Management anticipates the loss from operations for the three and nine
months ended August 31, 1997 to be $665,763 and $1,167,617 as compared to
$232,494 and $733,197 for the corresponding periods in 1996. Revenue for
the three and nine month period ended August 31, 1997 was $1,477,284 and
$4,533,411 as compared to $1,124,503 and $3,674,243 in 1996. Operating
expenses were $1,393,360 and $3,739,591 for the three and nine months
ended August 31, 1997 as compared to $1,069,922 and $3,177,988 for the
corresponding periods in 1996. The increase in the loss from operations
was primarily due to increased competitive pressure, and increases in
certain operating expenses in anticipation of revenue that did not
materialize.
Other income and expense for the three and nine months period in 1997 was
($22,420) and $28,057 respectively as compared to $11,184 and $68,231 for
the comparable period in 1996. Gain on disposition of property in the

building in Houston, Texas during the three month period ended August 31,
1997and previously described on form 8-K amounted to $881,311 and the
write down of certain assets amounted to $161,749.
Management anticipates the net income/loss, after giving effect to the
gain on disposition of property, for the three and nine month period in
1997 to be $14,178 and ($221,310) as compared to ($465,865) and ($664,966)
for the comparable periods in 1996.
