                                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                  For The Three and Nine Months Ended January 31, 1996 and 1997

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 January 31, 1997,  the results of  operations  of the three and nine
months  ended  January 31,  1996 and 1997,  and the cash flows for the three and
nine months ended January 31, 1996 and 1997.  The results of operations  for the
three  months  ended  January 31,  1997 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,  for the year ended April
30, 1996.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

     Sales increased in the 1997 periods compared to 1996 due to increased sales
volume.  Gross margin was lower due to increased  prices of materials  which the
Company  was  unable  to recoup  by  raising  prices.  Operating  expenses  were
significantly lower in the 1997 period due to management cost cutting efforts.

Liquidity

     As of January 31, 1997, the Company's  working  capital deficit was 79,740.
The  Company's  working  capital  position was enhanced as compared to April 30,
1997 by the sale of securities and proceeds from a shareholder loan. The Company
has also  obtained  an  operating  line of credit  from a bank in the  amount of
$250,000 (CAN).

     The  Company  anticipates  its need for cash  over the next 12  months  for
general and  administrative  expenses  to be $50,000  per month.  This amount is
expected to be provided from  operations  and provided by private  placements of
debt or equity.  The  Company  has no specific  plans for any  placement  of its
securities.
