                    ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                             March 31, 1998 and 1997

(1)      Basis of Presentation
The financial information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and
1997 included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results for
the interim periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in the Company's December 31,
1997 annual report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(2) FASB Statement No 128 "Earnings Per Share"
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.128, "Earnings Per Share",
(Statement 128). Statement 128 supersedes APB Opinion No.15, "Earnings Per
Share", and specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements
for earning per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. Statement 128 replaces primary EPS


<PAGE>

                    ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

and Fully Diluted EPS with Basic EPS and Diluted EPS, respectively. Statement
128 also requires dual presentation of Basic and Diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for entities with complex capital structures and a
reconciliation of the information utilized to calculate Basic EPS to that used
to calculate Diluted EPS.

Statement 128 is effective for financial statements periods ending after
December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted. After adoption, all
prior period EPS is required to be restated to conform with Statement 128.

Item 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue from the real estate management fee for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1997 was $12,000 as compared to none for the same period in 1998. On
September 9, 1994 the Company purchased 40% of the outstanding common stock of
ATC Real Estate and Development Corporation ("ATC") through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Advatex Real Estate Corporation ("AREC"). As part of this
transaction the Company entered into a contract with ATC to manage and operate
ATC's property. Under this agreement the Company received 3% of annual gross
receipts as a management fee. On April 11, 1997 ATC entered into a mortgage loan
of $3,750,000 with a financial institution with ATC's property serving as a
collateral. The term of the mortgage is 10 years with amortization of the
principal over 20 years. The interest rate on this mortgage is 8.17%.

On May 5, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to effect a
merger between its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, AREC which owns shares of
common stock of ATC and Alorex Corp., a New York corporation ("Alorex"),
pursuant to which Alorex would be the surviving corporation. This merger was
completed in June 1997.

On July 31, 1997, ATC paid a cash dividend of $98,000 to Alorex in respect of
its ownership of 40% of ATC's common stock as successor to AREC's ownership.


<PAGE>

                    ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

In addition, on August 1, 1997, pursuant to a certain Redemption Agreement
between ATC and Alorex, the 40% ownership of ATC by Alorex was redeemed by ATC
for $2,054,557. The manner of payment consisted of $1,604,557 in cash and
$450,000 in cancellation of certain indebtedness of Alorex to ATC. The Company
no longer receives certain management fee and other income it received as a
result of its 40% ownership of ATC and has no revenue generating operations at
this time.

At the same time as the redemption of the 40% ownership of ATC, all but one of
the other shareholders of ATC similarly agreed to have their shares redeemed for
the same purchase price per share. The remaining shareholder of ATC is Advanced
Contracting, Inc., a majority shareholder of which is Joseph P. Donnolo, the
President and chairman of the Company. The Company believes that the terms of
the redemption are fair to the Company and the same as that which would have
been obtained in an arm's-length transaction. The valuation of ATC which led to
the pricing of the redemption was based in substantial part on an independent
appraisal of ATC's principal asset, an office building in East Brunswick, New
Jersey. The Company also believes that agreeing to redeem the 40% ownership of
ATC is in the best interest of the Company.

The Company used part of the proceeds from redemption of its 40% ownership of
ATC to pay certain indebtedness. The Company will use the balance of the
proceeds from the sale of investment in affiliated companies to search for other
business opportunities.


<PAGE>

                    ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

General and administrative expenses were $20,802 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 as compared to $52,360 for the same period in 1997. The decrease
in general and administrative expenses were as a result of reduced
administrative activities.

Interest expense was $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as
compared to none for the same period in 1998. Interest expense was paid at 8%
for the outstanding balance of the note payable-affiliate during fiscal 1997. In
September 1997 the Company repaid this note in full, therefore, no interest
expense accrued during the current period. (see Part II - Item I -Legal
Proceedings).

Interest income was $3,500 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared
to none for the same period in 1997.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1998, the Company's current ratio, that is, the ratio of current
assets to current liabilities, was 5.09 to 1 as compared to 4.14 to 1 at
December 31, 1997. Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 was $20,900 as compared to $109,336 for the same period in 1997.
The negative cash flow from operations for the current three-month period ended
March 31, 1998 is primarily due to the net loss of $17,302.

The Company has experienced substantial operating losses over the past


<PAGE>


                    ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

several years. The Company has sought to minimize general and administrative
expenses, however, losses may continue in the future years which may require the
Company to obtain additional funds from its affiliates or other third party
sources. There can be no assurance as to the availibility and terms of such
funding.

PART II - Other Information

Item 1

Legal Proceedings
On June 24, 1993, the Mason Tenders District Council fringe benefit funds,
certain other industry funds and the District Council itself named the Company
and certain other companies with whom the Company did business as defendants in
a suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York {92 CIV.
3572 (KTD)} under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") and the
Labor-Management Relation Act. The suit sought recovery in excess of one million
dollars in actual damages and ten million dollars in punitive damages for the
alleged nonpayment of union dues, fringe benefit contributions and other
contributions allegedly required by the District Council's collective bargaining
agreement. The suit was settled in a stipulation and order approved and entered
by the court, to which the Company was a party, which called for a payment of
$700,000. The payment of the entire settlement amount was made by Angela
Donnolo, the wife of the controlling stockholder who is the Company's chief
executive officer, releasing the controlling stockholder and the Company from
liability in the lawsuit. In order to reimburse Ms. Donnolo for the payment of
the settlement, the Company made a cash payment to Mrs. Donnolo


<PAGE>

                    ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

of $100,000 and issued her a note in the amount of $600,000. This Note was
paid in full on September 15, 1997.
