that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of

the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.  
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2)  Cash and cash equivalents
     ------------------------- 

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash equivalents include 
certificate of deposit, money market accounts and highly liquid debt 
instruments with maturities of three months or less at the date of 
acquisition.

The Company's cash is deposited with four local financial institution.  At 
February 28, 1999 and 1998 the Company had deposits in two of these financial

retained by GLP as its compensation.  The balance is deposited with Hawaiian 
Trust Company, Limited to be held in trust.  GLP is entitled to all earnings

(5)  Related party transactions
     --------------------------

On July 7, 1998, the Company in partnership with Woolsey Funeral & Cemetery 
Services, Inc. formed Woolsey-Hosoi Mortuary Services, LLC (Woolsey-Hosoi), a 
limited liability company, to provide funeral services to market sectors not 
previously serviced by the Company.  The Company's initial capital 
contribution in Woolsey-Hosoi is $15,000.

The Company provides Woolsey-Hosoi with embalming services, assistance with 
funeral arrangements, use of its facilities and related charges.  The revenues

(6)  Deferred income taxes
     ---------------------

Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and 
liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes.  The deferred 
assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those 
differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and 
liabilities are recovered or settled.  The deferred tax liability results from 
the recognition of unrealized gains, net of losses, on securities for 
financial statements and recognition of gains or losses when securities are 
sold for income tax purpos es, the inclusion of deferred earnings on an annuity 
policy for financial statements and the recognition of the earnings when 
received for tax purposes and the equity method of accounting for the 
investment in subsidiary as explained under Garden Life Plan, Ltd. above.  
Under the equity method, the Company's share of earnings of the subsidiary is 
reported for tax purposes only when distributions of earnings are received as 
dividends.  At February 28, 1999 the Company's retained earnings included 
approximately $2,258,280 of undistributed earnings of GLP.

accounting for uncollectible accounts receivable in the financial statements 
and the use of the direct write off method for income tax purpose, the accrual 
of the retroactive rent for financial statements purposes and the recognition 
of the rent expense when paid for income tax purposes and the accrual of 
vacation and sick leave when earned for the financial statements and the 
recognition for income tax purposes when paid.

(10) Year 2000 Issue
     ---------------

As of February 28, 1999, the Company has not devoted any significant efforts 
toward assessment of its Year 2000 issues and had not incurred any significant 
costs related to its Year 2000 issues.

During 1999 the Company will initiate assessment of its exposure to Year 2000 
issues.  Its assessment will focus on the following areas:

1. Assessment of its internal hardware, software and embedded systems.  It 
   is anticipated that most of the Company's hardware and software will be 
   replaced with Year 2000 compliant third-party systems.  It is not expected 
   that embedded systems will have a major effect on the Company's operations.

2. Identification of major suppliers and other third-parties to understand 
   their ability to continue providing products and services through the change 
   to 2000.

It is expected that costs related to the Year 2000 issue will be funded 
through operating cash flow.  The Company presently believes that the total 
cost of achieving Year 2000 compliant systems is not expected to be material 
to its financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
