NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Three and Six Months Ended October 31, 1996 and 1997
NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited interim financial statements 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
October 31, 1997, the results of operations of the three and six months ended
October 31, 1996 and 1997, and the cash flows for the three and six months ended
October 31, 1996 and 1997. The results of operations for the three and six
months ended October 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ended April 30, 1998.
Reference is made to the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30,
1998.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations
Sales increased in the six months ended October 31, 1997 compared to 1996 due
to increased sales volume in the second quarter. Gross margin was essentially
unchanged in 1996 as compared to 1995. Operating expenses were significantly
lower in the 1996 period due to management's continued cost cutting efforts.
Liquidity
As of October 31, 1997, the Company's working capital deficit was $76,755.
The Company's working capital position was enhanced as compared to April 30,
1996 by the sale of securities and proceeds from a shareholder loan. The Company
has also obtained an operating line of credit from a bank in the amount of
$250,000 (CAN). As of October 31, 1997, the amount used on the line of credit
was $14,649.
The Company anticipates its need for cash over the next 12 months for general
and administrative expenses to be less than $10,000 per month. This amount is
expected to be provided from operations and provided by private placements of
debt or equity.
The Company has no specific plans for any placement of its securities.
