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 include 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 compilation since they would be antidilutive.

-----------------
On January 1, 1998, Smith & Wesson Corp., Springfield, Massachusetts, granted
Safari Enterprises, Inc., an exclusive Trademark License to make, use and sell
single-use and conventional film using still cameras under the Smith & Wesson(R)

Certificate of doing business as Smith & Wesson(R) Target Company. Safari

Company.
NOTE 11 - GOING CONCERN
-----------------------
The Company has experienced operating loss since inception and has a retained
deficit as of September 30, 2000 of $1,890,966. 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 nine months, January through September 2000, and firm
orders in-house that revenue will increase by approximately 80%. 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 September 30, 2000, the Company had current assets of $292,392 and total
current liabilities of $606,260. 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.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $653,346 compared to

$363,646 or 125.5% over the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The increase
in sales was entirely due to the increase in the volume of recycled single use
disposable cameras. The Company has not raised the price of its products.
The cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $564,889
compared to $258,889 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This is an
increase of $306,000 or 118.2% over the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Included in the cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 is a
write-off of approximately $24,000 in target inventory which was disposed of as
a result of an improvement in materials used to produce targets. An additional
$32,000 was written off as the Company disposed of camera shells and parts of
discontinued products and private line packaging materials no longer used. The
second shift was shut down for the entire month of September in which the
warehouse layout was redesigned, including building shelving for inventory,
laying out eight new workstations, and construction of a new office on the
second floor of the facility which will be used to service the contract awarded
by the United States General Services Administration. The estimated cost
incurred by the Company in labor and expenses, which were not capitalized, is
approximately $22,000. Without these non-recurring costs and expenses, cost of
sales would have been approximately $486,889 and the gross profit would have
been $166,457 or approximately 25% compared to approximately 11% in 1999. With
these improvements the Company expects that the gross profit as a percentage of
revenue will be in excess of 30%.
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $193,904
compared to $162,190 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase
of $31,714. Selling expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000
decreased by $16,611 from the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The major
decreases in selling expenses were approximately $10,000 in advertising costs
and $6,5000 in telemarketing expenses. General and administrative expenses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 were $175,522 an increase of $48,325
over the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The major increase in operating
expenses was an increase in professional fees of approximately $24,000 related
to the Company's legal proceedings and expenses related to become a reporting
Company, new equipment rentals of $6,000, increase in insurance expense of
$6,000 and additional expenses of approximately $8,000 related to the facilities
at 64 Edson Street which were acquired in a foreclosure sale. (See Legal
proceedings and Note 10 and 13 for the Financial Statements.)
Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $160,290 compared to
$102,758 for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $57,532
or 56%. The gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2000 showed a
loss of $12,138 compared to a profit of $18,693 for the three months ended
September 30, 2000. Excluding write-offs and nonrecurring expenses of
approximately $54,000 the three months ended September 30, 2000 would have
recorded a gross profit of approximately $41,862 or 26%. Revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 were lower than the quarterly revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000 due to the seasonal nature
of camera sales.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------
As of September 30, 2000, the Company has $287,563 in current assets and
$642,802 in current liabilities. Approximately $281,605 of the current assets
and $393,453 of the current liabilities are those of the Company's five 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. This asset will have a book value of approximately
$162,785.
Of the current liabilities, approximately $180,822 are liabilities of Safari
Enterprises, Inc. About $74,832 of said current liabilities may be secured
(subject to the decision of the Appellate Court) 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
$135,000 that being the difference between the current liabilities of the five
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.
