NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unaudited information
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair
presentation of the financial position and operating results for the
periods presented. Certain footnote disclosures normally included with
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been omitted from these financial statements.
Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the September 30, 1997 audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1997.

ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Effective as of August 22, 1996 the Company was reorganized pursuant to a plan
of reorganization that was confirmed by the US Bankruptcy Court. Since the
reorganization date, the Company has adopted a September 30 fiscal year.
The Company has had no revenues from operations since the reorganization date.
The Company does not plan to continue the business activities that it previously
conducted. It plans to pursue a business combination or other strategic
transaction. No candidate for such a transaction has been identified. The
Company believes its status as a public company may be attractive to a private
company wishing to avoid an initial public offering but there is no guarantee
that a business combination or other strategic transaction will be consummated.
The Company expects to fund its expenses during fiscal 1998 with advances from
its majority shareholder, GFL Ultra Fund, Ltd. ("Ultra"). These advances are
expected to total approximately $15,000 during fiscal 1998. The Company expects
Ultra to continue to fund its expenses until a business combination or other
strategic transaction is consummated. There is no guarantee that the Company is
a viable party for a business combination or other strategic transaction. If a
business combination or other strategic transaction is not consummated in a
timeframe suitable to Ultra or cannot be consummated due to excessive cost or
for any other reason, Ultra will cease to advance funds to the Company.
The Company has no employees and no fixed assets. The Company does not
anticipate hiring any employees or purchasing any assets until such time as a
business combination or other strategic transaction is consummated or is
imminent.
