                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The interim financial  information for the three-months  ended June 30,
1998 and the six-months ended June 30, 1998 included herein is unaudited and the
December  31,1997  Balance Sheet is derived from audited  financial  statements;
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-Q and  consequently  may not include all the
disclosures normally required by the generally accepted accounting principles or
those normally made in the annual 10-K filing. Financial information relating to
depreciation contained in the Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations  are  incorporated  by reference  into these
notes.

         The results of  operations  for the  three-month  period ended June 30,
1998 and the six-month period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2:   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

         Because of the  increasing  investment of the Company in joint ventures
("JV" or "JV's") which are not consolidated,  but accounted for under the equity
method,  the  following   comparative   schedule  is  prepared  to  clarify  and
demonstrate the  Consolidated  Revenue of the Company during the three-month and
six-month  periods  ending  June  30,  1998 and  1997.  As  demonstrated  in the
schedule,  the Company's  consolidated  Revenue  includes its share of equity in
earnings from JV's:

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

Three-months ended June 30, 1998 vs. 1997

         Net income after tax for the second  quarter of 1998 was 15% lower than
the second quarter of 1997 because the effective  income tax rate for the second
quarter of 1998 was 28%  compared  to the  effective  rate of 15% for the second
quarter  of  1997.  This  was due to  prior  period  carry-forward  credits  and
allowances used in 1997.

          Net  income  from  operations  for the  second  quarter  of  1998  was
approximately  the same as the second quarter of 1997 while  revenues  increased
8.6%.  Gross margins for the second quarter of 1998 were 26.2% compared to 29.5%
for the same  quarter in 1997  largely  due to  decreased  prices in the cyanide
operations.  However,  the second quarter 1998 gross margin  increased 2.9% over
the first quarter 1998, showing operational improvement.  Revenue from explosive
sales grew 20.7% for the second  quarter of 1998 compared to the same quarter in
1997.  It is expected  that license fee income will continue to decline as South
Africa and  Australia  continue to have  weakening  currencies  against the U.S.
dollar.  However, income from joint ventures should continue to grow at a faster
pace than such  declines in royalties and license  fees.  Joint  venture  equity
income  was down only 1.1% in  comparing  the  second  quarter  of 1998 with the
second quarter of 1997. The explosive joint ventures  increased  equity earnings
$294,000 while the cyanide joint venture  decreased  equity earnings by $311,000
in comparing the second  quarter 1998 to the second  quarter 1997.  The $311,000
decrease is primarily due to reduction of cyanide  prices and volume as the gold
mines high graded  their ore deposits to reduce  operating  costs in response to
lower gold prices.  The Company  also  expects the cyanide  business to increase
during the remainder of 1998 assuming gold prices remain  sufficiently stable or
increase. The Company's cyanide joint venture is prepared to aggressively market
its product to reach plant capacity.  The Company's  explosive joint ventures in
Colombia and  Uzbekistan  are productive and are expected to continue to grow in
revenues  and  income  contribution.  The  Company's  joint  venture in Ghana is
operating at a loss due to low volume and price erosion from pressure associated
with  weakening  gold  prices.  The joint  venture  expects to be operating at a
profit by year-end through significantly reducing operating costs and increasing
sales. The Company expects continued revenue growth and income contribution from
explosives in the U.S. and  international  joint ventures during 1998,  assuming
world economies remain stable or continue to improve.

         The Company has entered  into a second  joint  venture  agreement  with
Norsk Hydro to provide  explosives and services to Kovdorsky GOK, located on the
Kola  Peninsula of Russia.  Kovdorsky GOK mines iron ore and phosphate  rock for
sale primarily to other western countries under long-term contracts. The Company
anticipates  the joint venture will generate  revenue of over $25 million over a
seven-year contract period


Six-months ended June 30, 1998 vs. 1997

         Gross margins  decreased from 30.1% for the six-month period ended June
30, 1997 to 24.8% for the  six-month  period ended June 30,  1998.  The decrease
results  primarily  from the  cumulative  effect of lower gross margins from the
first quarter of 1998. The domestic and Canadian explosive operations had a 4.4%
increase in operating  margins  during the six-month  period ended June 30, 1998
compared to the same period in 1997. The increased  margins  should  continue to
increase during the last half of 1998 as the Eastern U.S. explosives  operations
become  profitable.  The Company continues to grow as total revenue increased 4%
for the  six-months  ended June 30, 1998  compared with the same period in 1997.
Revenues in the domestic and Canadian explosive operations increased 11% in that
same period.  The decrease in royalties  and license fee income during the first
six-months of 1998 was more than offset by joint  venture  revenue in explosives
which  increased  76% while equity  income  increased  $413,000 from $176,000 in
comparing  the  six-months  ended June 30, 1998 to the same period in 1997.  The
cyanide joint venture  equity  earnings  decreased  $719,000 when  comparing the
six-month  period  ended June 30, 1998 to the  six-month  period  ended June 30,
1997. However, in comparing the second quarter 1998 cyanide equity earnings with
the first quarter 1998 equity  earnings  there was an improvement of $363,000 or
39.6%.

         The effective  income tax rate for the six-month  period ended June 30,
1998 was 30% compared to 24% for the six-month  period ended June 30, 1997.  The
difference  in the  effective  tax rate was  from the use of  carry-forward  tax
credits and allowances used in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company  continued to strengthen its financial  position during the
first  six-months of 1998. With a strong balance sheet reporting a current ratio
(current  assets  divided  by  current  liabilities)  of  3.5  to  1  and  total
liabilities to stockholders equity of 0.2 to 1. The Company has a revolving line
of credit  with its bank in Salt Lake  City,  Utah in the  amount of  $2,250,000
bearing  interest  at the bank's  prime rate less 3/4% or LIBOR plus 2.2% and an
equipment line of credit of $1,250,000 bearing interest at the bank's prime rate
less 3/4% or LIBOR plus 2.2% secured by  equipment.  $1,000,000 of the revolving
line of credit is available to be used for the increasing  demand for Letters of
Credit  internationally.  On July 28, 1998,  the Company had no balance owing on
any of its lines of credit. During the second quarter of 1998 the revolving line
of  credit  was not  utilized.  There  was no  interest  expense  for the  first
six-months of 1998 compared to $25,000 in the first six-months of 1997.

         The  Company  invested   $3,005,000  in  7-day   nontaxable   municipal
high-grade  securities  in the second  quarter of 1998 with the  expectation  to
utilize much of this resource in several  international  transactions during the
remainder of 1998.  Joint Ventures  distributed  $3,037,000  cash and had equity
earnings of  $2,661,000  resulting  in  $376,000  distribution  of prior  period
earnings.  Property,  plant  and  equipment  at June 30,  1998  was  $10,640,000
compared to $10,514,000 at June 30, 1997.  Accumulated  depreciation at June 30,
1998 was $6,362,000 compared to $5,900,000 at June 30, 1997.

         Within this Quarterly Report filed on Form 10-Q, including this Item 2,
there are  forward-looking  statements made in an effort to inform the reader of
factors  and  results  which,  in  management's  opinion,  are likely to have an
ongoing  material  effect on the Company.  The actual  results and factors could
materially differ from those indicated in the statements made.

         In  management's  opinion,  the  capital  resources  of the Company are
adequate to finance  its  business  activity  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.
