NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information for the three and nine-month periods ended September
30, 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 and nine-month periods ended September
30, 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 earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. Statement 128 replaces

                                      5

<PAGE>
                  ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

primary EPS 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

QUARTER TO QUARTER RESULTS

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 was 10 years with amortization of the
principal over 20 years. The interest rate on this mortgage was 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.

                  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, Joseph P. Donnolo, is the
President and Chairman of the Company. The Company believes that the terms of
the redemption were fair to the Company and the same as those 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 was 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.

General and administrative expenses were $35,314 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to $91,204 for the same period in 1997. This
difference results primarily from legal fees incurred in 1997,

                                    8

<PAGE>
                  ADVATEX ASSOCIATES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

which were not incurred in 1998.

Interest expense was $16,922 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to no interest expense for the same period in 1998. Interest expense
was accrued at 8% for the outstanding balance of the note payable-affiliate
during fiscal 1997 (see Part II - Item I - Legal Proceedings).

YEAR TO DATE RESULTS

Revenue from the real estate management fee for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997 was $24,000 as compared to none for the same period in 1998.
As indicated above, following the redemption of the ATC shares, additional
management fee income is not expected.

General and administrative expenses were $72,223 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to $191,571 for the same period in 1997. This
difference results primarily from legal fees incurred in 1997, which were not
incurred in 1998.

Interest expense was $40,922 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as
compared to no interest expense for the same period in 1998. Interest expense
was accrued at 8% for the outstanding balance of the note payable- affiliate
during fiscal 1997 (see Part II - Item I - Legal Proceedings).

                  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 1998, the Company's current ratio, that is, the ratio of
current assets to current liabilities, was 5.60 to 1 as compared to 4.14 to 1 at
December 31, 1997. Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 was $71,683 as compared to cash used in operating
activities of $1,509,595 for the same period in 1997. The positive cash flow
from operations for the current nine-month period ended September 30, 1998 is
primarily due to the decrease of Note Receivable-Affiliate of $146,500,
partially offset by a net loss of $61,723.

The Company has experienced substantial operating losses over the past 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 availability 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

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

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 Mrs. Donnolo for the 
payment of the settlement, the Company made a cash payment to Mrs. Donnolo of 
$100,000 and issued her a note in the amount of $600,000. This Note was paid in
full on September 15, 1997.

To management's knowledge, there are no other pending or contemplated legal
proceedings against the Company that could be reasonably expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial position.
