                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1      SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated
basis.  They include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
inactive subsidiary, Revenue Process Development, Inc.  All intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying, unaudited, consolidated,
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows for the interim
periods presented.  Such financial statements have been condensed in accordance
with the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
therefore, do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended March 31,
1996.


Loss Per Share of Common Stock

Supplementary pro forma loss per share gives effect to the conversions of debt  
to equity and preferred stock into common stock and excludes 410,000 shares held
in escrow.


NOTE 2    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 14, 1996 the Company completed an initial public offering of
1,700,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock, one Class
A Warrant and one Class B Warrant. On November 4, 1996, the underwriter
exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 255,000 units. The
initial public offering resulted in total net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $8,000,000.

A portion of the proceeds of this offering were used to repay (i) the principal
balance of and accrued interest on certain notes  (the "Bridge Notes") issued in
connection with a private placement in April and May 1996 in the aggregate
amount of approximately $2,100,000 and (ii) the $150,000 cumulative dividends on
the Series A Preferred Stock.  The 250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock   
were converted to 184,486 shares of Common Stock on the closing of the offering.
In the quarter ending December 31, 1996, the Company will incur a charge to

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company is a development stage company organized to develop, design, and
market value-added packaging and specialty display products.  Since its
inception, the Company's efforts have been principally devoted to research,
development and design of products, marketing activities and raising capital. 
The Company has had only limited sales, has generated minimal revenues from
operations and has incurred substantial operating losses from these activities. 

Most of the Company's sales to date did not involve significant orders and the
Company believes that these customers were primarily evaluating the commercial
potential of the Company's products.  The Company also incurred significant
costs associated with such sales in part because a large percentage of finished
product was distributed free of charge as samples.  The Company's sales efforts
have also been adversely affected by periods with no operations, a lack of
continuity of management and inadequate capital. 


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   
    Three Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1996.  Net sales decreased from 
approximately $62,000 to zero during the three months ended September 30, 1995
("1995 Three Months") and September 30, 1996 ("1996 Three Months"),
respectively.  The Company did not have any sales during the 1996 Three Months
primarily as a result of limited staffing and working capital to purchase
supplies, as well as a focus by management on preparing for the Company's
initial public offering which was consummated in October 1996 (See Notes to     
Consolidated Financial Statements).  Gross loss, which includes the costs of
items manufactured as well as the cost of samples,  was approximately $17,000 in
the 1995 Three Months as compared to zero in the 1996 Three Months.  Gross loss
was primarily attributable to the amount of product given away as samples.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8% from the 1995 Three
Months to the 1996 Three Months.  

Interest expense increased by approximately 792% from approximately $26,000 for
the 1995 Three Months to approximately $231,000 for the 1996 Three Months.  The
increase is primarily attributable to interest on the $1,995,000 face value of
bridge notes payable issued in April and May 1996.

Net loss increased 74% from approximately $305,000 in the 1995 Three Months to
$529,000 in the 1996 Three Months, as a result of the foregoing factors.

    Six Months Ended September 30, 1995 and 1996.  Net sales decreased from
approximately $108,000 in the six months ended September 30, 1995 ("1995 Six
Months") to zero in the six months ended September 30, 1996 ("1996 Six  
Months").  Gross loss, which includes the costs of items manufactured as
well as the cost of samples,  was approximately $15,000 in the 1995 Six Months
as compared to zero in the 1996 Six Months.  The gross loss was primarily
attributable to the amount of product given away as samples.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 105% from     
approximately $464,000 in the 1995 Six Months to approximately $950,000 in the
1996 Six Months.  This increase was due primarily to non-recurring charges of
(i) approximately $386,000 relating to the fair market value of stock options
granted by two principal stockholders of the Company to the Company's Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer and (ii) approximately $425,000 relating
to the Bridge Debt financing including approximately $293,000 for the
amortization of the Bridge Warrants and approximately $132,000 for amortization
of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a reduction of payroll and
management for a period of time during a portion of the 1996 Three Months due to
the temporary cessation of operations. 


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has funded its activities through loans from principal stockholders 
and private placements of equity and debt securities.  As of September 30, 1996
the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,793,000.  On
October 15, 1996, the Company sold 1,700,000 units at $5 per unit in a public
offering (See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).  Each  unit consists
of one share of common stock, one Class A Warrant and one Class B Warrant.  On
November 4, 1996 the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option to purchase
an additional 255,000 units at $5 per unit. The initial public offering resulted
in total net proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,000,000.

The remaining proceeds of the offering are intended to be used by the Company to
implement its business plan, which includes the development and testing of
products utilizing the LTI Processed method and sales and marketing activities. 
The Company expects to continue to incur substantial research, development and
marketing costs in the future.  Accordingly, the Company expects to continue to
incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.  

In the event of the release of the Escrow Shares, the Company will recognize
during the period in which the earnings thresholds are probable of being met or
such stock price levels achieved, a substantial non-cash charge to earnings (not
deductible for income tax purposes) equal to the fair market value of such
shares on the date of their release, which would have the effect of 
significantly increasing the Company's loss or reducing or eliminating earnings,
if any, at such time.  There can be no assurance that the Company will attain
the targets which would enable the Escrow Shares to be released from escrow.

At September 30, 1996 the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for     
federal Income tax purposes of approximately $5,400,000.  The net operating loss
and credit carry-forwards expire from March, 2008 through March, 2011. 
Additionally, the Company's ability to utilize its net operating loss
carry-forwards may be subject to annual limitations pursuant to Section 382 of
the Internal Revenue Code as a result of this Offering.
