financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310
of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements at, and for the fiscal year ended,
April 30, 1998. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months

which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future
benefits.
Direct-response advertising consists primarily of magazine
advertisements that include response coupons for the Company's
products. The capitalized costs of the advertising are amortized as
sales are recognized over a period, not to exceed three years.
At January 31, 1999, approximately $190,000 of advertising was
reported as assets, of which $29,757 was non-current and $160,321 was
current. Advertising expense was approximately $25,517 for the nine
months ended January 31, 1999.

an escrow agent. The Company has issued the shares upon satisfaction
of the deposit with the escrow agent and creation of share
certificates bearing the new corporate name. Reclassification of
equity accounts is required to properly state the balance of the

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION
REFORM ACT OF 1995.
The statements which are not historical facts contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB are forward looking statements that involve
a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, all
of which are difficult or impossible to predict and many of which are
beyond the control of the Company, which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from
any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by
such forward looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited
to, uncertainty regarding market acceptance of current artwork and the
ability to successfully develop and market new artwork, the impact of
supply constraints, uncertainties relating to customer plans and
commitments, competition, uncertainties relating to economic conditions in
the markets in which the Company operates, the ability to hire and retain
key personnel and the ability to obtain additional capital if required. The
words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", and "seek" and similar expressions
identify forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date the statement was made.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's ability to meet its financial needs depends upon funds
generated from operating activities, accounts receivable and inventories,
short-term borrowing capacity and the ability to obtain long-term capital
on satisfactory terms. For the nine months ended January 31, 1999, the
company experienced negative cash flow from operating activities of
$385,573. This was due to increases in accounts receivable, direct
acquisition costs and inventory. The Company anticipates that in the
fiscal year ending April 30, 1999, its annual working capital requirements
will be in the range of $1 million. The Company anticipates that, based on
its current projections, its cash and capital resources should be
sufficient to meet its financing requirements throughout the balance of the
fiscal year. The Company will continue its efforts to increase sales,
maintain margins, reduce inventory levels and minimize operational costs.
However, the Company can make no assurances that it will meet its current
projections. The Company may seek to raise additional capital through the
sale of a convertible debenture or common stock or some type of debt
financing during the fiscal year ending April 30, 1999. However there can
be no assurances that financing can be obtained or, if obtained, that it
will be of a sufficient quantity to meet the company's immediate needs or
that it will be on reasonable terms.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998
Sales for the three months ended January 31, 1999 were $622,914, an
increase of $422,431 or 211% compared with the same period in 1998. This
increase was due to its promotional activities, sales of artwork through
the publishing side of Registrant's business and the opening of its new
gallery in Tarzana, California. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was
37% and 24% for the three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase in the cost of sales percentage from 1998 to
1999 was primarily the result of the changes in sales mix. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased $303,651, or 250% in the first three
months ended January 31, 1999, compared with the same period the previous
year. Stated as a percentage of sales, these expenses were 63% and 58% for
the first three months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Selling expenses include such items as retail sales location occupancy
costs, advertising, sales commissions, brochures and other promotional
material costs, freight and certain salary expenses. General and
administrative expenses include all corporate overhead costs. Selling
expenses have remained relatively higher primarily due to increased
promotional costs and fixed and variable compensation associated with the
increase in sales. Sales location occupancy costs also increased over the
same period last year due to the opening of the Company's new gallery and
the acquisition of RM&M's framing shops. Depreciation, amortization and
other expenses increased as compared with the same period last year.
Overall, the Company's net income for the three months ended January 31,
1999 has increased $78,773, or 278%, from the same three-month period for
the previous year. Through January 31, 1999, the Company's sales have
been generated primarily by the works of approximately seven of the
Company's published artists.
NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1998
Sales for the nine months ended January 31, 1999 were $1,779,672, an
increase of $1,295,755 or 267% compared with the same period in 1998. This
increase was due to its promotional activities, sales of artwork through
the publishing side of Registrant's business and the opening of its new
gallery in Tarzana, California. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was
33% and 21% for the nine months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The increase in the cost of sales percentage from 1998 to
1999 was primarily the result of the changes in sales mix. Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased $848,940, or 300%, in the first nine
months ended January 31, 1999, compared with the same period the previous
year. Stated as a percentage of sales, these expenses were 63% and 58% for
the first nine months ended January 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Selling expenses include such items as retail sales location occupancy
costs, advertising, sales commissions, brochures and other promotional
material costs, freight and certain salary expenses. General and
administrative expenses include all corporate overhead costs. Selling
expenses have remained relatively higher primarily due to increased
promotional costs and fixed and variable compensation associated with the
increase in sales. Sales location occupancy costs also increased over the
same period last year due to the opening of the Company's new gallery and
the acquisition of RM&M's framing shops. Depreciation, amortization and
other expenses increased as compared with the same period last year.
Overall, the Company's net income for the nine months ended January 31,
1999 has increased $118,501, or 130% from the same nine month period for
the previous year. Through January 31, 1999, the Company's sales have
been generated primarily by the works of approximately seven of the
Company's published artists. This also includes a substantial order of
approximately $200,000 from the Company's largest customer.
The Company's strategy is to continue to seek to attract new
promising artists and to promote their works while providing the consumer
with substantial value at reasonable prices. The Company also intends to
establish a network of sales agents throughout the country to sell its
newly-acquired Heart of America line of artwork which is moderately priced
and is typically sold in gift shops. The Company intends to continue to
seek out acquisition candidates for privately-owned art framing shops
throughout the country. The Company hopes to convert these framing retail
outlets into fine art galleries with art framing sales offices whereby all
art framing operations will be performed in regional framing centers to be
located through the country. Although management is of the opinion that
administrative expenses will continue to rise as a result of its plan to
acquire and consolidate art galleries and art-framing operations, by
expanding its gallery facilities and moving all material handling and
cutting operations to regional centers, the Company believes it will
realize substantial economies of scale in the foreseeable future.
Effective August 1, 1998, R. M. & M. Acquisitions, Inc. (RAI), a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant,
closed a merger transaction with R M & M Framemakers, Inc. (RM&M), a New
York corporation engaged in the art framing and gallery business. The
transaction was closed on August 5, 1998, pursuant to a Merger Agreement
and an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization each dated as of August 1, 1998
by and among RAI, the Registrant ,RM&M and Robert and Susan Mohr, the sole
shareholders of RM&M. At the closing, all of the issued and outstanding
shares of common stock of RM&M, no par value, were delivered to RAI in
exchange for 645,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock of the
Registrant. Prior to the merger, RM&M owned and operated six art framing
shops and galleries in the Upstate New York area. In January 1999, the
Company entered into an agreement to sell the business operations of RM&M
back to its original shareholders. The closing of this transaction has
not been completed as of March 15, 1999, and negotiations are ongoing. In
contemplation of the transaction, the Company has recorded the transaction
as if it occurred in accordance with the terms of the agreement. As of
January 17, 1999 the business operations of RM&M have not been included in
the operations or Balance Sheet of the Company, and the Company's Income
Per Share for the three and nine months ended January 31, 1999 have been
calculated as if the 645,000 shares of Common Stock issued in the original
transaction were returned to the Company's treasury on January 17, 1999.
If the closing does not occur for any reason, the Company will have to
restate the Company's financial statements for the third quarter. In
connection with this transaction, the Company has recorded a note
receivable of $308,315.

4. At the time of the delivery of the above described documents, Mohr
will return to Palm all but 75,000 shares of the Palm Desert Art,
Inc. stock currently owned by them. The remaining 75,000 shares of
that stock will be returned upon either upon receipt by Mohr of proof

either of them) are personally liable, have been paid and the Mohrs
have received enforceable releases from Key Bank or ninety (90) days

later.

Palm an additional. fee of 10% (up to a total of $188,000) of these
sales for territorial development considerations.

paid will be selected by Mohr from the list of outstanding payables
supplied by Palm and/or RAI.
7. This agreement shall be effective as of January 17, 1999. While it
is understood that the legal documents needed to complete the
retransfer of assets will not be completed until after that date, the
parties agree that Mohr may operate the stores and wholesale business
as of that date ant that all business transacted after that date
shall belong to and shall be the obligation of Mohr or such entity as
Mohr creates to operate the business.
