NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Presented in United States Dollars)
Unaudited
(1) INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods presented. The results for the three months ended June 30, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.
These financial statements, notes and analyses should be read in conjunction
with the Company's annual financials for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
(2) LOSS PER SHARE
Loss per share was based on the weighted average number of common shares
31,869,285 and 19,390,909 outstanding during the three month period ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
(3) INCOME TAXES
The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $420,000 for
Canada and $1,143,000 for the U.K.
(4) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of June 30, 1997, funds are owed by the Company totaling $46,027 to the
president of the Company. As of March 31, 1997, the Company owed the president
$20,228. At June 30, 1997 $4,421 had been advanced to the president of the

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion And Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Results of Operation
Revenues during the three months ended June 30, 1997 were well in excess
of revenues for the comparable period in 1996 as the Company's facility in
Wales, United Kingdom continued to come on-line and sales continued to
increase. Revenues in the first fiscal quarter of 1998 also are above those
for the Company's last fiscal quarter of 1997. The Company's cost of sales as
a percentage of revenues increased dramatically in the first fiscal quarter of
1998 as a result of stainless steel prices declining worldwide causing the
Company to recognize, for financial reporting purposes, the use of higher cost
inventory which was acquired before the decline of stainless steel prices. The
Company, therefore, suffered a loss at the margin level of $636,255. The
Company believes its operations will continue to be affected by pricing
worldwide for stainless steel products both at the revenue level and at the
cost of sales level.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the first fiscal
quarter over the comparable period in the prior year as a result of increased
staffing at the Company's facility and increased marketing and promotional
expenses for the Company's products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 1997 the Company had cash of $4,549,267 and net accounts
receivable of $468,282. The Company continues to consume cash on a quarterly
basis to fund prior losses, to purchase inventory as sales continue to increase
and to finance accounts receivable. While the Company's liquidity position is
good as of June 30, 1997, as the Company's operations continue to expand, the
Company may be required to seek outside sources of additional debt and/or
equity funds.
