                                               NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (All information as of September 30, 1996
                               and 1995 is unaudited)

1.     DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION

       Emerging  Alpha  Corporation  (the  "Company") is considered to be in the
       development  stage  as  defined  in  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting
       Standards No. 7. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State
       of Delaware on February 10, 1993, for the purpose of seeking out business
       opportunities,  including  acquisitions,  that the board of directors, in
       their discretion,  believe to be good opportunities.  The Company will be
       heavily dependent on the skills, talents, and abilities of its management
       to  successfully  implement its business plan. An affiliate of a director
       is expected to be the source for most business opportunities submitted to
       the Company.  Due to its currently limited funds and to the fact that the
       Company will only receive limited capital from a public  offering,  it is
       likely that the Company  will not be able to compete with larger and more
       experienced entities for business  opportunities which are lower risk and
       are more attractive for such entities;  business opportunities,  in which
       the  Company  ultimately  participates  will  likely be highly  risky and
       speculative.  Since inception, the Company's activities have been limited
       to capital formation.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Organizational  costs relating to the expenses of  incorporation  will be
amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

       The financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30,
       1996 and 1995 are unaudited,  but in the opinion of the management of the
       Company,  contain all  adjustments,  consisting of only normal  recurring
       accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position at September
       30, 1996,  the results of  operations  for the three and six months ended
       September  30,  1996 and 1995 and the cash  flows  for the  three and six
       months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

       The results of operations  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996
       are  not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  of  operations  to be
       expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 1996.

       The operating  losses for the periods ended  September 30, 1995 have been
       adjusted from those previously reported for amortization expenses.

3.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       The Company  currently  has  informal  arrangements  with an affiliate of
       certain  officers and directors for use of office space and  professional
       and clerical services. Professional services, if any, are to be billed to
       the Company at $60 to $100 per hour.  Use of clerical  services,  if any,
       are to be billed to the Company at $20 per hour.  The  Company  currently
       receives  the use of office  space free of charge.  As of  September  30,
       1996, no services had been billed to the Company.

Item 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
                  AND FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION

       The Company has commenced no operations  and has no  activities.  General
       and Administrative  expenses for the three and six months ended September
       30,  1996  and  1995  include  $3,750  and  $7,500  in  consulting   fees
       respectively, and in the 1995 periods, $1,024 and $2,732, respectively in
       legal expenses related to a proposed acquisition.
