of 122%.  Cost of sales increased from $118,500 for the three months ended April
30, 1995, or 65.8% of sales, to $249,700, or 62.2% of sales, for the comparable
period in 1996.  For the three months ended April 30, 1996, the Company incurred

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 30, 1996 the Company had cash of $14,500 as contrasted with cash of
$11,100 on January 31, 1996.  There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain sufficient cash to fund its operations.  Management believes that
the Company requires additional financing to conduct its operations on a
profitable basis and to develop and market additional products and programs.
The Company is engaged in an effort to obtain such funding.
