            NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

August 24, 1996

NOTE 1

         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS

A) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have 
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 
10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered 
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the periods ended August 24, 1996 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 
28, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated statements and 
footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996 in the 
Company's 1996 Annual Report.

B) Income per Share

Net income per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents 
comprised of incentive stock options granted under the Company's qualified 
stock option plan and non-qualified stock options.

C) Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes, on domestic operations, for periods ended 
August 24, 1996 and August 26, 1995 were calculated at an effective annual 
tax rate of 9% reflecting the utilization of available net operating loss 
carryforwards and also taking into account the "Alternative Minimum Tax". 
Provision for income taxes on foreign operations were estimated at 25%.

NOTE 2 - CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

Effective March 1, 1993, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 109, 
"Accounting for Incomes Taxes". Under Statement 109, the asset and liability 
method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred 
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between 
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured 
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the 
differences are expected to reverse.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As permitted by Statement 109, the Company has elected not to restate the 
financial statements of any prior years. The effect of the change on the 
pretax loss from continuing operations for the six months ended August 24, 
1996, as well as the cumulative effect of the change, is not material.

The balance sheet effect to the implementation of Statement 109 is the 
recognition of a net current deferred tax asset of $411,971 and a net 
noncurrent deferred tax asset of $1,148,558. Valuation allowances of $411,971 
and $1,148,558, respectively, reduce the deferred tax assets to amounts that 
represent management's best estimate of the amount of such deferred tax 
assets which more likely than not will be realized.

The following is a summary of deferred tax assets and liabilities:

                                                  Amount

Non-current:
Deferred tax asset                               1,207,503
Deferred tax liability                             (58,945)
                                               -----------
Non-Current Deferred Tax Asset, Net              1,148,558
                                               -----------
Total Deferred Tax Assets, Net                   1,560,530

Valuation Allowance                             (1,560,530)
                                               -----------
Net                                            $        --
                                               -----------
                                               -----------

The current deferred tax asset is primarily composed of deferred revenue. The 
non-current deferred tax asset is primarily composed of Federal net operating 
loss carryforwards. The non-current deferred tax liability is primarily 
composed of depreciation.

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

Six months ended August 24, 1996 as compared with six months ended August 26, 
1995.

REVENUES

Sales of $2,714,268 for the second quarter ended August 24, 1996 were 4.2% 
higher than the sales of $2,605,254 in the comparable prior-year quarter. Net 
sales of $5,226,836 for the six months ended August 24, 1996 were 3.5% higher 
than prior-period's sales of $5,048,851.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the current-year's second quarter was $1,157,901 (42.7% of 
sales) which represents an increase of 3.8% from the comparable prior-year 
quarter's gross profit of $1,115,914 (42.8% of sales). Gross profit for the 
recently concluded six-month period of $2,199,168 (42.1% of sales) was 5.6% 
higher than the comparable prior six-month period's gross profit of 
$2,082,905 (41.3% of sales).

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the recently ended quarter 
were $1,022,289 compared to $960,174 in the comparable prior-year period, a 
6.5% increase. Expenses for the six months were $2,051,931 compared with 
$1,946,090 in the prior comparable period, accounting for a 5.4% increase. 
Increased expenses were due to increased selling expense associated with new 
product launches and higher unit sales in 1996.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

The Company incurred no research and development costs for the three months 
ended May 25, 1996 as a result of the Company's decision to discontinue the 
in-house CAD-CAM project since the project was not able to produce a 
satisfactory and economic product. As such, all related costs associated with 
the project were written off during fiscal 1996. In-house research and 
development costs are included under "Selling Expenses".

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES

Other income consists primarily of income generated from investments and 
service charge income generated from the Company's accounts receivable, 
seminar fees and consulting. Net other income was $14,348 for the second 
quarter of the current fiscal year as compared with $6,223 in the comparable 
prior year's quarter, representing a 130% increase. The recognition of 
seminar income was the primary reason for the increase. For the six months, 
net other income was $30,080 this year versus $28,417 or a 5.9% increase, 
with increased seminar income more than offsetting increased interest expense.

                                       9

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company has provided an effective tax rate of 9% (US operations) of 
pre-tax profits after utilizing available net operating loss carryforward and 
taking into account the "Alternative Minimum Tax". Taxes for the UK 
operations were estimated at 25% of pre-tax profit.

NET INCOME

The Company earned $127,343 or $.05 per share for the recently concluded 
quarter as compared to a gain of $114,495 or $.04 per share generated in the 
prior-year's quarter. Six month's net profit of $151,282 or $.06 per share 
compares with a profit of $73,880 or $.03 per share in the prior-year's 
comparable period. Tighter control of costs plus increases in sales, account 
for the profit improvement.

LIQUIDITY

As of August 24, 1996, the Company had $664,701 in cash and cash equivalents. 
Working capital, as of August 26, 1996, was $1,904,270 versus $1,576,116 at 
February 29, 1996, an increase of $328,154. While decreases in cash of 
$74,759 and inventories of $25,045 reduced working capital, accounts 
receivable increased $289,264 and accounts payable and other liabilities 
decreased $189,882.

Cash balances at August 24, 1996, of $664,701 were $74,759 below the 
February 29, 1996 balance of $739,460.

The Company believes its capital position is adequate to meet anticipated 
cash needs for the next twelve months and beyond.

As of July 19, 1996, the Company has renewed a revolving credit of $750,000, 
for an additional year (August 1, 1996 - July 31, 1997) at an interest rate 
of prime plus 2%, from NBD Bank, but to date has not found it necessary to 
use this credit line.
