              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 April 30, 1997

                                   (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 condensed  consolidated financial statements contain
all  adjustments  (consisting of only normal  recurring  adjustments,  except as
noted elsewhere in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements)
necessary to present fairly its financial  position as of April 30, 1997 and the
results of its operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 1997 and
1996,  and cash flows for the nine months  ended April 30, 1997 and 1996.  These
statements 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  and  nine  months  ended  April  30,  1997  are not  necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ---------------------------

Earnings per common share is computed  based on the weighted  average  number of
common shares and, when dilutive,  common  equivalent  shares (stock options and
warrants) outstanding during each of the periods.

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.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORY
- ------------------

Inventory at April 30, 1997 consists of the following:

     Raw Material                                  $  780,771
     Work in Process                                  550,982
                                                   ----------
                                                   $1,331,753
                                                   ==========

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended April 30, 1996 and 1997
- ------------------------------------------
Cost of Sales as a percentage  of sales  increased  from 27% in the three months
ended April 30, 1996 to 62% in the three months  ended April 30,  1997.  Certain
cost of sales were recorded in the fourth quarter for fiscal year ended July 31,
1996 that related to the third  quarter  ended April 30,  1996.  Had these costs
been  recorded  in the three  months  ended April 30,  1996,  cost of sales as a
percentage  of sales would have been  approximately  70% compared to 62% for the
three months ended April 30, 1997.


Nine Months Ended April 30, 1996 and 1997
- -----------------------------------------
Due to  increased  machine  sales,  revenues for the nine months ended April 30,
1997 were  $2,860,687  an increase  of 410% , compared to $559,846  for the nine
months ended April 30, 1996.  Cost of sales as a percentage  of sales  increased
from 42% for the nine  months  ended  April 30,  1996 to 71% for the nine months
ended April 30, 1997.  Certain cost of sales were recorded in the fourth quarter
for fiscal  year ended July 31,  1996 that  related to the third  quarter  ended
April 30, 1996. Had these costs been recorded in the nine months ended April 30,
1996, cost of sales as a percentage of sales would have been  approximately  70%
compared to 71% for the nine months  ended April 30, 1997.  Management  projects
fiscal  year end  July 31,  1997  cost of sales as a  percentage  of sales to be
approximately 75%.  Therefore,  the 71% reported for nine months ended April 30,
1997 is in line with current year projections.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash  equivalents  totaled  $375,843 as of April 30, 1997,  compared to
$57,923 as of April 30, 1996. The increase in cash and cash equivalents were due
primarily to cash generated from operations,  which totaled  $788,332,  and cash
proceeds  from the  issuance of debt,  which was  $599,970.  This  increase  was
partially offset by cash used to make principal  payments on debt  ($1,007,167).
The Company is in the process of doing a private  placement  to provide the cash
for the Plan of Reorganization and for anticipated future operations. Management
believes that existing cash,  anticipated cash generated from operations and the
issuance of additional shares of Tapistron's  common stock will be sufficient to
satisfy the Company's currently anticipated cash requirements.
