California, which is at the lender's general reference rate of interest and is
collateralized by accounts receivable.  As of September 30, 2000, we had drawn

NOTE 6 - LETTER OF CREDIT COMMITMENTS

The Company purchases some components from overseas vendors through Letter of
Credit financing. At September 30, 2000, we had $41,350 in such Letters of
Credit outstanding with Scripps Bank, San Diego and $361,033 with Inabata
America Corporation. The Letters of Credit with Scripps Bank are generally due
and payable by the Company upon shipment of the product by our vendors. The
Letters of Credit with Inabata are due and payable by the Company when it takes
delivery of the products after arrival in the United States.

NOTE 7 - 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
September 30, 2000, there were 25,371,750 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
September 30, 2000, there were 2,129,240 share options and 1,854,408 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 in this section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report
on form 10-QSB.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     NET SALES.   Net consolidated sales for the Quarter ending September 30,
2000 were $3,444,715 versus $4,456,002 for the same Quarter in 1999, a decline
of 23%. Our net domestic wholesale sales to retail outlets actually increased by
$250,000 over the same period in 1999. Overall sales results were hurt by poor
performance in our direct sales department. Direct sales experienced high
returns during the Quarter, principally returns of iron sets sold through a
telemarketing campaign that has since been terminated. As the Company plans for
2001, it intends to return its focus to its core products--premium wedges and
putters--sold principally through traditional wholesale distribution. In Third
Quarter 2000, we also saw a reduction in royalty income to zero compared to
$86,000 in Third Quarter 1999.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS MARGIN.   Gross margins declined in Third
Quarter 2000 to 39.7% compared to 53.6% for Third Quarter 1999.  This decline
was the result of multiple factors:  (1) Sales of lower margin products,
including the E-club which we distribute for QVC, and close outs of some of our
older product line; (2)  continuing negative margin impact of our putter/wedge
infomercial which provided customers a free wedge upon purchase of a putter; (3)
increased sales to international and big retail accounts which traditionally
receive deeper discounts; and (4) returns of iron sets sold through our direct
response department.  We have discontinued the primary contributors to this
margin erosion--the putter/wedge infomercial and telemarketing sales of iron
sets.

     OPERATING EXPENSES.  Operating expenses for Third Quarter 2000 were
$1,994,336 versus $2,311,589 for Third Quarter 1999, a decrease of 13%, but a 6%
increase as a percentage of sales.  This reduction was due to reduced variable
selling expenses resulting from reduced sales and reduced media buys.

     SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSE.  Sales and marketing expenses for Third
Quarter 2000 were $1,508,953 compared to $1,668,419 for Third Quarter 1999.  As
a percentage of sales, however, selling expenses increased from 37.4% to 43.8%.
The reduction in expenses for the Quarter was due to reduced variable selling
expenses as sales declined and media buying was reduced.

     GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE.  G&A expenses in Third Quarter 2000
were $308,491 compared to $529,788 in Third Quarter 1999.  This reduction was
principally due to a reduction in Bad Debt expenses and on-going efforts to
reduce overhead expenses.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  R&D expenses in Third Quarter 2000 were $176,852
compared to $113,382 in Third Quarter 1999.  This increase was due to on-going
development costs for new products contemplated for 2001.

     OTHER EXPENSES.  Interest expense increased during Third Quarter 2000 to
$20,893 from $2,301 in Third Quarter 1999 as we made greater use of our Line of
Credit to fund new product purchases for 2001 inventory.  Amortization expenses
were $81,072 in Third Quarter 2000 compared to $101,648 for Third Quarter 1999.

     INCOME TAXES.   As in the first two quarters of 2000, the company has not
recorded a provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30,
2000. Current losses preclude a provision for year to date September 30, 2000.

     CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.   Capital expenditures in the third quarter were
$72,000. These expenditures were for Polar Balanced wedge tooling, leasehold
improvements, and computer station hardware.

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. There were no
private placements in the third quarter of 2000. Net cash used in operating
activities for the quarter ended September 30,2000 was $875,757 compared to cash
from operating activities of $383,087 in the same quarter of 1999. For nine
months ended September 30, 2000, net cash used in operating activities was
$1,012,266 compared to net cash used of $518,005 for the same period in 1999. As
of September 30, 2000, we had drawn $655,650 under our credit facility with
Scripps Bank in San Diego.
