(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results in operations from
the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
Yes. Fiscal 1997 results from operation will be different from fiscal 1996
results from operations. Fiscal 1996 results of operations reflect less than
full scale operating costs, which includes administrative and marketing
expenses, and limited revenues. Fiscal 1997 results of operations reflect costs
associated with full scale operations during the entire 12 month period, and
increased revenues for the period coincident with the development of the
Company's sales channels.
