Inc.  (the  "Company")  as of November  30, 1995 and for the three  months ended
November  30,  1995 and 1994  reflect all  material  adjustments  which,  in the
opinion of management,  are necessary for a fair presentation of results for the

Item 2. -      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
               OPERATIONS
             

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Until the fourth  quarter of fiscal  1992,  the  Company was engaged in the
wholesale distribution of aluminum alloys, steel and other specialty metals. The
Company has liquidated the assets of its former business and is actively seeking
an acquisition with the goal of becoming an operating  company.  In the interim,
available cash is being invested in U.S.  Treasury  securities.  Interest income
for the quarter ended November 30, 1995, was  approximately  $27,000 compared to
$24,000 in the comparable  quarter of the prior year.  Higher interest rates and
investable balances were the reasons for the increase in revenue.

     General and  administrative   expenses  were  $16,000  for the  three-month
periods  ended  November  30,  1995 and 1994.  A  management  fee of $12,500 per
quarter  is  paid  to  an  affiliated  company  for  accounting,  financial  and
administrative management. This fee is based on the affiliate's estimated costs,
and management believes that the allocation method is reasonable.  The remaining
general and administrative expenses for the quarters ended November 30, 1995 and
1994 consist of stockholder, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     At November 30, 1995,  cash and cash  equivalents  and net working  capital
were approximately  $2,044,000 and $2,022,000,  respectively.  The U.S. Treasury
bills of approximately  $1,968,000  mature at various dates through February 15,
1996  and  bear  interest  rates  ranging  between  5.45%  and  5.51%. Investing
activities in the quarter ended November 30, 1994,  consisted of the maturity of
U.S.  Treasury  bills with an  original  maturity  greater  than  three  months.
Management  believes the  Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  and net working
capital are adequate for its remaining business  activities and for the costs of
seeking  an  acquisition  of an  operating  business.  The net book value of the
Company at November 30, 1995 is $1.03 per share.
