Note 1

Primary earnings per common share are computed by using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the year 1,571,354 shares in 1996
and 1,571,434 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 rated 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 $50,000 into Core, which has been written off, due to expected
losses at Core during the same period. At January 31, 1996  and 1995 the
Company owned approximately 21.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of
Core.

Summarized unaudited financial statements for Core for the year ended December
31, 1996 are as follows:

                 Assets                     $ 1,317,000
                 Liabilities                $ 2,729,000
                 Deficit Equity             $(1,410,000)
                 Sales                      $ 1,070,000
                 Expenses                   $ 2,297,000
                 Loss                       $(1,344,000)


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 January 1996 of $1,978,000 remained healthy
when compared to $1,844,00 at October 1995 and $1,940,000 at January 1995. The
Company's current sales growth continues to require the Company to maintain
high inventory levels to service customers needs as well as for on-time
deliveries.

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 January 1996, the Company had approximately $693,000
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 $558,000 and $400,000 respectively, at January 1995. The Company
believes that the lines of credit are adequate to fund the working capital
requirements during the balance of 1996. The Company's credit agreement
terminates in August 1996 unless extended in writing by the lender. The company
has no reason to believe that the line of credit will not be extended by the
lender.

The Company acquired $184,000 of new equipment during the first quarter of
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. Even though a
specific new location has not yet been designated, it is anticipated that a
minimum of 12,000 to 15,000 square feet will be required. 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


Sales for the first quarter of 1996 showed a 30% growth over the same period in
1995. The growth was a continuation of the sales increases the company had
experienced during all of 1995. The Company anticipates a slight downturn in
sales for the balance of 1996, as the economy appears to be slowing. Even
though the Company's backlog
<PAGE>   12
of $5,931,000 at January 1996 continues to show a strong demand for our
services, as compared to $6,134,000 at October 1995 and $5,503,000 at January
1995, there are indications of a slow down in recent orders and delivery
schedules.

Operating profits of $423,000 for the quarter ended January 1996 as compared to
$256,000 for January 1995 directly reflect the Company's higher sales activity.
The increase in sales has also caused an increase in borrowings under the
Company's working capital line of credit. The combination of the increased
borrowings under the line and the equipment purchases in 1995, are the factors
in a 35% increase in interest expense during 1996.

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.
