          FOOTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying statements, which should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in theNovember 30, 1998 fiscal
year end Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB, are unaudited but have been
prepared in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of providing
information with respect to the interim periods, and are subject to audit
at the close of the year.  However, it is the opinion of the management
of the Company that all adjustments (none of which were other than normal
recurring accruals except as disclosed herein) necessary for a fair
presentation of such periods have been included.

The Consolidated Financial Statements prepared for fiscal years
1998, 1997, 1996, 1995,1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991 were unaudited because
the Company elected to not incur the expense of an audit and to conserve
its cash for other corporate requirements.

In November 1992, the Company determined to discontinue the operations of
L-Bar Products Incorporated (L-Bar), a wholly owned subsidiary.

As described in Legal Proceedings below, the litigation with Northwest Alloys
was settled.  Accordingly, the reserve for estimated losses related to
L-Bar Products was reduced.  The Company also received and canceled the
500,000 shares of common stock it had issued to Northwest Alloys pursuant
to the October 28, 1991 stock purchase agreement.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

	Results of Operations

		Second quarter ended May 31, 1999 compared
		with the second quarter ended May 31, 1998

For the second quarter ended May 31, 1999, the Company had a net loss
of $355,386 or $0.11 per share as compared to a net loss from operations
of $73,287 or $0.02 per share for the same period last year.  Included
in the current quarter is a nonrecurring loss of $817,110 from the sale
of a property and a nonrecurring gain of $973,246 from the reduction in
reserves for estimated losses related to discontinued operations at
L-Bar Products.

The Company's revenues for the second quarter were $39,082 as compared
to $470,718 for the same period last year.  The revenues decreased because
of equity losses from affiliates, which are not expected to improve until
the fourth quarter.  The sales at the Company's silica sand operation
increased primarily due to an increase in purchases by its glass customer.
Sales to this customer should begin to improve in the fourth quarter, as
the Company is nearly finished installation of  equipment to lower the
sand's iron content.  Upon completion of the project, sales volume should,
as a minimum, return to 1997 levels (on a pro rata basis).  The plant
improvement program is scheduled to be completed by the end of third quarter.

The current general and administration costs decreased to $162,847 from
$208,772 due to a reduction in legal and deferred compensation expenses.
Some of the expenses contained in the general and administrative costs,
pertaining to salaries of the officers and deferred compensation, have been
accrued but not paid, as the Company is conserving its cash.

		Six months ended May 31, 1999 compared
		with the six months ended May 31, 1998

six months are nonrecurring losses of $817,110 and $101,000 from the sale
of a property and from the settlement of certain obligations related to
L-Bar Products, respectively.  There was also a nonrecurring gain of
$973,246 from the reduction in reserves for estimated losses related to
discontinued operations at L-Bar Products.

The Company's revenues for the six months were $126,941 as compared to
$1,016,548 for the same period last year.  The sales at the Company's
silica sand operation increased primarily due to an increase in purchases
by its glass customer.

  	Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Period from December 1, 1998 to May 31, 1999

The Company's net cash used by operating activities was $244,927 and
$360,491 for the six months ended May 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The net cash provided by investing activities was $225,483 and used by
investing activities was $53,980 for the six months ended May 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  Most of the cash used by investing activities in
1998 and 1997 was for capital improvements to the sand project.  The Company
increased its long term debt $104,485 and reduced its long term debt by
$93,139 for the six months ended May 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Working capital decreased $150,546 for the six months.  The decrease in
working capital includes salaries, directors fees, deferred compensation
and certain interest charges which have been accrued but not paid.  The
working capital deficit increased as a result of the operating losses.  As
part of the Company's program to conserve cash in order to operate the
Company, part of the salaries due to the officers of the Company, all of
the deferred compensation due to the deceased chairman's spouse (ending
in January 1998) and part of the interest due on certain loans were
accrued but not paid.  As of May 31, 1999, these accruals (salaries,
deferred compensation and deferred interest) exceeded $2.8 million.

The Company has spend approximately $550,000 in 1999 on capital improvements
to the sand plant and expects to fund this through additional borrowing.
The Company plans to continue to accrue part of the obligations described
in the above paragraph and expects to continue to generate sufficient cash
flow to operate.

Year 2000 (Y2K).  The Company uses a packaged accounting system, which the
vendor has represented to be Y2K compliant. However, the Company plans to
purchase and install some module upgrades later in the year.  The Company
has implemented Y2K compliant software upgrades to its payroll system.  The
Company's in the process of contacting its primary customers to determine
if they are Y2K compliant.

The Company's significant subsidiary also uses a packaged accounting software
system, which the developer has represented to be Y2K compliant.  Potentially
affected systems include thesignificant subsidiary's management information
system, certain manufacturing equipment, certain owned equipment in the field
and other office equipment.  The significant subsidiary has implemented a
Y2K task force to address all related Y2K issues and estimates it is 90%
complete of all testing and corrections as of May 31, 1999.  The significant
subsidiary also believes it will be fully compliant by August 31, 1999.

Management believes that Y2K will not have a material effect on the Company
or its significant subsidiary or its results of operation.  Because the
information technology system at the significant subsidiary was recently
upgraded in the normal course of operations, the costs of Y2K compliance
are not expected to be material.

The Company and its significant subsidiary are taking all reasonable steps
to ensure Y2K compliance.  However, this ability may be dependent on other
Parties and the Company and its significant subsidiary can not provide
assurance that there will not be problems.
