                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS
                             ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996
                                   (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 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.

                                   (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 January 31, 1996, and the results of operations and cash
     flows for the six month periods ended January 31, 1996 and 1995.  The
     results of operations for the periods ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 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 lease payments are $68,433 and the unearned income is
     $37,049 at January 31, 1996.  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 July 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 second quarter, 1996 were 14% higher than for the second
        quarter a year ago.  The sales increase was led by sales of transmission
        assemblies and electric fuel pumps.  Transmission unit sales were 845
        units this year compared to 585 units the second quarter last year.
        Electic fuel pump unit sales increased to 2212 units from 1212 units
        sold the second quarter last year.

        Earnings from operations were affected by inventory adjustments,
        resulting in a more favorable product mix.

        Cash and cash equivalents, inventories, accounts receivable, and
        accounts payable remained within normal business fluctuations, resulting
        in cash and cash equivalent reduction of 9.6%.

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.
