Note 9. Management Fees

         The Company entered into a Management Consultant Retainer Agreement
         with John Howes on October 1, 1972.  Since John Howes no longer desires
         to provide the management consultants services required in the
         agreement, the Company has agreed that the Management Consultant
         Retainer Agreement be assigned, transferred and conveyed to Oak Helm
         Partners who assumed all rights and duties of the Agreement as of
         August 1, 1991. Oak Helm Partners received management fees of $35,750
         for the year ended September 30, 1997 and $39,000 for each of the years
         ended September 30, 1998 and 1996.

Note 10. Provision for Income Taxes

         Due to loss carry forwards from previous years,  a provision for income
         taxes has not been made.  There will be no material effect on the
         Company upon its adoption of  SFAS No. 96, Accounting for Income Taxes.
