                    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

	The financial information included herein is unaudited; however, such
information reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

        These consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance
with the requirements for Form 10-QSB and consequently may not include all
the disclosures normally required by the generally accepted accounting
principles or those normally made in the annual 10-KSB filing.  Financial
information relating to debts, interest expense, and depreciation contained
in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations are incorporated by reference into these notes. Certain
accounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to conform
with the current period presentation in 1997.

        The results of operations for the three-month period and six-month
period ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2:   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	The financial statements reflect the investment in joint ventures of
which the Company owns 50% or less under the equity method of accounting and
the equity net income from joint ventures is reported in revenue from
operations.

	Combined financial information for significant joint ventures reported
in the financials under the equity method of accounting is summarized on a 100%
basis as follows:

                         For the Six-month Period   For the Three-month Period
                            Ending June 30,                Ending June 30,
Results for the Quarter    1997         1996           1997           1996

        The joint ventures report "gross profit" as income from operations.
"Net Income" exceeds "gross profit" due primarily to interest income on cash
invested in short-term investments.

Item 2	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

	The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain 
significant factors which have affected the Company's financial position and 
operating results during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated 
financial statements of June 30, 1997.

Second Quarter 1997 vs. 1996
- ----------------------------
        Income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended
June 30, 1997 increased $270,000  or 21% over income before provision for
income taxes for the same three-month period in 1996 primarily due to increased
equity earnings from joint ventures reported under the equity method and
increased royalties and license fee income.  During the quarter a technology
license and service agreement was reached with Hanwha Corporation from the
Republic of Korea from which the company will receive $400,000 in the first
year and quarterly payments over ten years with an estimated value of the
contract of $1.2 million.

        Total revenues for the Company increased $936,000 or 16% comparing the 
second quarter of 1997 with the second quarter of 1996.  Operating margins 
increased about 2% during the same period due primarily to increased equity 
earnings from joint ventures reported in revenue.  Royalties and license fee 
income increased 67% in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second 
quarter of 1996 primarily due to initial payments from Hanwha Corporation and 
certain technology fees received from the Colombia joint venture.

        Research and development costs have decreased $63,000 in comparing the 
second quarter of 1997 with the second quarter of 1996 as efforts have 
temporarily shifted from research and development to start-up activities.

Six-months ended June 30, 1997 vs. 1996
- ---------------------------------------
        Income before provision for income taxes for the six months ended June
30, 1997 increased $964,000 or 42% over income before provision for income
taxes for the same six month period in 1996 primarily due to increased equity 
earnings from the Cyanco and Colombia joint ventures and increased royalties 
and license fee income from international activities.

        Total revenues for the Company increased $1,980,000 or 17% comparing
the first six-months of 1997 with the first six-months of 1996 while operating 
margins increased $994,000 representing an increase in the operating margin of 
approximately 4.5%, from 18.7% to 23.2%.  This change in operating margin is 
due to increasing equity income from joint ventures in relation to sales and 
royalty/license fee income.

        General and administrative expenses increased $120,000 from the first
six-months of  1997 compared to the first six-months of 1996 due to increased 
accrued expenses related to employee costs.  Research and Development costs 
have decreased $125,000 comparing the first six-months of 1997 with the first 
six-months of 1996 as efforts have temporarily shifted from research and 
development to start-up activities.

        Cyanco should continue expanding sales to fill increased capacity
through marketing efforts and growth in existing accounts.  The Colombian joint
venture is expected to add significant growth to revenues and income during
1997.  EMGEL? sales have steadily increased since the first of the year and are
expected to continue to increase sales and gross margin for the second half of 
1997.  Several of the existing bulk accounts are expected to increase the usage
of MSI's proprietary explosives.  During 1997 the Company will continue to 
seek investments in joint ventures and expanding operations in various market
niches throughout the world in both explosives and cyanide.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
	The primary source for the Company's financial resources is from 
operations.  The Company has a revolving line of credit with its bank in Salt 
Lake City, Utah in the amount of $2,000,000 bearing interest at the bank's
prime rate, an equipment line of credit of $1,000,000 bearing interest at the
bank's prime rate secured by equipment, and a working capital line of credit
for $500,000 at the bank's prime rate secured by the new corporate office
building. As of August 7, 1997, the Company has no balance owing on any of its
lines of credit.  During the second quarter the revolving line of credit was
utilized up to $671,000.  Interest expense for the first six-months of 1997 was 
$25,000 compared to $36,000 in the first six-months of 1996.  The $819,000 
increase in accounts receivable is due primarily to the receivables created
from the sales of equipment, supplies, and services to the Colombia joint
venture and increased product sales. Accounts payable increased $443,000 and
was primarily related to accruals for the expansion in the West Virginia
facility and for employment related costs. Capital expenditures for the
six-months ended June 30, 1997 was $1,998,000 compared to $1,380,000 for the
same period in 1996, an increase of $618,000 due primarily to the construction
of corporate offices and continued investment in joint ventures.  Property,
plant and equipment at June 30, 1997 was $10,514,000 compared to $9,161,000 at
June 30, 1996. Accumulated depreciation at June 30, 1997 was $5,900,000
compared to $6,205,000 at June 30, 1996.

        In management's opinion, the capital resources of the Company are
adequate to finance its business activity in the short term as well as the
long term assuming the current political, financial, and economic environment
continues.  In the long term, the results of operations and the liquidity of
the Company's resources could be impacted by factors such as political risks,
capital availability, changes in taxation, inflation, and foreign exchange.
Consequently, the Company cannot determine the ultimate effect that current
products and strategies will have on long-term net sales, earnings, or stock
price.
