Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month Periods Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994


   Revenue decreased slightly by $84,000 (2%) to $3,593,000 in the 1995 period
compared to $3,677,000 primarily due to lower interest earned by Arcadian
Financial because of the sale of its loan portfolio.

   Gain on sale of securities of $130,000 in 1995 represents the gain on sale of
various securities sold to two officers of the Company as described in note 5 to
the consolidated financial statements.

   Increase in underlying equity of Intersystems, Inc. was $40,000 in 1995
compared to $228,000 in 1994.  A larger amount of Intersystems' convertible
subordinated debentures were converted by the holders into common stock in 1994
than in 1995.

   Interest and debt expense increased by $50,000 (22%) to $269,000 in 1995 from
$219,000 in 1994 due to increased borrowings by Interpak Terminals.

Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

   Revenue decreased by $469,000 (6%) to $7,095,000 in the 1995 period compared
to $7,564,000 in the 1994 period primarily due to a decrease in packaging volume
for Interpak Terminals in the first quarter of 1995.

   Equity in earnings of Intersystems, Inc. was a loss of $87,000 in 1995
compared to income of $22,000 in 1994.  Intersystems had benefited from a large
overseas sale in the first quarter of 1994.

   Gain on sale of securities of $130,000 in 1995 represents the gain on sales
of various securities sold to two officers of the Company as described in note 5
to the consolidated financial statements.

   Increase in underlying equity of Intersystems, Inc. was $40,000 in 1995
compared to $343,000 in 1994.  A larger amount of Intersystems' convertible
subordinated debentures were converted by the holders into common stock in 1994
than in 1995.


                                                                   PAGE 10 OF 12
<PAGE>   11

   Interest and debt expense increased by $63,000 (15%) to $490,000 in 1995 from
$427,000 in 1994 due to increased borrowings by Interpak Terminals.

Current Operations

   Interpak Terminals, the Company's principal subsidiary had an increase in the
number of rail cars packaged in June and July of 1995 over that of the previous
months of the year.  Utilization of warehouse space for storage, which averaged
60% in the first quarter of 1995 and increased to 78% in June 1995, increased to
over 90% in July 1995.  If these trends continue there should be significant
improvement in operating results.

Impact of Inflation

   Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Operating activities for the six months ended June 30,1995 used cash of
$75,000. Proceeds from the sale of a finance subsidiary's loan portfolio
provided cash of $467,000, $70,000 was received from sale of securities, and
$238,000 from the issuance of promissory notes. Repayment of notes payable
related to the finance subsidiary's operations used $510,000, $131,000 was used
for installment payments on the term loan and other net uses required $71,000
which resulted in a decrease in cash of $12,000 for the six months ended June
30,1995.

   At June 30, 1995, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,642,000
which included $1,803,000 for Interpak.  The Interpak working capital deficit
includes $1,000,000 under a revolving loan agreement that expires February 1996
but which is expected to be refinanced when it becomes due although there can be
no assurance that the company will be able to refinance or refinance on the same
terms. It is expected that Interpak's operations should be sufficient to
generate cash flow to meet its other obligations as they become due.  Included
in the balance of the deficit is approximately $1,901,000 of various accounts
and notes payable to affiliates, as to which the Company is confident of its
ability to fund these amounts as needed from operations and sales of investment
securities.

   Future liquidity sources for the parent company will consist of reimbursement
of general and administrative expenses from subsidiaries and affiliates,
available funds from the earnings of Interpak and possible sales of investment
securities. On a longer term basis, the Company may be required to seek
additional liquidity through debt and equity offerings of the Company and/or its
subsidiaries.

                                                                   PAGE 11 OF 12
<PAGE>   12


   Interpak Holdings, Inc., the Company's principal subsidiary, relies on cash
flow from operations and has a revolving line of credit of $1 million, secured
by accounts receivable, which was fully borrowed at June 30, 1995.  The loan
matures in February 1996 with a reduction to $850,000 at August 31, 1995.
Interest is at prime plus 1%.

   The Company and its subsidiaries have no significant commitments for capital
expenditures.
