Notes to Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to form
10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
form 10-KSB filed for the year ended December 31, 1997.
Basic (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a "going
concern" basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The Company has incurred operating losses during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, and 1997, aggregating $80,837 and $125,547,
and has negative working capital of $280,854 at September 30, 1998.
During the periods presented, the Company has not generated positive
cash flow from operations and there can be no assurance that the
trend will not continue. Profitable operations are dependent upon,
among other factors, the Company's ability to obtain equity or debt
financing.
The Company is unable to project a level of revenue which would allow
a reversal of its history of operating losses in the near future. The
Company's continued operations are dependent upon its ability to
restructure its existing debt and to obtaining financing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Trends and Uncertainties: The Company has tried to eliminate the
major variables of interest rates and operating expenses.
Capital and Sources of Liquidity: During the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 the Company's principal source of funding was
derived from operations, loans from shareholders and proceeds from
the sale of common stock.
The Company currently has no material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company recently terminated its office lease which
the Company had previously been leasing at a base rental of $1,200
per month. The Company leases 400 square feet of storage space for
its parts and chemicals on a month to month basis for a monthly rent
of $110.
The Company received proceeds from the sale of office equipment of
$5,731, purchased office equipment of $1,462 and paid $500 for a
trade note receivable during the nine months ended September 30,
1998, resulting in net cash provided by investing activities of
$3,769.
The Company purchased office equipment of $1,293 and acquired options
on real estate for $4,000 during the nine months ended September 30,
1997, resulting in net cash used in investing activities of $5,293.
The Company received advances from shareholders of $71,641, proceeds
from the sale of common stock of $96,000, and proceeds from a note
payable of $2,976 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998,
resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of $170,617.
The Company received advances from shareholders of $47,043 during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, resulting in net cash provided
by financing activities of $47,043.

there can be no assurance that the trend will not continue.

a reversal of its history of operating losses in the near future. In
this regard, the Company is attempting to restructure its existing
debt.
1998 Compared to 1997: For the nine months ended September 30, 1998,

of $125,547 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The Company

Cost of sales decreased from $41,840 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, to $20,536 during the nine months ended September
30, 1998, due to decreased merchandise sales.
General and administrative expenses increased from $138,194 during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, to $208,873 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, due to more money spent to acquire

months ended September 30, 1997, to $33,167 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998.
