                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                     (Unaudited)



     1. Basis of Presentation

     The financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements
     of Form 10-Q  and Regulation 210 of S-X and consequently do not include all
     of the disclosures normally made in an annual Form 10-K filing. 
     Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in
     conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes therein included
     within the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 1995.

     The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
     Company's customary accounting practices and has not been audited.  In the
     opinion of management, the information presents all adjustments necessary
     for a fair statement of interim results.  All such adjustments are of a
     normal and recurring nature.  The foregoing interim results are not
     necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for a
     full year.

     The three months ended March 31, 1995 is not presented since the activity
     for that period was not significant.


     2. Investments

     The Company has invested the majority of the proceeds from the initial
     public offering in United States Treasury Bills.  These treasury bills,
     which were purchased at a discount, are presented at their accreted cost. 
     The treasury bills mature in July of 1996.

                   ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          Initial Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") is a "blank check" or "blind
     pool" company which was formed on November 18, 1992 to serve as a vehicle
     to effect a merger, exchange of capital stock, asset acquisition or other
     business combination (a "Business Combination") with an operating business
     (a "Target Business").  The business objective of the Company is to effect
     a Business Combination with a Target Business which the Company believes
     has significant growth potential.  To date, the Company has not effected a
     Business Combination.

          On May 23 1995 (the "Closing Date"), the Company consummated its
     initial public offering (the "Offering") of (a) 600,000 units (the
     "Units"), each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock, $.01 par
     value per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) one Class A Common Stock
     Purchase Warrant (the "Class A Warrants") entitling the holder thereof to
     purchase one share of Common Stock, and (b) 240,000 Redeemable Class B Unit
     Purchase Warrants (the "Class B Warrants"), each such Class B Warrant
     entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Unit.  On the Closing Date,
     the Registrant received net proceeds of $6,330,680 (the "Net Proceeds"),
     after giving effect to the payment of all underwriting discounts, the
     underwriters' non-accountable expense allowance and offering expenses. 
     Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, $6 million of the Net Proceeds,
     representing an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the
     Units, was placed in escrow with The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., subject to
