Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
July 31, 1995 and 1994




Note 1
------

Primary earnings per common share are computed by using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the year - 1,530,775 shares in 1995
and 1,571,434 shares in 1994.


Note 2
------

In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to a fair settlement of the
results of operations for the interim periods, have been reflected.


Note 3
------

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Athanor Group,
Inc., and its subsidiary, Alger Manufacturing Co., Inc.  Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


Note 4
------

During 1994, the company changed its method of accounting for deferred taxes
from the deferred method under APB No. 11 to the asset and liability method now
required under SFAS No. 109.

Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between
the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases.  In addition, net operating loss carryforwards and
credit carryforwards are included as deferred tax assets.  A valuation
allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded if necessary.  All deferred
tax amounts are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled.  Changes in tax rates are recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.

Note 5
------

The Company accounts for its investment in Core Software Technology  (Core) on
the equity method of accounting which requires the Company to record its shares
of Core's earnings or losses.  During 1995 and 1994, the Company invested an
additional $69,000 and $360,000, respectively, into Core which was subsequently
reduced to zero  because of losses incurred by Core.  At July 31, 1995 and 1994
the Company owned approximately 21.5% and 12.8% respectively.

Summarized unaudited financial statements for Core for the seven months ended
July 31, 1995, are as follows:

Note 6
------

In April 1995 the Company consummated a transaction, whereby it agreed to
acquire 100,000 shares of its common stock at $2 per share.  The agreement
called for 20% down, or $40,000, at the closing and the balance of $160,000 to
be paid in equal annual installments of $40,000 beginning on April 1, 1996,
through April 1, 1999.  Interest payments on the unpaid balance are to be paid
quarterly at 8%.

The unpaid balance is secured by an equal amount of the company's common stock
as defined in the agreement.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------

The Company's working capital at July 1995 of $1,822,000 continues to remain
stable when compared to $1,866,000 at October 1994 and $1,355,000 at July 1994.
The  business climate in 1995 continues to pressure the Company to maintain
high inventory levels for on- time deliveries. In addition, the cost of raw
materials has continued to rise at a rate substantially higher than the balance
of the economy. During the first nine months of 1995, raw material prices have
increased by as much as 11%. The demand at the brass mills, during much of
1995, has pushed deliveries of raw material out many weeks, forcing the company
to inventory more product and its customers to plan further in the future. The
inventory requirements will continue to put pressure on the Company's working
capital and lines of credit.

The Company's credit agreement provides for a total line of credit of
$3,100,000, of which $1,700,000 is for working capital, a $1,000,000 long term
machinery and equipment loan, and a $400,000 line for the acquisition of
additional equipment. At July 1995, the Company had approximately $782,000
available under the working capital line and $300,000 available under the
equipment line as compared to $780,000 and $400,000 , respectively, at October
1994 and $968,000 and $400,000 respectively, at July 1994. The Company believes
that the lines of credit are adequate to fund the working capital requirements
during the balance of 1995. The Company's credit agreement has been extended,
by the lender, to August 1996.

The Company has purchased $498,000 of equipment through July 1995, of which
$412,000 was new manufacturing equipment. The equipment included a new parts
washing system for $215,000 and $198,000 of secondary operation equipment.
$215,000 of the equipment was financed through a five year equipment lease,
$100,000 through the Company's line of credit and the balance from cash flow.
The Company does not anticipate any additional major purchases through the
balance of 1995. If any additional purchases are made, the Company's current
available line of credit of $300,000 is considered adequate to fund those
requirements.

In February 1995, the Company leased 17,000  square feet of additional
manufacturing facilities in Ontario, Calif. The Company had originally
anticipated expanding its Phoenix division, but the availability of additional
space adjacent to its existing facility in Ontario caused the Company to
rethink its options for 1995. The lease is effective March 1995 through
September 1997. Improvements to the additional facilities of approximately
$50,000 were expended in March and April of 1995. The Company plans on using
the facilities for warehousing, assembling and secondary operations.
<PAGE>   15
In April 1995 the company entered into an agreement whereby it agreed to
acquire 100,000 shares of its common stock for $2 per share of $200,000. The
agreement called for 20% down or $40,000 at the closing and the balance to be
paid in equal annual installments of $40,000  beginning in April 1996 through
April 1999. Interest payments on the unpaid balance are to be paid quarterly at
8.5% The note is secured by an equal number of shares of the Company's stock,
in direct relationship to the unpaid balance, at $2 per share.  Each year as a
payment is made, the amount of stock held as security is reduced accordingly.
The Company retains all voting rights to the stock held as security as long as
the Company is not in default on the agreement.





RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Sales for the nine months ended July 1995 show an increase of 13% over 1994.
However, sales for the quarter ended July 1995 reflect a 4% decline from 1994.
While sales for the current year have shown a consistent strength as the
economy remained healthy, the Company had seen signs of a slowdown over a
period of three to four months. In addition, 1995 sales increases are partially
attributed to the substantial raw material increases which started in late 1994
and have continued during 1995. 1995 raw material price increases have been as
high as 11% in some materials.

While the Company's backlog remains very strong at $5,452,000 at July 1995, as
compared to $4,419,000 at October 1994 and $5,359,000 at July 1994, the Company
has experienced a slowdown in certain departments. The backlog also reflects
the effects of longer term contracts, as extended material deliveries have
forced the Company and its customers to plan further in the future. While the
Company does not anticipate a major change in business for the balance of the
current fiscal year, the signs of a weakening economy are more prevalent than
in the last few years.

The Company's operating profits for the nine months and three months ended July
1995 of $719,000 and $250,000 reflect a slight improvement over 1994. Net
income of $286,000 and $69,000 for the nine months and three months ended 1995
as compared to $344,000 and $120,000 for the 1994 reflect higher interest costs
as well as higher effective tax rates, for the current year. The Company
utilized the balance of its tax loss and credit carryforwards in 1994. Current
periods will therefore reflect full tax rates for both financial reporting as
well as cash payments required for tax returns.
