4. Contingencies:

   (a) Old Vail Partners  (OVP), a consolidated  subsidiary and 50 percent owned
     by the Company,  owns  approximately  33 acres of undeveloped land that are
     located  within a special  assessment  district of the County of Riverside,
     California  (the  County)  which was created to fund and develop  roadways,
     sewers,  and  other  required  infrastructure   improvements  in  the  area
     necessary for the owners to develop their  properties.  Property within the
     assessment  district is collateral  for an allocated  portion of the bonded
     debt that was issued by the assessment  district to fund the  improvements.
     The annual  payments (made in semiannual  installments)  due related to the
     bonded  debt are  approximately  $144,000  for the 33 acres.  The  payments
     continue through the year 2014 and include interest at approximately  7-3/4
     percent. OVP is delinquent in the payment of property taxes and assessments
     for the last six  years.  The  property  is  currently  subject  to default
     judgments to the County of  Riverside,  California  totaling  approximately
     $1,842,819 regarding delinquent  assessment district payments  ($1,307,526)
     and property taxes ($535,293).

     The principal balance of the allocated  portion of the assessment  district
     bonds  ($1,134,976  at December 31, 1998 and  $1,160,500 at June 30, 1998),
     and delinquent  principal,  interest and penalties  ($1,307,526 at December
     31, 1998 and  $1,159,326 at June 30, 1998) are  classified  as  "Assessment
     district  obligation-  in default" in the  consolidated  condensed  balance
     sheet. In addition,  accrued property taxes in the  consolidated  condensed
     balance  sheet  include  $535,293 at December 31, 1998 and $487,728 at June
     30, 1998 of delinquent  property taxes and late fees related to the 33-acre
     parcel.

     In November 1993, the City of Temecula  adopted a general  development plan
     that  designated  the property  owned by OVP as suitable for  "professional
     office" use, which is contrary to its zoning as  "commercial"  use. As part
     of the  adoption  of its  general  development  plan,  the City of Temecula
     adopted a  provision  that,  until  the  zoning is  changed  on  properties
     affected by the general  plan,  the general  plan shall  prevail when a use
     designated by the general plan  conflicts  with the existing  zoning on the
     property.  The  result  is  that  the  City  of  Temecula  has  effectively
     down-zoned OVP's property from a "commercial" to "professional office" use.
     The property is subject to Assessment District liens that were allocated in
     1989 based on a higher  "commercial"  use.  Since the  Assessment  District
     liens  are not  subject  to  reapportionment  as a result of  re-zoning,  a
     "professional   office"  use  is  not  economically  feasible  due  to  the
     disproportionately  high allocation of Assessment  District costs.  OVP has
     filed suit against the City of Temecula  claiming that the City's  adoption
     of a general  plan as a means of  effectively  re-zoning  the  property  is
     invalid.  Additionally, OVP is claiming that, if the effective re-zoning is
     valid,  the  action is a taking  and  damaging  of OVP's  property  without
     payment  of  just  compensation.  OVP is  seeking  to  have  the  effective
     re-zoning  invalidated and an unspecified  amount of damages. A stipulation
     was entered that dismissed  this suit without  prejudice and agreed to toll
     all applicable  statute of  limitations  while OVP and the City of Temecula
     attempted  to  informally  resolve  this  litigation.  The  outcome of this
     litigation  is  uncertain.  If the City of  Temecula is  successful  in its
     attempt  to  down-zone  the  property,  the  value of the  property  may be
     significantly impaired.

   (b) The Company is involved in other various routine  litigation and disputes
     incident to its business. In the management's opinion, based in part on the
     advice of legal counsel, none of these matters will have a material adverse
     affect on the Company's financial position.

5.   Comprehensive  Income- On July 1, 1998,  the company  adopted  Statement of
     Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive
     Income. SFAS No. 130 requires the reporting of comprehensive  income (loss)
     in addition to net income  (loss).  Comprehensive  income  (loss) is a more
     inclusive  financial  reporting  methodology  that  includes  disclosure of
     certain financial  information that historically has not been recognized in
     the  calculation on net income  (loss).  The adoption of this statement did
     not have an effect on the consolidated condensed financial statements.

6. Reclassifications-  Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the prior
   year financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 1998.

7. Significant Events:

   On January 11, 1999 the maturity  date on a $80,673 note payable that was due
   February  1999 was extended to February  2004.  The interest rate was reduced
   from 8-1/2 percent to 8 percent.

8. Liquidity

   The  accompanying  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
   prepared  assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company
   has  suffered  recurring  losses  from  operations,  has  a  working  capital
   deficiency,  and is  forecasting  negative  cash  flows  for the next  twelve
   months.  These items raise  substantial  doubt about the Company's ability to
   continue as a going  concern.  The  Company's  ability to continue as a going
   concern is dependent  on either  refinancing  or selling  certain real estate
   assets or increases in the sales volume of its subsidiary, Penley Sports.

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

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                         -------------------------------

Excluding  the  balance  of  the  assessment-district-obligation-in-default  and
property  taxes in default  related to the same  property  which are included in
current liabilities, the Company has working capital of $167,937 at December 31,
1998, which is a $820,229 decrease from the similarly calculated working capital
of $988,166 at June 30,  1998.  The  decrease  in working  capital is  primarily
attributable  to the cash used by operating  activities for the six months ended
December  31, 1998.  The  following  is a schedule of the cash  provided  (used)
before changes in assets and liabilities, segregated by business segments:

As  described  in  Note 4 of  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Condensed  Financial
Statements, Old Vail Partners is delinquent in the payment of special assessment
district  obligations  and property taxes on 33 acres of  undeveloped  land. The
County of  Riverside  has  obtained  judgments  for the  defaults in  assessment
district payments and property taxes. The amount due to cure the judgments as of
December 31, 1998 is $1,843,000.  If the County of Riverside  takes the property
to public sale and the judgments are not satisfied  prior to the sale,  Old Vail
Partners  could lose title to the property and the property would not be subject
to  redemption.  Also  as  described  in  Note 4 of the  Notes  to  Consolidated
Condensed  Financial  Statements,  Old Vail Partners is contesting an attempt by
the City of Temecula to effectively  down-zone the property.  As a result of the
judgments and the attempts to down-zone the property,  the recoverability of the
carrying value of this property is uncertain.

UCV, L.P. (UCV) is currently  evaluating the  feasibility  of  redeveloping  the
apartment  project from 542 units to approximately  1,100 units. As part of this
process,  UCV  is  attempting  to  obtain  local  government  approval  for  the
redevelopment.  UCV  expects  a  decision  prior  to the end of  calendar  1999.
Management  does not expect  the  redevelopment  planning  process to affect the
distributions  to partners from  operating  activities  because  $500,000 of the
refinancing proceeds (May 1998) were allocated for the planning costs.

Old Vail Partners (OVP) received a $576,000 distribution from Vail Ranch Limited
Partnership  in  August  1998 as its  share  of the  distribution  from  the new
partnership  with an affiliate of New Plan Realty Trust (formerly Excel Realty).
OVP also  received  additional  distributions  of $70,554 in the  quarter  ended
December  31,  1998.  However,  it is  unlikely  that there will be  significant
distributions  in the future  until the  remaining  undeveloped  land in the new
partnership is developed and sold.

Management  estimates  negative cash flow of  $1,100,000  to $1,200,000  for the
remaining  quarters of the year ending June 30, 1999 from  operating  activities
after adding estimated  distributions  from UCV ($390,000) and deducting capital
expenditures and scheduled  principal payments on long-term debt.  Management is
currently  evaluating  other  sources of working  capital from  refinancing  its
office  building  or the  sale  of  undeveloped  land  in  Temecula  to  provide
sufficient funds for this cash flow deficit. If the Company is not successful in
obtaining  other sources of working  capital this could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

                              YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
                              --------------------

The Company has a program to  identify,  evaluate and  implement  changes to its
computer  systems as  necessary  to address the Year 2000 issue.  The program is
broken  down  into  three  separate  categories:   computer  systems,   embedded
technologies, and third party relationships.

   Computer systems- This category consists  primarily of the Company's software
     and hardware for its  accounting  system.  The Company is in the process of
     evaluating its existing desktop computers and software systems.  Based upon
     an initial evaluation as well as representations  from some of the software
     suppliers,  the management's best estimate is that, other than software and
     equipment upgrades made in the normal course of business, it will not incur
     any significant expenses to become fully Year 2000 compliant.

   Embedded  Technologies-  This  category  includes  company  owned  or  leased
     equipment with microprocessors or microcontrollers.  This type of equipment
     principally  consists of phone equipment,  automatic  scorekeepers and cash
     registers at the bowling centers,  and manufacturing  equipment at the golf
     shaft   manufacturer.   Based  upon  an  initial   evaluation  as  well  as
     representations from some of the equipment suppliers, the management's best
     estimate is that, other than acquiring a software upgrade for the automatic
     scorekeeping equipment, the price of which has not yet been determined,  it
     will  not  incur  any  significant  expenses  to  become  fully  Year  2000
     compliant.

   Third Party Relationships- This category includes critical relationships with
     vendors  such as  graphite  manufacturers  in the golf shaft  segment,  and
     providers  of local  utilities  (water and  electricity).  The Company will
     implement a program conducting discussions with these types of suppliers in
     calendar  year 1999.  There can be no  guarantee  that the systems of other
     companies that support the Company's operations will be timely converted or
     that a failure by these companies to correct their Year 2000 problems would
     not have a material adverse effect on the Company. At the present time, the
     Company  does not have a  contingency  plan in place in the event of a Year
     2000 failure at one of the Company's  significant  suppliers.  However, the
     Company plans to create a contingency plan in the calendar year 1999.

If the steps taken by the Company and its vendors to be Year 2000  compliant are
not successful,  the Company could experience various operational  difficulties.
These could include, among other things, processing transactions to an incorrect
accounting  period,  difficulties in posting general ledger interfaces and lapse
of certain  services by vendors to the  Company's  operations.  If the Company's
plan to install new systems which effectively address the Year 2000 issue is not
successfully  or  timely  implemented,  the  Company  may  need to  devote  more
resources  to the  process and  additional  costs may be  incurred.  The Company
believes  that the Year  2000  issue is  being  appropriately  addressed  by the
Company and its critical vendors and does not expect the Year 2000 issue to have
a material  adverse impact on the financial  position,  results of operations or
cash  flows of the  Company in future  periods.  However,  should the  remaining
review  of the  Company's  Year  2000  risks  reveal  potentially  non-compliant
computer systems or material third parties,  contingency plans will be developed
at that time.

</TABLE>

   Note:  The change in rental  revenues  and SG&A  expenses  do not include the
   effect of the net change in  elimination of  intercompany  rent of $1,173 and
   $597 for the six and three month periods respectively.

BOWLING OPERATIONS:
- -------------------
Bowling revenues remained relatively flat in the three and six month periods. In
each period the number of games  bowled  decreased  by 6%,  which was  primarily
attributable to a decline in league play.  These decreases were partially offset
by a 12% increase in the average  price of open-play in each period.  Management
feels that there will  continue  to be a decline in league  bowling  but this is
likely to continue to be offset by increases  in the number of  open-play  games
bowled and the price per game of open-play.

Bowl costs remained  relatively flat for the six month period and declined by 4%
for the three month period. The decrease in bowl costs in the three-month period
was  primarily due to the timing of annual pin purchases in the first quarter of
1998 ($16,000) that occurred during the second quarter of 1997.

Depreciation and amortization  expense  decreased in the six-month period due to
equipment and goodwill acquired in 1983 (when the bowls were purchased) becoming
fully depreciated and amortized in the year ended June 30, 1998.

Interest  expense  related  to the  bowling  segment  decreased  because  of the
extinguishment  of all bowl  related  financing  during  the year ended June 30,
1998.

RENTAL OPERATIONS:
- ------------------
Rental  revenues  increased  by 11% and 13% in the six and three month  periods,
respectively.  This is primarily  due to a 10% increase in the rental rates over
the previous year. There were no other significant  changes to the components of
the rental  segment in the three and six-month  periods except for the equity in
income of investees, which is primarily UCV.

The equity in income of UCV decreased in the six-month period primarily due to a
$197,000  write-off  of  unamortized  loan fees in the current year related to a
refinancing  of long-term  debt.  This  increase in UCV's  expense was partially
offset by an $81,000 reduction in UCV's depreciation  expense,  which relates to
the  acquisition  cost of the building  becoming fully  depreciated in the prior
year.  Depreciation  expense also  decreased by $40,000  during the  three-month
period for the same reason. Rental revenues of UCV increased by $49,000 (2%) and
$32,000 (3%) during the six and three month periods, respectively, primarily due
to increases in the average rental rate. Operating expenses remained essentially
the same as the prior periods.

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT OPERATIONS:
- -----------------------------------
Development  costs and expenses  primarily  consists of legal costs  incurred to
contest the City of Temecula's  attempts to down-zone the undeveloped land owned
by Old  Vail  Partners.  Interest  expense  related  to  development  activities
primarily  relates to interest  accrued on the past due and  current  assessment
district obligations of Old Vail Partners.

GOLF OPERATIONS:
- ----------------
Sales during the three and six month periods ended  December 31, 1998  continued
to be insignificant because the Company has not yet generated sales to golf club
manufacturers or distributors.  The Company expects that it will be at least six
to nine months before the Company is able to generate  sales with these types of
customers.  Sales  during the three and six month  periods were  principally  to
custom golf shops. The following is a breakdown of the costs associated with the
golf operation:

 UNALLOCATED AND OTHER
 ---------------------
Other  revenues  increased in the three and six month  periods  primarily due to
development  planning  fees  collected  from  UCV  starting  in  July  1998  and
administrative  fees  collected  from  Ocean  West  Builders,   Inc.  which  had
previously been a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of the Company.

Selling, general and administrative expense increased in the three and six month
periods because of bonuses awarded in December 1998.

Interest expense decreased in the three and six month periods due to a reduction
in long-term debt in June of 1998.
