                                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             For The Three Months Ended July 31, 1997 and 1996

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,  1997,  the results of  operations  of the three
months  ended July 31,  1997 and 1996,  and the cash flows for the three  months
ended July 31, 1997 and 1996.  The results of  operations  for the three  months
ended July 31, 1997 are not necessarily  indicative of the results of operations
to be expected for the full fiscal year ended April 30, 1998.  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,  1997  were
significantly  lower  than in the 1996  period  due to lower  sales  volume,  as
contrasted with a very strong first quarter of 1996. Cost of sales for the three
months ended July 31, 1997 were 82% of sales, respectively,  compared to 89% for
the 1996 periods,  primarily as a result of increases in materials and pressures
on sales prices in 1996.  Operating expenses for the three months ended July 31,
1997 were significantly lower than in 1996 as a result of management's continued
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, 1997,  the  Company's  working  capital  deficit was
$34,499. The Company has obtained an operating line of credit from a bank in the
amount of $250,000  (CAN). As of July 31, 1997, the line of credit amount was US
$126,367.  The  Company  intends  to  sell  debt or  equity  to  meet  its  cash
requirements not met from operations.
