NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - QUARTERLY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes
as of March 31, 2000 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and
1999 are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of financial position and results of operations of the Company for the
interim periods. The results of operations for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be
expected for the full fiscal year. The information included in this report
should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto and the other information, including risk factors,
set forth for the year ended December 31, 1999 in the Company's Form 10-SB.
Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are strongly encouraged to
review the Company's Form 10-SB. Copies are available from the Company's
Investor Relations Department at 9985 Huennekens Street, San Diego, CA 92121.

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts Receivable at March 31, 2000 were $2,842,572 with a reserve for
doubtful accounts of ($304,226) for net receivables of $2,538,346.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORY

     Inventories consist of:
          Raw materials             $1,869.263
          Finished goods               541,373

                                    ----------
                                    $2,510,636
NOTE 4 - BANK LOAN

We have a $1,000,000 Revolving Line of Credit with Scripps Bank in San Diego,
California, which is at the lender's general reference rate of interest and is
collateralized by accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2000, we had drawn
$519,150 under that Line of Credit.

NOTE 5 - LETTER OF CREDIT COMMITMENTS

The Company purchases some components from overseas vendors through Letter of
Credit financing. At March 31, 2000, we had $338,641 in such Letters of Credit
outstanding with Scripps Bank, San Diego. These Letters of Credit are generally
due and payable by the Company upon shipment of the products by our vendors.


                                       6

NOTE 6 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average of shares outstanding during the period. At
March 31, 2000, there were 23,426,486 common shares outstanding. The computation
of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of the exercise of share options
and share purchase warrants outstanding because their effect would be
antidilutive due to losses incurred by the Company during this period. At March
31, 2000, there were 2,939,740 share options and 1,291,250 share purchase
warrants outstanding.

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

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contain forward-looking statements which involve substantial risks
and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ materially from
those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including those set forth in this section and elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net Sales. Net consolidated sales through the first quarter of 2000 were
$4,245,876, a 3% increase compared to $4,115,129 in the first quarter of 1999.
Putter sales were essentially flat even though we introduced no new models.
Wedge sales were below our projections due to the delayed launch of our Polar
Balanced Wedge product.

     Gross Profit. Gross margins decreased approximately 3% due to "close out"
sales of slower moving putters.

     Operating Expenses. Operating Expenses for the first quarter of 2000 were
$2,048,772 up 38% compared to $1,485,631 for 1999, due to increases in Sales and
Marketing, General and Administrative, and Research and Development noted below.

     Sales and Marketing. Sales and Marketing expense increased 32% over the
same quarter last year, principally due to increases in commission expense and
sales staff. Commissions were up due to (i) the use of outside call rooms for
telemarketing campaigns where commissions are 20-25% on gross sales and (ii) a
portion of 1999 sales were not paid until First Quarter 2000 due to a computer
software error. Salaries in the sales department were up as we added sales
personnel. Marketing expenses were also higher due to production and testing
expenses for an infomercial which had not yet been rolled out.

     General and Administrative Expense. General and Administrative expenses
were $506,423, an increase of 21% from $408,036 in the first quarter of 1999.
These increases were primarily due to an increase in wages and salaries. Moving
costs and higher rent also contributed in increased G&A as we completed our move
from an 18,000 square foot facility to a 26,000 square foot facility in February
2000.

     Research and Development Expense. Research and Development expenses
increased 24% in the first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of
1999. This increase was in wages and salaries to cover additional work on new
products and improvement of current technologies.

     Other Expenses. Other expenses were higher in deferred costs and
depreciation, but the same for amortization of goodwill. There were more
infomercial costs to expense in the first quarter of 2000 compared to1999.
Depreciation was higher by $9,510 in 2000 because of the purchase of new
computer information systems software.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     Income Taxes. The company has not recorded a provision for income taxes for
the current three-month period, as losses have been incurred to this point in
the current year.

     Capital Expenditures. Capital Expenditures in the first quarter of 2000
were $95,338, compared to $198,437 in the first quarter of 1999. $56,970 was
paid for a secondary Polar Balanced Putter tooling and $11,675 for Yipless
Putter robots that demonstrate Carbite Technology in a retail environment. The
remaining balance was used in set-up of our new building for equipment and
production support.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We have historically financed our business through cash flow from
operations and the private placement of equity and/or debt securities,
supplemented with short-term borrowings from commercial lenders. In March, 2000,
we raised $550,000 through a private equity placement with a director, resident
in Canada. Net cash used by operating activities was $498,313 for the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $148,234 net cash used for the same quarter in
1999. As of March 31, 2000, we had drawn $519,150 under our $1,000,000 Credit
Facility at Scripps Bank, San Diego.

                               OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

     On February 4, 2000, we moved to a new headquarters building at 9985
Huennekens Street, San Diego, California. We are leasing the building under a
four-year lease dated October 29, 1999 that calls for base rent of $20,185 per
month. This facility provides 26,000 square feet of office, warehouse,
manufacturing, and research and development space and should provide adequate
facilities for growth in the foreseeable future.

     David Williams, the President of Roxborough Holdings in Toronto, Canada,
was appointed to the Company's Board of Directors at a Board meeting on February
17, 2000.

     On March 15, 2000, we completed an Amended and Restated Endorsement
Agreement with pro golfer, Fuzzy Zoeller. The basic terms of the agreement are
the same as the original agreement in August, 1999, i.e., a five-year
Endorsement Agreement whereby Zoeller will play, endorse, and assist in the
development of Carbite products worldwide. The Agreement calls for payments to
Zoeller in a combination of cash and stock of $138,000 for the first six months
(August 1999 to February 2000) and five annual payments of cash and stock
thereafter with a dollar value of $300,000 in Year 2, $300,000 in Year 3,
$500,000 in Year 4, $550,000 in Year 5 and $575,000 in Year 6. We have the right
to terminate the arrangement if 2001 sales do not reach $25 million. This
agreement simply clarifies the procedures for the issuance of shares to Zoeller.
