                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The accompanying  financial statements of LBO Capital Corp. ("the Company")
have been  prepared by the Company  without  audit by  independent  accountants,
except  for the  balance  sheet at  December  31,  1995.  In the  opinion of the
Company's management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary
to present  fairly the  Company's  financial  position at September 30, 1996 and
December 31,  1995,  and the results of  operations  and cash flows for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted.  These unaudited financial  statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's  Annual Report 10-K.  The results for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.

NOTE 2.  INVESTMENTS.

     As previously  reported,  the Company had acquired  1,880,000 shares of the
restricted  common  stock of Ajay  Sports,  Inc.  ("Ajay")  in April  1989,  for
$182,000.  Subsequently,  this was reduced to 1,480,000  shares.  As a result of
recording the Company's equity in net losses of Ajay, the carrying value of this
investment is zero. The Company also obtained  200,000  warrants of Ajay at that
time.  Each  warrant  entitles  the Company to purchase one share of Ajay common
stock at $.34. These warrants expire June 13, 1999.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

  (a) Material Changes in Financial Condition

     Working  capital  decreased  by  $55,012  in the nine  month  period  ended
September  30,  1996 due to the net loss of $36,082  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 and loss on the fair market value of stock of $18,930.
 
     On September  22, 1996,  the note payable of $325,000 to Michigan  National
Bank matured.  Michigan  National Bank extended the maturity date until November
22, 1996.

         (b) Results of Operations

     Registrant's  operations  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996
resulted  in a loss of  $36,082.  This was due  mainly to  interest  expense  of
$32,502.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Registrant is currently  meeting its cash needs from  borrowing from a
company.  There is no assurance  that this will  continue in future  years.  The
Registrant's  principal asset is its investment in marketable securities of Ajay
which it has held for over seven years. These shares are carried at a zero value
on the  Registrant's  Balance  Sheet as a result of recording  the  Registrant's
equity in net losses of Ajay.  The market value of Ajay stock on  September  30,
1996 as listed in the  NASDAQ  Small-Cap  Issues  was  $0.3750  per  share.  The
approximate  market  value of the  Registrant's  1,480,000  shares  and  200,000
warrants were $562,000 on that date. The  Registrant  also owns 15,341 shares of
Enercorp, Inc. common stock. These shares are carried at their fair market value
of $1.8750 per share at September 30, 1996,  which is $19,632 below cost.  These
shares could be liquidated to meet cash flow needs if necessary.

Note 3.           LIQUIDITY

The Company's loan agreement with the United States National Bank of Oregon ("U.
S. Bank") has been renewed as of July 31, 1996 and is subject to a future review
date of May 31,1997.  The renewal includes an increase in the tangible net worth
minimum  covenant  from $2.0  million to $2.5  million.  Additionally,  the debt
leverage  ratio maximum was increased from 4.5 to 5.5 for 1996 and 6.0 for 1997.
At September 30, 1996 the Company's  tangible net worth was  $2,111,000  and the
debt leverage  ratio was 6.74.  During the quarter the Company has made use of a
significant  amount of liquidity as a result of funding additional needs for its
October 1995  acquisition,  Palm Springs Golf,  Inc. Since the  acquisition  the
Company has invested $1.8 million to  reposition  Palm Springs Golf for the 1997
product year.  This is expected to increase  through March 1997. The Company has
taken the  position of  investing  in the future by totally  closing out all old
products  and   shifting  to  totally  new   products  for  future   growth  and
profitability.  This has had a short term adverse  effect on  profitability  for
1996  and  requires   additional   funds  for  the   transition  to  growth  and
profitability.  In this effort the Company has  strengthened its market position
and created, through new product development, a multi-faceted line of golf clubs
and golf bags unique to Palm Springs Golf, Inc. This will be the most innovative
and expanded line of bags in the history of Palm Springs Golf. The new golf club
line  incorporates the latest features and technology  including  oversize woods
and irons and titanium clubs. The line is totally new and is expected to be very
strong in the  marketplace.  Additionally,  the Company has added golf accessory
and golf cart lines to Palm Springs' product offerings for 1997, thus creating a
broad lines  supplier.  In support of this  effort,  Ajay has also  upgraded its
production  capacity in its Mexicali plant for both club  manufacturing  and bag
manufacturing.  This will  support the  expected  sales  increases  for the 1997
product year. To support the present  transition to growth and profitability and
to provide financing for its short and long-term needs, the Company is presently
working on a plan to raise additional capital and debt. The Company  anticipates
additional funds will be available by the end of 1996. The Company had increased
debt of $560,000 as a result of notes to affiliates.

Item 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FINANCIAL  CONDITION - At September 30, 1996 the Company had working  capital of
$4,843,000  as compared  with  $6,324,000  at December  31,  1995.  The ratio of
current  assets to  current  liabilities  at  September  30,  1996 was 1.5 to 1,
compared to 1.7 at December 31, 1995.

At September  30, 1996 the Company had  decreased  its short term  borrowings by
$386,000 since December 31, 1995.

LIQUIDITY - At September 30, 1996 the Company had $10,407,000  outstanding under
its  $13,500,000  loan  agreement  with U. S. Bank.  The seasonal  nature of the
Company's sales creates fluctuating cash flow. With the October 1995 acquisition
of Palm Springs Golf,  Inc. the Company has  undertaken an effort to discontinue
existing  products  within Palm Springs  Golf's lines and replaced them with all
new  product for 1997.  This has had an adverse  impact on Palm  Springs  Golf's
earnings for 1996 and additional  demands for working  capital.  The effort will
result in a complete  new  line-up  for golf  clubs,  golf bags,  gloves and two
additional lines not heretofore  carried,  those being golf accessories and golf
carts.  All of this is targeted to provide the  off-course  specialty  golf shop
market with one source purchasing.  The off course golf specialty sporting goods
market is believed to be four times the size of the mass market. The company has
expanded  its  golf bag and  golf  club  production  facilities  to  accommodate
anticipated additional volume for 1997. This effort has resulted in an increased
cash use at Palm  Springs  Golf of $1.8  million  and is  expected  to  continue
through March 1997. To provide for the additional short and long-term cash needs
and to improve  liquidity,  the Company is working on a plan to raise additional
capital and debt but it is uncertain if this can be concluded by year end 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - During the quarter ended  September 30, 1996 the Company
had net sales of $4,730,000, compared to $3,437,000 for the same period in 1995.
For the nine-month period sales were $19,317,000 compared to $13,376,000 for the
same period in 1995. The overall sales increase  respectively of 38% and 44% was
a result of the two fourth quarter 1995  acquisitions and respectively a 23% and
26% increase in sales on existing operations.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was 15% of net sales,
compared to 15% for the same  period in 1995.  Gross  profit for the  nine-month
period was 18.1% in 1996 and 18.8% in 1995. The decrease in margin is attributed
to the  acquisition  of Palm  Springs  Golf in October  1995 and the  subsequent
inclusion of its results for the nine-month period in 1996.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales
were  26.5% for the third  quarter of 1996,  versus  20% for 1995.  SG&A for the
nine-month  period was 19.2% of sales in 1996 and 15.8% in 1995.  The percentage
increase is due to a soft  furniture  sales  quarter and the  inclusion  of Palm
Springs Golf's financial results in the 1996 periods.  They were not part of the
Company in the same periods of 1995.

Item 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Cont'd)


Operating  loss for the  third  quarter  of 1996  was  $545,000  compared  to an
operating loss of $159,000 for the third quarter of 1995. The operating loss for
the  nine-month  period was $218,000  which  compares to an operating  profit of
$400,000  for  the  same  period  of  1995.  The  increased  operating  loss  is
attributable to the inclusion of Palm Springs Golf.

Interest expense  increased $96,000 in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the
third quarter of 1995 as a result of higher debt to finance the needs of two 4th
quarter  acquisitions,  offset by a lower rate that the Company paid on its bank
lines in the third quarter of 1996 versus the same period of 1995.

As a result of the above,  the net loss for the third quarter  ending  September
30, 1996 was $542,000  compared to net loss of $340,000 for the same period last
year.
