the management of Walker International Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries, all
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected for a
fair presentation of the unaudited balance sheet as of May 31, 1997, and

(NOTE D)  -  The provision for income taxes consists solely of state and local
taxes. The provision for income taxes has been reduced by approximately
$10,500 during the six months ended May 31, 1997, and $8,800 during the six
months ended May 31, 1996, which represents the benefit of the federal net
operating loss carryforward for which a valuation reserve had been previously
provided.

WALKER INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INC.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
OPERATIONS


Financial Condition and Liquidity

     The Company's liquidity (current assets minus current liabilities)
increased by $37,306 to $397,673 at May 31, 1997, as compared to $360,367 at
November 30, 1996. Cash used by operating activities amounted to $27,407. This
resulted primarily from an increase in investment in trading securities of
$43,796 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $48,221,
offset in part by net income of $61,746. 

     The Company deems its present facilities and equipment to be adequate
for its immediate needs and it has no material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company believes its present liquidity is adequate for its
current and long-term needs. 

Results of Operations
     Total sales for the six months ended May 31, 1997 (the "Current Period") 
decreased to $796,687 as compared to sales of $863,479 in the six months ended
May 31, 1996 (the "1996 Period"), as a result of sales volume decreases in the
Department Store and Kelly Color subsidiaries. Sales for the three months
ended May 31, 1997 (the "Current Quarter") decreased to $254,892 as compared
to $284,869 in the quarter ended May 31, 1996 (the "1996 Quarter"), due to a
decrease in Kelly Color sales volume.    

     In the Current Period, cost of sales as a percentage of sales ("COS")
were 46.7%, slightly higher than the COS of 45.2% in the 1996 Period. In the
Current Quarter, COS was 68.7% as compared to 64.2% in the 1996 Quarter. This
increase was primarily due to reduced absorption of labor costs as a result of
decreased sales. Cost percentages were higher in the Current Quarter as
compared to the Current Period due to the absence of more profitable seasonal
sales in the Department Store subsidiary that occur only in the fiscal quarter
ended February 28th. This trend occurred in the prior fiscal year as well. 

     In the Current Period, selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales were 52.4% as compared to 52.5% in the 1996 Period. In the
Current Quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales were 46.7% as compared to 42.3% in the 1996 Quarter. This was due
primarily to reduced cost absorption resulting from lower sales. There was
investment income of $63,498 in the Current Period and $37,208 in the Current
Quarter, principally resulting from short-term trading activities directed by
company personnel. The Company has formed a subsidiary for the purpose of
privately offering investment management services to one or more funds
utilizing the skills and practices developed by the Company in its own
trading. 

     In the Current Period, the Company had net income before income taxes of
$72,999 as compared to $61,439 in the 1996 Period, primarily due to increases
in investment income which were offset in part by reduced profits resulting
from lower sales. In the Current Quarter, the Company incurred a net loss
before income taxes of $1,111 as compared to a loss of $733 in the 1996
Quarter.  Provision for income taxes in the Current Period consists of state
and local taxes. The provision for income taxes has been reduced by
approximately $10,500 in the Current Period and $8,800 in the 1996 Period
which represents the benefit of the federal net operating loss carryforward
for which a valuation reserve had been previously provided. In the Current
Period, earnings per share were $.22 as compared to $.19 in the 1996
comparable Period.
