NOTE 7.  DEPRECIATION

         Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is
         computed by applying the straight-line method to individual items.
         Where accelerated depreciation methods are used for tax purposes,
         deferred income taxes may be recorded. Maintenance and repairs were
         charged to expenses as incurred.


                                            05/31/99        05/31/98
                                            --------        --------

         Depreciation charged to
         Cost of Sales                      $258,846        $236,695
                                            ========        ========


         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 a rubber sleeve, and
         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.


NOTE 9.  TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARD

         On November 30, l998 the company had a net operating loss carryforward
         of $227,460.

               MANAGEMENT'S COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                       FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
                          MAY 31, 1999 AND MAY 31, 1998

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              ---------------------
REVENUES

For the six months ended May 31, 1999 revenues increased 6% from the prior year.
For the quarter ended May 31, 1999 revenues increased 11% from the same period
from the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of increased 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. The 8 color
press is working properly and has allowed the company to triple its capacity and
to open new markets due to the expanded printing capabilities.

GROSS PROFIT

For the three months ended May 31, 1999 gross profit was 20% as compared to 32%
for the same period in the previous year. The decrease in gross profit was due
to the fact that the company printed many new designs for existing and new
customers which will be used in mass production later this year and for next
year. In printing new designs there is an initial learning curve which results
in start up costs. Management is confident gross profit percentages will improve
after these initial start up costs.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 21% for the three months
ended May 31, 1999 over the same period for the previous year. This was as a
result of the Company's attempt to control costs through significant reductions
of general and administration costs and because of the increased sales volume.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased for the first six months of 1998 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 May
31, 1999 the Company had working capital of $1,867,434. 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.
