1.   General

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of
Regulation  S-B.  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,  the accompanying unaudited
interim consolidated  financial  statements contain all adjustments  (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals)  necessary to make such financial  statements
not  misleading.  Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending  December 31, 1997. For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.   Earnings per Share

In February  1997,  the  Financial  Standards  Board issued  Statement  No. 128,
Earnings per Share,  which is required to be adopted on December  31,  1997.  At
that time,  the Company will be required to change the method  currently used to
compute  earnings  per share and to  restate  all prior  periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating  primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded.  The impact of Statement 128 on the  calculation
of  primary  and fully  diluted  earnings  per share for these  quarters  is not
expected to be material.

3.   Pro Forma Information (Unaudited)

On December 21, 1996, the Company sold the stock of its subsidiary Marsel Mirror
and Glass  Products,  Inc.  ("Marsel")  for $1.  The  operations  of Marsel  are
included in the  statement  of  operations  for the three and nine months  ended
September 30, 1996.

The pro  forma  unaudited  results  of  operations  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1996,  assuming  the sale of Marsel had been  consummated  as of
January 1, 1996, are as follows:


         Revenues                              $         --
         Net loss                              $     82,000

Introduction

     The financial statements included in this Report as of, and for the quarter
and nine months  ended,  September 30, 1996 contain the  consolidated  financial
condition  and  results  of  operation  for the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned
subsidiary,  Marsel Mirror & Glass Products,  Inc.  ("Marsel").  On December 21,
1996,  the  Company  sold all the  outstanding  shares of  Marsel.  The  Company
currently  has no operating  business.  Accordingly,  a comparison  of operating
results with prior periods is not material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $5,762,000 at September 30,
1997, a decrease of $282,000 from December 31, 1996. The decrease in cash during
the  first  quarter  of 1997 was  attributable  to the  payment  during  1997 of
guarantees of certain of Marsel's payables which were accrued as of December 31,
1996.
