                 Notes to Financial Statements - Unaudited
                              January 31, 1996


Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company 
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of the 
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim 
periods presented.  These financial statements do not include all disclosures 
associated with annual financial statements, and accordingly should be read in 
conjunction with the notes to financial statements contained in the Company's 
Form 10-K Annual Report for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995.   

Note 2 - SALE OF ASSETS TO VERTEX AND FUTURE PLANS 

     On August 31, 1994, pursuant to an "Asset Purchase Agreement" dated May 1, 
1993 between the Company and Vertex Industries, Inc. ("Vertex"), the Company's 
majority stockholder, and with the approval of the Company's directors and 
shareholders, the Company sold all of its assets to Vertex and Vertex assumed 
the Company's liabilities.  The assets sold included inventory, equipment, 
receivables, proprietary technology, goodwill and other intangibles.  The 
selling price of $1,699,580 was paid by Vertex through the offset and 
cancellation of the Company's indebtedness to Vertex in the amount of 
$1,257,001, with the balance of $442,579 being paid through the issuance of 
236,042 shares of Vertex common stock to the Company.  CTSI subsequently 
distributed 233,170 shares of Vertex common stock in an exchange offer for 
746,161 shares of CTSI's common stock.  The Vertex shares reflected in the
balance sheet as marketable securities as of July 31, 1995 represents the 
remaining shares of 2,872 which were not distributed to the CTSI shareholders.  
After completion of the Exchange Offer, the number of issued and outstanding 
shares of the Company was reduced from 3,462,764 to 2,716,603.  As a result of
the transaction, Vertex's ownership of the Company is approximately 72.5%.

     As a result of the sale of the Company's assets on August 31, 1994, there 
were only 31 days of operations for the Company for the year ended July 31, 
1995, in which the Company sustained an operating loss of $88,881.  However, 
the sale resulted in a net gain to the Company on the disposition of its 
assets, which amounted to a net gain of $707,274, after provision for such loss 
and taxes.

     The Company's current business purpose is to seek out and obtain an 
acquisition, and/or merger transaction, whereby its shareholders may benefit 
by owning an interest in a viable enterprise.  Since the Company has no 
operations or significant assets as a result of the sale, its potential for 
profits will come solely from operations it may undertake after any acquisition 
or merger transaction.  The Company has not received from, or made any specific 
proposals to, any possible merger or acquisition candidate and there is no 
guarantee that such transaction will occur.  Vertex will be responsible for, 
and shall be the source of, any funds necessary for the Company to continue 
operating and to comply with any regulatory requirements, taxes, and fees.  
It will fund any costs associated with pursuing merger or acquisition 
candidates.

ITEM 2:   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


     The Company ceased operations on August 31, 1994 and, therefore, has no 
operating results for the six months ended January 31, 1996.

     As a result of the sale of the Company's assets on August 31, 1994, there 
were only 31 days of operations for the Company for the six months ended 
January 31, 1996, on which the Company sustained an operating loss of $88,881.  
However, the sale resulted in a net gain to CTSI on the disposition of its 
assets, which amounted to a net gain of $707,274, after provision for such loss 
and taxes.
