- ------

Primary earnings per common share are computed by using the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the year: 1,468,934 shares in 1997
and 1,471,354 shares in 1996.


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.

losses. During 1996, the Company invested an additional $149,739 in Core, which
was subsequently reduced to zero as of October 1996 because of losses incurred
by Core. During fiscal 1997, the Company has invested an additional $33,326 in
Core which has been written off due to expected losses at Core during the same
period. At January 31, 1997 and 1996 the Company owned approximately 27.8% and
21.5% respectively 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:

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%. As of January 31, 1997, the Company's unpaid balance is $120,000.

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 1997 of $2,235,000 has declined
slightly when compared to $2,391,00 at October 1996. The reduction is primarily
associated with a decline in sales for the first quarter  combined with the cost
associated with building out the Company's new Arizona facility.

The Company expended $134,000 on new equipment and leasehold improvements during
the first quarter of 1997 and has made deposits of $40,000 for the purchase of
$384,000 of additional equipment for delivery in mid-1997. The Company has
recently obtained financing for the equipment purchase which will be financed
through a five year equipment lease. The Company anticipates additional
equipment purchases and leasehold improvements during 1997 of $600,000 to
$700,000. The Company's current equipment line of credit of $300,000 is not
expected to be adequate to fund all of the additional equipment purchases.
However, the Company does not anticipate any difficulty in obtaining the
required financing.

The Company's credit agreement provides for a total line of credit of
$3,500,000, of which $2,200,000 is for working capital, $900,000 long term
machinery and equipment loan, and $400,000 line for the acquisition of
additional equipment. At January 1997, the Company had approximately $893,000
available under the working capital line and $300,000 available under the
equipment line as compared to $1,260,000 and $300,000 , respectively, at October
1996 and $693,000 and $400,000, respectively, at January 1996. The Company
believes the lines of credit are adequate to fund the working capital
requirements, other than the Company's major capital expenditures noted above,
during the balance of 1997. The Company has projected a large capital
expenditure program for 1997 which requires certain amendments to its credit
agreement. The Company has recently obtained approval from its lender for the
required amendments to the Company's credit agreement. These amendments will
allow the Company to implement its capital expenditure program, including
obtaining the necessary additional equipment financing from other sources as
required. The Company's credit agreement terminates in August 1997 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.



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

Sales for the first quarter of 1997 showed a 16% reduction over the same period
in 1996. The decline in sales for the quarter is not considered an indication of
a slowing of demand for the Company's services, but due to a longer than normal
shutdown during the holidays and timing of shipments. This is evidenced by the
increase in inventory and backlog at January 1997. The Company's backlog of
$6,866,000 at January 1997 continues to show a strong demand for our services,
as compared to $6,184,000 at October 1996 and $5,931,000 at January 1996. With a
healthy backlog, the Company anticipates the second quarter's sales to be more
reflective of the current business climate.
<PAGE>
 
Operating profits of $208,000 for the quarter ended January 1997, as compared to
$423,000 for January 1996, directly reflect the Company's slower sales activity
for the first quarter. In addition, the Company had additional non capital costs
associated with the building-out and move into the new Arizona facility. It is
anticipated that additional costs will be absorbed during 1997 in bringing the
new facility into acceptable operating condition. While the exact additional
cost is not known, it is not expected to exceed $50,000.
