CUSIP No. 694329-10-3

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.

     Mr Grossi purchased the Shares to acquire a significant interest in
Pacific Gateway for the purposes of investment and to effect the business
strategies and operations of Pacific Gateway.  Mr. Grossi is a nominee for
election as a director of Pacific Gateway at the Annual Meeting of shareholders
of Pacific Gateway scheduled for July 21, 1997.  He was nominated by the
management of Pacific Gateway at the suggestion of Richard M. Osborne, the sole
manager of the Fund and Chairman of the Board of Pacific Gateway, and Mr.
Grossi intends to work with Mr. Osborne and the other Directors to direct the
operations of Pacific Gateway in a manner to maximize shareholder values.

     Pursuant to the instructions for items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
Schedule 13D and except as set forth above in this Item 4, Mr. Grossi presently
has no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the
following:

     (i)   an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,

     Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  According to the most recently available filing with the Securities
and Exchange Commission by Pacific Gateway, there are 3,892,596 Shares
outstanding.  

     Mr. Grossi beneficially owns 264,800 Shares or approximately 6.9% of the
outstanding Shares.  Because (1) the Fund contributed funds to Mr. Grossi to
allow him to purchase the Shares, (2) Mr. Grossi is a member of the Fund and
(3) at the suggestion of Mr. Osborne, the sole manager of the Fund, Mr. Grossi
was nominated for election as a director of Pacific Gateway, Mr. Grossi and the
Fund may be deemed a group under Rule 13d-5(b) promulgated under the Exchange
Act.  Mr. Grossi disclaims that he is a member of a group with the Fund.  The
Fund has no beneficial ownership interest in the Shares owned by Mr. Grossi,
and because members of the Fund, other than Mr. Osborne, lack any of the
requisite powers of beneficial ownership with respect to securities owned by
the Fund, Mr. Grossi has no beneficial ownership interest in any Shares owned
by the Fund.

     (b)  Mr. Grossi has sole power to vote, or to direct the voting of, and
the sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the  Shares owned by
him.

     (c)  During the past 60 days, Mr. Grossi purchased, in private
transactions, 264,800 Shares for a price of $6.00 per Share on June 17, 1997
and June 23, 1997.   

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect
to Securities of the Issuer.

     None. 

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

     None.
