                                     PART 1
ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

General

      LBO Capital Corp. (the  "Registrant")  was organized under the laws of the
State of Colorado on October 8, 1987.  The  Registrant  was formed  based on the
belief of its management that there are business  opportunities that, for one or
more reasons, are available for acquisition by the Registrant.

      On March 15, 1988, the Registrant completed a public offering of 3,000,000
Units, each Unit consisting of one share of its common stock, one Callable Class
A Warrant,  one Callable Class B Warrant and one Callable  Class C Warrant.  The
Warrants  are  detachable  from the Units and may be  traded  separately  in the
over-the-counter  market.  Each Class A Warrant  entitles the holder  thereof to
purchase  at a price of  $0.50,  one  share of  Common  Stock at any time  until
February 26, 1989. Each Class B Warrant  entitled the holder thereof to purchase
at a price of $0.75 one share of Common Stock at any time until August 26, 1989.
Each Class C Warrant  entitled  the holder  thereof  to  purchase  at a price of
$1.00,  one share of Common  Stock at any time  until  February  26,  1990.  The
expiration  dates of these warrants were  subsequently  extended by the Board of
Directors to expire on various dates, the latest being July 25, 1998. A Form 8-K
was filed on July 14, 1997 reporting this extension. The Registrant received net
proceeds of approximately $474,300 after payment of all costs of the offering.

      Since its inception,  the  Registrant  has directed its activities  toward
evaluating  potential  business  opportunities  with the goal of  acquiring  and
continuing  one or more business  opportunities.  The  Registrant may acquire an
existing   business   which   may  be  a   corporation,   partnership   or  sole
proprietorship.  One form which such a business  combination might take would be
an  exchange  of the  Registrant's  stock  for stock of the  acquired  business.
However,  the  Registrant may exchange its common stock to acquire the assets of
this entity, or may purchase a percentage of the entity outright.

      The Registrant has evaluated and attempted to acquire a number of entities
to date.

ACQUISITION OF ASSETS

Ajay Sports, Inc.

      On April 3, 1989 LBO  acquired an  aggregate  of  1,880,000  shares of the
restricted common stock of Ajay Sports,  Inc. ("Ajay") for a total cash purchase
price of $182,000.

      In  1991,  the  Registrant  pledged  400,000  shares  of Ajay to a bank as
collateral for $300,000 in loans to Hendricks  Manufacturing Company. On July 1,
1991, this bank declared the loan in default and foreclosed on the shares.

      The 1,480,000 and 200,000  warrants  owned by the  Registrant  represented
7.16% of the total  shares of Ajay common stock  outstanding  as of December 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996. The decrease is the result of new shares issued.

      Ajay's Common Stock ("AJAY") and Units ("AJAYU") are trading on the Nasdaq
Small Cap and the Warrants  ("AJAYW")  have been traded  over-the-counter  since
1989 and are reported by the National  Quotation  Service.  The following  table
sets forth the range of high and low trade prices for the common stock:



                                         HI                    LOW
                                       ------                 ------
      1997
      ----
      First Quarter                    $  .31                 $  .16
      Second Quarter                   $  .34                 $  .13
      Third Quarter                    $  .28                 $  .19
      Fourth Quarter                   $  .34                 $  .13


      On June 10, 1993,  Thomas W. Itin,  President and Chairman of the Board of
Directors  of the  Registrant,  was elected to the  positions of Chairman of the
Board of Directors and Chief Executive  Officer of Ajay Sports,  Inc. It is felt
that the direct intervention by the Registrant's  management into the operations
of Ajay would have a positive  effect on the Ajay  earnings and the value of the
Ajay stock held by the Registrant.

      Business  Ajay  Sports,  Inc.,  through its  operating  subsidiaries  Ajay
Leisure  Products,  Inc., Palm Springs Golf and Leisure Life, Inc., is a leading
manufacturer and distributor of golf bags, clubs, carts,  accessories and casual
living furniture throughout the United States.

Enercorp, Inc.

      On November 21, 1994,  the  Registrant  bought 2,667 shares of Enercorp,
Inc. for $8,702.  During 1996, the Registrant  bought 12,674 additional shares
of Enercorp, Inc. for $39,694.

      Enercorp,  Inc. is a business  development  company under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Competition

      The Registrant expects to encounter substantial competition in its efforts
to locate  businesses for  acquisition.  The primary  competition  for desirable
business  acquisitions is expected to come from other small companies  organized
and funded  for  purposes  similar  to the  Registrant,  small  venture  capital
partnerships and corporations,  small business investment  companies and wealthy
individuals.  Should  the  Registrant  elect to  engage  in a  leveraged  buyout
acquisition,  competition may also be anticipated from investment bankers.  Many
of  these  entities  have  significantly   greater  experience,   resources  and
managerial  capabilities  than  the  Registrant  and are  therefore  in a better
position than the Registrant to obtain access to businesses.

Employees

As of December 31, 1997, the Registrant had no employees.

ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES

      The   Registrant   currently   uses  office  space  provided  by  Acrodyne
Corporation,  a company  whose  Chairman  and  President  is also  Chairman  and
President of the  Registrant.  The space is used for purposes of  administration
and  development.  While the  Registrant  does not pay any  rent,  it does pay a
monthly fee of $150 for the direct operating  expenses.  The Registrant believes
its current facilities are sufficient for its present business activity.


ITEM 3.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The  Registrant  is not a  present  party to any  material  pending  legal
proceedings and no such proceedings were known as of the filing date.


ITEM 4.     SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

      No matter was submitted to a vote of the Registrant's  shareholders during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Management and Others.

      None of the Registrant's  officers and directors devote their full time to
the Registrant's  affairs and such persons may be affiliated with other business
entities and  enterprises,  some of which may be formed for similar  purposes as
the  Registrant  and thus be in direct  competition  with the  Registrant.  Such
activities  may result in such persons  being  exposed to conflicts of interests
from time to time.  The  Registrant  has adopted no conflict of interest  policy
with respect to such  transactions.  However,  the officers and directors of the
Registrant  recognize their fiduciary obligation to treat the Registrant and its
shareholders fairly in any such future activities.

Certain Business Relationships.

      In the Registrant's last full fiscal year the Registrant made payments for
property and services in excess of five percent of the Registrant's consolidated
gross  revenues to Acrodyne,  a company whose  Chairman and President is a major
stockholder  of the  Registrant.  The Board of Directors of the  Registrant  has
reviewed  and  approved  the use of Acrodyne  and has  determined  that the fees
charged the  Registrant by Acrodyne are as favorable as could be incurred by any
other independent,  third party business consultant.  It is anticipated that the
Registrant will continue to utilize Acrodyne in the future.  The total sum which
the Registrant paid Acrodyne for the year ended December 31, 1997 was $1,880 for
the above mentioned consulting services and out-of-pocket travel expenses, staff
time spent for accounting,  record keeping,  and utilities,  but did not include
fees for services of the Chairman.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


Board of Directors
LBO Capital Corp.

We have  audited the  accompanying  balance  sheets of LBO Capital  Corp.  as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations, changes in
stockholders'  deficit,  and cash flows for the years ended  December  31, 1997,
1996  and  1995.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing  the  account  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of LBO Capital  Corp.  as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the results of its  operations and its cash flows
for the  years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996  and 1995 in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                        December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995




Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Organization and Business

            LBO Capital Corp. (the  "Company") was  incorporated on October 8,
            1987  under  the laws of the State of  Colorado.  The  Company  is
            engaged  in  evaluating  and  investing  in other  companies.  The
            Company was considered to be in the development  stage in 1987 and
            began operations on March 15, 1988.

      Cash Equivalents

            The  Company  considers  all  highly  liquid  investments  with  a
            maturity of three months or less cash equivalents.

      Equipment and Depreciation

            Equipment  was  stated  at cost.  Depreciation  was  computed  for
            financial  reporting  purposes  on a  straight-line  basis over an
            estimated  life of 5 years.  Depreciation  expense  for the  years
            ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995 was $0,  $0 and  $6,323
            respectively.   At  December  31,  1995,  the  remaining  computer
            equipment   that  was   previously   leased  to  an  investee  was
            determined  to be  obsolete  and  written  off  the  books  of the
            Company.

      Income Taxes

            At  December  31,  1997,  the  Company  has a net  operating  loss
            available for carryforward totaling  approximately  $903,878.  The
            operating  loss  carryforward  expires in  various  amounts by the
            year ended December 31, 2012.

      Net Loss Per Share

            Net loss per  share is  computed  using  weighted  average  shares
            outstanding  without  giving effect to the common stock  warrants,
            as the effect would be antidilutive.

Note 2. Marketable Securities

      The Company's  marketable  securities available for sale are recorded at
      fair market value.

                                         Market Value

Note 3. Investments

      On April 3,  1989,  the  Company  acquired  an  aggregate  of  1,880,000
      restricted  common  shares of Ajay  Sports,  Inc.  ("Ajay")  for a total
      purchase  price of  $182,000.  As a result of  recording  the  Company's
      equity in net losses of Ajay, the carrying  value of this  investment is
      zero at December 31, 1996 and 1995.  The Company also  obtained  200,000
      stock  warrants of Ajay at that time.  Each warrant  enables the Company
      to  purchase   one  share  of  Ajay  common   stock  at  $2.40  and  was
      subsequently  reduced to $.34 per share.  These warrants expire June 13,
      1999.


                                       F7

      In  March  1991,  the  Company   pledged  400,000  shares  of  its  Ajay
      investment as security for bank loans to an  acquisition  candidate.  On
      June, 1, 1991,  the bank declared the loan in default and  foreclosed on
      the shares.


      All of the Ajay shares are pledged as security  for a note  payable (see
      note 4).

      The  stock of Ajay is traded  over-the-counter  and is  reported  by the
      National  Quotation  Service.  The following  table sets forth the range
      of high and low trade prices given quarterly by NASDAQ.

Note 4. Notes Payable

      During 1997, the Company borrowed $5,180 from Dearborn Wheels,  Inc. The
      proceeds were used to meet current operating needs.

      On  December  2,  1996,  the  Registrant  had a change in its  borrowing
      arrangements.  The Registrant  borrowed  $325,790 from Dearborn  Wheels,
      Inc. to repay a note payable to Michigan  National  Bank.  The principal
      balance as of December  31,  1997,  was  $506,971.  The loan is at prime
      plus 2%  interest  and is  secured by all the  intangible  assets of the
      Registrant.   Dearborn   Wheels,   Inc.  is  held  in  majority  by  the
      Registrant's  President's  spouse.  This note  bears  interest  of prime
      plus 2%,  matures on August 26, 1998 and is secured by all the assets of
      the Company.

Note 5. Capital Stock

      The Company  completed a public offering on March 15, 1988 consisting of
      3,000,000  units at $.20 each.  Each unit consisted of one common share,
      one callable class A common stock purchase  warrant,  one callable Class
      B common stock  purchase  warrant and one callable  Class C common stock
      purchase  warrant.  Each Class A warrant  entitles the warrant holder to
      purchase  one share of  common  stock  for  $.50,  each  Class B warrant
      entitles  the warrant  holder to purchase  one share of common stock for
      $.75,  and each  Class C common  stock  purchase  warrant  entitles  the
      warrant  holder to purchase one share of common for $1.00.  The Class A,
      B and C warrants were  originally  exercisable  within twelve,  eighteen
      and  twenty-four  months  respectively,  from  February  26,  1988.  All
      warrants  have been  extended  until July 25,  1998.  As of December 31,
      1997,  no  warrants  had been  exercised.  The  Company has the right to
      call any or all warrants at a redemption price of $.0001 per warrant.

      On June 3,  1992 the  Company  issued  3,000,000  shares  of its  common
      stock,  valued at $.04 per share (fair  market  value on that date,  per
      the  National  Quotation  Bureau,  Inc.),  to an officer and director in
      exchange for a reduction  of $120,000 in a note to a related company.

      The  Company  granted to its  directors a total of  1,300,000  warrants,
      expiring  December 4, 1998.  Each warrant  enables the owner to purchase
      one share of common stock for $.04 per share.

      The  Company  does  not  employ  any  personnel.  Per a  management  fee
      agreement with Acrodyne Corporation,  a related entity, the Company pays
      direct labor costs plus overhead for management services rendered.

Note 8.  Use of Estimates

      The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
      accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to make estimates
      and assumptions  that affect certain  reported  amounts and disclosures.
      Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
