                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                              March 31, 1997



1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated
balance sheets as of March 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, the related 
consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996,  the consolidated statements of stockholders' equity
for the three months period ended March 31, 1997, and cash flows for the 
three month periods ended March 31, 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 quarter 
ended March 31, 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 968,346 at March 31, 1997, and 975,199 at March 31, 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 March 31, 1997, the Company's investment in property held for development 
and homes held for sale decreased by $844,000 from its carrying value at 
December 31, 1996.  This decrease resulted primarily from a reduction of  
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 March 31, 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 nine have been built, sold and closed, twenty nine are under 
construction and presold and two are under construction and are for sale.  
The market for homes at Marina Vista improved substantially during the latter
part of 1996 and in the first part 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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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 additional 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.

The Company made the final principal payment of $2,500,000 on March 28, 1997 
to the seller of the Marina Vista property.  The seller released the 
remaining property from the lien of its deed of trust.  At March 31, 1997, 
the Company has outstanding construction borrowing of $1,596,850 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 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 March 31, 1997, the Company had a net loss of $65,000, 
compared to a loss of $244,000 for the same period in 1995.  Total sales for 
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, were $2,448,000, resulting in a gross 
profit of $276,000, 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 $23,000 in the first 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 March 31, 1997, 
such overnight investments were liquidated.

For the  three months ended March 31, 1997, general and administrative 
expenses increased by $49,000 from those expenses incurred in the same 
period in 1996.  The expense increase resulted from an increase in 
administrative expenses. At March 31, 1997, the cost of sales decreased 
by $188,000, compared to the same period in 1996.
