Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principals for interim financial reporting.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principals for complete financial statements.  In
the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the nine months ended September 25, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1998.  The unaudited financial statements and related
notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain
information included in the Company's annual financial statements and notes.
For further information, refer to the Company's annual financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997.

1)  Earnings Per Share
    ------------------

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings Per Share", which
requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic earnings
per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock.  As required, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 128
for the year ended December 31, 1997.  All prior year weighted average and per
share information has been restated in accordance with SFAS 128 for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 25,1998. The dilutive effect of
outstanding stock options issued by the Company represents the only difference
between the denominator used for the basic earnings per share calculation and
denominator used for the dilutive earnings per share calculation.

2)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    --------------------------------

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which is
effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 1998.  This statement
establishes standards for the way in which public enterprises report information
about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that these
enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
financial reports issued to shareholders.  As this pronouncement impacts
disclosure only, it will have no effect on the financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows of the Company.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

Net sales for the three and nine-month period ended September 25, 1998 decreased
$447,767 and increased $276,725 respectively, to $2,411,982 and $9,409,041 as
compared to $2,859,749 and $9,132,316 for the same periods in 1997.   The
decrease in sales for the quarter was due to the overall sluggish golf industry
resulting in a significant overhang of manufacturers club inventory at the
retail level.  The increase in revenue for the nine-months is attributable to
the growing acceptance of the company's female equipment in spite of this
overall sluggishness in the industry.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 32.7% for the nine-month
period ended September 25, 1998 as compared to 31.4% for the same period in
1997.  The increase of 1.3% is due to increased sales of higher margin products
such as the ladies Light & Easy and men's Power Circle.  Gross profit for the
three-month period ended September 25, 1998 was 31.4% versus 32.2% for the
comparable period in 1997.  This lower margin was attributable to golf bags
being sold at reduced margins.

Selling expenses for the three and nine-month period ended September 25, 1998
decreased $38,819 and increased $103,978 respectively over the comparable
periods in 1997. The change in each respective period is primarily attributable
to the change in net sales as compared to the same period in 1997.

General and Administrative expenses for the three and nine-month period ended
September 25, 1998 increased $12,528 and $49,501 as compared to the same period
in 1997.  Both of these increases are mainly attributable to an increase in the
company's bad debt provision.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
Interest expense for the three and nine-month period ended September 25, 1998
increased $13,044 and $65,870 respectively, as compared to the same periods in
1997 due to an overall increase in the average loan balance offset by lower
interest rates.

The Company's net income before tax for the three and nine-month period ended
September 25, 1998 was $64,503 and $714,199 respectively, as compared to
$218,245 and $689,582 for the same period in 1997.  These differences are
attributable to the sales volume differences previously explained.

The Company's effective tax rate was 40.5% for the nine-month period ended
September 25, 1998 as compared to 7%  recorded for the same periods in 1997.
The increased tax expense is due to the utilization of substantially all of the
Company's available Net Operating Loss carryforwards in the year ended December
31, 1997.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
- - ---------------------------------

The Company's working capital at September 25, 1998 increased $399,551 from
December 31, 1997 to $3,834,896 due to increased current assets of $539,188
offset by increased current liabilities of $139,637.  The increase in current
assets is primarily due to an increase of $1,270,573 in inventory offset by a
decrease in accounts receivable of $726,807.

Cash used in operations was $70,847 and $330,377 for the nine months ended
September 25, 1998 and September 29, 1997, respectively.  The increase resulted
from increased inventory purchases.

Cash payments for financing activity amounted to $29,567 for the nine-month
period ended September 25, 1998 as compared to cash proceeds of $281,660 for the
same period in 1997.  The decrease is the result of a shift in borrowing
activity for inventory purchases wherein significant purchases were made in the
first half of 1998 versus 1997 where borrowings increased in the third quarter
to meet demand in the fourth quarter of 1997.  Based on inventory levels at the
end of nine months in 1998, the Company believes it is in the position to meet
demand for the fourth quarter of 1998.

Year 2000 Compliance
- - --------------------

The Company has completed a review of its information systems and applications
in preparation for the year 2000.  The Company expects to incur internal staff
costs as well as outside consulting and other capital expenditures related to
this initiative.  Total incremental expenses to remediate and bring current
systems into compliance are not expected to exceed $100,000.  The Company
believes that it will be year 2000 compliant in the fourth quarter of 1999.  The
Company believes its vendors and other third parties on whom it relies will be
timely converted and/or have no Year 2000 issues.  However, there can be no
assurance that the systems of other companies on which the Company relies will
be timely converted or that any such failure to convert by another company would
not have an adverse effect on the Company.  None of the Company's products or
manufacturing systems will be effected by the Year 2000 issue.  As the Company
believes it will be timely converted and not affected by Year 2000 compliance
issues, it has not established a contingency plan.
