REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
LEONARD PARKER COMPANY AND AFFILIATES

We have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet of Leonard  Parker
Company  and  Affiliates  as of December  31,  1996,  and the  related  combined
statements of  operations,  stockholders'  equity and cash flows for each of the
two years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. These combined financial  statements
are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our  responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined  financial  statements based on our audits.
We did not audit the financial  statements of Leonard  Parker  Company  (Africa)
(Propriety) Limited, a foreign affiliate,  which statements reflect total assets
of  $597,378 as of December  31,  1996,  and total  revenues of  $1,039,762  and
$311,062 for the two years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose unqualified auditor's report has
been  furnished  to us, and our  opinion  insofar  as it relates to the  amounts
included  for such  affiliate,  is  based  solely  on the  report  of the  other
auditors.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  based on our  audits  and the  report of other  auditors,  the
combined financial  statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects,  the financial position of Leonard Parker Company and Affiliates as of
December 31, 1996, and the results of their  operations and their cash flows for
each of the two  years  ended  December  31,  1996 and 1995 in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

               REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS

We have audited the annual  financial  statements set out on pages two to eight.
These financial  statements are the  responsibility of the company's  directors.
Our responsibility is to report on these financial statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
These standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance that, in all material  respects,  fair presentation is achieved in the
financial statements.  An audit includes an evaluation of the appropriateness of
the accounting policies, an examination, on a test basis, of evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures included in the financial statements,  an assessment
of the  reasonableness  of  significant  estimates  and a  consideration  of the
appropriateness  of the overall financial  statement  presentation.  We consider
that our audit procedures were  appropriate in the  circumstances to express our
opinion presented below.

In our opinion these financial  statements fairly present the financial position
of the company at December 31, 1996,  and the result of its  operations and cash
flow  information for the year then ended in conformity with generally  accepted
accounting practice and in the manner required by the Companies Act.

                         NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                         The Company,  acting as agent for two of its customers,
                         maintains two repurchase agreement accounts in the name
                         of the  Company  as  agent  for  the  customers.  These
                         accounts are used to fund the purchases of merchandise.
                         The balance in these  accounts as of December 31, 1996,
                         totaled approximately $22,000.

                         The Company is  currently a defendant  of a lawsuit for
                         copyright  infringement.  The  claimant  is  seeking an
                         award of $100,000  per  infringement  and there are two
                         alleged  copyrights  in the  suit.  Management  and the
                         Company's counsel believe that the Company has defenses
                         in this  matter  and that it will  not have a  material
                         adverse effect on these financial statements.

                         The  Florida  Department  of Revenue has  assessed  the
                         Company  with a sales tax  deficiency  in the amount of
                         approximately   $237,000,   including   penalties   and
                         interest.  The  Company is  appealing  the  assessment.
                         Management has provided for  approximately  $209,000 in
                         connection  with  this  matter.  However,  the  Company
                         intends to vigorously defend this matter.
