Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 29, 1997 (the Agreement), the
Registrant  acquired a paint  manufacturing  business in Miami,  Florida,  Atlas
Chemical Company, a Florida corporation (ATLAS),  for approximately  $1,067,000
in cash. The acquired business was merged into a separate  surviving  subsidiary
of the Registrant.  The Registrant  intends to continue the acquired  operations
through its subsidiary.

A Form 8-K dated  August 1,  1997 has  previously  been  filed  related  to this
acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma financial  statements as of and for the six months ended
May 31, 1997 have been prepared based on historical data of the  Registrant,  as
adjusted  to reflect  the  acquisition  of ATLAS as if each such  agreement  and
merger had been effective  December 1, 1996. The pro forma income statement data
may not be  indicative  of the future  results of  operations or what the actual
results of operations  would have been had the acquisition  described above been
effective earlier.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



Board of Directors
Atlas Chemical Co.
Miami, Florida


We have audited the accompanying  balance sheet of Atlas Chemical Co. as of June
30,  1997 and the  related  statements  of  operations,  changes in  accumulated
deficit,  and cash flows for each of the two years in the period  ended June 30,
1997.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial position of Atlas Chemical Co. as of June
30, 1997,  and the results of its  operations and its cash flows for each of the
two  years in the  period  ended  June 30,  1997 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies


Business activity

Atlas Chemical Co. (the Company) was  incorporated  in 1959 to  manufacture  and
market paints and coatings.  A summary of the  significant  accounting  policies
applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market on an average cost basis.


Property and equipment

Property  and  equipment  are  recorded at cost.  Depreciation  of property  and
equipment  is provided  using  straight-line  and  accelerated  methods over the
estimated  useful lives of the assets.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs
are charged to expense as incurred.


Use of estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  at the date of the
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted  for  according to Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 109,  (SFAS 109).  The statement  requires the use of an asset and
liability approach for the recognition of income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recorded for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been recognized in the Company's  financial  statements or tax returns.  In
estimating  future tax consequences,  SFAS 109 generally  considers all expected
future events.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company  considers  all highly liquid  investments  with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

        Net operating loss                                        $ 51,249
        Valuation adjustment                                       (16,000)

Note 3 - Income tax matters - continued

The net operating loss generated through year end June 30, 1997 is $177,824. The
carryback of three years has  previously  been used to offset  federal and state
taxable income for those years. The carryforward is available for a period of 15
years.  Realization  of the  noncurrent  deferred  tax asset is  dependent  upon
sufficient  future  taxable  income  during the period  that  carryforwards  are
expected to be available to reduce taxable income.

There was no provision  for income tax  (reduction)  for the NOL's  generated in
1995 and 1994 and carried forward to June 30, 1996. This amounted to $77,868 and
was reduced by a valuation  amount equal to the NOL. This valuation was recorded
because the Company has no assurance  that the NOL will be used to reduce income
in future years.

Note 4 - Note Payable

Note  payable  consisted  of  borrowings  against  the cash  surrender  value of
officers  life  insurance.  Due to the  sale of the  company,  this  policy  was
cancelled in July, and the proceeds were used to repay the note.


Note 5 - Long term debt

Long term debt consists of the following:

         Note due in 60 monthly installments of $300,
         plus interest at 9.5%, beginning September 1994,
         collateralized by a vehicle                                $  8,400

         Note due in 36 monthly installments of  $597,
         including interest at 9.5%, beginning July 1995,
         collateralized by a vehicle                                   7,350
                                                                    --------
