        (a)     No quoted prices are available for these securities.

        (b)     At September 30, 1997 the Registrant held 1,875,000 shares of
                OSI Systems, Inc. common stock which, in the financial
                statements, have been valued at their cost of $2,500,000. In
                October 1997, an initial public offering of OSI Systems, Inc.
                common stock occured. Included in the public offering were
                227,097 shares sold by the Registrant. Proceeds of $2,821,173
                were received from the sale of those shares and a pre-tax gain
                of $2,518,378 resulted from the October 1997 transaction. The
                Registrant, as a condition of participating in the initial
                public offering, has agreed to refrain from disposing of any of
                its remaining 1,647,903 shares for a six month period following
                the public offering. Financial statements, when issued by the
                Registrant for periods subsequent to the October 1997 public
                offering will classify OSI Systems, Inc. holdings as
                available-for-sale investments whose valuation will be at fair
                value.

6.      During the three month period ended September 30, 1997, there were no
        investment gains or losses recognized in the determination of income.
        Unrealized investment holding gains (excluded from income but reported,
        net of income taxes, as a separate component of shareowners' equity)
        increased by $2,597,760 to $10,595,244 at September 30, 1997 from
        $7,997,484 at June 30, 1997.

        During the three months ended September 30, 1996, investment gains of
        $9,435,635 were recognized and included as income. Unrealized investment
        holding gains, (excluded from income but reported, net of income taxes,
        as a separate component of shareowners' equity) decreased by $5,461,370
        to $8,906,637 at September 30, 1996 from $14,368,007 at June 30, 1996.

7.      The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30,
        1997 represents an effective rate 43.2% for federal and state income
        taxes. For the three month period ended September 30, 1996 the
        effective rate for income taxes was 27.8%. In the 1996 period, deferred
        tax benefits were recognized, which reduced the provision for income
        taxes to an effective rate that was lower the statutory federal income
        tax rate.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                      OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the first quarter ended September 30, 1997, net income was down 95.5% from
the first quarter of last year. Net income in the current quarter was $414,815
or $0.35 per share compared to $9,257,768 or $7.72 per share for the first
quarter of last fiscal year. Last year's results included $9,435,635 in net
gains before income taxes from sales of investments. Total operating revenues
for this year's first quarter were 33.6% less than the revenues for the same
quarter last year. Waste Material Recycling segment sales for the current
quarter fell 39.2% from last year's first quarter revenues. Unit selling prices
were dramatically below last year's prices due to the much lower price levels
for corn and other animal feed commodities which recycled bakery waste material
prices must compete with. The average price received for materials sold in this
year's first quarter was 38.1% below last year's first quarter average price.
Tonnage sold in the current quarter was 2.9% below last year's first quarter.
Vocational School Group revenues this quarter were 4.4% above the comparable
quarter last year. Operating costs for the Waste Material Recycling segment were
16.4% lower in the current quarter than for the same quarter last year.
Operations for the quarter were profitable in the Waste Material Recycling
segment. However, the segment's sales revenue decline was greater than the
reduction in costs which caused current quarter margins to shrink compared to
the comparable quarter last year. The Vocational School Group operations
reported small losses in both the current quarter and the comparable quarter
last year. Consolidated operating earnings for the first quarter of the current
year were 89.7% below the operating earnings in the first quarter last year.

Investment and other income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was
$429,867 compared to $9,905,910 for the same three months last year. Last year's
income included $9,435,635 in net gains from sales of investments. No investment
sales occurred in the current three month period.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Working Capital was $26,438,349 at September 30, 1997. It was $28,928,722 at
June 30, 1997. The working capital ratio at September 30, 1997 was 9.1 and was
8.5 at June 30, 1997.

During the first quarter ended September 30, 1997, the net unrealized
appreciation on investment securities held as available for sale increased by
$4,097,760 (from $10,122,484 to $14,220,244). No securities were sold during the
period. Shareowners' equity at September 30, 1997 reflects $10,595,244 for net
unrealized gains on investments after a provision for deferred taxes. The
unrealized holding gains are excluded from earnings.

At September 30, 1997, the Registrant held 1,875,000 common shares of OSI
Systems, Inc., which in the financial statements, are classified as Other Equity
Investments and are valued at their cost of $2,500,000. In

                                   (CONTINUED)


October 1997, an initial public offering of OSI Systems, Inc. common
stock occurred. Proceeds of $2,821,173 were received from the sale of 227,097
shares which were included in the public offering. A pre-tax gain of $2,518,378
resulted from the October 1997 transaction. The Registrant, as a condition of
participating in the public offering, has agreed to refrain from disposing of
any of its remaining 1,647,903 shares for a six month period following the
public offering. Financial statements, when issued by the Registrant for periods
subsequent to the October 1997 public offering, will classify OSI Systems, Inc.
holdings as available-for-sale investments whose valuation will be at fair
value.

TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three month period ended September 30,
1997 is $315,000 and represents an effective rate of 43.2% for federal and state
income taxes. For the first three months of the prior fiscal year, the income
tax provision was $3,565,000 and the effective tax rate was 27.8%. In the 1996
period, deferred tax benefits were recognized, which reduced the provision for
income taxes to an effective rate that is lower than the statuary federal income
tax rate.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Forward looking statements included in the Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Results of Operations and Financial Condition and elsewhere in this
quarterly report are subject to risks and uncertainties that could affect
actual future results. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, general business conditions, unusual volatility in equity and
interest rate markets, disruptions in the availability or pricing of raw
materials, transportation difficulties, changing government educational aid
policies, or disruption of operations from acts of God.
