Financial Condition and Liquidity 
- ---------------------------------

     The company's current ratio at April 30, 1998 is 3.59 versus 2.87 at
July 31, 1997.  The current ratio has improved from .49 on July 31, 1993
to 3.59 on April 30, 1998. 

     The Company will need capital to support the growth of Hart

Hart Scientific and from certain subleases held by Lifschultz Fast
Freight will be sufficient to meet the cash needs of the Company.  Hart
Scientific has approximately $475,000 in unused lines of credit
available.

     shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the
     designations, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of
     each such series and the qualifications, limitations or
     restrictions thereof.

     terms of such voting rights;
          (d)     Whether that series shall have conversion
     privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such
     conversion, including provision for adjustment of the conversion
     rate in such events as the Board of Directors shall determine;
          (e)     Whether or not the shares of that series shall be
     redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such
     redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they
     shall be redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of
     redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and
     at different redemption dates;
          (f)     Whether that series shall have a sinking fund for
     the redemption or purchase of shares of that series, and, if so,
     the terms and amount of such sinking fund;
          (g)     The rights of the shares of that series in the event
     of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
     up of the Corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if
     any, of payment of shares of that series;
          (h)     Any other relative rights, preferences, and
     limitations of that series.

     with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 17, 1991, for
     Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and on March 31, 1994, for
