GLOBUS GROWTH GROUP, INC. Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)
November 30, 1995
Note 1 - Basis of Condensed Information
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of November 30, 1995, the results of operations for the
three and nine months ended November 30, 1995 and 1994, and statement
of cash flows for the nine months ended November 30, 1995 and 1994.
The results of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 1995
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
filed on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 1995.
The balance sheet at February 28, 1995 has been derived from the
Company's audited balance sheet included in its Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Note 2 - Earnings Per Share
Per share data are based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares
(options and warrants) would be anti-dilutive and are therefore
excluded from the calculations.
Note 3 - Investments
As of February 28, 1995 and November 30, 1995, investments are carried
at value, which, for readily marketable securities are related to
market quotations. Investments in restricted securities and securities
which are not readily marketable are carried at fair value determined
by the Board of Directors.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Analysis of Results of Operations
Prior to fiscal 1987, the Company was engaged in the camera and photography
business. On February 28, 1986, the Company sold its operating business to an
affiliated company and since that date the Company's principal activity has been
the making of investments in other companies.
At November 30, 1995, the Company had total assets of $1,634,000 compared
to total assets of $1,568,000 as at February 28, 1995. Included in total assets
at such dates were investments in securities of $1,621,000 for the nine month
period ended November 30, 1995 and $1,489,000 for the year ended February 28,
1995. Shareholders equity at such dates was ($361,000) for the nine month period
ended November 30, 1995 and ($299,000) for the year ended February 28, 1995.
Gain on investments amounted to $88,000 for the nine month period ended November
30, 1995 as compared to a gain of $205,000 for the nine month period ended
November 30, 1994. Included in such gains (losses) were $14,000 of realized gain
and $74,000 of unrealized gain for the nine month period ended November 30, 1995
compared to $10,000 of realized gain and $195,000 of unrealized gain for the
nine month period ended November 30, 1994. Operating expenses, including
interest charges, amounted to $178,000 for the 1995 nine month period and
$208,000 for the 1994 nine month period. Income (loss) from operations, both
before and after provision for taxes, was ($61,000) for the nine month period
ended November 30, 1995 compared to $19,000 for the nine month period ended
November 30, 1994. Net earnings (loss) per share were ($0.03) for the 1995 nine
month period compared to a gain of $0.01 for the comparable 1994 period. The
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at November 30,
1995 was 2,381,250 and 2,395,794 at November 30, 1994.
Analysis of Financial Condition
The near term liquidity of the Company, as well as its near term capital
resources position, are presently principally dependent upon: (i) the market
value and future ability of the Company to sell its position in Energy Research,
Inc. and Nematron Corp.; and (ii) the continued willingness, as to which there
can be no assurance whatsoever, of the members of the Globus family who have
made loans to the Company (chiefly Stephen E. Globus) to continue to make loans
to the Company. Thus, loans payable by the Company (including accrued interest)
to Messrs. Stephen E. and Richard D. Globus amounted to $689,000 at November 30,
1995, a decrease of $73,000 from $762,000 at February 28, 1995. This decrease
was due to a $70,000 loan repayment to Stephen E. Globus, a $49,500 charge to
the two officers/shareholders loans for general and administrative costs and use
by them of the Company's office and personnel for the nine month period
(reference is made to Note G of Form 10K for the year ended February 28, 1995);
which decrease was somewhat offset by an increase of $27,000 in such loans, plus
accrued interest of approximately $20,000. As at November 30, 1995, loans
payable to another member of the Globus family, to wit: Ms. Jane Globus (the
mother of Stephen E. and Richard D. Globus), amounted to approximately $396,000,
including accrued interest. An additional factor affecting the Company's
liquidity position during the nine-month period ending November 30, 1995 was the
purchase of new and the making of additional investments (i.e., Kimeragen, Inc.
and Proscure, Inc.).
<PAGE>
The Company pledged 20,000 shares of Energy Research Corporation in March
1995 and an additional 10,000 shares in May 1995 as collateral for a loan from
Loeb Partners in the amount of $150,000, plus approximately $8,000 for interest
expense during the nine month period ended November 30, 1995. This loan was
reduced by approximately $28,000 of sales proceeds of Energy Research
Corporation in September 1995.
There are in fact presently no known events that can be considered
reasonably certain to occur which would materially change favorably either the
short term or long term liquidity (i.e., ability of the Company to generate
adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash) or capital resources
position (i.e., source of funds) of the Company from that in which it presently
finds itself, and, absent possible sales of stock of Energy Research, Inc. and
of Nematron Corporation and continuation of the presently existing loans without
call for payment, or additional loans, from the Globus family, the present
liquidity and capital resources position of the Company necessarily adversely
affects the financial condition of the Company and its ability to make new
investments. In such connection it must be noted that: the profitability of a
BDC, like the Company, is largely dependent upon its ability to make investments
and upon increases in the value of its investments; and a BDC is also subject to
a number of risks which are not generally present in an operating company, and
which are discussed generally in Item 1 of the Company's 10K Report for its
fiscal year ended February 28, 1995, to which Item reference is hereby made.
Reference is also hereby made to Item 1 and Item 7 of such Report and to the
Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in such Report for information
concerning the Company's investments and its financial condition.
