             NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Unaudited)

                          February 28, 1997

NOTE 1 -  Basis of Presentation:

The balance sheet at the end of the preceding fiscal year has been derived
from the audited consolidated balance sheet contained in the Company's Form
10-KSB for the year ended August 31, 1996 (the "10-KSB") and is presented for
comparative purposes.  All other financial statements are unaudited.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments which include only normal recurring
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for all periods presented have been made.  The
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results for the full year.

Footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in
accordance with the published rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
10-KSB for the most recent fiscal year.

Loss per Share - Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the periods.  The effect of warrants outstanding
and shares issueable in connection with convertible debentures is not
included since it would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 2 -  Reorganization:

Prior to August 11, 1995, the effective date of its confirmed Plan of
Reorganization (the "Plan") pursuant to Chapter 11 proceedings under the
United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Code"), the Company operated under the
name of PNF Industries, Inc. ("PNF") and subsidiaries.

PNF was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on July 13, 1987.
Effective February 27, 1990, PNF acquired all the outstanding common stock of
Portafone Communications, Inc. ("Portafone") with its wholly owned
subsidiary, Unicell Corporation ("Unicell").  Portafone was engaged in the
business of selling, installing and renting cellular telephones.  Unicell was
licensed to act as a reseller of cellular services in New York and
Massachusetts.  The cellular phone business was discontinued during calendar
year 1993.

Effective August 6, 1991, PNF acquired 89% of the outstanding common stock of
both No Fire Engineering, Inc. and No Fire Ceramic Products, Inc. In a
transaction accounted for as a reverse acquisition.  Collectively, those two
companies developed, manufactured and sold fire retardant intumescent
products.  No Fire Engineering, Inc. was dissolved on March 14, 1997.

          NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         (Unaudited)

                         February 28, 1997


On August 31, 1994, involuntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the
Code were filed against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.  Under
the provisions of the Code, claims against the Company in existence prior to
the Petition Date were stayed.  The Company continued its business operations
and was managed by a Bankruptcy Trustee.  On April 7, 1995 the Bankruptcy
Court confirmed the Plan.  The Plan provided that virtually all pre-petition
claims of the Company would be paid in full over a four-year period.

On August 11, 1995, the effective date of the Plan, PNF emerged from Chapter
11 as a reorganized company under the name NoFire Technologies, Inc.  For
financial reporting purposes, the Company reported the effective date as of
August 31, 1995.

As of August 11, 1995, the Company adopted "fresh start reporting" and
implemented the effects of such adoption in its balance sheet as of August
31, 1995.


NOTE 3-   Fresh Start Reporting:

At August 31, 1995, under the principles of fresh start reporting, the
Company's total assets were recorded at their estimated reorganization value
of $1,750,000, with such value allocated to identifiable assets on the basis
of their estimated fair value.  The reorganization value included the patents
for intumescent fire retardant products which patents were valued at
$1,500,000.


NOTE 4 -  Management's Actions to Overcome Operating and Liquidity Problems:

The Company's financial statements have been presented on the going concern
basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company's viability as a
going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations
through increased sales and raising additional financing.

The Company has a liability for settled claims payable to creditors and
accrued expenses incurred in connection with the Plan.  Without the
achievement of profitable operations or additional financing, funds for
repayment would not be available.

               NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Unaudited)

                           February 28, 1997

Management believes that actions currently being undertaken to obtain
significant sales contracts will provide it with the opportunity to realize
profitable operations and to attract the necessary financing and/or capital
for the payment of outstanding obligations.


NOTE 5 - Warrants:

The Company has issued warrants for the purchase of common stock as follows:

                    Shares      Exercise Price
                    -------     --------------
                    990,000          $1.00

                     35,000           2.50
                     50,000           3.00

                 ----------
                  2,224,500

The warrants will vest to the holders in various intervals ranging from
issue date to three years from issuance.

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

GENERAL

The Company continued its product improvement and testing.  It now has
several certifications for specific applications and had filed for two
additional patents.  Continuing marketing efforts have brought the Company
closer to achieving significant sales for applications in such diverse
industries as high-speed ferries, nuclear generation plants, electric
utilities, low-cost manufactured homes, and automotive.  The Company believes
that important supply contracts will be obtained from one or more of these
areas within the next year permitting the Company to leave the development
stage.  The greatest obstacles to obtaining such contracts are the continuing
tests and approvals required and the high price of the product.  The
Company's most pressing need is a cash infusion as discussed below in the
section on Liquidity and Capital Resources.  The Company's product line has
been developed to the stage where it can be sold commercially in a form that
is safe, easy to use and performs its intended function well.  The Company
intends to continue its research and testing efforts to meet market
opportunities.  The number of manufacturing and quality control employees
will increase with increased production.  The salaried administrative and
marketing staff is anticipated to remain constant with additional sales and
marketing efforts provided by commissioned independent contractors.


COMPARISON SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1997 AND FEBRUARY 29, 1996

The Company remained a development stage company.  Sales of $27,583 for the
six months ended February 28, 1997 represented a decrease of 6% from the
$29,220 for the comparable six-month period of the prior year.  Cost of goods
sold during the same periods decreased 28% from $17,956 to $12,901 resulting
in a gross profit of $14,682 compared to $11,264 in the prior year.  Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the six-months ended February 28,
1997 were $731,026 representing a decrease of $7,828 or 1% from the $738,854
of the similar period of prior year.  Interest expense of $143,563 in the
current period was an increase of $24,925 or 21% from the $118,638 of the
similar period of the prior year.  The change is represented primarily by the
interest expense accrued on the convertible debentures issued in the prior
fiscal year.


COMPARISON THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1997 AND FEBRUARY 29, 1996

Sales of $5,470 for the three months ended February 28, 1997 represented a
decrease of 78% from the $24,930 for the comparable three-month period of the
prior year.  Cost of goods sold during the same periods decreased 84% from
$15,227 to $2,461 resulting in a gross profit of $3,009 compared to $9,703 in
the prior year.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended February 28, 1997 were $359,553 representing an increase of
$19,530 or 6% from the $340,023 of the similar period of the prior year.

Ongoing expenses were the same in each year with the difference represented
by a one-time financial public relations consulting fee of $17,856 in the
latter quarter.  Interest expense of $73,593 in the current period was an
increase of $13,798 or 23% from the $59,795 of the similar period of the
prior year.  The change is represented primarily by the interest expense
accrued on the convertible debentures issued in the prior fiscal year.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At February 28, 1997 the Company had cash balances of $1,150.  In order to
fund continuing operations during the six months ended on that date, $640,000
was obtained by the private sales of unregistered common stock with warrants
to several accredited investors.  Because of limited cash resources, the
Company has deferred payment of $282,544 of the second installment of the
Chapter 11 liability to unsecured creditors that was due in late September
1996.  In order to meet that liability and meet working capital needs until
significant sales levels are achieved, the Company will continue to explore
alternative sources of funding including exercise of warrants, bank and other
borrowings, issuance of convertible debentures and the sale of equity
securities in a public or private offering.  From March 1 to March 31, 1997,
an additional $75,000 was obtained in private sales of unregistered common
stock with warrants to accredited investors.
