      voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court seeking

      (the "Code").

      On October 31, 1989, the Company filed an Amended Plan of Reorganization

      29, 1989, the Company filed its Second Amended and Restated Consolidated
      Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") with the Federal Bankruptcy Court. On
      December 4, 1989, the Disclosure Statement corresponding to the Plan was
      approved by the Court for distribution to creditors and shareholders. The
      Plan was approved by vote of the creditors and shareholders of the
      Company, and by entry of an order dated February 1, 1990, the Plan was
      confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
      of New York. The effective date of the Plan was February 28, 1990.

      The Plan provided for the creation of the Reorganization and Product
      Liability Trusts in order to liquidate the Company's remaining assets and
      effectuate distributions to the Company's creditors. The Plan also
      provided for the emergence of reorganized Ranger Industries, and further
      contemplates that Ranger will engage in the business of acquiring income
      producing properties or businesses. In this regard, all remaining assets
      and liabilities, except for $950,000 retained by the Company for working
      capital purposes, were transferred to the Reorganization and Product
      Liability Trusts, respectively, effective February 28, 1990.

      On May 29, 1996, the Reorganization Trust made its final cash
      distribution to creditors. Upon final order of the Bankruptcy Court,
      expected to be obtained later in 1996, this Trust will be closed.

      The Product Liability Trust continues to process and liquidate certain
      product liability related claims. Pursuant to the terms of the Product
      Liability Trust Agreement, upon the earlier of (a) February 28, 2020, or
      (b) 30 days after the Bankruptcy Court approves the termination of the
      Product Liability Trust, after distribution of all of its assets, any

      residual funds will revert to the Company, as Grantor of the Trust.

1.    Organization, Continued:

      Additionally, on February 28, 1990, all existing equity and debt
      securities previously issued by Ranger Industries, Inc. were canceled.
      The previously existing stock was replaced with 4,000,000 shares of new
      common stock in Ranger Industries, Inc. with a par value of $.01 per
      share. The new stock was initially held by the Reorganization Trust, but
      was subsequently distributed to the unsecured creditors in accordance
      with the Plan. In addition, 10,000,000 shares of no par value preferred
      stock have been authorized although none have yet been issued.

2.    Management's Representation:

      The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and
      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and results
      of Operations included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report filed on Form
      10-KSB and in this Form 10-QSB report.

      In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
      presentation of the results for the interim periods have been made.

3.    Income Taxes:

      Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").
      SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for
      the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in
      the financial statements or income tax returns. Under this method,
      deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the
      difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
      liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the
      differences are expected to reverse. In addition, deferred tax assets are
      subject to a valuation allowance to reduce them to net realizable value.

                                    -------


3.    Income Taxes, Continued:

      As discussed in Note 1, the assets and liabilities of the Company, except
      for $950,000 retained for working capital purposes, were transferred to
      the Reorganization and Product Liability Trusts, respectively, effective
      February 28, 1990, in accordance with the Plan. Although the matter is
      not free from doubt, these Trusts have been treated as grantor trusts.
      Accordingly, taxable income or loss associated with the disposition of
      assets and the settlement of liabilities by the Trusts are reflected on
      the federal income tax return of Ranger Industries, Inc., although such
      assets and liabilities are not presented in these consolidated financial
      statements (also see Note 4).

      Tax expense or benefit is attributable to state taxes due, partially
      offset by amounts due under a tax sharing agreement between Ranger
      Industries, Inc. and the Reorganization Trust whereby the Trust
      reimburses Ranger for taxes paid in certain states.

      At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, it was estimated that the Company
      had adjusted tax net operating loss carryforwards and future deductions
      of approximately $185 million after giving effect to the Plan and the
      transactions contemplated thereby, which may be used to offset future
      taxable income, subject to several limitations, and which begin to expire
      in the year 2002. These amounts include the tax consequences of the
      activity of the Reorganization and Product Liability Trusts, as well as
      the activity of Ranger Industries, Inc. At June 30, 1996 and December 31,
      1995, the Company had Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) loss carryforwards of
      approximately $161 million which will begin to expire in the year 2002.
      The Company also had approximately $13.6 million in tax credit
      carryforwards which began expiring in 1993. At the current tax rates, the
      taxable income equivalent of the credit carryforwards is approximately
      $38.5 million.

      Under current tax laws, the Internal Revenue Code provides for certain
      limitations following an "ownership change". Accordingly, under the
      confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the continued availability of the
      Company's net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may
      be subject to substantial limitations (also see Note 4).

      At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the only remaining book and tax
      base differentials related to the claim settlement activities of the

      Reorganization and Product Liability Trusts. Additionally, any deferred
      tax asset recorded to recognize the tax net operating loss carryforwards
      would be subject to a full valuation allowance under the provisions of
      SFAS 109, due to uncertainty of the Company's ability to generate taxable
      income to utilize the carryforwards. The Company's tax liabilities at
      December 31, 1995 were attributable to federal alternative minimum tax
      and state minimum taxes.

4.    Treasury Regulation:

      On January 6, 1992, the Department of the Treasury promulgated new
      Treasury Regulations. These regulations interpret Section 269 of the
      Internal Revenue Code which permits the Internal Revenue Service to deny
      corporations the ability to use tax benefits, such as net operating
      losses ("NOLs") where control of the corporation was acquired for the
      principal purpose of avoiding tax. The regulations provide that if a
      corporation in a bankruptcy reorganization that qualifies for an
      exemption from the general rule limiting the use of net operating loss
      carryforwards does not carry on a significant amount of an active trade
      or business during and subsequent to such bankruptcy reorganization, the
      Internal Revenue Service will presume, absent a showing of strong
      evidence to the contrary, that the principal purpose of the
      reorganization was to evade or avoid Federal income tax and that Section
      269 should apply. The regulations are only effective, by their terms,
      with respect to acquisitions of control of corporations occurring after
      August 14, 1990 and, accordingly, they do not apply to Ranger Industries,
      Inc.

      Despite the inapplicability of these regulations to Ranger, the issue of
      essentially inactive reorganized companies with NOLs that survive
      bankruptcy intact has now been firmly raised in the eyes of the Internal
      Revenue Service. Accordingly, due to the Company's disposition of its
      historic toy businesses to Hasbro and the Company's switch to a new
      business of acquiring investments, it is possible that the Internal
      Revenue Service may assert that the Company has not carried on a
      significant trade or business during and subsequent to its
      reorganization. If such an assertion is made and ultimately sustained,
      then the Company would be unable to utilize its estimated $185 million of
      net operating loss carryforwards. This could have a materially adverse

      effect on the Company's ability to attract outside investors willing to
      invest in the Company. Notwithstanding these regulations, there can be no
      assurance that the Company will be able to attract sufficient outside
      investment to allow it to continue to operate, once its current working
      capital is depleted. The consolidated financial statements do not include
      any adjustments that might result from the resolution of these
      uncertainties.

5.    Related Party Transactions:

      The Company has entered into an Agreement with Sass Lamle Rubin & Company
      ("SLR"), of which James B. Rubin is Senior Managing Director, under which
      SLR will provide accounting, administrative, financial, legal,
      secretarial and other support services at the Company's request. The
      Company incurred costs of $4,800 for these services for each of the
      quarters ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. For each of the six-month periods
      ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company incurred costs of $9,600 for
      these services.

      Effective August 1, 1990, Mr. Rubin, as Chief Executive Officer, is
      entitled to an annual salary of $50,000. All fees for his services
      during the year are included in administrative expenses in the
      consolidated financial statements.

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

Overview

          This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements including the Notes thereto.

          During the first quarter of 1990, Ranger Industries, Inc. (the

"Company" or "Ranger") emerged from bankruptcy on February 28, 1990. The
Company filed a voluntary petition on July 11, 1988 under Chapter 11 of Title
11 of the United States Code seeking protection from creditors. The Company and
the Company's Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors jointly proposed and
filed the Second Amended and Restated Consolidated Plan of Reorganization dated
November 29, 1989 (the "Plan") with the Bankruptcy Court. The effective date of
the Plan was February 28, 1990.

          Management believes that the business potential of the Company is
contingent upon an acquisition strategy designed to generate earnings and cash
flow. The utilization of the Company's net operating and other tax loss
carryforwards should help it to achieve its long-term potential. Accordingly,
the Company is seeking one or more individuals or entities ("Investors")
willing to invest in the Company in consideration for less than 50 percent of
the Common Stock. Although such a transaction would result in the issuance of
not more than four million additional shares of the common stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and a substantial dilution of the
percentage equity interest of other holders of the Common Stock, the Company
believes that its ability to continue to exist in the long term is dependent
upon attracting one or more Investors. There can be no assurance that the
Company will attract Investors or that it will be able to successfully acquire
other businesses. The Company did not issue any shares of the Common Stock to
any Investors in the first six months of 1996. Since rule making by the
Department of the Treasury, which rule making may make the Company's tax loss
carryforwards unavailable to the Company, the Company's ability to attract
investors on a reasonable investment basis may be adversely affected. See Part
II, Item 5 "Other Information."

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Company's liquidity and capital resources have been completely
changed as a result of the effectiveness of the Plan. In connection with the
Plan, the Bankruptcy Court approved the establishment of the Reorganization
Trust and the Product Liability Trust. Concurrently with the creation of these
two trusts, the Company distributed all its cash (except for $950,000 retained
as working capital) and other assets and liabilities to creditors and the
trusts, and the trusts assumed responsibility for substantially all remaining
cash distributions pursuant to the Plan to be made to holders of claims and
interests.

                                     -10-




          The Reorganization Trust is the primary vehicle for distributions
under the Plan. The Reorganization Trust has completed all of its distributions
and is in the process of winding up the trust.

          The Product Liability Trust processes and liquidates product
liability claims arising out of events that have taken place, or will take
place, on or after May 15, 1990 and makes distributions to holders of settled
or adjudicated claims. The trust contains assets of approximately $11 million
as of March 31, 1996. Pursuant to the terms of the Product Liability Trust,

upon the earlier of (a) February 28, 2020, or (b) 30 days after the Bankruptcy
Court approves the termination of the Product Liability Trust after
distribution of all its assets, any residual funds remaining in the Product
Liability Trust will be distributed to Ranger. Stewart J. Kahn is the current
trustee of the Reorganization Trust and was appointed the trustee of the
Product Liability Trust on July 15, 1996, replacing Bruce W. Strausberg, the
initial trustee. At the Company's request, Mr. Kahn will undertake an
evaluation of the claims history of the Product Liability Trust. Based on that
evaluation and other analyses to be conducted by the Company, the Company may
take steps to terminate the Products Liability Trust earlier than originally
scheduled or seek a partial distribution of its assets; provided, however,
there can be no assurance that the Company will take such steps or if the
Company does, that it will be successful in doing so.

          The Company's working capital immediately after consummation of the
Plan was $950,000, representing the only monies the Company did not transfer to
the Reorganization Trust. The Company's working capital was approximately
$6,854 as of June 30, 1996. Such sum (and any earnings the Company receives
upon the investment thereof) is the Company's only source of cash.

          The Company is a net user of cash, and its projected operating costs
and expenses for remaining calendar 1996 are approximately $70,000. In
addition, the Company has no existing credit lines or commitments from any
lenders and does not believe it will be able to obtain any substantial credit
line or commitment under current circumstances. Accordingly, unless it develops
additional sources of funds, the Company will deplete its cash reserves and
will not have sufficient capital to pay its projected 1996 expenditures or to
operate beyond the first nine months of 1996.

          The Company's ability to continue beyond the first nine months of
1996 is dependent upon its ability to attract Investors. There can be no
assurance that the Company will attract Investors or acquire investments or
that it will be able to continue operating beyond the first nine months of
1996.

Changes in Financial Condition

          The Company's financial condition is set forth in the Balance Sheet
as of June 30, 1996. See "Overview" and the

                                     -11-



discussion of "Liquidity and Capital Resources" immediately above for an
overview of the financial condition of Ranger at June 30, 1996.

Results of Operations

          Results of operations for June 30, 1996 reflect the fact that the
Company is dependent on its ability to attract Investors.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996


          During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had no net
sales as it continued to pursue Investors but had interest income of $42
compared to $1,307 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. During this
period, operating costs and expenses, principally administrative expenses and
taxes, were $10,138 compared to $36,291 for the same period ending June 30,
1995. The operating costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996
reflect a $30,000 benefit for income taxes. Operating costs exceeded income
resulting in a net loss of $10,096 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.
The Company also experienced a net loss for the three months ended June 30,
1995 in the amount of $34,984.

          During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had no net
sales, but had interest income of $471 compared to $2,676 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995. For the first half, operating costs and expenses,
principally administrative expenses and taxes, were $46,195 compared to $72,413
for the same period ending June 30, 1995. The operating costs and expenses for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 reflect a $30,000 benefit for income taxes.
Operating costs exceeded income resulting in a net loss of $45,724 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. The Company also experienced a net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 in the amount of $69,737.

                                    PART II
                               OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5. Other Information

          On January 6, 1992 the Department of the Treasury promulgated new
Treasury Regulations. These regulations interpret section 269 of the Internal
Revenue Code which permits the Internal Revenue Service to deny corporations
the ability to use tax benefits, such as net operating losses, where control of
the corporation was acquired for the principal purpose of avoiding tax. The
regulations provide that if a corporation in a bankruptcy reorganization
qualifies for an exemption from the general rule limiting the use of net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") but does not carry on a significant
amount of an active trade or business during and subsequent to such bankruptcy
reorganization, the Internal Revenue Service will presume, absent a showing of
strong evidence to the contrary, that the principal purpose of the
reorganization was to evade or avoid Federal income tax and that section 269
should apply. The regulations

                                     -12-




are only effective, by their terms, with respect to acquisitions of control of
corporations occurring after August 14, 1990; accordingly they do not apply to
Ranger.

          As a practical matter, the fact that the regulations will not apply
the presumption to Ranger may be only of limited benefit. The issue of
temporarily inactive reorganized companies with NOLs that survive bankruptcy
intact has now been firmly raised in the eyes of the IRS field auditors. There
is, therefore, a risk that they will be more likely to find and challenge the

NOLs of such companies even without the ability to utilize the presumption
contained in the new regulations. Any such challenge, if successful, would have
a material detrimental effect on Ranger.
