DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES BY INDUSTRY SEGMENT

EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS:

          SIBONEY LEARNING GROUP DIVISION/GAMCO INDUSTRIES, INC.

          BUSINESS - GENERAL DESCRIPTION -- The Company is engaged,
          through its learning group division and Gamco Industries, Inc.
          ("Gamco") a subsidiary, in the production and distribution of
          educational software, teaching aids and related supplies.

          In 1995, the Company formed the Siboney Learning Group
          Division and hired a new Executive Vice President, Ernest R.
          (Bodie) Marx, as the head of the division.  Mr. Marx has been
          an executive and proprietor of companies engaged in the
          educational software and related products business for more
          than 18 years.  The Company's purpose for forming the new
          division was to take advantage of Mr. Marx's background and
          experience and expand upon its interests in the manufacture
          and sale of educational software and related products.  Such
          expansion is expected to occur both through Gamco, which was
          made part of the new division and reports to Mr. Marx, and by
          other internal and external expansion.

          The Company has been serving the educational market for more
          than 35 years.  The Company's proprietary educational software
          is produced for use on McIntosh, Apple II, IBM and IBM
          compatible computers.  Of Gamco's total sales, 76% is
          generated by proprietary software, and the remainder is
          represented by non-proprietary educational software and other
          related products.   Sales are made to private and public
          schools, grades 1 through 12, by a network of independent
          distributors throughout the United States, as well as through
          catalogs published by Gamco and other educational software
          distributors.  Popular Gamco software titles include Money
          Challenge, Undersea Reading for Meaning (a new release in
          1995) and Touchdown Math - Whole Numbers and Fractions.

          SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS -- Raw materials are
          generally available and are purchased from a wide range of
          suppliers.  Shortages are not anticipated.

          PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS -- Gamco holds various patents, none
          of which are deemed to be material to its business or are
          expected to become material in the foreseeable future.

          SEASONALITY --  The Company historically tends to experience
          higher sales and accounts receivable in the educational
          products business at the end and beginning of the typical
          school year, (i.e. in May, June, August and September) and
          lower levels thereof in November and December.  However,
          seasonality is not deemed to have an overall material effect
          on the Company's operations.

          WORKING CAPITAL ITEMS -- The Company does not engage in
          unusual practices relating to working capital items.  Gamco
          does not purchase or maintain an unusually high amount of
          inventory in advance, although certain materials are purchased
          in larger quantities in order to obtain volume discounts.
          Gamco does not routinely offer extended

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        Page 4


<PAGE> 5

          terms for payment, but historically some public school districts
          and public educational institutions have delayed making payment
          until appropriated funds become available at the beginning of the
          academic year.  Gamco maintains a policy under which products
          may be returned within thirty days from the date of purchase
          if they do not meet a customer's satisfaction.  For the year
          1995, approximately 7% of sales were returned, of which 5%
          represented previewed sales returned within thirty days.

          DEPENDENCE ON LIMITED NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS -- In 1995,
          approximately 13% of Gamco's revenues were generated from
          catalog sales through one dealer, Educational Resources, Inc.

          BACKLOG -- The Company traditionally does not have a material
          backlog of orders for Gamco products.

          GOVERNMENT BUSINESS -- Although a substantial portion of
          Gamco's business is done with governmental subdivisions, such
          business is not subject to price renegotiation or termination
          for convenience of the buyer.

          ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT -- Present federal, state and local
          provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the
          environment or otherwise relating to protection of the
          environment are not expected to materially affect Gamco (or
          any other segment of business of the Company).

          RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT -- Gamco's expenditures for research
          and development of new computer software products and
          upgrading and adapting existing software products were
          approximately $391,000, $345,000 and $260,000 in 1995, 1994
          and 1993, respectively.

          COMPETITION -- Gamco operates in highly competitive markets
          which are subject to ongoing technological change and are
          expected to continue to require relatively high research and
          development expenditures.  Sales of Gamco's computer software
          products are substantially dependent upon expenditures of
          political subdivisions and school districts.


NATURAL RESOURCES:

          SIBONEY COAL COMPANY, INC.

          Siboney Coal Company, Inc. ("Siboney Coal"), a subsidiary of
          the Company, owns the fee and mineral interests in certain
          coal properties in Johnson and Martin Counties, Kentucky.  The
          properties consist of approximately 325 surface or fee acres
          which include mineral rights and approximately 1,120 acres of
          mineral rights alone.

          Siboney Coal leases the coal properties to Mountaineer Land
          Company ("Mountaineer"), a subsidiary of Ashland Coal Company,
          under a twenty-five year lease entered into in 1987, under
          which mining operations have been conducted on and off since
          March 1990.  Under the terms of the lease, Mountaineer has the
          right to mine the coal and pay a

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        Page 5


<PAGE> 6

          royalty to Siboney Coal.  An advance royalty and certain
          royalties previously paid by Mountaineer are recoupable against
          future production royalties payable on coal mined and sold from
          the properties.  The lease calls for annual payments of $30,000
          plus royalties per ton of coal mined.  The lease is cancellable
          on thirty days' prior written notice by the lessee.  Siboney Coal
          earned $70,596 in 1995, $35,814 in 1994 and $68,878 in 1993 under
          the lease. Future revenues in excess of minimum royalties from
          the coal lease are dependent on mining operations of the lessee
          and at certain times have been, and may in the future be,
          discontinued.

          For further discussion of the "Natural Resources Segment" see
          Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on Page 23.

          OIL AND GAS

          Siboney Resources - Texas, Inc. ("Siboney Resources - Texas"),
          a subsidiary of the Company, has royalty interests in certain
          oil and gas leases in Texas.  Revenues from such leases are
          not a material factor in the Company's consolidated revenues.

          Axel Heiberg Oil Company ("Axel"), a subsidiary of the
          Company, holds a 2.28% working interest in oil and gas
          property rights on 1,843 acres in the Canadian Arctic Islands.
          Due to the high cost of exploration and recovery of oil and
          gas from this region, it is not anticipated that revenues will
          be generated from this interest in the foreseeable future.

          Revenue and income after tax from oil and gas related
          operations are not significant to the Company.  The present
          value of estimated future net oil and gas reserves of Axel and
          Siboney Resources - Texas is presently not determinable.


- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                        Page 6


<PAGE> 7

          Prior to the takeover of Cuba by Fidel Castro in 1958, the
          Company and its predecessor held oil exploration rights
          covering approximately four million acres in Cuban territory.
          Following the expropriation of these properties by the Castro
          regime, the Company filed claims against the Cuban government
          with the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission, which was
          authorized under the International Claims Settlement Act of
          1949, as amended, to determine the validity and value of
          claims of United States nationals against the Cuban government
          for properties which have been expropriated.  The Commission
          certified the Company's loss to be $2,454,000 plus interest
          at 6% per annum from November 1959.  No funds have ever been
          appropriated to satisfy such claims.  Accordingly, the Company
          has not considered and currently does not consider the claim
          to be material and cannot determine the possibility of or the
          amount of any possible recovery.

          In 1995, legislation was introduced in Congress which would
          grant the right of U.S. companies whose properties were
          confiscated by the Cuban government to bring action in U.S.
          federal district courts against foreign nationals that
          "traffic" in, or make use of, confiscated properties and would
          provide that those companies would be liable to the United
          States company who owns the claim to the confiscated property
          for money damages.  In the spring of 1996, this legislation
          was passed by Congress, signed by the President and will take
          effect in August 1996.

PERSONNEL:

          As of February 8, 1996, the Company had 24 employees, 3 of
          which were  employed by the parent corporation and 21 by
          Gamco.

ITEM 2.   PROPERTIES

          The Company leases 817 square feet of office space under a
          lease expiring on December 31, 1997. Effective March 1, 1996,
          an additional 652 square feet of office space was leased under
          an agreement which expires March 1, 1997, and is cancellable
          by either party on sixty-day notice.  These facilities are
          considered adequate to meet the needs of the Company for the
          foreseeable future.

          Gamco, owns two buildings, aggregating 79,000 square feet in
          Big Spring, Texas on a parcel totalling 18 acres.  Gamco
          utilizes approximately 75% of the space available in the
          buildings.  The Company considers these facilities adequate
          to meet the needs of Gamco for the foreseeable future.

          The Company's subsidiaries operating in the natural resources
          segment own interests in certain coal, oil and gas properties.
          The present value of estimated future reserves of such
          properties is not presently determinable by the Company.

ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          On October 4, 1985, the Company's subsidiary, Siboney
          Communications, Inc. ("SCI"), filed a voluntary petition under
          Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United
          States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas,
          Dallas Division.  The proceeding remains currently pending;
          however, substantially all of the assets of SCI were sold and
          distributed in 1986 under supervision of the Bankruptcy Court.

       NOTES:

          (a)    Discontinued operations relate primarily to SCI.  In 1994,
                 income from discontinued operations arose from an
                 adjustment to a liability reserve relating to SCI
                 previously established, which management determined to be
                 no longer necessary.  In 1993 and prior years, income from
                 discontinued operations was generated as liabilities
                 relating to legal judgments were settled for less than was
                 originally recorded and established reserves were adjusted
                 to reflect amounts determined by management to be currently
                 required.

          (b)    Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net
                 income by the average number of common and common
                 equivalent shares outstanding during the year.

          (c)    The Company has paid no cash dividends during the five
                 years ended December 31, 1995.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          The following discussion and analysis sets forth certain factors
          which produced changes in the Company's results of operations
          during the three years ended December 31, 1995, and comments on
          the Company's financial position as of December 31, 1995.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

          1995 IN COMPARISON WITH 1994:

              During 1995, the Company's consolidated revenues increased
              $52,665 to $2,359,492.  Revenues from the educational products
              segment increased $19,116 to $2,284,529 while revenues from
              the natural resource segment increased $33,549 to $74,963.
              Educational product revenues increased because of increased
              outside printing sales made by Gamco's print shop.  Sales of
              both proprietary and nonproprietary computer software and
              related products decreased slightly in the educational segment
              during the last half of the year due to educators' concerns
              about the federal budget impasse and its effect on future
              funding for school expenditures.  Natural resource revenues
              increased due to more mining activity, which increased royalty
              payments earned by Siboney Coal.  Future royalty payments are
              dependent entirely on the level of mining operations
              determined by the Company's lessee and are outside the control
              of the Company.

              Cost of product sales increased $30,858 to $523,055, which
              represented a decrease in gross margins from 78.4% to 77.2%,
              due primarily to the effect of increased material and overhead
              costs.

              Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
              $222,745 to $1,974,356, primarily due to increased catalog and
              magazine advertising costs of approximately $50,000 and an
              increase in salaries and other costs totalling approximately
              $75,000 associated with the formation of the Siboney Learning
              Group Division.

              The Company's loss from operations for 1995 was $137,919
              compared to income from operations of $63,019 in 1994.  The
              increase in consolidated revenues was offset by the increases
              in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative
              expenses.

              The Consolidated Statement Of Operations for 1995 reflects a
              one-time charge against income of $66,368, which represents
              the cumulative effect on prior years of a change in accounting
              principle resulting from the implementation of Statement of
              Position 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs".  (See Note 15
              to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

              In 1994, income from discontinued operations arose from an
              adjustment to a liability reserve, which management determined
              to be no longer necessary.  Therefore, the remaining reserve
              was written off in 1994.

<PAGE> 12


          1994 IN COMPARISON WITH 1993:

              During 1994, the Company's consolidated revenues increased
              $246,362 to $2,306,827.  Revenues from the educational
              products segment increased $279,099 to $2,265,413 while
              revenues from the natural resource segment decreased $32,737
              to $41,414.  Educational product revenues increased because
              Gamco's sales of proprietary and nonproprietary software
              increased due to new software titles which resulted from
              increased research and development expenditures and expanded
              catalog advertising that began in 1993.  Natural resource
              revenues declined due to less mining activity, which reduced
              royalty payments earned by Siboney Coal.

              Cost of sales increased $53,453 to $492,197, due primarily to
              the increase in Gamco's sales.

              Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
              $189,622, to $1,751,611, primarily due to an increase in
              catalog advertising expenditures, research and development
              costs and the adoption of a 401(k) plan effective January 1,
              1994.

              The Company's income from operations for 1994 was $63,019
              compared to $59,732 in 1993.  The increase in consolidated
              revenues was offset by an increase in selling, general and
              administrative expenses.

              Income from discontinued operations decreased $542,511 to
              $60,691.  In 1994, the income from discontinued operations
              arose from an adjustment to the liability reserve, which
              management determined to be no longer necessary.  In 1993, the
              adjustment was made to the liabilities relating to
              discontinued operations as a result of the settlement of a
              judgment for less than the related liability reserve.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          In 1995, cash and cash equivalents increased $29,733.  This was
          primarily due to net cash provided by continuing operations.

          In 1994, cash and cash equivalents decreased $21,608.  This was
          primarily due to payments for equipment in excess of cash provided
          by continuing operations.

          At December 31, 1995, Gamco had a line of credit, expiring on
          November 1, 1996, of $350,000, which is secured by certain assets
          of Gamco.  There was an outstanding loan balance of $1,000 at both
          December 31, 1995 and 1994.  The Company expects that the line-of-
          credit agreement will be extended beyond November 1996.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                       Page 12

          The Company considers its cash position and available line of
          credit adequate to fund its anticipated operations and capital
          expenditures.

           REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Stockholders and Board of Directors
Siboney Corporation
St. Louis, Missouri

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Siboney
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1995, and the information as of December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 and for
the years then ended included in the supporting schedule which is listed
in the Index to Consolidated Financial Statements.  These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial
position of Siboney Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995
and 1994 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and the
supporting schedule present fairly the information required to be set forth
therein.

As described in Note 15 to the financial statements, the Company adopted
Statement of Position 93-7, "Reporting on Advertising Costs".

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
     accounts of Siboney Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
     All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

     ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

     Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial
     statements.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
     assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     The Company considers all investment instruments purchased with a
     maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The
     carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short
     maturity of those instruments.

     ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

     The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to
     the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection
     of all receivables.  The estimated losses are based on historical
     experience coupled with a review of the current status of the
     existing receivables.

     INVENTORIES

     Raw materials inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in,
     first-out method) or market.  Finished goods inventory is valued
     at the lower of cost or market of raw materials and an allowance
     for overhead, not in excess of market.

     PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

     Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated
     depreciation computed principally using the straight-line method.
     Assets are depreciated over periods ranging from two to thirty-five
     years.

     When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the
     assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from
     the respective accounts and any gain or loss realized from
     disposition is reflected in operations.

     NATURAL RESOURCES

     The investments in coal, oil and gas leases are carried at cost,
     less accumulated depreciation and

     depletion.  Depreciation was provided using the straight-line
     method over three years, while cost depletion was provided
     primarily on the units-of-production method for producing
     properties.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development costs are expensed in the year incurred
     and totalled approximately $391,000, $345,000 and $260,000 in 1995,
     1994 and 1993, respectively.

     WARRANTY COSTS

     The Company provides warranties on sales of educational products
     and all significant warranty costs are charged to operations as
     incurred.

     EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
     outstanding of 16,366,287 in 1995, 16,422,782 in 1994, and
     16,204,465 in 1993.

     For 1995, 1994 and 1993, the weighted average number of common and
     common equivalent shares consisted of the following:

     REVENUES FROM MAJOR CUSTOMER AND MAJOR PRODUCT

     Revenue from proprietary educational software and other related
     products accounted for 79%, 81% and 83% of Gamco's revenue in
     1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  In addition, 13%, 10%, and
     8% of Gamco's revenues were generated from catalog sales through
     one dealer in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     INCOME TAXES

     Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions
     reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes
     currently due adjusted for the deferred taxes assets recognized
     for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable
     income and tax credits that are available to offset future
     federal income taxes.  The Company accounts for investment tax
     credits using the flow-through method, and thus, they reduce
     income tax expense in the year the related assets are placed in
     service or qualified progress payments are made.


2.   OPERATIONS

     The Company's continuing operations consist of the following two
     segments:

     1)   The manufacture and sale of educational software, teaching
          aids and related supplies through the Company's subsidiary,
          Gamco Industries, Inc. (Gamco).  Sales are made throughout
          the country by the distribution of catalogs printed by Gamco
          and through independent distributors.

     2)   The holding of interests in certain natural resources,
          including coal, oil and gas, through several subsidiaries.
          (See Note 6.)

     Segment information which highlights the relative importance of
     each line of business is presented in Footnote 11 to the
     consolidated financial statements.

     Discontinued operations relate primarily to Siboney
     Communications, Inc. (SCI), a subsidiary of the Company.

     SCI's Board of Directors determined that it was in the best
     interest of SCI to liquidate SCI.  On October 4, 1985 a petition
     under Chapter 7 of the United States bankruptcy Code was filed
     by SCI.  Substantially all of SCI's assets were sold and
     distributed in 1986.  The Company gave recognition to this
     decision in the December 31, 1984 financial statements.

     In 1993 and 1994, income from discontinued operations consisted
     primarily of reductions of estimated liabilities.

     COAL PROPERTIES - KENTUCKY
     Siboney Coal Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, collects
     royalties under a twenty-five year lease with Mountaineer Land
     Company entered into in May 1987, under which Siboney Coal
     Company, the lessor, receives minimum annual payments of $30,000
     plus royalties per ton of coal mined.  The lessee can cancel the
     lease upon thirty days' prior written notification.  The Company
     earned $70,596 under the lease in 1995, $35,814 in 1994 and
     $68,878 in 1993.  Future royalty revenues from the coal lease are
     dependent on third party mining operations and at certain times
     have been, and may in the future be, discontinued.

     OIL AND GAS LEASES IN TEXAS

     Siboney Resources - Texas, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary has
     royalty interests in certain oil and gas leases in Texas.
     Revenues from such leases are not a material factor in the
     Company's consolidated revenues.

     CANADIAN EXPLORATORY PERMITS

     Axel Heiberg Oil Company ("Axel"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     the Company, holds a 2.28% working interest in oil and gas
     property rights on 1,843 acres in the Canadian Arctic Islands.
     Due to the high cost of exploration and recovery of oil and gas
     from this region, it is not anticipated that revenues will be
     generated in the foreseeable future.

     SUPPLEMENTAL OIL AND GAS DISCLOSURES

     Revenue and income after tax from oil and gas related operations
     are not significant to the Company.  The present value of
     estimated future net oil and gas reserves is not presently
     determinable.

7.   NOTES PAYABLE

     At December 31, 1995 and 1994, Gamco had a line of credit
     totalling $350,000, with an outstanding balance of $1,000 each
     year.  The line of credit is secured by the building, accounts
     receivable, inventories and certain equipment of Gamco and bears
     interest at the prime commercial rate plus 1.5% and is due
     November 1996.

     The weighted average interest rate was 10.33%, 8.76% and 6.91%
     for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
     respectively.


8.   EQUITY TRANSFER

     Under Maryland General Corporation law, a Company may apply any
     part of its additional paid-in capital for the reduction or
     elimination of a retained deficit.

     The Board of Directors of the Company unanimously determined, by
     resolution, to eliminate the retained deficit reflected in the
     Stockholders' Equity section of the consolidated balance sheet
     at December 31, 1995 in the amount of $6,124,875.


9.   DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted a qualified, defined
     contribution profit sharing plan covering eligible full-time and
     part-time employees.  The plan is also qualified under Section
     401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, and allows employees to
     contribute on a tax deferred basis.  The plan provides for
     matching contributions on a graduated scale, up to 3-1/2% of the
     employee's annual qualified wages.  The plan also provides for
     nonelective or discretionary contributions by the Company in such
     amounts as the Board of Directors may annually determine.  The
     Company's contribution to the 401(k) plan was $ 35,029 in 1995
     and $36,994 in  1994.

10.  INCOME TAXES

     There is no provision for federal income taxes reflected in the
     financial statements due to the availability of net operating
     loss carryovers.

     =========================================================================================
</TABLE>

     State income taxes are shown as part of selling, general and
     administrative expenses.

     The Company has net operating loss carryovers for federal income
     tax purposes of approximately $5,337,000 at December 31, 1995
     available to reduce future taxable income, if any.  The majority
     of the carryover expires at December 31, 2001 through December
     31, 2010.  Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount available
     for carryover could be reduced upon a substantial change in
     ownership.

     In addition, the Company has investment tax credit carryovers of
     approximately $53,000 available to reduce future income taxes,
     if any, through December 31, 2000.  This amount also creates a
     deferred tax asset of a like amount, which is offset completely
     by a valuation allowance.


11.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     The Company had no significant noncash investing or financing
     activities for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.


12.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

     The Company's business is primarily comprised of two industry
     segments:  educational products and natural resources.  The
     educational products segment principally sells educational
     software and teaching aids to school districts.  The natural
     resources segment principally receives royalties from its
     properties.

     Outstanding and exercisable stock options at December 31, 1995,
     1994 and 1993 consist of the following:

</TABLE>

     No options were exercised in 1995 or 1994.  During the year ended
     December 31, 1993, options for 200,000 shares were exercised at
     $.0275 per share.


14.  DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

     In 1994, income from discontinued operations arose from an
     adjustment to a previously established liability reserve relating
     to SCI which management determined to be no longer necessary.

     During 1993, the Company settled a judgment relating to SCI for
     $70,130, which reduced the related liability by $511,535.  This
     amount is included as part of income from discontinued operations
     for the year ended December 31, 1993.


15.  ADVERTISING - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

     During 1995, in accordance with a required change in generally
     accepted accounting principles, the Company changed its
     accounting method for advertising costs to comply with the
     Statement of Position 93-7 "Reporting on Advertising Costs".  The
     cumulative effect on prior years of this change in accounting
     principle is a one-time charge to income of $66,368.  Financial
     statements for prior years have not been restated.

     The Company expenses the costs of advertising the first time the
     advertising takes place except for direct response advertising,
     which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of
     future benefits.

     Direct response advertising consists primarily of catalog
     advertising to which sales orders are directly attributed.  The
     capitalized cost of the advertising is amortized over a 12-month
     period following the issuance of the catalog.

     At December 31, 1995, $270,498 of advertising costs were
     capitalized.  Advertising expense amounted to $547,850 in 1995,
     $498,167 in 1994 and $426,809 in 1993.
