                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                    APRIL 30, 1997





         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
    normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
    position of the company as of April 30, 1997, and the results of its
    operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 1997 and
    1996.  Such financial statements have been condensed in accordance with the
    applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
    financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been omitted.  It is suggested that these
    condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's audited
    financial statements for the year ended January 31, 1997, which is included
    in its Form 10K filed in May 1997.  The results of operations for the
    period ended April 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
    results for the full year.


  1. INCOME PER SHARE:

         Income per share is computed on the weighted average number of shares
    outstanding.  The inclusion of common stock equivalents (warrants and
    options) in this computation would be antidilutive.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                 April 30, 1997


Results of Operations

Sales for the three months ended April 30, 1997 decreased to $302,600 as 
compared with sales of $401,200 for the comparable period in 1996, a decrease 
of 24.5%. Cost of sales decreased from $249,700 for the three months ended 
April 30, 1996, or 62.2% of sales, to $180,900, or 59.8% of sales, for the 
comparable period in 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased 1.3% to $123,400 from $121,800.

The Company incurred interest expense of $5,000 in each of the three months 
ended April 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

For the three months ended April 30, 1997, the Company incurred an operating 
loss of $1,700 and a net loss of $6,700, or $ - per share, as compared to an 
operating profit of $29,700 and a net profit of $24,700, or $.01 per share,

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 30, 1997 the Company had cash of $25,200 as contrasted with cash of 
$13,000 on January 31, 1997. 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.
