PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 3 - Change in Results of Operations.
The Registrant currently anticipates that the earnings statements to be
included in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
1998 (the "Fiscal Year 1998") will reflect a net loss of approximately $421,000
on net sales of approximately $5,255,000, as compared to a net loss of
approximately $1,213,000 on net sales of approximately $5,813,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 (the "Fiscal year 1997"). The decrease in the net loss
of approximately $792,000 from the Fiscal Year 1997 to the Fiscal Year 1998 is
primarily attributable to the Company's ongoing programs of streamlining its
operations and organizational structure.
