  Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors,
  officers and certain stockholders to file with the Commission an initial
  statement of beneficial ownership and certain statements of changes in
  beneficial ownership of equity securities of the Company.  Based solely on its
  review of such forms received by it, the Company is unaware of any instances
  of noncompliance, or late compliance, with such filings during the fiscal year
  ended September 30, 1996, by its officers, directors or stockholders.

Option Grants in last Fiscal Year

    The following table shows all grants of options to the Named Executive
Officers of the Company in 1996.  The options were granted as individual grants
and/or under a stock option plan.  Pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC ") rules, the table also shows the value of the options
granted at the end of the option terms (ten years) if the stock price were to
appreciate annually by 5% and 10%, respectively.  There is no assurance that the
stock price will appreciate at the rates shown in the table.  The table also
indicates that if the stock price does not appreciate, there will be no increase
in the potential realizable value of the options granted.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT
- --------                                      

     The Company leases vehicles from Marcar Leasing Corporation ("Marcar"), a
corporation engaged in general leasing to the public of machinery, as well as
vehicles, owned by members of E.J. Elliott's immediate family, including John E.
Elliott and Marc G. Elliott.  The terms of the leases are established based on
the rates charged by independent leasing organizations and are believed by the
Board of Directors to be more favorable than those generally available from
independent third parties.  Leases between the Company and Marcar generally

                                      -7-

annum.  On September 13, 1996, the Trust Fund made an additional loan to the
