(b) At September 30, 1997 the Registrant held 1,875,000 shares of OSI Systems, Inc. common stock which, in the financial statements, have been valued at their cost of $2,500,000. In October 1997, an initial public offering of OSI Systems, Inc. common stock occured. Included in the public offering were 227,097 shares sold by the Registrant. Proceeds of $2,821,173 were received from the sale of those shares and a pre-tax gain of $2,518,378 resulted from the October 1997 transaction. The Registrant, as a condition of participating in the initial public offering, has agreed to refrain from disposing of any of its remaining 1,647,903 shares for a six month period following the public offering. Financial statements, when issued by the Registrant for periods subsequent to the October 1997 public offering will classify OSI Systems, Inc. holdings as available-for-sale investments whose valuation will be at fair value. 6. During the three month period ended September 30, 1997, there were no investment gains or losses recognized in the determination of income. Unrealized investment holding gains (excluded from income but reported, net of income taxes, as a separate component of shareowners' equity) increased by $2,597,760 to $10,595,244 at September 30, 1997 from $7,997,484 at June 30, 1997. During the three months ended September 30, 1996, investment gains of $9,435,635 were recognized and included as income. Unrealized investment holding gains, (excluded from income but reported, net of income taxes, as a separate component of shareowners' equity) decreased by $5,461,370 to $8,906,637 at September 30, 1996 from $14,368,007 at June 30, 1996. 7. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 1997 represents an effective rate 43.2% for federal and state income taxes. For the three month period ended September 30, 1996 the effective rate for income taxes was 27.8%. In the 1996 period, deferred tax benefits were recognized, which reduced the provision for income taxes to an effective rate that was lower the statutory federal income tax rate. -7- 8 SCOPE INDUSTRIES AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the first quarter ended September 30, 1997, net income was down 95.5% from the first quarter of last year. Net income in the current quarter was $414,815 or $0.35 per share compared to $9,257,768 or $7.72 per share for the first quarter of last fiscal year. Last year's results included $9,435,635 in net gains before income taxes from sales of investments. Total operating revenues for this year's first quarter were 33.6% less than the revenues for the same quarter last year. Waste Material Recycling segment sales for the current quarter fell 39.2% from last year's first quarter revenues. Unit selling prices were dramatically below last year's prices due to the much lower price levels for corn and other animal feed commodities which recycled bakery waste material prices must compete with. The average price received for materials sold in this year's first quarter was 38.1% below last year's first quarter average price. Tonnage sold in the current quarter was 2.9% below last year's first quarter. Vocational School Group revenues this quarter were 4.4% above the comparable quarter last year. Operating costs for the Waste Material Recycling segment were 16.4% lower in the current quarter than for the same quarter last year. Operations for the quarter were profitable in the Waste Material Recycling segment. However, the segment's sales revenue decline was greater than the reduction in costs which caused current quarter margins to shrink compared to the comparable quarter last year. The Vocational School Group operations reported small losses in both the current quarter and the comparable quarter last year. Consolidated operating earnings for the first quarter of the current year were 89.7% below the operating earnings in the first quarter last year. Investment and other income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $429,867 compared to $9,905,910 for the same three months last year. Last year's income included $9,435,635 in net gains from sales of investments. No investment sales occurred in the current three month period. FINANCIAL POSITION Working Capital was $26,438,349 at September 30, 1997. It was $28,928,722 at June 30, 1997. The working capital ratio at September 30, 1997 was 9.1 and was 8.5 at June 30, 1997. During the first quarter ended September 30, 1997, the net unrealized appreciation on investment securities held as available for sale increased by $4,097,760 (from $10,122,484 to $14,220,244). No securities were sold during the period. Shareowners' equity at September 30, 1997 reflects $10,595,244 for net unrealized gains on investments after a provision for deferred taxes. The unrealized holding gains are excluded from earnings. At September 30, 1997, the Registrant held 1,875,000 common shares of OSI Systems, Inc., which in the financial statements, are classified as Other Equity Investments and are valued at their cost of $2,500,000.

For the first three months of the prior fiscal year, the income tax provision was $3,565,000 and the effective tax rate was 27.8%. In the 1996 period, deferred tax benefits were recognized, which reduced the provision for income taxes to an effective rate that is lower than the statuary federal income tax rate.
