ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

PLAN OF OPERATION

As a "shell" company, the Company currently has no revenues from operations. 
The Company's business plan is to identify and complete an acquisition, 
merger or other transaction that will enhance shareholder value.  The 
Company's Board of Directors is reviewing potential business opportunities, 
without limiting the scope of its review to only one or a few types of 
businesses or industries.  Currently, the Company has no plans, agreements, 
arrangements or understandings, written or oral, with respect to any 
acquisition, merger or similar transaction.  No assurances can be given as to 
the Company's ability to identify and complete a transaction by any given 
date or as to the nature of the business or profitability of the Company if a 
transaction is completed.  A proposed transaction could be subject to 
significant regulatory, business, financing and other contingencies and might 
require shareholder and other approvals.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a limited discussion of the results of operations for the 
quarter ended December 31, 1998 compared to those for the quarter ended 
December 31, 1997.  A comparison of the results of operations for the quarter 
ended December 31, 1998 are not directly comparable to results for the 
quarter ended December 31, 1997 because of the sale of substantially all of 
the Company's net operating assets effective December 31, 1997.

FISCAL 1998 COMPARED TO FISCAL 1997

CONTINUING OPERATIONS.  During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, when the 
Company was operating as a shell corporation, it incurred general and 
administrative expenses of $26,524.  These expenses were mainly comprised of 
a consulting fee of $14,510 paid to the Company's President and Chief 
Executive Officer, and approximately $11,000 paid for legal and accounting 
services.  Income for the same period totaled $6,129, and was derived mainly 
from interest earned on the Company's cash and cash equivalents.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.  Effective December 31, 1997, the Company sold 
substantially all of its net assets used in operations to management for 
$650,000.  Net proceeds were approximately $585,000 after closing costs.  As 
a condition of the transaction, management agreed to the cancellation of its 
stock options and the sale of their common shares to the Company for $1,000, 
representing more than a 25% reduction in beneficial control of common 


                                       7

shares.  As a result, the Company's operations for the quarter ended December 
31, 1997 are reported as discontinued operations.  The results from 
discontinued operations for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 included 
total revenues of approximately $1,296,000 and pre-tax net income from 
operations of approximately $4,625.

Management anticipates that while the Company operates as a shell 
corporation, it will incur expenses of approximately $7,500 per month.

Net loss per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 was $.01, as 
compared to $0.00 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY

Working capital at December 31, 1998 was $528,246, comprised of cash and cash 
equivalents, which management believes is sufficient to cover current 
operations for at least the next twelve months.

Depending on the success of the Company's efforts to locate a potential 
candidate for merger or acquisition, management believes that the Company's 
present working capital may need to be supplemented to support the operations 
of the merged or acquired company over the next 12 months.  Additional 
working capital may be sought through additional debt or equity private 
placements, additional notes payable to banks or related parties (officers, 
directors or shareholders), or from industry-available funding sources at 
market rates of interest, or a combination of these.  The ability to raise 
necessary financing will depend on many factors, including the nature and 
prospects of any business to be acquired and the economic and market 
conditions prevailing at the time financing is sought.  No assurances can be 
given that any necessary financing can be obtained on terms favorable to the 
Company, or at all.
