Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1- Accounting Policies
In February 1992 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992.
Accordingly, the Company has implemented Statement 109 in the accompanying
financial statements, without effect on reported income.
Note 2- Earnings per Share
Earnings per common and common equivalent shares for April 30, 1997 and 1996
is based on the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding
during the period plus the shares that would be outstanding assuming
conversion of convertible preferred stock and exercise of stock options and
warrants, all of which are common stock equivalents.

Condition and Results of Operations
-----------------------------------
Results of Operations:
- - ---------------------
Total revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 were $8,857,000
versus $8,279,000 for the same period last year, a 7% increase. Total revenues
for the three months ended April 30, 1997 were $3,228,000 versus $2,948,000
for the same period last year, a 9% increase.
Hart Scientific revenues for the current nine month period were
$8,503,000 versus $7,858,000 for the same period last year, an 8% increase.
Hart Scientific revenues for the current three month period were $3,106,000
versus $2,783,000 for the same period last year, a 12% increase.
General & Administrative costs for the current nine month period were
$2,299,000 versus $2,236,000 for the same period last year. These costs
included Lifschultz Fast Freight depreciation of the New York leasehold
($364,000 in the current nine month period).
Marketing and sales expenses for the current three month period were
$316,000 and $980,000 for the current nine month period. For the current nine
months ended April 30, 1997 marketing and sales expenses are 12% of Hart
revenues, versus 11% for the same period last year.
Consolidated net income before extraordinary items for the nine months
ended April 30, 1997 was $603,000 versus $793,000 for the same period last
year, a 24% decrease. Consolidated net income for the nine months ended April
Page 9
30, 1996 included an extraordinary gain of $1,279,000 for forgiveness of debt.
Net income for the current nine month period at Hart Scientific was $584,000
versus $1,146,000 for the same period last fiscal year, a 49% decrease.
Consolidated net income for the current three month period was $162,000
compared to $225,000 during the same three month period last year, a 28%
decrease. Consolidated net income including extraordinary items for the prior
year's three months ended April 30, 1996 was $442,000 which included an
extraordinary gain of $217,000 for forgiveness of debt. Net income for the
current three month period at Hart Scientific was $215,000 versus $364,000 for
the same period last fiscal year, a 41% decrease.
The decrease in net income for the current period is due to a change in
product sales mix, competitive pricing pressures which reduced margins and
reduction of higher margin export sales due to the strength of the U.S.
dollar.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
- - ---------------------------------
The company's current ratio at April 30, 1997 is 3.21 versus 2.37 at July 31,
1996. The current ratio has improved from .49 on July 31, 1993 to 3.21 on
April 30, 1997.
The debt ratios of the company have been improved significantly in the last
year as debt has been reduced and operating profits have been healthy.
Management hopes to continue this trend. The Company will need additional
capital to support the growth of Hart Scientific. Management expects that
internal operating cash flow from Hart Scientific and from certain subleases
held by Lifschultz Fast Freight will be sufficient to meet the cash needs of
the Company. Hart Scientific has approximately $425,000 in unused lines of
credit available.
