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

(1)      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial information for the three and six-month periods ended
June 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 six-month periods ended
June 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.
Statement 128 replaces primary EPS and Fully Diluted EPS with

                                        6


<PAGE>

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

         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 statement 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

         Revenue from the real estate management fee for the three-month period
ended June 30, 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

                                        7


<PAGE>

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.

         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.
Accordingly, the Company no longer receives the 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 are 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

                                        8


<PAGE>

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 $16,106 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $48,006 for the same period in 1997. This
difference results primarily from legal fees incurred in 1997 which were not
incurred in 1998.

         Interest expenses were $12,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997
as compared to no interest expenses 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 six month period
ended June 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, there was no
longer fee income.

         General and administrative expenses were $36,908 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $100,366 for the same period in 1997. This
difference results primarily from legal fees incurred in 1997 which were not
incurred in 1998.

         At June 30, 1998, the Company's current ratio, that is, the ratio of
current assets to current liabilities, was 5.55 to 1 as compared to 4.14 to 1 at
December 31, 1997. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 was $100,048 as compared to cash used in operating
activities of $135,841 for the same period in 1997. The positive cash flow from
operations for the current six-month period ended June 30, 1998 is primarily due
to the decrease of Note Receivable-Affiliate of $146,500, partially offset by a
net loss of $29,908.

         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 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 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.
