Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements for the nine months and three months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 are unaudited but reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

The results of operations for three months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

These financial statements supplement and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 1997 as contained in the Company's Form 10KSB, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

(2) Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Income (loss) per share of common stock as computed is based on the Weighted average of the number of shares outstanding and issuable during the periods.

PART 1 - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2. Management's discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the quarter, the Company continued to earn revenues in accordance with the NIBCO Agreement signed in the quarter ended October 31, 1997. The Company also continued to produce key CinchLockâ components for field testing.

The Company continued with discussions and negotiations for financing and capital sources in order to meet its working capital requirements and tooling cost to implement proposed projects. Management and/or affiliate continues to fund the capital requirements of the Company, as they become necessary.

(b) Results of Operations for the quarter ended April 30, 1998

The total operating expenses are approximately $36,000 for the quarter ending April 30, 1998 as compared to approximately $43,000 for the corresponding quarter in 1997. The decrease in operating expenses is mainly attributable to a reduction in research and development expenses.

The total operating expenses were approximately $113,000 for the nine-month period ending April 30, 1998 as compared to approximately $136,000 for the corresponding nine-month period in 1997. The decrease is mainly attributable to a reduction in research and development expenses.
