ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL
Reconditioned Systems, Inc. ("RSI" or the "Company") reconditions and markets
modular office workstations consisting of panels, work surfaces, file drawers,
book and binder storage and integrated electrical components ("workstations"). 
The Company specializes in reconditioning and marketing workstations
originally manufactured by Haworth, Inc. ("Haworth").  RSI purchases used
workstations from manufacturers, dealers, brokers, and end-users throughout
the United States through competitive bids or directly negotiated
transactions.  After purchasing used workstations, the Company transports them
to its manufacturing facility in Tempe, Arizona where it disassembles and
inventories the workstations by component parts, stores and, upon receipt of
purchase orders, reconditions and reassembles the workstations.  The Company
sells the reconditioned workstations throughout the United States to dealers
and end-users.

There are more than 50 manufacturers of new workstations in the United States. 
Steelcase, Inc. ("Steelcase"), Herman Miller, Inc. ("Herman Miller"), and
Haworth constitute the dominant manufacturers, controlling a majority of the
market for new workstations.  Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Haworth have each
created a unique system for connecting panels, power and telecommunications
raceways, resulting in virtually no interchangability between their respective
products.  Due to the lack of interchangability of parts for workstations of
these dominant manufacturers, the Company has generally specialized in
reconditioning and marketing workstations originally manufactured by just one
of the dominant manufacturers.  The Company elected to specialize in
reconditioning and marketing workstations originally manufactured by Haworth
as a result of the extensive experience of the Company's founders with Haworth
workstations.

The Company was formed as an Arizona corporation in March, 1987 by Edward J.
Cain, Robert L. Campbell, and Charles R. Johnson.  Prior to forming the
Company, Messrs. Cain and Campbell organized and operated Facilitec, Inc.
("Facilitec"), an Arizona corporation that engages in the business of
marketing new office workstations, office furniture, and other office
furnishings.  Among the lines of new office furnishings that Facilitec offers,
it is the exclusive Haworth dealership for the greater Phoenix, Arizona area. 
As a result of their experience in the new office furnishings market, Messrs.
Cain and Campbell believed that there was a substantial and growing market for
reconditioned workstations and decided to form the Company with Mr. Johnson to
pursue those opportunities.

In order to expand its product line and its geographical presence, the Company
raised $2,500,000 in December, 1992 from an initial public offering of its
Common Stock and embarked on an aggressive expansion program.  On March 31,
1993, the Company acquired Corporate Upholstery, Inc. ("CUI"), during June,
1993, the Company opened RSI Integrated Parts, Inc. ("RSIIP"), and on August
3, 1993, the Company acquired RSI of Minnesota, Inc. (formerly Facility
Options Group, Inc. or "FOG").  CUI was headquartered in Livonia, Michigan
and, at the time of the acquisition, specialized in marketing and
reconditioning Steelcase workstations.  RSIIP was formed to supply clone
component parts for Haworth and Herman Miller workstations to other
reconditioners across the United States and was headquartered in Tempe,
Arizona near the Company's primary reconditioning plant and executive offices. 
FOG was headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and specialized in marketing
and reconditioning Haworth workstations.  

                           2





<PAGE>   3
Following the acquisition of FOG, CUI and RSIIP, the Company sought additional
funds via a $2,500,000 private Convertible Preferred Stock offering in
February, 1994, of which the Company sold 555,555 shares.  The Preferred Stock
provided for 9% cumulative dividends, payable quarterly.  In addition, the
Preferred shareholders were entitled to voting rights, as well as certain
other protective provisions and registration rights.  Among these rights, in
the "Event of Default" on the preferred dividends, the preferred shareholders
were entitled to elect a representative to the Company's Board of Directors
until remedy of the "Event of Default." 

Due to numerous difficulties, the Company initiated a major restructuring
program which was completed during the quarter ended September 30, 1995,  and
resulted in the closing of CUI, RSIIP, and FOG.  In addition, Messrs. Cain,
Campbell, and Johnson resigned as officers of the Company.  These individuals
were replaced by Wayne R. Collignon as the Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer and Dirk D. Anderson as the Company's Chief Financial
Officer.  

As a result of the difficulties encountered, the Company was unable to meet
the Preferred Stock dividend requirements.  Per the terms of the Preferred
Stock covenants, following the default of three consecutive quarterly dividend
payments, the preferred stockholders were entitled to elect a representative
to the Company's Board of Directors.  In December, 1995,  the preferred
stockholders named Scott Ryan to the Board.  Mr. Ryan was named Chairman of
the Board at the Company's annual meeting on August 5, 1996.  

Continuing cash flow difficulties and pressure from the Company's banking
institution, resulted in the necessity to eliminate the preferred stock
dividend requirement.  On August 5, 1996, the Company's shareholders approved
a reorganization of the Company's capital structure, consisting of the
automatic conversion of each share of the Company's Preferred Stock, together
with any and all accrued but unpaid dividends through the conversion date,
into thirteen shares of common stock and a one-for-six reverse stock split
(immediately following the preferred stock conversion).

Following the corporate and capital restructuring programs, the Company had
downsized to its original form, operating out of one location in Tempe,
Arizona and specializing in marketing and reconditioning Haworth workstations.

To expand these core operations, the Company has initiated expansion of its
wholesale and retail sales efforts.  The Company opened a sales office in
Tucson, Arizona.  Presently the Tucson office employs one full-time
salesperson and one part-time designer/administrative assistant.  The Company
is currently investigating the possibility of opening a retail outlet in
Tucson to further develop the sales efforts in that region.  In addition, the
Company recently added another salesperson to its wholesale department.  This
employee will be concentrating on developing new wholesale customers
throughout the nation.  The Company has also expanded its Phoenix retail sales
operations by adding additional sales personnel, adding a sales management
position and increasing its advertising efforts.  

The Company's executive offices are located at 444 West Fairmont, Tempe,
Arizona 85282 and its telephone number is 602-968-1772.



                           3








<PAGE>   4
PRINCIPAL LINE OF BUSINESS
The Company's principal line of business is the sale of reconditioned Haworth
workstations.  Historically, these sales have accounted for approximately 80%
of the Company's revenues.

The Company purchases used Haworth workstations from manufacturers, dealers,
brokers, and end-users and transports them to its manufacturing facility in
Tempe, Arizona where it disassembles and inventories the workstations by
component parts, stores, and, upon receipt of purchase orders, reconditions
and reassembles the workstations.  The reconditioning process includes
sanding, painting, laminating, and reupholstering.  Certain parts of the used
Haworth workstations the Company purchases are damaged beyond repair and must
be replaced with new parts purchased from Haworth, clone parts which the
Company purchases from various vendors, and new parts which the Company
manufactures from raw materials.  The Company markets these reconditioned
Haworth workstations throughout the United States.  Orders received by the
Company range from as few as one workstation to as many as several hundred
workstations.  However, orders for more than fifty workstations are rare
because the manufacturers of new workstations offer deeper discounts on orders
of this size, which makes it more difficult for the Company to offer its
reconditioned workstations at a lower price than the new workstations.  

The Company believes that workstations offer advantages over the traditional
desk, free standing file, and permanent dry wall dividers common to historical
office layouts since workstations enable businesses to house more people in a
given space than traditional structures and are easier to move and
reconfigure.  In addition, the Company believes its reconditioned Haworth
workstations offer an advantage over much of its competition because they are
higher quality than the new workstations that are available in the same price
range. 

OTHER LINES OF BUSINESS
The Company derives certain revenues outside of its principal line of
business.  Other lines of business in which the Company engages include: 
brokering "as is" used workstations, selling new office furniture produced by
other manufacturers (primarily desks, files, and chairs), installing
workstations, and reconditioning product already owned by customers. 
Historically, these other lines of business have accounted for approximately
20% of the Company's revenues.

INVENTORY AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY
The Company purchases used Haworth workstations throughout the United States
through competitive bids or private negotiations with new workstations
manufacturers and dealers, used workstation brokers, and end-users.  The
Company then transports the used Haworth workstations to its facility in
Tempe, Arizona where it disassembles, inventories by component part, and
stores the used Haworth workstation components until purchase orders are
received which require the various component parts.  The Company also
maintains inventories of new workstation components purchased from Haworth,
clone workstation components, and raw materials used in the reconditioning
process.  These raw materials include items such as fabric, particle board,
laminate, and paint.

                           4






                           




<PAGE>   5

The Company carries a limited amount of work in process and finished goods
inventory since it generally does not initiate the reconditioning process
until a purchase order has been received and since the reconditioning process
rarely takes more than a couple of days due to the relatively small size of
most orders.  However, a significant portion of the labor related to the
reconditioning process is completed at the time the used Haworth workstations
are originally received and disassembled, and as a result, the value of this
labor is capitalized and added to the value of the Company's inventory.

The Company currently has sufficient amounts of inventory to meet its
anticipated demand.  However, because there is not a principal supplier of
used Haworth workstations and the supply is based upon end-user decisions
regarding disposal of or enhancement to existing furniture, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to purchase adequate levels of
inventory in the future at competitive prices.  Because the Company's
principal line of business is the sale of reconditioned Haworth workstations,
any unavailability of adequate levels of inventory at competitive prices would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results,
and financial condition.

RECONDITIONING PROCESS
The Company's reconditioning process for used Haworth workstations includes
sanding, painting, laminating, and reupholstering.  The reconditioning process
also includes replacing certain components with new components purchased from
Haworth, clone components purchased from various vendors, or new components
manufactured by the Company from raw materials.  The Company's facility in
Tempe, Arizona includes all of the equipment required to recondition
workstations, including closed and open paint booths, a paint drying booth,
sanding equipment, saws, and laminating equipment.

The reconditioned Haworth workstations that the Company sells generally
consist of panels, worksurfaces, pedestals, overhead storage units, lateral
file storage units, task lights, and electrical raceways.  Typically, the
Company reconditions all of these items with the exception of worksurfaces,
which it manufactures because the labor charges to repair used worksurfaces
are typically greater than the cost to manufacture them using raw materials
such as particle board, backer, laminate, and t-molding.  Components that are
often damaged and need to be replaced with new or clone components include
panel top caps, panel glides, shelf ends for overhead storage units, and task
lights.  The Company markets certain auxiliary items such as chairs, file
cabinets, and desks, but it purchases these items new from other manufacturers
rather than purchasing them used and reconditioning them.

The Company's facility has been designed to facilitate the natural flow of
used Haworth workstation components and raw materials in order to streamline
the reconditioning process through disassembly, storage, reconditioning, and
shipping.  Storage capacity is maximized by utilizing narrow aisle storage.
The Company believes that its current facility will be able to handle any
increase in volume as a result of its plan to increase its distribution
channels.  Any such volume increase will, however, create the need for
additional laborers and may create the need for a second shift and/or
additional equipment.

COMPETITION
In purchasing used Haworth workstations, the Company competes with used
workstation brokers and other entities that recondition Haworth workstations. 
Even though the Company may not be the highest bidder for an end-user's used
Haworth workstations, it may still have the opportunity to purchase them at a
slightly higher cost if the highest bidder was a used workstation broker who
is simply trying to make a small profit without actually taking possession of
the used Haworth workstations.  The Company attempts to procure the used
Haworth workstations directly from end-users so as to avoid the middleman
(used workstation brokers) and to obtain these used Haworth workstations at
the lowest possible cost.

The market for workstations is highly competitive.  The Company competes with
new workstation manufacturers, their dealers, and other reconditioners in
the sale of its reconditioned Haworth workstations.  New workstation
manufacturers and their dealers have certain competitive advantages over the
Company including established distribution channels and marketing programs,
substantial financial strength, long-term customers, ready access to all
component parts, and the fact that if everything is equal (price, lead-time,
etc.), most people would choose new workstations over reconditioned
workstations.  The Company has certain competitive advantages over new
workstation manufacturers and their dealers.  On orders of 50 workstations or
less, the Company's pricing is usually significantly less than pricing on new
"Grade A" workstations ("Grade A" workstations are considered to be those
workstations manufactured by Haworth, Herman Miller, and Steelcase) and the
quality of the Company's reconditioned Haworth workstations exceeds that of
new "Grade B" workstations.  In addition, the Company can produce and install
fully reconditioned Haworth workstations within two to three weeks as compared
to standard lead-times of approximately six to eight weeks for the new
workstation manufacturers.  The Company believes that its reconditioning
services are more comprehensive than most other reconditioners.  This results
in a competitive advantage for the Company because it has the ability to
produce more reconditioned workstations and higher quality reconditioned
workstations than most other reconditioners.

There are no significant barriers to entry into the markets served by the
Company.  An increase in competition from existing competitors or the entry of
new competitors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, operating results and financial condition.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to compete successfully in the future
with existing or new competitors.

DISTRIBUTION 
The Company markets its products on a wholesale basis to new workstation
dealerships, design firms, and installation companies throughout the United
States.  The Company also markets on a retail basis to end-users in Arizona
and throughout the country.  The Company's sales have been approximately 50%
retail sales within Arizona and 50% wholesale and retail sales in other parts
of the United States for the past several years.  The Company maintains a broad
customer base and is not dependent on any one customer. The Company employs 
two full-time salespeople who concentrate on telemarketing and servicing its 
out-of-state sales and its local wholesale sales,  five full-time salespeople 
who concentrate on local retail sales in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area, one
full-time salesperson who concentrates on local retail sales in the greater
Tucson, Arizona area, and one full-time sales manager who directs and assists
the local retail sales effort.

                           6






<PAGE>   7
The Company's sales in the greater Phoenix, Arizona area have been between $2
million and $3 million during the past few fiscal years.  The Company believes
that it should be able to increase its distribution by achieving these types
of sales numbers in other western cities that have at least as large of a
market for its products.  The Company believes that it has the ability to
enter markets such as Southern California, Northern California, Las Vegas,
Salt Lake City, and Denver because its reconditioning services are more
comprehensive than most other reconditioners.  The Company intends to enter
these markets by either opening local sales offices, aligning itself with a
local new workstation dealership, or obtaining independent sales
representatives in these markets.  However, no assurance can be given that
the Company will be able to increase its distribution by effectively entering
new markets.  

PERSONNEL
The Company currently has approximately 55 full-time employees of whom 30 are 
production personnel directly involved in the reconditioning process, four are
in the installation department, thirteen are in the sales and design department,
and eight are administrative personnel.  The Company believes that its ability 
to grow and attain its desired profitability levels depends on its ability to
attract and retain highly qualified personnel.  There can be no assurance that
the Company will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.  

The Company has employment agreements, which include severance benefits, with
certain of its executive officers.  See Item 10 - Executive Compensation. 
None of the Company's personnel are covered by a collective bargaining
agreement and the Company has never suffered a work stoppage.  The Company
considers its relations with employees to be excellent.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
The Company's operations are subject to a variety of federal, state, and local
environmental laws and regulations including those governing air quality,
water quality, and hazardous materials.  The Company's principal environmental
concerns relate to the handling and disposal of paints, solvents, and related
materials in connection with product finishes and composite fabrication.  The
Company contracts with various independent waste disposal companies for
services.  The Company may be exposed to certain environmental liabilities
which may or may not be covered by the insurance of the independent
contractors naming the Company as additional insured or by the Company's own
insurance.  

The Company believes that it has been operating in substantial compliance in
all material respects with existing environmental laws and regulations and that
costs and effects of such compliance are not material.  The Company cannot
predict the nature, scope or effect of legislation or regulatory requirements 
that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or regulations will be 
administered or interpreted with respect to products or activities to which 
they have not previously been applied.  Compliance with more stringent laws 
or regulations, or more vigorous enforcement policies or regulatory agencies, 
could require substantial expenditures by the Company and could adversely 
affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

                           7

ACQUISITIONS
Subsequent to its initial public offering which was completed during December,
1992, the Company made two acquisitions.  On March 31, 1993, the Company
acquired CUI.  At the time of the acquisition, CUI had facilities in Livonia,
Michigan and Toledo, Ohio and specialized in reconditioning and marketing
Steelcase office furniture.  On August 3, 1993, the Company acquired FOG.  At
the time of the acquisition, FOG operated out of a single facility in Eden
Prairie, Minnesota and specialized in reconditioning and marketing Haworth
workstations.

The Company acquired CUI for $1,273,289, comprised of $300,000 in cash, notes
in the amount of $300,000, 120,000 shares of restricted common stock
redeemable by the Company for $600,000, and acquisition costs of $73,289. 
Subsequently, the Company issued an additional 81,300 shares of restricted
common stock to one of the former owners of CUI in exchange for his agreement
to relinquish his right to require the Company to redeem 108,000 shares of his
common stock for $540,000.  The Company acquired FOG for 100,000 contingent
shares of restricted common stock, assumed liabilities in excess of assets of
$218,191, and incurred acquisition costs of $154,225.  70,000 of the 100,000
contingent shares of common stock were issued as of March 31, 1996, and the
remaining 30,000 were canceled when FOG was closed (see below).

Subsequent to the acquisition of CUI and FOG, the Company experienced
significant operating difficulties.  Substantial losses were incurred by CUI
and RSIIP (a business started by the Company during July, 1993) during the
years ended March 31, 1994 and 1995, and during the three months ended June
30, 1995.  As a result of these losses, the Company's financing relationship
deteriorated and during the period from August, 1994 to July, 1995, the
Company's line of credit was reduced from $1,250,000 to $500,000.  The
combination of the losses and the credit line reductions put a significant
strain on the Company's cash flow and required the Company to restructure and
downsize.  The restructuring began by closing RSIIP and downsizing CUI to a
sales office with no on-site reconditioning capabilities.  During August,
1995, continuing cash flow pressures caused the Company to completely close
CUI and FOG.  See Item 6 -  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations
and Item 7 -  Note 10 to the Financial Statements.

The Company completed its restructuring plan during the year ended March 31,
1996 and has downsized to its original form, a Haworth reconditioner operating
out of one location in Tempe, Arizona.  The Company has been consistently
profitable since the restructuring and its present strategy is to achieve
growth by increasing its marketing efforts and distribution channels. 
Accordingly, the Company is not currently pursuing any acquisition
possibilities.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company presently leases a 50,000 square foot facility in Tempe, Arizona
that houses its corporate offices, its reconditioning operations, and its
warehouse space.  The current lease on the Tempe facility expires March, 2001. 
The Company also leases an executive suite in Tucson, Arizona which serves as
office space for a salesperson and designer marketing to the greater Tucson
area.  Total rent expense for the fiscal year was approximately $277,500.  The
Company believes its existing facilities are adequate for its current and
projected sales volume. In addition, the Company believes suitable additional
space will be available as needed. The Company owns substantially all of its 
equipment, including its office equipment and its reconditioning equipment.  
The Company's equipment has been assigned as collateral for amounts borrowed 
under loan agreements with the National Bank of Arizona and Norwest Business 
Credit, Inc..

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is not party to any pending legal proceedings other than routine 
litigation incidental to the business.

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

No matter was submitted to a vote of the stockholders during the fourth 
quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.

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

From the effective date of the Company's initial public offering, December 18,
1992, through April 19, 1993, the Company's units (consisting of two shares of
Common Stock, no par value, one Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant, and one
Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant) traded on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. 
Effective April 19, 1993, the Common Stock and Class A and Class B Warrants
commenced trading separately and the units ceased trading.  Effective August
31, 1995 the Company's Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrants were delisted by
Nasdaq due to an insufficient number of market makers for this security and
effective June 30, 1996, these warrants expired.  Effective October 22, 1996,
the Company's Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants were delisted by Nasdaq
due to insufficient number of market makers.  The Common Stock is currently
traded under the symbol "RESY".

A Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $39.00 per share until June
30, 1997, at which time the warrant is due to expire.  The warrants require
the Company to maintain an effective registration statement for the term of
the warrants.  Holders of warrants residing in states where such shares are
not qualified or registered or otherwise exempt from such requirements may be
denied the right to exercise those warrants.  The warrants were originally
scheduled to expire on June 18, 1995, but were extended to the above date. 

The following table sets forth the high and low closing bid price, as reported
by the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, in dollars per share or warrant for the
quarters then ended:

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The statements contained in this report which are not historical facts may
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the safe
harbors created thereby.  These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risk that the Company may
not be able to geographically diversify its operations on a profitable basis,
the risk that the Company will not be able to maintain adequate inventory
levels at an acceptable cost, and the risk that the Company may in the future
have to comply with more stringent environmental laws or regulations, or more
vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies.  In addition, the
Company's business, operations and financial condition are subject to
substantial risks which are described in the Company's reports and statements
filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
this Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Reconditioned Systems, Inc. (hereinafter the "Company") reported net income of
$258,114 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 (hereinafter the "reporting
period") compared to a net loss of $1,728,052 for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1996 (hereinafter the "comparable period").  The improvement to the
Company's net income is attributable to the charges incurred as a result of
RSI's restructuring program which was completed in September, 1995 and the
subsequent positive effect the restructuring has had on the Company's
operations.  The charges incurred by the Company as a result of its
restructuring program accounted for 83% of its pre-tax loss for the comparable 
period.  

The Company's sales for the reporting period were $7,121,637, which represents
an $850,060 or 11% decrease from the $7,971,697 of sales for the comparable
period.  This decrease was attributable to the downsizing that was done in
conjunction with the Company's restructuring program.  Sales at RSI, not
including subsidiaries closed as part of the restructuring plan, were
$6,029,723 for the comparable period, and increased $1,091,914 or 18% during
the reporting period.  The increase in sales at RSI was primarily a result of
increased marketing efforts in the form of additional sales staff, increased
advertising, and further development of wholesale markets.  Following the
restructuring, the Company opened a sales office in Tucson, Arizona and
intends to diversify through opening other low-cost sales offices or obtaining
other local representation in other western markets such as San Diego, Orange
County, Northern California, Salt Lake City, Denver and Las Vegas.  Management
believes that entrance into these markets will be attainable due to the fact
that the Company is the largest Haworth reconditioner in the western portion
of the country and it has a competitive advantage in some of these markets
because its reconditioning services are more comprehensive than those provided
by the smaller reconditioners that make up the majority of the competition in
these markets. 

                           10

<PAGE> 11
The Company's gross profit margin for the reporting period was 23% as compared
to a gross profit margin of 19% for the comparable period.  RSI's gross margin
during the comparable period, not including the subsidiaries closed as part of
the restructuring plan, was also 19%.  The primary reasons for this 4%
increase in the gross profit margin were operating efficiencies achieved by
the new management team and gains in economies of scale during the reporting
period.

The Company's selling and administrative expenses for the reporting and
comparable periods were 19% of sales and 22% of sales, respectively.  The 3%
decrease was a result of the elimination of certain duplicated costs and
corporate overhead that was achieved as a result of the downsizing that was
done in conjunction with the Company's restructuring program.

The Company's other income and expenses, which consists primarily of interest
expense, increased by $10,891 from the comparable period to the reporting
period.  This increase was primarily attributable to the fact that during the
first six months of the reporting period the Company's new lender, Norwest
Business Credit, Inc., charged the Company a higher borrowing rate than the
Company's former lender. The Company was able to lower its borrowing rate
effective November 1, 1996 and again, effective April 1, 1997 as its financial
condition improved.

RESTRUCTURING
The Company's restructuring plan originally involved closing RSI Integrated
Parts, Inc. ("RSIIP") and converting CUI and FOG to sales offices.  The
Company planned to accomplish this restructuring over a period of several
years and, during March, 1994 when the plan was adopted, the Company did not
anticipate incurring any substantial charges as a result of the restructuring.
The first step of the restructuring plan, closing RSIIP and converting CUI to
a sales office, was accomplished during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.
The Company closed down its parts supply operation, liquidated its parts
supply inventory, suspended its Steelcase remanufacturing operation, began the
liquidation of its Steelcase inventory, and converted CUI to a remanufactured
Haworth sales office by replacing its president and its entire sales staff,
training the new sales staff and changing its showroom from remanufactured
Steelcase to remanufactured Haworth.  Subsequently, toward the end of that
fiscal year and in the early part of the comparable period, as the Company was
preparing to convert FOG to a sales office and was working to build CUI into a
successful sales office, the Company's lender was requiring reductions to the
Company's line of credit.  The Company's credit line was reduced from
$1,250,000 to $500,000 between August, 1994 and August, 1995.  In addition,
during August, 1995, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and its President
resigned and a new President and Chief Executive Officer and a new Chief
Financial Officer were named.  At this time, the burden of the line of credit
reductions and the continuing losses at CUI were making the Company's cash
flow position extremely difficult.  In addition, FOG's operating results were
deteriorating and certain key managers at FOG were unhappy with the management
change and were not cooperating with the new management team.  The new
management team determined that the Company's cash flow could not withstand
any additional losses at CUI or any potential losses at FOG and, as such,
decided to modify the original restructuring plan and close CUI and FOG. 
Modifications made to the Company's restructuring plan caused the remaining
goodwill associated with the acquisition of FOG to be impaired and caused the
Company to incur a substantial amount of other charges that were not
anticipated when the plan was adopted.  See Item 7, Note 10 to the Financial
Statements, for further discussion of these charges.

The restructuring charges incurred by the Company for the years ended March
31, 1995 and 1996 and their impact on the Company's cash flow were as follows:

INCOME TAXES
During the comparable period, the Company received an income tax refund of
approximately $300,000 due to the carryback of losses incurred during the
comparable period to prior years. As a result of restructuring its operating
units and the substantial operating losses the Company incurred in prior
years, there is substantial uncertainty as to whether the Company will be able
to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards.  As such, the Company has
recorded a $1,265,000 valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets and
has not recorded a deferred tax benefit as a result of the loss carryforwards
generated in the comparable periods.  The Company was able to utilize a
portion of its net operating loss carryforwards during the reporting period,
resulting in income tax liability savings of approximately $119,000.

As of March 31, 1997, the Company had federal loss carryforwards of
approximately $2,990,000 and state loss carryforwards of approximately
$2,790,000.  The federal loss carryforwards expire through March 31, 2011 and
the state loss carryforwards expire through March 31, 2001.  If the Company is
profitable before these loss carryforwards expire, it will benefit from them
at statutory rates.

                           12

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
As a result of the net income for the reporting period and the reorganization
of the Company's capital structure that was approved at the annual
shareholders meeting on August 5, 1996, the Company's financial condition has
improved significantly during the reporting period.  The conversion of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and accrued dividends into 13 shares of
common stock (see Note 8 of the Financial Statements) relieved the Company of
$337,500 in accrued dividends and the burden of $56,250 per quarter in
dividends going forward.

As of March 31, 1997, the Company's financial condition and liquidity are
sufficient to sustain current operating levels and pursue gradual and focused
growth.  The Company has net worth of $1,376,024 and working capital of
$1,202,365.  In addition, as of June 13, 1997 the Company had approximately
$800,000 of availability on its line of credit.

The primary forces affecting the Company's financial condition and liquidity
are results of operations, collection of accounts receivable, ability to turn
inventory, and rate of growth.  The results of operations during the period
were discussed above.  The number of days sales in the Company's accounts
receivable as of March 31, 1997 was 51, compared to 25 days as of March 31,
1996.  As the Company's standard terms are net 30 days for existing customers
and 50% down/50% net 30 days for new customers, the Company considers the 25
days sales at March 31, 1996 as an anomaly and does not expect to maintain a
collection rate below 30 days in the future.  The Company hopes to maintain a
collection rate at or near 30 days and management has implemented certain
collection procedures in an attempt to achieve this goal.

The Company's inventory turns were 4.2 for the year ended March 31, 1997, as
compared to 4.7 for the year ended March 31, 1996.  During the comparable
period, the Company's poor working capital position necessitated the use of
substituting higher priced inventory items when certain specified inventory
items were not in stock.  With the improvement of the Company's working
capital during the reporting period, the Company was able to maintain adequate
inventory levels of frequently used items, resulting in far fewer high-priced
substitutions.  Although inventory turns were negatively affected by this
change in policy, the reduction in substitutions resulted in improved gross
profits during the reporting period.  Management hopes to increase sales while
maintaining current inventory levels, thereby increasing inventory turns in
the future periods.

The Company reported negative cash flow from operations of $32,267 for the
reporting period as a result of the Company's need to finance its sales
growth.  Management believes the Company's current credit facility should
provide sufficient working capital, assuming the Company maintains positive
results of operations, a collection rate at or near 30 days, and annual
inventory turns of 3 or more.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Nature of Operations and Use of
Estimates:

Nature of Business:

Reconditioned Systems, Inc. ("RSI" or the "Company"), is a corporation which
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Arizona in March, 1987. The
principal business purpose of the Company is the reconditioning and sale of
office workstations comprised of panel systems to customers located throughout
the country.

Pervasiveness of Estimates:

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 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.

Principles of Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1996,
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: RSI
Integrated Parts, Inc. (RSIIP), RSI Acquisitions, Inc. (RSIA), Corporate
Upholstery, Inc. (CUI, a subsidiary of RSIA) and Facility Options Group, Inc.
(FOG, a subsidiary of RSIA). All material intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

All subsidiary entities were closed during the fiscal year ended March 31,
1996; therefore, the financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1997
are not consolidated and did not require eliminating entries.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company recognizes a sale when its earning process is complete. In
connection with projects that are to be installed by the customer or an agent
of the customer, the sale is recognized when the product is shipped to or
possession is taken by the customer. In connection with projects installed by
the Company, the sale is recognized upon completion of the installation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and money market
funds purchased with an initial maturity of three (3) months or less to be
cash equivalents.

Inventory:

Inventory, composed of used office workstations and reconditioning supplies,
is stated at the lower of cost (weighted-average method) or market. The
Company reviews its inventory monthly and makes provisions for damaged and
obsolete items. The Company contemplates its ability to alter the size of
panels and other workstation components, and designs projects so that the
workstations are comprised of products currently in inventory in establishing
its obsolescence reserve. At March 31, 1997, the Company had established a
reserve for damaged and obsolete inventory in the amount of $25,000.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally
provided for on the straight-line basis over the following estimated useful
lives of the assets:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>                                    Years
                                             -----

     Vehicles                                4 - 5
</TABLE>
Deferred Income Taxes:

Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method, whereby deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss
and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences
between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion
of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common and Common Equivalent Share:

The computation of earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent share is
based on the net income (loss) and the weighted average number of common stock
and common stock equivalents outstanding for each period. Outstanding warrants
and certain stock options outstanding are considered common stock equivalents
and are accounted for under the Treasury Stock method.  These common stock
equivalents are not included in the computation of loss per share as of March
31, 1996 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. (See Note 8)

2. Pledged Assets and Line of Credit:

As of March 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $444,336 under
a $1,200,000 revolving line of credit agreement with Norwest Business Credit,
Inc. Interest is payable at the bank's base rate plus four percent (4%), and
has a minimum monthly interest requirement of $4,000. Borrowings on the line
of credit may not exceed a total of eighty percent (80%) of eligible accounts
receivable and thirty percent (30%) of eligible inventory. At March 31, 1997,
the maximum amount available on the line of credit was approximately $675,000.
Accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and intangibles have
been assigned as collateral for amounts borrowed under this loan agreement.
The credit facility contains various covenants by the Company, including
covenants that the Company will maintain certain net worth thresholds, will
meet certain annual net income requirements, will maintain certain debt

3.  Long-Term Debt:

Long-term debt consists of the following:

8.25% note payable to National Bank of Arizona, due in monthly
installments of $4,087, including principal and interest, until
paid in full; collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory,
property and equipment, and intangibles. In connection with
this loan agreement, the Company has agreed to maintain

6.  Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants:

At the Company's inception, in March, 1987, 100 shares of Common Stock were
issued to the founders for $100. In July, 1992, the Company's Board of
Directors approved a 10,000 for 1 stock split, increasing the number of shares
held by the founders to 1,000,000 shares.

6.  Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants: (Continued)

On December 17, 1992, 500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were sold
in an initial public offering in units consisting of two shares of common
stock, together with one Class A Common Stock Purchase Warrant and one Class B
Common Stock Purchase Warrant. The units were sold for $5 each and resulted in
gross proceeds in the amount of $2,500,000. The Company received $1,824,268
after paying costs of the offering, consisting primarily of underwriting fees,
legal fees, accounting fees, and printing fees. Each Class A Common Stock
Purchase Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common stock and
was exercisable at $5.50 per share through June 30, 1994. Each Class B Common
Stock Purchase Warrant entitled the holder to purchase one share of common
stock and was exercisable at $6.50 per share through June 30, 1995. The
warrants required the Company to maintain an effective registration statement
for the term of the warrants.  Holders of warrants residing in states where
such shares are not qualified or registered, or otherwise exempt from such
requirements, may be denied the right to exercise those warrants. In addition,
in connection with this offering, the Company issued the Underwriters warrants
to purchase 25,000 units exercisable at $6.25 per share through December 17,
1997. The warrants issued to the Underwriters also contained certain
registration rights for the underlying shares.

On March 31, 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of CUI
from two individuals. Prior to the acquisition, these individuals owned 90%
and 10% of CUI, respectively. The total cost of the purchase was $1,273,289,
which consisted of cash of $300,000, notes payable of $300,000, 120,000
restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock, and acquisition costs of
$73,289. As part of the purchase, the stockholders of CUI were given a put
option to require the Company to redeem the 120,000 restricted shares of the
Company's Common Stock for $600,000 ($5 per share) for a period
contemporaneous with the common stock's market restriction. As such, the
120,000 restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock issued as part of this
purchase were valued at $600,000 and were recorded as Redeemable Common Stock
and were not included in the Company's Stockholders' Equity. The acquisition
was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the net assets acquired in the amount of $1,075,589 was recorded
as goodwill.

On August 3, 1993, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of FOG
from its stockholder. The cost of this transaction was originally recorded at
$534,916. This consisted of assumed liabilities in excess of assets of
$218,191, acquisition costs of $154,225, and 50,000 shares of common stock
previously held in the Company's treasury. The acquisition was accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the
amount of $534,916. The 50,000 shares of common stock were recorded at their
fair value at the date of the acquisition as reported by the Nasdaq Small Cap
Market, which was $3.25 per share or $162,500. The fair value had decreased
from the original cost of the treasury shares by $1.50 per share or $75,000,
which was charged to retained earnings. In addition, as part of the purchase,
an additional 50,000 restricted shares of the Company's Common Stock were
contingently issued in the name of the former owner of FOG, and placed in
escrow. The shares were to be issued out of escrow when and if FOG attained
certain sales levels. Because these contingent shares were issuable based upon
FOG's performance, and were not connected with the continued employment of the
former owner of FOG, the value of the contingent shares was considered to be
non-compensatory. The shares were considered to be a purchase price adjustment
in the acquisition of FOG at the point in time when they were earned.

6.  Common Stock and Common Stock Purchase Warrants: (Continued)

On December 28, 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with the
individual that held 90%, or 108,000 shares, of the redeemable common stock
issued in connection with the purchase of CUI. Under the terms of this
agreement, the redemption right was exchanged for 5,000 additional restricted
shares of the Company's Common Stock, and the Company's guarantee that on or
about August 31, 1995, he would receive additional shares of restricted common
stock that would result from dividing the then per share market value of the
stock into the difference between the then market value of his 108,000 shares
and $540,000. The Company did not change the cost of the CUI acquisition as a
result of this agreement, since the best estimate of fair value of the total
common stock held by this individual was $540,000 at the date of the
agreement. At that time, the $540,000 was transferred from Redeemable Common
Stock to Common Stock and included in the Company's Stockholders' Equity.

On or about November 1, 1994, the individual who held the other 12,000 shares
of redeemable common stock issued in the CUI acquisition requested the Company
to redeem these shares for $60,000. The Company was unable to comply with the
request and was sued by this individual. During the quarter ended September
30, 1995, the Company reached a settlement with the individual whereby the
redemption rights were cancelled, he sold the 12,000 shares on the open market
for a total of $43,525, and the Company paid damages in the amount of $16,475.
The purchasers of these shares do not have any redemption rights and, as such,
the $43,525 was transferred to the Company's Common Stock account and the
$16,475 was expensed.
  
In addition, on or about November 1, 1994, FOG attained sales levels upon
which 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were issued to the former
owner of FOG. The 20,000 shares were valued based on the fair market value as
quoted by the Nasdaq Small Cap Market at that date and were added to the
initial purchase price of FOG at $4.0625 per share, or $81,250.

Effective March 31, 1995, the Company's founders were required to cancel
100,000 shares of common stock as a result of the Company's failure to obtain
certain profit thresholds that were outlined in the Company's initial public
offering. Since the Company's founders did not receive anything in return for
the cancelled shares, no value was assigned to this non-reciprocal, non-
monetary transaction.

On or about August 31, 1995, the Company issued 76,300 shares of common stock
to the former 90% owner of CUI in accordance with the agreement entered into
on December 28, 1993 and described previously in this Note 6. Since any value
placed on these new shares of common stock would only reduce the value of the
original shares of common stock issued to this individual as part of the
purchase of CUI, no value was placed on this transaction.

On September 1, 1995, FOG ceased operations. Therefore, FOG was unable to
attain the sales levels required for the former owner to receive the final
30,000 contingent shares that were being held in escrow. As such, these 30,000
shares of the Company's redeemable Common Stock were cancelled.

From time to time, the Company's Board of Directors has extended the date
through which the Company's Class A and Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants
may be exercised. The Company's Class A warrants expired on June 30, 1996, and
the Class B warrants are set to expire on June 30, 1997.  As of the date of
this report, none of the Company's Stock Purchase Warrants have been
exercised.

7.  Preferred Stock:

On February 25, 1994, the Company consummated a private offering, pursuant to
a stock purchase agreement, selling 555,555 shares of its Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock, no par value, (the "Preferred Stock") at an exercise price of
$4.50 per share. The gross proceeds from the offering were $2,500,000. The
Company received $2,156,717 after payments of selling commissions and
structuring fees of $175,000, and offering costs of $168,283.

The Preferred Stock provided for payments of nine percent (9%) dividends (a
rate of $.405 per share per annum), payable quarterly in preference to any
declaration or payment of any dividend on the common stock or other equity
securities of the Company. The dividends were cumulative and accrued on each
share of Preferred Stock from the date of issuance. In the event of any
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the
Preferred Stock were entitled to receive $4.50 per share, plus any accrued but
unpaid dividends, prior to any distribution to holders of common stock. Each
holder of Preferred Stock was entitled to notice of any stockholders meetings
and was entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of
common stock into which each share of Preferred Stock was convertible. Each
share of Preferred Stock was convertible into such number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of common stock, as determined by dividing $4.50 by the
conversion price.  

The Company granted the holders of Preferred Stock certain protective
provisions which prohibited any actions by the Company which might impair or
affect the rights or preferences of such holders, without the consent of a
majority of the holders of Preferred Stock. In addition, if the Company caused
an "Event of Default" in the payment of dividends to holders of Preferred
Stock, then the holders of a majority of the Preferred Stock had the right to
appoint a person to the Board of Directors until the "Event of Default" was
cured. The holders of Preferred Stock also were granted certain registration
rights. The registration rights enable them to demand registration under the
Securities Act of 1933 on the common stock issuable pursuant to conversion of
the Preferred Stock or to require that the Company include such common stock
in a registration statement filed by the Company.

In December, 1995, following the default of three consecutive quarterly
dividend payments on Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the preferred
stockholders appointed a member to the Company's Board of Directors. 
                                   
8.   Reorganization of Capital Structure:

On August 5, 1996, the Company's shareholders approved a reorganization of the
Company's capital structure.  The reorganization, which was effective on
August 12, 1996, consisted of the automatic conversion of each share of the
Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into thirteen shares of common
stock. Any and all accrued but unpaid dividends through the conversion date
were waived. In addition, the shareholders approved a one-for-six reverse
stock split effective immediately following the preferred stock conversion.
All fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the
next whole share.

Giving retroactive application of the reorganization to the year ended March
31, 1996, the loss per share would have been $1.18 on weighted average shares
outstanding of 1,468,157.

9.   Common Stock Options:

On August 10, 1995, the Company issued 200,000 Common Stock Options as
follows: 100,000 options to its current President and Chief Executive Officer
and 100,000 options to its current Chief Financial Officer. These options were
exercisable at $2.75 per share through August 10, 2005. 

On August 19, 1996, following a reorganization of the Company's capital
structure, which included a one-for-six reverse stock split, the Board of
Directors approved the repricing of 16,666 stock options held by the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer, and 16,666 stock options held by the
Company's Chief Financial Officer from $16.50 per share to $1.00 per share. 
In addition, at the same time, the Board issued 83,334, 83,334, and 100,000
stock options with an exercise price of $1.00 per share to the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of
the Board, respectively.  All of these stock options are presently
exercisable; provided, however, that the holders may not sell or otherwise
transfer any shares acquired upon exercise of the options until August 19,
1997.  As of the date of this report, none of the stock options have been
exercised.  The Company has agreed to register the shares issuable upon
exercise of the options by filing a registration statement on Form S-8 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The option exercise price equals the
fair market value of the underlying common stock on August 19, 1996.

                                
All stock options issued to employees have an exercise price not less than the
fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. In
accordance with accounting for such options utilizing the intrinsic value
method, there is no related compensation expense recorded in the Company's
financial statements for the years ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Had
compensation cost for stock-based compensation been determined based on the
fair value of the options at the grant dates consistent with the method of
SFAS 123, the Company's net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for
the year ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 would have been reduced (increased) to
the pro forma amounts presented below:

The fair value of option grants is estimated as of the date of grant utilizing
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions for grants in 1997 and 1996, expected life of options of two (2)
years, expected volatility of forty percent (40%), risk-free interest rate of
eight percent (8.0%), and a zero percent (0%) dividend yield. The weighted
average fair value at date of grant for options granted during 1997 and 1996
approximated $.03.

                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

10.  Restructuring:

Despite increasing revenues during the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, the
Company incurred significant operating losses and in response thereto, the
Board of Directors adopted a restructuring program in March, 1994. The
original program was intended to be accomplished over a period of several
years, and without any substantial charges as a result of the restructuring.
The goal of the program was to simplify operations and reduce operating costs
by closing RSIIP, which specialized in distributing clone Haworth and Herman
Miller parts; converting CUI from an operation that specialized in marketing
and remanufacturing Steelcase office furniture to a sales office concentrating
on marketing Haworth workstations remanufactured by RSI; and converting FOG
from an operation that specialized in marketing and remanufacturing Haworth
workstations to a sales office concentrating on marketing Haworth workstations
remanufactured by RSI. The Company did not anticipate any significant charges
would be incurred as a result of the program, since the only employees that
had mandatory severance packages were going to be retained, the inventory at
RSIIP, CUI, and FOG could be sold off over time at book value, the Company's
facilities with significant lease commitments would be retained and used after
the restructuring, and the entire process would unfold slowly and methodically
over several years. Subsequent factors, such as an opportunity to buy out the
lease on the RSIIP facility, continuing operating losses, decreases to the
Company's line of credit placing extreme pressure on the Company's cash flow
position, and unexpected resistance to the restructuring by key employees
forced the Company to modify and accelerate its original restructuring plan.
As a result of this acceleration and modification of the original
restructuring plan, the Company charged $1,434,029 to restructuring for the
year ended March 31, 1996, and $731,129 to restructuring for the year ended
March 31, 1995. The breakdown of charges is as follows:

ITEM 8.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On March 21, 1996, the Company, acting on the direction of its Board of
Directors, informed McGladrey & Pullen, LLP that it would be seeking
additional fee proposals for its March 31, 1996 audit, and on March 22, 1996,
McGladrey & Pullen, LLP notified the Company that the firm would not be
submitting a proposal.  Accordingly, on March 22, 1996, the client-auditor
relationship between the Company and McGladrey & Pullen, LLP ceased.

McGladrey & Pullen, LLP's reports on the Company's financial statements for
the years ended March 31, 1994 and 1995, did not contain an adverse opinion or
a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty,
audit scope, or accounting principles.  There were no disagreements with
McGladrey & Pullen, LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure in connection
with McGladrey & Pullen, LLP's issuance of their audit report in connection
with their audit of the Company's financial statements for the years ended
March 31, 1995 or 1994.

The only disagreement in connection with the Company's interim reports on Form
10-QSB filed subsequent to the Company's Form 10-KSB filing for the year ended
March 31, 1995, is discussed in the following paragraph.
                                   
During March, 1996, the Company requested that McGladrey & Pullen, LLP reissue
their report on the Company's 1995 and 1994 financial statements for inclusion
in a proxy statement for a special meeting of the Company's stockholders.  In
connection with this engagement, McGladrey & Pullen determined that the
Company had accrued dividends on its 9% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
in its last three 10-QSB filings.  McGladrey & Pullen, LLP advised the Company
that, inasmuch as such dividends had not been declared, in their opinion,
accrual of these dividends was not in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  The Company originally disagreed, but eventually
acquiesced and, on March 19, 1996, amended its Form 10-QSB filings for the
quarters ended June 30, 1995, September 30, 1995, and December 31, 1995.

On March 28, 1996, the Company selected Semple & Cooper, PLC as its new
independent accountants.
