NOTE A - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant
  to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission;
  accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
  included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
  accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The
  condensed balance sheet at August 31, 1996 has been derived from the
  audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
  the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
  principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial
  statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
  and notes in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with
  the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all
  adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
  for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Earnings per share is based upon the number of weighted average common
  shares outstanding of 1,718,331 for the quarter ended February 28, 1997
  and 1,732,490 for the quarter ended February 29, 1996.



Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Revenues for the second quarter ended February 28, 1997 increased 9% over
the same period the preceding year and increased 11% for the six months
ended February 28, 1997.  The revenue increase for the three and six months
ended February 28, 1997 was due to an increase in sales volume.

Gross profit percentages for the second quarter ended February 28, 1997 and
1996 was 64% and 59% respectively.  Gross profit percentages for the six
months ended February 28, 1997 was 63% compared to 59% for the six months
ended February 29, 1996.  The increase is primarily due to increased cost
cutting measures.

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales was 39% for the three months
and 41% for the six months ended February 28, 1997 compared to 40% and 44%
for the same periods the prior year, respectively.

Other income increased $27,395 for the quarter ended February 28, 1997 and
increased $102,264 for the six months ended February 28, 1997 from the same
periods the preceding year.  The increase was primarily due to increased
investment income.

Net income was $237,336 and $156,229 for the quarter ended February 28,
1997 and 1996 respectively.  This represents a 52% increase.  For the six
months ended February 28, 1997 and 1996, net income was $433,153 and
$246,831 respectively.  This represents a 75% increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Registrant's balance sheet shows a strong capital position.  Operations
used $152,977 in cash compared to providing $307,503 the same period the
prior year.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $206,543 since August 31,
1996.  The company used $56,042 to purchase investments and equipment since
August 31, 1996.  Registrant expects that there will be sufficient capital
to fund its operations during fiscal year 1997.

Registrant has no debt and does not anticipate, at this time, that it will
be necessary to seek any debt financing in the near future for ongoing
operations, but may consider some type of financing for other purposes.

Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation and elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, in future filings by the
Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the
Registrant's press releases and oral statements made with the approval of
