The terms of the Restated 
Credit Facility provide for an increase in the revolving loan capacity of 
$100 million, thus increasing the total revolving loan capacity to $275 
million (the Revolving Credit Facility).  The term loan amount of $100 
million (the Term Loan Facility) remains unchanged.

    The interest rate under the Revolving Credit Facility is determined at 
the option of the Company from either LIBOR or the alternate base rate (ABR). 
ABR is the highest of (i) the administrative agent's prime rate or (ii) the 
federal funds effective rate plus one-half of 1%.  The applicable margin to 
LIBOR varies from 0.625% to 2.250%, and the applicable margin to the ABR 
varies from 0.000% to 1.250%.  In both cases, the applicable margin is 
determined by the pro forma Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the end of each 
quarter.

    The loans under the Term Loan Facility are comprised of Term A loans ($50 
million) and Term B loans ($50 million).  The interest rate for the Term A 
loans is determined at the option of the Company from either LIBOR or the 
ABR. Previously the applicable margin to LIBOR was 2.750% and the applicable 
margin to the ABR was 1.750%.  Under the Restated Credit Facility for Term A 
loans, the applicable margin to LIBOR varies

                                       2

<PAGE>


from 1.750% to 2.500%, and the applicable margin to the ABR varies from 
0.500% to 1.250%.  In both cases, the applicable margin is determined by the 
pro forma Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the end of each quarter.

    The interest rate for the Term B loans is determined at the option of the 
Company from either LIBOR or the ABR.  Previously the applicable margin to 
LIBOR was 3.000% and the applicable margin to the ABR was 2.000%.  Under the 
Restated Credit Facility for Term B loans, the applicable margin to LIBOR 
varies from 1.750% to 2.500%, and the applicable margin to the ABR varies 
from 0.500% to 1.250%.  In both cases, the applicable margin is determined by 
the pro forma Leverage Ratio, as defined, at the end of each quarter.

    There are no other material changes in the Restated Credit Facility.

                  UNAUDITED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                        CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The following unaudited pro forma statements of operations (the Pro 
Forma Financial Statements) have been derived through the application of pro 
forma adjustments to the Company's historical consolidated financial 
statements.  The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared to reflect 
the Claremont Acquisition.
     
     The Pro Forma Financial Statements for the year ended October 31, 1997 
and the six months ended April 30, 1998 give effect to the Claremont 
Acquisition as if such acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the 
earliest period presented.  The unaudited historical consolidated balance 
sheet of the Company as of April 30, 1998, as included in the Company's 
report on Form 10-Q, filed on June 15, 1998 and as included herein, gives 
effect to the Claremont Acquisition as such acquisition was consummated prior 
to April 30, 1998.
     
     The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to present the actual 
results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition occurred 
on the dates specified, nor do they purport to be indicative of the results 
of operations or financial condition the Company may achieve in the future.  
No effect has been given for operating or synergistic benefits that may be 
realized through a combination of the entities.  The Pro Forma Financial 
Statements are based on certain assumptions and adjustments described in the 
notes hereto and should be read in conjunction therewith.

     The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with 
the information included in this report on Form 8-K and the historical 
consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto contained 
in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1997 and Form 10-Q 
for the quarterly period ended April 30, 1998.

                               (Dollars in thousands)
                                          
                                          
(A)  Reflects the combined results of Claremont Hotel Corporation for the 
     eleven-month period ended December 1, 1997 and of Claremont Hotel, 
     L.L.C. for the period December 2, 1997 (date of inception) to December 
     31, 1997.  The Company does not believe that such amounts would have 
     been materially different had the results of operations for the periods 
     presented been adjusted to reflect the results of operations consistent 
     with the Company's fiscal period.

(B)  Reflects the income tax benefit of Claremont Hotel Corporation for the
     eleven-month period ended December 1, 1997.  The income tax benefit
     resulted primarily from reduced deferred income taxes related to a change
     in the entity's tax filing status from a C corporation to an S corporation
     in 1997.  Claremont Hotel, L.L.C., as an S corporation, recorded no tax
     provision for the period December 2, 1997 (date of inception) to
     December 31, 1997 as the tax obligations and/or benefits are recognized on
     the tax returns of its members.

(C)  Reflects the increase (decrease) in depreciation and amortization expense
     of $797 and $833, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 1997 and
     $(99) and $417, respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 1998.

(D)  Reflects the elimination of corporate fees charged by the predecessor
     owner.

(E)  Reflects the additional interest expense that would have been incurred by
     the Company on additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to
     fund the Claremont Acquisition at a rate of approximately 9%.

(F)  Reflects the elimination of interest income earned by Claremont Hotel 
     Corporation on its loan to its parent.

(G)  Reflects the elimination of Claremont Hotel Corporation's income tax 
     benefit [See (B)].

(H)  Reflects the unaudited interim combined results of operations of Claremont
     Hotel Corporation and Claremont Hotel, L.L.C. for the six months ended
     March 31, 1998 less results of operations for the nine-day period from
     April 21, 1998 (date of acquisition) to April 30, 1998, which are included
     in the Company's results of operations for the six months ended April 30,
     1998.  The Company does not believe that such amounts would have been
     materially different had the results of operations for the period presented
     been adjusted to reflect the results of operations consistent with the
     Company's fiscal period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Claremont Hotel Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Claremont Hotel 
Corporation (the Company) as of December 1, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and 
the related statements of operations, stockholder's equity and cash flows for 
the eleven-month period ended December 1, 1997 and the years ended December 
31, 1996 and 1995.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the 
Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Claremont Hotel Corporation 
as of December 1, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for the above-stated periods in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements, effective December 2, 
1997, the Company's stockholder contributed the Company's assets and related 
liabilities to a newly formed Delaware limited liability company owned by 
certain charitable foundations.

As more fully described in Note 1, effective January 1, 1997, the Parent 
caused the Company to become part of the Parent; and, therefore, the Company 
had no separate legal status or existence for the eleven-month period ended 
December 1, 1997.  The financial statements of the Company have been prepared 
from separate records maintained by the Company as well as from the combined 
records of the Parent.

FOR THE ELEVEN-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 1, 1997 AND
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995

1.   GENERAL

     Claremont Hotel Corporation (the Company) operates the Claremont Resort &
     Spa (the Claremont), which is a leisure destination, business hotel and
     conference facility, with a world-class spa and lifestyle enhancement
     center and private tennis club located in Oakland, California.  The
     historic Claremont hotel was built in 1915.

     The Company was a wholly-owned corporate subsidiary of Harsch Investment
     Corp.  (the Parent) through December 31, 1996.  Effective January 1, 1997,
     the Parent caused the Company to become part of the Parent; and, therefore,
     the Company had no separate legal status or existence for the eleven-month
     period ended December 1, 1997.  The financial statements of the Company
     have been prepared from separate records maintained by the Company as well
     as from the combined records of the Parent.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with
     original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated primarily at the lower of cost,
     determined on the first-in, first-out method, or market.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is recorded at cost. 
     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
     useful lives of the related assets.  Generally, the estimated useful lives
     are 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for
     furniture, fixtures and equipment.  Improvements are capitalized while
     maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Assets under
     capital leases, if any, are amortized using the straight-line method over
     the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful lives of the assets. 
     Depreciation of assets under capital leases, if any, is included in
     depreciation expense.

     LONG-LIVED ASSETS - Management reviews real estate and other long-lived
     assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate
     the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If there is an
     indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash
     flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from
     the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If these cash flows are
     less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is
     recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.  The fair
     value is estimated at the present value of future cash flows discounted at
     a rate commensurate with management's estimate of

     the business risks.  Real estate assets, if any, for which management has
     committed to a plan to dispose of the assets, whether by sale or
     abandonment, are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value
     less cost to sell.  Preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is
     inherently subjective and is based on management's best estimate of
     assumptions concerning expected future conditions.

     INCOME TAXES - The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions
     of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, ACCOUNTING
     FOR INCOME TAXES, which requires an asset and liability approach in
     accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, a deferred tax liability
     or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to
     temporary differences in the recognition of accounting transactions for tax
     and reporting purposes and from carryforwards.  Measurement of the deferred
     items is based on enacted tax laws.  In the event the future consequence of
     differences result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an
     evaluation of the probability of being able to realize the future benefits
     indicated by such asset.  A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax
     asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all
     of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

     The Company is included in the consolidated income tax returns of the
     Parent.  Prior to January 1, 1997, the Company was treated as a C
     corporation.  Effective January 1, 1997, the Parent, along with the Company
     changed its tax filing status to an S corporation (Note 1).  Accordingly, 
     the provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 
     1995 was computed utilizing the separate return basis by applying the 
     applicable federal and state income tax rates to the Company's pretax 
     earnings as if the Company were a C corporation.  The provision for income 
     taxes for the period ended December 1, 1997 was computed by applying the 
     California franchise tax rate for S corporations of 1.5% to the Company's 
     pretax earnings.  As a result of the change in tax filing status and 
     applicable tax rates, the Company recorded approximately $1,935 of income 
     tax benefit in the period ended December 1, 1997 related to the reduction 
     of deferred income taxes.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenues related to dues and fees are recognized as
     income in the period in which the service is provided.  Other revenues are
     recognized at the time of sale or rendering of service.

     PRO FORMA NET INCOME - Pro forma net income for the period ended
     December 1, 1997 represents the results of operations adjusted to reflect a
     provision for income tax on historical income before income taxes based on
     a C corporation income tax status comparable to the other periods
     presented.  The difference between the pro forma income tax rates utilized
     and the federal statutory rate of 35% relates primarily to state income
     taxes.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amounts of cash and cash
     equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
     approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these
     financial instruments.

(Dollars in thousands)


     USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual
     results could differ from these estimates.

     ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
     Board issued SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which
     established standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive
     income.  Comprehensive income is defined as all changes in a Company's net
     assets except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders.  It
     differs from net income in that certain items currently recorded to equity
     would be a part of comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income must be
     reported in a financial statement with the cumulative total presented as a
     component of equity.  This statement must be adopted for fiscal years
     beginning after December 15, 1997.

CLAREMONT HOTEL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
FOR THE ELEVEN-MONTH PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 1, 1997 AND 
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 (CONTINUED)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dollars in thousands)


     Prior to January 1, 1997, the Company was treated as a C corporation. 
     Effective January 1, 1997, the Parent, along with the Company changed 
     its tax filing status to an S corporation (Note 1).  Accordingly, the 
     provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 
     1995 was computed utilizing the separate return basis by applying the 
     applicable federal and state income tax rates to the Company's pretax 
     earnings as if the Company were a C corporation.  The provision for 
     income taxes for the period ended December 1, 1997 was computed by 
     applying the California franchise tax rate for S corporations of 1.5% to 
     the Company's pretax earnings.  As a result of the change in tax filing 
     status and applicable tax rates, the Company recorded approximately 
     $1,935 of income tax benefit in the period ended December 1, 1997 
     related to the reduction of deferred income taxes.

6.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The receivable from Parent of $9,896 and $9,281 at December 1, 1997 and
     December 31, 1996, respectively, related to loans by the Company to the
     Parent to fund Parent's operating costs and to fund certain of the Parent's
     long-term-investments.  Interest on such receivable is earned at prime
     rate.  The Company recorded interest income of $942, $1,041 and $852 for
     the eleven-month period ended December 1, 1997 and the years ended
     December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, related to this receivable. 
     Management fees of $972, $950 and $845 for the eleven-month period ended
     December 1, 1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
     respectively, were paid to the Parent for management advisory services.

7.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a party to various litigation matters which are incidental
     to its business.  Although the results of the litigation cannot be
     predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of
     such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
     financial statements.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Effective December 2, 1997, the Company's stockholder contributed 
     substantially all of the Company's assets and related liabilities to a 
     newly formed Delaware limited liability company owned by two nonprofit 
     charitable foundations (the Contribution).  Concurrent with the 
     Contribution, the Company's receivable from Parent was settled and the 
     Company was effectively liquidated.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Members
 of Claremont Hotel, L.L.C.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Claremont Hotel, L.L.C. 
(the Company) as of December 2, 1997 (date of inception) and December 31, 
1997, and the related statements of operations, members' capital and cash 
flows for the period from December 2, 1997 (date of inception) to December 
31, 1997.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Claremont Hotel, L.L.C. as 
of December 2, 1997 and December 31, 1997, and the results of its operations 
and its cash flows for the period from December 2, 1997 (date of inception) 
to December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company sold 
substantially all its assets and certain liabilities in April 1998.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM DECEMBER 2, 1997 (DATE OF INCEPTION)
TO DECEMBER 31, 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dollars in thousands)

1.   GENERAL

     Claremont Hotel, L.L.C. (the Company), a Delaware limited liability
     company, was formed to own and operate the Claremont Resort & Spa (the
     Claremont), which is a leisure destination, business hotel and conference
     facility, with a world-class spa and lifestyle enhancement center and
     private tennis club located in Oakland, California.  The historic Claremont
     hotel was built in 1915.  The Company is owned by the Harold and Arlene
     Schnitzer CARE Foundation (78.5%) and the Jordan and Mina Schnitzer
     Foundation (21.5%) (collectively, the Members).  The Members are nonprofit
     charitable foundations.

     Effective December 2, 1997, the assets and liabilities of the Claremont
     were contributed to the Members by an affiliated corporation and
     subsequently transferred to the Company.  The assets and liabilities
     transferred as of December 2, 1997 have been recorded based on their
     estimated fair value at the date of contribution.  Fair value was
     determined based on appraisals and other information available to the
     Company.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with
     original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated primarily at the lower of cost or
     estimated fair value at date of contribution, determined on the first-in,
     first-out method, or market.

     PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is recorded at cost or
     estimated fair value at date of contribution.  Depreciation is computed
     using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
     related assets.  Generally, the estimated useful lives are 15 to 40 years
     for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures
     and equipment.  Improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs
     are charged to expense as incurred.

     LONG-LIVED ASSETS - Management reviews real estate and other long-lived
     assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate
     the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If there is an
     indication of impairment, management prepares an estimate of future cash
     flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from
     the use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If these cash flows are
     less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is
     recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.  The fair
     value is estimated at the present value of future cash flows discounted at
     a rate commensurate with management's estimate of the business risks.  Real
     estate assets, if any, for which management has committed to a plan to

     dispose of the assets, whether by sale or abandonment, are reported at the
     lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  Preparation of
     estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based
     on management's best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future
     conditions.

     INCOME TAXES - As a limited liability company, the Company is subject only
     to a California minimum franchise tax and minor fees based on gross
     revenues, which taxes and fees were not material during the period.  The
     income tax effects of the Company's activities are recognized in the tax
     returns of the Members.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenues related to dues and fees are recognized as
     income in the period in which the service is provided.  Other revenues are
     recognized at the time of sale or rendering of service.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying amounts of cash and cash
     equivalents, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
     approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these
     financial instruments.

     USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with generally accepted accounting principles necessarily requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual
     results could differ from these estimates.

     ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
     Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130,
     REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which established standards for the
     reporting and displaying of comprehensive income.  Comprehensive income is
     defined as all changes in a Company's net assets except changes resulting
     from transactions with shareholders.  It differs from net income in that
     certain items currently recorded to equity would be a part of comprehensive
     income.  Comprehensive income must be reported in a financial statement
     with the cumulative total presented as a component of equity.  This
     statement will be adopted by the Company beginning January 1, 1998.

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
     financial statements.

7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     certain liabilities to a third-party buyer for approximately $88,000.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Dollars in thousands)



1.   GENERAL

     Claremont Hotel, L.L.C. (the Company), a Delaware limited liability
     company, was formed to own and operate the Claremont Resort & Spa (the
     Claremont), which is a leisure destination, business hotel and conference
     facility, with a world-class spa and lifestyle enhancement center and
     private tennis club located in Oakland, California.

     The unaudited interim financial statements presented herein do not include
     all of the information and note disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles.  In the opinion of management, these financial statements
     contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary
     to present fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations
     and cash flows.  These unaudited interim financial statements should be
     read in conjunction with the other disclosures contained herein and with
     the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in
     the Company's audited financial statements for the period from December 2,
     1997 (date of inception) to December 31, 1997.  Operating results for
     interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be
     expected for the entire fiscal year.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles necessarily requires management to make
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from
     these estimates.

2.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On April 21, 1998, the Company sold substantially all of its assets and
     certain liabilities to a third-party buyer for approximately $88,000.
