            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note  1  -  Basis  of  Preparation

The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of Form 10-QSB and include all adjustments (consisting of all
normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary
in  order  to  make the financial statements not misleading.  The consolidated
financial  statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
and  majority-owned  subsidiaries.   All significant intercompany accounts and
profits  have  been  eliminated.

Certain  items  in the fiscal 2000 financial statements have been reclassified
to  conform  to  the  fiscal  2001  manner  of  presentation.


Note  2  -  Going  Concern

As  of September 30, 2000, the Company was still in default on its debt to the
Internal  Revenue  Service ("IRS").  However, on November 1, 2000, the Company
paid  off  all  of  the  outstanding principal and accrued interest on its IRS
debt, curing its default.  The Company paid the IRS with funds received from a
bank  refinancing  at  its  glass  manufacturing  subsidiary, L.E. Smith Glass
Company  ("L.E.  Smith").    (See  Notes  8  and  14.)


Note  3  -  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents

Cash  and cash equivalents include investments that are readily convertible to
known  amounts  of  cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
The  Company  places  its  cash  and temporary cash investments with financial
institutions.    At  times,  such  investments  may  be in excess of federally
insured  limits.


Note  4  -  Discontinued  Operations

 On  December 31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors,  Inc.  ("Krazy Colors") operation due to continuing losses incurred by
the  operation,  as  well  as  the  business' inability to sustain significant
long-term customers.  On August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell
the  assets  or  stock  of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NBI Properties, Inc.
("NBI  Properties")  and  Willowbrook  Properties,  Inc.  ("Willowbrook
Properties"),  in  order  to  pay the remaining balance of the IRS debt due on
December  31,  1999  (see  Notes  8  and  13).    Therefore,  the  Company has
discontinued  its  children's  paint  manufacturing,  hotel  and  real  estate
development operations, and it has separately reported the income or loss from
these segments as discontinued operations for the quarters ended September 30,
2000  and  1999  as  follows:

The disposal of the children's paint manufacturing operation was substantially
complete  as  of  September  30,  1999.

On  December  17,  1999, the Company sold a majority of the assets of its real
estate  development,  consisting  of  land and construction-in-progress, to an
entity  which  is  100%  owned  and  controlled by NBI's CEO, Jay Lustig.  The
Company  intends  to  sell  all  of  the capital stock of NBI Properties to an
entity  which is also 100% owned and controlled by its CEO (see Note 13).  The
Company  recorded  a  deferred gain on the sale of the real estate development
during  the  second  quarter of fiscal 2000 (see Notes 9 and 13) and expects a
significant  gain  overall  from the discontinued operations of the hotel, and
therefore, no amount has been recorded related to these disposals; these gains
will  be  recognized  when  realized.

The  net  long-term  assets  of  discontinued operations at September 30, 2000
consisted  primarily  of  land,  buildings  and  hotel furniture, fixtures and
equipment,  net  of  a  long-term mortgage note payable by the hotel.  The net
current  assets  of  discontinued  operations  at September 30, 2000 consisted
primarily  of  cash,  net  of  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities.


Note  5  -  Investments  in  Securities

The  Company  held  no  investments and had no realized or unrealized gains or
losses  for  the  quarter  ended  September 30, 2000.  During the three months
ended  September  30, 1999, all of the Company's securities were classified as
trading  securities;  no  securities  were  classified  as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale.    Realized and unrealized investment gains of $46,000 and
$2,000,  respectively, were recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.

As  part  of  its  investment policies, the Company's investment portfolio may
include  option  instruments and may include a concentrated position in one or
more  securities.    As  a result of this, the financial results may fluctuate
significantly  and  have  larger  fluctuations  than  with  a more diversified
portfolio.   In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading  securities.    Short-sales  can  result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses  can  be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of  the  securities subsequently increase.  At September 30, 2000, the Company
had  no  investment  positions.

Note  7  -  Note  Receivable  from  Related  Party

In  conjunction  with  the  sale  of  Willowbrook  Properties'  land  and
construction-in-progress  (see  Notes  4  and  13),  on December 17, 1999, the
Company  received  a  note  receivable  in  the amount of $2.7 million from an
entity  which  is  100%  owned  and  controlled  by NBI's CEO.  The note bears
interest  at  the rate of two-year Treasury Notes plus 200 basis points with a
rate of 8.14% determined at closing for the remainder of calendar 1999 and all
of  calendar  2000, and to be redetermined each succeeding December 31 for the
following calendar year's rate.  The note is payable in quarterly installments
of  interest  only  with  the  entire  outstanding  principal balance plus any
accrued but unpaid interest to be paid in full on December 31, 2006.  Included
in other current assets at September 30, 2000 was $173,000 of accrued interest
on  the  note.


Note  8  -  Income  Taxes

IRS  Debt:

On  April  28,  1998,  the Company and the IRS entered into an Amended Payment
Agreement,  revising  the  payment  terms  related  to  NBI Inc.'s IRS debt of
$5,278,000.  This agreement, effective April 9, 1998, revised the terms of the
agreement in principal with the IRS effective October 1, 1995 and the original
settlement  agreement  with the IRS dated June 12, 1991, with respect to NBI's
federal tax liabilities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1980 through 1988.
Under  the  current  agreement, $3,500,000 of the IRS debt was due and paid on
December 31, 1998, and the remaining balance of $1,778,000 was due on December
31,  1999.   On December 30, 1999, the Company paid the IRS $400,000 and as of
December  31,  1999,  $1,378,000  of  the  IRS debt was still outstanding.  On
January  5,  2000, the IRS sent NBI notice of a default of its Amended Payment
Agreement,  due  to the Company's failure to pay the remaining $1,378,000 that
was  due  on  December  31, 1999.  Per the terms of the agreement, an event of
default  occurred  on  January 20, 2000, fifteen days after written notice and
demand  from  the  IRS  to  NBI.

On  February  18,  2000,  the  Company  paid  the  IRS $500,000 from a deposit
received  from  its  CEO  related  to NBI's pending sale of all of the capital
stock of NBI Properties to an entity which is 100% owned and controlled by Mr.
Lustig.   On March 15, 2000, the Company received a notice of default from the
IRS  regarding  NBI's  failure  to  cure  the  default  of its Amended Payment
Agreement.    The  IRS declared the remaining principal amount of $878,000 due
and  payable  with  interest  thereon at the statutory rate provided under the
Internal  Revenue  Code  since  the  last payment made by NBI.  On November 1,
2000,  the  Company  paid  the  IRS  in  full and cured its default with funds
received  from  a  bank  refinancing at L.E. Smith (see Note 14).  The payment
totaled  $1,157,000  and  consisted  of  the  remaining  principal  balance of
$878,000  and  cumulative  accrued  interest  of  $279,000.

Income  tax  provision:

The  Company  recorded  income  tax  provisions  from continuing operations of
$13,000  and  $28,000  for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.    These provisions include state and other income taxes and are
based  upon  book  income.

In  accordance  with fresh start accounting, which was adopted as of April 30,
1992,  and as a result of the Company's reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code,  utilization  of  any  income  tax  benefit  from
pre-reorganization  net  operating  losses  is  not credited to the income tax
provision,  but  rather,  reported  as an addition to capital in excess of par
value.  No pre-reorganization net operating losses were utilized for the three
months  ended  September  30,  2000  or  1999.

Willowbrook  Properties'  Sale:

During  the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded a taxable gain
of  $921,000  from  the  sale  of  a  majority  of  the  assets of Willowbrook
Properties,  whereas,  the  gain  has  been  deferred  for financial statement
purposes  (see  Notes  9  and  13).   NBI does not expect to incur any federal
income  taxes  payable  from  this  gain,  due  to  the  availability  of
post-reorganization  capital  loss  carryforwards.  However, it does expect to
incur  approximately  $40,000  of Pennsylvania state income taxes on this gain
because  Willowbrook  Properties'  does  not  have sufficient Pennsylvania net
operating  loss carryforwards available to offset the entire gain.  The income
tax  expense  has  been  netted  against  the  deferred  gain  on  the  sale.


Note  9  -  Deferred  Gain  from  Sale  of  Operation

On  December  17,  1999,  the  Company closed on the sale of a majority of the
assets  of  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Willowbrook Properties, to an entity
which  is 100% owned and controlled by NBI's CEO.  The terms and conditions of
the sale were previously approved at NBI's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held
on  December  16,  1999.  The Company has accounted for the sale in accordance
with  SFAS  No.  66,  "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate."  The terms of the
sale do not meet the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for recognition of gain until
the  purchase  price  is  paid  in  full  in  cash.  Consequently, the Company
recorded  a deferred gain on the sale of $881,000 during fiscal 2000, which is
net of selling expenses of $48,000 and net of approximately $40,000 of related
income  taxes.    (See  Notes  4,  8  and  13.)


Note  10  -  Stockholders'  Equity

The  Company  has authorized 20,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.
At  September 30, 2000, 10,130,520 shares were issued including 2,027,200 held
in  treasury.    Therefore,  the  Company  had  8,103,320  shares  issued  and
outstanding  at  September  30,  2000.

The  Company  has  authorized  5,000,000  shares of preferred stock with a par
value  of  $.01  per  share,  and has designated 2,000,000 preferred shares as
Series  A  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock.    At  September  30,  2000,  507,421
registered  shares  of  Series  A  Cumulative  Preferred Stock were issued and
outstanding.

On  August  19,  1999,  the  Board of Directors declared the first semi-annual
dividend  on its outstanding Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock to holders of
record  as  of  August  19, 1999.  On September 3, 1999, $252,000 in dividends
were  paid,  consisting  of $182,000 in cash and 7,421 in additional shares of
preferred  stock,  valued  at  $70,000,  per the elections of the holders.  No
dividends  have  been  declared  or  paid  subsequently.    Cumulative  unpaid
dividends  totaled  approximately  $640,000  as  of  September  30,  2000.

with  an  exercise price of $.38 per share were included in the computation of
diluted  earnings  per  share  because  their exercise price was less than the

Note  12  -  Seasonal  Variations  of  Operations

Excluding the effect of its significant customer, L.E. Smith typically has its
strongest  revenue performance during the first and second fiscal quarters due
to  seasonal  variations.    Generally, the fourth fiscal quarter's revenue is
moderately lower than in the first and second quarters, while the third fiscal
quarter's  revenue  is  usually  significantly  lower than the other quarters.
However,  historically  these  trends  have  been  materially  affected  by
fluctuations in the timing of orders from its significant customer, which does
not  have  consistent  trends.    In  addition,  sales  to  L.E. Smith's other
customers  during  the  third  quarter  of fiscal 2000 were higher than in the
first  and  second  quarters  of  fiscal  2000 because the Company had a large
increase  in  new  customers  during  the  third  quarter.

Note  13  -  Related  Party  Transactions

Prior  to  NBI's  1999  Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company received a
fairness  opinion regarding its proposed sale of the majority of the assets of
Willowbrook  Properties  and  all  of  the  capital stock of NBI Properties to
entities which are 100% owned and controlled by its CEO.  The fairness opinion
concluded  that  the transaction was fair from a financial point of view.  The
terms and conditions of the proposed transaction were approved at NBI's Annual
Meeting  of  Stockholders  on  December  16,  1999.

On  December  17,  1999,  the  Company closed on the sale of a majority of the
assets  of  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Willowbrook Properties, to an entity
which  is  100%  owned and controlled by NBI's CEO.  The Company has accounted
for  the  sale  in  accordance with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate."    The  terms of the sale do not meet the requirements of SFAS No. 66
for  recognition  of  gain  until  the purchase price is paid in full in cash.
Consequently,  the  Company  recorded  a deferred gain on the sale of $881,000
during  fiscal  2000,  which  is net of selling expenses of $48,000 and net of
approximately $40,000 of related income taxes.  The sale consisted of land and
construction-in-progress  and  was  for  a net purchase price of $3.3 million.
The  purchase price was net of construction costs which were previously funded
by advances from Mr. Lustig.  Concurrently with the closing of the Willowbrook
Properties  sale  transaction,  such amounts were deemed to be expenses of the
buyer.   The purchase price was paid by $600,000 in cash and a note payable in
the  amount  of  $2.7  million.  (See  Notes  4,  7  and  9.)

Mr. Lustig has proposed to purchase all of the capital stock of NBI Properties
for  $1.4 million in cash and a note payable of $1.1 million.  On February 18,
2000,  Mr.  Lustig  paid  the  Company  a  deposit of $500,000 related to this
proposed  purchase.  This amount was included in accrued liabilities and other
at September 30, 2000.  Mr. Lustig is currently working on obtaining the funds
to  enable  him  to  close  on  this  transaction.

Note  14  -  Subsequent  Event

On November 1, 2000, the Company paid off all of the outstanding principal and
accrued  interest  on  its IRS debt, curing its default.  The Company paid the
IRS with funds received from a bank refinancing of L.E. Smith (see Notes 2 and
8).   The bank refinancing consists of a $3.0 million revolving line of credit
and  a  five-year  term  note payable of $2,950,000, and replaces the existing
revolving  line  of  credit  and  term  note  payable.   The proceeds from the
financing will also be used for a new crystal tank for the glass manufacturing
facility.    The debt provides for interest ranging from the bank's prime rate
less  1/2%  to the bank's prime rate plus 1%, depending upon L.E. Smith's debt
to  tangible  net worth ratio.  The debt is collateralized by a first security
interest in all of L.E. Smith's accounts receivable, inventories, personal and
real  property,  as  well  as all of the capital stock of American Glass, Inc.
d/b/a L.E. Smith Glass Company.  The debt is subject to a loan agreement which
contains  covenants  requiring  maintenance of a minimum debt service coverage
ratio  and  minimum  tangible  net  worth.   In addition, it prohibits certain
activities  of  L.E.  Smith without the bank's approval, including creation of
debts  or  liens,  payment  of  dividends,  granting  loans  or making certain
investments  and  participation  in  any  mergers,  acquisitions  or ownership
changes.    Also,  the  agreement  limits  the  amount of L.E. Smith's capital
expenditures  and  dispositions  of  assets  not  in  the  ordinary  course of
business.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2001


The  statements  in this discussion contain certain forward-looking statements
within  the  meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and  Section  21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  that are not
historical facts.  The forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's
current  expectations  and  are  subject  to  known  and  unknown  risks,
uncertainties,  assumptions  and  other  factors.   Should one or more of such
risks  or  uncertainties  materialize,  or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect,  the actual results could differ materially from those contemplated
by  the  forward-looking  statements.    Factors  that  may  affect  such
forward-looking statements include, among others, ability to obtain financing,
loss  of significant customers, reliance on key personnel, competitive factors
and  pricing  pressures,  availability  of  raw  materials,  labor  disputes,
investment  results,  limitations  on  the  utilization  of net operating loss
carryforwards,  adequacy of insurance coverage, inflation and general economic
conditions.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Revenues from continuing operations totaled $3.9 million for the first quarter
of  fiscal  2001  and  reflected  a minimal increase, as expected, compared to
revenues  of  $3,848,000  for  the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1999.

Revenues from continuing operations are expected to increase substantially for
the  three  months  ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in the
prior  fiscal  year,  because  L.E.  Smith  expects  a substantial increase in
revenues  from  its  largest  customer  as  well  as a significant increase in
holiday  orders from its other customers.  Revenues from continuing operations
are  expected  to  increase  moderately  for the second quarter of fiscal 2001
compared  to  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal 2001 primarily due to a moderate
increase  in  revenues  from  its  largest  customer.

Cost  of  sales  from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
was  71.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, compared to 70.1% for the
same  period  in  fiscal  2000.    The  resulting  decline in gross margin was
primarily  due  to  the  absence  of a $42,000 credit recorded in fiscal 2000,
resulting  from  the  reversal  of  excess  reserves  for a prior self-insured
workmen's  compensation  plan,  and  from  general  cost  increases.

Cost  of  sales  from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
for  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2001 is expected to be moderately lower
compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2000 due to the projected increase in
expected  sales  volume,  which will cause favorable absorption of fixed costs
partially  offset  by general cost increases, including a substantial increase
projected for natural gas costs after L.E. Smith's current contract expires in
October  2000.    However,  cost  of  sales  from  continuing  operations as a
percentage  of  related  revenue  for  the  second  quarter  of fiscal 2001 is
expected to be moderately higher compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2001,
as  the  increases  expected from higher gas costs, general cost increases,
anticipated  year-end  bonuses and projected production inefficiencies related
to preparations for installation of the new crystal tank are expected to exceed
favorable variances caused by the moderately higher projected revenue volume.

Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  from continuing operations
totaled  $768,000  and  $745,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000
and  1999,  respectively.   The increase was related to general cost increases
partially  offset by lower sales commissions resulting from the commissionable
sales  mix.

Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  for  the second quarter of
fiscal  2001  are expected to increase significantly compared to both the same
period  of  the  prior  fiscal  year  and  the  first  quarter of fiscal 2001,
resulting  from  general cost increases, higher sales commissions expected due
to  the  projected  increases  in  revenues, and anticipated year-end bonuses.

Interest  expense totaled $82,000 and $48,000 for the quarters ended September
30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.  The increase was primarily due to $27,000 of
interest  expense  recorded on the Company's IRS debt during the first quarter
of  fiscal  2001, resulting from the Company's default on this debt (see notes
2,  8  and  14  to  the  accompanying  consolidated financial statements).  In
addition, L.E. Smith had an increase in interest expense resulting from higher
average  outstanding  balances  on  its  line  of  credit as well as increased
interest  rates.

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2001 - CONTINUED


The  Company expects to have a significant increase in interest expense during
the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  2001 compared to both the same period in the
prior fiscal year and the first quarter of fiscal 2001 primarily due to higher
expected    average  outstanding debt resulting from its new bank financing at
L.E.  Smith.

The  Company  held  no  investments and had no realized or unrealized gains or
losses  for  the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  For the three months ended
September  30,  1999,  the  Company recorded a realized gain on investments of
$46,000  and  an  unrealized  gain  on  investments of $2,000.  As part of its
investment  policy, the Company's investment portfolio may include investments
in  option  instruments and may include a concentrated position in one or more
securities.    As  a  result  of  this,  the  financial  results may fluctuate
significantly  and  have  larger  fluctuations  than  with  a more diversified
portfolio.   In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading  securities.    Short-sales  can  result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses  can  be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of  the  securities subsequently increase.  At September 30, 2000, the Company
had  no  investment  positions.

The Company recorded provisions for income taxes from continuing operations of
$13,000  and  $28,000 the first quarter of fiscal 2001 and 2000, respectively,
primarily  due  to  the inclusion of Pennsylvania state income tax provisions.
The  state  income  tax  provisions  are related to the Company's Pennsylvania
operations  and  are based upon book income, because the continuing operations
do  not  have  any net operating loss carryforwards available in Pennsylvania.
In  accordance with fresh-start accounting, the income tax provisions recorded
include  non-cash  charges  to  the extent that the Company expects to use its
pre-reorganization  net  operating  loss  carryforwards.    These  charges are
reported  as  an  addition to capital in excess of par value, rather than as a
credit  through  the  income tax provision.  There were no non-cash components
included in the income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30,
2000  or  1999.

DISCONTINUED  OPERATIONS

On  December  31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors'  operation due to continuing losses incurred by the operation, as well
as  the  business'  inability  to sustain significant long-term customers.  On
August  19,  1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell the assets or stock of
its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NBI Properties and Willowbrook Properties in
order  to  pay  the remaining balance of the IRS debt due on December 31, 1999
(see  Notes  4,  8  and 13 to accompanying consolidated financial statements).
Therefore,  the  Company  has discontinued its children's paint manufacturing,
hotel,  and real estate development operations, and it has separately reported
the  income  or  loss  from  these segments as discontinued operations for the
quarters  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999.

Revenues  from  discontinued operations totaled $673,000 for the first quarter
of  fiscal  2001  compared to $707,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal
year.    The  decline  in  revenues  was  primarily  related to the absence of
revenues  from  Krazy  Colors.

The  Company  recorded  net income from discontinued operations of $38,000 and
$28,000  for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

The  net  long-term  assets  of  discontinued operations at September 30, 2000
consisted  primarily  of  land,  buildings,  development  costs,  and  hotel
furniture, fixtures and equipment, net of a long-term mortgage note payable by
the hotel.  The net current assets of discontinued operations at September 30,
2000  consisted  primarily  of  cash,  net  of  accounts  payable  and accrued
liabilities.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2001 - CONTINUED


FINANCIAL  CONDITION,  LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

The  Company's  total  assets increased $588,000 to $14.1 million at September
30,  2000 from $13.5 million at June 30, 2000.  The increase was primarily due
to  a  significant  increase  in  trade  accounts  receivable  resulting  from
increased  revenues  in  September 2000 compared to June 2000, and from slower
collections.    The  Company  had  working capital of $57,000 at September 30,
2000,  compared to negative working capital of $206,000 at June 30, 2000.  The
increase  in  working  capital  was  primarily  due to an increase in accounts
receivable  partially  offset  by  increases  in  accounts payable and accrued
liabilities  at  September  30,  2000.

As  of September 30, 2000, the Company was still in default on its debt to the
IRS.    However,  on  November  1,  2000,  the  Company  paid  off  all of the
outstanding  principal  and  accrued  interest  on  its  IRS  debt, curing its
default.  The Company paid the IRS with funds received from a bank refinancing
at  L.E.  Smith  Glass  Company.    (See Notes 2, 8 and 14 to the accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements.)

Construction-in-progress  from  continuing  operations  totaled  $338,000  at
September  30,  2000  and  included  $120,000 for design and engineering costs
related  to  a  new  crystal  tank  for the glass manufacturing facility.  The
Company  estimates  that it will cost approximately $1,785,000 to complete the
outstanding construction-in-progress, all of which is expected to be completed
during  fiscal  2001.    A  majority  of  the  estimated costs to complete the
outstanding  projects  is  related to the new crystal tank.  The new tank will
have  an  estimated  useful life of 20 to 25 years, with major refurbishments,
costing  approximately  $500,000, required every seven years.  The Company has
subsequently  closed  on bank financing to fund this project.  (See Note 14 to
the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements.)

The  Company expects its other working capital requirements in the next fiscal
year,  including  any  cash  dividends  on  its  preferred stock, to be met by
existing  working  capital  at September 30, 2000, internally generated funds,
remaining  cash proceeds due in conjunction with the pending sale of the stock
of  NBI  Properties  to the Company's CEO and short-term borrowings under L.E.
Smith's  new  line  of  credit.
