1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly OPT-Sciences Corporation's
financial position as of January 31, 1998 and November 1,
1997, and the results of operations for the thirteen weeks
ended January 31, 1998 and the fourteen weeks ended February
1, 1997 and cash flows for the respective periods then
ended.
2. The results of operations for the periods presented are not

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash and cash equivalents--OPT Sciences Corporation's cash
balances increased during the first quarter of the year from
$2,981,027 to $3,226,575. Profits generated, coupled with a
decrease in accounts receivable more than offset decreases
in current obligations. There are no material obligations
in existence which would be anticipated to cause any sub-
stantial decrease in the cash balances from other than the
Company's future operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales revenues have increased by about 58% from the level of
the first quarter of the prior year which continues the
growth trend of the prior year. Gross profits increased by
about 172% from those of the prior year due to increase in
volume which makes more efficient use of the available labor
force. Earnings from investments are higher due to higher
invested balances than at the same time last year.
