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

Management's Discussion
- -----------------------

The Company was incorporated in the State of Oregon, U.S.A. on July 27, 1992 and
is in the business of developing and commercially exploiting an improved axial
vane type rotary engine known as the Rand Cam/Direct Charge Engine ("The
Engine"), which is a variation of the original Rand-Cam Engine. The world-wide
marketing and intellectual rights, other than the U.S., are held by Rand Energy
Group Inc. ("REGI") which controls the Company. The Company owns the U.S.
marketing and intellectual rights and has a project cost sharing agreement,
effective May 1, 1993, whereby it will fund 50% of the further development of
The Engine and REGI will fund 50%.

In a development stage company, management devotes most of its activities to
establishing a new business. Planned principle activities have not yet produced
significant revenue. The ability of the Company to emerge from the development
stage with respect to its planned principle business activity is dependent upon
its successful efforts to raise additional equity financing and develop the
market for its products.

Progress Report from August 1, 1998 to December 9, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------

On August 7th, 1998 the Company announced that an agreement was completed with
Trans Air Manufacturing Corporation ("Trans Air") to jointly develop and
manufacture a working prototype compressor for air conditioning for buses. Trans
Air, founded in 1979, has successfully manufactured and supported the highest
quality transportation air conditioning systems in the industry using a single
basic premise, which is to make a quality product and stand behind it.

By News Release dated August 19th, 1998 the Company announced that, pursuant to
a private placement of 500,000 units at a price of $2.00 per unit completed in
1995, the warrants forming part of the units were exercisable at a price of
$2.50 per share, expiring on August 16, 1998. Due to the current market price of
the common stock of the Company, the Board of Directors elected to extend the
term of the warrants for an additional six months. Accordingly, the 500,000
warrants are now exercisable on or before February 16, 1999 at a price of $2.50
per share.

On August 24th, 1998 the Company announced that the current oil pump tests
results were successfully completed by the Company's engineers. The Rand Cam(TM)
oil pump was tested up to 650 psi with no signs of stress. The conventional oil
pump pressures peak at 300 psi with 200 psi as the standard operating pressure.

The Company's engineers have commenced the production design for the Rand
Cam(TM) oil pump for commercialization for automotive use to be completed by
November of this year. The Company believes that this unique patented rotary
design should open a completely new opportunity for all pump applications. The
Rand Cam(TM) pump is an efficient, smooth and quiet running design that will
require very little maintenance due to the simplicity of the design.

By News Release dated October 5th, 1998 the Company issued a progress report on
the Rand Cam(TM) oil pump from its engineer, Paul LaMarche, which states that
the Rand Cam(TM) design oil pump was tested at the Ford Motor test labs with the
following results:

- -  The pump showed 10% greater volumetric efficiency than current production
   pumps of the same displacement;

- -  The Rand Cam(TM) pump was much quieter than the existing pumps used today. By
   using a simulated stethoscope the sound from the hydraulic motor completely
   masked any sound that the pump could make. The noise factor is the most
   important problem with hydraulic pumps.

- -  The Rand Cam(TM) pump ran cooler than the existing pumps used today.

- -  This particular Rand Cam(TM) pump was designed with four separate pumping
   chambers. Each is capable of producing a different pressure in each of the
   pump chambers. This is believed to be the only pump in existence to
   integrally accomplish this feat. By using an approximate combination of
   chambers and pressures, energy waste and undesirable heat buildup are
   reduced. For automotive use, increased performance and fuel economy, plus
   decreased cooling requirements, all highly desirable attributes, are
   achieved.

                                      -6-

Negotiations are planned with compressor and pump manufacturers to produce the
Rand Cam(TM) oil pump and the compressor for commercial applications.

On October 30th, 1998 the Company announced that it had entered into a
Manufacturing Agreement with T.W. Blasingame Company, Inc., of Boise Idaho
("Blasingame"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted to
Blasingame the exclusive world-wide rights to market and sell a steam
expander/hot air version of the Rand Cam/Direct Charge(TM) engine (the "RC/DC
Engine") for locomotive/railway applications. Pursuant to the terms thereto,
Blasingame has granted the exclusive world-wide rights to the Company to
manufacture, market and sell the vane restraint mechanism developed by
Blasingame for all applications of the RC/DC Engine, which vane restraint
mechanism has increased the rotational speed of the RC/DC Engine from 500
revolutions per minute to 1,200 revolutions per minute.

Blasingame and the Company have also agreed to jointly develop the RC/DC engine
for diesel engine manufacturers for locomotive/railway applications and such
other applications as the Company may agree to in writing.

A royalty equal to 10% of the gross sale price for each RC/DC Engine using the
vane restraint mechanism is payable as to 75% to the Company and 25% to
Blasingame.

Results of operations for the six months ended October 31, 1998 compared to the
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
six months ended October 31, 1997
- ---------------------------------

There were no revenues from product licensing during the periods.

The net loss in 1998 decreased by $72,000 to $203,000 compared to $275,000 in
1997. Only one full time consultant was hired for investor relations activities
during the period. The Company has accrued $57,000 in favour of three public
relations consultants. The Company will issue 72,000 shares to settle this
liability for services performed during the period. The Company has cost sharing
arrangements with other affiliated companies to keep overall overhead costs to a
minimum.

Basic ongoing research and development activities took place during the six
months ended October 31, 1998. Paul LaMarche and Patrick Badgley undertook the
majority of development activities during the quarter and were paid technical
consulting fees totalling $42,000. The low costs for research and development is
due to more cost effective prototype construction activity than in previous
periods. The Company did not undertake any market development work during 1998
as compared to $100,000 in 1997.

Liquidity
- ---------

During the six months ended October 31, 1998, the Company's operations were
financed through advances from its parent company Rand Energy Group Inc.
("RAND") and other affiliated companies. Rand periodically sells small
quantities of common stock of the Company into the open market and advances the
proceeds to the Company as needed.

Unexercised stock options and warrants, if exercised, could raise $1,163,000 of
additional funds.

The Company continues to finance its operations through funding from RAND and
other affiliated companies. The Company also has a cost sharing arrangement with
RAND for ongoing research and development of the RC/DC Engine. The Company is
solely responsible for ongoing development of the recently acquired world-wide
rights (except Canada) to the Air/Vapor Flow System.

The Company's ability to pay debts as they become due and to finance future
overhead and development is contingent upon receiving funds from RAND which is
dependent upon the ability to sell shares it owns of the Company into the
market.
