		    CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
	      For the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

Supplemental Schedule of Investing and Financing Activities:

In December 1994, options were exercised for 430,000 shares of common 
stock which were issued to certain officers and directors for $24,000 
and an interest bearing note in the amount of $191,000. The promissory 
note, including interest, was paid by the surrender of 23,153 common 
shares to the Company at the prevailing market price.  As a result of 
the exercise of these options, the Company is entitled to a compensation 
deduction for tax purposes of approximately $1,827,500 and it is 
estimated that such compensation deduction will ultimately result in a 
tax benefit of approximately $731,000 which has been recorded as an 
increase in capital in excess of par. In addition, the Company has 
adjusted its current liability to recognize the effect of this tax 
benefit.In December 1993 options were exercised for 60,000 shares of 
common stock which were issued to certain directors for $30,000. As a 
result of the exercise of these options, the Company is entitled to a 
compensation deduction for tax purposes of approximately $1,140,000, and 
it is estimated that such compensation deduction will ultimately result 
in a tax benefit to the Company of approximately $43,200 representing 
the tax-effected excess of the fair market value of the stock at the

					    $8,965,436      $8,209,471


6. Treasury stock. The Company purchased 205,000 shares in open market 
   transactions using working capital. An additional 23,153 shares were 
   surrendered to the Company in payment of stock subscriptions receivable 
   (see note 8). The average cost of shares was $6.50.

7. Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common 
   shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during the three and 
   nine month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The calculation of 
   primary and fully diluted earnings per share include common stock 
   equivalent shares from dilutive stock options of 2,094,506 primary and 
   2,116,474 fully diluted common stock equivalents for the three month 
   period ended June 30, 1995 and 2,681,033 primary and fully diluted 
   common stock equivalent shares for the three month period ended June 30, 
   1994. For the nine month period ended June 30, 1995, the calculation of 
   earnings per share include 2,203,506 primary and 2,212,433 fully diluted 
   common stock equivalent shares and 2,727,671 primary and fully diluted 
   common stock equivalents, respectively in 1994.

8. In December 1994, options were exercised for 430,000 shares of common 
   stock which were issued to certain officers and directors for $24,000 
   and an interest bearing note in the amount of $191,000. The promissory 
   note, including interest, was paid by the surrender of 23,153 common 
   shares to the Company at the prevailing market price.  As a result of 
   the exercise of these options, the Company is entitled to a compensation 
   deduction for tax purposes of approximately $1,827,500, and it is 
   estimated that such compensation deduction will ultimately result in a 
   tax benefit of approximately $731,000 which has been recorded as an 
   increase in capital in excess of par. In addition, the Company has 
   adjusted its current liability to recognize the effect of this tax 
   benefit.

The following is a summary of changes in outstanding options for the 
Company's Stock Option Plans for the period ended June 30, 1995:
