-------- --------
Depreciation charged to
Cost of Sales $388,269 $388,269
======== ========
The annual depreciation rates used are as follows:
Building and Improvements 3%
Machinery and Equipment 10% - 14.3%
Furniture and Fixtures 10%

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 AND NINE MONTHS ENDED
AUG 31, 2000 AND AUG 31, 1999
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
REVENUES
For the nine months ended Aug 31, 2000 revenues decreased 6% from the prior
year. For the quarter ended Aug 31, 2000 revenues decreased 13% from the same
period from the prior year. This decrease was because EC substantial orders for
the company's new packaging products were not shipped until the 4th quarter.
Demand for the company's new packaging products has increased significantly from
the prior year and will be billed in the 4th quarter, but many of the
preparation expenses were incurred in the 3rd quarter resulting in poor
comparisions with previous periods.
GROSS PROFIT
For the three months ended Aug 31, 2000 gross profit was 25% as compared to 25%
for the same period in the previous year. The same margins were a direct result
of a reduction in certain production expenses for the current period which
enabled the company to maintain its gross profit on a lower sales volume.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the three months
ended Aug 31, 2000 over the same period for the previous year. This was as a
result of the Company's investment in advanced computer software and hardware
plus cost controls on salesman.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the
same period for the previous year. This was as a result of higher levels of debt
needed to support an anticipated record volume in the 4th quarter.
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, 2000 the Company had working capital of $2,842,325. 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.
