NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Three Months Ended July 31, 1997 and 1996
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 July 31, 1997, the results of operations of the three
months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, and the cash flows for the three months
ended July 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the three months
ended July 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.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
Net revenues in the three months ended July 31, 1997 were
significantly lower than in the 1996 period due to lower sales volume, as
contrasted with a very strong first quarter of 1996. Cost of sales for the three
months ended July 31, 1997 were 82% of sales, respectively, compared to 89% for
the 1996 periods, primarily as a result of increases in materials and pressures
on sales prices in 1996. Operating expenses for the three months ended July 31,
1997 were significantly lower than in 1996 as a result of management's continued
cost cutting efforts.
The Company is not expected to become profitable, if at all, until
sales grow sufficiently (of which there can be no assurance) to support the
administrative burden. Consulting fees were paid for professional consultants,
not affiliated with the Company, regarding private label products, obtaining
customers, and potential acquisitions of private label product lines.
Liquidity
As of July 31, 1997, the Company's working capital deficit was
$34,499. The Company has obtained an operating line of credit from a bank in the
amount of $250,000 (CAN). As of July 31, 1997, the line of credit amount was US
$126,367. The Company intends to sell debt or equity to meet its cash
requirements not met from operations.
