              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                October 31, 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 October 31, 1997 and
the results of its  operations  for the three months ended  October 31, 1996 and
1997, and cash flows for the three months ended October 31, 1996 and 1997. 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, 1997.  The results of operations
for the three months ended  October 31, 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 - INVENTORY
- ------------------

Inventory at October 31, 1997 consists of the following:

     Raw Material                                               $651,494
     Work in Process                                           1,132,293
                                                        -----------------

                                                              $1,783,788

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended October 31, 1996 and 1997
- --------------------------------------------
Revenues for the three months ended October 31, 1997 ("1997 Three  Months") were
$1,249,830 as compared to $1,561,874 for the three months ended October 31, 1996
("1996 Three Months"), a decrease of 20.0%. This decrease in sales is due to the
cyclical  nature of the business and the Company  expects  overall sales for the
fiscal year to exceed the previous years sales.

Cost of sales as a  percentage  of sales  decreased  to 66.7% for the 1997 Three
Months  from  70.9%  for the 1996  Three  Months.  This  decrease  is  result of
continuing  efforts  to reduce and  contain  costs in the  manufacturing  of CYP
machines.

Operating expenses consist of administrative  expenses.  Administrative expenses
increased to $647,420 in the 1997 Three  Months from  $340,913 in the 1996 Three
Months, a 89.9% increase. This increase is a result of the Company expanding its
manufacturing,  and sales and  marketing  efforts,  and to further  develop  the
technologies of the CYP machine.

Interest expense  decreased to $0 for the 1997 Three Months from $35,518 for the
1996 Three  Months.  Interest  income  increased  to $29,725  for the 1997 Three
Months from $2 for the 1996 Three  Months as the Company  invested  the proceeds
from its private placement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of October  31,  1997,  the Company had  working  capital of  $2,466,798,  an
increase of  $1,708,687.  This increase is primarily a result of the  $2,500,000
proceeds that the Company received from a private  placement.  As of October 31,
1997, the Company had total cash of $543,858,  up from $27,946 at July 31, 1997.
Cash used in operations  was  $1,962,920.  The Company  reduced its  liabilities
which are  subject to the Plan of  Reorganization  by  $605,516,  in addition to
administrative claims of $279,299.Cash used in investing activities was $21,168.
Cash  provided by financing  activities  was  $2,500,000.  Financing  activities
included proceeds of $2,500,000 from the issuance of the Company's common stock.
Management  believes the  existing  cash and  anticipated  cash  generated  from
operations will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's future cash requirements.
