                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               June 30, 1997


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of  management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated
balance sheets as of June 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, the related 
consolidated statements of operations for the three month and six month 
periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated statements of 
stockholders' equity for the six months period ended June 30, 1997, and cash 
flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, reflect all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and elimination of 
significant intercompany transactions and balances) necessary for a fair 
presentation of Dover Investments Corporation ("the Company").

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally 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 1996 Form 10-KSB and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, included therein.  The results of  operations for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the 
results which may be expected for the entire year.

The symbols for the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock are 
"DOVR-A" and "DOVR-B", respectively.

2.   NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net 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 985,012 at June 30, 1997, and 975,119 at June 30, 1996. 

3.   CONTINGENCIES

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 Association 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 contingencies 
on these matters.



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



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1997, the Company's investment in property held for development 
and homes held for sale increased by $474,000 from its carrying value at 
December 31, 1996.  This increase resulted primarily from capitalized
expenditures for the ongoing development of real property located in 
San Leandro, California (the "Marina Vista property"), and the subdivision 
in Tracy, California (the "Glenbriar  Joint Venture").  At June 30, 1997, 
the Company has completed lot improvements on one hundred and fifty lots and 
partial improvements on ninety nine additional lots.  Of the one hundred and 
fifty lots with completed lot improvements, ten are part of a model complex, 
one hundred and twenty have been built, sold and closed, twenty are under 
construction and presold.  The Company has commenced construction on an 
additional fourteen  houses, thirteen of which  have contracts of sale.  
The market for homes at Marina Vista improved substantially during the latter 
part of 1996 and in the first half of 1997.
  
The Company continues to be part of a Joint Venture (the "Glenbriar Joint 
Venture") with Westco Community Builders, Inc. ("Westco") in Tracy, 
California which owns one hundred and eight acres of land comprising a 
portion of the Glenbriar Estates Project.  During 1996, the Company also 
formed a limited liability company with Westco, known as Glenbriar Venture #2 
which holds options to purchase approximately one hundred and thirty one  
acres of land also comprising a portion of the Glenbriar Estates Project.  
Glenbriar Joint Venture and Glenbriar Venture #2 have succeeded in rezoning 
the Glenbriar Estates property to Low Density Residential and have obtained 
the approval of new tentative subdivision maps which provide for up to three 
hundred and ninety five lots on the Glenbriar Joint Venture property and up 
to five hundred lots on the Glenbriar Venture #2 property.  In December
of 1996, Glenbriar Joint Venture filed final subdivision maps and improvement 
plans with the city of Tracy covering certain off tract improvements for one 
hundred and seventy two lots.  At June 30, 1997, Glenbriar Joint Venture is
negotiating with various builders for the sale of lots upon approval of the 
final subdivision maps.  The Company anticipates selling lots to merchant 
builders first in the Glenbriar Venture property and thereafter in the 
Glenbriar Venture #2 property.

During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company used its liquidity to 
fund expenditures in connection with the Marina Vista property, the Tracy 
Joint Venture, and its general and administrative expenses.  The Company met
its funding requirements primarily from cash reserves and from revenues from 
home sales.  The Company also obtained 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 has  sufficient cash available
to complete the development and construction of the Marina Vista property, 
as well as  pay off the debt discussed below when it becomes due, and make 
its required contributions to the Glenbriar  Joint Ventures.






On March 28, 1997, the Company made the final principal payment of $2,500,000 
to the seller of the  Marina Vista property.  The seller released the 
remaining property from the lien of its deed of trust.  At June 30, 1997, the
Company has outstanding construction borrowing of  $3,316,850 secured by lots 
and homes under construction with a maturity date of September 30, 1998.  
The Company also has previously obtained an $802,000 loan secured by the four 
model homes.  The loans on the model homes mature on June 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 June 30, 1997, the Company had a net loss of  $72,000, 
compared to a  loss of  $150,000 for the same period in 1996.  For the six 
months ended June 30, 1997, net loss was $137,000, compared to a  loss of
$394,000 for the same period in 1996. Total sales for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997, were $4,870,000, resulting in a gross profit of $518,000, 
compared to $2,446,000 in sales and a gross profit of  $86,000 for the same
period in 1996.

The Company expects that the Marina Vista project and the Glenbriar Joint 
Ventures will provide a profit from the sale of homes and lots.  Factors 
such as interest rates and general economic conditions influence the prices 
at which the Company is able to sell homes.  In order to maintain its market 
share of new home sales, the Company keeps home prices competitive with other 
builders of a similar product in the vicinity of the property.

The interest income of  $13,000 in the second quarter of 1997 was  
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 June 30, 1997, such overnight investments were liquidated.

For the six months ended June 30, 1997, general and administrative expenses 
increased by $44,000, from those expenses incurred in the same period 
in 1996.  The expense increase resulted from an increase in administrative
expenses.  At June 30, 1997, home sales increased by $2,424,000, the cost of 
sales increased by $1,992,000, compared to the same period in 1996.  The 
increase resulted from the sale and  construction of a larger number of
homes.
