     All statements  contained herein that are not historical facts,  including,
but  not  limited  to,  statements  regarding  the  Company's  current  business
strategy,  the Company's  projected  sources and uses of cash, and the Company's

expectations.  These  statements  are  forward-looking  in nature and  involve a
number of risks and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially.  Among
the  factors  that  could  cause  actual  results to differ  materially  are the

business  plans on  terms  satisfactory  to the  Company;  competitive  factors;

     Results of  Operations:  Nine months ended  November 30, 1996 compared with
nine months ended November 30, 1995:



     Net Sales

     For the nine  months  ended  November  30,  1996 the  Company's  net  sales
increased by $1,073,000 to $12,000,000  from sales of  $10,927,000  for the nine
months ended  November  30,  1995.  Sales by the  Company's  German  subsidiary,
Soligor GmbH,  Foto Optik Video  Electronik  ("Soligor  GmbH"),  increased by DM
2,564,000 which, when combined with changes in the exchange rate, resulted in an
increase in sales of $1,073,000 after translation. The Company's sales increased
due to efforts of Soligor  GmbH in promoting  the sale of new  products  groups,
such as  electronic  products  and  video  equipment,  an  increasing  number of
accessories, as well as video surveillance equipment.



     Cost of Goods Sold

     As a percentage of sales,  cost of goods sold was 70.5% for the nine months
ended  November 30, 1996 as compared to 70.2% for the nine months ended November
30, 1995. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales was caused
by changes of exchange rate on Japanese Yen, Dutch Mark and U.S. Dollars.



     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     For the nine months ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, selling,  general and
administrative ("SG & A") expenses were 28.8% and 30.2% of sales,  respectively.
The  decrease  in SG & A  expenses  as a  percentage  of sales was the result of
increased net sales.
