NOTE 1:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a.  Business Operations and Organization

     The Company, which was formed on January 16, 1992 owns and operates the
following companies:

                             Ultra Brake Corporation
                        Ultratech of South Florida, Inc.
                           Roinco Manufacturing, Inc.
                                RT Friction, Inc.

As part of a general plan, Ultratech, RT Friction, and Ultra Brake no longer
conduct any business operations. These have been consolidated and are performed
by the Company or are contracted out to the industry. The Company intends to
undertake the necessary steps to dissolve such subsidiaries under the applicable
laws of each such subsidiary's place of incorporation.

b.  Unaudited Interim Statements

     The financial statements as of March 31, 1997 for the three month ended

all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to
reflect a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim
periods have been made. The results for the interim periods ended March 31, 1997
and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full
fiscal year.

NOTE 3:  LOSS PER SHARE

     For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and March 31 ,1996, the number of
shares used in computing the per share earnings were 9,089,638 and 6,354,877,
respectively.


NOTE 4:  NOTES PAYABLE

Line of Credit

     Note payable to bank consist of borrowings under a $7,500,000 line of
credit which is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's business
assets. Borrowings under the line of credit, which expired April 1997, were
limited to a combination of i) 80% of eligible accounts receivable net of
allowances for bad debt, and ii) the lesser of 50% of the value of finished
goods inventory plus 30% of raw material inventory or $3,500,000 minus 70% of
the amount of any outstanding letters of credit. Interest at 1.5% over prime is
due monthly. The loan agreement required the Company to maintain a specific
working capital level. The Company failed to meet the required working capital
level during the year ended December 31, 1995 resulting in default under the
note. The 1995 default continued throughout the period ended December 31, 1996.
The Company has substantially reduced the outstanding balance on this loan and
is seeking financing arrangements with other asset-based lenders. As of May 5,
1997, the balance on the line of credit was $242,251. The Company expects to pay
off the remaining balance during the second and third quarters of 1997.

Convertible Debentures

     At January 1, 1997, two (2) 10% Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to
Offshore Securities Subscription Agreements, dated each of December 5, 1996 and
December 17, 1996, in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000, were outstanding. Such
Debentures were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration afforded
by Regulation S ("Reg S") as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). Principal
and accrued interest were converted into an aggregate of 383,100 shares of the
Company's common stock in February 1997.

     In March 1997, the Company entered into another Offshore Securities
Subscription Agreement (the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Company sold four
(4) 10% Cumulative Convertible Debentures dated each of March 7, 1997, March 12,
1997, March 12, 1997 and March 20, 1997, respectively (the "March Debentures")
and individually, a "March Debenture"), in the aggregate amount of Five Million
Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars ($5,500,000), in reliance upon the Reg S
exemption.

     The March Debentures were reported net of an amortized conversion discount
of $985,185, for a net balance of $4,514,715. The $985,185 will be charged to
operations in April 1997 as interest expense.

     The March Debentures mature on each of March 7, 1998, March 12, 1998, March
12, 1998, and March 20, 1998, respectively (each a "Maturity Date") but may be
converted into shares of the Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the
Company (the "Shares") any time commencing sixty (60) days after the date of
issuance of the March Debenture, as more particularly set forth in paragraph 5
hereof. Each March Debenture entitles the holder to interest (payable in cash or
in kind as shares) on the unpaid principal amount at the date of conversion (the
"Conversion Date") at the rate of 10% per year, payable on a pro-rata basis at
the earlier of (i) the date the March Debenture is converted or redeemed

or (ii) the Maturity Date. The March Debentures cannot be converted before the
expiration of the aforesaid 60 day period.

     Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company may, at its sole option upon
three (3) business day's notice, redeem the March Debentures (or a portion
thereof) at any time prior to conversion at a redemption price which shall be
equal to (i) 110% of the principal amount of the March Debenture to be redeemed
if the Company exercises its redemption rights on or before the Thirtieth (30th)
day following the date of purchase of the March Debenture or (ii) 125% of the
principal amount to be redeemed, any time after the Thirtieth (3Oth) day
following the date of purchase of the March Debenture.

     Subject to a two-year mandatory conversion period for any Shares issued
pursuant to the default provisions of the Agreement (i.e., the Company at the
conversion date does not have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock
available for issuance at the date of conversion), the holder of each March
Debenture is prohibited from converting that principal amount of the March
Debenture which would result in the issuance to such holder of Shares in excess
of 4.9% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding as at the date
of such conversion.

     There are set forth in the Agreement, as well as in the Purchase
Representation Letters and Notices annexed thereto and executed with respect to
each March Debenture, various investment representations by the subscribers,
including, without limitation that each subscriber (a) is not a "US Person" as
such term is defined in Reg S, (b) is outside of the United States at the time
the purchase order for the Debenture originated, at the time the Agreement was
signed and delivered by the subscriber and at the time such subscriber executed
the Notices; (c) is not purchasing or converting the Debenture on behalf of a
"US Person" and (d) the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are not part
of a plan or scheme by such subscriber to evade the registration provisions of
the Act; and (e) the class to whom the securities were sold were "accredited
investors" as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

     Each holder of the March Debentures has the right, at its sole option at
any time commencing sixty (60) days after the date of issuance but not later
than the Maturity Date, to convert the March Debenture held by it, whether whole
or in part, into Shares at a conversion price equal to the lesser of
seventy-five percent (75%) of: (i) the average closing bid price of the shares
of Common Stock of the Company as quoted on NASDAQ for the five (5) trading days
preceding the date on which notice of conversion is effective, or (ii) one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the average closing bid price of the shares of
Common Stock of the Company as quoted on NASDAQ for the five (5) trading days
preceding the date on which the funds necessary to purchase such March
Debentures were received by the Company.

NOTE 5:  THE COMPOSITION

     In connection with the debt restructuring, a committee of the Company's
unsecured d trade creditors (the "Trade Creditors") on March 7, 1995 declared as
effective an agreement (the "Composition Agreement") providing for repayment by
the Company of the unsecured trade debt (the "Trade Debt") of the Company's
Trade Creditors electing to participate in the Composition Agreement,
representing approximately $2,732,000 of the $3,032,000 Trade Debt. (See Exhibit
10.35 previously submitted on Form S-18, as amended, initially filed with the
SEC on April 8, 1992; Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Form
10-QSB for the 1st Quarter, 1996 for a discussion of the proposals, ratification
process and funding of the same). Trade Coeditors,

representing approximately $2,500,000 of the Trade Debt, elected a lump sum
payment of $0. 35 for every $1.00 of the Trade Debt and have been paid. Trade
Creditors, representing $336,000 of the Trade Debt, who elected periodic
payments have received fifteen percent (15%) of the periodic payments. The next
distribution under the Composition Agreement, payable in September 1997, is for
an aggregate payment of approximately $25,000. Subsequent payments become
payable in the first quarters of 1998, as well as the third quarter of each of
1998 and 1999.

     The Company successfully negotiated settlements with respect to almost all
of the Trade Debt held by the seven percent (7%) of the unsecured trade
creditors not electing to participate in the Composition Agreement, representing
approximately $300,000 of the Trade Deb. The Company has satisfied its
obligation to such non-electing trade creditors in accordance with such
settlement arrangements.


NOTE 6:  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In May 1992 the Company entered into a lease agreement with the City Of
Caruthersville, Caruthersville, MO (the "City"), for a lease of a 25,000 square
foot building for use by the Company for manufacturing and distribution. As part
of the Company's restructuring plan, the Company ceased operations at the
Caruthersville location and moved all material and equipment to its Sanford, FL
facility. The City of Caruthersville has attempted to find a tenant for the
facility, and has sub-let the building on a short term basis. The City has been
unsuccessful in finding a long term tenant for the facility, and, in the first
quarter of 1997, informed the Company that it had sub-let the building for only
fourteen months of the past thirty-seven (37) months. As a result of this
disclosure, the Company is liable for twenty three (23) months past due lease
payments at a monthly rate of two thousand two hundred seventy dollars ($2,270)
per month. The Company recorded a charge of $52,210 in March 1997 to reflect
this liability. The original lease expires in August 2013. The Company is
negotiating with the City of Caruthersville to resolve settlement of future
rental payments under the building lease.

ITEM 2:      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

     Statements other than historical information contained in this report are
considered forward looking and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
Factors that could cause such statements not to be accurate include, but are not
limited to, increased competition for the Company's products, improvements in
alterative technologies, a lack of market acceptance for new products introduced
by the Company, and the failure of the Company to successfully market its
products.

Liquidity and Capital Resource

     The restructuring of the Company which began in the third quarter of 1994,
has resulted in the settlement and/or refinancing of the Company's debt. The
following are to date the results of this restructuring.

     (1) The Composition Agreement has been implemented. (See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" in Form 10-KSB for year ended
December 31, 1996.)

     (2) The Company successfully negotiated a reinstatement of the equipment
loan with the City of Brownsville, TN in 1995. (See" Note 4: Notes Payable)

     (3) The equipment loan with the First State Bank & Trust Co. of
Caruthersville, MO and the US Small Business Administration was reinstated. (See
Note 4: Notes Payable)

     (4) The land and improvements at the Brownsville, TN facility was sold to
an unrelated third party in October 1996. (See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis or Plan of Operation" in form 10-KISB for the year ended December 31,
1996.)

     (5) All pending legal proceedings and claims which had been made against
the Company (and its former President and Vice President of Operations) as a
result of the termination of the Company's operations at its City of
Caruthersville, Missouri facility have been dismissed. (See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation" in Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1996.)

     (6) All  previously overdue balances under the equipment loans have been
paid. (See Note 4: Notes Payable)

     In March 1997, the Company issued a total of $5,500,000 of convertible
debentures pursuant to Reg S. (See Note 4: Notes Payable). The funds received
from the issue of the debentures will be used for: a) possible acquisitions; b)
general operating expenses; and c) the purchase of new plant equipment. Interest
expense of $998,148 has been recorded in March 1997 for the difference between
the conversion prices of the March Debentures and the fair market value of the
Company's common stock at the date of issuance. $998,148 has been expensed in
March 1997 relative to these debentures.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

     Net Sales for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were
$660,846 and $1,300,712, respectively. The decrease in net sales is attributable
to the loss of certain customers, reduced sales to certain existing customers
and the Company's impaired ability to attract new


                                      -16-

customers as a result of the Company's past financial difficulties. Management
believes that improvements in 1) product quality, 2) order fill levels, 3) order
processing turnaround time, and the Company's improving image in the market will
attract new customers in the coming periods. In addition, the Company is
considering the addition of a complementary product line to its offering which
will substantially help in attracting new customers.

     Gross Profit (Loss) for the period ending March 31, 1997 was a loss of
$41,915 as compared to a loss of $108,805 for the same period in 1996.
Improvements in production, and the consolidation of facilities contributed to
lower Cost Of Goods Sold.

     Total Operating Expenses for the three month period ending March 31, 1997
an 1996, were $1,593,158 and $657,297, respectively. Selling and delivery
expenses were $37,822 lower in 1997 verses 1996. This reduction was the result
of lower sales. General and Administrative expenses for the period were $573,996
in 1997 and $416,597, in 1996. The increase of $157,399 was the result of 1) an
expense of $150,000 for the placement of the convertible debentures; 2) an
expense of $52,210 relating to past due lease payments on the Missouri facility;
and 3) an increase in Professional Fees of $21,275. These increases were offset
to some extent by reductions exempt labor expense, office rent and other general
administrative expenses. 

     Interest expense for the three month periods ending March 31, 1997 and
1996, were $902,757 and $84,753, respectively. The increase of $818,004 was the
result of an expense of $848,148 relating to the conversion discount on the
$5,500,000 of convertible debentures.

     The net loss for the period ending March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $1,635,073
and $739,239, respectively. The increase of $895,833 was the result of the
expenses (Placement Fee = $150,000 and Interest of $848,148) associated with the
issuance of the convertible debentures.
