            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note  1  -  Basis  of  Preparation

The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of Form 10-QSB and include all adjustments (consisting of all
normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary
in  order  to  make the financial statements not misleading.  The consolidated
financial  statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
and  majority-owned  subsidiaries.   All significant intercompany accounts and
profits  have  been  eliminated.

Certain  items  in the fiscal 2000 financial statements have been reclassified
to  conform  to  the  fiscal  2001  manner  of  presentation.


Note  2  -  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents

Cash  and cash equivalents include investments that are readily convertible to
known  amounts  of  cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
The  Company  places  its  cash  and temporary cash investments with financial
institutions.    At  times,  such  investments  may  be in excess of federally
insured  limits.


Note  3  -  Discontinued  Operations

 On  December 31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors,  Inc.  ("Krazy Colors") operation due to continuing losses incurred by
the  operation,  as  well  as  the  business' inability to sustain significant
long-term customers.  On August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell
the  assets  or  stock  of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, NBI Properties, Inc.
("NBI  Properties")  and  Willowbrook  Properties,  Inc.  ("Willowbrook
Properties"),  in  order  to  pay the remaining balance of the IRS debt due on
December  31,  1999 (see Note 8).  Therefore, the Company has discontinued its
children's  paint manufacturing, hotel and real estate development operations,
and  it  has  separately  reported  the  income or loss from these segments as
discontinued  operations  for  the  quarters and six months ended December 31,
2000  and  1999  as  follows:

The disposal of the children's paint manufacturing operation was substantially
complete  as  of  September  30,  1999.

On  December  17,  1999, the Company sold a majority of the assets of its real
estate  development,  consisting  of  land and construction-in-progress, to an
entity  which  is  100%  owned  and  controlled by NBI's CEO, Jay Lustig.  The
Company  intends  to  sell  all  of  the capital stock of NBI Properties to an
entity  which is also 100% owned and controlled by its CEO (see Note 14).  The
Company  recorded  a  deferred gain on the sale of the real estate development
during  the second quarter of fiscal 2000  (see Notes 10 and 14) and expects a
significant  gain  overall

from  the  discontinued  operations of the hotel, and therefore, no amount has
been  recorded related to these disposals; these gains will be recognized when
realized.

The  net  long-term  assets  of  discontinued  operations at December 31, 2000
consisted  primarily  of  land,  buildings  and  hotel furniture, fixtures and
equipment,  net  of  a  long-term mortgage note payable by the hotel.  The net
current  assets  of  discontinued  operations  at  December 31, 2000 consisted
primarily  of  cash,  net  of  accounts  payable  and  accrued  liabilities.


Note  4  -  Investments  in  Securities  and  Obligations  from  Short-Sale
Transactions

The  Company  held  no  investments and had no realized or unrealized gains or
losses  for  the  quarter  or  six months ended December 31, 2000.  During the
three  and six months ended December 31, 1999, all of the Company's securities
were  classified  as  trading  securities;  no  securities  were classified as
held-to-maturity  or available-for-sale.  The Company recorded a realized gain
of  $9,000  and  no unrealized gain or loss for the quarter ended December 31,
1999.    Realized  and  unrealized  investment  gains  of  $55,000 and $2,000,
respectively,  were  recorded  for  the  six  months  ended December 31, 1999.

As  part  of  its  investment policies, the Company's investment portfolio may
include  option instruments and may  include a concentrated position in one or
more  securities.    As  a result of this, the financial results may fluctuate
significantly  and  have  larger  fluctuations  than  with  a more diversified
portfolio.   In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading  securities.    Short-sales  can  result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses  can  be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of  the  securities  subsequently increase.  At December 31, 2000, the Company
had  no  investment  positions.

Note  6  -  Note  Receivable  from  Related  Party

In  conjunction  with  the  sale  of  Willowbrook  Properties'  land  and
construction-in-progress  (see  Notes  3  and  14),  on December 17, 1999, the
Company  received  a  note  receivable  in  the amount of $2.7 million from an
entity  which is 100% owned and controlled by Jay Lustig, NBI's CEO.  The note
bears  interest  at  the rate of two-year Treasury Notes plus 200 basis points
with  a rate of 8.14% determined at closing for the remainder of calendar 1999
and all of calendar 2000, a rate of 7.125% determined on December 31, 2000 for
all of calendar 2001, and the rate to be redetermined each succeeding December
31  for  the following calendar year's rate.  The note is payable in quarterly
installments  of  interest  only with the entire outstanding principal balance
plus  any accrued but unpaid interest to be paid in full on December 31, 2006.

Note  7  -  Restricted  Cash  and  Other  Assets

Included  in  other  assets  at December 31, 2000 was $1,110,000 of restricted
cash  held  in  a  savings  account.  The funds are from L.E. Smith's new bank
financing  (see  Note  9) and are to be used for payments on the purchase of a
new  crystal  tank  for  the  glass  manufacturing  facility.


Note  8  -  Income  Taxes

At  June  30,  2000,  the  Company  was  in default on its outstanding debt of
$878,000  to  the  Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").  On November 1, 2000, the
Company  paid the IRS in full and cured its default with funds received from a
bank  refinancing  at L.E. Smith (see Note 9).  The payment totaled $1,157,000
and  consisted  of  the remaining principal balance of $878,000 and cumulative
accrued  interest  of  $279,000.

Income  tax  provision:

For  the  three  and  six months ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded
income  tax  benefits  from  continuing  operations  of  $15,000  and  $2,000,
respectively.    The  Company  recorded  an income tax benefit from continuing
operations  of $7,000 and an income tax provision of $21,000 for the three and
six  months  ended  December  31,  1999,  respectively.    These  benefits and
provisions  include  state  and  other  income  taxes  and are based upon book
income.

In  accordance  with fresh start accounting, which was adopted as of April 30,
1992,  and as a result of the Company's reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code,  utilization  of  any  income  tax  benefit  from
pre-reorganization  net  operating  losses  is  not credited to the income tax
provision,  but  rather,  reported  as an addition to capital in excess of par
value.  No pre-reorganization net operating losses were utilized for the three
or  six  months  ended  December  31,  2000  or  1999.

Willowbrook  Properties'  Sale:

During  the  three  months  ended  December  31,  1999, the Company recorded a
taxable  gain  of  approximately  $920,000  from the sale of a majority of the
assets  of  Willowbrook  Properties, Inc. ("Willowbrook Properties"), whereas,
the  gain  has  been  deferred for financial statement purposes (see Note 10).
NBI  does not expect to incur any federal income taxes payable from this gain,
due  to  the  availability  of post-reorganization capital loss carryforwards.
However,  it  does expect to incur approximately $40,000 of Pennsylvania state
income  taxes  on  this  gain  because  Willowbrook  Properties' does not have
sufficient  Pennsylvania  net operating loss carryforwards available to offset
the  entire gain.  The income tax expense has been netted against the deferred
gain  on  the  sale.


Note  9  -  Notes  Payable  and  Short-term  Borrowings

On  October  3, 2000, the Company closed on an interim loan of $300,000 with a
new  bank.    The  proceeds  were  used  to fund a progress payment on the new
crystal  tank  until  the  long-term  bank  financing  could be completed.  On
October  31, 2000, the Company closed on new long-term bank financing for L.E.
Smith  consisting  of  a $3.0 million revolving line of credit and a five-year
term  note  payable  of $2,950,000.  The proceeds were used to (i) payoff L.E.
Smith's  existing  line of credit, term note and interim loan; (ii) payoff all
of  the  outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Company's IRS debt;
(iii)  fund  a  majority  of the purchase price of a new crystal tank for L.E.
Smith;  and  (iv)  provide  additional  working  capital  for  L.E.  Smith.

The  revolving  bank  credit note has a maximum of $3,000,000, is due November
30,  2002,  and  has  interest  ranging  from  the bank's prime rate (9.50% at
December 31, 2000) less 1/2%, to the bank's prime rate plus 1%, depending upon
attainment  of certain financial ratios as defined in the agreement.  The note
is  collateralized  by  a  first security interest in all accounts receivable,
inventories, personal property and all of the capital stock of L.E. Smith.  In
addition,  the  note  is  collateralized by a mortgage on the real property of
L.E.  Smith.

The  bank  term  note  is payable in monthly installments of $62,143 including
interest  ranging from the bank's prime rate (9.50% at December 31, 2000) less
1/2%  to  the  bank's  prime  rate  plus  1%, depending upon the attainment of
certain  financial ratios, with the outstanding principal balance plus accrued
interest  due  in full on November 30, 2005.  The note is cross-collateralized
with  L.E.  Smith's  revolving  bank  credit  note.

L.E.  Smith's  revolving  bank credit note and bank term note are subject to a
credit  agreement  which contains covenants requiring maintenance of a minimum
debt  service  coverage ratio and maximum tangible net worth.  In addition, it
prohibits  certain  activities  of the glass manufacturing company without the
bank's  approval,  including  creation of debt or liens, payment of dividends,
granting loans or making certain investments and participation in any mergers,
acquisitions  or  ownership changes.  Also, the agreement limits the amount of
L.E.  Smith's  capital  expenditures  and  dispositions  of  assets not in the
ordinary  course  of  business.  The Company is in full compliance with all of
the  covenants  on  this  loan.


Note  10  -  Deferred  Gain  from  Sale  of  Operation

On  December  17,  1999,  the  Company closed on the sale of a majority of the
assets  of  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Willowbrook Properties, to an entity
which  is 100% owned and controlled by NBI's CEO.  The terms and conditions of
the sale were previously approved at NBI's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held
on  December  16,  1999.  The Company has accounted for the sale in accordance
with  SFAS  No.  66,  "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate."  The terms of the
sale do not meet the requirements of SFAS No. 66 for recognition of gain until
the  purchase  price  is  paid  in  full  in  cash.  Consequently, the Company
recorded  a deferred gain on the sale of $881,000 during fiscal 2000, which is
net of selling expenses of $48,000 and net of approximately $40,000 of related
income  taxes.    (See  Notes  3,  8  and  14.)

At  December  31, 2000, 10,130,520 shares were issued including 2,027,200 held

The  Company  has  authorized  5,000,000  shares of preferred stock with a par

Because  the Company had a loss before discontinued operations attributable to
its  common  stock  for  the  six  months ended December 31, 2000, none of its
outstanding  options  and warrants were included in the computation of diluted

Note  13  -  Seasonal  Variations  of  Operations

Excluding the effect of its significant customer, L.E. Smith typically has its
strongest  revenue performance during the first and second fiscal quarters due
to  seasonal  variations.    Generally, the fourth fiscal quarter's revenue is
moderately lower than in the first and second quarters, while the third fiscal
quarter's  revenue  is  usually  significantly  lower than the other quarters.
However,  historically  these  trends  have  been  materially  affected  by
fluctuations in the timing of orders from its significant customer, which does
not  have  consistent  trends.    In  addition,  sales  to  L.E. Smith's other
customers  during  the  third  quarter  of fiscal 2000 were higher than in the
first  and  second  quarters  of  fiscal  2000 because the Company had a large
increase  in  new  customers  during  the  third  quarter.


Note  14  -  Related  Party  Transactions

Prior  to  NBI's  1999  Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company received a
fairness  opinion regarding its proposed sale of the majority of the assets of
Willowbrook  Properties  and  all  of  the  capital stock of NBI Properties to
entities which are 100% owned and controlled by its CEO.  The fairness opinion
concluded  that  the transaction was fair from a financial point of view.  The
terms and conditions of the proposed transaction were approved at NBI's Annual
Meeting  of  Stockholders  on  December  16,  1999.

On  December  17,  1999,  the  Company closed on the sale of a majority of the
assets  of  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Willowbrook Properties, to an entity
which  is  100%  owned and controlled by NBI's CEO.  The Company has accounted
for  the  sale  in  accordance with SFAS No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real
Estate."    The  terms of the sale do not meet the requirements of SFAS No. 66
for  recognition  of  gain  until  the purchase price is paid in full in cash.
Consequently,  the  Company  recorded  a deferred gain on the sale of $881,000
during  fiscal  2000,  which  is net of selling expenses of $48,000 and net of
approximately $40,000 of related income taxes.  The sale consisted of land and
construction-in-progress  and  was  for  a net purchase price of $3.3 million.
The  purchase price was net of construction costs which were previously funded
by advances from Mr. Lustig.  Concurrently with the closing of the Willowbrook
Properties  sale  transaction,  such amounts were deemed to be expenses of the
buyer.   The purchase price was paid by $600,000 in cash and a note payable in
the  amount  of  $2.7  million.  (See  Notes  3,  8  and  10.)

Mr. Lustig has proposed to purchase all of the capital stock of NBI Properties
for  $1.4 million in cash and a note payable of $1.1 million.  On February 18,
2000,  Mr.  Lustig  paid  the  Company  a  deposit of $500,000 related to this
proposed  purchase.    During  the  second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company
refunded  Mr. Lustig $118,000 of this deposit, applied $111,000 of the deposit
towards  interest  receivable for July 1 through December 31, 2000 on the note
receivable  from  a related party and applied $13,000 of the deposit towards a
miscellaneous  receivable  from a related party.  The remaining balance of the
deposit  of $258,000 was included in accrued liabilities and other at December
31, 2000.  Mr. Lustig is still working on obtaining the funds to enable him to
close  on this transaction.  The Company is also having discussions with other
potential  buyers.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                       SECOND QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2001


The  statements  in this discussion contain certain forward-looking statements
within  the  meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and  Section  21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  that are not
historical facts.  The forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's
current  expectations  and  are  subject  to  known  and  unknown  risks,
uncertainties,  assumptions  and  other  factors.   Should one or more of such
risks  or  uncertainties  materialize,  or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect,  the actual results could differ materially from those contemplated
by  the  forward-looking  statements.    Factors  that  may  affect  such
forward-looking  statements  include,  among  others,  loss  of  significant
customers,  reliance  on  key  personnel,  competitive  factors  and  pricing
pressures,  availability of raw materials, labor disputes, investment results,
limitations  on  the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards, adequacy
of  insurance  coverage,  inflation  and  general  economic  conditions.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Revenues  from continuing operations totaled $3,926,000 and $7,832,000 for the
three  and  six  months  ended  December  31,  2000,  respectively,  compared
$3,113,000  and  $6,961,000  for  the  same  periods in the prior fiscal year,
reflecting  increases  of  $813,000,  or  26.1%,  and  $871,000  or  12.5%,
respectively.    L.E.  Smith experienced increases of $729,000 and $651,000 in
revenues from its largest customer for the three and six months ended December
31,  2000,  respectively.    In  addition,  although  the  Company had a large
increase  in  revenues  from  several  of  its  other  larger customers, these
increases  were  significantly  offset  by decreased revenues from many of its
smaller  customers.   Overall, the Company's holiday orders were significantly
less  than  projected primarily due to customers' expectation of lower holiday
sales.    In addition, the Company is experiencing delays in some large orders
from  new customers due to their apprehension regarding the softening economy.

Revenues from continuing operations are expected to decrease significantly for
the  three  months  ended  March  31, 2001, compared to the same period in the
prior  fiscal  year because L.E. Smith expects substantial decline in revenues
from  its  largest customer.  Although the Company expects some revenue growth
from  its other customers, this growth is expected to be offset by the absence
of  a  large amount of initial sales to new customers as included in the third
quarter  of  fiscal 2000.  Revenues from continuing operations are expected to
decrease  significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to
the  second  quarter  of  fiscal 2001 due to a substantial decline in revenues
from  its largest customer, partially offset by modest revenue growth from its
other  customers.

Cost  of  sales  from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
was  83.5%  for the quarter ended December 31, 2000, compared to 79.4% for the
same  period  in  fiscal 2000.  For the six months ended December 31, 2000 and
1999,  cost  of  sales  from  continuing operations as a percentage of related
revenue  was  77.7%  and  74.2%,  respectively.   The related decline in gross
margin  resulted  from a substantial increase in natural gas costs, which were
even  higher  than  originally projected.  However, general cost increases and
production  inefficiencies related to preparations for installation
of  the  new  crystal  tank  were  offset by favorable variances caused by the
higher  revenue  volume during the second quarter of fiscal 2001.  The decline
in  gross margin for the six months ended December 31, 2000 also resulted from
the  absence  of a $42,000 credit due to the reversal of excess reserves for a
prior  self-insured  workmen's  compensation  plan.

Cost  of  sales  from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
for  the  third  quarter of fiscal 2001 is expected to be substantially higher
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2000 due to continued high natural gas
costs,  projected production inefficiencies related to installation of the new
crystal  tank  (which  is  expected  to  take  two months) and lower projected
revenues  available  to  cover  fixed  costs.    Cost of sales from continuing
operations  as a percentage of related revenue for the third quarter of fiscal
2001  is  expected  to  be  slightly  higher compared to the second quarter of
fiscal  2001  primarily due to the expected decline in revenues and production
inefficiencies  related  to  installation  of  the  new crystal tank partially
offset  by  the  absence  of  year-end  manufacturing  bonuses.

                   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 SECOND QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2001 - CONTINUED


Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  from continuing operations
totaled  $795,000  and  $1,563,000 for the three and six months ended December
31,  2000,  respectively  compared  to  $734,000  and  $1,479,000 for the same
periods  in  the  prior fiscal year, reflecting increases of $61,000, or 8.3%,
and  $84,000  or  5.7%,  respectively.  The increase in marketing, general and
administrative  expenses  was  primarily related to general cost increases and
higher  bad  debt  provisions resulting from higher sales and lower than usual
provisions  included in the same periods of fiscal 2000.  These increases were
partially  offset by lower sales commissions resulting from the commissionable
sales  mix  including  a  significant  increase  in  revenues from its largest
customer  which  is  a  house  account  and  is  not  subject to outside sales
commissions.

Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  are  expected  to  remain
relatively  flat  for  the  three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to the
same period in the prior fiscal year as general cost increases are expected to
be  offset  by  savings  in  commissions and advertising expenses due to lower
sales  and marketing activity.  Marketing, general and administrative expenses
are  expected to decrease moderately for the three months ended March 31, 2001
compared  to  the second quarter of fiscal 2001 due to the absence of year-end
bonuses  and  annual  meeting  expenses.

Interest  income  totaled  $65,000  and  $121,000 for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2000 compared to $8,000 and $10,000 for the same periods in
the prior fiscal year.  The increase was primarily due to interest earned on a
note  receivable from a related party received in conjunction with the sale of
Willowbrook  Properties'  land  and  construction-in-progress  on December 17,
1999.   In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company had
interest  income from restricted cash held in a savings account.  (See Notes 6
and  7  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements).

The  Company  held  no  investments and had no realized or unrealized gains or
losses  for  the quarter or six months ended December 31, 2000.  For the three
months  ended  December  31,  1999,  the  Company  recorded a realized gain on
investments of $9,000 and no unrealized gain or loss.  Realized and unrealized
gains  of  $55,000  and $2,000, respectively, were recorded for the six months
ended  December  31,  1999.    As part of its investment policy, the Company's
investment  portfolio  may  include  investments in option instruments and may
include  a  concentrated  position  in one or more securities.  As a result of
this,  the  financial  results  may  fluctuate  significantly  and have larger
fluctuations than with a more diversified portfolio.  In addition, the Company
may  invest in short-sale transactions of trading securities.  Short-sales can
result  in  off-balance sheet risk, as losses can be incurred in excess of the
reported  obligation if market prices of the securities subsequently increase.
At  December  31,  2000,  the  Company  had  no  investment  positions.

Interest  expense  totaled  $111,000  and  $49,000  for the three months ended
December  31,  2000 and 1999, respectively.  The increase was primarily due to
significantly  increased  outstanding  debt  resulting  from  L.E. Smith's new
financing  (see Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements).
Interest  expense  totaled $193,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2000
compared  to  $97,000  for  the  same  period  in  the prior fiscal year.  The
increase  was  primarily  due  to  significantly  increased  outstanding  debt
resulting  from  L.E.  Smith's  new  financing,  increased  interest rates and
$27,000  of  interest  expense  recorded  on the Company's IRS debt during the
first  quarter  of  fiscal  2001.

For  the  three  and  six months ended December 31, 2000, the Company recorded
income  tax  benefits  from  continuing  operations  of  $15,000  and  $2,000,
respectively.    The  Company  recorded  an income tax benefit from continuing
operations  of $7,000 and an income tax provision of $21,000 for the three and
six  months  ended  December  31,  1999,  respectively.    These  benefits and
provisions  include  state  and  other  income  taxes  and are based upon book
income.      The  state  income  tax  provisions  are related to the Company's
Pennsylvania operations and are based upon book income, because the continuing
operations  do  not  have  any  net  operating loss carryforwards available in
Pennsylvania.    In  accordance  with  fresh-start  accounting, the income tax
provisions  recorded  include  non-cash charges to the extent that the Company
expects  to  use  its  pre-reorganization  net  operating  loss carryforwards.
These  charges are reported as  an addition to capital in excess of par value,
rather

than  as  a  credit  through  the  income  tax  provision.  There were no such
non-cash components included in the income tax provisions for the three or six
months  ended  December  31,  2000  or  1999.

DISCONTINUED  OPERATIONS

On  December  31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors  operation  due to continuing losses incurred by the operation, as well
as  the  business'  inability  to sustain significant long-term customers.  On
August  19,  1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell the assets or stock of
its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NBI Properties and Willowbrook Properties in
order  to  pay  the remaining balance of the IRS debt due on December 31, 1999
(see  Notes  3,  8  and 14 to accompanying consolidated financial statements).
Therefore,  the  Company  has discontinued its children's paint manufacturing,
hotel,  and real estate development operations, and it has separately reported
the  income  or  loss  from  these segments as discontinued operations for the
three  and  six  months  ended  December  31,  2000  and  1999.

Revenues  from discontinued operations totaled $542,000 and $1,215,000 for the
three  and  six  months  ended  December  31,  2000,  compared to $605,000 and
$1,291,000  for  the  same  periods  in the prior fiscal year.  The decline in
revenues  was primarily related to lower occupancy at the Belle Vernon Holiday
Inn,  resulting  partly  from  the  expiration  of a long-term contract with a
construction  company,  and  increased  competition for the restaurant and bar
business.

The  Company  recorded  a net loss from discontinued operations of $10,000 for
the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2000  compared  to  net  income from
discontinued  operations  of  $5,000  for  the same period of the prior fiscal
year.    Year-to-date,  the  Company  recorded  net  income  from discontinued
operations  of $28,000 in fiscal 2001 compared to net income from discontinued
operations  of  $33,000  in  fiscal  2000.

The  net  long-term  assets  of  discontinued  operations at December 31, 2000
consisted  primarily  of  the  hotel's  building  and  furniture, fixtures and
equipment,  net  of  a  long-term mortgage note payable by the hotel.  The net
current  assets  of  discontinued  operations  at  December 31, 2000 consisted
primarily  of  cash  balances net of accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

FINANCIAL  CONDITION,  LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES
The  Company's  total assets increased $2,036,000 to $15.6 million at December
31,  2000 from $13.5 million at June 30, 2000.  The increase was primarily due
$1.8  million received in conjunction with L.E. Smith's new bank financing for
a  new  crystal  tank  of  which  $1.1 million was held in a restricted saving
account  at  December  31,  2000.   The remaining funds were used for progress
payments  on  the  new  tank  and were included in construction-in-progress at
December  31,  2000.   The Company had working capital of $385,000 at December
31,  2000,  compared to negative working capital of $206,000 at June 30, 2000.
The  increase  in  working  capital resulted primarily from payment of the IRS
debt  and  related  accrued  interest on November 1, 2000 with  long-term debt
from  L.E.  Smith's  new  bank  financing,  partially offset by an increase in
current  notes  payable  related  to  this  financing.   (See Notes 7 and 9 to
consolidated  financial  statements.)

Construction-in-progress  from  continuing  operations  totaled  $735,000  at
December  31,  2000  and  included $660,000 for costs related to a new crystal
tank for the glass manufacturing facility.  The Company estimates that it will
cost  approximately  $1,473,000  to  complete  the  outstanding
construction-in-progress,  all  of  which  is  expected to be completed during
fiscal  2001.    A majority of the estimated costs to complete the outstanding
projects  is  related  to  the  new  crystal  tank.  The new tank will have an
estimated  useful  life  of 20 to 25 years, with major refurbishments, costing
approximately  $500,000,  required  every  seven  years.    The  Company  held
$1,110,000  in a restricted cash account at December 31, 2000 from proceeds of
L.E.  Smith's  new  bank  financing  for payments on the new crystal tank.  In
addition,  the  Company  has  received  a commitment letter for a $400,000 low
interest  machinery  and  equipment  loan  from the Pennsylvania Department of
Community  and  Economic  Development.

                 SECOND QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2001 - CONTINUED


The  Company expects its other working capital requirements in the next fiscal
year,  including  any  cash  dividends  on  its  preferred stock, to be met by
existing  working  capital  at  December  31, 2000, internally generated funds
including  interest  income  from  the  note  receivable from a related party,
remaining  cash proceeds due in conjunction with the pending sale of the stock
of  NBI  Properties  to  the Company's CEO, and for L.E. Smith's requirements,
short-term  borrowings  under  an  existing  line  of  credit.
