(c) Investment in Redbird Properties, Ltd.
At June 30, 1995, the Company owned a 40 percent limited partnership
interest in Redbird Properties, Ltd. which owns the land and building in
which one of the Company's bowling centers (Red Bird Lanes) is located. The
other 60 percent interest was owned by Harold S. Elkan as a 30 percent
limited partner, and by his brother, directly and indirectly, as a one
percent general partner and 29 percent limited partner. Effective July 1,
1995, the Company purchased an additional 29 percent partnership interest
in Redbird Properties, Ltd. from Harold S. Elkan for $446,000. The purchase
price is payable in monthly installments of interest at 8 percent per annum
plus annual principal payments of $100,000 on January 1, 1996-1999 and
$46,000 on January 1, 2000. The agreement provides for an adjustment to the
purchase price if the partnership subsequently sells the real estate prior
to June 30, 1996. The Company's partnership interest is entitled to a
priority return over the other limited partners. The Company and the other
partners are co-guarantors of a loan to the partnership which is
collateralized by the partnership's land and building. See Note 5 (c)
regarding subsequent event.
The Company had accounted for its investment in Redbird Properties using
the equity method of accounting through June 30, 1995. As a result of
acquiring the additional 29 percent interest, Redbird Properties became a
consolidated subsidiary, effective July 1, 1995. This transaction resulted
in an increase in the following assets and liabilities: Property and
equipment- $1,537,984, Accumulated depreciation- $331,500; Note payable-
$713,538; Note payable, related party- $446,000. The effect of this
transaction was also to eliminate the Company's $134,975 investment in
Redbird Properties and to reduce Minority interests by $93,275, which
relates to advances to the other partners in excess of their basis. The
following is summarized financial information of Redbird Properties, Ltd.
as of and for the six months ended December 31, 1995 (included in the
consolidated condensed financial statements) and 1994 (accounted for using
the equity method).

Net loss ( 2,000) ( 3,000)
The note payable was originally scheduled to mature in January 1996 but the
due date was extended to February 7, 1997. The loan is otherwise due in
$9,060 monthly payments including principal and a variable rate of interest
at the banks prime rate (8-3/4% at December 31, 1995). The loan is
collateralized by the land, building and bowling equipment of the Redbird
Lanes bowling center.
4. Contingencies:
(a) Old Vail Partners (OVP), a consolidated subsidiary and 50 percent owned
by the Company, owns approximately 40 acres of undeveloped land and a 50
percent limited partnership interest in Vail Ranch Limited Partnership
(VRLP). VRLP is a partnership formed in September 1994 between OVP and a
third party (Developer) to develop 32 acres of the land that was
contributed by OVP to VRLP. The 40 acres of land owned by OVP and the 32
acres of land owned by VRLP 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 were issued
by the assessment district to fund the improvements. The annual payments
(made in semiannual installments) due related to the bonded debt are
approximately $156,000 for the 40 acres and $340,000 for the 32 acres.
The payments continue through the year 2014 and include interest at
approximately 7-3/4 percent. OVP and VRLP are delinquent in the payment
of property taxes and assessments for the last two to four years. The
County has judgments for the defaults under the assessment district
obligations on both properties. Other than a notice of levy for the
judgment affecting 33 acres of the 40 acre property, the County has not
yet commenced foreclosure proceedings on these judgments.
8
The amount due to cure the judgments at December 31, 1995 was
approximately $980,000 for the 32 acres owned by VRLP and $590,000 for
the 40 acres owned by OVP. The principal balance of the allocated
portion of the bonds ($1,513,730) related to the 40 acres, and
delinquent interest and penalties ($526,991) are classified as
"Assessment district obligation- in default" in the consolidated balance
sheet. In addition, accrued property taxes in the balance sheet includes
$221,799 of delinquent property taxes and late fees related to the 40
acre parcel. The judgment related to VRLP's 32 acres will be cured once
construction financing is obtained by VRLP.
In November 1993, the City of Temecula adopted a general development
plan that designates the 40 acres of 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 the 40 acre parcel from a
"commercial" to "professional office" use. The parcel is subject to
Assessment District liens which 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. 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. Subsequent Events:
(a)The Company's revolving line of credit limit was increased from $300,000
to $450,000 in January 1996 for the period of January 1996 until May 1,
1996. The line of credit expires in September 1996.
(b)On January 18, 1996, the Company received payment of $160,401 as payment
due in full on the contract for sale of 55 acres of land in Sierra County,
New Mexico. The Company had previously adjusted the carrying value of this
land to $40,000 and deferred recognition of gain on the sale until the
contract was paid. As a result of this payment, the Company will record a
gain on this transaction of $120,401 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
(c)Redbird Properties, Ltd. (Redbird Properties) has agreed to sell the real
estate in which Redbird Lanes is located for $2,800,000 cash. The
agreement is subject to several contingencies including government
approvals and soils and engineering studies. The scheduled closing date is
tentatively set for no latter than May 25, 1996. The Company is looking
alternate locations for the Redbird Lanes bowling center.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital deficit of $4,051,124 as of December 31, 1995 is a
$449,980 increase from the $3,601,144 working capital deficit as of June 30,
1995. The increase in the deficit is primarily attributable to the negative cash
flow from operations after debt service for the six months ended December 31,
1995. This increase is comparable to the same period in 1994 and is reflective
of the seasonality of the bowling industry.
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 40 acres of undeveloped land. The
County of Riverside has obtained judgments for the default in assessment
district payments. The amount due to cure the judgment as of December 31, 1995
is $590,000. This amount will increase by approximately $80,000 related to the
billings due in April 1996. Other than a notice of levy received in November
1995 on a 33 acre portion of the 40 acres of land, the County has not yet
commenced foreclosure proceedings on the judgments. 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 Temeculah to effectively down-zone the property. As a
results of the judgments and the attempts to down-zone the property, the
recoverability of the carrying value of this property is uncertain.
Redbird Properties, Ltd. (Redbird Properties) has agreed to sell the real estate
in which Red Bird Lanes is located for $2,800,000 cash. The agreement is subject
to several contingencies including government approvals and soils and
engineering studies. The scheduled closing date is tentatively set for no latter
than May 25, 1996. The net proceeds to the Company from this transaction after
payment of expenses of sale, payment of partnership loans, and distributions to
partners is estimated at $1,700,000. The Company is currently looking for
alternative locations for the Redbird Lanes Bowling Center.
Excluding the proceeds from the potential sale of Redbird Properties' real
estate, management estimates a $150,000 cash flow deficit for the remaining two
quarters in the year ending June 30, 1996 from operating activities after adding
estimated distributions from UCV ($300,000) and deducting capital expenditures
and scheduled principal payments on long-term debt. The Company believes its
cash at December 31, 1995 and the Company's line of credit will be sufficient to
fund the expected cash flow deficit. This analysis does not include
consideration of the following due to their uncertainty: any distributions the
Company may receive from its investment in Vail Ranch Limited Partners; or, any
payments due for delinquent or current property taxes and assessments on
undeveloped land because these amounts may not be paid unless the Company is
able to obtain an alternative source of funds.

========== ==========
Bowling revenues decreased by 4% and 5% in the six and three month periods,
respectively, primarily due to the decreases in open and league play at two of
the bowling centers in Georgia and one of the centers in California. Overall,
games played have decreased by 3% in both the six and three month periods. The
average rate paid has also decreased due to special pricing related to open
play. Food and beverage revenues have also decreased, partially because of the
decreased bowling, but also because of a trend towards reduced alcohol
consumption. The ratio of alcoholic beverage sales to bowling sales is down 11%
and 6% for the six and three month periods, respectively.
On July 1, 1995, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Redbird
Properties, Ltd., which owns the land and building in which Redbird Lanes
bowling center is located and had previously been an unconsolidated subsidiary.
The consolidation of Redbird Properties, Ltd., effective July 1, 1995, resulted
in reductions in rent expense in the six and three month periods as a result of
its elimination in consolidation and a corresponding increase in depreciation
and interest expense related to ownership of the property. This decrease in rent
expense was partially offset by scheduled rent increases at one of the other
bowling centers.
Bowling costs and selling, general and administrative costs both decreased due
to decreases in payroll and related expenses as a result of staffing changes
implemented in December 1994. The payroll reductions will not likely be
significant in the future now that they have been in place over one year.
11
The reduction of selling, general and administrative expense attributable to the
frequent bowler program was the result of the actual points awarded at the end
of the year being less than the rate used for accrual purposes. The Company has
adjusted its accrual rate for future months so this decrease is not likely to
recur. Promotional expenses otherwise increased primarily due the use of free
promotional bowling and other special pricing used in programs during the first
quarter. The decrease in insurance expense was attributable to lower insurance
rates at all six bowling centers on the policies that renewed in September 1995.
Other than the change related to acquiring a controlling interest in Redbird
Properties, depreciation expense decreased primarily due to the expiration of
the useful life used to depreciate assets for a bowling center acquired in
1988.
Other than the change related to acquiring a controlling interest in Redbird
Properties, interest expense decreased generally due to a reduction of the
outstanding balances of notes payable and decreases in the interest rates of
some loans.
RENTAL OPERATIONS:
In October 1994, the Company transferred title in an office building to the
lender in complete satisfaction of a related note payable. As a result of the
disposition of this office building, the following items increased (decreased):
Six Three
Months Months
------- ------
Bowling revenues:
Rental revenues ................... (50,000) --
Rental costs ...................... (22,000) 3,000
Depreciation ...................... (27,000) --
Interest expense .................. (12,000) 17,000
Loss from rental operations ....... (11,000) 20,000
Rental revenues otherwise increased by $33,000 and $11,000 in the six and three
month periods due to improved occupancy at the remaining office building during
each of those periods and due to the inclusion in last year's first quarter of
$11,000 of rental revenues from Old Vail Partners, which became a consolidated
subsidiary on October 1, 1994.
Interest expense related to the rental segment otherwise decreased by $18,000
during the six month period as a result of refinancing the loan collateralized
by the remaining office building in October 1994 with a loan at a lower interest
rate.
OTHER ACTIVITIES:
Construction revenues and costs increased in the six and three month periods due
to several large tenant improvement contracts that were completed during the
second quarter. Construction costs as a percentage of construction revenues
stayed relatively consistent in the range of 82%-84% during the six and three
month periods. Selling, general and administrative costs related to the
construction segment increased by $53,000 and $68,000 during the six and three
month periods, respectively, primarily due to increased incentive compensation
as a result of the increased profitability in the second quarter.
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. Old Vail Partners became a
consolidated subsidiary on October 1, 1994.
Other than changes associated with the bowling and construction segments,
selling, general and administrative expense decreased by $38,000 (14%) in 1995.
This reduction is primarily due to reductions in corporate office payroll
($26,000) and travel expenses. The reduction in payroll expense is the result of
some restructuring that was implemented in January 1995.
The equity in income of investees increased by $38,000 in the three month period
due to improved occupancy of University City Village (UCV). This increase in the
second quarter offset a $76,000 decrease in the equity of income of UCV in the
first quarter due to the increased interest expense resulting from refinancing
the long term debt in June 1994. The first quarter decrease in equity in income
of investees was partially offset by a $40,000 decrease in the equity in loss of
Old Vail Partners in the first quarter because Old Vail Partners became a
consolidated subsidiary in October 1995.
