               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                             June 30, 2000



1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
from the records of Dover Investments Corporation without audit. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders.


2.   Net Earnings per Share

     Basic earnings 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 shares  used to compute basic income
per share was 1,142,790 at June 30, 2000, and 1,063,946 at June 30, 1999.
Diluted income per share took into consideration the outstanding stock options.

Marina Vista

     The Company completed development of its Marina Vista project in San
Leandro, California during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.


Glenbriar Estates

     The Company, through joint ventures with WCB, continued to develop the
Glenbriar Estates project in Tracy, California.  All of the land owned by
the joint ventures is covered by either  vesting tentative subdivision
maps or final subdivision maps.  The joint ventures are currently building
two product types of homes at Glenbriar Estates, the Glenbrook Subdivision
and the Meadowbrook Subdivision. The market for homes at Glenbriar Estates
remained strong during the second quarter of 2000.  Future development in
Tracy is subject to the availability of residential growth allocations issued
by the City of Tracy, which could be negatively affected by the passage of a
citizens initiative during the year 2000, reduced availability of water or
waste water capacity, and the state of the economy generally in the Bay Area.


Higher Priced Homes

     In September of 1999, the Company entered into a joint venture with WCB
to develop one higher priced home.  The property is located in Atherton,
California, and construction is scheduled for completion in approximately
January 2001.


South Tracy Industrial Park

     In 1999 the Company, through a joint venture with WCB, entered into an
agreement to purchase and develop for industrial use approximately fifty
acres of industrial property in the southern part of the City of Tracy.
The South Tracy property currently is zoned industrial.  A tentative
subdivision map has been approved by the City of Tracy, and approval of a
final subdivision map is pending. The Company expects that site improvements
will commence in the fourth quarter of 2000 and that development will
continue for several years.


Coram Plaza Shopping Center, Coram, New York

     In 1999  a limited liability company formed by the Company and three
other parties entered into an agreement to purchase property, with buildings
and improvements, located in the Coram Plaza Shopping Center, in Coram,
New York. The property is intended to be developed for commercial use.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company used liquid
assets primarily to fund expenditures in connection with the Glenbriar
Estates project, the higher priced home, debt service 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 sources of liquidity in the future will continue
to be cash reserves and revenues generated from the development projects,
and construction financing when appropriate.

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had an aggregate outstanding balance of
$6,656,000 under its construction loans.  These loans will be repaid from
the proceeds of home and lot sales.  The loans bear interest at the rate of
prime plus 0.75% through 1.25% per annum and have various maturity dates.


Results of Operations

     For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company had net income of
$1,046,000, compared to $1,562,000 for the same period in 1999.

     For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company closed no home sales
at the Marina Vista project, compared to 11 homes for the same period in 1999.
At the Glenbriar Estates project, the Company closed the sale of 25 homes and
25 lots for the period ended June 30, 2000, compared to 43 homes and 43 lots
for the same period in 1999.

     Total sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $11,379,000,
resulting in a gross profit of $2,346,000 and a gross profit margin of 20.62%,
compared to total sales of $18,591,000, resulting in a gross profit of
$3,490,000 and a gross profit margin of 18.77%, for the same period in 1999.
The decrease in gross profit resulted primarily from a decrease in sales of
homes and lots for the period.

     Minority interest in joint ventures for the second quarter of 2000 was
$1,293,000, compared to $1,361,000 for the same period in 1999. The decrease
in minority interest is attributable to the sale of fewer homes and lots at
the Glenbriar Estates project.

     Selling expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were $519,000,
which represents 4.56% of revenues for that quarter, compared to $856,000,
which represents 4.60% of revenues for the same period in 1999.  The
decrease in selling expenses was primarily due to decreased sales at the
development projects and decreased marketing and related commission expenses.

     General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
were $271,000, compared to $223,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase
of 21.52%.  The increase was primarily due to increased staffing, salary
increases, and increased professional and legal fees.

     Interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $398,000,
compared to $188,000 for the same period in 1999. The increase is
attributable to higher cash balances, increases in interest rates and
increased interest income from notes receivable.

     The Company expects that the development projects will continue to
generate profits.  Factors such as interest rates and general economic
conditions influence the prices at which the Company is able to sell homes
and lots and other developed properties.


Year 2000 Disclosure

     The Company has taken steps to become year 2000 compliant and has
experienced no problems with the year 2000 issue.  The expense to become
Year 2000 compliant  had no material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operation. The Company believes that its subsidiaries
and major suppliers are year 2000 compliant.


ITEM 3.   QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
relates primarily to the Company's investment in high credit quality
securities maintained with three financial institutions and the Company's
notes payable.  The Company's objective in managing its exposure to interest
rate changes is to limit the impact of changes on earnings and cash flow and
to lower its overall borrowing costs.  The Company believes the financial
risks associated with these investments and notes are minimal.
