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. The line of credit is secured by substantially all of Lion Golf's assets
and 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 $732,000. The bank has indicated
that this line of credit when it expires on December 15, 1996 will not be
renewed. The Company is currently exploring alternative financing arrangements
for its Lion Golf subsidiary to replace the current banking arrangement.

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, $0.01 par value, -0- shares
authorized at September 30, 1996 and 1,172 shares authorized at December
31, 1995. There were 318 shares of the Original Convertible Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 1995. Subsequent to December
31, 1995, all shares of Original Convertible Preferred Stock were converted
into common stock which were then redeemed by the Company for a nominal
consideration.
Class A, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, 7,000
shares and -0- shares were authorized at September 30, 1996 and December
31, 1995, respectively. There were 2,334 shares and -0- shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at September 30, 1996,
and December 31, 1995, respectively. During the fiscal quarter ended
June 30, 1996, the Company paid a dividend in kind of Common Stock of
$1,166,666 to the Series B Preferred Stock shareholders.
Common Stock, $.000009 par value, 90,000,000 shares were authorized at
September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. 27,663,451 and 17,772,812 shares
were outstanding at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.
4. Earnings Per Share
For the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 1996 and September 30, 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.
5. Accounting Changes
Previously the Company accounted for the conversion of convertible
debentures, which are issued with conversion rights at a discount to
market, as sale of securities and treated the discount as a cost of capital.
The Company has restated its financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1995 to reclassify the discount as interest and record it as
a cost of borrowing. The effect on income for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was $1,109,589 in additional interest expense.

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 September 30, 1996 as Compared to
Quarter Ended September 30, 1995
The Company's net loss from operations for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 ("1996 third quarter") of $1,922,000 was approximately $2,196,000 less
than its net loss from operations of approximately $4,118,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 ("1995 third quarter").
Total revenue recognized during the 1996 third quarter was $746,620
compared to $1,170,935 in the 1995 third quarter, a decrease of $424,315. An
increase in sales of approximately $236,000 for the 1996 third quarter for the
Company's Consumer Products Group, which includes Lion Golf, was more than
offset by a decline in sales for the
10
<PAGE> 11
Company's Advanced Materials Systems division ("AMS") of approximately
$684,000. 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 third quarter sales are thermoplastic
tape of approximately $78,000 and development contract revenues of $45,000.
Interest income increased by approximately $7,000 in the three months ended
September 30, 1996, as compared to the same period one year ago because of the
greater amount of money the Company had on deposit in interest bearing paper in
1996.
Other income increased approximately $6,000 in the 1996 third quarter. The
primary reason for this increase is that the Company was the beneficiary of
debt forgiven in a financing transaction for the purchase of equipment.
Cost of goods sold for the third quarter of 1996 of $918,666 increased
approximately $150,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1996 vis-a-vis
the three months ended September 30, 1995. The reasons for this increase are
the reduction in gross margins in 1996 due to the Company's change in revenue
source from defense related products to consumer oriented products, along with
inventory product write-downs at the Company's Lion Golf subsidiary.
Research and development expenses were $114,657 in the 1996 third quarter,
which is approximately $101,000 lower than in the 1995 third quarter. The
reason for this decrease is the Company's significant downsizing of its
research and development program. The majority of the Company's remaining
research and development expenditures have been dedicated to the development of
a production facility for golf shafts in Vista, California by the Company's AMS
Division. These development costs were capitalized in the 1996 third quarter.
Production will not commence at this facility until the fourth quarter of 1996.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately
$128,000 to $1,389,135 in the three months ended September 30, 1996 over the
comparable period a year ago. The primary reason for this decrease is that
advertising and trade show expenditures are down, particularly, in the golf
area.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $7,000 to
$191,017 in the third quarter of 1996, an insignificant fluctuation.
Interest expense for the third quarter of 1996 increased from approximately
$3,500 to $54,906. 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. Lastly, interest on the Lion Golf line of
credit is reflected in the 1996 third quarter, which was not present in the
1995 third quarter.
Expenses related to restructuring costs decreased $2,600,000 to $-0- in the
1996 third quarter. The Company established this reserve in 1995 after
evaluating the carrying value of its assets and determining that certain of its
intangibles, in particular goodwill associated with the acquisition of McManis
Sports Associates, were overvalued. In addition, the Company decided that it
would not use the services of various executives. The restructuring costs in
the 1995 third quarter relate to the reserve for these costs.
Results of Operations for Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995
11
<PAGE> 12
The Company's net loss from operations for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 ("1996 period") of $5,818,470 was approximately $1,218,000 less than
its net loss from operations of approximately $7,036,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 ("1995 period"). The decrease in net loss was caused
primarily by the absence in the 1996 period of a reserve for restructuring
costs which existed in the 1995 period. The decrease in net loss was partially
offset, however, by the reduction in gross margins (resulting from the
Company's transition from defense related products to consumer oriented
products) and an increase in interest expense.
Total revenue recognized during the 1996 period was $2,748,870 compared to
$3,489,360 in the 1995 period. This decrease of approximately $740,000 from
the 1995 period resulted from the Company shipping approximately $1,947,000 in
product to its defense related customers in 1995, while in the 1996 period,
there were inconsequential defense related sales. This decline in defense
related sales was somewhat offset by an increase in consumer product sales of
$1,426,000 in the 1996 period.
Interest income in the 1996 period was approximately $48,000, an increase
of $29,000 from the 1995 period, due to the Company having a greater amount of
money invested in interest bearing paper in 1996.
Other income increased by approximately $50,000 in the 1996 period. This
increase resulted primarily from Lion Golf's settlement of a product trademark
dispute with another golf equipment manufacturer pursuant to which Lion Golf
received a lump-sum settlement of $40,000.
Costs of goods sold increased approximately $165,000 in the 1996 period to
$2,691,328. The reason for this increase is the reduction in gross margins in
1996 due to the Company's change in revenue source from defense related
products to consumer oriented products.
Research and development expenses were $373,268 in the 1996 period, a
decrease of approximately $54,000 as compared to the 1995 period. The reason
for this decrease is that a significant portion of the Company's product
development costs in 1996, particularly in the second and third quarters of
1996, have been capitalized into the Vista, California golf shaft manufacturing
facility.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately
$304,000 from $4,351,460 to $4,046,958 in the 1996 period. This decrease is
the result of a decline in advertising and trade show expenditures for the
Wimbledon and McManis product lines.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $46,000 to
$561,056 in the 1996 period, primarily due to the one-time write-off in the
1995 period of machinery and equipment no longer utilized by the Company.
Interest expense for the 1996 period was $894,730, while in the 1995 period
it was $12,895, an increase of approximately $882,000. This increase was
caused by the Company's payment of interest on Lion Golf's working capital line
of credit in 1996 in addition to interest paid on the Company's convertible
debentures including imputed interest of approximately $714,000 for the
discount that convertible debenture investors received from the Company in
private placement transactions.
Expenses related to restructuring costs decreased $2,600,000 to $-0- in the
1996 period. The Company established this reserve in 1995 after evaluating the
carrying value of its assets and determining that certain of its intangibles,
in particular goodwill associated with the acquisition of McManis Sports
Associates, were overvalued. In addition, the Company decided that it would
not use the services of various executives. The restructuring costs in the
1995 period relate to the reserve for these costs.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 1996, the Company had total assets of $8,052,625 and
stockholders' equity of $4,639,666. Current assets were $3,778,528 and current
liabilities were $3,015,516 resulting in working capital of approximately
$750,000 which is a decrease of approximately $1,200,000 from December 31,
1995, when working capital was approximately $2 million. This decrease in
working capital resulted from the Company's continued losses from operations in
the first nine months of calendar 1996.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $1,960,000 from
$2,613.555 at December 31, 1995 to $653,672 at September 30, 1996. This
decrease is due to the Company's use of approximately $4,920,000 to fund its
operations and approximately $1,461,000 to prepare and equip its golf shaft
manufacturing facility in Vista, California and to purchase hockey stick
manufacturing equipment from Vega, U.S.A. These $6,381,000 in expenditures
were partially offset by the Company's raising of additional capital of
approximately $4,500,000 in the 1996 period.
The Company's total accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful
accounts at September 30, 1996, were $1,161,336. Accounts receivable decreased
by approximately $104,000. The primary reasons for this decrease are that the
Company collected its trade receivables from its defense customers which were
outstanding at December 31, 1995, and the decline in revenues in 1996. $4,000
of the $1,161,336 of accounts receivable is related to defense business. The
balance is related to commercial and consumer business. None of the defense
contracting receivables were considered past due, while $140,000 of the
commercial and consumer receivables could be considered doubtful. Of this past
due amount, approximately $110,000 relates to the Wimbledon tennis receivables,
with respect to which the Company was in litigation on November 15, 1996.
Subsequent to November 15, 1996, the Company settled this dispute which
resulted in an over accrual of $75,000 for Wimbledon related liabilities. The
over accrual will be classified as an allowance for doubtful accounts in
periods subsequent to September 30, 1996.
Inventories increased by approximately $288,000. This increase is due to
the build-up of product for the Company's consumer sales. The Company's
inventory products write-down at September 30, 1996, for its Consumer
Products/Lion Golf Division was approximately $230,000. This write-down was
based on a physical inventory taken by the Company at September 30, 1996, along
with a review for obsolete products included in the inventory at that date.
Other current assets increased by approximately $74,000 between September
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. This increase was primarily caused by the
Company's renewal of various insurance policies as of September 30, 1996, and
the prepayment of the premium.
Notes payable decreased by approximately $77,000. This reflects the
Company's decreased usage of its line of credit with the Bank of the Cascades.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased approximately $74,000 from
$2,072,000 at December 31, 1995. This decrease was caused by payments made to
trade vendors and to former employees in 1996. The employee payments were
charged against the reserve for restructuring costs accrued as of December 31,
1995.
Notes payable to related parties decreased $300,000 to zero at September
30, 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.
13
<PAGE> 14
Long term debt increased approximately $41,000 to $397,443 at September 30,
1996. The reason for this increase is the new equipment financing leases the
Company entered into in 1996.
Convertible debentures decreased to $-0- at September 30, 1996 from
$2,250,000 at December 31, 1995. This reflects the debenture holder's
conversion of its debentures to common stock during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
In the first nine months of fiscal 1996, capital expenditures were
approximately $1,511,000. These capital expenditures are an integral part of
the Company's program to construct a golf shaft manufacturing line, a
thermoplastic tape manufacturing line, and a hockey stick 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 $2,750,000 in the first
nine 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 nine months of fiscal 1996, after giving
effect to the repayment of debt, totaled approximately $4,500,000 during the
period ended September 30, 1996.
The Company believes that funds provided by operations and cash on hand
(approximately $650,000 at September 30, 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 additional monies from the sale of convertible
securities prior to the end of fiscal 1996 and during fiscal 1997 of at least
$5,000,000. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able
to raise additional funds, and that even if raised, that such funds will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash requirements for the remainder of 1996
and 1997.
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
towards 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 such time as which the
Company's consumer product programs generate sufficient revenues. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to raise additional funds
from third parties, or even that if raised, such funds will be sufficient to
fund the Company's product programs until such programs are able to generate
enough revenue to support themselves. If the Company is unable to meet its
cash requirements, it may be required to defer for a period of time, or
indefinitely, the design, development, fabrication and marketing of new
products and the marketing of existing products and materials in new markets.
The Company believes that it can achieve viability and profitability by
continuing to expand sales of consumer sporting goods 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. Management also
expects sales of composite based lacrosse sticks and continuing efforts to
develop and market other consumer products should contribute to the Company's
viability and profitability. There can be no assurances that the Company's
transition to consumer oriented products will succeed to the extent necessary
to make the Company profitable. Nor can there be any assurances that Lion
Golf's manufacturing expertise and access to distribution
14
<PAGE> 15
channels will be sufficient for the Company to overcome institutional
resistance to the use of thermoplastic composite materials in sporting
equipment products, or to the intense competition in this field.
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.
