              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE A:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Magnum Resources, Inc. (`the Company') and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
These statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company, and notes
thereto, for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997. The following information
reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim period
results. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results which may be expected for the year as a whole.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and related revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from estimates
used by management.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which is effective for
financial statements issued after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new
standard is not permitted. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted
earnings per share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per
share together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. The
Company has not yet determined what impact this statement will have on the
Company's financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997 presentation.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 4. - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

None.

ITEM 5 - OTHER MATTERS

During the quarter ended October 31, 1997, the Company utilized its line of
credit extensively to finance its growth. The line of credit bears interest at
Norwest Bank's prime rate + 6 1/2%. In addition to the interest cost with the
line of credit, many of the Company's dealers purchased equipment utilizing
company supported finance options (floorplans). The combined interest cost
associated with the borrowings under the line of credit and the dealer
participation in the floorplan financing, caused interest expense to increase
from $20,000 in the first quarter of 1996 to $96,000 in the first quarter of
1997. The Company expects interest expense to remain high in periods of revenue
growth.

In November 1997, the Company established a series of credit facilities for each
of its principal operating subsidiaries. Each line of credit is separately
maintained and is subject to separate security agreements covering most of the
assets of each corporation. The aggregate amount available under these lines is
$1,800,000.
