                          Notes to Financial Statements


In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting of only normal adjustments) necessary for a
fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. No provision has been
made for federal income taxes because of the availability of loss carryforwards
from prior fiscal years.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations
---------------------

The Company's revenues of $458,595 for its first fiscal quarter ended September
30, 1996, were $119,081, or 35% greater than the $339,514 of revenues recorded
in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year. The increase for the quarter is
due to higher revenues from product sales. The Company's sales of patented
coating solutions and related services were $198,583 as of September 30, 1996 or
47% greater than the 105,638 recorded in the same quarter of the previous fiscal
year.

The net income of $90,811, or $0.02 per share for the current quarter was
$12,013 less than the net income of $102,824, or $0.02 per share, reported for
the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. This decrease in net income for the
quarter was due to the recording of the settlement of $85,000 in other income
with our former auditors Peat Marwick in the prior fiscal year.

Cost of sales of $71,201, represented 36% of the sales of patented coating
solutions and related services for the first quarter, were $27,258 greater than
the $43,943, which represented 42% of the sales of patented coating solutions
recorded in the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. Overall dollar increases
relate to the increase of sales and change in the product mix of sales of
coating solutions, while the percentage of decrease in the cost of sales is also
due to the change in the product mix.

Operating expenses during the quarter of $298,356, or 65% of revenues, were
$16,814 greater than the $281,532, or 83% of revenues recorded in the prior
fiscal year.

Financial Condition
-------------------

Working capital increased by $93,912 to $763,274 at September 30, 1996 from
$669,362 at June 30, 1996, as result of the profit the Company reported for the
period. Cash and cash equivalents increased during the period from $167,900 to
$217,071. The Company believes that future revenues will provide a sufficient
cash flow to maintain operations at current levels.
