                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     SEGMENT INFORMATION - The Company is engaged in the business of
     remanufacturing and selling on a wholesale basis remanufactured
     engines and other remanufactured automobile parts for Ford,
     Lincoln and Mercury automobiles and trucks.  The Company is a
     franchised remanufacturer for Ford Motor Company with a defined
     sales territory.  The Company purchases the majority of its new
     raw materials from Ford Motor Company.  Remanufactured engines
     for Non-ford vehicles are also marketed on a limited basis.
     The principal markets for the Company's products are automotive
     dealers and jobber supply houses.  The Company has no separate
     segments, major customers, foreign operations or export sales.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last-
     in first-out (LIFO) method) or market.

     INVESTMENTS - Short-term investments are considered as either
     trading securities or available for sale securities and,
     accordingly, are carried at fair value in the Company's financial
     statements.

     DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS - Property is depreciated
     generally as follows:

     Assets               Depreciation Method               Lives
     ------               -------------------               -----

     Buildings            Straight-line and
                          declining balance             10 - 20 years

     Machinery and
     equipment            Declining-balance              7 - 10 years

     Furniture and
     fixtures             Declining-balance               5 - 7 years

     Trucks and
     automobiles          Declining-balance               3 - 5 years

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
     Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over
     their estimated useful service lives.  The applicable property
     accounts are relieved of the cost and related accumulated
     depreciation upon disposition.  Gains or losses are recognized
     at the time of disposal.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales and related cost of sales are
     recognized primarily upon shipment of products.

     CASH EQUIVALENTS - For the purposes of the Statements of Cash
     Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments
     purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
     equivalents.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                                   (UNAUDITED)



     EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earning per share have been computed on the
     weighted average number of shares outstanding (816,000 shares).

     COMPANY REPRESENTATION - In the opinion of the Company, the
     accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
     adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals)
     necessary to present fairly the financial position as of October
     31, 1995, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
     three month periods ended October 31, 1995 and 1994.  The results
     of operations for the periods ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
     full year.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  The Company
     suggests that these condensed financial statements be read in
     conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in
     the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995.

2.   CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     INVESTMENTS - During the year ended July 31, 1995 the Company
     adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
     Debt and Equity Securities.  The adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no
     effect on the 1995 financial statements.

3.   LEASE RECEIVABLE

     On May 26, 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement with
     another manufacturer to lease equipment at 8% interest for a
     sixty-month period.  The total minimum payments are $75,276
     and the unearned income is $41,405 at October 31, 1995.  These
     amounts are shown on a net basis for financial statement purposes.

4.   EPA PROJECT COSTS

     In February, 1991, the Company was served with a complaint from
     the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which
     contained eight counts of alleged violations of the Resource
     Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and the Hazardous Solid
     Waste Amendments of 1984.  The complaint alleges, among other
     things, that the Company has failed to adequately test and
     properly transport certain residue of hazardous wastes which it
     was treating at its facility.  The Company entered into a Consent
     Agreement and Consent Order with the EPA, dated May 6, 1994, which
     provides for settlement of this complaint.

     This settlement calls for payment of a civil penalty of $32,955,
     and for the completion of certain remedial projects, estimated to
     cost approximately $149,725.  Total costs paid as of October 31,
     1995 are $90,113.  The remaining amount of $59,612 has been
     recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

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

         Sales for the first quarter, 1996 were 21% higher than for the
         first quarter a year ago.  The sales increase was led by
         transmission assembly sales increase of $506,000.  Other
         product lines with significant sales increases were electric
         fuel pumps, air conditioner compressors, and air conditioner
         compressor clutches.

         Earnings from operations increased due to increased sales
         volume.

         The higher cash balance for October 31, 1995, compared to July
         31, 1995, is because first quarter, 1996 estimated income
         taxes are due November 15, 1995.  Fourth quarter 1995 taxes
         were paid before quarter end.

PART II

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

         With respect to the Supplemental Environmental Project
         (the "SEP") being performed by the Company pursuant to the
         May 6, 1994 Consent Agreement with the United States
         Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the Company has
         paid total costs of $90,113 for work performed.  No further
         direction has been received from the EPA regarding any testing
         or clean-up that may be required for contamination found in
         the large pit after the sludge was removed.  No estimate of
         these costs can be made at this time.  If the EPA determines
         that no further work is required under the SEP, the Company
         will owe a deferred penalty of approximately $32,955 under the
         terms of the Consent Agreement with the EPA.

         Please refer to the Part I, Item 3 of the Form 10-KSB report
         for the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 for further
         discussion of this matter.
