AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002 (Unaudited) 1. The information furnished reflects all adjustments of a recurring nature which management believes are necessary to a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on October 14, 2003 for the year ended June 30, 2003. Revenue recognition- the Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the amount is fixed or determinable and collectibility is probable. All of these conditions are typically met at the time the Company ships products to its customers. 2. Due to the seasonal fluctuations of the golf club shaft manufacturing operations, the financial results for the interim periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, are not necessarily indicative of operations for the entire year. 3. Investments: Investments consist of the following: December 31, June 30, 2003 2003 ----------- ----------- UCV, L.P. ......................................$ 4,565,233 $ 5,277,007 Vail Ranch Limited Partnership ................. 8,827 67,000 ----------- ----------- Total ....................................$ 4,574,060 $ 5,344,007 =========== =========== The following is a summary of the equity in income of the investments accounted for by the equity method: Six Months Three Months ------------------ ------------------ 2003 2002 2003 2002 -------- -------- -------- -------- UCV, L.P. ....... $ 94,226 $ 67,201 $ 67,438 $ 27,007 ======== ======== ======== ======== The following is a summary of distributions received from investees: 2003 2002 -------- -------- UCV, L.P. .................... $806,000 $417,100 Vail Ranch Limited Partnership 58,173 -- -------- -------- $864,173 $417,100 ======== ======== As discussed in footnote 5(c) to the Company's June 30, 2003 annual report on Form 10-K, effective April 1, 2003, the Company began recording its equity in the income of UCV, L.P. (UCV) on a current basis rather than on a 91 day delayed basis. The Company has treated this as a change in accounting principle and accordingly has classified its $37,675 of equity in earnings of UCV for the period of April 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in 2003. Therefore, the equity in income of UCV for the period July 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 was $94,226 (see footnote 15 to the Company's June 30, 2003 annual report on Form 10-K). 6 In November 2003 the Company received $60,532 related to amounts due on the the sale of the Company's investment in All Seasons Inns in a prior year. The Company had recorded a valuation allowance for the entire amount due at the time of sale. As a result, the amount received was classified as gain from sale. 4. Contingencies: A lawsuit was filed on January 10, 2003 in the United States District Court in the Southern District of California by Masterson Marketing, Inc. (Masterson) against Penley Sports, LLC. Masterson's lawsuit originally asserted claims for copyright infringement, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and sought compensatory damages, punitive damages, statutory damages, and attorney fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims. In response to that motion, Masterson dropped all claims except for the claims of copyright infringement and breach of contract. Masterson also dropped all prayers for punitive damages, statutory damages, and attorney fees. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this litigation. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims. 5. Business segment information: The Company operates principally in two business segments: commercial real estate rental and golf club shaft manufacturing. Other revenues, which are not part of an identified segment, consist of property management and development fees (earned from both a property 50 percent owned by the Company and a property in which the Company has no ownership) and commercial brokerage. 7 The following is summarized information about the Company's operations by business segment.

Liquidity The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses, has negative working capital and is forecasting negative cash flows for the next twelve months. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on obtaining additional investors in its subsidiary, Penley Sports, or increases in the sales volume of Penley Sports. The consolidated financial statements do not contain adjustments, if any, including diminished recovery of asset carrying amounts, that could arise from forced dispositions and other insolvency costs. 7. Discontinued Operations: During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company ceased operations in two business segments. The following is a summary of the loss from the discontinued business segments for the periods ended December 31: Three Months Six Months ---------------------- ---------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 --------- ----------- --------- ----------- Bowling .................$ -- $ (33,747) $ -- $ (108,269) Real estate development . -- (9,000) -- -- --------- ----------- --------- ----------- $ -- $ (42,747) $ -- $ (108,269) ========= =========== ========= =========== 8. Note receivable from shareholder: In December 1990 the Company loaned $1,061,009 to the Company's majority shareholder, Andrew Bradley, Inc. (ABI), which is 88% owned by Harold S. Elkan, the Company's President. The loan provided funds to ABI to pay its obligation related to its purchase of the Company's stock in November 1983. The loan to ABI provides for interest to accrue at an annual rate of prime plus 1-1/2 percentage points (5.50 percent at December 31, 2003) and to be added to the principal balance annually. The loan was due November 7, 2003. The loan is collateralized by 21,808,267 shares of the Company's stock owned by ABI. The original loan amount plus accrued interest of $1,230,483 is presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity because ABI's only asset is the stock of the Company. On November 7, 2003, the Company presented demand to ABI for payment of $3,351,724, which represents the original principal balance plus accrued interest, of which $1,060,232 has not been accrued by the Company. The note provides for a 5 day grace period and negotiations are underway between the Company and ABI with respect to disposition of the note. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL ---------------------------------------------------------- CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: ----------------------------------- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- The independent auditors' report dated September 5, 2003 included in our June 30, 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K contained the following explanatory paragraph: The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses, and is forecasting negative cash flows from operating activities for the next twelve months. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 13. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Management estimates positive cash flow of $100,000 to $200,000 in total for the remaining two quarters of the year ending June 30, 2004 from operating activities after deducting capital expenditures and principal payments on notes payable and adding estimated distributions from UCV and VRLP. However, Management estimates that it will have a tax liability of approximately $1,026,000 due in September 2004 as a result of reporting the taxable portion of the sale of the apartment project owned by UCV, LP. Management is currently uncertain of where the Company will obtain the funds to pay these tax liabilities. The Company estimates it will receive approximately $700,000 of distributions from UCV in the third quarter of which $129,000 was received in January and February 2004. The $700,000 of distributions from UCV represents the remainder of funds to be distributed by UCV to the Company from the sales proceeds of UCV's apartment project. In February 2003 Vail Ranch Limited Partners (VRLP) sold its membership interest in Temecula Creek LLC to its other partner in Temecula Creek LLC. VRLP was entitled to receive one-half of the sales proceeds from the sale of a remaining parcel of undeveloped land as well as the release of $100,000 that was held back from the sales proceeds in February 2003. In December 2003 VRLP received $121,955 as its share of the proceeds from the sale of the undeveloped land. In January 2004, VRLP received $99,959 as the balance of the hold back. The Company received distributions from VRLP related to these transactions of $58,173 in December 2003 and $59,975 in January 2004. As part of the Company's obligation to pay approximately one-half of these proceeds to its minority partner, payments of $29,000 each were made to the minority partner in December 2003 and January 2004. The liability to the minority interest stated in the balance sheet is $402,839 but is likley to be settled for a lesser amount based on the distributions received from VRLP. In December 1990 the Company loaned $1,061,009 to the Company's majority shareholder, Andrew Bradley, Inc. (ABI), which is 88% owned by Harold S. Elkan, the Company's President. The loan provided funds to ABI to pay its obligation related to its purchase of the Company's stock in November 1983. The loan to ABI provides for interest to accrue at an annual rate of prime plus 1-1/2 percentage points (5.50 percent at December 31, 2003) and to be added to the principal balance annually. The loan was due November 7, 2003. The loan is collateralized by 21,808,267 shares of the Company's stock owned by ABI. The original loan amount plus accrued interest of $1,230,483 is presented as a reduction of shareholders' equity because ABI's only asset is the stock of the Company. On November 7, 2003, the Company presented demand to ABI for payment of $3,351,724, which represents the original principal balance plus accrued interest, of which $1,060,232 has not been accrued by the Company. The note provides for a 5 day grace period and negotiations are underway between the Company and ABI with respect to disposition of the note. 10 Management expects continuing cash flow deficits until Penley Sports develops sufficient sales volume to become profitable. Although, there can be no assurances that Penley Sports will ever achieve profitable operations, management estimates that a combination of continued increases in the sales of Penley Sports and reduction of its operating costs will result in Penley Sports and the Company achieving a breakeven level of operations at the end of the next two quarters. Management is currently evaluating other sources of working capital including the sale of assets or obtaining additional investors in Penley Sports. Management has not assessed the likelihood of the Company receiving any other sources of long-term or short-term liquidity. If the Company is not successful in obtaining other sources of working capital this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. However, management believes it will be able to meet its financial obligations for the next twelve months. The Company has working capital deficit of $565,556 at December 31, 2003, which is a $1,627,109 decrease from the working capital of $1,061,553 at June 30, 2003. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to the reclassification of $1,026,000 from a non-current deferred tax liability to a current deferred tax liability and cash used by operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The cash used by operating activities was partially offset by distributions received from the Company's investees. The following is a schedule of the cash provided (used) before changes in assets and liabilities, segregated by business segments: 2003 2002 Change ---------- ---------- ---------- Rental .................... $ 4,000 3,000 1,000 Golf ......................

Any event or circumstance that indicates to the Company an impairment of the fair value of any asset is recorded in the period in which such event or circumstance becomes known to the Company. During the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2003 no such event or circumstance occurred that would, in the opinion of management, signify the need for a material reduction in the carrying value of any of the Company's assets. 11 NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ----------------------------- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 149 Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, or SFAS No. 149, amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. In particular, SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract within an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity, or SFAS No. 150, establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. At the October 29, 2003 FASB Board meeting, the Board decided to indefinitely defer the effective date of SFAS No. 150 related to the classification and measurement requirements for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments that become subject to SFAS No. 150 solely as a result of consolidation, such as the minority interest in the accompanying financial statements. In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and accordingly should consolidate the entity. FIN 46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003. The Company will be required to apply FIN 46R to variable interests in VIEs created after December 31, 2003. For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, the Interpretation will be applied beginning on January 1, 2005. For any VIEs that must be consolidated under FIN 46R that were created before January 1, 2004, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests of the VIE initially would be measured at their carrying amounts with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change. If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN 46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE. The Company currently does not have any VIEs in which it has variable interests.

(UCV) and the sublease of a portion of the Penley factory. The operations of UCV consisted of the operation of a 542 unit apartment project until UCV sold the property on April 1, 2003. UCV acquired replacement properties on August 28, 2003, September 25, 2003 and September 26, 2003. The operations of UCV for the three and six months ended December 31, 2003 included the operations of these properties since their acquisition. 13 GOLF OPERATIONS: ---------------- Golf revenues declined in the three and six month periods primarily due to declines in sales to golf club manufacturers. In one circumstance there was an order shipped in July 2002 for which there was no comparable sales activity in 2003. There were also two manufacturers that were no longer in business in 2003. The following is a breakdown of the percentage of sales by customer category: Six Months Three Months ---------- ------------ 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---- ---- ---- ---- Golf equipment distributors . 53% 34% 54% 34% Small golf club manufacturers 17% 30% 19% 32% Golf shops .................. 26% 29% 22% 30% Other ....................... 4% 7% 5% 4% Operating expenses of the golf segment consisted of the following in 2003 and 2002: Six Months Three Months --------------------- -------------------- 2003 2002 2003 2002 ---------- ---------- --------- --------- Costs of goods sold and manufacturing overhead $1,100,000 $1,048,000 $ 519,000 $ 450,000 Research & development 157,000 97,000 105,000 49,000 ---------- ---------- --------- --------- Total golf costs 1,257,000 1,145,000 624,000 499,000 ========== ========== ========= ========= Marketing & promotion 447,000 442,000 204,000 264,000 Administrative-direct 129,000 135,000 54,000 56,000 ---------- ---------- --------- --------- Total SG&A-direct 576,000 577,000 258,000 320,000 ========== ========== ========= ========= Allocated corporate costs 301,000 124,000 154,000 62,000 ========== ========== ========= ========= Total golf costs increased in the three and six month periods due to increases in costs to correct manufacturing problems caused by changes in the specifications of materials purchased from one of its "prepreg" vendors. Marketing and promotion expenses decreased in the three month period due to a decrease in player sponsorship costs. This decrease was offset in the six month period by an increase in advertising costs in the first quarter. OTHER ----- Other revenues-related party decreased due to UCV's sale of its apartment project on April 1, 2003. The Company had received management fees and development fees from UCV totaling $48,000 and $97,000 during the three month and six month periods ended December 31, 2002, respectively. In the same periods in 2003, the Company only recieved management fees from the replacement properties totalling $15,000 and $18,000 respectively. Other revenues, which primarily consisted of management fees earned from a third party, decreased $102,000 and $113,000 in the three and six month periods, respectivley, due to the sale of the property being managed in October 2002. Unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $40,000 and $109,000 in the three and six month periods, respectively, primarily due to increases in audit fees and legal expenses. The amount of corporate expenses allocated to the Golf segment primarily increased due to an increase in the percentage of expenses allocable to golf. This is the result of the discontinuance of the bowling segment in May 2003 and the reduction in property management services performed for UCV and others during the three months ended September 30, 2003. 14 Interest expense decreased primarily due to repayment of the short term debt in April 2003. The increase in gain on sale primarily relates to the $60,532 received in November 2003 related to amounts due on the the sale of the Company's investment in All Seasons Inns in a prior year. The Company had recorded a valuation allowance for the amount due at the time of sale. Discontinued Operations: ------------------------ As discussed in Footnote 7 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, the Company has classified its operations in the bowling and real estate development segments as discontinued operations. ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company is exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. However, the Company does not consider this interest rate market risk exposure to be material to its financial condition or results of operations. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative or trading purposes. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ------------------------------- An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of December 31, 2003. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. 15 PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings As of December 31, 2003, there were no changes in legal proceedings from those set forth in Item 3 of the Form 10-K filed for the year ended June 30, 2003, except the following: A lawsuit was filed on January 10, 2003 in the United States District Court in the Southern District of California by Masterson Marketing, Inc. (Masterson) against Penley Sports, LLC. Masterson's lawsuit originally asserted claims for copyright infringement, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and sought compensatory damages, punitive damages, statutory damages, and attorney fees. The Company filed a motion to dismiss all claims. In response to that motion, Masterson dropped all claims except for the claims of copyright infringement and breach of contract. Masterson also dropped all prayers for punitive damages, statutory damages, and attorney fees. It is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this litigation. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims. ITEM 2. Changes in Securities NONE ITEM 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities N/A ITEM 4.
