The following financial information is submitted in response to the requirements
of Form 10-QSB and does not purport to be financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or

adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further, in the

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are not

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------
                                 MARCH 31, 2000
                                 --------------



NOTE  2  -  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
-------------------------------------------------------
CONSOLIDATION
-------------
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the
Company and all its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

INVENTORY
---------
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out basis or
market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
----------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The cost of maintenance
and repairs is charged to operations as incurred.

INTANGIBLES
-----------
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of companies acquired over the fair
value of their net assets at the date of acquisition and is being amortized
using the straight line method over 15 years.

INCOME TAXES
------------
The Company records deferred income taxes using the liability method. Under the
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial
statement and income tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. An
allowance is recorded, based on currently available information, when it is more
likely than not that any or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The provision for income taxes includes taxes currently payable, if any, plus
the net change during the period presented in deferred tax assets and
liabilities recorded by the Company.

PER SHARE DATA
--------------
The Company has adopted the standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board and computes earnings per share data in accordance with SFAS No. 128
"Earning per Share." The basic per share data has been computed on the loss for
the period divided by the historic weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from
the compulation since they would be antidilutive.

In October 1993, Safari Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises") a wholly owned

from them.

The terms of the lease are for 10 years from July 1, 1994 to June 30, 2004.
Lease payments of $1,031.28 represent principal and interest on the $85,000
advanced to the Company. The Company, at any time, may purchase the property for
$85,000 with all payments considered to be principal made under the lease
credited toward the purchase price. Based on the terms of the lease, the sale
and leaseback is a financing lease by the Company and the obligations under the
lease and related assets have been capitalized. (See Note 11 Litigation.)

accrued interest.

----------
On April 8, 1998, the Amsterdam Industrial Development Agency, Plaintiff,

Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Montgomery. The Plaintiff is
seeking to foreclose upon the interest of the Defendant in a lease between the
Plaintiff, as landlord and the Defendant, as tenant, for premises 64 Edson

certain real estate taxes. The Defendant claims that it is the owner of premises
64 Edson Street, Amsterdam, New York and that plaintiff could not lease it
property that defendant owns.

A motion for Summary Judgment in favor of the Plaintiff was granted on September
23, 1999. The decision was settled by an Order of Reference dated October 6,
1999 and entered on October 20, 1999. The Order appointed a Referee to determine
the amount due to the Plaintiff from the Defendant. As of October 14, 1999, the

Defendant filed a timely Notice of Appeal. The final resolution of this appeal

NOTE  11  -  GOING CONCERN
--------------------------
The Company has experienced operating loss since inception and has a retained
deficit as of March 31, 2000 of $1,778,499. Approximately $1,155,000 of the
losses occurred prior to 1997, and are a direct result of discontinued
operations. Additional losses of approximately $275,000 were incurred during the
development stage in the production of and recycling of single use cameras.

During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000, the Company expects that based
on shipments for the four months, January through April 2000, and firm orders
in-house that revenue will increase by approximately 50%. The Company has added
a night shift to meet the demand. In 1999, the Company could not produce enough
product to meet demand and had to turn away orders. The Company believes that
improved efficiency, which was observed during the second half of fiscal 1999,
will result in a significant increase in gross profit on each unit sold and that
a break-even point could be reached in fiscal 2000.

As of March 31, 2000, the Company had current assets of $288,567 and total
current liabilities of $597,420. Even if the Company is capable of generating a
profit in fiscal 2000, the Company may be required to raise additional equity to
reduce outstanding liabilities, to finance expansion, and the introduction of
new product lines.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $101,851 or
approximately 100% over the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase was
entirely due to an approximate 100% increase in the shipment of recycled single
use disposable cameras.

Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 68.8% of revenue
compared to 81.5% for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The improvement in
reducing cost of sales was due to improved efficiency in the production process
including an increase in employee efficiency. Gross profit increased by $44,771
or 238% for the three months ended March 31, 2000 over the three months ended
March 31, 1999.

Operating Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $66,057, an
increase of $15,584 over the three months ended March 31, 1999. The major
components of the increase in 2000 over 1999 were: (1) Professional fees $8,400
(2) equipment rentals $2,120 (3) insurance $2,200 and (4) commissions $1,300.

Interest expense for the three months ended Mach 31, 2000 was $6,999 an increase
of $2,851 over the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase is a result
of additional notes payable and increased finance charges on credit card
balances.

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

As of March 31, 2000, the Company has $288,567 in current assets and $597,420 in
current liabilities. Approximately $265,000 of the current assets and $379,300
of the current liabilities are those of the Company's four wholly owned
operating subsidiaries. The remainder are current liabilities of Safari
Enterprises, Inc., Safari Boat Company, Inc., and Safari Lure Company, Inc. The
sole asset of Safari Enterprises, Inc., is the property located at 64 Edson
Street, Amsterdam, New York. Should Safari Enterprises, Inc., prevail on its
appeal, this asset will have a book value of approximately $166,163. Of the
current liabilities, approximately $180,822 are liabilities of Safari
Enterprises, Inc. About $74,832 of said current liabilities may be secured by
the property located at 64 Edson Street, Amsterdam, New York. The balance of the
current liabilities owed by Safari Enterprises, Inc., are unsecured and, in the
opinion of the Company, uncollectable from the Company or from Safari
Enterprises, Inc. The Company is investigating obtaining a capital investment or
long term loan of approximately $114,399, that being the difference between the
current liabilities of the four operating wholly owned subsidiaries and their
current assets. However, there is no assurance that the Company can obtain the
required capital investment or long term loan, or if it can obtain such a
capital investment or long term loan, that it will be on terms favorable to the
Company. Should the Company be unable to secure the capital investment or long
term loan, the Company may have to discontinue its operations.
