                                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                              For The Three Months Ended July 31, 1996 and 1995

NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

             The unaudited  interim financial  statements are unaudited,  but in
the  opinion  of  the  management  of  the  Company,  contain  all  adjustments,
consisting of only normal  recurring  accruals,  necessary to present fairly the
financial  position at July 31,  1996,  the results of  operations  of the three
months  ended July 31,  1996 and 1995,  and the cash flows for the three  months
ended July 31, 1996 and 1995.  The results of  operations  for the three  months
ended July 31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results of operations
to be expected for the full fiscal year ended April 30, 1997.  Reference is made
to the Company's Form 10- KSB.

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

Overview

             Net  revenues in the three  months  ended July 31, 1996 were higher
than in the 1995 period due to  increased  sales  volume.  Cost of sales for the
three  months ended July 31, 1996 were 89% of sales,  respectively,  compared to
85% for the 1995  periods,  primarily as a result of increases in materials  and
pressures on sales  prices.  Operating  expenses for the three months ended July
31, 1996 were significantly  lower than in 1995 as a result of management's cost
cutting efforts.

             The Company is not expected to become profitable,  if at all, until
sales grow  sufficiently  (of which  there can be no  assurance)  to support the
administrative burden.  Consulting fees were paid for professional  consultants,
not affiliated with the Company,  regarding  private label  products,  obtaining
customers, and potential acquisitions of private label product lines.

Liquidity

             As of July 31, 1996,  the  Company's  working  capital  deficit was
$167,981.  The Company's  working  capital  position was enhanced by the sale of
$52,800 in securities. The Company has also obtained an operating line of credit
from a bank in the amount of $250,000  (CAN).  As of July 31, 1996,  the line of
credit  amount was US  $146,893.  The Company  intends to sell debt or equity to
meet its cash requirements.
