                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OPINIONS  OF  MANAGEMENT

A.         In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements
contain  all  adjustments  (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring  accruals)
necessary  to  present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1997,
the  results  of  operations  and  cash  flow  for  the  period  then  ended.

B.         In the opinion of management, the results of operations for the six
months ended September, 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to  be  expected  for  the  full  year.

C.     Summary of the Company's significant accounting policies are
incorporated by reference to the Company's March 31, 1997 Annual Report filed
under cover of Form 10-K.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1997 increased by 22.2% to
$1,590,579 versus $1,301,809 for the same period in 1996.    Sales of five
gallon products increased by 19.7%, one gallon sales increased by 19.0% and
sales of the pet bottle products increased by 47.1%.

Cost of goods sold increased by 7.3% for the first six months. This compares
to an increase of 23.1 for the same period a year ago.  This decrease in costs
is due in large part to improved pricing from suppliers due to the increase in
order quantity.  Operating expenses increased 25.6%.   Wages, salaries and
related items increased 31.1% over the same period a year ago.  This increase
is due to the increase in sales commissions for the new accounts generated
during this period.

During the month of May 1997 the company installed a new route accounting
system.  Ultimately the new system will reduce costs in the delivery and
billing for accounts.  Currently the company is experiencing an increase in
accounts receiveable since the switch to the new system.  Receivables have
increased to $447,702 from $308,498 a year ago.  This increase in receivables
is a concern for management.  However, now that the computer system is
completely operational, management is confident that with additional
collection procedures accounts receivable will be reduced in the near future.

Net income for the six months ended September 30, 1997 increased to $128,372
from $121,266 for the same period last year.  This represents an increase of
5.8% over the previous year.
