Basic earnings, per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of common stock
equivalents when dilutive.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the first quarter of the year ended January 31, 1999, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (FAS
128), which supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under FAS
128, earnings, per common share, is computed by dividing net income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock. Prior period amounts have been restated, where appropriate to conform to
the requirements of FAS 128.

NOTE 5- LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a $1,000,000 revolving credit line maturing on June 5, 2000.

to current liabilities and debt to net worth. There is no outstanding balance
under this line on January 31, 1999 and an open balance of $280,000 as of
October 31, 1999.

Corporation ("QCCC") for $550,630 including all costs of the acquisition. QCCC

up to a maximum of $800,000. If the full amount of the contingency is realized,
the liability would total $150,000 and would be recorded as additional goodwill.

months ended October 31, 1999 and for the nine months ended October 31, 1999 was

our new international division as well as increased sales commission.

who have entered under court protection.

OPERATING INCOME
