                            September 30, 1998


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of  management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated 
balance sheets as of September 30, 1998, and December 31, 1997, the related 
consolidated statements of operations for the three month and nine month 
periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the consolidated statements of 
stockholders' equity for the nine months period ended September 30, 1998, and 
cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, 
reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and 
elimination of significant inter-company 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 1997 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, 1998, 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

weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The weighted average 
number of Class A and Class B share equivalents used to compute basic income 
per share was 1,042,697 at September 30, 1998, and 990,913 at September 30, 
1997.  Diluted income per share took into consideration the outstanding stock 
options.




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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1998, the Company's investment in property held for 
development and homes held for sale increased by $5,364,000 from its carrying 
value at December 31, 1997.  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 September 30, 1998, 
the Company has completed lot improvements at Marina Vista on two hundred and 
forty nine lots. Of the two hundred and forty nine lots, ten are part of a 
model complex, one hundred and eighty three  have been built, sold and closed, 
twenty five are under construction and have contracts of sale.   

The Company continues to be part of a Glenbriar Joint Venture (the "GJV") 
with Westco Community Builders, Inc. ("Westco") in Tracy, California which 
originally owned one hundred and eight acres of  land comprising a portion
of the Glenbriar Estates Project.  During 1996, the Company formed a limited 
liability company with Westco, known as Glenbriar Venture #2 which  holds 
options to purchase approximately one hundred and thirty one additional acres 
of land also comprising a portion of the Glenbriar Estates Project.  GJV 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 approximately three hundred and eighty two 
lots on the GJV property and approximately five hundred lots on the Glenbriar 
Venture #2 property.  The tentative subdivision maps provide for four lot 
types ranging in size from 6,000 square feet to one acre in size.  In  1997, 
GJV completed  rough grading of the entire GJV property and  has installed 
the principal off tract and "backbone" improvements.  GJV has obtained final 
subdivision  maps covering one hundred and eighty  of the 6,000 square foot
lots (units 5, 6 & 7),  and eighty two of the 7,200 square foot lots (units 
1 & 2) and 38 lots which are approximately 10,000 square feet or larger 
(unit 3).  Units 5 & 6 were sold  in an "unfinished" state to an unrelated  
merchant builder.  This builder has sold  houses on all of the lots in 
units 5 & 6.  GJV had also granted this builder an option to purchase an 
additional eighty eight lots (unit 7) in an "unfinished" state, and the 
builder has exercised the option and the sale has closed.   GJV currently has 
one other final subdivision map on file with the City of Tracy pending
approval covering forty six  lots (unit 4).  GJV intends to sell these lots 
to a related entity,  the Tracy Residential Venture Partners, LLC, in order 
to develop these lots by construction of single family homes for sale to the 
public. Additional subdivision maps will be submitted for approval as the 
market will permit.  Glenbriar Venture #2 currently has one final subdivision 
map for one hundred and twenty three lots (unit 8) on file with the City of 
Tracy pending approval.

During 1997, the Company entered into agreements with Westco whereby Westco 
would construct and sell  higher priced custom single family homes in the 
Silicon Valley Region of California.  The profits from these homes will
be split between the partners upon sale.  The properties have been purchased 
and construction has commenced.  

The Company formed a limited liability company with Westco, known as the Tracy 
Residential Venture Partners, LLC (the "TRVP") for the purpose of building 
and selling single family homes on  eighty two 7,200 square foot lots in Units 
1 & 2.  Model homes have been completed.  TRVP has also started construction 
on seventy homes, of which all seventy are under contracts of sale.


During the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 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 and lot 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.

At September 30, 1998, the Company  borrowed a total of  $9,687,000  to pay 
for home construction costs.  The loans are secured by lots and homes under 
construction and will be paid from the proceeds of home and lot sales. 
The loans bear interest at the rate of prime plus 1.25 percent and prime plus 
1.50 percent per annum and mature on December 31, 1998 and September 29, 
1999. The Company also obtained an $802,000 loan secured by  four model 
homes.  The loan bears interest at the rate of 11.25 percent per annum and 
matures on June 30, 1999. 



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the Company had net income of  
$124,000, compared  to  $587,000 for the same period in 1997.  For the nine 
months ended September 30, 1998, net income was $923,000, compared to 
$501,000 for the same period in 1997. Total sales for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1998, were $14,908,000, resulting in a gross profit of 
$2,770,000, compared to $13,839,000 in sales and a gross profit of $1,992,000 
for the same period in 1997.

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.

Interest income in the third  quarter of 1998 increased to $48,000, compared 
to $30,000 in 1997, due to higher cash balances from increased sales and 
notes receivable.

For the nine  months ended September 30, 1998,  general and administrative 
expenses increased by $24,000, from those expenses incurred in the same 
period in 1997.  The expense increase resulted primarily from an increase in
payroll and administrative expenses.  At September 30, 1998,  home and lot 
sales increased by $1,069,000, the cost of sales increased by $288,000, 
compared to the same period in 1997.  The increase resulted  from the sale
and  construction of a larger number of homes and lot sales.
