Note 3.  NOTES PAYABLE

On April 14, 1994 the Company was advised by BankAmerica Business
Credit, Inc. ("BankAmerica") that the Second Amended Restated Loan
and Security Agreement ("Credit Agreement") between BankAmerica and
the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Ajay Leisure Products, Inc.
("Ajay"), had been purchased by Roadmaster Industries, Inc.
("Roadmaster").  On May 5, 1994 Ajay paid Roadmaster in full all
outstanding obligations under The Total Credit Facility and entered
into a Loan and Security Agreement ("Loan Agreement") with Williams
Controls Industries, Inc. ("Williams") for a term loan of up to

                                       4
<PAGE>

$7,000,000.   The Loan Agreement required monthly interest only
payments at the prime rate of First Interstate Bank of Oregon plus
2% and was originally scheduled to expire on November 4, 1994 and
was later extended to May 5, 1995.  On February 1, 1995 the
interest rate went to prime plus 3.25%.  On April 5, 1995 the Loan
Agreement was extended to expire on February 1, 1996 providing, as
of August 1, 1995 the line of credit is reduced to $5,600,000.  The
Loan Agreement is secured by a lien on substantially all of the
assets of Ajay and is guaranteed by the Company.  The guaranty is
secured by a pledge of all of the outstanding stock of Ajay.

The Company received an equity infusion in early October 1994 of
$2,400,000 as a result of a private placement of 2,941,177 shares
of Common Stock and the exercise of options by Williams Controls
Incorporated for 4,117,647 shares.  Proceeds from the Williams
Controls Inc. Common Stock purchase were used to reduce the
Company's loan balance with Williams by $1,400,000.  Also on
October 3, 1994, the holder of the Company's Series B Preferred
Stock converted 17,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock into
5,000,040 shares of Common Stock. 

In addition, concurrent with the establishment of the Loan
Agreement with Williams, the Company and Ajay entered into a Joint
Venture Agreement with Williams in which the Company granted
Williams the option to purchase up to 51% of the common stock of
the Company at various option prices.  As part of this agreement
the Company granted Williams the right to purchase up to 8,834,866 
shares of the Company's common stock at $.34 per share, exercisable 
for a four-year period.  On October 3, 1994 Williams exercised its
option and purchased 4,117,647 shares of the Company's common stock in
exchange for a reduction in the note payable from Ajay to Williams
of $1,400,000.  Williams retains the remaining options granted
under the Joint Venture Agreement to purchase up to another 14,879,775
shares of the Company's common stock at higher prices.

On April 5, 1995, the Company and Williams agreed to modifications
of the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Joint Venture 
Implementation Agreement.  The changes include (1) a waiver of
Williams' preemptive right to purchase up to 51% under certain
circumstances, (2) an extension of the loan term until February 1,
1996, (3) a reduction in the maximum loan amount from $7.0 million
to $5.6 million as of August 1, 1995, (4) a reduction in the number
of $1.00 options granted to Williams from 1,394,979 to 348,745 if
the loan is repaid by August 1, 1995, (5) a reduction in the
exercise price of the $1.00 options granted to Williams to $.50,
(6) an extension of the expiration date of all options granted to
Williams from May 5, 1998 to August 1, 1999, and (7) an additional
four-year extension of the manufacturing joint venture at the
Company's Delavan, Wisconsin and Mexicali, Mexico, facilities.
 
Mr. Itin, the Chairman, Treasurer and a Director of The Company, is
also Chairman, a Director and principal stockholder of Williams.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION - At March 31, 1995 the Company had working
capital of $737,000, as compared with $593,000 at December 31,
1994.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities at March
31, 1995 was 1.1 to 1, which was unchanged from December 31, 1994. 
Working capital was primarily used to finance seasonal growth in
accounts receivable.

At March 31, 1995 the Company had increased its short term
borrowings by $1,420,000 since December 31, 1994.  This was
primarily due to seasonal increases in accounts receivable which
increased by $2,112,000 due to sales increases.

LIQUIDITY - At March 31, 1995 Ajay had $6,790,000 outstanding under
its $7,000,000 loan agreement with Williams.  As indicated under
Note 3 above, the loan agreement with Williams was extended to
February 1, 1996.  The Company continues to seek alternative financing
and maintains communications with alternative sources in that regard.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - During the quarter ended March 31, 1995 the
Company had net sales of $5,454,000, compared to $3,663,000 for the
same period in 1994.  The overall sales increase of 49% has occurred
throughout all of its product lines and with respect to several
major customers, along with increases with smaller customers and
sales to new customers.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 1995 expressed as
a percentage of net sales, increased to 20%, compared to 13% for
the same period in 1994. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a
percentage of sales were 13.8% for the first quarter of 1995,
versus 17.3% for 1994. The lower percentage in 1995 resulted from
increased sales volume.

Operating profit for the first quarter of 1995 was $340,000, an
increase of $496,000, compared to operating loss of $156,000 for
the first quarter of 1994.  This is due to a decrease in the cost 
of sales which was 80% for the first quarter of 1995 and 87% for 
the first quarter of 1994 plus the positive effect of a 49% sales
increase.

Interest expense increased $31,000 in the first quarter of 1995 
compared to the first quarter of 1994 as a result of higher debt
 and higher interest rates.

As a result of the above, the net income for the first quarter
ending March 31, 1995 was $155,000, compared to a net loss of
$320,000 for the same period last year.
