1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Organization:
Tridon Enterprises Incorporated (the Company) was incorporated in the state
of Colorado on October 7, 1983 as Turco Computer Systems, Inc. The Company
changed its name to Hammer Computer systems, Inc. on September 27, 1984. On
October 10, 1989 the shareholders voted to merge with Tridon Development
Company, HCSI being the surviving Corporation. The Articles of Incorporation
were amended to change the Company name, new directors were elected and the Plan
of Merger was approved by shareholders voting in person or by proxy. As a result
of the merger effective October 10, 1989 Hammer computer Systems, Inc. exchanged
600 shares of common stock in HCSI for each of the 30,000 shares of outstanding
common stock of Tridon Development Corporation. This increased the outstanding
shares of common stock in Tridon Enterprises Corporation from 17,270,433 to
35,270,433. Authorized shares of common stock remain at 100,000,000.
On October 10, 1989 Paul Ebeling was elected by the Board of Directors;

Kevin Welch was elected Secretary/Treasurer of the Corporation on February 23,
1996.
All of the assets of the Company have been presented at the lower of their
cost or estimated realizable value.
Common Shares and Earnings per Share:
The computation of income per share is based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding during each fiscal period. To calculate earnings per
share, a base of 42,275,734 shares was used for January 31, 1998 and a base of
31,625,734 was used for April 30, 1997.
2. Related Party Transactions:
Vintage Group Inc., as a condition set forth in the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, canceled and forgave all debts and obligations owed Vintage by HCSI. The
Company advanced $5,000 to Vintage Group, Inc. During the quarter ending October

operating loss carry forward, which may or may not be utilized for tax purposes,
for financial reporting purposes of approximately $4,024,000. Due to timing
differences in recording financial reporting and taxable income, HCSI and
Certified had net operating loss carry forwards available to reduce future
federal taxable income of approximately $3,914,000, expiring as follows:
Year of Expiration HCSI Certified Total
1998 119,000 0 119,000

2002 608,000 393,000 1,001,000
Totals: $2,711,000 $1,203,000 $3,914,000

Company accumulated a loss carry forward of approximately $524,000 for federal
income tax purposes an a $259,000 tax loss carry forward for California tax
purposes. Federal net operating losses (NOL's) are carried forward fifteen

Corporation.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The Board Of Directors on February 10, 1992, authorized the issuance of
convertible promissory notes to develop a suitable reliable marketable product,
and for operating capita. Notes totaling $48,000 in principle have been issued
as of December 31, 1994. Interest accrued on these notes on a monthly basis.
At January 31 1996, all notes were converted to preferred stock.
The Company is developing a process for manufacturing a hair prosthesis,
Vertex(R) and if applicable will apply for patents of its own.
The Company announced on September 21, 1993, the appointment of Harold A.
Lancer, M.D. as Medical Director. Dr. Lancer attending staff dermatologist at
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the Assistant Clinical Professor of
Dermatology at U.C.L.A. Medical Center, Los Angeles, and a fellow of the
American Academy of Dermatology. A native of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he was
educated at Brandies University, University of California at San Diego Medical
School, Harvard University Medical School, Tel Hashomen Hospital, Israel and St.
Johns Hospital for Diseases of theSkin, London, England. Dr. Lancer has
international experience in the specialities of dermatology and cosmetic
surgery. Dr. Lancer presented a paper on the Vertex to the Pacific
Dermatological Society In Monterey, California on September 10, 1994. Dr.
Lancer heads the medical and scientific team developing the Vertex and its
attendant products.
The Company contracted with California Cybernetics Corporation for the
implementation of its design, engineering, manufacturing and software
applications for its computer aided flexible manufacturing process. All
patentable aspects, including software and programming, of California
Cybernetics' work for the Company's Vertex products are the sole property of
Tridon Enterprises Incorporated. As of July 31, 1995 the Company has deposited
$98,000 with California Cybernetics Corporation for research and development.
Vertex has no base as used in normal hairpieces, but the hair appears to be
growing directly from the scalp and there is no feeling of an object on one's
head. Vertex(R) has 100% adhesion and can remain on for approximately one
month with no special maintenance, after which it is replaced by a new one.
Through Vertex's(R) unique locking system, human hair fibers are attached
directly to transparent and breathable synthetic skin. The material is
transparent. Substrate is also moisture vapor permeable, which means the
moisture, gases and heat (including perspiration) can exit while a one-way
screen prevents bacteria from entering. It also may reduce the effect of the
sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. Using advancements in computer robotics, the
Vertex(R) can be made consistently and less expensively than competitive
products. With programmed information about a person's skin, natural hair, age
and body chemistry, robotics manufacturing will allow an individual to obtain
the Vertex(R) on short notice, from anywhere in the world.
Management believes that it can successfully develop the non surgical
Vertex(R) hair replacement system. The company began and 18 month compresencive
testing program in February 1997.
On January 20, 1994, the stockholders of the Company in a special meeting
approved the issuance of 7% cumulative convertible preferred stock. On June 7,
1994, the Company issued a private placement memorandum for the offering.
Through July 31, 1995 the Company has received $188,000 for the purchase of the
preferred stock including $48,000 notes converted intopreferred stock. The
proceeds of this offering was used to further develop the manufacturing process
for Vertex(R). As of January 31, 1996 the Company raised $188,000 from this
offering. The offering is closed.
In the quarter ended July 31,1994 the Company expended $31,081 on research
and development. These expenditures were used to complete the development of
the process of attaching the Vertex(R) to the scalp and documentation. This
work was done by Dr. Lancer. Total research and development costs are estimated
to be approximately $60,000 and was for the most part completed in December
1996. An 18 Month testing program began in February 1997.
On September 20, 1994, the Company engaged Robert Miles Runyan and
Associates, Marina Del Rey, CA. Runyan & Associates specializes in the field of
strategic planning and point of sale advertising, providing the Company advise
and planning on all media matters for the development andmarketing of Tridon's
Vertex(R) products. This work is completed.
There have been no material changes in the operations. Tridon Enterprises
Incorporated does not have operating activity and therefore has no revenue.
For the Company to continue as a going concern it will seek an acquisition or
merger partner, place its Vertex(R) technology in a wholly-owned subsidiary and
raise the additional capital to successfully market Vertex(R). For the six
months ended January 31, 1998 the net loss was $768,563 resultant of general
and administrative expenses.
Merger Negotiations:
The Company entered into negotiations to acquire a privately held company.
On February 24, 1996 the Company entered into a letter of intent to acquire
Maingate Entertainment, Inc., a Beverly Hills, CA based motion picture
producer/distributer of moderate to low budget feature motion pictures. On
March 31, 1996 a definitive Agreement and Plan of Acuisition was entered into by
the parties, subject to certain conditions precedent. The Company agreed to
advance certain operating expense to Maingate pending the completion of the Plan
of Acquisition. Subsequently the it was determined that Maingate Entertainment,
Inc. misrepresented its assets and as such was not able to present a certified
audit of its business. Therefore, management unwound it Plan of Acquisition of
Maingate Entertainment, Inc.
Subsequent Events:
In January 1998 the company began develpment of a hair enhance prostisis
for women based on the informationa gained from the research and development on
Vertex hair for men over the past several years. Vertex hair for women will be
marketed in a separate and different manner than Vertex hair for men and will
