THE QUARTZ GROUP SELLS DISC DUPLICATION

 SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 1997-- The Quartz Group
Inc. (F.K.A. Brown Disc Products Company, OTCBB:BDPC), a Silicon Valley based
quartzware manufacturer and fabricator, Thursday announced that it has sold
certain portions of its media disc duplication operations for approximately
$100,000 to QRS Software Inc.

 "As a whole, the disc duplication operation no longer fits with our
core business of quartzware manufacturing", stated David J. Lopes, chief
executive officer for the Quartz Group.  Based in Santa Ana, the Quartz Group
fabricates a complete line of quartz glass products for use in the chip
manufacturing and semiconductor processing equipment markets.

 This transaction effectively ends The Quartz Groups' involvement in
the media disc duplication business and allows us to devote one hundred
percent of our efforts and resources to the quartz manufacturing business.
