                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                            September 30, 1996



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated 
balance sheets as of September 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995, the related 
consolidated statements of operations for the three month and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated statements of stock-
holders' equity ended September 30, 1996, and cash flows for the nine month 
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, reflect all adjustments (consist-
ing of normal recurring accruals and elimination of significant intercompany 
transactions and balances) necessary for a fair presentation of Dover Invest-
ments Corporation ("the Company").  

The Company elected to wind up and dissolve its wholly-owned subsidiary, H.F. 
Properties, Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, GIC Investments Corpora-
tion, effective February 16, 1996.  All remaining assets have been distri-
buted to the Company as the sole shareholder.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted.  Accordingly, these statements  
should be read in conjunction with the statements and notes thereto included 
in the Company's 1995 Form 10-KSB and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, included therein.  The results of operations for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of 
the results which may be expected for the entire year.

Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current 
year presentation.  The symbols for the Class A Common Stock and the Class 
B Common Stock are "DOVR-A" and "DOVR-B", respectively.

2.  NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is computed, on a combined basis, for the two 
classes of common stock, Class A and Class B.  Computations are based upon 
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The weighted 
average number of Class A and Class B share equivalents used to compute net 
income per share was 968,346 at September 30, 1996, and 1,073,484 at Septem-
ber 30, 1995. 






3. CONTINGENCIES

The Company, as the parent company of a group of affiliated corporations 
filing consolidated Federal income tax returns, was contingently liable for 
any liabilities arising with respect to Homestead Savings, a Federal Savings 
and Loan Association ("the Association") from such returns filed for tax years 
through August 6, 1991.  The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed 
examinations of all such federal income tax returns from 1985 through 1990;
no examination of the 1991 return is anticipated.  The resolution of such exam-
inations involved settlements which were approved by the Congressional Joint 
Tax Committee.  Pursuant to such settlements, the Company received 
$3,987,918.66 from the IRS in July 1995, $1,029,660.89 of which represents 
interest.  Additionally, the Company has been allowed a loss carry forward 
from 1990 of $37,853,056, due to the worthlessness of the stock of the As-
sociation, which occurred in the taxable year ended December 31, 1990. 

The Company filed a lawsuit against the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") in 
1994, based on the RTC's disallowance of certain claims made against the RTC by 
the Company in its capacity as a creditor of the Association. This lawsuit has 
now been settled.  A Final Judgment was entered on January 18, 1996.  Most of 
the claims made by the Company against the RTC had to do with the Company's 
potential tax liability to the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board of the State of 
California ("FTB").   All tax claims have now been resolved. 

The result of the above is that the contingent liabilities for taxes and/or RTC 
matters as described above have been satisfied in full.

The Company has an agreement to indemnify its directors who formerly served as 
directors and/or officers of the Association and its subsidiaries.  The RTC, in
a letter dated March 10, 1993, advised the present and former directors and 
officers of the Association and its subsidiaries of potential claims that the 
RTC may assert against them for the recovery of losses suffered by the Associa-
tion and its subsidiaries in connection with certain specified actions and
loan transactions.  No action has been taken by the RTC on this matter for 
quite some time and the RTC went out of existence on December 31, 1995.  
Counsel to the Company have advised the Company that in light of these
circumstances and the likelihood of the expiration of the statute of 
limitation, they do not see any prospect of material liability to the RTC.  
Consequently, the Company has not provided for any further contingencies on 
these matters.

















MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND         PART I
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                                 ITEM 2   


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1996, the Company's investment in property held for develop-
ment and homes held for sale increased $193,000 from its carrying value at Dec-
ember 31, 1995.  This increase resulted from the capitalized expenditures for 
the ongoing development of real property located in San Leandro, California 
(the "Marina Vista property"), and the subdivision located in Tracy, California 
(the "Tracy Joint Venture").  At September 30, 1996, the Company has improved 
150 lots, and has built 106 houses at the Marina Vista property.  Aside from 
five model homes, which are not for sale, all of the houses have been sold.  
The company will commence construction in October on an additional 16 houses.  
The Marina Vista property has land for an additional 127 lots.

The Glenbriar Joint Venture property located in Tracy was rezoned and has pre-
liminary development approval for 395 lots and a tentative map for 120 of those 
lots was submitted to the Tracy Planning Commission.  The Glenbriar Joint 
Venture is proceeding to complete the city finance plan and related map.  The 
Glenbriar Venture #2 has zoning and preliminary development approval for appro-
ximately 470 lots.  The final development plan was submitted to the Tracy Plan-
ning Commission for approval.  The Company anticipates developing and selling 
lots in both the Glenbriar Joint Venture property and the Glenbriar #2 
property.

During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company used its liquidity
to fund expenditures in connection with the Marina Vista property, the Tracy 
Joint Ventures, and its general and administrative expenses. The Company met 
its funding requirements primarily from cash reserves.  The Company also ob-
tained construction financing from private sources secured by the homes under 
construction.  The Company's primary source of liquidity in the future will 
continue to be from revenues generated from home sales, lot sales, and from 
construction financing when deemed appropriate.  The Company believes that it 
will have sufficient cash available to complete the development and construc-
tion of the Marina Vista property, it will have the ability to pay off the 
debt discussed below when it becomes due, and make its required contributions 
to the Tracy Joint Ventures.

The Company is the obligor on a $2,500,000 promissory note carried back by the 
seller of the Marina Vista property. The Company made the required principal 
payment of $2,310,814 on  September 30, 1996 therefore reducing the loan amount 
to $2,500,000.  The note requires a final principal payment of $2,500,000 on 
March 29, 1997.  At September 30, 1996, the Company has outstanding construc-
tion borrowing of $1,346.850 secured by lots and homes under construction with 
a maturity date of September 30, 1997.  The Company also has previously obtained
an $802,000 loan secured by the four model homes.  The loans on the model homes 
mature on September 30, 1998.  The interest rates on the construction loan and 
model homes are prime plus one and one half percent and eleven and one quarter 
percent, respectively.






RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company had a net loss of $44,000,
compared to a net income of $589,000 for the same period in 1995.  For the 
nine months ended September 30, 1996, net loss was $438,000 compared to a net
income of 422,000 for the same period in 1995. Total sales for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1996, were $5,165,000, resulting in a gross profit of 
$415,000, compared to $4,083,000 in sales and a gross profit of $827,000 for
the same period in 1995. 

The real estate market for new homes in the San Francisco Bay Area is highly 
competitive.  Factors such as interest rates and general economic conditions 
influence the prices at which the Company is able to sell homes at Marina
Vista.  The Company noted a slowing in the real estate market during 1995 and 
therefore adjusted the prices to remain competitive in the market environment
resulting in reduced profit margins..  Sales have picked up substantially
during the last few months.  Of the 25 homes currently under construction, 
all have been sold, 9 have been closed. 

The interest income of $21,000 in the second quarter of 1996 and $106,000 for 
the nine months in 1996 were attributable to the Company investing its funds 
in overnight investments which are collateralized by mortgage-backed
certificates and are held on behalf of the Company by the dealers who 
arranged the transaction.  At September 30, 1996, such overnight investments 
were liquidated.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, general and administrative 
expenses increased by $210,000, from those expenses incurred in the same 
period in 1995.  The apparent increase is due to the fact that the 1995
administrative expenses were reduced due to reimbursements of professional fees 
received by the Company in connection with the IRS settlement and claims against
the RTC.  At September 30, 1996, the cost of sales increased by $1,494,000, 
compared to the same period in 1995.
