Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Material Changes in Financial Condition:
Net assets increased by $378,730, or $.64 per share, during the third
quarter ended March 31, 1997. This compares to an increase in net assets of
$466,399, or $.79 per share, during the third quarter ended March 31, 1996.
The increase during the quarter was due mainly to an increase in the fair
market value of the Registrant's investment in its largest investee,
Williams Controls, Inc. ("Williams"), which represented 92% of the
Registrant's investments (at fair value) at March 31, 1997.
The Registrant has a line of credit, payable on demand, with NBD Bank
("NBD"). The collateral is all of the shares of Williams common stock
currently owned by the Registrant (1,660,000 shares) and all future shares
of Williams common stock acquired by the Registrant. The interest rate is
NBD's prime rate plus 1%. The Registrant may borrow up to the lesser of
$2,000,000 or 50% of the fair market value of the collateral. The amount
available at March 31, 1997, based on the above formula, was $341,550.
NBD had verbally informed the Registrant in January 1997, that its demand
loan expiration was extended until January 31, 1998. Subsequent to that, in
April 1997, NBD verbally informed the Registrant that the expiration of its
credit line was not January 31, 1998, but rather April 30, 1997, with
possible extension pending further review of the Registrant's principal
investee, Williams Controls, Inc. completing a refinancing of its bank
credit facility. NBD has taken no further action on this matter at this
time. Should NBD not continue its lending relationship, the Registrant will
pursue alternative financing sources to help meet its cash flow needs.
At March 31, 1997 the Registrant's borrowing availability against the NBD
line of credit was $341,550. The Registrant has several options for
continued cash flow including; (1) a potential waiver from NBD of the
formula cap; (2) increasing the availability with NBD by pledging Ajay's
common stock and preferred stock as additional collateral; (3) selling
shares of Ajay or Williams common stock; or (4) demanding from Ajay,
payment of the $200,000 note payable. NBD has not been asked, nor has it
indicated a willingness to entertain the modifications indicated in points
(1) and (2) above.
The amount outstanding on the NBD loan at March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996
were $1,658,450 and $1,454,721, respectively. As of March 31, 1997, the
Registrant has no material commitments for capital expenditures.
11
<PAGE>
On September 27, 1996 the Registrant loaned Ajay Sports, Inc. ("Ajay")
$200,000 for working capital. This loan is a 90-day note with an interest
rate of NBD's prime rate plus 1%. In December 1997 the Registrant changed
this note to a demand note. The accrued interest on the note at March 31,
1997 was $9,377. The Registrant expects repayment of the note and interest
some time during 1997.
The Registrant's liquidity is affected primarily by the business success,
securities prices and marketability of its investee companies and by the
amount and timing of new or incremental investments it makes.
Material Changes in Results of Operations:
The Registrant's revenues were $5,585 and $252,614 for third quarter ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in revenues for the
quarter compared with the prior year's quarter, is due mainly to a decrease
in consulting fees and the decrease in net realized gain on the sale of
investments. The Registrant's operating expenses for the third quarter
ended March 31, 1997 decreased by $5,180 (6%) over the same period of the
prior year. This was due mainly to the reduction of staff level.
The Registrant recorded an unrealized gain on investments of $651,560 for
the third quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to a gain of $544,380 for
the third quarter ended March 31, 1996. This is mainly due to the changes
in fair market value of the Registrant's investment in Williams.
Williams Controls, Inc. - Investee Company
The Registrant's largest investee company, Williams Controls, is a publicly
held company (NASDAQ: WMCO) in which the Registrant owns common stock and
options. Management recognizes that there is risk associated with its lack
of diversification due to its large investment concentration in Williams.
Williams Controls, Inc., through its subsidiary companies, manufactures and
markets sensors, controls, and communication systems for the
transportation, telecommunication and agricultural industries.
