                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

S-X.  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  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ending September
30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the fiscal year ending March 31,  1996.  For further  information,  refer to the
financial  statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.



NOTE B--RECLASSIFICATION

The 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the format of
the 1995 presentation.

shares of common  stock  and  common  stock  equivalents  outstanding  under the
treasury stock method.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Results of Operations - Three Months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to Three
Months ended September 30, 1994.

         Interest and dividend  income  increased to $16,522 in the three months
ended  September  30, 1995 from $12,568 in the three months ended  September 30,
1994.  This  increase  is a result of  increasing  rates of  interest  earned on
available cash  investments  during the three months ended September 30, 1995 as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1994.

         Farm rental revenues  decreased  slightly to $2,736 in the three months
ended  September  30, 1995 from $2,964 in the three months ended  September  30,
1994 due to a $5/acre  rent  concession  in the  Schleman  Farm  Lease  given in
consideration  of the  uncertainty  of crop yields due to  abnormally  inclement
weather.  Farm related operating costs and expenses  increased  slightly to $483
from $382 due to cost increases in the market place.

         General and  administrative  expenses increased to $30,161 in the three
months ended September 30, 1995 from $13,013 in the three months ended September
30,  1994.  This  increase  is  primarily  the  result of a change in the annual
meeting  date (which  caused  expenses of such  meeting to be  recognized  in an
earlier quarter) and increased legal fees.

         As a result of the above  items,  the  Company  incurred a loss  before
provision  for income taxes of $11,745 in the three months ended  September  30,
1995 as compared to a gain before  provision  for income  taxes of $2,137 in the
comparable period a year ago.

         Federal and state income tax benefits of $1,173 were  applicable in the
three  months ended  September  30, 1995 as compared to federal and state income
tax expenses of $443 in the three months ended September 30, 1994.


Results of Operations  -    Six months ended September 30, 1995, compared to six
months ended September 30, 1994.


         Interest  and  dividend  income  increased to $33,709 in the six months
ended  September 30, 1995,  from $22,981 in the same period ended  September 30,
1994.  This  increase  is a result of  increasing  rates of  interest  earned on
available cash investments.

         Farm rental  revenues  are less in the current six month  period  ended
September 30, 1995 as compared to the six month period ended  September 30, 1994
due  to  a  $5/acre  rent  concession  in  the  Schleman  Farm  Lease  given  in
consideration  of the  uncertainty  of crop yields due to  abnormally  inclement
weather.  Farm related  operating  costs and expenses are comparable for the six
months ended September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994.

         General and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $51,369 in the six
months ended  September 30, 1995 from $32,818 in the six months ended  September
30,  1994.  This  increase  is  primarily  the  result of a change in the annual
meeting  date (which  caused  expenses of such  meeting to be  recognized  in an
earlier quarter) and increased legal fees.

         As a result  of the above  items the  Company  incurred  a loss  before
provision for income taxes of $13,693 in the six months ended September 30, 1995
as  compared  to a loss  before  provision  for  income  taxes of  $4,766 in the
comparable period a year ago.

         Federal and state income tax benefits of $1,703 were  applicable in the
six months  ended  September  30, 1995 as  compared to federal and state  income
benefits of $491 that were  applicable  in the six months  ended  September  30,
1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


         At  September  30,  1995,  the  Company  had  net  working  capital  of
$1,253,464  the major  portion  of which was in cash and cash  equivalents.  St.
Lawrence has  sufficient  capital  resources  to continue  its current  business
activities.

         The  Company is  currently  conducting  a program of  exploring  varied
acquisition  opportunities  and may require the use of its assets for a purchase
or partial payment for an acquisition or other opportunity.  In addition, it may
become  necessary for St.  Lawrence to incur debt of an  undetermined  amount to
effect a purchase or merger.  The  Company  may also issue  shares of its Common
Stock to effect an acquisition or merger

         St.  Lawrence  does  not  have a  formal  arrangement  with any bank or
financial  institution  with  respect to the  availability  of  financing in the
future.
