Note 1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial information included herein for the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 and as of June 30,1998, and December 31,
1997, are unaudited. In addition, the financial information does not include all
disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles because
certain note information has been omitted; however, such information reflects
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results of the interim periods and such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

Note 2.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     Primary income per share for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1998 was computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods.

     Fully diluted income per share for the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1998, was computed by dividing the net income by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the periods, as well as the
number of common shares that would be outstanding as a result of the conversion
of the Company's preferred stock.

Note 3. LIQUIDITY

     As previously reported, on June 16, 1997, the Company sold substantially
all of its assets and business to West Coast Entertainment Corporation, ("West
Coast"). Notwithstanding the sale of its operating business, the Company's
financial statements included herein have been presented on the basis that the
Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business

     The Company's viability for the foreseeable future is and will continue to
be dependent upon its ability to find other business opportunities, to secure
needed capital and to successfully conclude existing litigation. No assurance
can be given that the Company will be successful in that regard. In the event
the Company is not successful, it is unlikely that there would be any amounts
available for distribution to the Company's stockholders.


Note 4.   WEST COAST TRANSACTION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     As previously reported, the Company consummated the previously announced
sale of substantially all of its assets to West Coast on June 16, 1997. The
consideration for the assets sold consisted entirely of cash in the amount of
$2,430,000. A substantial portion of the proceeds was used to reduce a portion
of the Company's liabilities at closing. In addition, $243,000 of the proceeds
was escrowed with West Coast pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase
Agreement between the Company and West Coast. The escrowed funds have been
released to the Company and expended.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

     The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial condition,
changes in financial condition, and results of operations. The discussion also
includes the Company's liquidity and capital resources at June 30, 1998 and
later dated information, where practicable.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As previously reported, on June 16, 1997, the Company sold substantially
all of its assets and business to West Coast Entertainment Corporation,  ("West
Coast"). Notwithstanding the sale of its operating business, the Company's
financial statements included herein have been presented on the  basis that the
Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization  of assets and
the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of  business. The Company
has no operations at the present, however, and has engaged in no business since
at least June 16, 1998.

     Current Directors of the Company estimate that outstanding liabilities of
the Company are approximately $504,901 and cash in the bank is approximately
$9,000.

     The Company's viability for the foreseeable future is and will continue to
be dependent upon its ability to find other business opportunities, to secure
needed capital and to successfully conclude existing litigation. No assurance
can be given that the Company will be successful in that regard. In the event
the Company is not successful, it is unlikely that there would be any amounts
available for distribution to the Company's stockholders.

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains forward looking information
with respect to, among other things, plans, future events or future performance
of the Company, the occurrence of which involve certain risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those
expressed in any forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with
adverse litigation, the ability to identify and conclude alternative business
opportunities, and those risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Where any forward looking
statement includes a statement of the assumptions or bases believed to be
reasonable and are made in good faith, assumed facts or bases almost always vary
from actual results, and the differences between assumed facts or bases and
actual results can be material, depending upon the circumstances. Where, in any
forward looking statement, the Company expresses an expectation or belief as to
plans or future results or events, such expectation or belief is expressed in
good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no
assurance that the statement of expectation or belief will result or be achieved
or accomplished. The words "believe", "expect" and "anticipate" and similar
expressions identify forward looking statements.
