7.   INCOME TAXES:

     The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards new standard on
     accounting for income taxes, Statement No. 109.  Under this method,
     deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences 
     between fin ancial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and 
     are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect 
     when the differences are expected to reverse.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

     On July 2, 1996, the Company acquired Journeycraft, Inc. and Theracom
     Communications, Inc.  The Company issued approximately 3,500,000 shares of
     common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Journeycraft,

     Inc. and Theracom Communications, Inc.  The acquisition was effected by
     merging wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company into Journeycraft, Inc.
     and Theracom Communications, Inc.  The acquisition will be accounted for as
     a pooling of interests.

             FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

     On July 2, 1996, the Company acquired Journeycraft, Inc. and
Theracom Communications, Inc.  The Company issued approximately
3,500,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding
shares of Journeycraft, Inc. and Theracom Communications, Inc.  The
acquisition was effected by merging wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
Company into Journeycraft, Inc. and Theracom Communications, Inc.  The
acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. The
financial statements presented in this report and the discussion below
do not include any financial information for Journeycraft, Inc. and
Theracom Communications, Inc.

     For the nine months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company
recorded net sales of approximately $3,019,000 and $3,691,000,
representing a 18% decrease in sales.  For the three months ended May
31, 1996 and 1995, the Company recorded net sales of approximately
$1,089,000 and $1,313,000, representing a 17% decrease in sales.  This
decrease is partially attributable to reduced sales in the government
and consumer markets.  In addition, effective September 1995, the
Company lowered its pricing on certain items from its First Aid Product
Line for burns.  This price change is designed to increase market share
and consequently increase sales.  These factors contributed to the
decrease in sales for the current period.

     Cost of goods sold approximated $1,353,000 and $1,411,000 for the
nine months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995, representing 45% and 38% of net
sales.  Cost of goods sold for the three months ended May 31, 1996 and
1995 approximated $519,000 and $485,000, representing 48% and 37% of net
sales, respectively. Selling, administrative and general expenses
decreased approximately $354,000 and $121,000 for the nine and three
months ended May 31, 1996, respectively.  The principal reason for this
decrease is that during the nine months ended May 31, 1995, the Company
incurred approximately $433,000 of selling expenses related to consumer
marketing which was not present in the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     At May 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately
$5,286,000 as compared to $4,748,000 at August 31, 1995.  This increase

is primarily due to sales of marketable securities.  During the nine
months ended May 31, 1996, the Company sold 70,000 shares of common
stock of Mark Solutions, Inc., a corporation with which one of the
Company's directors/shareholders is affiliated.  The Company received
net proceeds from the sale of this security of approximately $481,000.
In January 1996, the Company sold 140,000 warrants of Pen Interconnect
Inc., a corporation with which one of the Company's

directors/shareholders has a consulting agreement.  The Company received
net proceeds from the sale of the warrants of approximately $98,000.  In
April 1996, the Company was paid for a loan which it had given in
February 1996 for $500,000 to Segismundo Brodchandel.  As further
consideration for the loan the Company received warrants to purchase
50,000 shares of common stock of another publicly listed corporation.

     The statement of cash flows for the period ended May 31, 1996
reflects net cash provided by operating activities of $17.  Cash
provided by investing activities was $712,112, consisting of proceeds
from the sale of a marketable security of $579,000, payment of a notes
receivable of $150,000, proceeds from the sale of property and equipment
of $15,000 less acquisition of property and equipment of $31,888.

     The Company believes that it has adequate working capital for at
least the next twelve months of operations at current levels.  As of
July 12, 1996, the Company had approximately $3,700,000 in cash.

                     PART II  -  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1  -  Legal Proceedings

     On April 12, 1996, Robert Daniels filed a complaint on the Supreme
     Court of the State of New York, New York (96601909) against the
     Company, and Yitz Grossman and Werner Haase who are directors of
     the Company.  On March 22, 1996 Mr. Daniels pleaded guilty in U.S.
     District Court for the district of New Jersey (Case No. 
     ADL/9500370) to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.  In
     the complaint Mr. Daniels alleges that his employment was
     suspended, but not terminated, because he had provided information
     to the United States Attorney regarding alleged violations of law
     by defendants and that this suspension breached an employment
     agreement and violated the New Jersey whistle blower statute.  He
     seeks approximately $100,000 in base salary, as well as benefits,
     perquisites and bonuses, costs, punitive damages, recovery of
     alleged losses relating to 128,125 stock options, and an injunction
     to reinstate his employment and against retaliatory actions by the
     Company.  The Company disagrees with the allegations contained in
     the Complaint. On April 16, 1996, the Company sued Mr. Daniels and
     others in the Superior Court of New Jersey Chancery Division,
     Bergen County on claims relating to actions by Mr. Daniels
     following the termination of his employment.  Mr. Daniels has
     agreed to dismiss the New York action without prejudice so that the
     claims can be litigated in the New Jersey action.  The case is
     currently in the discovery stage and no trial date has been set.
