Note 3.       LIQUIDITY

As part of the Company's loan agreement with the United States  National Bank of
Oregon ("U. S. Bank") the Company is required to maintain a minimum tangible net
worth of  $2,000,000  and a ratio of  liabilities  to tangible  net worth of not
greater than 4.5 to 1. On April 3, 1996 U. S. Bank  approved a temporary  waiver
(through May 1996) to increase the ratio of liabilities to tangible net worth to
not greater than 6.0 to 1. The ratios for January, February and March were 4.91,
5.25 and 5.18  respectively.  The  ratios  increased  as a  result  of  goodwill
generated from two 4th quarter acquisitions.

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


FINANCIAL  CONDITION - At March 31,  1996 the  Company  had  working  capital of
$5,871,000,  as compared  with  $6,324,000  at December 31,  1995.  The ratio of
current  assets to current  liabilities at March 31, 1996 was 1.6 to 1, compared
to 1.7 at December  31,  1995.  Working  capital was  primarily  used to finance
seasonal growth in accounts receivable.

At March 31,  1996 the  Company  had  increased  its short  term  borrowings  by
$1,995,000  since December 31, 1995. This was primarily due to the first quarter
operating  loss  and  seasonal  increases  in  accounts  receivable  $1,069,000,
inventories $181,000 and other current assets $205,000.

LIQUIDITY  - At March  31,  1996  Ajay had  $12,788,000  outstanding  under  its
$13,500,000 loan agreement with U. S. Bank. The seasonal nature of the Company's
sales creates  fluctuating  cash flow. The peak seasonal period has historically
been from February  through May. The Company  believes its line is sufficient to
finance its needs for 1996.

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS - During the quarter ended March 31, 1996 the Company had
net sales of $6,262,000  compared to $5,454,000 for the same period in 1995. The
overall  sales  increase  of 15% was a result  of the  increase  in sales in the
furniture  business.  The golf  business has had a slower start due to timing in
customer order  placement.  It is expected that volume will increase  throughout
the balance of the year more than offsetting the slow first quarter.

Gross  profit for the three  months  ended  March 31, 1996 was 18% of net sales,
compared  to 20% for the same  period in 1995.  This  resulted  from the Company
selling,  at low margins,  slow moving inventory obtained in connection with its
4th quarter acquisitions.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage of sales
were 19.0% for the first quarter of 1996, versus 13.8% for 1995. Contributing to
this was the  acquisition  in the 4th quarter of 1995 of Palm Springs Golf whose
business  runs at an SG&A rate nearly twice that of the balance of the Company's
business.

Operating  loss for the first quarter of 1996 was $63,000  compared to operating
income of $340,000  for the first  quarter of 1995.  This is due  primarily to a
timing  variance in customer  orders and a loss at the  recently  acquired  Palm
Springs Golf subsidiary.

Interest expense  increased $94,000 in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the
first quarter of 1995 as a result of higher debt to finance the needs of two 4th
quarter  acquisitions,  offset by a lower rate that the Company paid on its bank
lines in the first quarter of 1996 versus the same period of 1995.

As a result of the above,  the net loss for the first  quarter  ending March 31,
1996 was  $227,000,  compared to net income of $155,000 for the same period last
year.
