NOTE 5 - CESSATION OF RECEIVERSHIP

On August 13, 1996, all bank debt owed by the Company was repaid.  On August 22,
1996, the Receivership Estate was terminated by order of the Superior Court of
the State of California and control of the Company was returned to the Board of
Directors and Management.

Additionally, the Company entered a new banking relationship.  The Company
obtained a $750,000 revolving credit line.  This credit line bears interest at
the rate of prime plus 1.5%, per annum,  and is secured, primarily, by the
Company's accounts receivable and inventories.  The Company also obtained a
$300,000, non-revolving, equipment acquisition credit line, which bears interest
at the rate of prime plus 1.75%, per annum, and is secured by all of the
Company's assets.  Both of these loans are cross-collateralized.  The terms of
these loan agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, including
maintenance of minimum working capital, net worth, and ratios of current assets
to current liabilities and debt to net worth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At April 30, 1997, the Company had cash available of $180,008, compared to
$164,415 on January 31, 1997, was free of bank debt and it had a current ratio
of 5.00 to 1 at April 30, 1997, compared to 5.16 to 1 on January 31, 1997.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Operations provided $97,533 of cash flow in three months ended April 30, 1997
versus $334,357 in the three months ended April 30, 1996.  The lower cash flow
from operations results from the increase in accounts receivable reflecting
higher sales in the current quarter than the previous year's quarter. 

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The Company invested $93,905 in new capital equipment in the current quarter
predominantly for equipment for a new type of airbag filter.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

The Company has unused revolving credit line of $750,000 which bears interest at
the rate of prime plus 1.5% per annum, secured by the Company's accounts
receivable and inventory. The Company also has a non-revolving equipment
acquisition loan of $300,000 which bears interest at prime rate plus 1.75% per
annum.  The Company is in compliance with all covenants under its loan agreement
with the Bank.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1997

REVENUES

Sales were $2,349,632 in 1997, compared to $2,166,708 in 1996, representing an
increase of $182,924 or 8.7%, due primarily to increased shipments of high
performance filters. 

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26% in April 1997, compared to 33% in
April 1996, representing a decrease of 7% due to increased cost of materials and
labor in producing airbag filters and charges of increased R & D on a new type
of airbag filters. 

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income was $199,847 in April 1997 compared to $320,787 in April 1996,
a decrease of $120,727 due to the lower margins on airbag filters and the impact
of the cost of new product development.

INTEREST CHARGES

Interest on bank loans were $36,102 in 1996 and completely eliminated in 1997.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

1.    Reliable Metallurgical Processes Inc. commenced an action against Puroflow
      Corporation and Michigan Dynamics Inc. in September, 1995 in Los Angeles
      County Superior Court for breach of contract, open account, and
      anticipatory breach.  This action is being vigorously opposed and the
      Registrant has filed a cross-complaint alleging for failure to properly
      perform the alleged Contract, ultra vires acts in consummation of original
      Agreement, and breach of fiduciary obligation by a former Director and
      Officer of Registrant who were also Officers and Directors of the
      Plaintiff.

2.    Jerome Pearlman d.b.a. J&F Enterprises, a former Director of the
      Registrant, commenced an action in the Los Angeles County Supreme Court,
      for breach of an alleged promissory note.  The Registrant will vigorously
      defend by filing a cross-complaint against Plaintiff for breach of
      fiduciary duty and constructive trust, seeking a return of all funds paid
      to Plaintiff plus interest.

3.    J&F Management, Inc., controlled by Jerome Pearlman, a former Director 
      of the Registrant, commenced an action in Municipal Court of Santa 
      Monica Judicial District against the Registrant, and the Court 
      appointed Receiver for possession and conversion of personal property.  
      Defendants have vigorously defended the action by filing a motion to 
      disqualify Plaintiff's Counsel, a demurrer to the complaint, and a 
      cross-complaint seeking recision of the contract and restitution to 
      Defendant of all funds paid to the Plaintiff pursuant to contract for a 
      breach of Pearlman's fiduciary duties to the Registrant.

4.    The confession of judgment obtained by Memtec America Corporation 
      against the Registrant on December 19, 1995, previously reported on 
      Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996, was vacated by 
      order of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County on June 24, 1996.  The 
      Registrant filed an amended counter-claim and third party complaint on 
      August 12, 1996 against Memtec and four former employees of the 
      Registrant now employed by Memtec. The counter-claim contains many 
      allegations against Memtec and the four former employees and seeks 
      substantial compensatory and punitive damages against Memtec and 
      against Joseph B. Jasso and Michael V. Perry, former Puroflow President 
      & CEO and Plant Manager, respectively.

The Company is not a party to any other material pending suits of legal actions,
and is not aware of any material claims that are threatened.
