                                     PART I

ITEM 1- BUSINESS
----------------

         Until November 1, 1982, Bala Cynwyd Corporation, under its former name,
ITI Electronics, Inc. (the "Company"), was engaged primarily as a designer and
manufacturer of electrical equipment for the communications industry. On April
7, 1983, the Company sold its business, its name and all of its operating assets
for the aggregate price of $592,600. The entire consideration (subject to
adjustments) was paid in cash at settlement. In accordance with the terms of the
purchase agreement, the buyer assumed all warranties and returns on past sales.

         On April 21, 1983, a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of
Incorporation was filed with the Secretary of State of New Jersey changing the
corporate name of the Company to Bala Cynwyd Corporation.

         The Company currently has no full-time employees. Its Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer is Albert M. Zlotnick. Ms. Felice Bravato
serves as the Company's Secretary.

         The Company is currently seeking merger or acquisition partners so as
to best utilize the Company's cash and corporate structure.


ITEM 2 - PROPERTY
-----------------

         The Company presently maintains its corporate and administrative
offices at 301 City Avenue, Bala Cynwyd, PA. The Company utilizes a portion of
the premises occupied by Davic Associates, an investment firm owned by Albert M.
Zlotnick. Due to the curtailed nature of the Company's operations, Davic
Associates has, until further notice, waived the payment of rent by the Company.
No rent was paid in the fiscal years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996.


ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
--------------------------

         On September 1, 1992, Antiquities of Nevada, Inc. defaulted on its
obligations to the Company under the loan documents, and on September 14, 1992,
Antiquities filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada. On February 24, 1993, the Court
confirmed the amended Antiquities Plan or Reorganization, which provides, inter
alia, for a monthly repayment schedule of principal and interest owed to the
Company over a period of 22 months through November 30, 1994. Antiquities has
completed its payments to the Company (see Note 2 to financial statements).


ITEM 4 - SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
------------------------------------------------------------

         No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders by the Company
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report.


                                     PART II


ITEM 5 - MARKET OF THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
  AND RELATED SECURITY HOLDERS MATTERS
--------------------------------------

         Due to the infrequent and limited number of shares of common stock
traded, the common stock has been unpriced during the last two fiscal years. The
last available market price data for the common stock was on September 16, 1991
as follows: high bid: 1/4; low bid: 1/4, as reported by the National Quotation
Bureau, Inc. Such quotations represent prices in the over-the-counter market
between dealers in securities, and do not include retail mark-up, mark-down or
commission, and do not necessarily represent actual transactions, and cannot be
considered indicative of any reliable market value for the common stock.




                                      - 2 -

<PAGE>



         As of August 25, 2000, the Company's common stock, $.05 par value, was
held of record by approximately 650 record holders.

         Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to receive dividends
as and when they may be declared by the Company's Board of Directors. The
Company did not pay a cash dividend on its common stock during its last two
fiscal years and by reason of its present financial condition and contemplated
financial requirements, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends upon such stock in the foreseeable future.



ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
------------------------------------------------------------------

General
-------

           The Company presently conducts no business except for necessary
administrative matters and has ceased to be an operating company. As such, for
the fiscal years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996, the Company had no revenues
from operations. Given the virtual suspension of the Company's operations except
for necessary administrative matters, the Company's officers have waived further
compensation.


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

         During the year ended January 31, 1997, the Company earned interest of
$19,214 as compared to $38,402 in the prior year, a decrease of $19,188. This
was due to the decrease in the interest income earned on the amount due from
shareholder and the resultant lower margins earned on the cash invested. Other
income of $89,031 and $31,900 for the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, was from the recovery of a loan with Antiquities which was
previously reserved as uncollectible. General and administrative expense for the
year ended January 31, 1997 was $94,441, an increase of $40,363 compared with
the prior year amount of $54,078, which was due to an increase in management
fees.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

           During year ended January 31, 1997, the Company satisfied its working
capital needs from cash generated from interest income and the collection on the
loan to Antiquities that was previously reserved as uncollectible. As of January
31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $443,550. This working capital is
expected to provide the Company with sufficient capital while it seeks a merger,
acquisition or other arrangement by and between the Company and a viable
operating entity, although there is no assurance that this will occur.


Market Risk
-----------

         The Company's market risk includes the potential decrease in interest
earned on its cash and cash equivalents arising from a decline in interest
rates.


Forward-Looking Statements
--------------------------

         The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is making this
cautionary statement in connection with such safe harbor legislation. This Form
10-KSB, and the Annual Report to Shareholders, Form 10- QSB or Form 8-K of the
Company or any other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the
Company may include forward-looking statements which reflect the Company's
current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words
"believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project,"
"should" and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Report Act
of 1995. All forecasts and projections in this Form 10-KSB are "forward-looking
statements," and are based on management's current expectations of the Company's
near-term results, based on current information available pertaining to the
Company, including the risk factors noted below.


                                      - 3 -

<PAGE>



         The Company wishes to caution investors that any forward looking
statements made by or on behalf of the Company are subject to uncertainties and
other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
statements. These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not
limited to: changing economic and political conditions in the United States and
in other countries, changes in governmental spending and budgetary policies,
governmental laws and regulations surrounding various matters such as
environmental remediation, contract pricing and international trading
restrictions, customer product acceptance and continued access to capital
markets and foreign currency risks. The Company wishes to caution investors that
other factors may, in the future, prove to be important in affecting the
Company's results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is
not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the
impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or
a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in any forward-looking statements.

         Investors are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements as they speak only to the Company's views as of the
date the statement is made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
                          ----------------------------


To the Board of Directors
Bala Cynwyd Corporation
Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Bala Cynwyd Corporation as of
January 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial
statements of Bala Cynwyd Corporation as of January 31, 1996 were audited by
other auditors whose report dated April 22, 1996, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Bala Cynwyd Corporation as of
January 31, 1997, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                             =======================

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 AND 1996
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




1.       Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         -----------------------------------------------------------------

         Nature of business - The Company presently conducts no business, but is
         searching for appropriate investment and acquisition opportunities. Its
         only income consists of interest from investment income.

         Earnings per share - The Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which establishes
         standards for computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Per share
         data is computed using the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares was 1,021,314
         for both years.

         Cash equivalents - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the
         Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
         maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

         Short-term investments potentially subject the Company to
         concentrations of credit risk. To limit this risk, the Company places
         its short-term cash investments with high credit quality financial
         institutions.

         The carrying value of the financial instruments, including cash and
         cash equivalents, approximates fair value as of January 31, 1997,
         because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

         Use of estimates - The presentation of financial statements in
         conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
         management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
         amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
         and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
         reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         Income taxes - The Company follows the provisions of Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
         ("SFAS 109"), which requires the recognition of deferred tax
         liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of
         events that have been included in the financial statements or tax
         returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are
         determined based on the differences between the financial statement and
         tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates in effect for the
         year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

                             =======================

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                  FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 AND 1996
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2.       Note Receivable
         ---------------

         On October 30, 1991, the Company agreed to extend credit facilities up
         to an initial principal amount of $350,000 to Antiquities of Nevada,
         Inc. ("Antiquities"), and on January 29, 1992 entered into an amendment
         increasing the maximum credit availability by $150,000 through June 15,
         1992. On May 15, 1992, the loan agreement was amended, whereby the
         principal amount of $431,724 due as of that date was to be repaid in
         installments from June to August, 1992, with the balance of principal,
         accrued interest and related costs due September 1, 1992. The note
         bears interest at 10% per annum and is collateralized by all of the
         assets of Antiquities, along with the guarantees of the stockholders.

         On September 1, 1992, Antiquities defaulted on its obligations under
         the loan agreement, and filed under Chapter 11 of the Federal
         Bankruptcy Code on September 14, 1992. Under court order, Antiquities
         was required to pay the Company $10,000 per month towards this
         obligation plus interest of $3,000 per month, pending the filing and
         confirmation of a plan of reorganization. On February 24, 1993, the
         plan of reorganization was confirmed by the Court. The plan required
         monthly payments of principal of $10,000 to July, 1993, $15,000 to
         June, 1994 and $20,000 to November, 1994, plus interest payable monthly
         at 10% per annum. Through July, 1993, the principal payments were
         received. Subsequent to that point in time, monthly principal payments
         in amounts less than the required amounts were received.

         Through January 31, 1996, the Company had incurred legal and other
         costs in excess of $192,000 in connection with exercising its rights
         under the note, which, pursuant to the loan agreement, is reimbursable
         to the Company by Antiquities, of which approximately $90,000 was
         collected. The Bankruptcy Court had ordered Antiquities to pay during
         the 23rd through 26th months of the confirmed plan, $86,500 of the
         Company's legal fees and expenses incurred during the Antiquities
         bankruptcy proceedings. The Company provided an allowance for any
         potentially uncollectible reimbursements. Antiquities has made payments
         in accordance with the loan agreement which were $89,031 and $31,990
         for the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, in excess
         of the Company's allowance.


3.       Due from Shareholder
         --------------------

         The amounts due from shareholder bear interest at the prime rate of
         8.5% and 8.25% at January 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, with no
         specific repayment terms. Interest income relating to the advance was
         $10,435 and $35,595 for the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996,
         respectively.


4.       Due to Affiliate
         ----------------

         The amount due to affiliate bears interest at the prime rate of 8.5%
         and 8.25%, respectively, with no specific repayment terms. Interest
         expense relating to this advance was $248 and $249 for the years ended
         January 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                             =======================

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                  FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 AND 1996
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




5.       Management Fees
         ---------------

         The Company has agreed to compensate its president and principal
         shareholder for his services in maintaining the corporate books and
         records and in investigating possible merger and acquisition candidates
         for the Company, and to reimburse him for expenses incurred. Management
         fees of $57,500 and $36,000 are included in general and administrative
         expenses for the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


6.       Income Taxes
         ------------

         The Company is classified as a personal holding company for federal
         income tax purposes for each of the periods presented. The Company is
         subject to a federal tax equal to 39.6% of its undistributed earnings,
         in addition to any other income taxes payable.

         At January 31, 1997, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
         of approximately $23,700 which will expire in years 2008 through 2010
         for federal income tax purposes. For personal holding company tax
         purposes, only the preceding year's net operating loss is allowed to
         reduce undistributed personal holding company income.

         A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets to a
         level which, more likely than not, will be realized. The valuation
         allowance provided effectively eliminated the deferred tax asset
         resulting from net operating loss carryforwards.
