                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  JULY 31, 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 July 31, 1997, and the results of its
     operations and cash flows for the six months ended July 31, 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 July 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
     for the full year.

          Two officers and a related party to the Company have agreed to the
     reclassification of certain amounts that have been owed to them in excess
     of one year. Such amounts will not be repaid within one year, unless
     converted into common stock of the Company. The balance sheet has been
     reclassified to reflect this agreement.
