NOTE 5- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company entered into a Development Agreement on September 30, 1997,
whereby an unrelated company shall provide the tire technology relating to
shape and tread pattern and performance evaluation personnel and the Company
shall provide the Urethane technology and personnel. If the result of the
testing is positive and the parties hereto are interested in the joint
commercialization of urethane tires, then the parties shall enter into a
separate agreement covering said commercialization.
On October 24, 1997 the Company borrowed $50,000 from a banking institution
for working capital and equipment purchases. The loan has terms of interest
at prime plus 3/4%. The Company's collateral given the banking institution is
a first lien position in accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, and a
first mortgage on its Ravenna real estate.
The Company has received additional funds for use in its operations upon
issuing promissory notes with a maturity date of six months. Interest is
prepaid by issuing 5,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock for
each $50,000 amount borrowed. The principal amount of the Note is payable on
the maturity date, subject to prepayment as set forth in the note. At the
election of the Company, it may satisfy the entire obligation for the payment
of the principal by issuance and delivery of one or more shares of Common
Stock of the Company at the rate of one share of Common Stock for every $1.00
of outstanding principal amount of the Note. The following data summarizes
amounts received.

<PAGE> 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company is engaged in the development and manufacturing of
"flat-free" bicycle and other specialty tires which compete with the
traditional pneumatic tires (i.e., tires with an inner tube or tubeless tires
inflated with air).
For purposes of this report, a comparison of the Company's operations for
the interim period ended September 30, 1997 with the comparable interim period
in the preceding year would not be helpful to the reader's understanding of
the Company's operations in that the Company had nominal operations prior to
the completion of its initial public offering in October 1996.
The Company is in the development stage and has had an operating loss
since inception of $(2,701,788). The Company has initiated commercial sales
of its products with net sales of $106,058 during the three month period ended
September 30, 1997, as opposed to no sales during the three month period ended
September 30, 1996. A majority of the sales during the reporting period were
attributed to the operations of UTI-UK. UTI-UK is a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company and is a distributor of low density foam bicycle, wheelchair
and other specialty tires in the United Kingdom and Europe. UTI-UK
distributes flat-free tires under the trade name "Urathon TM" in approximately
540 Michelin Tire Company owned ATS stores in England, Scotland and Wales.
UTI also sells products in France, Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands and
Germany through independent representatives and distributors.
During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company had a net
loss from operations of $(447,396) or approximately $(0.11) per share. The
Company is currently operating at a loss of approximately $(100,000) per month
and expects operating expenses to continue at such rate until such time as the
Company begins to receive substantial revenues from the sale of its products.
At September 30, 1997, the Company had current assets of $548,327, and current
liabilities of $386,810, resulting in working capital of $161,517. The Company
has limited working capital and limited internal financial resources and the
report of the Company's auditor for the Company's fiscal year end at June 30,
1997, contained a going concern modification as to the ability of the Company
to continue.
During October 1997, the Company borrowed $50,000 from a banking
institution for working capital and equipment purchases. The loan has terms
of interest at prime plus 3/4%. The Company's collateral gives the banking
institution is a first lien position in accounts receivable, inventory and
equipment, and a first mortgage on the Company's real estate. During October
1997, the Company authorized the issuance of a series of promissory notes for
the purpose of raising up to $1,000,000 for use in its operations (the
"Notes"). The Notes have a maturity date of six months from the date of issue
and interest on the Notes is to be prepaid by the Company issuing 5,000 shares
of its restricted common stock for each $50,000 amount borrowed. At December
1, 1997, the Company had issued $400,000 in such Notes. The principal amount
of the Notes is payable on the maturity date, subject to prepayment as set
forth in the Note. At the election of the Company, it may satisfy the entire
obligation for the payment of the principal by issuance and delivery of one or
more shares of Common Stock at the rate of one share of Common Stock for every
$1.00 of outstanding principal amount of the Note. (See "ITEM 1. Notes to the
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 5.")PAGE

The Company's production equipment consists of several "centrifugal
molding machines" and other related specialized manufacturing equipment to
produce low density foam, flat-free tires. The Company has utilized
substantial portions of its working capital to purchase molding machines and
related production equipment and at September 30, 1997, the Company had
$881,849 in property and equipment (net of accumulated depreciation). The
Company is currently utilizing proceeds from the Notes to acquire additional
pouring equipment for producing shell elastomer flat-free tires and to
complete a sufficient quantity of production molds to produce those tires.
The Company expects to be in production of low density foam bicycle tires (26"
x 1.95" and 26" x 1.75") by the end of January 1998; and shell elastomer
bicycle tires (20" x 1.95") by the middle of February 1998. In addition, the
Company is producing a low density foam tire for the front deck of riding lawn
mowers and has developed for testing a shell elastomer rear tire which the
Company expects to be producing during the Spring of 1998.
Until the Company begins to receive substantial proceeds from the sale of
its products to meet operational needs, the Company will be relying on the
proceeds from the issuance of the Notes or other debt or equity financing that
may be available to meet operating requirements for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1998.
Because of the Company's limited financial resources, the Company does
not anticipate expending any substantial sums for new research and development
during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1998. However, as financial resources
are available to justify such expenditures, the Company will continue
development of the Company's shell elastomer tire concepts.
