05/31/00 05/31/99
-------- --------
Depreciation charged to
Cost of Sales $258,846 $258,846
======== ========
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.

On November 30, l999 the company had a tax credit carryforward of
$83,787.

MANAGEMENT'S COMPARATIVE DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED
MAY 31, 2000 AND MAY 31, 1999
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
REVENUES
For the six months ended May 31, 2000 revenues decreased 2% from the prior year.
For the quarter ended May 31, 2000 revenues decreased 2% from the same period
from the prior year. This decrease was primarily the result of a change in
company policy which consisted of the cessation of pre-press work for outside
customers. Management determined that doing pre-press work for outside customers
was interfering with Laser Master's growing need to perform pre-press work for
its regular customers. This had the short term impact of reducing sales for the
current period but should have a beneficial effect over the long term.
Management has received orders from several new customers for its new packaging
products which should benefit the second half of the year.
GROSS PROFIT
For the three months ended May 31, 2000 gross profit was 22% as compared to 20%
for the same period in the previous year. The increase in gross profit was due
to the fact that the company is becoming more efficient due to the 8 color press
running faster and because of other improvements in the factory.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10% for the six months
ended May 31, 2000 over the same period for the previous year. This was as a
result of the Company's attempt to obtain additional customers for its new
packaging products which caused additional selling and administrative expenses.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense increased for the first six months of 2000 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 May
31, 2000 the Company had working capital of $3,522,930. 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.
