                                (Unaudited)

Note 1

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by GC
International, Inc., ("GCI") without audit, and include all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1997,
and June 30, 1996, and the results of it's operation for the three
months and nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange commission, although the
Company believes that disclosure in such financial statements is
adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The last
audited financial statements of GCI were for the year ended June 30,
1989. Since that time, GCI has been unable to bear the cost of an audit
as a result of its financial condition. GCI has engaged an auditor to
audit the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The results of operations for the nine-months ended March
31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of the full year.

Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Comparison of nine months ended March 31, 1997, and March 31, 1996.

The Company's sales for the nine months ending March 31, 1997, increased
$209,350 or 5.4% over the comparable period of the prior year, generally
reflecting the increase in new orders received by the Company s ALJ division
as a result of the general strength in the economy.

The backlog which was approximately $1,168,000 at June 30, 1996, has remained
relatively constant throughout the nine months and at March 31, 1997 was
approximately $1,177,000. However, lower orders in March, will result in
reduced shipments and profits during the fourth quarter. This was expected, as
one large customer s orders have been filled.

The cost of sales decreased slightly to 68.5% compared to 69.4% in the prior
year period, primarily as a result of increased efficiencies in manufacturing. 
Operating expenses increased to $331,911 compared to $280,493 in the prior
period primarily as a result of increased investment in the company s sales
representative program and marketing expense. Interest expense on bank debt
decreased as a result of the reduction in principal.  As a result, profit for
the quarter was $80,057 or 6.1%  compared to $32,327 or 2.5% for the prior
year.  The profit per share (undiluted) for the nine month period increased to
$0.05/ share compared to $0.04/share in the prior period.

During the nine month period the company exhausted its Net Operating Loss
carry forward for California income tax purposes and began paying or accruing
a state tax charge of 9% of profits.  The federal Net Operating Loss carry
forward  will preclude the Company from paying federal income taxes for 1997. 
However, it is anticipated that a nominal alternative minimum federal tax in
the approximate amount of $1,250 will be due.

Ongoing Operations Plan
- -----------------------

Management views the existing positive cash flow ($91,824 for the nine months
ending March 31, 1997) as sufficient to meet the operating needs of the
company and to make any required payments on outstanding debts as scheduled or
required. The company has been and intends to continue making settlements on
the pre-petition creditor notes wherever possible for less than the note
balance.

The company s plan of operations anticipates a modest 5% increase in sales for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998 and will concentrate efforts on improving
the manufacturing operations and margins by increasing efficiency and yields,
thereby increasing cash flow availability. This plan is anticipated to provide
the necessary cash required to meet future obligations.

In addition, the company s bank loan, which had required monthly payments of
principal of $16,000 per month, was paid in full on April 23, 1997. Therefore,
the company s available cash flow increases immediately by $16,000.00 per
month or $192,000.00 per year.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Bank Loan Agreement

Bank Loan Agreement
- -------------------

The Company's loan agreement with its bank was renewed until June 1, 1997. 
The agreement required principal payments of $16,000/month; the loan bears
interest at a rate of 2-1/2% above the bank's prime rate.  As of March 31,
1997, outstanding borrowings on the loan were $24,508 as compared to $221,227
a year earlier. On April 23, 1997, the loan was paid in full.

Long Term Debt
- --------------

Long-term Debt includes financed equipment and automobile purchases.  Other
long-term Debt includes the long-term portion of the Notes owed to Pre-
petition Creditors (see Other Impacts on Liquidity Note 2)

Liquidity
- ---------

As of March 31, 1997, the Company's cash position was $267,879 and working
capital was a negative $378,752, compared to cash of $133,025 and negative
working capital of $723,163 in the prior year.   The cash position improved
during the quarter as a result of the profit of the Company. 

Other Impacts on Liquidity
- --------------------------

The Company's liquidity is continuing to be positive and negatively impacted
because of the following factors.

(1)  The company reported continuing profits and positive cash flow for the
three months and nine month period ending March 31, 1997.  

(2)  The Company must make payments to Pre-petition Creditors in accordance
with the Plan of Reorganization under the Company s 1990 bankruptcy filing,
which was discharged in 1991. Due to the cash shortage of the Company in the
past, few payments have been made to creditors.  Although the Company is in
default with substantially all of the creditors, the Company is working to
settle with certain creditors who have requested payment.  The creditor notes
generally do not provide for any specific remedies or for acceleration in the
event of non-payment. 

(3)  The Company settled an interim claim with the EPA for $100,000 plus
interest for a Superfund Site cleanup in connection with waste generated by
the company's former Raytee division. The Company made the first payment of
$20,000 in August 1996.  Payments of $20,000 plus fixed interest are due each
successive August with the last payment due August 2000.  The amount that may
be due for the Final Claim is unknown at the present time.

Based on the settlement reached with the EPA in August 1996 for the interim
claim, the Company believes that it s reserve for any future liability in the
amount of $227,217 is adequate to cover any final settlement.

Capital Equipment Requirements and Equipment Leases
- ---------------------------------------------------

The Company, from time to time, has satisfied certain of its capital equipment
requirements by entering into equipment leases with third parties or purchase
arrangements with the equipment manufacturers. During 1996 and 1997, the
Company has been able to arrange satisfactory equipment and automobile leases
or purchase contracts.  

The Company anticipates that additional capital equipment will be required for
the Company's operating divisions during 1997.  Because of the Company's
negative net worth and lack of working capital, it may not be possible to
lease or purchase some or all of such equipment on terms satisfactory to the
Company.  If sufficient capital equipment is not available, the Company could
be materially adversely affected.  In addition, a continued shortage of
capital resources could materially adversely affect the ability of the Company
to make needed improvements and increase profit margins.

The Company will use its best efforts to satisfy its capital needs by using
internally generated cash in excess of mandated debt repayments and by
entering into other arrangements as available.  There can be no assurances
that cash resources will be adequate.
