ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And
         Results Of Operations.

Results of Operation.

         During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company commenced
initial shipments of product from its facilty in Wales, United Kingdom.
Revenues were $89,248 with cost of sales of $58,010.  The Company's selling,
general and administrative expenses were $228,245 reflecting costs incurred in
maintaining the facility pending completion of the Company's financing which
occurred in July 1996.  As the Company acquired the steel mill facility in
November 1995 there are no comparable results of operations for the fiscal
quarter ended June 30, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         In July 1996 the Company raised $10,800,000 in equity.  These funds
are sufficient for the Company to pursue its business objectives to increase to
full production of the Company's steel mill facility and purchase raw inventory
for sales of the Company's stainless steel products.
