Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Material Changes in Financial Condition:
Net assets increased by $139,474 during the third quarter ended March
31, 1998. This compares to an increase in net assets of $378,730 during
the third quarter ended March 31, 1997. The Registrant's largest
investee, Williams Controls, Inc. ("Williams"), increased in fair market
value at March 31, 1998 as compared to June 30, 1997. Williams
represents approximately 95% of the Registrant's investments (at fair
market value). This was offset by a decline in the value of the
Registrant's investment in Ajay Sports, Inc. ("Ajay").
In July 1997, the Registrant was approved for a $2,250,000 line of
credit at 3/4% over prime with Comerica Bank ("Comerica"), replacing the
NBD loan. The collateral for the line of credit is all of the shares of
Williams Controls common stock owned by the Registrant (1,810,000) and
all of the shares of common stock of Ajay Sports, Inc. ("Ajay") owned by
the Registrant (1,864,706). Borrowing is limited to 50% of the fair
market value of the collateral, except that the maximum amount that can
be borrowed against the Ajay stock is $400,000. This loan expires in
July, 1998 and the Registrant is currently in discussions with Comerica
to extend the due date and/or increase the credit line. The balance of
the Registrant's note payable to Comerica as of March 31, 1998 was
$2,013,549.
On September 27, 1996 the Registrant loaned Ajay $200,000 for working
capital. This loan was a 90 day note with an interest rate of prime plus
1%. In December 1996, the Registrant changed this note to a demand note.
In July 1997, Ajay entered into a new loan agreement with Wells Fargo
Bank. One of the conditions of the loan was that any outstanding loans
to Ajay made by the Registrant be subordinated to the position of Wells
Fargo Bank. As such, the Registrant signed a Subordination Agreement
with Wells Fargo Bank at the time of closing of Ajay's loan with Wells
Fargo Bank. The subordination conditions can only be removed and the
$200,000 loan from the Registrant to Ajay can only be repaid if certain
financial and operating conditions are met. The balance of this note at
March 31, 1998 was $200,000. The accrued interest on the note at March
31, 1998 was $9,474.

<PAGE>
In November 1997, the Registrant exercised 150,000 stock options of
Williams Controls, Inc. for common stock at $.41 per share, or a total
of $61,500.
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.
At March 31, 1998 the Registrant's borrowing availability against the
Comerica line of credit was $236,451. The Registrant has several options
for continued cash flow including selling some shares of Ajay or
Williams common stock or raising additional capital.
Material Changes in Results of Operations:
The Registrant's revenues were $5,484 and $5,585 for third quarter ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Registrant recorded an unrealized gain on investments of $193,443
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 compared to a gain of
$429,560 for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997. This is mainly
due to the decrease 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, communication and
agricultural industries.

Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
On February 13, 1998, the Registrant filed an 8-K with the Securities &
Exchange Commission. On February 2, 1998, the Registrant received a notice from
the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. that it may be delisted from the Nasdaq Smallcap
Market unless it meets certain new continued listing requirements that were
effective February 23, 1998. On March 6, 1998, the Registrant filed its proposal
to Nasdaq related to how it will cure the deficiencies. The Registrant has not
yet received a response from Nasdaq.
