                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   OCTOBER 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 October 31, 1997, and the results of its
    operations and cash flows for the nine months ended October 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 October 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.

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.

2.  ACQUISITION:

         On July 22, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all
    of the assets of K.O.S. Industries Inc. (effective August 1, 1997) in
    exchange for 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Reference is made
    to this Company's Form 8K filed July 29, 1997. These consolidated condensed
    financial statements include the results of operations of K.O.S. Industries
    Inc. from the date of acquisition. The goodwill, which is a result of the
    KOS acquisition, is being amortized over 40 years. It is anticipated that
    the acquisition of KOS will add significant value to the Company and
    therefore, there is no reason to consider this an impaired asset.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                OCTOBER 31, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of operations for the quarter ended October 31, 1997 included the 
operations of K.O.S. Industries, Inc. (K.O.S.) which was acquired as a wholly 
owned subsidiary on August 1, 1997. The acquisition is being treated as a 
purchase. Therefore, comparable results are not presented for the prior 
periods. This has resulted in differences between the operating results for 
1996 and 1997.

The Company incurred a loss of $76,700 for the three months ended October 31, 
1997 which included one time professional fees of approximately $15,000 
associated with the acquisition of K.O.S. Industries Inc.

Sales of the three months ended October 31, 1997 were $375,400 as compared 
with sales of $113,300 for the comparable period in 1996, an increase of 
231%. This increase includes sales of K.O.S. Industries, Inc. for the quarter 
of $142,300. The remaining increase was primarily due to increased sales to a 
major customer. Cost of sales increased from $44,500 for the three months 
ended October 31, 1996 or 39.2% of sales to $259,100, or 69% of sales, for 
the comparable period in 1997. Due to the acquisition, one time adjustments 
were made to the cost of sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased 72.9% to $186,700 from $108,000 primarily due to K.O.S.'s salaries 
and related expenses. For the three months ended October 31, 1997, the 
Company incurred an operating loss of $70,400 and a net loss of $76,700 or 
($.02) per share, as compared to an operating loss of $39,200 and a net loss 
of $44,400 or ($.01) per share, for the comparable period of 1996.

Interest expense was $6,300 for three months ended October 31, 1997, as 
compared to $5,200 during the comparable period of 1996.

Sales for the nine months ended October 31, 1997 were $1,014,000 as compared 
with sales of $709,700 for the comparable period in 1996, an increase of 
42.9%. Included in this increase were K.O.S. Industries, Inc. sales of 
$142,300. Cost of sales increased from $409,300 for the nine months ended 
October 31, 1996 or 57.7% of sales to $649,900, or 64.1% of sales, for the 
comparable period in 1997. Selling, general and administrative expenses 
increased 37.3% to $459,700 from $334,900. This increase was primarily due to 
professional fees incurred for the acquisition of approximately $45,000 and 
inclusion of K.O.S. Industries, Inc. selling, general & administrative 
expenses of approximately $64,000. For the nine months ended October 31, 
1997, the Company incurred an operating loss of $95,600 and a net loss of 
$112,100 or ($.03) per share, as compared to an operating loss of $28,200 and 
a net loss of $42,600 or ($.01) per share, for the comparable period of 1996.

Interest expense was $16,500 for nine months ended October 31, 1997, as 
compared to $14,400 during the comparable period of 1996.

                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 2

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At October 31, 1997, the Company had cash of $37,900 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 continually engaged in an effort to obtain such funding.
