                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                JANUARY 31, 1998

                                  (Unaudited)


1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                 The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments

         for the interim periods presented.

                 Certain financial information which is normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles, but which is not required for interim reporting

         statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
         and notes thereto as of October 31, 1997 contained in the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                 AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                 The following discussion and analysis provides information
         which management believes is relevant to an assessment and
         understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial
         condition.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
         financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

a.       Results of Operations

                 Net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1998 were
         $2,176,000 as compared to net sales of $1,623,000 for the quarter
         ended January 31, 1997.  The cost of sales was 46% as compared to 51%
         for the comparable 1997 period.  The decrease in cost of sales as a
         percentage of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 1998 is
         due to the increased markups on their new product line.

                 Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
         months ended January 31, 1998 were $822,000 as compared to $800,000
         for the same 1997 period.  This was due to  the increase in sales and
         aggressive advertising.

                 As a result of the completion of the last research and
         development project, expenses for the quarter ended January 31, 1998
         were $156,000 as compared to $168,000 for the quarter ended January
         31, 1997.

                 Other income for the three month period ended January 31, 1998
         was $1,800 and was due to investment income.  Royalty income for the
         quarter ended January 31, 1998 was $41,700 as compared to $31,300 in
         the comparable period ended January 31, 1997.  This increase resulted
         from ad additional royalty agreement in 1997.

b.       Material Change in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital
         Resources

                 The Company's working capital decreased from $3,419,000 at
         October 31, 1997 to $3,358,000 at January 31, 1998.

                 At January 31, 1998, the Company's capital resources and its
         sources of liquidity was $269,000 in cash and cash equivalents.

                 Management does not believe that a return of inflation will
         have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations because it
         believes that the Company will be able to increase its selling prices
         to reflect most increases in its cost.
