                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

         W-J International,  Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated as a Delaware
corporation in February 1987 under the name of Duo, Inc. When the Company merged
with  Wetjet  International,  Ltd.  in  1988,  it  changed  its  name to  Wetjet
International,  Ltd.  Following the  Transaction  described  below,  the Company
changed its name to W-J International, Ltd.

         Prior to March 31, 1993, the Company manufactured and marketed personal
watercraft under the Company's registered trademark, "WETJET." During the fiscal
years  ended  September  30,  1991,  1992 and 1993,  working  capital  shortages
required the Company to minimize  operating  expenses and reduce inventory.  The
working  capital  shortages  were  caused by the death and  sickness  of its two
distributors in 1989,  which in turn caused the demand by the Company's bank for
repayment of the Company's bank line of credit.

         Due to its  financial  condition,  during  fiscal year 1993 the Company
sold   substantially  all  of  its  assets  (the   "Transaction")  to  Tennessee
Acquisition  Corp.,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  MasterCraft  Boat  Company
(hereinafter referred to as "Mastercraft"). As consideration for the sale of its
assets,  the  Company  received  $310,000  on March 31,  1993 and an  additional
$166,667 on each of June 30,  1993,  September  30, 1993 and  December 31, 1993.
Mastercraft's  principal  executive  offices are  located in Vonore,  Tennessee.
Substantially  all of the proceeds from the  Company's  sale of assets have been
used to pay existing  debts of the Company.  During  fiscal years 1993 and 1994,
the Company negotiated with creditors to settle all existing debts.

         The Company's current  operations consist primarily of renting land and
a building to a single lessee under a short-term rental agreement.

         The Company has satisfied  substantially all of its debts and continues
to evaluate  alternatives in order to improve the Company's financial condition,
including merger and acquisition  opportunities.  There is no assurance that the
Company will be  successful  in  obtaining  such  opportunities.  If a merger or
acquisition opportunity does arise, the Company's value as a partner in a merger
or other business  combination  will rest  primarily  upon the potential  public
market for the Company's shares.

The Product and Manufacturing

         The Company currently manufactures and sells no products.

         Prior to its sale of  substantially  all of its assets,  the  Company's
principal product was the WETJET watercraft,  a recreational watercraft designed
to be ridden by one or two people  (the  "WETJET").  The  Company  offered  five
models of the  WETJET--the"432,"  the  "Special  Edition  432," the "Sport  II,"
"Sport II Spirit," and the "Sport."  WETJET  watercraft  produced after June 30,
1988 were powered by the Brut engine, manufactured by Koronis Parts, Inc.

                                      - 2 -

<PAGE>



("Koronis"),  of which Edward Webb and Kathy Webb own  substantially  all of the
outstanding  stock of Koronis.  Koronis also sold certain assets to Mastercraft,
including the Brut engine technology.

The Market and Competition

         The Company  currently  has no  competition  since it is  producing  no
products.

Sales and Distribution

         The  Company  did  not   distribute   any  products   domestically   or
internationally during fiscal years 1994 through 1996.

Patents and Trademarks

         The Company owns no patents or trademarks.

Employees

         Since January 1994, the Company has had no employees.

Environmental Compliance

         Management   believes  that  the  Company  properly   disposed  of  all
production  material or liquids that may be considered an  environmental  hazard
prior to the Transaction, when all production ceased.

Government Regulations

         The Company is not subject to any material governmental  regulations on
its business.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

         The Company's  assembly  operations,  warehousing and other  operations
prior to the Transaction were conducted in a combined  manufacturing,  warehouse
and office facility located in Paynesville,  Minnesota,  which facility is owned
by the Company,  subject to a mortgage.  The building has  approximately  28,000
square feet. The Company currently leases 26,400 square feet of this building to
Mastercraft  pursuant to the terms of a one-year  lease ending March 31, 1997 at
the current minimum rate of $6,709 per month.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In  November  1989,  the Company  terminated  its  relationship  with a
distributor,   Wetworks,   Ltd.   (Wetworks),   a  related   party  which  owned
approximately 4.7% of W-J's outstanding Common Stock. In settlement of a dispute
arising  from the  termination  of  Wetworks  as a  distributor,  the  Company's
President and majority  shareholder  agreed to repurchase the Common Stock owned
by  Wetworks  and the  Company  agreed to sign a note  payable  to  Wetworks  of
$165,000.  In April 1996,  Wetworks,  Ltd.  accepted a settlement of $150,000 as
full and final  satisfaction  of a note of  $153,998  and  accrued  interest  of
$93,475,   which  resulted  in  the  Company   recognizing  a  $97,473  gain  on
extinguishment of debt. As part of the  satisfaction,  569,250 shares of Company
common  stock owned by an officer of the Company and held by  Wetworks,  Ltd. as
security of the note payable were transferred back to the officer. 

                                     - 3 -

<PAGE>





         In  fiscal  year  1995,  the City of  Paynesville  agreed  to  accept a
$100,000  payment  from the  Company  in full  payment  and  satisfaction  of an
outstanding loan in the amount of $156,156, including principal and interest.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         No matters  were  submitted  to a vote of security  holders  during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.


                                                      PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
              MATTERS

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Results of Operations

         Fiscal 1996 v. 1995

         Rental  Income.  During the fiscal year ended  September 30, 1996,  the
Company's  rental income  increased to $87,237 from fiscal 1995 rental income of
$81,954.  The  increase  in  rental  income  from  fiscal  1995 to 1996  was due
primarily to the fact that the one-year lease agreement  beginning April 1, 1996
called for an increase in the rent per square foot from $2.65 to $3.05.

         Operating Expenses. The Company's operating expenses decreased 66.8% to
$20,518 in fiscal 1996 from  $61,776 in fiscal 1995.  As a percentage  of rental
income, the Company's operating expenses were 23.5% and 75.4% in fiscal 1996 and
1995, respectively.

         General and administrative expenses decreased 73.7% from fiscal 1995 to
fiscal 1996 due  primarily to decreased  activity.  Interest  expense  decreased
$12,138, or 31.1%, due to the forgiveness of debt in 1996.

         Discontinued   Operations.   The  Company   experienced   a  loss  from
discontinued  operations  in fiscal  1996 of  $13,785,  as compared to a gain of
$62,641 in fiscal 1995. This loss was the result of no settlements that resulted
in cash receipts as occurred in previous years.

         Net Income (Loss).  In fiscal 1996, the Company  experienced net income
of $150,407 as compared to net income in fiscal year 1995 of $138,975.  The 1996
net income figure  resulted  primarily from the settlement  with Wetworks,  Ltd.
which  resulted in a $97,473 gain on  extinguishment  of debt. The Company's net
loss in fiscal 1994 resulted  directly from the  Company's  extremely  curtailed
operations and limited rental income.

         Fiscal 1995 v. 1994

         Rental  Income.  During the fiscal year ended  September 30, 1995,  the
Company's  rental income  decreased to $81,954 from fiscal 1994 rental income of
$110,223.  The  decrease  in  rental  income  from  fiscal  1994 to 1995 was due
primarily  to the fact  that the 1994  rental  income  amount  included  amounts
collected  on certain  rents  accrued in 1993,  but not  invoiced and paid until
fiscal year 1994.

         Operating Expenses. The Company's operating expenses decreased 34.3% to
$61,776 in fiscal 1995 from  $93,963 in fiscal 1994.  As a percentage  of rental
income, the Company's operating expenses were 75.4% and 85.2% in fiscal 1995 and
1994, respectively.

         General and administrative expenses increased 46.8% from fiscal 1994 to
fiscal  1995  due  primarily  to  increased  legal  expenses.  Interest  expense
decreased $30,648, or 44.0%, due to the forgiveness of debt in 1994 and 1995.


                                      - 5 -

<PAGE>



         Discontinued   Operations.   The  Company   experienced   a  gain  from
discontinued  operations  in fiscal  1995 of  $62,641,  as compared to a loss of
$79,168 in fiscal 1994. This gain was the result of the out of court  settlement
with PPD, net of attorneys' fees and miscellaneous expenses.

         Net Income (Loss).  In fiscal 1995, the Company  experienced net income
of $138,975  as compared to a net loss in fiscal year 1994 of $62,908.  The 1995
net income figure resulted  primarily from the out of court settlement with PPD,
and from a one-time gain of $56,156 on extinguishment of debt. The Company's net
loss in fiscal 1994 resulted  directly from the  Company's  extremely  curtailed
operations and limited rental income.

Inflation

         Inflation  has not had a material  impact on the  Company's  results of
operations.

Seasonality

         Due to the Company's  discontinuation  of  operations,  seasonality  no
longer affects its business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's  working  capital  increased to $149,220 at September 30,
1996 from  $3,419 at  September  30,  1995  primarily  due to the  reduction  of
outstanding  current  liabilities  which were made possible as a result from the
settlement with Wetworks, Ltd.

             PERSONS; COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

         The following table provides  certain  information  with respect to the
directors and executive officers of the Company.

         Name                    Age      Position

         Edward H. Webb          52       President, Chief Executive Officer and
                                          Director

         Kathy V. Webb           51       Vice President, Secretary and Director

         Gerald C. Westergaard   59       Director


         Edward H. Webb,  the  Company's  founder,  served as  President,  Chief
Executive  Officer and  Director,  of its  predecessor  from April 1985 until it
merged with Duo, Inc. in June 1988 and became the Company.  Since then, Mr. Webb
has served as the Company's  President,  Chief  Executive  Officer and Director.
Since 1972, Mr. Webb has also been the principal  shareholder (together with his
wife, Kathy Webb) of Koronis Parts, Inc.  ("Koronis"),  a Minnesota  corporation
located in Paynesville, Minnesota, which is in the business of manufacturing and
selling  replacement  parts  for  many  brands  of  snowmobiles.  Prior  to  the
Transaction with Mastercraft,  Koronis also manufactured the Brut engine used in
the Company watercraft. Since the completion of the transactions contemplated in
the agreement with Mastercraft,  Mr. Webb has devoted substantially less time to
the Company's affairs.

         Kathy V. Webb was Secretary  and Director of the Company's  predecessor
from  April  1985  until it merged  with Duo,  Inc.  in June 1988 and became the
Company. Since the merger, Ms. Webb has served as the Company's  Vice-President,
Secretary and Director.  Ms. Webb has worked in various  capacities  for Koronis
and other replacement parts  manufacturing  enterprises  operated by Mr. and Ms.
Webb for more than ten  years  prior to the date of this  Annual  Report on Form
10-KSB.  Ms. Webb is also  currently a Director and Secretary of Koronis.  Kathy
Webb is the spouse of Edward Webb.

         Gerald C.  Westergaard  was a Director of Duo, Inc. prior to its merger
with the Company's predecessor in June 1988. Mr. Westergaard has been a Director
of the  Company  since June 1988.  Mr.  Westergaard  has been a Loss  Prevention
Manager  for  Erickson's  Diversified  Corporation  in Hudson,  Wisconsin  since
November  1991.  From March 1990 until November  1991,  Mr.  Westergaard  was an
independent  business  consultant.  From  September  1981  to  March  1990,  Mr.
Westergaard was a controller of Flower City Stores,  a Minneapolis-  based patio
supply, casual furniture and Christmas decoration store.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  requires  the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered  class  of the  Company's  equity  securities,  to  file  reports  of
ownership and changes in ownership with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission
(the "SEC").  Officers,  directors and greater than ten-percent shareholders are
required by SEC  regulation  to furnish  the Company  with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.

         Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms  received by it,
the Company believes that, during fiscal year 1996, all officers,  directors and
greater than ten-percent  beneficial  owners complied with the applicable filing
requirements,  except  that  Edward  Webb  and  Kathy  Webb  each  reported  one
transaction late.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of W-J International, Ltd. as of
September  30,  1996  and  1995,  and  the  related  statements  of  operations,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of W-J International,  Ltd. as of
September  30,  1996 and 1995,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
principles.

1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

          Organization

          W-J  International,  Ltd. (the Company or W-J) was formed on March 19,
          1985  to  produce,   market  and  distribute   personal   recreational
          watercraft.  As  discussed  in Note 6, the  Company  discontinued  its
          recreational  watercraft  operations  effective  December,  1992.  The
          Company's current  operations  consist primarily of renting land and a
          building to a single lessee under a short-term rental agreement.

          Estimates and Assumptions

          The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
          accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make 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  and the  reported  amounts  of
          income and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could
          differ from those estimates.

          Concentrations

          Nearly all of the Company's cash is deposited with a single  financial
          institution,  thus exceeding the federally  insured limit. The Company
          has not experienced any losses on its cash deposits in the past.

          The  Company's  major source of revenue is rental income from a single
          lessee.  The term of the lease expires March,  1997, with an option to
          renew on a month to month  basis.  Rental  income under this lease was
          $75,237 in 1996 and $69,545 in 1995. The Company expects the lessee to
          renew the lease,  to find a new  lessee or sell the land and  building
          without having an adverse affect on the Company's financial position.

          Cash and Cash Equivalents

          For  purposes  of  reporting  cash  flows,  cash and cash  equivalents
          include  cash on hand,  cash in bank and  marketable  securities  with
          maturities of three months or less.

1.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

          Property

          Property  is stated at cost.  Depreciation  on  buildings  is computed
          using the straight-line  method over their estimated useful life of 31
          years. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense
          as  incurred,  and  expenditures  for  renewals  and  betterments  are
          capitalized.

          Net Income Per Common Share

          Net income per common  share is computed by dividing the net income by
          the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  during the
          year. There are no outstanding common stock equivalents.

          Income Taxes

          The Company accounts for income taxes under FAS #109. Income taxes are
          provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial
          statements  and consist of taxes  currently due plus  deferred  income
          taxes.  Deferred  income  taxes  relate  to  differences  between  the
          financial and tax bases of certain assets and  liabilities.  Temporary
          differences  that result in significant  deferred income taxes are net
          operating loss carryforwards.



2.     Certificates of Deposit

       Certificates   of  deposit  at  September   30,  1996  consist  of  seven
       certificates  of deposit  which are  classified as available for sale and
       are stated at cost plus accrued interest which approximates market value.
       The  certificates of deposit mature between  January and March,  1997 and
       earn interest at rates ranging from 5% to 5.5%.

5.    Income Taxes

      The provision for income taxes was comprised of the following:

                                              1996                 1995
                                           ----------            -------

         Current:
           Federal                         $   17,000         $    5,000
           State                                3,000              1,000
                                           ----------         ----------
                                               20,000              6,000

           Utilization of net operating loss
             carryforwards                    (20,000)            (6,000)
                                           ----------         ----------

                                           $     -            $     -
                                           ==========         ==========

      Net operating  loss  carryforwards  were utilized to offset tax expense of
      approximately  $25,000 in 1996 and $36,000 in 1995 related to the net gain
      from extraordinary item and discontinued operation in those years.

      At September 30, 1996,  the Company has net operating  loss  carryforwards
      for tax purposes of  approximately  $2,020,000  which expire through 2007.
      The Company has fully  reserved the tax benefit of the net operating  loss
      carryforwards  and  the  temporary  difference  related  to  nondeductible
      compensation  because the  likelihood  of the  realization  of the benefit
      cannot be established.

      The Internal  Revenue  Code  contains  provisions  which may limit the net
      operating  loss   carryforwards   available  if  significant   changes  in
      stockholder ownership of the Company occur.

      Deferred income taxes consisted of the following:

                                                   1996                1995
                                                  ------              ------

         Deferred income tax assets:
           Net operating loss carryforwards    $  605,000         $  650,000
           Less valuation allowance              (605,000)          (650,000)
                                               ----------         ----------

                                               $     -            $     -
                                               ===========        ==========

6.    Discontinued Operations

      In December, 1992, the Company entered into an agreement to dispose of its
      recreational watercraft operations.  Effective March 31, 1993, the Company
      sold certain assets for $810,000 in cash with final settlement in October,
      1993.  The  sale  resulted  in a  pre-tax  gain of  $410,993.  The gain on
      disposal  has been  accounted  for as  discontinued  operations  and prior
      year's   financial   statements   have  been   restated   to  reflect  the
      discontinuation. The loss from discontinued operations was $13,785 in 1996
      and the gain was $62,641 in 1995.



7.    Extinguishment of Debt

      In April, 1996,  Wetworks,  Ltd. accepted a settlement of $150,000 as full
      and final  satisfaction of a note payable of $153,998 and accrued interest
      of $93,475,  which  resulted in the Company  recognizing a $97,473 gain on
      extinguishment  of debt. As part of the  satisfaction,  569,250  shares of
      Company  common  stock  owned by an  officer  of the  Company  and held by
      Wetworks,  Ltd. as security of the note payable,  were transferred back to
      the officer.

      In  December,  1994,  the City of  Paynesville  accepted a  settlement  of
      $100,000  as full and final  satisfaction  of their  notes  payable  which
      resulted in the Company  recognizing a $56,156 gain on  extinguishment  of
      debt.



8.    Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

                                                     1996               1995
                                                    ------             ------

         Interest                                 $ 111,058          $  13,894

9.     Fair Values of Financial Instruments

       The  estimated  fair values of the  Company's  financial  instruments  at
       September 30, 1996, and the methods and assumptions used to estimate such
       fair values, were as follows:

          The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit,
          notes payable - related parties and due to related parties approximate
          the carrying  amounts because of the short maturity of those financial
          instruments.

          The fair value of long-term debt  approximates the carrying amount, as
          the interest rates approximate current interest rates.



10.    Reclassifications

       Certain  1995  balances  have been  reclassified  to  conform to the 1996
       presentation which had no effect on net income.
