The   accompanying   consolidated   condensed   balance   sheet   of   Tapistron
International,  Inc.  as of  October  31,  1996,  and the  related  consolidated
condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the respective three-month
periods  ending  October  31,  1996  and  1995  were  not  audited  by  us  and,
accordingly, we do not express an opinion on them.

The  balance  sheet for the year  ended July 31,  1996 was  audited by us and we
expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated November 1, 1996, but
we have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

                             (Debtor-in-Possession)
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                October 31, 1996

                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

In the opinion of the Management of Tapistron International,  Inc. ("Tapistron")
and Fabrication  Center,  Inc. ("FCI"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Tapistron,
the accompanying  unaudited  consolidated condensed financial statements contain
all adjustments  (consisting  only of normal  recurring  adjustments,  except as
noted elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements)
necessary to present  fairly its  financial  position as of October 31, 1996 and
the results of its  operations  for the three months ended  October 31, 1996 and
1995, and cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1995. These
statement are condensed and therefore do not include all of the  information and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial  statements.  The statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1996.  The results of operations
for the three months ended  October 31, 1996 are not  necessarily  indicative of
the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
- ------------------------------------

Net income  (loss) per common share is computed  based on the  weighted  average
number of common shares outstanding.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
- ----------------------

As shown in the  accompanying  financial  statements,  the Company has  incurred
recurring  losses from  operations and, as a result,  has experienced  cash flow
problems.  These factors raise  substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue  as a going  concern.  The  Company's  ability to  continue  as a going
concern is dependent  first on its ability to raise  additional  capital to meet
its immediate  working  capital  requirements  and  ultimately on its ability to
obtain  profitable  operating  results.  Management  intends to raise additional
capital through the placement of an equity offering.

NOTE 4 - PLAN OF REORGANIZATION
- -------------------------------

On November 20, 1996 the Company filed a plan of reorganization  with the United
States Bankruptcy  Court. As part of the plan of reorganization  the Company has
entered into an investment banking agreement to raise a total of $2.5 million to
recapitalize the Company.

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

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended October 31, 1995 and 1996
- --------------------------------------------

Revenues for the three months ended October 31, 1996 ("1996 Three  Months") were
$1,561,874  as compared to $190,421 for the three months ended  October 31, 1995
("1995 Three Months"), an increase of 99.9%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales  decreased  from 92.4% for the 1995 Three
Months to 70.9% for the 1996 Three Months.

Operating   expenses  consist  of  administrative   expenses  and  research  and
development expenses.  Administrative expenses increased to $335,534 in the 1996
Three  Months from  $144,657 in the 1995 Three  Months,  a 132%  increase.  This
increase is  proportionately  related to the  increase in sales  activity in the
1996 Three Months as compared to the 1995 Three Months.

Research and development  expenses  decreased to $5,379 in the 1996 Three Months
from $13,169 in the 1995 Three Months, a 59.2% decrease.

Interest expense decreased to $35,518 for the 1996 Three Months form $50,437 for
the 1995 Three Months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of October  31,  1996,  the  Company  had  working  capital of  approximately
$1,378,587, a $294,100 increase from July 31, 1996. The Company anticipates that
additional  financing  will be  necessary  in  order to meet  projected  working
capital requirements over the next 12 months.

The Company has entered into an  investment  banking  agreement  under which the
investment  banker has agreed to raise a total of $2.5  million to  recapitalize
the Company.  The investment  banker will also assist the Company in obtaining a
$500,000 credit facility to provide working capital pending  confirmation of the
Company's plan of reorganization.
