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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Month Periods Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

    Revenue increased by $585,000 (17%) to $4,088,000 in the 1995 period
compared to $3,503,000 in 1994 primarily due to an increase in packaging and
storage volume for Interpak Terminals.

    Operating expenses increased $176,000 (6%) to $3,082,000 in 1995 from
$2,906,000 in 1994 due to increased labor cost to accomodate the increase in
volume.

    Selling, general and administative expenses decreased $160,000 (14%) in 1995
to $982,000 compared to $1,142,000 in 1994 of which $85,000 was due to
reductions in personnel at Interpak Terminals and $60,000 was due to reductions
at Arcadian Financial following the sale of its loan portfolio in the second
quarter.

    Gain on sale of securities of $163,000 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.

    Equity in earnings of Intersystems, Inc. resulted in income of $21,000 in
1995 compared to a loss of $99,000. The 1994 period had been adversely impacted
by a special non recurring charge for damage to a customer's conveying equipment
resulting from a harmonic vibration.

    Interest and debt expense increased by $55,000 (30%) to $237,000 in 1995
from $182,000 in 1994 due to increased borrowings by Interpak Terminals.

Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

    Revenue of $11,183,000 in 1995 was relatively unchanged from $11,238,000 in
the 1994 period.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $199,000 (6%)
primarily due to a reduction of $88,000 in Arcadian Financial's expenses
following the sale of its loan portfolio and $80,000 of income attributable to
Interpak Terminal's share of a real estate joint venture.

    Gain on sales of securities of $293,000 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.

                                  PAGE 10 of 13


<PAGE>   11

    Increase in underlying equity of Intersystems, Inc. was $40,000 in 1995
compared to $371,000 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 $151,000 (28%) to $687,000 in 1995
from $536,000 in 1994 due to increased borrowings by Interpak Terminals.

Impact of Inflation

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,1995 used cash
of $76,000. Proceeds from the sale of a finance subsidiary's loan portfolio
provided cash of $467,000, $125,000 was received from an affiliate, $172,000 was
received from sale of securities, and $318,000 from the issuance of promissory
notes. Repayment of notes payable related to the finance subsidiary's operations
used $660,000, $200,000 was used for installment payments on the term loan,
$143,000 for additions to equipment and other net uses required, $19,000 which
resulted in a decrease in cash of $16,000 for the six months ended June 30,1995.

    At September 30, 1995, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$3,532,000 which included $1,785,000 for Interpak. The Interpak working capital
deficit includes $850,000 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 $1,850,000 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.
