Note 3.    NOTES PAYABLE

On July 25, 1995 the Company entered into a Revolving Loan Agreement with United
States  National  Bank of Oregon ("U.  S. Bank") for a credit  facility of up to
$8,500,000,  replacing a Loan Agreement with Williams Controls,  Inc. All of the
Company's  subsidiaries  and  Williams  have  guaranteed  payment of this credit
facility and the Company and its  subsidiaries  have pledged their inventory and
receivables  as  collateral.  The  Revolving  Loan is evidenced by demand notes,
requires  monthly  interest  only  payments  at the  prime  rate of U.  S.  Bank
(currently  8.75%) and will be reviewed on May 31, 1996.  On October 2, 1995 the
Company and U. S. Bank agreed to  modifications  to the Revolving Loan Agreement
increasing the credit facility from  $8,500,000 to $13,500,000.  The Company may
now borrow up to $8,500,000 against 80% of eligible accounts  receivable and 50%
of eligible  inventory  and up to an  additional  $5,000,000  through its 2-year
bulge loan  facility.  The  increased  facility  provided  the Company the funds
necessary to acquire  certain assets of both Korex  Corporation and Palm Springs
Golf Company,  Inc. in early October 1995. The Company is required to maintain a
minimum  tangible  net worth of  $2,000,000  and a ratio of debt to tangible net
worth of not greater than 4.5 to 1. The Company has agreed to pay Williams  0.5%
per annum of the  outstanding  Revolving  Loan  balance on a quarterly  basis in
consideration  for providing its  guarantee of the Revolving  Loan.  From May 5,
1994 through July 25, 1995 Ajay had operated  within a $7,000,000 Loan Agreement
and  Joint  Venture  Implementation   Agreement  with  Williams  Controls,  Inc.
("Williams").  The loan with  Williams  was paid off on July 25, 1995 with funds
made available from the present Loan Agreement with U. S. Bank.  Prior to paying
off the loan with Williams,  the Company and Williams agreed on April 5, 1995 to
modifications  of  the  terms  of the  Loan  Agreement  and  the  Joint  Venture
Implementation Agreement.

Thomas W. Itin, the Chairman,  Treasurer and a Director of the Company,  is also
Chairman, Director and principal stockholder of Williams.


Note 4.    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY


At the annual meeting held May 24, 1995, the Shareholders  voted to increase the
number of authorized common shares to 100,000,000 from 50,000,000.

On July 26, 1995 the Company's  Registration  Statement filed in connection with
an offering of 325,000 shares of Series C 10% Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred
Stock and 325,000 Warrants was declared effective.  The Series C Preferred Stock
is convertible  into shares of the Company's  Common Stock at a conversion price
of $.6875.  Cumulative  dividends  are payable on the Series C Preferred  Stock.
Each  Warrant  entitles  the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at any
time through  December 31, 1996 at a price of $1.00. The Warrants are redeemable
by the Company at $.05 per Warrant under certain conditions.  The terms of these
Warrants  are  identical  to the  Company's  publicly-held  Warrants to purchase
Common Stock. The Company intends to use the estimated net proceeds of this $3.3
million offering for inventory and accounts receivable financing, to

improve and  enhance  its  manufacturing  capabilities,  and to provide  working
capital  which may be used to expand  product  lines,  develop  new  markets and
acquire  companies or product  lines  compatible  with or  complementary  to its
present products in order to expand its leisure and recreational business.

In 1994 the Company issued 400,000 shares of stock as part of the acquisition of
Leisure Life that were  contingent on certain  performance  requirements.  Those
requirements  have not been met and as such those  shares  will not be  released
from  escrow  to the  former  owners of  Leisure  Life and will be  returned  to
authorized  but unissued  shares in  November,  1995.  During the quarter  9,710
shares of Series C convertible  preferred stock were converted to 141,236 common
shares.

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


FINANCIAL  CONDITION - At September 30, 1995 the Company had working  capital of
$6,535,000,  as compared  with  $593,000 at December 31, 1994.  The $5.9 million
increase in working capital reflects the terms of the new loan agreement with U.
S. Bank, which includes a $3.5 million long-term bulge loan facility (see Note 3
of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements).  Other factors  affecting the
increase  in working  capital  were an  increase  of $1.9  million  in  Accounts
Receivable  due to the $2.7  million  increase  in sales and a decrease  of $0.7
million  in  external  borrowing.   The  ratio  of  current  assets  to  current
liabilities at September 30, 1995 was 3.3 compared to 1.1 for December 31, 1994.

LIQUIDITY - On July 25, 1995 Ajay improved its liquidity through obtaining a new
$8.5 million credit  facility with U. S. Bank on July 25, 1995. The facility was
increased  to $13.5  million on October 2,  1995,  in order to  accommodate  the
acquisitions  of certain  assets of 2  corporations  in early  October.  The new
credit  facility  interest rate is at prime,  replacing the old credit  facility
rate which was at prime plus 3%.  Further  liquidity  improvement  resulted from
receiving  proceeds from a $3.3 million  preferred  stock and warrants  offering
which went effective on July 26, 1995.  These two important events position Ajay
for future growth.

On October 2, 1995 the Company acquired  certain assets of Korex  Corporation of
Naperville, Illinois. Korex designs, manufactures and distributes a line of golf
bags, carts and accessories.  The Company acquired the inventory,  machinery and
equipment of Korex in exchange for  $1,719,000 and 240,625 shares of Ajay common
stock.

On October 6, 1995 the Company  acquired  certain  assets of Palm  Springs  Golf
Company,   Inc.  Of  Palm  Desert,   California.   Palm  Springs  Golf  designs,
manufactures  and  markets a full line of golf  clubs  along with a line of golf
bags and gloves. In the transaction,  the Company acquired  substantially all of
the  operating  assets in exchange for  1,300,000  shares of Ajay common  stock,
633,333 of which are contingent upon future financial  performance  and/or other
conditions. In addition, the Company will issue 800,000 common stock options and
assumed $3,700,000 of payables and bank debt.

The Company's  Board of Directors,  on September 25, 1995,  declared a quarterly
dividend  of  $.185  per  share  on the  Company's  10%  cumulative  convertible
preferred  stock,  payable October 25, 1995 to shareholders of record October 3,
1995.  This was the first  calendar  quarter end since the preferred  stock went
effective on July 26, 1995 and the $58,000 dividend represents a pro-rata amount
calculated from the effective date through the end of the third quarter.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Cont'd.)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - During the quarter ended  September 30, 1995 the Company
had net sales of $3,437,000, compared to $2,877,000 for the same period in 1994.
For the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 the  Company  had net sales of
$13,376,000  compared to  $10,630,000  for the same period in 1994.  The 9-month
sales increase of 26% has occurred throughout all product lines and with respect
to several  major  customers,  along with  increases in secondary  customers and
sales to new customers.  The furniture line acquired August 1, 1994  contributed
34% of the nine month sales increase of $2.7 million.

Gross  profit for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1995  expressed  as a
percentage  of net sales,  increased  to 14.9%,  compared to (0.7)% for the same
period in 1994.  Gross  profit for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995
expressed as a percentage of net sales, increased to 18.8%, compared to 9.8% for
the same period in 1994.  Golf margins in 1995 improved as a result of increased
sales volume and product mix resulting in  efficiencies  and cost  reductions in
materials  and  manufacturing  costs.  This  improvement  was  diminished by the
unfavorable  results of the furniture  business,  where material costs and labor
were  higher  than  planned.  Through  extensive  redesign,  costs  for the 1996
furniture  line are  being  reduced  and  management  expects  this to result in
improved  margins in 1996.  The  furniture  product line was targeted to smaller
customers  during  1994-95.  The 1996  furniture  products have been designed to
target  the mass  market as well as the  current  customer  base of  independent
dealers.  This  broadens the  available  market and  supports  plans for growth.
Management expects furniture products to be profitable in 1996.

Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were 19.5% of sales for the third
quarter of 1995,  versus 23.9% for 1994.  The nine months results were 15.8% and
18.5%,  respectively  for 1995  and  1994.  Selling  expenses  for the  start-up
furniture  business have been relatively high per sales dollar due to the higher
cost  inherent in the present  effort to develop the sales base of new customers
which will benefit future  periods.  This included such expenses as trade shows,
travel and  advertising  to reach  potential  customers.  Overall  expenses as a
percent of sales were favorable due to the 26% sales increase for the first nine
months.

Operating  loss for the third quarter of 1995 was $159,000,  an  improvement  of
$548,000,  compared to an operating  loss of $707,000  for the third  quarter of
1994.  This was due primarily to a decrease in the cost of sales which was 85.1%
for the third  quarter of 1995 and 100.7% for the third quarter of 1994 plus the
positive  effect of a 19.5%  sales  increase.  The core golf  business  improved
during the year with a  $817,000  operating  profit  for the first  nine  months
compared to a $864,000  operating loss for the same period in 1994.  This profit
was partially offset by a $417,000 operating loss in the furniture business year
to date.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Cont'd.)



As a result of the above,  the net loss for the nine months ended  September 30,
1995 was $176,000, compared to a net loss of $1,691,000 for the same period last
year. This is an improvement of $1,515,000. For the three months ended September
30, 1995 the net loss was  $340,000  compared to a net loss of $864,000  for the
same period last year. This is an improvement of $524,000.
