NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
DECEMBER 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
for 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 nine month period ending December 31, 1997, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.
NOTE B--RECLASSIFICATION
The 1996 financial statements have been reclassified, where necessary, to
conform to the presentation of the 1997 financial statements.
NOTE C--EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding under the
treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents include all common stock options
and warrants outstanding during each of the periods presented.
NOTE D--STOCK PURCHASE AND DIVIDEND
On March 19, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend distribution of 514,191 shares of common stock, $.01 par value (the
"Shares") of Paragon Acquisition Company, Inc. ("Paragon"), and 514,191
non-transferable rights (the "Subscription Right") to purchase two (2)
additional Shares of Paragon. Paragon is a newly-formed corporation which is
seeking to acquire or merge with an operating business, and thereafter operate
as a publicly-traded company. St. Lawrence purchased the Paragon shares on March
6, 1997, for $5,141, or $.01 per share, and is distributing one Paragon share
and one subscription right for each share of St. Lawrence Common Stock owned or
subject to exercisable options and warrants as of March 21, 1997 (the "Record
Date"). Neither St. Lawrence nor Paragon will receive any cash or other proceeds
from the distribution, and St. Lawrence stockholders will
Page 9
<PAGE> 10
not make any payment for the share and subscription rights. The distribution to
St. Lawrence stockholders is being made by St. Lawrence for the purpose of
providing St. Lawrence stockholders with an equity interest in Paragon without
such stockholders being required to contribute any cash or other capital in
exchange for such equity interest.
On March 21, 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
effective a Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed by Paragon, registering the
Distribution of Shares and Subscription Rights to St. Lawrence stockholders. The
cost of organizing Paragon and registering the distribution have been borne by
the founders of Paragon.
Paragon is an independent publicly-owned corporation. However, because
Paragon does not yet have a specific operating business, the distribution of the
shares is being conducted in accordance with Rule 419 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). As a result, the
shares, subscription rights, and any shares issuable upon exercise of
subscription rights, are being held in escrow and are non-transferable by the
holder thereof until after the completion of a business combination with an
operating company. The subscription rights will become exercisable at a price to
be determined by Paragon's Board of Directors (not to exceed $2.00 per
subscription right) once a business combination is identified and described in a
post-effective amendment to Paragon's Registration Statement. While held in
escrow, the shares may not be traded or transferred, and the net proceeds from
the exercise of subscription rights will remain in escrow subject to release
upon consummation of a business combination. There is no current public trading
market for the shares and none is expected to develop, if at all, until after
the consummation of a business combination and the release of shares from
escrow.
NOTE E--USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE F--RELATED PARTIES
During the fiscal years ending March 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company
paid to Jack C. Brown, Secretary and Director, an annual administrative fee of
$6,000, which was paid monthly in the amount of $500. Additional expenses were
recognized in 1996 and 1995 for the payment of consulting fees in 1993 on behalf
of the Company by the Windward Group, LLC the beneficial owner of 150,000 shares
of the Company. The payment on behalf of the Company was recognized as an
expense and treated as a contribution of capital by Windward to the Company.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Three months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to
three months ended December 31, 1996.
Interest and dividend income was comparable in the three months ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, with such 1997 income being $14,598 and such 1996 income at
$14,599.
Farm rental revenue remained unchanged in the three months ended December 31,
1997 from those in the three months ended December 31, 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $41,336 in the three months
ended December 31, 1997 from $44,441 in the three-months ended December 31,
1996. This decrease reflects lower professional fees incurred and savings
realized on general office expenses.
As a result of the above items, the Company had a loss of $24,788 before taxes
in the three months ended December 31, 1997, as compared to a loss of $27,893
before taxes in the three months ended December 31, 1996.
Federal and state income tax benefits of $3,552 were applicable in the three
months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to federal and state income tax
benefits of $2,553 in the three months ended December 31, 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Nine months ended December 31, 1997, compared to nine
months ended December 31, 1996.
Interest and dividend income increased to $43,397 in the nine months ended
December 31, 1997, from $41,086 in the same period ended December 31, 1996. The
increase is a result of slightly higher interest rates received on available
cash investments.
Farm rental revenues remained unchanged in the nine months ended December 31,
1997 from those in the nine months ended December 31, 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased to $84,963 in the nine months
ended December 31, 1997 from $86,914 in the nine months ended December 31, 1996.
This decrease reflects lower professional fees incurred and savings realized on
general office expenses.
Page 11
<PAGE> 12
As a result of the above items the Company incurred a loss before provision for
income taxes of $35,874 in the nine months ended December 31, 1997 as compared
to a loss before provision for income taxes of $40,456 in the comparable period
a year ago.
Federal and state income tax benefits of $4,863 were applicable in the nine
months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to federal and state income benefits
of $3,534 that were applicable in the nine months ended December 31, 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1997, the Company had net working capital of $1,098,500 the
major portion of which was in cash and money market funds. St. Lawrence has
sufficient capital resources to continue its current business.
The Company may require the use of its assets for a purchase or partial payment
for an acquisition or in connection with another business opportunity. In
addition, St. Lawrence may incur debt of an undetermined amount to effect an
acquisition or in connection with another business opportunity. It may also
issue its securities in connection with an acquisition or other business
opportunity.
St. Lawrence does not have a formal arrangement with any bank or financial
institution with respect to the availability of financing in the future.
