-------- --------
Depreciation charged to
Cost of Sales $123,069 $147,618
======== ========
The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:
Building and Improvements 3%
Machinery and Equipment 10% - 14.3%
Furniture and Fixtures 10%

The company's principal operating subsidiary, Flexo-Craft Prints Inc.

by means of a computer color separation (up to 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.

MANAGEMENT'S COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1998 AND FEBRUARY 29, 1997
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
REVENUES
For the three months ended February 28, 1998 revenues increased 26% from the
prior year. For the quarter ended February 29, 1997 revenues increased 16% over
the same period from the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of
increased sales volume through orders from existing customers. Management
anticipates that the rate of increase of revenues when compared to the previous
year will widen as the year goes on. This is based on the fact the company has
signed contracts and received orders that should benefit the second half of the
year. In addition the 8 color press is now operating satisfactorily and will
contribute to revenue growth.
GROSS PROFIT
For the three months ended February 28, 1998 gross profit was 23% as compared to
31% 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.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1% for the three months
ended February 28, 1998 over the same period for the previous year. This was as
a result of the Company's attempt to control costs through reductions of general
and administration costs.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased for the first three months of 1998 as compared to the
same period for the previous year. This was as a result of higher 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
February 28, 1998 the Company had working capital of $2,334,006. 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.
