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 $420,000 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.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
