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 l0-Q and Rule 10-0l 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 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28,
1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated statements and
footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1997 in the Company's
1997 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
30, 1997 and August 24, 1996 were calculated at an effective annual tax rate of

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

Three and six months ended August 30, 1997 as compared with three and six months
ended August 24, 1996.

Revenues

Sales of $2,550,513 for the second quarter ended August 30, 1997 were 6.0% lower
than the sales of $2,714,268 in the comparable prior-year quarter. Net sales of
$5,065,798 for the six months ended August 30, 1997 were 3.1% lower than
prior-period's sales of $5,226,836. Unit volume in the second quarter of fiscal
1998 decreased primarily as a result of a decision not to run certain
promotions. When compared with the prior-year, second quarter sales were also
adversely affected by a new product launch in that year. The decrease in second
quarter sales this fiscal year versus prior-year more than offset gains in the
first fiscal quarter.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the current-year's second quarter was $959,108 (37.6% of sales)
which represents a decrease from the comparable prior-year quarter's gross
profit of $1,157,901 (42.7% of sales). Gross profit for the recently concluded
six-month period of $1,966,613 (38.4% of sales) was lower than the comparable
prior six-month period's gross profit of $2,199,168 (42.1% of sales). The gross
profit reduction, primarily in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, is due to the
volume decrease and production problems in the U.K. facility associated with
staff turnover and training.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the recently ended quarter were
$948,993 compared to $1,022,289 in the comparable prior-year period, a 7.2%
decrease. Expenses for the six months were $1,993,513 compared with $2,051,931
in the prior comparable period, accounting for a 5.8% decrease. The decrease in
selling, general and administrative expense was primarily the result of reduced
salaries and related benefits, the elimination of grant monies, partially offset
by increased consulting expense in fiscal 1998 versus fiscal 1997.

Research and Development Expense

The Company incurred no research and development costs for the three months and
six months ended August 30, 1997. 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 and seminar fees.
Net other income was $11,124 for the second quarter of the current fiscal year
as compared with $14,348 in the comparable prior year's quarter, representing a
22.5% decrease. For the six months, net other income was $32,048 this year
versus $30,080 or a 6.5% increase.


                                        8

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company has provided an effective tax rate of 4.5% (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 $26,111 or $.01 per share for the recently concluded quarter
as compared to a gain of $127,343 or $.05 per share generated in the
prior-year's quarter. Six month's net profit of $68,724 or $.03 per share
compares with a profit of $151,282 or $.06 per share in the prior-year's
comparable period.

Liquidity

Working capital, as of August 30, 1997, was $2,010,246 versus $2,049,766 at
February 28, 1997, a decrease of $39,520. Cash was provided by a decrease in
receivables (103,128) and an increase in accounts payable and liabilities
($60,936). Capital expenditures totaled $250,033 for the six months ended August
30, 1997

Cash balances at August 30, 1997, of $1,192,950 were $67,391 above the February
28, 1997 balance of $1,125,589.

As of July 31, 1997, the Company renewed and increased the revolving credit line
from $750,000 to $1,500,000, for an additional year (August 1, 1997 - July 31,
1998) at an interest rate of prime plus 0.5%, from NBD Bank, but to date has not
found it necessary to use this credit line.
