NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                        
(amounts in thousands except share data)
_________________________________________________________________

Note 1 - The Company

RYMAC Mortgage Investment Corporation (the "Company") was
incorporated in Maryland on July 1, 1988.  In its initial public
offering in September, 1988, the Company issued 5,420,000 shares of
its common stock.  During 1990 and 1991, the Company repurchased
209,400 shares of its common stock in accordance with a stock
repurchase program at costs ranging from $6.75 to $7.63 per share. 

Effective August 20, 1996, the Company dissolved its two limited
purpose subsidiaries (RYMAC Mortgage Investment I, Inc. and RYMAC
Mortgage Investment II, Inc.) after the assets in each had been
sold.  

On September 12, 1996, the Company and Navistar International
Transportation Corp. ("Navistar") announced that they had entered
into a definitive asset purchase agreement (said agreement as
amended by the First Amendment thereto dated October 31, 1996, the
"Asset Purchase Agreement").  Pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire substantially all of the
assets and liabilities of Navistar's business currently conducted
at 800 Manor Park Drive, Columbus, Ohio ("Columbus Plastics"),
primarily relating to the manufacture, marketing and sale of
fiberglass reinforced plastic component parts (the "Acquisition").

Consummation of the transaction is subject to approval by the
Company's stockholders and such other terms and conditions as are
set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.  If the transaction is
successfully approved and all conditions set forth therein are
satisfied, it is expected that the Acquisition will be consummated
by December 31, 1996.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition
described above, on October 8, 1996 the Company formed a wholly-
owned Delaware chartered subsidiary, Core Materials Corporation
("Core Materials").  On November 8, 1996, a Registration Statement
on Form S-4 of Core Materials was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Included in the
Registration Statement was a Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated
November 8, 1996 (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus"), relating to
the Acquisition.  On or about November 8, 1996, the Company began
distributing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to all holders of
record of its common stock on November 4, 1996 (the "Record Date").
The Proxy Statement/Prospectus provides detailed information
concerning the Acquisition, the proposed merger of the Company with

and into Core Materials and other items on the agenda at the
Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders to be held on
December 19, 1996 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time at the American Stock
Exchange, 86 Trinity Place, New York, New York  10006-1881 (the
"Special Meeting").

At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and
approve (a) the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement and (b) the issuance of 4,264,000 shares of common stock
of Core Materials to Navistar pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement, which amount is subject to adjustment pursuant to the
provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement but shall not exceed 45%
of the total number of shares of Core Materials issued and
outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the "Stock Issuance").

At the Special Meeting, stockholders will also be asked to consider
and approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company and
Core Materials pursuant to which the Company would be merged with
and into Core Materials with Core Materials continuing as the
surviving corporation and each outstanding share of the Company's
common stock would be automatically converted into the right to
receive one share of common stock of Core Materials.  The
consummation of the proposed merger is contingent upon the approval
by the stockholders of the Company of the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, including the Stock Issuance.  The proposed
merger would be consummated shortly before the consummation of the
Acquisition.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RMIC
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries RMI and RMII.  All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Mortgage-Backed Securities

Mortgage-Backed Securities have been recorded at the lower of cost
or market and are considered held to maturity.  At September 30,
1996, the cost exceeded the market value by $116.  An allowance for
unrealized losses and a separate component of stockholders' equity
has been recorded.

Investment Restrictions

In addition to qualifying as a Real Estate Investment Trust
("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), the Company's investment activities are currently
restricted by provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "Investment Company Act").  The Investment Company Act
specifically exempts entities primarily engaged in the business of
purchasing or otherwise acquiring mortgages and other liens and
interests in real estate from the definition of an investment
company (the "Real Estate Exception").  Under interpretations
issued by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in
order to qualify for the Real Estate Exception, the Company must
maintain at least 55% of its assets in mortgage loans or certain
other interests in real estate, and another 25% of its assets in
those or certain other types of real estate related interests.

During 1995, the Company purchased additional assets, specifically
mortgage-backed securities.  As such, the Company continues to
maintain in excess of 55% of its assets in mortgage loans or
certain other interests in real estate and, therefore, can continue
to rely on the Real Estate Exception to avoid registration as an
investment company under the Investment Company Act.

If the Acquisition described in Note 1 above is consummated, the
Company will no longer be required to rely upon the Real Estate
Exception in order to avoid being subject to the provisions of the
Investment Company Act.

Federal Income Taxes
          
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code.  As
a result, the Company generally will not be subject to federal
income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes
annually at least 95% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the
Code, to its stockholders and satisfies certain other requirements.

<PAGE>

_________________________________________________________________

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.

If the Acquisition described in Note 1 above is consummated, the
Company will no longer qualify as a REIT and will be taxed as a
corporation under subchapter C of Chapter 1 of the Code.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Net income (loss) per share is computed based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
_________________________________________________________________

Note 3 - Mortgage Derivative Securities

Prior to June 30, 1996, the Company had investments in mortgage
derivative securities, which consisted of (i) a class or classes of
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") that either
represented a regular class of bonds or a residual class of bonds
or (ii) interests in a class or classes of mortgage-backed pass-
through certificates that either represented a regular class of
certificates or a residual class of certificates.  For federal
income tax purposes, a majority of the Company's Mortgage
Derivative Securities represented interests in real estate mortgage
investment conduits ("REMICs").  CMOs are mortgage-backed bonds
which bear interest at a specific predetermined rate or at a rate
which varies according to a specified relationship to a specific
short term interest rate index, such as the London interbank
offered rate for one-month U.S. dollar deposits ("LIBOR").

Most residual bonds are structured so as to entitle the holder to
receive a proportionate share of the excess (if any) of payments
received from the collateral pledged to secure such bonds and the
other related classes, together with the reinvestment income
thereon, over amounts required to make debt service payments on
such CMOs and to pay related administrative expenses.  In
connection with these investments, the Company acquired no other
rights relating to the collateral pledged to secure its Mortgage
Derivative Securities.  Most residual certificates are structured
so as to entitle the Company to receive a specified percentage of
the distributions generated from the pool of assets comprising the
trust funds of which the certificates evidence an interest.

Note 3 - Mortgage Derivative Securities

During the first and second quarters, the Company sold its Mortgage
Derivative Securities for $1,153 and recorded a net gain of $155. 
The proceeds from these sales will be directed toward the proposed
Acquisition described in Note 1.
_________________________________________________________________

Note 4 - Mortgage Related Investments

Prior to June 30, 1996, the Company maintained a portfolio which
included Mortgage Related Investments, consisting of ownership
interests in certain classes of mortgage-backed securities issued
by Ryan Mortgage Acceptance Corporation IV (as described below).

On September 23, 1988, the Company purchased from Ryan Mortgage
Acceptance Corporation IV ("RYMAC IV") certain GNMA certificates
and FNMA certificates and other collateral owned by RYMAC IV and
pledged to secure RYMAC IV's Mortgage Collateralized Bonds (the
"RYMAC IV Bonds").  (See note 6)  These Mortgage Related
Investments and other collateral were purchased subject to the lien
of the Indenture between RYMAC IV and the Trustee (the "RYMAC IV
Indenture") pursuant to which the RYMAC IV Bonds were issued and
subject to the rights of the Trustee and the bondholders
thereunder.  The purchase agreements grant to the Company certain
additional rights with respect to the RYMAC IV Bonds, such as the
right, if any, to substitute collateral, the right to direct the
reinvestment of collateral proceeds and the right to call the
related RYMAC IV Bonds.  At December 31, 1995, the Company's
Mortgage Related Investments consisted of RYMAC IV Bonds, Series 7,
10 and 19.
  
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold its ownership
rights in the RYMAC IV Series 7, 10 and 19 Bonds for a net loss of
$202.  (See note 6)  
_________________________________________________________________

Note 5 - Mortgage-Backed Securities

Mortgage-Backed Securities have been recorded at the lower of cost
or market.  The market value of the Company's Mortgage-Backed
Securities were at a discount to the carrying value at September
30, 1996.  An allowance for unrealized losses was established at
March 31, 1996.  A separate component of stockholders' equity has
been reduced by $116, accordingly.

Note 6 - Funding Notes Payable                                    
                                                   
Funding Notes Payable represented limited recourse notes delivered
to RYMAC IV as partial payment for the purchase of Mortgage Related
Investments and other collateral, and had payment terms the same as
the related series of RYMAC IV Bonds. (See note 4)  

Principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Related Investments
were used to make the quarterly payments on the funding notes
payable.  In addition, prepayments of the underlying mortgage
related investments were passed through as prepayments of the
Funding Notes Payable so that the Funding Notes Payable could be
fully paid prior to their stated maturities.

During the second quarter of 1996, the Company sold its ownership
interest in the RYMAC IV Series 7, 10 and 19 Bonds.  As a result of
the sale of these ownership interests, the related liability
account, Funding Notes Payable, was reduced to $0.  (See note 4)  
_________________________________________________________________

Note 7 - Federal Income Taxes and Distributions

As described in note 2, the Company has elected to be treated for
federal income tax purposes as a REIT.  As such, the Company is
required to distribute annually, in the form of dividends to its
stockholders, at least 95% of its taxable income.  Because of the
provisions of the Code applicable to the type of investments made
by the Company, in the early years of the life of certain of the
Company's initial investments (particularly investments made in
connection with the Company's initial public offering, and to a
lesser degree during 1989) taxable income exceeded net income.  

During the later years of such ownership, Net Income will exceed
REIT taxable income.  The principal reason for such difference is
that the Company reports income from its portfolio of Mortgage
Related Investments and Mortgage Derivative Securities on the
interest method for financial reporting purposes; however, for
income tax purposes, the Company reports its proportionate share of
the difference between interest income generated by the collateral
and interest expense on the CMOs.  More recent investments made by
the Company and investments currently available in the market are
typically structured so that taxable income and Net Income are
similar during each reporting period.  Over the life of a
particular  investment or  security, taxable  income and Net Income
will be equal.  In reporting periods where taxable income exceeds
Net Income, stockholders' equity will be reduced by the amount of
dividends in excess of Net Income in such period and will be

<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)            
(amounts in thousands except share data)
_________________________________________________________________

Note 7 - Federal Income Taxes and Distributions (continued)

increased by the excess of Net Income over dividends in future
reporting periods.

During the first three quarters of 1996, no dividend distributions
were made.  The Company's taxable losses through 1995 aggregate to
approximately $36 million.  Under the Code, a REIT must generally
distribute its excess inclusion income to its stockholders even
though it has other losses or deductions exceeding such excess
inclusion income.  Accordingly, if the Company were to report
future excess inclusion income, it may elect to distribute such
excess inclusion income as dividends even though it has an
estimated tax loss carryforward approximating $36 million,
including approximately $5 million in capital loss carryforwards. 
The tax losses can be carried forward to offset future income of
the Company.

If the Acquisition described in Note 1 above is consummated, the
Company will no longer qualify as a REIT and will be taxed as a
corporation under subchapter C of Chapter 1 of the Code.
_________________________________________________________________

Note 8 - Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreements between the Company and RYMAC
IV (see note 4), $15 has been withheld from amounts released from
the lien of the RYMAC IV Indenture, retained by RYMAC IV and
deposited in escrow to be used for payment of expenses of the CMOs
secured by certain of the Mortgage Related Investments purchased by
the Company.  In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 1996,
the Company incurred $7 of CMO administration fees which were paid
to RYMAC IV under the terms of the Purchase Agreements.
_________________________________________________________________

Note 9 - Employee Benefits

The Company's Board of Directors has established a Salary
Reduction-Simplified Employee Pension Program ("SAR-SEP") for its
full-time employees.  A SAR-SEP is a minimal administration 408-K
Plan (similar to a 401-K) for companies with fewer than 25
employees.  For 1996, the Company has established a minimum
contribution of 3% of gross compensation.  Company contributions to
the plan may vary and the Company is not required to continue the
program.  Employee contributions are based upon established
formulas under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
("ERISA") rules governing 408-K Plans.  The Company is required to

<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)            
(amounts in thousands except share data)
_________________________________________________________________

Note 9 - Employee Benefits (continued)

terminate the SAR-SEP as a condition to closing the Acquisition
described in Note 1.

The Unaffiliated Directors adopted an incentive stock option
program during 1994 for the Company's two Officers and Affiliated
Director.   Under  the Stock Option Program, options on 260,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock were awarded at market prices,
exercisable over ten year periods ending May 2005.  The Company
accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and, accordingly, 
recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants.  In
addition, a salary continuance program was provided to the
Company's officers, allowing for up to one year's base salary
following the consummation of a business combination.

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

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On May 15, 1996, RYMAC Mortgage Investment Corporation (the
"Company") and Navistar International Transportation Corp.
("Navistar"), the principal operating subsidiary of Navistar
International Corporation, announced that they had reached a non-
binding agreement in principle dated May 13, 1996 (the "Agreement
in Principle") with respect to the purchase by the Company (the
"Acquisition") of Navistar's Columbus Plastics operation, which
manufactures large sheet molding composite components and is
located in Columbus, Ohio.  A copy of the Agreement in Principle
was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the
Company on May 22, 1996 as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form
8-K.

On September 12, 1996, the Company and Navistar International
Transportation Corp. ("Navistar") announced that they had entered
into a definitive asset purchase agreement (said agreement as
amended by the First Amendment thereto dated October 31, 1996, the
"Asset Purchase Agreement").  Pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire substantially all of the
assets and liabilities of Navistar's Columbus Plastics operation. 
A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 2 to
the Company's Form 8-K dated September 17, 1996 and a copy of the
First Amendment thereto is filed as an exhibit to this Form 10-Q. 
  
Consummation of the transaction is subject to approval by the
Company's stockholders and such other terms and conditions as are
set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.  If the transaction is
successfully approved and all conditions set forth therein are
satisfied, it is expected that the Acquisition will be consummated
by December 31, 1996.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Acquisition
described above, on October 8, 1996 the Company formed a wholly-
owned Delaware chartered subsidiary, Core Materials Corporation
("Core Materials").  On November 8, 1996, a Registration Statement
on Form S-4 of Core Materials was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Included in the
Registration Statement was a Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated
November 8, 1996 (the "Proxy Statement/Prospectus"), relating to
the Acquisition.  On or about November 8, 1996, the Company began
distributing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to all holders of
record of its common stock on November 4, 1996 (the "Record Date"). 
The Proxy Statement/ Prospectus provides detailed information
concerning the Acquisition, the proposed merger of the Company with
and into Core Materials and other items on the agenda at the
Special Meeting of the Company's stockholders to be held on

<PAGE>
December 19, 1996 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time at the American Stock
Exchange, 86 Trinity Place, New York, New York  10006-1881 (the
"Special Meeting").

At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and
approve (a) the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase
Agreement and (b) the issuance of 4,264,000 shares of common stock
of Core Materials to Navistar pursuant to the Asset Purchase
Agreement, which amount is subject to adjustment pursuant to the
provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement but shall not exceed 45%
of the total number of shares of Core Materials issued and
outstanding on a fully diluted basis (the "Stock Issuance").

At the Special Meeting, stockholders will also be asked to consider
and approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger between the Company and
Core Materials pursuant to which the Company would be merged with
and into Core Materials with Core Materials continuing as the
surviving corporation and each outstanding share of the Company's
common stock would be automatically converted into the right to
receive one share of common stock of Core Materials.  The
consummation of the proposed merger is contingent upon the approval
by the stockholders of the Company of the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement, including the Stock Issuance.  The proposed
merger would be consummated shortly before the consummation of the
Acquisition.

The terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the
Acquisition, including the Merger and the Stock Issuance are more
fully described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus relating to the
Acquisition.

In anticipation of the Acquisition, the Company sold the majority
of its remaining mortgage assets during the second quarter of 1996. 
(See Results of Operations)


DIVIDEND POLICY

In accordance with the Code, the Company is required to distribute
at least 95% of its taxable income to its stockholders each year in
order to maintain its status as a REIT.  Dividends paid for a
fiscal year in excess of the Company's taxable income are reported
as a return of capital to the Company's stockholders, except as
provided below.

Historically, some of the Company's investments constituted REMIC
residual interests.  Certain of these residual interests may
produce "excess inclusion" income during the fiscal year.  The Code
requires that excess inclusion income be included in a taxpayer's
income even though the taxpayer has current or prior losses that
would otherwise offset such income.  As a result, the Company could
have taxable income from excess inclusions in a taxable year even

<PAGE>
though it has current or prior losses from other investments that
would normally be sufficient to offset the amount of such excess
inclusion income.  The Company is required to distribute the
taxable income representing excess inclusions to meet its 95%
distribution requirement and to avoid a corporate level tax on such
income.  When such income is distributed to a stockholder, the
stockholder will have taxable income, rather than a return of
capital, equal to its share of such excess inclusion income during
the fiscal year.  For a stockholder, generally, excess inclusion
income cannot be offset by losses.  

For the tax year ended December 31, 1995, the Company paid a
dividend of $0.003 per share on September 29, 1995 to stockholders
of record on September 20, 1995.  This 1995 dividend was the result
of excess inclusion income and is reportable by stockholders as
taxable income for 1995.  The Company paid no dividend for the
first three quarters of 1996.

If the Acquisition described in note 1 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and "Recent Developments" is
consummated, the Company will no longer qualify as a REIT and will
be taxed as a corporation under subchapter C of Chapter 1 of the
Code.  As a result, the Company will no longer be entitled to any
deduction for dividends paid to stockholders.  No assurances can be
given as to the dividends, if any, that may be declared by the
Board of Directors of the Company following such Acquisition.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's Net Loss declined from $758,000 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1995 to a Net Loss of $111,000 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of $647,000. 
This decline is attributable to the Company's incurring $700,000 in
asset valuation writedowns during the 1995 period while no
writedowns were required for the first nine months of 1996, offset
in part by a net loss from the sale of assets of $47,000 in 1996's
period as compared to no such loss in the 1995 period.

Without the net loss recorded from the sale of assets in 1996's
first half, the Company's loss for such period would have been
reduced to $64,000.

Statement of Revenues and Expenses

Net Income (loss), as calculated in accordance with GAAP and as
presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
was $(111,000), or $(0.02) per share, for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared with $(758,000), or $(0.15) per
share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, and $(37,000),
or $(0.01) per share, for the three months ended September 30, 1996
as compared to $(34,000), or $(0.01) per share, for the three

<PAGE>
months ended September 30, 1995.

Interest revenue on Mortgage Related Investments decreased from
$821,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $369,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, as a result of the
reduction in Mortgage Related Investments on the Company's Balance
Sheet, which decreased from an average outstanding of $11,552,000
during 1995's first nine months to an average outstanding of
$4,907,000 during the first nine months of 1996.  Interest revenue
on Mortgage Derivative Securities was $(511,000) for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $72,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.  This $583,000 increase in
interest revenue was the result of the valuation writedown of
assets equal to $700,000 in 1995's second quarter as compared with
no such writedown during the first three quarters of 1996.  Such
writedowns are reflected as a decrease to interest revenues on
Mortgage Derivative Securities during the period incurred.

Income from Temporary investments decreased from $243,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $88,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 due to the Company's purchase of one 7%
FNMA guaranteed 30-year single family mortgage pool of which the
Company maintains 100% ownership since 1995's fourth quarter.  This
Mortgage-Backed Security, carried as a separate investment
category, produced $178,000 of interest revenues during the 1996
period.

In anticipation of the Acquisition described in Note 1 to the
Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and "Recent
Developments", the Company sold during the March-June 1996 time
period all of its remaining Mortgage Related Investments and
Mortgage Derivative Securities.  Nine Mortgage Derivative
Securities were sold for net cash proceeds of $1,153,000,
representing prices that exceeded the Company's carrying value by
$155,000 and was recognized as a gain during the 1996 period. 
Also, the Company sold its ownership interests (including early
redemption rights) in its three remaining Mortgage Related
Investments (RYMAC IV, Series 7, 10 and 19).  The sale transaction
relating to the RYMAC IV assets included the Company's transfer of
the future obligation for payment of quarterly administrative costs
to the purchaser.  Such administrative costs approximated $12,500
per annum over the next five and one-half years.  The sale of the
Company's ownership rights, including ongoing administrative costs,
in its Mortgage Related Investments resulted in the Company
recording a loss on such transaction of $202,000 during the 1996
period.  After completion of such sales, the Company subsequently
dissolved its two wholly-owned subsidiaries effective August 20,
1996.

The Company also recognized $35,000 in revenues during the 1996
period reflecting the reversal of a provision for future losses on
Mortgage Derivative Securities that was no longer necessary given

<PAGE>
the sale of the Company's remaining assets carried in this
category.

Interest expense on Funding Notes Payable decreased from $821,000
to $368,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively, as a result of the substantial offsetting balance
sheet decline of Funding Notes Payable, which decreased from
average outstandings of $11,816,000 to $5,057,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  General
and Administrative expenses decreased slightly from $471,000 for
1995's first nine months to $438,000 in 1996's first nine months as
the Company maintained a minimal staff while continuing its efforts
to identify and conclude a business combination.
  
Balance Sheet

The Company's assets declined by $10,455,000 during the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996, decreasing from $16,602,000 to
$6,147,000 at September 30, 1996.  This decrease is attributable to
the Company's sale of its remaining Mortgage Related Investments
and Mortgage Derivative Securities during the six month period
ended June 30, 1996 and, to a minor extent, reductions resulting
from principal payments on the mortgage collateral underlying the
Company's Mortgage Related Investments and Mortgage-backed Security
and amortization of the cost basis in its Mortgage Derivative
Securities.  

Funds Held by Trustee and Receivables on both Mortgage Related
Investments and Mortgage Derivative Securities decreased from
$159,000 and $415,000, respectively at December 31, 1995 to $0 in
both categories at September 30, 1996, as both of these assets
categories were associated with the sale of the Company's remaining
Mortgage Related and Mortgage Derivative holdings.

The sale of Mortgage Related Investments caused the related
liability account, Funding Notes Payable, to decrease from
$10,114,000 to $0, between December 31, 1995 and September 30,
1996.

The two liability accounts, Accrued Interest on Funding Notes
Payable and Other Liabilities, decreased in total by $114,000,
primarily reflecting the sale of the corresponding liability
account, Funding Notes Payable, related to the sale of Mortgage
Related Investments described above.

The Company's Accumulated Deficit increased slightly from
$(37,822,000) at December 31, 1995 to $(37,933,000) at September
30, 1996 due to the Net Loss incurred for the period of $111,000. 
Additionally, the Company's net worth was negatively affected by
the GAAP requirement to carry a valuation account, Unrealized Loss
on Mortgage-Backed Securities, for the Company's Mortgage-Backed
Securities, valuing the asset at the lower of cost or market.  This

<PAGE>
Unrealized Loss of $116,000 reflects the loss that would have been
recognized if the Company had elected to sell its entire Mortgage-
Backed Securities holding at September 30, 1996.


EXPENSES AND USE OF BORROWED FUNDS

Operating expenses, "General and Administrative", were $471,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 versus $438,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  These low expense levels are
reflective of the Company's minimal staffing and cost reduction
efforts while continuing its efforts to conclude a business
combination.

The Company has had no borrowings since November 30, 1994.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At both December 31, 1995 and September 30, 1996, the total amount
borrowed by the Company was $0.  The Company is subject to a
limitation on the amount of total borrowings of $25,000,000
pursuant to a policy adopted by its Board of Directors in March
1992, although such amount is substantially in excess of amounts
that could currently be borrowed by the Company.

All of the Company's remaining Mortgage-Backed Securities are
available to secure any future borrowings.  The Company estimates
that either the approximate $3,000,000 in borrowing value or
$3,300,000 from the current market sale value of the Company's
Mortgage-Backed Securities in conjunction with its cash reserves of
approximately $2,700,000, currently held in high quality short-term
instruments, provide the Company with sufficient liquidity with
which to pursue its proposed business activities. (See "Recent
Developments")

If the Acquisition described in note 1 to the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements and "Recent Developments" above
is consummated, additional liquidity to fund working capital
requirements of the Company may be needed.  The Company may seek
additional working capital funding prior to the consummation of the
Acquisition in order to fund such requirements.  No assurances can
be given that the Company will be successful in obtaining such
funding.

     This First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (this "First
Amendment") dated as of the 31st day of October, 1996, by and
between RYMAC Mortgage Investment Corporation, a Maryland

Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Seller");

                      W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller entered into a certain Asset
Purchase Agreement dated as of September 12, 1996 ("Agreement"),
regarding the sale by Seller to Buyer of certain assets of Seller's
Columbus Plastics Operation located at 800 Manor Park Drive,
Columbus, Ohio;

     WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller desire to amend the Agreement as
hereinafter set forth;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend the Agreement as
follows, said provisions to control whenever inconsistent with the
original provisions of the Agreement, and the capitalized terms
herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Agreement
unless stated otherwise herein:

     1.   Section 3(b)(xii) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety.

     2.   Section 3(b)(xix) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in
its entirety and replaced with the following:

          (xix)  Buyer shall have delivered to Seller a certificate
     dated the Closing Date and signed by the Chief Executive
     Officer of Buyer confirming that, to the best of Buyer's
     knowledge, Buyer has not had within the 3 year period prior to
     the Closing any Five Percent Shareholder other than a single
     Public Group within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
     1.382-2T(g)(1)(iii).

     3.   The definition of "Refinancing Loan" in Section 10 of the
Buyer Note attached as Exhibit A to the Agreement is hereby deleted
in its entirety and replaced with the following:

          "Refinancing Loan" shall mean any loan, extension of 
     credit or other financial accommodation (other than a
     revolving line of credit for working capital purposes or loans
     for project finance use) made as of or after the Closing to
     the Company by a Person other than the Noteholder, to
     refinance and pay indefeasibly in full or in part the
     outstanding principal amount now or at any time or times
     hereafter owing by the Company to Noteholder under this Note,
     and which is secured by Company's equipment or other assets in
     which Noteholder holds security interests on the date hereof,
     provided that (i) the proceeds of such loan are disbursed
     directly to Noteholder pursuant to written authorization given
     by Company to the Person making the loan; and (ii) to the
     extent such Person intends to take a security interest in any
     of Company's equipment or other assets, such person has
     entered into an intercreditor agreement with the Noteholder in
     form and substance acceptable to Noteholder.

     4.   Article 8-A of the Supply Agreement attached as Exhibit
C to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

     A.   All tooling jigs, fixtures and associated manufacturing
          equipment necessary for the successful production and
          test of the Products for which Buyer pays Seller in full
          will remain the exclusive property of Buyer and Seller
          assumes all liability for any loss, damage or shortage
          except as caused by Buyer and/or for Seller's failure to
          return such property, including equipment, to Buyer upon
          request.  Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any such
          loss, damage or shortage.  Such tooling items must be
          identified and labeled as "Owned by Navistar". 
          Furthermore, all tooling owned by Buyer shall be used
          exclusively for the manufacture of Products for Buyer. 
          Seller will perform normal on-going maintenance, at
          Seller's expense, in said tooling, jigs, fixtures and
          associated equipment for the duration of this Agreement. 
          Buyer further agrees that the costs of replacement of
          said tooling, jigs and fixtures and associated equipment
          caused by normal use and age of these items will be the
          responsibility of the Buyer.  In addition, Buyer agrees
          that all major tool refurbishment inclusive of, but not
          limited to, re-shear, resurface, re-chrome and rebuild
          that is a result of volume and/or part configuration
          related tool wear will be funded and paid for by the
          Buyer.

     5.   The product descriptions and prices described in Schedule
A to this First Amendment are hereby inserted at the end of Exhibit
A to the Supply Agreement attached as Exhibit C to the Agreement.

     6.   Except as herein expressly set forth, all other
provisions of the Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full
force and effect.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this First
Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first written above.
