Item 1 - Description of Business
- --------------------------------

  (a)  General Development of Business
       -------------------------------

      Megatech Corporation (Megatech or the Company) was established in 1970 
and is engaged in the production and sale of educational training programs 
and equipment in the energy  power and transportation areas sold 
domestically and internationally to educational institutions and government 
agencies.

      Megatech manufactures educational training equipment which consist of 
modular technology workstations which are designed to provide students with 
hands-on experience working with various technologies such as: automotive, 
environmental, fiber-optic, microwave, laser, alternate energies, 
electronic, personal computer kits and multi-media. In conjunction with the 
educational equipment, Megatech produces over 200 video training programs 
and student manuals which enable students to follow a self-paced self-guided 
program to learn the technologies described above.

      The Company competes with a number of major suppliers of school 
training equipment and several small single product line companies through 
the uniqueness of its products, and the quality of its training programs.  
Most of the sales to states, cities, towns and school districts are the 
results of having submitted sealed bids and having been awarded the sale 
based on being the lowest bidder, directly or through independent sales rep 
organizations.

      There were two customers which accounted for 26% of total sales for 
the year ended December 31, 1996.  One customer accounted for 20% and 15% of 
sales for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1995, respectively.  No 
other customers accounted for more than 10% of sales in each of the years 
ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

      Approximately 33%, 22% and 25% of sales during the years ended 
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were from international 
sales.

      The Company's backlog as of December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996 
was $588,247 and $ 246,416, respectively.

      As of December 31, 1997, the Company had 13 full-time and 6 part-time 
employees, in addition to it's independent domestic and international sales

Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
      and Results of Operation
      ------------------------

      1997 Compared with 1996
      -----------------------

      Sales for 1997 decreased from the corresponding period of 1996 by $ 
0.1 million or 5%, to $2.1 million.  This decrease was primarily due to a 
decrease in overall sales volume.  Domestic sales in 1997 were $ 1.4 million 
or 67% of total sales, compared to $ 1.7 million or 78% of total sales in 
1996.  International sales in 1997 were $0.7 million or 33% of total sales, 
compared to $ 0.5 million or 22% of total sales in 1996.  The Company 
believes that the decrease in overall sales is due to declining domestic 
sales.

      Gross profit for 1997 decreased from the corresponding period of 1996 
by $0.05 million, or 5%, to $0.9 million.  As a percentage of total sales, 
gross profit remained steady at 41% for 1997 and 1996.  Currently, there are 
no known future increases in costs of materials, labor or other price 
increases which could have an effect on sales other than normal inflation 
increases.

      Selling and marketing expenses for 1997 increased from the 
corresponding period of 1996 by approximately $ 0.01 million or 1% to $ 0.8 
million.  As a percentage of total sales, selling and marketing expenses 
increased to 38% for 1997 compared to 36% for 1996.  The increase is 
primarily due to changes in marketing staff.

      General and administrative expenses for 1997 decreased from the 
corresponding period of 1996 by $.01 million, or 6% to $0.18 million.  As a 
percentage of total sales, G & A expenses remained steady at 8.7% for 1997 
and 1996.  The decrease of G & A expenses are a result of changes in office 
staff.

      Research and development expenses for 1997 decreased from the 
corresponding period of 1996 by $.011 million, or 36% to $.02 million.  As a 
percentage of total sales, R & D expenses decreased to 0.95% for 1997 
compared to 1.4% for 1996.  The decrease of R & D expenses are a result of a 
decrease in product development costs.

      Loss from operations for 1997 as compared to the same period of 1996 
increased by $ .03 million.  As a percentage of total sales, operating 
losses increased to 6.2% for 1997 compared to 4.3% for 1996.  The operating 
losses are a result of the factors indicated above.

      1996 Compared with 1995
      -----------------------

      Sales for 1996 decreased from the corresponding period of 1995 by $ 
0.6 million or 22%, to $2.2 million.  This decrease was primarily due to a 
decrease in overall sales volume.  Domestic sales in 1996 were $ 1.7 million 
or 78% of total sales, compared to $ 2.1 million or 75% of total sales in 
1995.  International sales in 1996 were $0.5 million or 22% of total sales, 
compared to $ 0.7 million or 25% of total sales in 1995.  The Company 
believes that the decrease in overall sales is due to declining sales in 
Technology Education and International sales.

      Gross profit for 1996 decreased from the corresponding period of 1995 
by $0.3 million, or 25%, to $0.9 million.  As a percentage of total sales, 
gross profit was 41% for 1996 as compared to 43% in 1995.  The decrease in 
gross margins is due to lower overall sales, and higher sales in resale type 
items, which typically have lower margins to be competitive.  Currently, 
there are no known future increases in costs of materials, labor or other 
price increases which could have an effect on sales other than normal 
inflation increases.

      Selling and marketing expenses for 1996 decreased from the 
corresponding period of 1995 by approximately $ 0.2 million or 18% to $ 0.8 
million.  As a percentage of total sales, selling and marketing expenses 
increased to 36% for 1996 compared to 34% for 1995.  The increase is 
primarily due to lower overall sales.

      General and administrative expenses for 1996 decreased from the 
corresponding period of 1995 by $.05 million, or 23% to $0.19 million.  As a 
percentage of total sales, G & A expenses decreased to 8.7% for 1996 
compared to 8.8% for 1995.  The decrease of G & A expenses are a result of 
reduction in office staff.

      Research and development expenses for 1996 decreased from the 
corresponding period of 1995 by $.025 million, or 44% to $.03 million.  As a 
percentage of total sales, R & D expenses decreased to 1.4% for 1996 
compared to 2% for 1995.  The decrease of R & D expenses are a result of a 
reduction in staff.

      Loss from operations for 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995 
increased by $ .04 million.  As a percentage of total sales, operating 
losses increased to 4.2% for 1996 compared to 1.6% for 1995.  The operating 
losses are a result of the factors indicated above.


      Liquidity and capital resources
      -------------------------------

      Working capital at December 31, 1997 was $452,364 as compared to 
$556,219 in working capital at December 31, 1996.  The decrease was 
attributable to the net loss for the year ended December 31, 1997.

      The Company maintains a $ 200,000 line-of-credit agreement with a 
bank.  The line is collateralized by a security interest in substantially 
all assets of the Company.  Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime 
rate plus 1.5%.  Borrowings outstanding  on this line were $25,000 at 
December 31, 1997.  There were no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 
1996.

      There is no long term debt or other notes payable outstanding at 
December 31, 1997.

      Capital expenditures totaled approximately $13,000 in 1997 and $5,000 
in 1996.  No material purchase or capital commitments exist at December 31, 
1997.

      The Company believes that cash generated from operations, together 
with the existing sources of debt financing, will be sufficient to meet 
foreseeable cash requirements through 1998.

      been no disagreements with Gordon, Harrington & Osborn, P.C. on any 
      matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement or 
      auditing scope or procedure or any reporting events.

      statements for the past two years contained no adverse opinion or 
      disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to 
      uncertainty audit scope or accounting principles.

such transactions for the year ended December 31, 1995.

      The Company has entered into a lease agreement for its Tewksbury, 
Massachusetts facility with Lorig Corporation, which is owned by members of 
the family of an officer and majority stockholder of the Company.  The 
Company believes the lease agreement  is either favorable or comparable to 
others based on a market value of the facility.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
             --------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Megatech Corporation

      We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Megatech Corporation 
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the statements of operations, 
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These 
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free 
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe our audits provide a 
reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present 
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Megatech 
Corporation as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its 
operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

      Our audit, referred to above, also includes the 1997 and 1996 
financial schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a)(2).  In our opinion, 
based on our audit, such 1997 and 1996 financial schedules present fairly 
the information required to be set forth therein.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
             --------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
  Megatech Corporation

      We have audited the accompanying statements of operations, 
stockholders' equity and cash flows of Megatech Corporation for the year 
ended December 31, 1995.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

      We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows are free of material misstatement.  An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the statements of operations, stockholders' equity
and cash flows.  We believe that our audit of the statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flows provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the statements of operations, stockholders' equity and 
cash flows referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
results of operations and cash flows of Megatech Corporation for the year 
ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

      Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedules listed in the 
Index at Item 14(a)(2) are presented for the purpose of additional analysis 
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements.  Such 
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the 
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly 
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial 
statements taken as a whole.

                            MEGATECH CORPORATION

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

                            --------------------
                                                

1.    OPERATIONS

            Megatech Corporation is engaged in the production and sale of 
      educational training programs in the energy, power and transportation 
      areas which are sold domestically and internationally to educational 
      institutions and government agencies.  Inherent in the line of 
      business in which the Company is engaged, is the risk of product line 
      obsolescence due to technological advances.  There also exists the 
      risk that certain customers, such as governmental agencies, which are 
      funded by tax revenues, may be subject to budget reductions.  The 
      Company grants credit to its customers.  Approximately 33%, 22% and 
      25% of sales during the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, 
      respectively, were from international sales.

            There were two customers which accounted for 26% of sales for 
      the year ended December 31, 1996.  One customer accounted for 20% and 
      15% of sales for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1995, 
      respectively.  No other customers accounted for more than 10% of sales 
      in each of the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Use of Estimates
      ----------------

            The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
      generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 
      estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets 
      and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities 
      at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of 
      revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results 
      could differ from those estimates.

      Revenue Recognition
      -------------------

            Revenue from product sales are recognized upon shipment.  
      Revenue for maintenance and service and other revenues are recognized 
      as the services are performed.

      Cash and Cash Equivalents
      -------------------------

            For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents 
      include cash and all highly liquid investments with original 
      maturities of three months or less.

      Inventories
      -----------

            Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in-first-out 
      method) or market.

      Property and Equipment
      ----------------------

            Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation and 
      amortization are computed principally on the straight-line method for 
      financial accounting purposes, and accelerated methods for tax 
      purposes, over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

            Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line method 
      over their respective lives or the lease terms, whichever is shorter.

            Costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to expense while 
      costs of significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

      Income Taxes
      ------------

            Amounts in the financial statements related to income taxes are 
      calculated using the principles of Financial Accounting Standards 
      Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109).  
      Under SFAS 109, prepaid and deferred taxes reflect the impact of 
      temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities 
      recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized 
      for tax purposes as well as tax credit carryforwards and loss 
      carryforwards.  These deferred taxes are measured by applying 
      currently enacted tax rates.  A valuation allowance is used to reduce 
      deferred tax assets when it is "more likely than not" that some 
      portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

3.    INVENTORIES

8.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

            The Company has an agreement with Cramer Production Company, 
      Inc. (Cramer) of Norwood, Massachusetts to produce a series of 
      instructional video tapes supporting modular technology programs 
      offered by the Company.  An officer/shareholder of Cramer is a 
      director of the Company.  Cramer is responsible under the agreement 
      for all video production and video cassette reproduction.  The 
      videotapes are exclusively marketed by the Company.  The Company 
      provides scripts for the modules, technical representatives, program 
      materials and is also responsible for packaging, design and promotion. 
      Purchases from Cramer under this agreement, included in cost of sales, 
      were approximately $30,200, $28,900 and $51,900 for the years ended 
      December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

            During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, sales to a 
      related entity were approximately $500 and $63,200.  Commissions paid 
      to the same entity were approximately $26,000 and $15,900, 
      respectively.  There were no such transactions during the year ended 
      December 31, 1995.

9.    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

            During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted a 
      SIMPLE IRA Plan (the Plan), which covers all employees who meet 
      certain requirements.  Under the terms of the Plan, the Board of 
      Directors determines annually the amount of the matching contribution. 
      The matching contribution for the year ended December 31, 1997 was 
      $2,365.

10.   NET LOSS PER SHARE

            Basic net loss per share has been computed in accordance with 
      SFAS 128 using the weighted average number of common shares 
      outstanding.  The provisions and disclosure requirements for SFAS 128 
      were required to be adopted for interim and annual periods ending 
      after December 15, 1997, with restatement of earnings per share for 
      prior periods.

            Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all dilutive 
      potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.  The 
      Company had a net loss for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 
      1995; therefore, none of the options outstanding at period end were 
      included in the diluted net loss per share calculation for the years 
      ended December 31,1997, 1996 and 1995, since they were anti-dilutive.

            The weighted average number of shares outstanding is as follows:
