</TABLE>
The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:
Building and Improvements 3%
Machinery and Equipment 10%--14.3%
Furniture and Fixtures 10%
NOTE 8. ENGRAVING INVENTORY
The company's principal operating subsidiary, Flexo-Craft
Prints Inc. is engaged in the manufacture of designs and patterns
which by means of a laser engraving process grooves are engraved on

six colors) fabricate the matrix for the printing phase of
operations.
In order to present to the trade a wide selection of
proprietary patterns and designs, the company maintains a constant
library of approximately 5,000 sleeves. In case of obsolete or
discontinued designs, sleeves become reusable after mechanically
grinding flat the old pattern and vulcanizing the surface.
For accounting purposes, an obsolescence factor is charged
based on the entire cost of discontinued patterns, exclusive of the
extended life of the reusable rubber sleeves. Historically this
method results in a provision for depreciation of l0% per year of
the total library inventory of complete patterns on sleeves.

On November 30, l996 the company had a net operating loss
carryforward of $7,296.

MANAGEMENT'S COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
AUG 31, 1997 AND AUG 31, 1996
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
REVENUES
For the nine months ended Aug 31, 1997 revenues increased 4% from the prior
year. For the quarter ended Aug 31, 1997 revenues decreased 3% from the same
period from the prior year. This decrease was primarily the result of
decreased sales volume through orders from existing customers. Management has
hired additional sales people to develop business in new markets such as home
furnishing, packaging and plates which the company is capable of servicing.
There has been positive feedback from potential customers in these markets
but any actual orders most likely won't be shipped until the next fiscal
year. Management attributes most of the loss for this quarter to the non
performance of Passport Papers, one of the subsidiaries. Passport contributed
an insignificant amount of sales but absorbed significant expenses in all
areas, therefore management has decided to discontinue Passport by the end of
the year. In addition management has taken steps to significantly cut
overhead until sales reach a much higher level.
GROSS PROFIT
For the three months ended Aug 31, 1997 gross profit was 19% as compared to
25% for the same period in the previous year. The previous year there was a
significant drop in raw material prices in the first quarter which accounted
for the high gross profit margin. In addition gross profit was adversely
affected by production problems with the 8 color press. The manufacturer is
upgrading and modifying the press in January 1998 and has already shipped the
new parts which are on the premises.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months
ended Aug 31, 1997 over the same period for the previous year. This was as a
result of the Company's investment in marketing and research and development
costs which will benefit next year. Management has made substantial
reductions in overhead. However there were significant termination expenses
in June and July which impacted the quarter but the month of August was
profitable and began to reflect the reduction in expenses.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to
the same period for the previous year. This was as a result of lower levels
of debt.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The Company is well positioned to meet anticipated future capital
requirements necessary for purchase of equipment and financing of current
operations. At Aug 31, 1997 the Company had working capital of $2,691,845.
Liquidity is sustained principally through funds provided from operations
with unused bank lines of credit available to provide additional sources of
capital when required. Management does not anticipate any difficulties in
financing existing operations.
