5. Commitments and contingencies (continued):
On March 6, 1996, the Company entered into an investment agreement for a
three year term. The consultant shall assist management in broadening
the Company's exposure to the financial community and securing necessary
funding to meet its needs according to the terms of the agreement. The
consultant shall be compensated by having the option to purchase up to
6,000,000 of the Company's common shares at prices varying from $.10 to
$1.75 during the period commencing on March 6, 1996 and ending September
30, 1996. Either party may terminate this agreement upon notice to the
other. As of April 30, 1996, $825,000 shares had been issued for
$82,500. On September 30, 1996, after 2,550,000 shares had been issued
for $240,000, this agreement was cancelled.
On April 8, 1996, the Company reached a settlement with their prior
accountants of fees due from the Company. The agreement calls for
monthly installments of $4,000 commencing April 1, 1996 and ending on
September 1, 1996 for a total $24,000. The balance reflected at January
31, 1996 on the Company's accounts payable was $28,068. The books at
April 30, 1996 have been adjusted to reflect this settlement.
On February 27, 1997, the Company entered into an investment banking with
Russo Securities for a three year period. The consultant shall assist
management in broadening the Company's exposure to the financial
community and in securing necessary funding to meet its needs according
to the terms of the agreement. The consultant shall be compensated by
having the option to purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of the Company's
common shares at prices varying from $.075 to $.10 during the period
commencing of February 27, 1997 and ending July 31, 1997. After July
30, 1997 the option price will be $.10 until the agreement expires.
Upon the signing of the agreement, the Company issued another 200,000
shares of its common stock to other consultants related to Russo, with
a possible additional 400,000 shares being issued to these consultants
if the entire 6,000,000 options are exercised. The agreement can be
terminated by either party upon sixty days notice. As of April 30, 1997
no options had yet been issued under this contract.
On May 1, 1996, the Company entered into employment agreements with its
President and Vice President. The term of the agreements covers two one
year periods expiring on January 31, 1998. Compensation is set at a
base of $100,000 and $75,000 for the President and Vice President,
respectively, with each getting a bonus of 5% of consolidated gross
sales. Each employee also received 1,000,000 stock options at $.10.
None of these options had been exercised as of April 30, 1997.

7. Income taxes:
As of April 30, 1997 the Company had net operating loss carryovers of
approximately $1,730,000 expiring in various years through 2008.
Effective February 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.
109"), the cumulative effect of which was not material to the
consolidated financial statements and is therefore not presented
separately. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to the differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109,
the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date; this effect was immaterial during the year ended January 31, 1997
and 1996. The deferred tax asset less the deferred tax liabilities has
been reduced by a valuation allowance equal to the net tax benefit in
excess of the estimated taxable profits over the next three years.

rates from 14% to 10%. The new note balance includes previously unpaid
principal and interest with the new payments beginning May 1, 1997.

Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
I. Financial Condition
The Company's financial condition has steadily and
significantly continued to improve so that its latest Dun and Bradstreet rating
of 1A2 now reflects a more than adequate "Good".
Reflecting its successful and profitable operating results, a
comparison of the Balance Sheet at April 30, 1997 to January 31, 1997 indicates:
1. Total assets increased by 1.2% to $1,304,275 and
current assets increased by 4.5% to $764.148,
generally due to higher sales volume and the
profitable operation.
2. Current liabilities decreased by 5.1% due to the following:
a. Accounts payable increased by 9.1% because of cumulative
effect of the higher sales volume.
b. Completion of repayment of bank debt eliminated debt
payments due.
c. Restructuring of notes payable to shareholders, as
negotiated, altered interest and payable elements (see
Financial Note 6).
Other Balance Sheet Comparisons for the same two periods are:
1. Long term debt, net of current position, increased by 63.4%
as part of the aforementioned notes payable restructuring.
2. Cash decreased by $43,875 or 60.6%. This was primarily due
to a $59,668 note receivable from a Company officer.
This amount will be repaid during the second quarter
of 1997.
II. Results of Operations
Net sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1997 were $422,603 as
compared to $376,467 for the comparable period ending April 30, 1996, an
increase of approximately 12.1%. The Company experienced a 13.3% increase in its
ceramic lines and a 10.1% increase in its dicing blade lines as the main
contributor to this improvement.
<PAGE>
-2-
The quarter's net sales results was its highest first quarter
in its history, second only to the preceding quarter. Management believes this
portends a record annual sales for the current fiscal year. This belief is
supported by the first quarter bookings record of $468,430, 31.9% higher than
the comparable period of the preceding year and 6.5% higher than the previous
quarter.
The Company's gross profit margin for the first quarter of 1997
remained approximately at the same high level as compared to the first quarter
of 1996 (2.8% lower). Similarly, the selling, general and administrative expense
as a percentage of sales increased by only 2.0%, a nominal change. However, as
compared to the record high preceding quarter for sales and profit, the first
quarter ended April 30, 1997 yielded a slightly higher gross profit margin and a
slightly lower S, G & A expense percentage of sales, both improvements.
Nevertheless, when comparing the quarter ended April 30, 1997
to that ended April 30, 1996, the latter mentioned slight changes in Gross
Margin and S, G & A expense as a percentage of sales saw income from operations
at $55,647 compared to $61,486 or a 9.5% decrease. Management does not believe
this to be significant on the face of it, especially in view of its bookings
experience and its plans for product expansion by its Malaysian subsidiary. DTI
Technology, SDN, BHD, which experienced a small operating profit during the
quarter, has plans for the manufacture of tools for the jewelry industry and a
full line of dressers, both of which should be marketed in the Far East.
Management feels that a net income comparison between the
first quarters of 1997 and 1996 is not as significant as that of the comparison
of income from operations above. The net income of $33,327 in 1997's first
quarter was impacted by a non-cash provision for taxes of $12,495 and, although
33.7% decreased from 1996's first quarter's net income of $50,295, such
comparison could be misleading.
<PAGE>
-3-
III. Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 30, 1997, the Company's current ratio (i.e. current
assets divided by current liabilities) stood at 3.09:1, as compared to 1.96:1 at
January 31, 1997 and 1.08:1 in the comparable quarter ending April 30, 1997.
This classical measure of a company's ability to meet current obligations
reflects positively on the Company's liquidity and resources for the current
level of business and will contribute to more than satisfying its suppliers of
goods and services.
On the other hand, the Company believes that a part of its
growth will come from substantial acquisitions made both in the United States
and overseas. It has instituted an aggressive program in Malaysia which is tied
into the operation of DTI. Locally, the Company is also seeking opportunities.
In the two instances, both funding and the acceptance of its common stock by
sellers of candidate companies, are not certain and could be mitigating factors.
During the quarter ending April 30, 1997, property and
equipment expenditures amounted to a nominal $5,222. As at the end of the
quarter, there were no material commitments for capital expenditures, except in
connection with potential acquisitions.
IV. Inflationary Impact
Since the inception of operations, inflation has not
significantly affected the operating results of the Company. However, inflation
and changing interest rates have had a significant effect in the economy in
general and therefore could affect the operating results of the Company in the
future.
