                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

     The Company and its representatives may from time to time make written 
     or oral forward-looking statements, including statements contained in 
     the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in 
     its reports to stockholders.  In connection with the "safe harbor" 
     provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the 
     Company is hereby identifying information that is forward-looking, 
     including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future 
     financial performance, the effect of government regulations, national 
     and local economic conditions, the competitive environment in which the 
     Company operates, results or success of discussions with other entities 
     on mergers, acquisitions, or alliance possibilities and expansion of 
     product offering. Actual results may differ materially from those 
     described in the forward-looking statement.  The Company cautions that 
     the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive.  The Company 
     does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be 
     made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company either oral or 
     written.    

2.   In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial statements 
     contained in this report have been prepared on a basis consistent with 
     the financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on 
     Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1998.  All adjustments included 
     in the financial statements are of a normal recurring nature and are 
     necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 
     30, 1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three 
     months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

</TABLE>

     At June 30, 1998, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards 
     of approximately $3,072,000 for federal income tax purposes expiring in 
     varying amounts through 2012.  The NOL carryforwards, which are 
     available to offset future profits of the Company and are subject to 
     limitations should a "change in ownership" as defined in the Internal 
     Revenue Code occur, will begin to expire in 2001 if not utilized.  
     Additionally, the Company has general business tax credit carryforwards 
     of $174,109 which will begin to expire in 1998.

     SFAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of such NOLs be recorded using 
     current tax rates as an asset to the extent management assesses the 
     utilization of such NOLs to be more likely than not.  Management has 
     determined that future taxable income of the Company will more likely 
     than not be sufficient to realize the recorded deferred tax asset of 
     $1,108,000 net of a valuation allowance of $1,108,000.

     Realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL carryforwards is 
     dependent on a Company's ability to generate taxable income within 


                                    -  7  -

<PAGE>

     the carryforward period.  In assessing the likelihood of utilization of 
     existing NOL carryforwards, management considered the historical results 
     of continuing operations, the current economic environment in which the 
     Company operates, and the projected results of the Company's 
     cost-cutting measures as well as sales projections.  Management did not 
     consider any non-routine transactions in assessing the likelihood of 
     realization of the recorded deferred tax asset.

7.   Net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of 
     shares outstanding during each of the respective periods.  Common stock 
     equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares 
     outstanding as their effect is immaterial or antidilutive.

Item 2.
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter ended June 
30, 1998 were $452,000 compared to $1,452,000 in the year-earlier period.  
During the year-earlier period the Company lost its bid for the continuing 
business of PriceCostco.  The Company realized the loss of this business 
during the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1997, and as a result 
sales declined dramatically.  During the year-earlier quarter ended June 30, 
1997, sales to PriceCostco represented 44% of the Company's total sales.

The loss from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter ended June 
30, 1998 is directly related to the loss of this major customer.  Subsequent 
to the loss of this customer, there were severe cost cutting measures taken 
to reduce costs and expenses.  There has been a reduction in staff as well as 
a very tight control of all expenditures.  Management continues further to 
negotiate with its suppliers to obtain the best possible pricing and reduce 
its cost of materials.

The Company plans to re-bid for the PriceCostco business and seeks to further 
broaden product lines and expand distribution.  Management has been involved 
in discussions with other entities involving joint ventures, alliances and 
merger possibilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The cash position at June 30, 1998 is $1,165,000 including certificates of 
deposit of $367,000.  Working capital at June 30, 1998 is $2,448,000.  The 
Company has a current ratio of better than 12 to 1 at the end of the first 
quarter.

Management believes that the Company's liquidity and working capital 
requirements are adequate for the foreseeable future.
