NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1997 (unaudited)
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS - The Company is engaged in the business of remanufacturing
and selling on a wholesale basis remanufactured engines and other remanufactured
automobile parts for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury automobile and trucks. The
Company is a franchised remanufacturer for Ford Motor Company with a defined
territory. The Company purchases the majority of its new raw materials from Ford
Motor Company. Remanufactured engines for non-Ford vehicles are also marketed on
a limited basis. The principal markets for the Company's products are automotive
dealers and jobber supply houses. The Company has no separate segments, major
customers, foreign operations or export sales.
USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last -in first-out
method) or market.
INVESTMENTS - Short-term investments are considered as either trading securities
or available for sale securities and, accordingly, are carried at fair market
value in the Company's financial statements.
DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS - Property is depreciated generally as
follows:
Assets Depreciation Method Lives
- ------ ------------------- -----
Buildings Straight-line and declining balance 10-20 years
Mach & Equip Declining balance 7-10 years
Furniture & Fix. Declining balance 5-7 years
Trucks & Auto's Declining balance 3-5 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and
betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
service lives. The applicable property accounts are relieved of the cost and
related depreciation upon disposition. Gains or losses are recognized at the
time of disposal.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales and related cost of sales are recognized
primarily upon shipment of product.
CASH EQUIVALENT - For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
6
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
Financial Instruments - Cash and cash equivalents , accounts receivable and
accounts payable are short term in nature and the values at which they are
recorded are considered to be reasonable estimates of their fair market values.
Earnings Per Share - Earnings per share have been computed on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding. (816,000 shares.)
Company Representation - In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position
as of October 31, 1997, and the results of operations and cash flows for the
three month period ending October 31, 1997 and October, 1996. The results of
operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Company
suggests that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form 10-KSB
for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1997.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Pending Accounting Changes - In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
128, "Earning per Share" and in addition issued "Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital
Structure." In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosure about segments of and
Enterprise and Related Information", all of which are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1997. The adoption of these statements is
not expected to have a material impact on the operations of the company.
LEASE RECEIVABLE
On May 26, 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement with another
manufacturer to lease equipment at 8% interest for a sixty-month period. The
total minimum lease payments are $20,530 and the unearned income is $9,804, as
of October 31, 1997. These amounts are shown on a net basis
for financial statement purposes.

EPA PROJECT COSTS
In February, 1991, the Company was served with a complaint from the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which contained eight counts of
alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and the
Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. The complaint alleges, among other
things, that the Company failed to adequately test and properly transport
certain residue of hazardous wastes which it was treating at its facility. The
Company entered into a Consent Agreement and Consent Order with the EPA, dated
May 6, 1994, which provides for settlement of this complaint.
This settlement called for payment of civil penalties of $32,955 and for
completion of certain remedial projects, estimated to cost approximately
$149,725. Total costs paid as of October 31, 1997 are $90,113. The remaining
amount of $59,612 has been recorded, as a liability, in the accompanying
financial statements.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the first quarter, 1997, were 11% higher than for the
first quarter a year ago. This sales increase was led by sales of
remanufactured engine assemblies, and by distribution of
remanufactured components for diesel engines. Other product lines
which increased in sales were starters, water pumps, alternator
rotors, steering gears, and transmission assemblies.
Earnings from operations decreased 22% due to unusual earnings from
core (old parts for remanufacturing) sales first quarter last
fiscal year.
The higher cash balance for October 31, 1997, compared to July 31,
1997, is because first quarter, 1998 estimated income taxes are due
November 17, 1997, after quarter end. Fourth quarter 1997 taxes
were paid before quarter end.
Inventories were lower in October 31, 1997, than July 31, 1997, but
are within normal business fluctuations. Prepaid expenses were
higher due to payments made on the construction of a 10,000 sq. ft.
arehouse facility in Algona, Iowa.
Part II
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
With respect to the Supplemental Environmental Project (the "SEP")
being performed by the Company pursuant to the May 6, 1994 Consent
Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
("EPA"), the Company has paid total costs of $90,113 for work
performed. No further direction has been received from the EPA
regarding any testing or clean-up that may be required for
contamination found in the large pit after the sludge was removed. No
estimate of these costs can be made at this time. If the EPA
determines that no further work is required under the SEP, the Company
will owe a deferred penalty of approximately $32,955 under the terms
of the Consent Agreement with the EPA.
Please refer to the Part I, Item 3 of the Form 10-KSB report for the
Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 1997, for further discussion of
this matter.
