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

      General
      -------

      Sel-Drum  International,  Inc.,  ("Sel-Drum"  or  the  "Company")  is  the
successor  corporation to Dakota Equities Ltd., a publicly-held "blind pool." On
February 1, 1995,  the Company  acquired all the  outstanding  common  shares of
Sel-Drum  Imaging  Corporation,  the  parent  corporation  of a  privately  held
Canadian  Corporation  which was founded in 1978. The Company's primary business
is the  distribution of high mortality copier  replacement  parts,  toners,  and
photoreceptors ("Drums"), including, to a limited extent, the remanufacturing of
Drums. On August 1, 1995, the Company added remanufactured facsimile and printer
cartridges to its product offering through its  manufacturing  relationship with
MKG and later through its operation in Kelowna,  British  Columbia (the "Kelowna
Facility")  on January 1, 1997.  The  Company  markets in the United  States and
Canada  through a direct network of sales agents and  telemarketers.  Outside of
North  America,  the Company is represented  by several  distributors  and their
sales account for less than 5% of the total  revenues.  The Company  amalgamated
Micron Imaging  Corporation (now the Kelowna Facility) and Sel-Drum  Corporation
on November 1, 1996.

     On March 7, 1997, the Company and certain principal shareholders terminated
discussions  with JRCS  Corp.  regarding  the sale of  substantially  all of the
outstanding capital stock of the Company.

     In late 1997 the Company  initiated a strategic  plan which was designed to
focus on the longer term growth  prospects  of the  Company.  This new  strategy
calls for  concentrating  future  efforts  to take  advantage  of the  perceived
potential financial returns presented by existing  opportunities within the high
mortality   copier   replacement   part  and  printer  part  market  place.  The
implementation  of this  strategy  includes  programs  aimed at  bolstering  the
Company's   core  business.   Specifically,   the  Company  is  looking  at  its
under-utilization  of the Kelowna Facility with a view toward having the Kelowna
Facility  provide  limited  remanufacturing  support and increased  distribution
support.  This may  require  some  capital  expenditures,  although  to date the
Company is exploring whether such option is viable.

     Additional  strategic  items include seeking  acquisition  candidates and a
listing on the Nasdaq stock market and establishing integrated data systems, all
of which may serve to increase the Company's budgeted 1998 expenses.

     On October 29, 1997,  the Company  announced  that it had hired  Raymond C.
Sparks  as its new  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  President,  replacing  Brian
Turnbull who has agreed to remain with the Company as a full-time consultant.

     Sel-Drum is a leading  independent  distributor  of high  mortality  copier
replacement parts and supplies. As one of the largest independent high mortality
copier parts distribution  companies in North America,  Sel-Drum provides a link

                                     - 7 -

between parts  manufacturers,  sellers and buyers.  Sel- Drum is also developing
strong  relationships  with  suppliers who seek advanced  inventory  management,
order processing and forecasting.

     Through its Sel-Drum Imaging  Corporation  subsidiary,  the Company has two
wholly owned  subsidiaries,  Sel-Drum  Corporation  (U.S.A.),  Inc. and Sel-Drum
Corporation.  Unless  otherwise  indicated,  all references to "Sel-Drum" or the
"Company"   include  the  Company,   Sel-Drum  Imaging   Corporation,   Sel-Drum
Corporation  and  Sel-Drum  Corporation  (U.S.A.),  Inc. It should be noted that
approximately  50% of the  Kelowna  Facility's  remanufactured  product  is sold
directly to the other operating divisions.  Sel-Drum Corporation (U.S.A.),  Inc.
and Sel-Drum  Corporation  employ a number of sales agents and telemarketers who
contact directly the copier machine dealers throughout North America.  There are
approximately  12,000 such dealers  marketing various brands of copier products.
The  Company  estimates  that the  potential  market  place  for high  mortality
replacements  parts,  drums and toner, not controlled by the Original  Equipment
Manufacturers ("O.E.M."s) to be approximately $675 million in North America.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     ---------------------

     The Company's  results of operations are affected by numerous  factors such
as general  economic  conditions,  competition and inventory  costs. The largest
component  of the  Company's  cost of sales is  inventory  cost,  which may vary
slightly from period to period based upon timing of purchases  which  indirectly
affect the Company's inventory costs.

     The following table sets forth for each of the periods  presented,  certain
income statement data for the Company expressed as a percentage of net sales.

     Net sales for the three months ended  October 31, 1997 were  $3,688,289  as
compared with $3,937,236 for the three months ended October 31, 1996, a decrease
of 6%. The decrease in net sales for the three months ended  October 31, 1997 is
principally  the result of  reduction  in drum  sales and in timing of  customer
purchases.

     Gross profit margin for the three months ending October 31, 1997 was 33.7%,
as compared to 35.2% for the same period last year. In absolute  dollars,  gross
profit  decreased from $1,387,981 for the three months ended October 31, 1996 to
$1,242,056 for the three months ended October 31, 1997. The decrease in absolute
gross profit dollars of $145,925 for the three month period  resulted  primarily
from anticipated  seasonal net sales decreases and decreases in sales volume and
increasing costs at the Kelowna Facility.

     Selling,  general,  and administrative  expenses for the three months ended
October  31,  1997  increased  7.0%  from  the  prior  comparable  period.  As a
percentage of net sales, selling,  general and administrative expenses increased
as a result of decreased  sales  volume.  The  increase in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses for the three months is also  attributable  to fees and
expenses  associated with the recently  implemented  Company strategy  described
above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     The  Company's  principal  capital  requirements  are to fund  its  working
capital needs and material inventory requirements and to fund the improvement of
facilities,  machinery and equipment.  Historically  the Company has used income
generated by operations as well as bank financing to fund these capital needs.

     Net cash provided by operating  activities  primarily represents net income
plus  changes in working  capital  positions.  Net cash  provided  by  operating
activities for the three months ended October 31, 1997 was $617,916.

     Net cash used for investing activities  represents purchases of property in
connection  with the start up of a facsimile  and printer  cartridge  production
operation at the Company's  Kelowna,  British Columbia  facility.  As previously
disclosed in the Company's Form 10-KSB, the Company is exploring ways to improve
the Kelowna  Facility's  performance  with the view toward returning the Kelowna
Facility to  profitability.  This  strategy  could  include  additional  capital
expenditures.  No  assurances  can be given that the Company will be  successful
implementing its strategy for the Kelowna Facility.

     The Company  currently  has a revolving  demand loan  arrangement  with the
National  Bank of Canada in the amount of  $3,700,000  (CDN).  These  borrowings
generally  assist the Company with funding of accounts  receivable and inventory
purchases.  As of October 31, 1997  outstanding  borrowings  of $645,896  (U.S.)
existed under this arrangement.

<PAGE>



     Cash  flow  from  operations  coupled  with  cash  flow  generated  by bank
financing  has  provided  the Company  with the cash  necessary to meet its cash
requirements.  For the foreseeable  future,  the Company does not anticipate any
significant cash outlays other than those consistent with past practices.
