                                    PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

General

         The Company sells and distributes, in North America, packaging 
products used primarily in the sale of luxury consumer goods.  Its packaging 
products include metal and plastic cases, optical cases, pouches and bags, 
and paper gift boxes.  The Company also sells display units for retail 
merchandising of jewelry, watches, eyeglasses, pens, cosmetics and gold coins 
(the packaging products and display units are collectively referred to herein 
as "Packaging Products").  The Company's customers are mainly wholesalers and 
distributors of Packaging Products and consumer product manufacturers.  The 
Company purchases substantially all of its inventory from Rich City 
International Packaging Limited ("Rich City"), a Hong Kong company and the 
Company's parent.  The Company entered into an Assignment and Distribution 
Agreement (the "Distribution Agreement") with Rich City which, effective 
April 1, 1996, appointed the Company as the exclusive distributor in North 
America of Packaging Products supplied by Rich City.  Rich City had supplied 
its Packaging Products to North America since 1990.

          Although no market data exists for the packaging products industry,
based on the number of units of luxury consumer goods sold in each category as
extracted from estimates published by the American Watch Association, MJ Jewelry
Sales and U.S. Optical Industry Handbook, and on Rich City's pricing data, the
Company estimates that in 1994 the U.S. wholesale market was approximately
$130,000,000 for jewelry packages of all types, approximately $140,000,000 for
watch boxes, and, in 1995, was approximately $54,000,000 for prescription
optical cases.

         The Company believes that the market for Packaging Products in North 
America is fragmented and lacks a centralized, efficient mechanism for 
bringing such products from areas of low-cost production to wholesalers, 
distributors and consumer product manufacturers.  As part of its marketing 
strategy, the Company's goal is to consolidate this process through its own 
system of purchasing and customizing high quality Packaging Products from the 
Company's low-cost Asian producer and distributing the products in North 
America.

          To effect this strategy, the Company leases a 2,000 square-foot office
and showroom in the Empire State Building in New York City, and a 33,000
square-foot warehouse and distribution center in Raritan Center, Edison, New
Jersey, for the Company's warehousing, customization and distribution
operations.  The Company believes that its warehousing and customizing
capabilities located in the United States, coupled with its Asian low-cost

                                       3
<PAGE>

source of supply, give it an advantage over its competitors in the North
American market by enabling the Company to fill orders and customize products on
a "just in time" basis.  The Company's source of supply allows it to capitalize
on lower production costs obtainable overseas, while maintaining the high
quality of its products.

Competition

         The Company is aware of eight substantial foreign-based 
manufacturers and of six North American distributors whose products are in 
direct competition with various of its Packaging Products.  The cost of 
manufacturing Packaging Products in North America is relatively high, causing 
manufacturers to seek out overseas suppliers to fill their orders.

         The Company believes that it will be able to compete by having the
flexibility to respond quickly to orders and catering to changes in customers'
design specifications; by endeavoring to offer a wider range of products than
its competitors; and by capitalizing on lower production costs obtainable
through its Distribution Agreement with Rich City, while maintaining the high
quality of its products.  The Company believes it can offer its North American
customers a quick response time on short orders because of its customization
facilities in the U.S.

         There is substantial competition in the Packaging Products industry. 
 The Company competes with distributors and manufacturers of Packaging 
Products based in the U.S. and overseas.  Many of the Company's competitors 
have name recognition in the market and longer operating histories and in 
many cases are substantially larger and better financed than the Company.  
Such competitors may use their economic strength to influence the market to 
continue to buy their existing or newly developed products.  New competitors 
may arise and may market products which compete with the Company's products.  
The Company believes that several companies currently distribute products in 
North America in direct competition with the Company's Packaging Products, 
including International Packaging Inc., Gem Case Inc., Fuller Corporation, 
Rocket Jewelry Box Inc., Boxco Inc. and Gunther Mele Inc.  Some of the 
Company's current customers presently, or at some future point may, compete 
with the Company.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations."

Government Regulation:  Import/Export

         The People's Republic of China (the "PRC") currently enjoys 
Most-Favored Nation ("MFN") status granted by the United States, which 
results in imports into the United States from the PRC being subject to the 
lowest applicable tariffs.  The United States annually reconsiders the 
renewal of MFN trading status for the PRC.  There can be no

                                       4
<PAGE>

assurance, however, that the PRC's MFN status will be renewed in future years. 
The Company believes that the non-renewal of MFN trading status would adversely
affect the pricing of any inventory of the Company consisting of products
manufactured within the PRC.  Failure by the United States to renew the PRC's
MFN status, could cause an increase in the cost to import Packaging Products to
Hong Kong from the PRC, and, after transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong, from
Hong Kong to the United States.  Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement,
this would increase prices paid by the Company to Rich City for Packaging
Products.  If such prices became prohibitively high, there can be no assurance
that the Company could locate substitute suppliers of Packaging Products outside
of the PRC.  Failure by the Company to locate such suppliers would result in a
loss of revenues, a loss of customers due to failure to timely meet orders
and/or a total loss of the Company's inventory.

         At current rates an import duty of between 5% and 20% will be 
payable by the Company on the import price of metal and plastic cases 
imported into the U.S. and Canada.  For the year ended March 31, 1997, metal 
cases accounted for approximately 48.9% of total imports from Rich City to 
North America; plastic cases accounted for approximately 41.8%.  If the PRC 
were to lose MFN status, then the Company's products may be subject to higher 
tariffs and import duties in the U.S.  Although it is not possible to 
quantify the potential impact of higher tariffs and duties, the Company 
believes that, due to the comparatively low cost of production in the PRC, it 
would be able to withstand an increase in tariffs while still being able to 
compete profitably in the U.S. market.

Employees

         As of March 31, 1997, the Company employed approximately 18 
employees. These employees include five marketing and sales representatives 
and a receptionist in the New York office as well as four accounting 
professionals and eight distribution specialists in the New Jersey warehouse. 
 The distribution staff includes Operations and Warehouse Managers, a 
Warehouse Supervisor, a printing specialist, packers and assistants.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

Leases

         The Company leases a 2,000 square-foot space for its offices and 
showroom in the Empire State Building, 350 Fifth Avenue, Suite 3922, New 
York, New York for a five-year period commencing July 1, 1996 at an annual 
rent of $42,096. The Company also leases for the warehousing and 
customization of its products a 33,000 square-foot facility in Raritan, New 
Jersey, for a period of five years commencing November 1, 1996, at an annual 
rent of $150,336 plus 30% of certain common charges for the building in which 
the facility is located. The Company leases

                                       5

an apartment in Highland Park, New Jersey, commencing September 1, 1996, for 
one year at an annual rent of $15,600.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
         STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         The Company's Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market.

         The range of the high and low sales prices per share of the 
Company's Common Stock during the last fiscal year, as reported by the Nasdaq
National Market, is set forth below:

      4th Quarter............................    7    5


         As of June 10, 1997, there were approximately 12  holders of record 
of the Company's Common Stock.

         The Company has never paid cash dividends on its Common Stock.  
Payment of dividends, if any, will be within the discretion of the Company's 
Board of Directors and will depend, among other factors, on earnings, capital 
requirements and the operating and financial condition of the Company.  At 
the present time, the Company's anticipated capital requirements are such 
that it intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings, if any, in order to 
finance the development of its business.

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction 
with the financial statements and notes thereto contained elsewhere herein.

                                       7

         All statements, trend analysis and other information contained in 
this report relative to markets for the Company's products and trends in the 
Company's operations or financial results, as well as other statements 
including words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "estimate", 
"expect", "intend", and other similar expressions, constitute forward-looking 
statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Introduction

         The Company sells and distributes, in North America, packaging 
products used primarily in the sale of luxury consumer goods and premium 
products.  Its packaging products include metal, plastic and paper based 
jewelry cases, optical cases, watch boxes, pouches, and paper shopping bags 
and gift boxes.  The Company has a 2,000 square-foot office and showroom in 
the Empire State Building, 350 Fifth Avenue, New York City and a 33,000 
square-foot office, warehouse and light assembly facility in Raritan Center 
Industrial Park, Edison, New Jersey.

         The Company is the successor to the North American distribution 
business of Rich City ("the R.C.N.A. Distribution Business"), and, 
accordingly, the Company's historical financial information is derived from 
the operations of Rich City in North America.  Under the terms of the 
Distribution Agreement, Rich City has assigned all of its business in North 
America to the Company, effective April 1, 1996, with the exclusive rights to 
market, distribute, sell and warehouse the Packaging Products supplied by 
Rich City, and the rights to procure from other suppliers, if needed.  Assets 
and liabilities of the R.C.N.A. Distribution Business as at March 31, 1996 
were not transferred to the Company.

         The Company's Financial Statements appearing elsewhere herein 
consist of (i) Financial Statements of the R.C.N.A. Distribution Business for 
the fiscal years ended March 31, 1995, and 1996; and (ii) The Company's 
Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 1997.

         The Financial Statements for the R.C.N.A. Distribution Business, for 
the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 have been prepared on a "carved-out" 
basis as if the R.C.N.A. Distribution Business had been in existence and 
operating independently prior to the effective date of April 1, 1996 of the 
Distribution Agreement.  This financial information does not purport to 
represent what the results of operations or financial position of the 
R.C.N.A. Distribution Business would actually have been had the Distribution 
Agreement been in effect on such date or at the beginning of the period, or 
to project the results of the operations of the R.C.N.A. Distribution 
Business for any future date or period.

                                       8
<PAGE>

        Commencing in the third quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company 
incurred additional costs related to its operations as an independent entity 
in the U.S. These costs included salaries at $168,647, sales commissions from 
1-3% of sales, and depreciation on property and equipment at $18,739.

         The Distribution Agreement provides that the 
inventory purchase price payable by the Company to Rich City equals Rich 
City's cost to manufacture the Packaging Products plus a 6-8% mark-up 
depending upon the product being manufactured and Rich City's production 
schedule.  The FOB price payable by the Company for its inventory of 
Packaging Product is directly tied to Rich City's manufacturing cost, any 
inflationary pressure on the components of Rich City's manufacturing cost 
(e.g. costs of materials, labor, office and factory overhead) would increase 
the purchase price paid by the Company for its inventory.  If the Company 
were unable to pass such an increase on to its customers, the result would be 
a reduction in profits to the Company.

         The North American market for packaging product is currently 
dominated by a small number of large importers-distributors and U.S. domestic 
manufacturers that purchase Packaging Products from overseas manufacturers 
and sell them to end-users.  A significant portion of the Company's customer 
base consists of these U.S. manufacturers and importers-distributors.  Two of 
the Company's customers each individually accounted for 10% or more of the 
R.C.N.A.'s net sales for the year ended March 31, 1995, collectively 
generating approximately 58.0% of net sales. In fiscal 1996, three customers 
each individually accounted for 10% or more of net sales, collectively 
generating approximately 52.6% of net sales. In fiscal 1997, two customers
each accounted for 10% or more of net sales, collectively generating 
approximately 38.5% of net sales. Because the Company sells its Packaging 
Products to manufacturers and distributors, all of its principal customers 
are also its competitors. Customers which are also competitors include Gem 
Case, Inc. Fuller Corporation, Rocket Jewelry Box, Inc. and Boxco, Inc.

Seasonality

        The Company's business depends on the buying seasons of the luxury 
goods which are sold using its packaging products, with a significant portion 
of its sales and most of its income generated during the second and third 
fiscal quarters ending March 31.  The Company has historically experienced 
lower net sales in each of its first and fourth quarters.  Until the full 
business impact of New Jersey warehouse distribution center and light 
assembly facility, the Company expects this trend to continue in the fiscal 
year 1998.  A variety of other factors may also affect the revenue results of 
the Company, including U.S. economic conditions, the 

                                       9
<PAGE>

retail sales environment and the Company's ability to otherwise execute its 
business and marketing strategy.

         In fiscal 1998, the Company plans to recruit additional marketing 
and sales personnel to increase sales and to implement its market 
consolidation strategy, and expects to incur selling, general and 
administrative expenses in the near term in association with this ongoing 
process.  The Company plans to pursue the market of selling and distributing 
high quality paper shopping bags, premium paper items and specialty novelty 
paper boxes.  This new operations, which has an estimated $350 million 
annually of the U.S. market, will complement Leading Edge's existing core 
packaging business and allow the Company to offer a broader product line to 
new and existing customers.

Year ended March 31, 1997 compared with year ended
March 31, 1996

         Net sales in fiscal 1997 increased $2 million, or 18.2%, to 
approximately $13 million from approximately $11 million in fiscal 1996.  
The bulk of the Company's net sales for the year were conducted in Hong Kong 
based on FOB prices of Rich City, and net sales based on U.S. delivery which 
commenced in the middle of January, 1997 were insignificant for the year 
($518,785).  The Company expects its New York and New Jersey operations to 
contribute to its sales in the coming fiscal year.  Gross profit increased 
$228,563 to $4,580,715 in fiscal 1997.  The gross profit percentage decreased 
to 35.3% in fiscal year 1997 from 39.6% in fiscal 1996, due primarily to the 
mix of product lines sold.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $117,239, or 
10.6%, to $1,221,849 in fiscal 1997 from $1,104,610 in fiscal 1996.  As a 
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses 
decreased to 9.4% in fiscal 1997 from 10% in fiscal 1996.  The increase in 
expenses is primarily related to higher payroll expenses ($271,175), 
commencing in the third quarter of the year, rental expenses, higher 
professional fees and other 

                                       11
<PAGE>

expenses ($226,015).

    As a result of the factors discussed above, income from operations slightly
increased 3.4% to $3,358,866 in fiscal 1997 from $3,247,542 in fiscal 1996.  As
a percentage of net sales, income from operations decreased to 25.9% in fiscal
1997 from 29.6% in fiscal 1996.

    Income taxes of $1.3 million in fiscal 1997 were based upon an annual
effective tax rate of 38%, which included state taxes.

Year ended March 31, 1996 compared with year ended
March 31, 1995

    For fiscal years 1995 and 1996, net sales were $6,310,879 and $10,987,470,
respectively.  Net sales in fiscal 1996 increased by 74.1% or $4,676,591 from
fiscal 1995, as Rich City captured sales from the client base of its former
competitor and customer, Jewelpak Corporation, and simultaneously increased
orders derived from its other distributor/customers and from new customers. 
Sales in 1995 were abnormally low because of the cessation of business with
Jewelpak.

    In fiscal 1995 and 1996, selling expenses were $263,778 and $451,327,
respectively, representing an increase of 71.1%.  The change reflected the
impact of increased sales in 1996 after the downturn in 1995 resulting from the
cessation of business with Jewelpak.

    In fiscal 1995 and 1996, general and administrative expenses were $543,644
and $653,283, respectively, representing an increase of 20.2%.  However, for
fiscal years 1995 and 1996, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage
of net sales, were 8.6% and 5.9%, respectively.  The decline in expenses as a
percentage of net sales was the result of efficiencies created during the period
by Rich City's management.   

    In fiscal 1995 and 1996, operating income was $1,481,549 and $3,247,542,
respectively, representing an increase of 119.2%.  As a percentage of sales,
operating income for fiscal 1995 and 1996 was 23.5% and 29.6%, respectively. 
The increase correlated to increase in sales, although expenses also increased
during the period.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, the Company's operating
activities consumed $2.1 million in cash.  The uses of funds as stated in the
initial public offering prospectus were primarily for the purchase of inventory
from Rich City and the set-up of New Jersey warehouse distribution center and
working capital.  As a part of working capital, the Company set aside 

                                       12
<PAGE>

$1.25 million for income taxes due on June 15, 1997.  The Company's debt to 
equity ratio is 2.4%.  At March 31, 1997, the Company's debt included 
$220,906 borrowed against Bankers' Acceptance line of credit, which was a 
self-liquidating loan. The Company invested $4,688,541 of its funds in 
Evergreen Funds managed by Fidelity Investments in Boston.  The Company 
anticipates using the funds to finance the future purchase of goods and for 
the expansion of its sales program.

    The Company's capital expenditures in 1997 were $296,224 primarily for
leasehold improvements to the Company's New York corporate office and showroom
($86,612), and for building steel racks and light assembly system in New Jersey
facility ($209,612).

    Management expects that cash flows from operating activities and funds
available should be sufficient to support the Company's current business program
and seasonal working capital needs for the foreseeable future.

                            REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Shareholders and The Board of Directors
Leading Edge Packaging, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rich City International
Packaging Limited ("Rich City")'s North American Distribution Business ("N.A.
Distribution Business") as of March 31, 1996 and of Leading Edge Packaging, Inc.
(the "Company") as of March 31, 1997 and the related statements of income,
equity and cash flows of Rich City's N.A. Distribution Business for each of the
two years in the period ended March 31, 1996 and of the Company for the year
ended March 31, 1997.  The Company was formed on December 15, 1995 and is the
successor to Rich City's N.A. Distribution Business.  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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America.  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 statements presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying financial statements of the N.A. Distribution Business have
been prepared from the separate records maintained by it and may not necessarily
be indicative of the condition that would have existed or the results of
operations if the N.A. Distribution Business had been operated as an
unaffiliated company.  Portions of certain income and expenses represent
allocations made from head office items applicable to Rich City as a whole.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Rich City's N.A. Distribution Business as of
March 31, 1996 and the Company as of March 31, 1997 and the results of the
operations and cash flows of Rich City's N.A. Distribution Business for each of
two years in the period ended March 31, 1996 and of the Company for the year
ended March 31, 1997 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   ORGANIZATION

     Leading Edge Packaging, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in Delaware
     on December 15, 1995.  The Company is a subsidiary of Rich City
     International Packaging Limited ("Rich City") and became the successor to
     Rich City's North American distribution business effective from April 1,
     1996, under an Assignment and Distribution agreement signed on September
     23, 1996.

2.   ASSIGNMENT AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

     On September 23, 1996, an Assignment and Distribution agreement
     ("Agreement") was signed between Rich City and the Company.  Under the
     Agreement, the Company is designated as an exclusive distributor for Rich
     City to market, distribute, sell, warehouse and subassemble, where
     necessary, Rich City's packaging products in North America.  The term of
     the agreement is for 10 years from the date of agreement and is
     automatically renewed for successive additional one year periods except
     upon early termination by both parties.  The Company will purchase
     packaging products from Rich City at a 6% to 8% mark up over the
     manufacturing costs, which comprise material costs, labor cost and
     overheads.  As a condition to Rich City's acceptance of any product order
     from the Company, the Company shall advance to Rich City an amount equal to
     the estimated average costs of materials for the products that the Company
     has ordered.

     Under the term of the Agreement, for the year ending December 31, 1998, and
     for each subsequent year thereafter the exclusive distribution basis will
     be converted to a non-exclusive basis if the Company's annual gross sales
     rate of increase is less than the cost of living increase computed from the
     Consumer Price Index.  In addition, the Company is also obligated to pay to
     Rich City a royalty of $2,000,000 in one or more installments.  The amount
     of each installment is calculated using a formula which relates to the
     Company's net sales and earnings before taxes, commencing from the year
     ending March 31, 1999.  No installment will need to be paid if both the
     Company's earnings before taxes is lower than $3,000,000 and net sales for
     the fiscal year are less than $25,000,000.   In the event that the Company
     fails to make the installment payments in accordance with terms under the
     Agreement, the exclusive distribution basis will be converted to a
     non-exclusive basis.

     Rich City ("N.A. Distribution Business") to the Company.

     During the two years ended March 31, 1996, it has been the policy of the
     N.A. Distribution Business to transfer its cash earned to Rich City to
     finance the operations and working capital requirements of the
     manufacturing and other activities of Chung Hwa and its subsidiaries
     ("Chung Hwa Group").

     The N.A. Distribution Business, which operates in a single industry
     segment, is engaged in the sale and distribution of packaging products in
     North America.

     The financial statements of the N.A. Distribution Business for each of the
     two years in the period ended March 31, 1996, have been prepared on the
     "Carved Out Basis" as if the N.A. Distribution Business had been in
     existence and operating independently prior to the Assignment and
     Distribution agreement referred to in Note 2 to the financial statements
     between Rich City and the Company, which became effective on April 1, 1996.
     The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S.
     GAAP"), which do not differ significantly from those used in the statutory
     accounts of Rich City.

     The preparation 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
     disclosures 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.

     The Carved Out Basis is as follows:

     (a)  Assets:

          Property, plant and equipment, accounts receivable, bills receivable,
          prepaid expenses and other current assets specifically relating to the
          N.A. Distribution Business have been identified and presented in the
          financial statements.

          Cash and cash equivalents presented in the financial statements
          represent the balance of the cash not transferred to Rich City's
          account.

          The N. A. Distribution Business did not maintain any inventory during
          the two years ended March 31, 1996 as purchases were made against
          specific customer orders and title passed to customers at the same
          time as the N.A. Distribution Business acquired the product.

     (b)  Current liabilities:

          Accounts payable to a related party represents the trade payable to
          Breakspear Limited, a fellow subsidiary of Rich City and its sole
          supplier.  Breakspear Limited is part of the Chung Hwa Group.  The
          trade payable balance at each year end date represents outstanding
          invoices for the 60 days prior to each year end in accordance with
          Rich City's payment terms to Breakspear Limited of net 60 days.

          Accrued liabilities specifically relating to the N.A. Distribution
          Business have been identified and presented in the financial
          statements.

     (c)  Income and expenses

          Sales and cost of sales for the N.A. Distribution Business have been
          identified and presented in the financial statements.  The financial
          effect of the Assignment and Distribution agreement referred to in
          Note 2 has not been included in the carved out results.

          Selling, general and administrative, interest and taxation expenses
          relating to the N.A. Distribution Business are accounted for either on
          an actual basis or estimated with reference to the circumstances of
          the business based on methods that management of Rich City believes to
          be reasonable.  Common expenses which amounted to $148,282 and
          $172,751 in the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively,
          were allocated with reference to the ratio of transactions made or the
          floor area used as appropriate.

     (d)  Distribution to Head Office

          Distributions made to Rich City for the years ended March 31, 1995 and
          1996 were $1,482,707 and $3,200,595, respectively, and resulted in the
          distribution of the entire equity balance each year.


4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
          hand, demand deposits, interest bearing savings accounts, and time
          certificate of deposits with an original maturity of three months or
          less.

          FACTORED RECEIVABLES - Transfers of receivables with recourse are
          recognized as sales when the future economic benefits embodied in the
          receivable are surrendered because the N.A. Distribution Business'
          future obligation under the recourse provisions can be reasonably
          estimated and there are no repurchase terms except under the recourse
          provisions.

          The difference between the receivable transferred and the cash
          received is recognized as a loss in the period it occurs.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

     PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT - Property, plant and equipment is stated at
     cost.  Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of property, plant
     and equipment over their estimated useful lives using the straight line
     method, at the following rates per annum:

     Furniture, fixtures and equipment  10% - 33 1/3%
     Leasehold improvements             10% - 20% or over the terms of the 
                                          respective leases whichever is shorter

     LEASED ASSETS - Leases that transfer substantially all the rewards and
     risks of ownership of assets to the Company are accounted for as capital
     leases.  At the inception of a capital lease, the cost of the leased asset
     is capitalized at the present value of the minimum lease payments and
     recorded together with the obligation, excluding the interest element, to
     reflect the purchase and financing.  Assets held under capital leases are
     included in property, plant and equipment and are depreciated over their
     estimated useful lives.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories held for resale are stated at the lower of cost,
     determined by the first-in, first-out method, or value determined by the
     market.  Cost represents supplier cost for delivery at the designated
     location and duty.

     NET SALES - Net sales represent the invoiced value of products sold less
     discounts and returns.  Sales are recognized when products are shipped to
     customers or when title passes, if later.

     INCOME TAXES - The Company has adopted the liability method of accounting
     for income taxes, as set forth in Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").  Under the
     liability method, deferred taxes are determined based upon the difference
     between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at
     enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are
     expected to reverse.  Deferred tax expense (benefit) represents the change
     in the deferred tax balances.

4.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

     FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The financial statements of the N.A.
     Distribution Business and the Company have been presented in U.S. dollars.

     The functional currency of the N.A. Distribution Business was the Hong Kong
     dollar.  Transactions and assets and liabilities denominated in Hong Kong
     dollars were translated to the U.S. dollar at HK$7.80 to $1.00, which
     approximated the market rate at all periods presented.

     All transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during
     the two years in the period ended March 31, 1996 were translated at the
     exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.  Related accounts
     payable or receivable existing at such balance sheet dates denominated in
     currencies other than the functional currencies were translated at period
     end rates.  Gains and losses, which were immaterial for all periods
     presented, resulting from the translation of foreign currency transactions
     and balances were included in the income statements.

     The financial statements of the Company are prepared in United States
     dollars because this is the currency of the primary economic environment in
     which the Company operates.  Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
     foreign currencies are translated at year end exchange rates, while foreign
     currency transactions are translated at average exchange rates during the
     year.  Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in
     other income.

     EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - Contributions payable to the N.A. Distribution Business
     defined contribution retirement benefit scheme are expensed as incurred. 
     The N.A. Distribution Business did not provide any other post retirement
     benefits and post employment benefits, if any, are not material.  The
     Company does not provide any post retirement benefits and post employment
     benefits, if any, are not material.


5.   BILLS RECEIVABLE AND PAYABLE

     Bills receivable and payable represent accounts receivable and payable in
     the form of bills of exchange, whose acceptances and settlements are
     handled by banks.

     During each of the years ended March 31, 1995 and 1996, the N.A.
     Distribution Business had factored gross bills receivable of $3,811,936 and
     $3,250,463, respectively, with financial institutions with recourse to the
     N.A. Distribution Business.  The net proceeds after discounts during each
     of these years amounted to $3,748,403 and $3,197,771, respectively.  There
     were no repurchase terms except for the recourse under the terms of the
     factoring agreement in the event of customer default.

     The amount of the factored bills receivable of the N.A. Distribution
     Business which remained outstanding at March 31, 1996 was $1,074,008. 
     These receivables were all collected by the financial institutions in the
     following year.  At March 31, 1997, bills receivable of $836,552 were
     provided as collateral for banking facilities providing to Rich City.

     For the year ended March 31, 1997, the Company did not factor any bills
     receivable with financial institutions.

11.  INCOME TAXES

     Rich City is subject to Hong Kong taxation on its activities conducted in
     Hong Kong.  During the two years ended March 31, 1996, Rich City's
     manufacturing operations were outside Hong Kong and the majority of income
     was not subject to tax in Hong Kong or in other jurisdictions. During the
     year ended March 31, 1997, all revenues were derived from the Company's
     U.S. operations and the Company was subject to the income tax in the United
     States and income tax expense has been computed using a rate of 38% for
     U.S. Federal and State income taxes.

     The provision for income taxes attributable to the N.A. Distribution
     Business and the Company consists of the following:

11.  INCOME TAXES - continued

     A reconciliation between the provision for income taxes computed by
     applying statutory tax rate in Hong Kong for 1995 and 1996 and in United
     States for 1997 to income before taxes and the actual provision for income
     taxes is as follows:

     There were no significant temporary differences during the years ended
     March 31, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and at the balance sheet dates.


12.  CAPITAL STOCK

     The Company was incorporated with an authorized capital of 1,500 common
     shares of no par value which was increased on September 13, 1996 in
     contemplation of the public offering to 5,000,000 common shares of $0.01
     par value per share and 5,000,000 preferred shares of $0.01 par value per
     share.  In addition, each issued ordinary share of common stock of no par
     value was split into 1,250 ordinary shares of common stock of $0.01 par
     value per share.  The new capital structure is reflected in the Company's
     financial statements from April 1, 1996 and earnings per share has been
     computed using the revised equity structure.  On December 2, 1996, the
     Company issued 1,437,500 shares in a public offering.

     In connection with this offering, the Company has agreed to issue and sell
     to the Underwriter and/or its designees, at the closing of the proposed
     underwriting, for nominal consideration, five year Underwriter's Warrants
     (the "Underwriter's Warrants") to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock. 
     The Underwriter's Warrants are exercisable at a price of $8.40 per share of
     common stock at any time during a period of four years commencing one year
     from the date of December 2, 1996 and are restricted from sale, transfer,
     assignment or hypothecation for a period of twelve months from the date
     hereof, except to officers of the Underwriter.  The Underwriter's Warrants
     contain anti-dilution provisions providing for adjusting of the number of
     shares of common stock and exercise price under certain circumstances.  The
     Underwriter's Warrants grant to the holders thereof and to the holders of
     the underlying securities certain rights of registration of the securities
     underlying the Underwriter's Warrants.  The fair value of the Underwriter's
     Warrants is not material.

13.  INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

     During the year, the Company established the 1996 Incentive Stock Option
     Plan (the "Plan").  Options under the Plan may be granted to directors and
     officers of the Company permitting the purchase in the aggregate of not
     more than 312,500 shares of the Company's common stock, par value, $0.01
     per share ("Common Stock").  On December 11, 1996, options (the "1996
     Options") to purchase up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate
     were granted to officers and directors of the Company.  One-third of the
     1996 Options become exercisable after each of 12 months, 30 months and 60
     months, respectively.  The stock options granted under this Plan are
     intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of
     Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The per
     share option price of the Common Stock subject to each of the 1996 options
     was $7.15, which was equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the fair
     market value of a share of Common Stock on the date that the options were
     granted.  Shares of Common Stock issued in exchange for options under the
     Plan will be restricted against resale as necessary to qualify for
     exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
     (the "Securities Act"), unless and until the Company deems it appropriate
     to register such shares under the Securities Act.  No options were
     exercised during the year.

     The Company has elected to continue to apply Accounting Principles Board
     Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" to account for
     stock options granted under the plan.  If the fair value method specified
     in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting
     for Stock-Based Compensation" had been used, net income and earnings per
     share for the year ended March 31, 1997 would have been as follows:

     Net income                                  $2,055,973
                                                 ==========
     Earnings per share                               $0.88
                                                 ==========

     The fair value of options granted during the year was estimated as $197,500
     using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
     assumptions: risk-free interest rate - 5.87%; expected life of options - 3
     years; expected volatility - 15.5%; expected dividend yield - Nil.


14.  EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
     equivalents outstanding during the year.  The weighted average number of
     shares of common stock outstanding during the year ended March 31, 1997 was
     approximately 2,347,603.

     Common stock equivalents are the net additional number of shares which
     would be issuable upon the exercise of the outstanding common stock
     options, assuming that the Company reinvested the proceeds to purchase
     additional shares at market value.  Common stock equivalents had no
     material effect on the computation of earnings per share for the year ended
     March 31, 1997.
