BASIS OF The accompanying unaudited financial statements PRESENTATION have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and instructions to Form 10-QSB and of Regulation S-B (including Item 310(b) thereof). These statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for 1996 included in the Company's Form 10-KSB Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) for a fair presentation have been made to the accompanying financial statements for the interim periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1997. See accompanying independent accountants' compilation report. 6 8 ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Company's management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company, having sold its operating assets in 1989, had no operations for the quarter ending September 30, 1997. Although the Company is spending only minimum amounts to keep current with required Exchange Act filings and stock transfers, declining interest rates continue to erode the Company's principal asset, cash and cash equivalents. Management is continuing to search for a suitable merger partner that can utilize our public vehicle. There is no assurance that a suitable partner will be found in the near future, although management continues to review business plans of companies seeking such a combination. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES All assets are cash or cash equivalents. The Company's working capital and cash position at September 30, 1997 is approximately $199,000. Because the regulatory and accounting expenses for maintaining the corporate structure exceeds the low interest yield on the Company's cash deposits, liquidity can be expected to diminish. 7 9 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
