COVENTRY INDUSTRIES CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
September 30, 1997
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instruction of Form 10-QSB and
Article 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. The preparation requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported of amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 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 month period ended September 30, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
June 30, 1998.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 1997 as filed with the Securities and Exchange

of high quality custom soil mixes to wholesale nurseries throughout South
Florida. Annualized revenues are currently estimated at $3 million.
The calculation of the consideration paid by the Company in the
acquisition of LPS was based upon a percentage of the revenue base of LPS of
approximately $3 million on an annualized basis. Pursuant to the terms of the
agreement for the acquisition of LPS, the sellers are required to deliver to the
5

Company in the share for share exchange. In the event such fairness opinion does
not support the exchange ratio, such exchange ratio shall be adjusted by mutual
agreement between the parties.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan or Operation.
The following discussion regarding the Company and its business and
operations contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act 1995. Such statements consist of any statement
other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or
"continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable
terminology. The reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are
necessarily speculative and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in
such forward looking statements. The Company does not have a policy of updating
or revising forward-looking statements and thus it should not be assumed that
silence by management of the Company over time means that actual events are
bearing out as estimated in such forward looking statements.
Results of Operation
During the three months ended September 30, 1997 the Company continued its
expansions plans through the acquistions of LPS Acquisition Corp. ("LPS") and
Apollo Pipe & Value ("Apollo"). Consolidated revenues for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 increased $1,196,167 or approximately 103% from the three
months ended September 30, 1996. This increase is attributable to (i) an
increase in revenues generated by the Company's Manufacturing Division, (ii)
revenues for one month for each of LPS and Apollo, and (iii) a full quarter of
revenues from Federal Supply, Inc. and Federal Fabrication, Inc. (collectively,
"Federal") which were acquired by the Company during the last quarter of fiscal
1997.
Gross profit margins as a percentage of revenues for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 decreased approximately 14% from the comparable quarter
in fiscal 1996.
Operating expenses increased approximately 280% for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 from the three months ended September 30, 1996 primarily as a
result of increased selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"). SG&A
on a consolidated basis increased approximately 362% during the three months
ended September 30, 1997 from the three months ended September 30, 1996 as a
result of the addition of SG&A expenses attributable to the continued expansion
of the Company, including SG&A associated with the LPS and Apollo acquistions,
8
<PAGE>
other ongoing growth of the Company's operations and one time costs associated
with the relocation of the Company's principal executive offices from Knoxville,
Tennessee to Boca Raton, Florida. Other operating expenses were non-cash items
including depreciation and amortization and professional fees related to the LPS
and Apollo acquisitions.
The Company reported a net loss of $196,575 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to net income of $173,605 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996. Approximately $130,000 of the net loss is attributable
to non-cash items including depreciation and amortization of $82,554 and $47,471
of costs associates with the LPS and Apollo acquistions. The remaining portion
of the net loss is attributable to operating losses at Federal (approximately
$53,000) and LPS (approximately $28,000). Management of the Company believes,
although there can be no assurances, that as a result of the Apollo acquisition
(see "Manufacturing Division" below) that Federal is now at break-even and,
following certain management strategies initiated at LPS following its
acquisition by the Company in September 1997, the loss rate at LPS will be
significantly decreased in the subsequent quarters of fiscal 1998.
Manufacturing Division
For the three months ended September 30, 1997 the Manufacturing Division
reported an increase in revenues of approximately 164% from the three months
ended September 30, 1996. This increase is attributable to (i) revenues from
Federal for a full fiscal quarter, (ii) continued increase in revenues from both
Industrial Fabrication & Repair, Inc. ("IFR") and its subsidiary, Maintenance
Requisition Order Corp. ("MRO"), (iii) revenues from Apollo for one month, and
(iv) the internal realignment of one of the Company's subsidiaries, Outside
Industrial Services, Inc. ("OIS") from the Staffing Division to the
Manufacturing Divisions (see "Staffing Division" below). The Manufacturing
Division reported a loss from operations of approximately $13,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 which is attributable to a loss from operations
at Federal; the Company did not report income from operations for each of its
divisions during the comparable period ended September 30, 1996.
As discussed above, during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 Federal
acquired the business and assets of Apollo in a private transaction from an
unaffiliated third party. Apollo is a distributor of industrial pipes, valves
and fittings with annualized revenues of approximately $500,000. Prior to such
acquisition Federal sub-let a portion of its Pompano Beach, Florida facility to
Apollo, which such sublease was negotiated on an arms-length basis. The
principal of Apollo has remained with the company following its acquisition by
Federal to insure both the continued business and operations of Apollo at
9
<PAGE>
current levels as well as to assist in the expansion of Apollo's operations.
Commencing in the second quarter of fiscal 1998, Apollo will begin the marketing
and sale to industrial manufacturing businesses in the State of Florida of power
transmission components, including new and refurbished gear boxes in close
association with IFR and MRO.
Staffing Division
For the three months ended September 30, 1997 the Staffing Division
reported a decrease in revenues of approximately 33% from the three months ended
September 30, 1996. The Staffing Division reported a loss from operations of
approximately $15,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 which is
attributable to a concentration of revenues generated from lower margin
accounts; the Company did not report income from operations for each of its
divisions during the comparable period ended September 30, 1996.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1997 the Company undertook an
internal realignment of one of its subsidiaries. OIS, a staffing company which
provides personnel with speciality skills, such as transportation operation and
equipment maintenance, was realigned to fall within the Manufacturing Division,
leaving American Industrial Management, Inc. ("AIM") as the component of the
Staffing Division. As a result of the specialized nature of the services
provided by OIS, coupled with the synergic customer base of IFR and OIS,
management of the Company undertook such realignment to both increase the
operating efficiency of OIS as well as to provide better service to its
customers.
Consumer Products Division
Revenues for the Consumer Products Division increased approximately 81%
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 versus the three months ended
September 30, 1996. This increase reflects revenues from LPS which the Company
acquired in September 1997. LPS' revenues are currently annualized at
approximately $3.2 million. Accordingly, management of the Company believes the
revenues from this division will increase measurably during the second quarter
of fiscal 1998 and beyond as a result of this acquisition. The Consumer Products
Division reported a loss from operations of approximately $28,000; the Company
did not report income from operations for each of its divisions during the
comparable period ended September 30, 1996.
10
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital at September 30, 1997 was $3,129,938 versus
$1,817699 at June 30, 1997. The increase in working capital is attributable to
increases in accounts receivable and inventory as a result of the Company's
expanded operations and increased revenues. While the Company does not presently
anticipate any significant capital expenditures, in order to pursue the
Company's plan of operations for fiscal 1998 it will be necessary for the
Company to raise additional working capital. A substantial portion of the
Company's property, plant and equipment and accounts receivable are unencumbered
and, accordingly, would provide additional sources of internal working capital
should the Company elect to enter into an asset based lending arrangement.
