                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1:  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The interim financial  information for the three months ended March 31,
1999  included  herein is unaudited  and the December 31, 1998 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 March 31,
1999 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 periods ending
March  31,  1999 and  1998.  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 March 31, 1999 vs. 1998

         Net  income  from  operations  decreased  $371,000  or 32% in the first
quarter of 1999  compared  to the first  quarter of 1998.  Compared  to the same
period in 1998, net income from U.S.  explosives  operations  decreased $171,000
primarily  due  to  Green  Mountain  Explosives,  Inc.  (GME),  a  wholly  owned
subsidiary  acquired in December 1998.  Normal seasonal effects and poor weather
conditions  in the North  Eastern  U.S.  during the period  delayed  much of the
construction  activity  from which GME  generates  revenues.  The results of GME
operations  are  expected to  improve,  and it is  anticipated  that the loss of
income  during the period  will be  regained in the 2nd and 3rd quarter of 1999.
GME revenues for April alone are expected to approach $900,000.  Income from the
Company's  Colombian  joint venture  decreased  $156,000 as continued lower coal
prices caused the joint  venture's  largest  customer to curtail  production for
spot market sales until rail and port  facilities  are  completed to  facilitate
economic  transportation.  Income from royalties  decreased $179,000 or 40%. The
majority of the decrease in royalty income occurred because of a transition in a
contract with a South Korean  company.  The contract  contained  higher start-up
related  revenues,  occurring in 1st quarter 1998,  which  transitioned to lower
revenues related to a steady state of production during the 1st quarter of 1999.
Royalty  income was also  affected  by the  decrease  in  production  from other
licensees.

         Net sales  revenue  increased by $1,032,000 or 19% for the three months
ended March 31, 1999  compared to the same  period in 1998.  This  increase  was
primarily  related  to 1st  quarter  revenues  from  GME of  $1,019,000.  Of the
$275,000, or 91% increase in general administrative expenses, $246,000 or 81% of
the increase from the prior period  consists of the  administrative  expenses of
GME.  Other expenses  increased  from the prior period by $78,000.  The increase
consists  primarily of an increase in exchange losses of $40,000 and an increase
in interest expense of $40,000 due primarily to the acquisition of GME.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company had $680,000 owing on its line of credit at March 31, 1999.
During the three months  ended March 31, 1999,  the Company had utilized as much
as $1,199,000  of its line of credit.  Interest  expense  related to the line of
credit was $8,000 for the period  compared to no  interest  expense for the same
period in 1998.  The line of credit was primarily used to increase the Company's
investment in its Kovdor,  Russia joint venture and to fund the  construction of
the  manufacturing  facility  of its wholly  owned  subsidiary,  O'Brien  Design
Associates, Inc.

         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.
