       1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

           a)   Basis of Presentation

                    These consolidated financial statements include the accounts
               of Rosedale  Decorative  Products  Ltd.  ("the  company") and its
               wholly owned  subsidiaries,  521305  Ontario Inc.  ("521305") and
               1010037  Ontario Inc.  ("1010037"),  the parent  companies of the
               operating   subsidiaries  Ontario  Paint  and  Wallpaper  Limited
               ("Ontario")   and   Rosedale   Wallcoverings   and  Fabrics  Inc.
               ("Rosedale").

                    On June 15,  1998,  the company  acquired all the issued and
               outstanding  common  shares  of 521305  and  1010037  from  their
               shareholders  in exchange  for  1,500,000  shares of the company.
               Since  these  companies  were under  common  control by a related
               group,  this  transaction  has been recorded using the pooling of
               interest  method whereby the assets,  liabilities  and operations
               have been  consolidated  as if the  Company  had owned the wholly
               owned   subsidiaries   since   incorporation.   The  company  was
               incorporated on May 14, 1997 by its  shareholders for the purpose
               of consolidating  their 100% ownership  interests in anticipation
               of an initial public offering.

                    All material  inter-company  accounts and transactions  have
               been eliminated. (see note 14)

           b)   Principal Activities

                    The  company.  which  was  incorporated  on May 14,  1997 is
               principally engaged in the designing, manufacturing and marketing
               of wallpapers and decorative  fabrics in Canada,  U.S. and Europe
               through its  operating  subsidiaries  Ontario Paint and Wallpaper
               Limited  and  Rosedale   Wallcoverings  and  Fabrics  Inc.  These
               subsidiaries were incorporated in Canada on December 31, 1971 and
               April 7, 1981 respectively.

           c)   Deferred Product costs

                    Expenditures  relating  to the  design and  distribution  of
               wallpaper and fabric sample books consisting book development and
               design costs relating to collections  that have not been launched
               are  deferred  and  amortized  over  a  three-year  period  on  a
               straight-line  basis.  Proceeds from the sale of sample books are
               offset against the book development costs when received.

           d)   Cash and Cash Equivalents (Bank Indebtedness)

                    Cash and cash equivalents (bank indebtedness)  includes cash
               on hand,  amounts  due from and to banks,  and any  other  highly
               liquid  investments  purchased with a maturity of three months or
               less. The carrying amounts approximate fair values because of the
               short maturity of those instruments.

           e)   Other Current Financial Instruments

                    The carrying  amount of the companies'  accounts  receivable
               and payable approximates fair value because of the short maturity
               of these instruments.

           f)   Long-term Financial Instruments

                    The fair value of each of the companies' long-term financial
               assets and debt instruments is based on the amount of future cash
               flows  associated  with  each  instrument   discounted  using  an
               estimate  of what  the  companies'  current  borrowing  rate  for
               similar instruments of comparable maturity would be.

           g)   Inventory

                    Inventory  is valued  at the  lower of cost and fair  market
               value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

           h)   Property, Plant and equipment

                    Property,  plant and  equipment are recorded at cost and are
               amortized  on the basis of their  estimated  useful  lives at the
               undernoted rates and methods:

                Computer equipment                            30% and 20%                   Declining balance

</TABLE>
                    Amortization for assets acquired during the year is recorded
               at one-half of the indicated rates,  which  approximate when they
               were put into use.

           i)   Income taxes

                    The company  accounts for income tax under the provisions of
               Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  109,  which
               requires  recognition of deferred tax assets and  liabilities for
               the  expected  future tax  consequences  of events that have been
               included in the  financial  statements  or tax returns.  Deferred
               income taxes are provided using the liability  method.  Under the
               liability  method,  deferred  income taxes are recognized for all
               significant  temporary  differences between the tax and financial
               statement bases of assets and liabilities.

       1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (cont'd)

           j)   Foreign Currency Translation

                    The companies  maintain  their books and records in Canadian
               dollars.  Foreign currency  transactions are translated using the
               temporal  method.  Under  this  method,  all  monetary  items are
               translated into Canadian funds at the rate of exchange prevailing
               at balance  sheet  date.  Non-monetary  items are  translated  at
               historical rates.  Income and expenses are translated at the rate
               in effect on the transaction dates.  Transaction gains and losses
               are included in the determination of earnings for the year.

                    The  translation of the financial  statements  from Canadian
               dollars ("CDN $") into United States dollars is performed for the
               convenience of the reader.  Balance sheet accounts are translated
               using closing  exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date
               and income and expense  accounts are translated  using an average
               exchange  rate  prevailing   during  each  reporting  period.  No
               representation  is made that the Canadian  dollar  amounts  could
               have been,  or could be,  converted  into United Sates dollars at
               the rates on the  respective  dates  and or at any other  certain
               rates. Adjustments resulting from the translation are included in
               the cumulative translation adjustments in stockholders' equity.

           k)   Sales

                    Sales  represent  the  invoiced  value of goods  supplied to
               customers.  Sales  are  recognized  upon  delivery  of goods  and
               passage of title to customers.

           l)   Use of Estimates

                    The preparation of financial  statements requires management
               to make estimates and  assumptions  that affect certain  reported
               amounts of assets and  liabilities  and disclosures of contingent
               assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial  statements
               and the  reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the
               reporting   period.   Actual  results  could  differ  from  those
               estimates.

           m)   Long-Lived Assets

                    On January 1, 1996, the companies  adopted the provisions of
               SFAS No. 121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
               and for  Long-Lived  Assets  to be  Disposed  Of.  SFAS  No.  121
               requires that long-lived  assets to be held and used by an entity
               be  reviewed  for  impairment   whenever  events  or  changes  in
               circumstances  indicate that the carrying  amount of an asset may
               not be  recoverable.  SFAS No.  121 is  effective  for  financial
               statements  for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1995.
               Adoption  of SFAS No. 121 did not have a  material  impact on the
               companies' result of operations.

       1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES   (cont'd)

           n)   Stock Based Compensation

                    In December 1995,  SFAS No. 123,  Accounting for Stock-Based
               Compensation,  was  issued.  It  introduced  the  use  of a  fair
               value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. It
               encourages,   but  does  not  require,   companies  to  recognize
               compensation  expense for  stock-based  compensation to employees
               based on the new fair value  accounting  rules. The Company chose
               to  continue to account for  stock-based  compensation  using the
               intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting  Principles Board
               Opinion No. 25. " Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees",  and
               related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock
               options is measured as the excess,  if any, of the quoted  market
               price of the  Company's  stock at the  measurement  date over the
               amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.

2.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

                    The company has adopted  Statement of  Financial  Accounting
               Standard No. 130 "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income as of December
               1, 1998 which requires new standards for reporting and display of
               comprehensive   income  and  its   components  in  the  financial
               statements.  However,  it does not  affect  net  income  or total
               stockholders'  equity. The components of comprehensive income are
               as follows:

       14. COMMON STOCK   (cont'd)

           c)   Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

                    On July 29, 1998,  the company  issued 165,000 common shares
               to the public.

                    The weighted  average number of shares for 1998 was based on
               the number of days the shares  were  outstanding  during the year
               under the assumption  that the share  transfer  referred to above
               occurred at the beginning of the year.

                    The weighted  average number of shares for 1999 was based on
               the shares outstanding as of January 1, 1999 as no further shares
               have been issued.

           d)  The  company  has  adopted a Stock  Option Plan (the 1998
               Plan),  pursuant  to which  750,000  shares of  Common  Stock are
               reserved for issuance.

                    The 1998 Plan is for a period of ten years.  Options  may be
               granted  to  officers,  directors,  consultants,  key  employees,
               advisors  and  similar  parties  who  provide  their  skills  and
               expertise to the Company. Options granted under the 1998 Plan may
               be  exercisable  for up to ten years,  may require  vesting,  and
               shall be at an  exercise  price all as  determined  by the board.
               Options  will be  non-transferable  except to an option  holder's
               personal  holding company or registered  retirement  savings plan
               and are  exercisable  only by the  participant  during his or her
               lifetime.

                    If a  participant  ceases  affiliation  with the  Company by
               reason of death,  permanent  disability or retirement at or after
               age 70, the option remains exercisable for three months from such
               occurrence  but not beyond the  options  expiration  date.  Other
               termination  gives the  participant  three  months  to  exercise,
               except for  termination  for cause  which  results  in  immediate
               termination of the option.

                    Options  granted under the 1998 Plan by the directors of the
               compensation committee or the board, may be exercised either with
               cash,  Common  Stock  having  a fair  market  equal  to the  cash
               exercise price, the participants  personal recourse note, or with
               an assignment to the Company of sufficient proceeds from the sale
               of the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Options with an
               authorisation  to the broker or selling  agent to pay that amount
               to the company, or any combination of the above.

                    Options  under the 1998 Plan must be issued within ten years
               from the effective date of the 1998 Plan.

                    Any  unexercised  options that expire or that terminate upon
               employees  ceasing to be employed by the company become available
               again for issuance under the 1998 Plan.

                    The 1998 Plan may be  terminated  or  amended at any time by
               the  board of  directors,  except  that the  number  of shares of
               Common Stock  reserved for issuance  upon the exercise of options
               granted  under the 1998  Plan may not be  increased  without  the
               consent of the stockholders of the Company.

                    On August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors  granted  336,500
               stock  options at the most recent  closing price of the Company's
               shares as traded on NASDAQ, specifically, U.S. $1.00 per share on

               provided that the closing bid price of the common stock if traded
               on the  NASDAQ  SmallCap  Market,  or the last sale  price of the
               common  stock,  if listed on the NASDAQ  National  Market or on a
               national exchange,  is at least 150% ($9.00 per share, subject to
               adjustment) of the exercise price of the Warrants for a period of
               10 consecutive business days ending on the third day prior to the
               date the notice of redemption is given. Holders of Warrants shall
               have  exercise  rights  until  the  close  of  the  business  day
               preceding the date fixed for redemption.

                    The exercise  price and the number of shares of common stock
               purchasable  upon the  exercise  of the  Warrants  are subject to
               adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including stock
               dividends,  stock splits,  combinations or  classification of the
               common stock.  The Warrants do not confer upon holders any voting
               or any other rights of shareholders of the company.

                    No  Warrant  will  be  exercisable  unless  at the  time  of
               exercise  the  company  has filed with the  Commission  a current
               prospectus  covering the issuance of common stock  issuable  upon
               the  exercise of the Warrant and the  issuance of shares has been
               registered   or   qualified  or  is  deemed  to  be  exempt  from
               registration  or  qualification  under the securities laws of the
               state of residence of the holder of the Warrant.  The company has
               undertaken  to  use  its  best  efforts  to  maintain  a  current
               prospectus  relating to the  issuance  of shares of common  stock
               upon the exercise of the  Warrants  until the  expiration  of the
               Warrants, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement. While it
               is the  company's  intention  to  maintain a current  prospectus,
               there is no assurance that it will be able to do so.

                temporary  differences between  amortization of property,  plant
                and equipment and amounts deducted from taxable income.

           c)   Rosedale has operating losses of approximately $534,000 which is
                expected  to he  used  to  reduce  future  taxable  income.  The
                potential   tax  benefit   relating  to  the  losses  have  been
                recognized  in the  accounts  to the  extent  that  they  reduce
                deferred taxes.  The  deductibility of these losses if available
                expires as follows:

2001           $ 130,000
2002             294,000

               December 31, 1994 in the amount of  approximately  $717,000  (see
               note 19). Should the assessments be upheld, the benefits of these

17.      UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

                    The Year 2000 Issue arises because many computerized systems
               use  two   digits   rather   than  four  to   identify   a  year.
               Date-sensitive  systems  may  recognize  the year 2000 as 1900 or
               some other date,  resulting in errors when information using year
               2000 dates is processed. In addition,  similar problems may arise
               in some  systems  which use  certain  dates in 1999 to  represent
               something  other than a date.  The effects of the year 2000 Issue
               may be experienced  before,  on or after January 1, 2000, and, if
               not addressed,  the impact on operations and financial  reporting
               may range from minor errors to significant systems failure, which
               could  affect a  company's  ability  to conduct  normal  business
               operations.  It is not possible to be certain that all aspects of
               the Year  2000  Issue  affecting  the  company,  including  those
               related to the efforts of  customers,  suppliers,  or other third
               parties, will be fully resolved.

               the opinion that the  proportion of net income based  principally
               on sales,  presented  below,  would fairly present the results of
               operations by geographic area.

       19. CONTINGENCIES

                    Rosedale  has been  re-assessed  by  Revenue  Canada and the
               Province of Ontario for fiscal years ended  December 31, 1993 and
               December 31, 1994 for additional  taxes estimated to be $717,000.
               The  company  has  objected  to these  re-assessments  and has no
               obligation to pay the portion  relating to Revenue  Canada in the
               amount of $450,000 until the objections have been  processed.  No
               provision has been made in the accounts for the additional taxes.

                    The  company  has  retained  a firm  of tax  specialists  to
               represent  them in  presenting  their case to Revenue  Canada and
               currently the Notices of Objections  are being  considered by the
               Chief of Appeals.

                    Since  the  company  considers  the   re-assessments  to  be
               incorrect,  no liability has been set up in the accounts.  Should
               all or part  of the  re-assessments  be  upheld,  the  additional
               income  taxes  would  be  taken  into  account  in  the  year  of
               occurrence.

       21. LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES

                    The  companies  are  the  beneficiaries  of  life  insurance
               policies with The  Prudential of America Life  Insurance  Company
               (Canada) ("PruCan") taken out on the lives of two of the officers
               for a total insured value of $6.6 million.  In consideration  for
               this benefit,  the companies  agreed to fund the premiums payable
               on the policies.  Funding is being  provided by advances from the
               Laurentian Bank of Canada ("Laurentian").

                    The  Laurentian  has a legal  right of  set-off  of the cash
               surrender values of the life insurance  policies against the debt
               owing to it by the companies.  Accordingly the related assets and
               liabilities have been offset in the financial statements.

                    The amounts offset were as follows:

           Cash surrender value of life insurance policies                                     $     1,817,683
           Advances                                                                            $    (1,817,683)
</TABLE>

                    The amount in excess of the cash surrender value of the life
               insurance policies is included in long-term debt (see note 11).

                    The advances from  Laurentian  are payable on demand but are
               expected  to  become  due  for  payment  in the  year  2004.  The
               companies are liable for the interest on the  advances.  Security
               is provided by first charges on the insurance  policies,  letters
               of  credit  from a major  Canadian  chartered  bank  and  general
               security  agreements  creating a second charge over all corporate
               assets.

       21. FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS

                    As at  September  30,  1999,  the  Company  had  outstanding
               foreign  exchange  contracts to sell U.S. dollars to the National
               Bank of Canada to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency.
               The purpose of the Company's foreign exchange hedging  activities
               is to protect the Company from the risk that the eventual  dollar
               net cash inflows resulting from the sale and purchase of products
               in foreign  currencies will not be adversely  affected by changes
               in exchange rates.  It is the Company's  policy to use derivative
               financial  instruments to reduce foreign risks.  Fluctuations  in
               the value of these hedging instruments are offset by fluctuations
               in the value of the  underlying  exposures  being hedged.  As the
               contracts are settled,  the related gains or losses, if any, will
               be reported in the  statements of financial  position and income.
               There is a potential risk of non-performance by the National Bank
               of Canada,  the  financial  institution  that the Company has the
               Foreign  Forward  Exchange  Contracts  with.  However,  given the
               National Bank's prominence and financial  condition,  the Company
               believes  that this risk is  insignificant.  The  Company  had no
               contracts  outstanding with maturities  beyond one year. The cash
               requirements arise as the contracts are exercised to the value of
               $10,085,000  (in varying  amounts  from October 1999 through June
               2000).  The  following  table  presents  the  aggregate  notional
               principal  amounts,  carrying  values  and  fair  values  of  the
               Company's foreign exchange contracts  outstanding as of September
               30, 1999. Deferred gains and losses on forward exchange contracts
               are  recognized in earnings  when the future  purchases and sales
               being hedged are  recognized.  The Company does not hold or issue
               financial  instruments for trading  purposes.  The estimated fair
               values of the derivatives  used to hedge the Company's risks will
               fluctuate over time.

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

                     MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATION

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998.

     Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were  $4,784,911,  a
2% decrease over prior year revenues of  $4,877,612.  The  substantial  increase
(93%) in sales to the Canadian  market was mostly  offset by the 20% decrease in
sales to the United States market.

     Gross  profit for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 was 40.2% of
sales, an increase as compared to the same period one-year ago, which was 37.9%.
This  increase in gross profit margin can be attributed to a change in sales mix
due to an increase in sales to the Canadian market and the weakening of Sales to
the Export Market.

     Selling  expenses  increased by 5.4% to $589,497 for the three month period
ended  September  30, 1999 as compared  to $559,040  for the three month  period
ended September 30, 1998.  Travel expense  increased as our sales force attended
different customer shows to generate additional business,  which should increase
sales for the  remainder  of the year.  Also,  Bin  Expenses  have  increased as
compared to last year as we are aggressively  pursuing new business from dealers
who stock wallpaper.

     General and administrative  expenses for the Company decreased by 11.7%, to
$557,931 for the three months period ended  September 30, 1999 from $631,846 for
the three months ended September 30, 1998.  This savings is mostly  attributable
to the extraordinary expenses incurred by the Company during this period in 1998
due to its public offering.

    Book  development  cost for the three-month  period ended September 30, 1999
was $12,371  compared to $84,729  for the same period last year.  This  decrease
relates to a conscious effort to reduce the cost of sample book production.

     Design  studio  expenses for the Company were $198,958 for the three months
ended  September  30, 1999 versus  $71,096 for the same period last year.  As we
intend  to  increase  the  number of lines to be  launched,  design  costs  will
increase for a short period before stabilizing.

     Operating income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $377,424
compared to $ 353,111 for the three months  ended  September  30,  1998.  Income
increased  with better  margins  being  recorded,  which was offset by increased
expenses.


<PAGE>
     Interest  expense for the Company for the three months ended  September 30,
1999 was  $56,835  compared  to income of  $22,442  for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1998. This change in interest is attributable to higher borrowings
to accommodate the extra lines being launched.

     The Company  showed a Net Profit for the three months ended  September  30,
1999 of $228,840 as compared to $229,963 for the same period ended September 30,
1998.

     Earnings  per share for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1999 were
$0.08,  which  is the  same as last  year,  using  the  total  shares  presently
outstanding of 2,765,000.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1998.

     Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $14,302,928,  an
8.5% decrease over prior year revenues of $15,629,077.  This decrease was due to
the general  weakening in the market,  especially in the U.S. and  overseas,  as
observed by the continued  restructuring  of many companies within the wallpaper
industry. We have also experienced a dramatic decrease in Royalties on the sales
of our product in other parts of the world.

     Gross  profit for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1999 was 38.2% of
sales, a decrease as compared to the same period  one-year ago, which was 40.3%.
This  decrease in gross profit margin can be attributed to a change in sales mix
due to an increase in  clearance  sales and the  weakening  of the U.S.  dollar.
Fifty  percent  (50%) of the Company's  sales are made in U.S.  dollars.  As the
majority of our purchases are made in Canadian  dollars,  a stronger U.S. dollar
will help our gross margin,  whereas a strong U.S.  dollar has a negative impact
on the  conversion of the  financial  statements.  We are also  beginning to use
other manufacturing  facilities in Canada, which would also reduce our costs and
have a positive impact on our margins.

     Selling  expenses for the company  increased by 13.5% to $1,818,841 for the
nine month period ended  September  30, 1999 as compared to  $1,602,015  for the
nine month period ended  September 30, 1998.  This increase is  attributable  to
additional expenses incurred for public relations, which did not occur until the
second  half of  1998.  Travel  expense  has  increased  with the  objective  of
increasing  fabric  sales  in the  last  half of  1999.  Bins  Expense  has also
increased  over last year as we  continue to  increase  our market  share in the
Canadian market.

     General and  administrative  expenses for the Company increased by 0.5%, to
$1,737,437 for the nine months period ended  September 30, 1999 from  $1,728,767
for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998.  The Company is taking action to
control  expenses  wherever  possible and will continue to look for ways of cost
cutting.

     Rosedale develops  wallpaper and fabric sample books, which are created for
each collection and sold through distributors.  The majority of expenditures for
the creation of sample books are incurred in the quarter before the introduction
of a  collection.  Some of these  expenditures  are incurred as early as nine to
eight months in advance.  Revenues  generated from the sales of sample books are
netted from the costs incurred in the same period and the net amount is shown on
the income  statement.  Because  expenditures are made in the quarter before the
launch of a collection,  there is not always a matching of revenues and expenses
e.g.  costs for a January  launch would be recorded in the following  year.  The
Company  ensures  that  there are firm  orders in place  from  customers  before

significant  expenditures  are incurred to produce the sample books.  Therefore,
there is little speculative risk in their production.  Book development cost for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 was $104,820 compared to $165,991
for the same period last year.  This decrease  relates to a conscious  effort in
reducing  the cost of  sample  books.  However,  the  market  for  books is very
competitive,  and as  these  sample  books  are our  silent  salesperson,  it is
imperative that we keep our books in the marketplace and on top of the counters.

     Design studio  expenses for the Company  increased by 31.1% to $570,692 for
the nine months  ended  September  30, 1999 versus  $435,291 for the same period
last year.  Additional  expenses  were required as the intention is to launch an
additional four collections in 1999 to trigger additional sales.

     Operating  income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 decreased to
$680,035 from  $1,908,036 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1998. This is
the cumulative  effect of reduced sales and margins,  plus  additional  expenses
incurred after the public offering.

Interest  expense for the Company for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999
decreased to $147,124  from  $198,111 for the nine months  ended  September  30,
1998. This decrease in interest  expense is attributable to lower interest rates
and short term investment interest on the funds raised from the public offering.

     Net income for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999  decreased  to
$373,681 as compared to $1,026,796 for the same period ended September 30, 1998.
The  decrease  is due to the lower  sales  and  margins  in 1999 and the  higher
operating expenses.

     Earnings per share for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999 was $0.14
compared to $0.37 for the same period last year using the total shares presently
outstanding of 2,765,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  Company  had a negative  net change in cash of  $384,316  for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999. The principal  sources of cash were Net Income
of  $373,681,  a decrease  in  Inventory  of  $909,056  and an  increase in bank
indebtedness.  These  items  were  off set by cash  used  to  increase  Accounts
Receivable at the end of the period.

     Cash  flows  used in  investing  activities  for  the  nine  months  ending
September 30, 1999 were $1,026,377.  This reflected planned capital addition for
cylinders,  designs and engravings for new collections. The company received net
proceeds from it's initial public offering effective June 18, 1998 in the amount
of $5,156,195.  The company believes that the proceeds of the offering,  coupled
with the income from  operations,  will fulfill the  company's  working  capital
needs  for at least the next  twelve to  eighteen  months.  It is the  company's
intention to utilize a good portion of these funds to develop new product  lines
of wallpaper and fabric plus  continue the  development  of floor  coverings and
ceiling tiles, and using funds for possible acquisitions.

YEAR 2000

     The  Company's  review of its own  operating  systems does not indicate any
Year 2000  problems.  However,  the Company is highly  dependent  on third party
vendors.  Failures and  interruptions,  if any,  resulting from the inability of
certain  computing  systems of third  party  vendors,  including  the  Company's
clearing broker to recognize the Year 2000 could have material adverse effect on
the Company's  results of  operations.  There can be no assurance  that the Year
2000 issue can be resolved by any of such third  parties  prior to the  upcoming
change  in the  century.  Although  the  Company  may incur  substantial  costs,
particularly  costs resulting from increased  charges by its third party service
providers,  as a result of such third party service  providers  correcting  Year
2000 issues, such costs are not sufficiently certain to estimate at this time.
