(4) Related party transactions
On July 7, 1998, the Company in partnership with Woolsey Funeral & Cemetery
Services, Inc. formed Woolsey-Hosoi Mortuary Services, LLC (Woolsey-Hosoi), a
limited liability company, to provide funeral services to market sectors not
previously serviced by the Company. The Company's initial capital
contribution in Woolsey-Hosoi is $15,000.
The Company provides Woolsey-Hosoi with embalming services, assistance with
funeral arrangements, use of its facilities and related charges. The revenues
from these services provided to Woolsey-Hosoi is reflected in Net sales and
services which amounted to $6,925 for the period ended November 30, 1998.
(5) Deferred income taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and
liabilities for financial statements and income tax purposes. The deferred
assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those
differences, which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled. The deferred tax liability results from
the recognition of unrealized gains, net of losses, on investment securities
for financial statement purposes and recognition of gains or losses when
securities are sold for income tax purposes, and the equity method of
accounting for the investment in subsidiary as explained under Garden Life
Plan, Ltd. above. Under the equity method the Company's share of earnings of
the subsidiary is reported for tax purposes only when distributions of
earnings are received as dividends.
The deferred tax asset results from the use of the reserve method in
accounting for uncollectible accounts receivable in the financial statements
and the use of the direct write-off method for income tax purpose and the
accrual of vacation and sick leave when earned for the financial statements
and the recognition for income tax purposes when paid.
At November 30, 1998, the Company's retained earnings included approximately
$1,691,502 of undistributed earnings of Garden Life Plan, Ltd.

(9) Year 2000 Issue (continued)
During 1999 the Company will initiate assessment of its exposure to Year 2000
issues. Its assessment will focus on the followings areas:
1.Assessment of its internal hardware, software and embedded systems. It is
anticipated that most of the Company's hardware and software will be replaced
with Year 2000 compliant third-party systems. It is not expected that
embedded systems will have a major effect on the Company's operations.
2.Identification of major suppliers and other third-parties to understand
their ability to continue providing products and services through the change
to 2000.
It is expected that costs related to the Year 2000 issue will be funded
through operating cash flow. The Company presently believes that the total
cost of achieving Year 2000 compliant systems is not expected to be material
to its financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

administrative expenses as a percent of net sales increased to 25.3% from
