RIDER A
It is anticipated that the Company's result of operations for the
quarter ended
March 31, 1996 will be significantly changed from the previous
year due to the
reporting as a discontinued operation of the Company's KSW, Inc.
subsidiary whose
interest was distributed by the Company to its shareholders of
record as of
December 4, 1995. Additionally, the Company's subsidiary,
Tri-Lite, Inc., on
February 1996, filed for chapter 11 proceedings under the
Bankruptcy code thereby
requiring a different presentation and disclosure for their
results of operations
for 1996.
The Company at this time cannot accurately quantify the effect of
such accounting
issues since the completion of the Company's financial statement
are currently
underway.
