Note 1

Primary earnings per common share are computed by using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the year: 1,471,354 shares in 1996
and 1,471,434 shares in 1995.


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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued



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, the Company invested an additional
$123,500 into Core which was subsequently reduced to zero as of October 1995
because of losses incurred by Core.  During 1996, the Company has invested an
additional $84,000 into Core, which has been written off, due to expected
losses at Core during the same period.

In April 1996 the Company agreed to an extension of its forbearance under the
Loan and Security Agreement with Core to August 15, 1996.  Under the extension
agreement, the Company will be granted additional common stock in Core, based
on a formula using the unpaid balance of the loans, as a percent of the total
loans, calculated at certain intervals.  In April 1996 the Company received
206,700 shares of Core common stock.  At April 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company
owned approximately 23.3% and 21.5% respectively of the issued and outstanding
common stock of Core.

Summarized unaudited financial statements for Core, for the four months ended
April 30, 1996 are as follows:

</TABLE>


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 April 1996 of $2,017,000 continues to improve
when compared to $1,844,00 at October 1995 and $1,855,000 at April 1995.
Current sales growth has placed additional demands on working capital as the
Company maintains high inventory levels to service customers needs as well as
for on-time deliveries.  While this is considered a necessary requirement of
growth, as well as a customer requirement, the Company is striving for ways to
implement inventory controls yet service its customers on a timely basis.

The Company's credit agreement provides for a total line of credit of
$3,400,000, of which $2,000,000 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 April 1996, the Company had approximately $994,000
available under the working capital line and $300,000 available under the
equipment line as compared to $823,000 and $300,000 respectively at October
1995 and $644,000 and $400,000 respectively at April 1995.  The Company
believes that the lines of credit are adequate to fund working capital
requirements during the balance of 1996.  The Company's credit agreement is
automatically renewed in August 1996 unless terminated in writing by the
lender.  The Company is currently in discussions with its lender regarding the
extension of its credit agreement and has no reason to believe that the line of
credit will not be extended by the lender.

The Company has acquired $195,000 of new equipment during 1996.  $132,000 of
the equipment was financed through a five year equipment lease.  The Company
anticipates additional equipment purchases during 1996 of $200,000 to $300,000.
The Company's current equipment line of credit of $300,000 is expected be
adequate to fund any additional equipment purchases.

The Company has plans to expand its Phoenix division during 1996 and is
currently in negotiations regarding leasing a 15,000 square foot facility for
five years.  The Company's current lease on its Phoenix facility ends in August
1996.  The larger facility will allow for planned expansion over the next few
years as well as provide the division with a better equipped, autonomous
working environment.  The expansion is expected to cost between $150,000 and
$200,000, including equipment and leasehold improvements, over a period of six
to twelve months.  The Company believes it will be able to fund these costs
from working capital and its equipment line of credit.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The operating results for the first six months of 1996 have continued to show
improvement as the demand for the Company's services has remained very strong.
Sales for the six months and three months ended April 1996 were 24% and 17%
ahead of 1995.  The sales increases are a continuation of a strong business
climate as well as the results of the Company's growth program.  The leasing of
additional facilities in 1995 has allowed for the continued expansion

<PAGE>   15


into larger diameter machines as well as expanding our secondary operations
department.  These planned expansions are the basis for the Company's current
growth plans.

The company's operating profits for the six months and three months ended April
1996 of $747,000 and $324,000 respectively, reflect increases of 59% and 52%
when compared to 1995.  The increase in operating profits is a direct result of
the increased sales.  The Company's current backlog at April 1996 of
$5,825,000, as compared to $6,134,000 at October 1995 and $5,163,0000 at April
1995, continues to demonstrate the strength in the current business climate.
While the Company has experienced slight downturns in sales and backlog during
1996, the effect has always been short-term.

In February 1995, the Company leased 17,000 square feet of additional
manufacturing facilities in Ontario, California.  The lease is effective March
1995 through September 1997.  Improvements to the additional facilities cost
approximately $50,000, in addition to the labor and overhead associated with
setting up the facility, before the facility became functional.
