                         QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999

NOTE A - CASH, NOTES PAYABLE AND COMMON STOCK

In June 1998, the Company acquired Vitsab, AB, a Swedish corporation in exchange
for  3,375,734  shares of the  Company's  unregistered  common  stock  valued at
$843,933  or $0.25 per share and 950,000  shares of the common  stock of VITSAB,
USA,  Inc., a previously  wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company with 4,750,000
issued shares of common stock  outstanding and the assumption of certain debt in
the amount of $2,300,000 owed by VITSAB, AB to an unrelated company. The Company
borrowed  $1,750,000  from a bank under two notes and  security  agreements  and
liquidated the referenced $2,300,000 for the discounted sum of $1,750,000.

The Company has pledged a  $1,000,000  certificate  of deposit  with the lending
bank as collateral for the $1,750,000  borrowed funds. The loans are all due and
payable  within  one year  from  June  1998.  Under  the  terms of the notes and
security  agreements  the  Company is  obligated  to make  eleven  (11)  monthly

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At January 31, 1999 the Company had a working  capital of $2,835,526.  This is a
decrease of  $1,946,720  for the nine  months  period May 1, 1998 to January 31,
1999.  This was  primarily  due to the debt of  $1,750,000  incurred  to acquire
Visual Indicator Systems, AB of Sweden (Vitsab, AB) in June 1998.

The Company did incur  increased  long-term debt of $504,510  during the year to
date and  investment in property and  equipment  increased  $2,927,947  with the
acquisition of Vitsab, AB. At present,  cash flow from operations is adequate to
meet the cash requirements and commitments of the Company.  However, the Company
plans to enter into equity,  debt or other  financing  arrangements  to meet its
future financial needs for expansion and:

      (a)   To provide for general working capital needs including the servicing
            of the Vitsab, AB, acquisition debt and operations

      (b)   To repay outstanding liabilities

COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999 AND 1998

Net loss for the third  fiscal  quarter  ended  January  31,1999  was $10,753 as
compared  to a net  earnings  of  $62,907  for the  same  period  of  1998.  The
consolidated  loss from  operations for the third quarter ended January 31, 1999
was $102,965 as compared to income of $67,134 for 1998.

TEMPERATURE RECORDER OPERATIONS

Sales  increased  $434,088 or 23% in 1999 as compared to the 1998 third  quarter
operations. Cost of sales was 50.1% for 1999 as compared to 49.6% for 1998. This
was primarily due to costs of the new visual tag indicator  operations.  General
and  Administrative  expense  increased  $224,648 or 44% in 1999 over 1998. This
increase was due primarily to R & D expenses  pertaining to new products and the
Vitsab, AB operations.  The increase in interest expense for 1999 as compared to
1998 resulted from indebtedness  incurred in the acquisition of Vitsab,  AB. The
increase in depreciation  and  amortization of $52,160 was due to the visual tag
indicator operations.

OIL PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

Loss from operations  increased  slightly by $9,690 in 1999 as compared to 1998.
This was  primarily  due to general  and  administrative  expense  increases  in
professional  fees and  salaries.  Other  income in 1999 was  realized  from the
settlement of indebtedness at less than the recorded liability.

Net earnings increased $181,698 in 1999 over the net loss of $48,307 in 1998.

TEMPERATURE RECORDER OPERATIONS

Net  earnings  decreased  $660,205  for the nine months of the  current  year as
compared  to the same  prior year  period.  The  decrease  was due to the visual
indicator tag operations including R & D expenses.

Sales increased $828,898 or 13% in 1999 over the 1998 period. Cost of sales as a
percent of sales was 50% for 1999 and 47.7% for 1998. General and administrative
expenses,  as a  percentage  of sales was 26.9% in 1999 as  compared to 22.9% in
1998.  Sales  expense,  as a  percent  of sales was 15.3% for 1999 and 15.4% for
1998.  Interest,  depreciation  and  depletion  were 35.1% for 1999 and 1.0% for
1998. In the aggregate,  the percentage increases in all categories of costs and
expenses  for 1999 over 1998  amounted  to 19.2% of sales or  $1,326,792.  These
increases were due to visual indicator tag operations,  primarily, together with
other new product development costs and expenses.

COMPARISON OF OPERATIONS FOR NINE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1999
AND 1998 (CONTINUED)

OIL PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

There was a decrease of $17,734 in crude oil sales for 1999 as compared to 1998.
This was the result of restricted  production  due to declining oil prices.  The
Company has now restored oil production and crude oil prices have improved.  The
loss from operations  increased by $18,904 for 1999 over 1998.  Other income for
1999 was primarily due to income realized from the settlement of indebtedness at
less than the recorded liability.  Overall net earnings improved by $430,496 for
1999 over the net loss of $152,509 for 1998.

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

1. COMPANY'S STATE OF READINESS

Management  began  addressing the Company's Year 2000 issues over two years ago,
at which  time it was  determined  the  accounting  software  was not Year  2000
compliant.  New software was purchased  and  installed.  The Company  obtained a
written  statement  from the  software  vendor  who  attested  to the Year  2000
readiness of this software. To accommodate this new software the Company updated
its network software with Novell 4.0 to interact with the accounting software in
a manner that will not interfere  with its Year 2000  readiness.  Management has
also reviewed all  electronically  based product software  programs sourced from
third party vendors and have determined they are all Year 2000 compliant.

2. COSTS TO ADDRESS THE COMPANY'S YEAR 2000

The Company has expended  approximately  $15,000 to date in addressing  its Year
2000  readiness.  By management  analysis,  the future outlay for addressing any
perceived Year 2000 issues will not exceed $25,000 including assembly line parts
and supplies under its contingency plan.

3. RISKS OF THE COMPANY'S YEAR 2000 ISSUES

Management's analysis of its Year 2000 readiness indicate there are no Year 2000
issues that will have a material  effect on its business,  results of operations
or financial  condition.  This opinion is based upon the fact that the Company's
accounting  readiness  is now  complete  and all of the  vendors  of  parts  and
supplies  critical to its operations have  acknowledged  Year 2000 readiness and
compliance.

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE (CONTINUED)

4. COMPANY'S CONTINGENCY PLANS

If management's analysis of its third party vendor capability is not achieved by
the June 1999 Date, a contingency  plan has been  developed  which  provides for
stockpiling of assembly line parts and  continuing  new vendor  sourcing of Year
2000 compliance vendors.
