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

      The following  discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 above.

Fiscal Year 1996 vs.Fiscal Year 1995

Results of Operations

   Substantially all of the Company's revenues during the quarter were generated
by  its  subsidiary,   Opti-Wert-Interest   AG  ("OWI-AG")  through  its  retail
securities brokerage activities.

   Revenues  decreased from  $27,905,151 in the prior quarter but increased from
$11,974,528  in the third quarter of 1995, to  $20,785,667  in the third quarter
this year.  Significant growth in selling,  general and administrative  expenses
which amounted to $6,754,214  caused the Company to incur a loss for the quarter
of 3,185,725, for a net loss for the year to-date period of $2,534,873, compared
to a loss of $2,589,295 for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The Company had total  assets as of  September  30, 1996 of  $10,169,209,  of
which $7,175,295 were current assets.  Working capital at the end of the quarter
had  decreased  to  $1,668,906 , as a result of the losses  incurred  during the
quarter. To bolster its liquid resources,  the Company during the quarter sold a
total of 127,325  shares of its common stock  through  private  placements  with
European investors pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, for an aggregate $559,854.

Other Information

   During the quarter, the Company changed the name of its Swiss subsidiary from
Opti-Wert-Interest AG to Prime Core AG.

Fiscal Year 1995 vs.Fiscal Year 1994

Results of Operations

   Substantially all of the Company's revenues during the quarter were generated
by its subsidiary,  Opti-Wert-Interest  AG ("OWI-AG")  through sales commissions
derived from its retail securities brokerage activities.

   Revenues increased from $6,483,022 in the prior quarter and $3,961,483 in the
third quarter of 1994, to  $11,974,528  in the third quarter this year.  Coupled
with an  improved  gross  margin and  moderate  growth in  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses which amounted to  $3,388,198,  the Company  achieved a
significant net profit for the quarter, in the amount of $785,876 , reducing the
net loss for the year to-date to  $2,589,295,  compared to a loss of  $1,318,851
for the same period last year.  Management expects the growth trend to continue,
a result of expanded marketing efforts during the last several quarters.

   The Company had total assets as of September 30, 1995 of $6,712,662, of which
$5,828,308  were current  assets.  Working capital at the end of the quarter had
increased to $3,651,302.  With a stronger balance sheet and improved  liquidity,
the Company is now equipped to fund further expansions in its activities.
