1.  Statement of Information Furnished

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with Form 10-QSB instructions and in the opinion of 
management contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring 
accruals)  necessary to present fairly the financial position as of 
November 30, 1997, the results of operations for the six months ending 
November 30, 1997 and 1996, and the cash flows for the six months ended 
November 30, 1997 and 1996.  These results have been determined on the 
basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied 
consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company's audited 
financial statements for its fiscal year ended May 31, 1997.

2.  Business

Antenna Products Corporation
- ----------------------------
The Company operates as a "Holding" company with Antenna Products 
Corporation, Metal Finishing Corp, and Thirco, Inc. As its subsidiaries.  
Antenna Products and Metal Finishing are operating subsidiaries with Thirco 
serving as an equipment leasing company to Cabre's operating units.

Antenna Products designs, manufactures and markets standard and custom 
antennas, guyed and self supported towers, monopoles, support structures, 
masts and communication accessories worldwide.  Customers include the U.S. 
Government, both military and civil agencies, U.S. Government prime 
contractors and commercial clients.  Examples of Antenna Products' U.S. 
Government supplied products include ground to air collinear antennas, 
instrument landing antennas and towers, fixed system multi-port antenna 
arrays, tactical quick erect antennas and masts, shipboard antenna tilting 
devices, transport pallets, surveillance antennas, antenna rotators, 
positioners and controls, and high power broadcast baluns.  Examples of the 
company's commercial products include PCS antennas (panel, sector, 
omnidirectional and closed loop PCS antennas), automatic meter reading 
(AMR), cellular, paging and yagi antennas, guyed towers, self supported 
towers and monopoles.

Metal Finishing Corp
- --------------------
Metal Finishing Corp offers a wide range of metal plating, finishing, and 
surface enhancements.  Industries serviced range from medical, electronics, 
oil patch, fastener, packaging, automotive to commercial as well as 
aerospace and defense contracted work.  Metal finishing is the chemical 
science of electrolytically depositing thin layers of metals such as 
silver, zinc, cadmium, nickel or copper to base materials such as steel, 
aluminum, brass, etc.  The deposits created are most often utilized for 
added corrosion and wear resistance as well as their ability to meet the 
required aesthetic values.  Metal Finishing competes on the basis of cost 
and quality of service in a market with no dominant provider.  Due to the 
nature of the service provided, inventory consists of small amounts of 
chemicals and metals.

Thirco, Inc.
- ------------
Thirco, Inc. was formed on November 1, 1993 as a Delaware company to 
purchase and lease equipment and facilities to the other operating units of 
Cabre.  The primary lease arrangements are with Antenna Products.  Thirco 
will occasionally assist in servicing the banking needs of Cabre's 
operating units.  Since all activity is internal to Cabre and its operating 
subsidiaries, financial data is consolidated with Cabre.  Thirco does not 
intend to engage in any outside business transactions.

Seasonality
- -----------
Cabre's businesses are not dependent on seasonal factors.

Backlog
- -------
The backlog of orders on November 30, 1997 at Antenna Products amounted to 
approximately $5.5 million. About 80% of the current backlog will be 
delivered in the 1998 fiscal year.  As a service provider Metal Finishing 
has no recorded backlog.

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

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant 
factors which have affected the Company's financial condition and operating 
results for the period included in the accompanying financial statements.

Results of Operations

Second Quarter Ended November 30, 1997 Compared to Second Quarter Ended 
November 30, 1996
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company's net profit for the quarter ended November 30, 1997 was $230,247 
compared to $66,483 in the quarter ended November 30, 1996.  The increased 
profitability was the result of improved performance and higher sales of 
Antenna Products. Overall sales were 18% higher this year with $2.45 million 
total deliveries in the second quarter of fiscal year 1998 compared to $2.08 
million of deliveries for the same time period of fiscal year 1997.  However, 
due to the nature of long term contracts, individual quarterly results may 
vary dramatically and not be indicative of a trend.

Sales and administrative expenses were lower in the second quarter of fiscal 
year 1998, $202 thousand versus $264 thousand in the second quarter of fiscal 
year 1997.  Interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal year 1998 was 
slightly higher, $78 thousand versus $70 thousand in the same time period of 
fiscal year 1997.

Due to Antenna Products' continued success in commercial markets, the 
Company's backlog totaled $5.5 million on November 30, 1997, compared to a 
total backlog of $2.6 million on November 30, 1996.

Six Months Ended November 30, 1997 Compared to Six Months Ended November 30, 
1996
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the six month period ending November 30, 1997 the net profit was $309,383 
compared to a net profit of $213,335 in the same six  month period of 1996.  
Sales were $4.51 million in the first half of fiscal year 1998, 11% lower than 
the $5.07 million of sales in the first half of fiscal year 1997.  The gross 
profit margin for the first six months was 23% compared to 20% for the first 
six months of last year.  Sales and administrative expenses as a ratio to 
sales were 9% in the first six months of this year compared to 10% in the same 
period last year.  Warranty charges of $34,485 were slightly lower than last 
year's rate, and averaged less than 1% of sales.  Discretionary products 
development spending was $103,673, or 2% of sales, 1% lower than the 
comparable period last year.  The product development efforts have resulted in 
the development of a new line of tactical vehicular mounted antennas for 
military applications in the UHF and VHF frequency ranges.  The new antennas 
are rugged, spring mounted designs that are capable of transmitting and 
receiving simultaneously when used with frequency hopping radios.  Sales of 
the new tactical antennas totaled $235 thousand in the first six months of 
this year.  

Marketing of the new line of commercial antennas for the wireless 
telecommunications industry continues with limited success.  Antenna Products 
was selected as the antenna supplier for one of the C-Band license holders.  
The first C-Band cell sites using Antenna Products' PCS antennas were 
completed in November.  The coverage provided by the antennas has been 
reported as excellent and orders for the next construction phase are expected 
in the third quarter.  Twelve PCS sector and two AMR omnidirectional antennas 
are currently being evaluated at seven customer sites.  The field tests must 
be completed before Antenna Products can be accepted as an approved vendor 
with each of these customers and bid on their 1998 antenna requirements.

More information on new products at Antenna Products is available on the 
Internet web page at://WWW.antennaproducts.com.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company's current assets total $4,882,677 as of November 30, 1997 with 
$4,610,416 in inventory and accounts receivable.  Receivables are $1,709,355 
at the quarter ending November 30, 1997 compared to $1,032,643 at fiscal 1997 
year-end.  Net inventories have increased from $2,419,086 at May 31, 1997 to 
$2,901,061.  Cash accounts have decreased $6,827 from May 31, 1997.  There 
were nominal capital additions during this period.  Current liabilities of the 
company increased $841,940 from fiscal year end as the result of material 
purchased for work       in- process on contracts at Antenna Products.  
Approximately 80% of this work in-process will deliver in FY98.

Management believes that cash flows from operations of the operating 
subsidiaries and current cash balances, together with available lines of 
credit, will be sufficient to fund operations and expenses for the near and 
mid term future. On September 30, 1997, Antenna Products renewed its annual 
working credit line of $2.0 million with loan advances subject to a borrowing 
base formula applied to inventory and receivable balances.  The Company at 
November 30, 1997 had $880,000 remaining in loan availability against this 
revolving credit line.
