NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



December 31, 1998 and 1997





NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Pittsfield Mold & Tool, Inc. (the Company), located in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, is engaged in the manufacturing of custom plastic molded industrial parts and custom molds for customers located throughout the United States. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.



1. Cash



The Company maintains cash balances at a Massachusetts institution. These accounts are insured by the FDIC up to $100,000. At December 31, 1998, the Company had $52,141 of uninsured balances held in this financial institution.



2. Accounts Receivable



The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required. If amounts become uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that determination is made.



3. Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.



4. Property and Equipment



Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, on straight-line and accelerated methods. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred while expenditures that extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation for property and equipment retired or sold are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in operations.













Pittsfield Mold & Tool, Inc.



NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)



December 31, 1998 and 1997





NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)



5. Income Taxes



Income taxes are not recorded in the financial statements because the Company has elected S Corporation treatment for federal and state income tax purposes. Consequently, any income or loss is included in the tax returns of the Company's shareholders. Had the Company recorded such taxes, Federal and state tax expense would have been approximately $210,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. There would have been no federal and state tax expense for the year ended December 31, 1998.



6. Use of Estimates in Financial Statements



In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



NOTE B - INVENTORIES



Inventories at December 31, consist of the following:



1998 1997
Raw materials $216,819 $136,322
Finished goods 195,865 340,860
$412,684 $477,182
