Note Payable - Bank
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Lion Golf of Oregon, Inc., an Oregon
corporation ("Lion Golf"), has a $1,000,000 revolving line of credit with its
bank which is secured by substantially all of the subsidiary's assets and which
is guaranteed by the Company and the former majority shareholder of Lion Golf.
The note was renewed January 2, 1996 and bears interest at 10.75% per annum.
Loan advances are limited to 75% of "eligible accounts receivable" plus 45% of
"eligible inventories" up to a maximum of $500,000, as such terms are defined
under the line of credit. The Company's current outstanding balance due on the
line of credit is approximately $891,000.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Notes Payable - Lion Shareholders
Lion Golf has three unsecured notes bearing interest at the rate of 8% per
annum, payable to its former shareholders. These notes are subordinated to the
bank credit line. The first of the notes, for the principal amount of $270,000,
has annual principal payments of $54,000 commencing March 31, 1997. These
annual payments can be limited to the extent of Lion Golf's pretax profits as
defined in the Purchase Agreement among the Company, Lion Golf, and Lion Golf's
former shareholders dated December 29, 1995 (the "Purchase Agreement"). The
second note for the principal amount of $50,200, has monthly principal payments
of $2,400 until paid-in-full. The third note is a demand note in the principal
amount of $10,500.
3.Shareholders Equity
The Company's capital shares are as follows:
Original Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, 1,172 shares authorized at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, 318 shares issued and outstanding at both
March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995. Subsequent to March 31, 1996, all shares of
Original Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into common stock which were
then redeemed by the Company for a nominal consideration.
Common Stock, $.000009 par value, 90,000,000 shares authorized at March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995, and 21,737,841 and 17,772,812 shares outstanding at
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.
4.Earnings Per Share
For the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995, the net loss
per share was computed using the weighted number of average shares outstanding
during the respective periods. Common Stock equivalents did not enter into the
computation because the impact would have been anti-dilutive.

Item II
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements. Certain matters discussed in this section and
elsewhere in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not
limited to, economic conditions, product demand and industry capacity,
competition, and other risks.
Competition. As the Company enters the sporting goods and recreational
equipment market, it faces competition from other materials used in the
manufacture of such goods and equipment, and from other suppliers of
thermoplastic composites. The Company's success in entering this market will
depend largely upon its ability to displace other materials currently in use.
If the Company is unsuccessful in creating a niche within the sporting goods and
recreational equipment market by convincing the market of the strategic benefits
of thermoplastic composites, the Company would be adversely affected. Many of
the companies whose product offerings compete with the Company's product
offerings have significantly greater financial, manufacturing and marketing
resources than the Company.
Development of Distribution Channels. Success in the sporting goods and
recreational equipment market will also hinge on the Company's ability to
develop distribution channels, including both retailers and distributors, and
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to effectively develop
such channels.
Continued Investment. Maintaining the Company's technological and strategic
advantages over its competitors will require continued investment by the Company
in design and development, sales and marketing, and customer service and
support. There can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient
resources to make such investments.
Technological Advances. The Company's ability to maintain a competitive edge
by making technological advances ahead of its competition will have a
significant impact on the success of the Company.
Outside Financing. The Company believes that it will need significant outside
financing over the next five years. There can be no assurance that it will be
able to obtain such financing.
Results of Operations for Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 as compared to Quarter
Ended March 31, 1995
The Company's net loss from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
("1996 first quarter") of approximately $1,740,000 was approximately $250,000
greater than its net loss from operations of approximately $1,490,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 ("1995 first quarter"). The primary reason for
this loss increase was the reduction in gross margins which was caused by the
change in the Company's primary source of revenues from defense related products
to consumer oriented products in the first three months of fiscal 1996.
Total revenue recognized during the 1996 first quarter was stable at $1,087,018
compared to $1,074,643 in the 1995 first quarter. An increase in sales for the
first three months ending March 31, 1996 of approximately $805,000 for the
Company's Lion Golf subsidiary, ("Lion"), which the Company acquired as of
December 31, 1995, was offset by a decrease in revenues of approximately
$790,000 in the Company's Advanced Materials Systems division, ("AMS"). The
decrease in the AMS division reflects the completion of the defense programs
late in 1995 with no corresponding increase in consumer product shipments in
1996. The AMS 1996 sales are primarily lacrosse sticks, $150,000 and thermo-
plastic tape, $100,000.
Interest income increased by approximately $7,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996, as compared to the same period one year ago. The reason for
this is the higher amount of money the Company had on deposit in interest
bearing paper in 1996.
Costs of goods sold for the first quarter of 1996 of $936,438 increased
approximately $222,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 vis-a-vis the
three months ended March 31, 1995. The reason for this increase is that the
1995 defense contract in progress during this period, the F-22 program, had
greater margins than the Lion Golf division enjoyed in 1996.
Research and development expenses were $219,567 in the 1996 first quarter, a
negligible decrease of approximately $16,000 as compared to $236,074 in the 1995
first quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by the negligible amount
of approximately $27,000 to $1,438,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996
over the comparable period a year ago.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $16,000 to $187,811 in the
first quarter of 1996. This decrease is due primarily to the Company's write-
offof the book value of the CMI machine in fiscal 1995.
Interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 increased by approximately
$59,000 to $63,846. This reflects the Company's 1996 subordinated debt, along
with the financing costs associated with the financing leases which the Company
entered into during the past year.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 1996, the Company had total assets of $6,800,112 and stockholders'
equity of $3,350,675. Current assets were $3,641,758 and current liabilities
were $3,118,561 resulting in working capital of approximately $0.5 million which
is a decrease of approximately $1.5 million from December 31, 1995, when working
capital was approximately $2.0 million. This decrease in working capital
resulted was caused primarily by the Company's use of approximately $1,789,000,
of its cash-on-hand at December 31, 1995 to fund its operations.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $2,170,000 from
December 31, 1995. This decrease is due to the Company's use of approximately
$1,789,000 to fund its operations, in addition to the Company's payment of
$381,000 to Richard Fisher, its former chairman and chief executive officer, in
February 1996.
Accounts receivable increased by approximately $83,000. The reasons for this
increase are twofold; one, Lion Golf's sales occurred primarily in March 1996,
and; two, collections on certain portions of the Advanced Materials Systems
division sales slowed down, particularly, monies due from Wimbledon sales in
calendar 1995.
Inventories increased by approximately $294,000. This increase is due to the
build-up of product required for Lion Golf's anticipated shipments during the
Spring season.
Other current assets decreased by approximately $45,000 between March 31, 1996
and December 31, 1995. This decrease was caused by the amortization of
insurance premiums that were prepaid.
Notes payable increased by approximately $104,000. This reflects increased
usage of the Company's line of credit with the Bank of the Cascades.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased approximately $171,000 from
$2,072,000 at December 31, 1995. This decrease was caused by payments made to
former employees in 1996, which were charged against the reserve for
restructuring costs accrued for as of December 31, 1995.
Notes payable to related parties decreased $300,000 to zero at March 31, 1996.
The reason for this decrease is that the Company paid Richard Fisher, its former
chairman and chief executive officer, in full in February 1996 pursuant to the
December 1995 settlement agreement.
Long term debt decreased approximately $25,000 to about $331,000 at March 31,
1996. The reasons for this decrease are the payments the Company made on its
Advanced Materials Systems division financing leases, along with several
payments made on the subordinated debt of Lion Golf.
Convertible debentures decreased to zero at March 31, 1996 from $2,250,000 at
December 31, 1995 due to the debenture holder's conversion of all its debentures
to common stock during the three months ended March 31, 1996.
In the first three months of fiscal 1996, capital expenditures were approx-
imately $18,000, a negligible amount. The Company anticipates capital expend-
itures in 1996 will be approximately $1,500,000 for the purchase of a golf shaft
manufacturing line and an additional thermoplastic tape manufacturing line.
These equipment acquisitions are expected to be paid for through equipment
leasing programs and from funds raised through the placement of the Company's
securities.
The Company generated revenues of approximately $1,100,000 in the first three
months of fiscal 1996, and as a result, operations were not a source of funds or
liquidity for the Company. The Company continues to depend on outside financing
for the cash required to fund its operations. Net funds provided by financing
activities in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, after giving effect to the
repayment of debt, totaled approximately $90,000 during the period ended
March 31, 1996.
The Company believes that proceeds of approximately $1,700,000 from additional
sales of debentures in April 1996, together with funds provided by operations
and cash on hand (approximately $440,000 at March 31, 1996), will be sufficient
to meet the Company's near-term cash requirements. In addition, the Company
believes that it will be able to raise $3,300,000 from the sale of debentures
prior to the end of fiscal 1996.
The Company received a going concern qualification from its outside
independent auditors on its fiscal 1995 audited financial statements. While the
Company believes it has made and will continue to make substantial progress to-
wards achieving profitability, the results to date have not yet been sufficient
to negate the auditors' qualifications. During this transition, management
continues to redirect the Company's focus from the defense related products to
consumer oriented products. Management believes that the Company will be able
to continue to raise money from outside third parties in sufficient amounts to
support its operations until the time in which the Company's consumer
product programs generate sufficient revenues.
The Company believes that it can achieve viability and profitability by
continuing to expand sales of golf and tennis products, as well as other
products that employ its thermoplastic materials. Management believes that the
Company's acquisition of Lion Golf in late 1995 will further this strategy
because of Lion Golf's manufacturing expertise and access to new distribution
channels, such as golf and tennis pro shops. Sales of composite based lacrosse
sticks and continuing efforts to develop and market other consumer products,
will also contribute to its efforts.
There is no assurance that the Company's efforts to achieve viability and
profitability or to raise money will be successful or that the forecasts will be
achieved. It is difficult for the Company to predict with accuracy the point at
which the Company will be viable and profitable or whether it can achieve
viability or profitability at all, due to the difficulty of predicting
accurately the amount of revenues that the Company will generate, the amount of
expenses that will be required by its operations, and the Company's ability to
raise additional capital.
