                          Item 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Background of the Company

Between 1985 and 1990 the Company provided merchant banking
services for small businesses.  As compensation for these services
the Company received both cash and common stock in the companies. 
The Company distributed shares of stock in some of these companies
to its shareholders as dividends in kind.  The Company distributed
stocks in Import International, Inc., Olympus Technology
Corporation, Inc., Multiphonics Corporation, Dionne, Inc., Sun
Harbor Financial Resources, Inc., U.S. Environmental, SDI Holdings,
Inc. and Access HealthNet.

In October of 1990 the Company's Board of Directors decided
on a major change in the Company's business.  Due to the difficulty
of raising capital for its small business merchant banking clients,
the Company decided to change its business emphasis to that of
becoming a diversified company.  The merchant banking would be
combined on a smaller scale with more substantial companies.  The
Company's merchant banking experience would be primarily directed
to the acquisition of varied business for the Company.

In November 1990, the Company acquired all of the capital
stock of ADC Industries Corporation, Inc. ("ADC"), a precision
product machining house specializing in the custom manufacture of
storage tank valves.  The acquisition of ADC was accounted for as
a pooling of interest.  On September 30, 1993, ADC ceased
operations.  The Company sold its interests in ADC and on November
29, 1993 ADC filed for liquidation under Chapter 7 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code. 

In September of 1991 the Company acquired all of the
outstanding stock of Xenogenex, Inc. ("Xenogenex"), formerly known
as Ascot Close Research Institute, Ltd.  At that time Xenogenex was
funding research on xenogeneic transplants with a major West Coast
medical center.   Xenogenex had the rights to the commercial
development of the research work.  

In 1992, the Company acquired the rights to a hydraulic
control technology with primary applications to computer control of
hydraulic machine tools and to the control of helicopter rotor
blades.  The machine control is marketed under the name "Navigator
360"; the rotor control, in the early conceptual stage, is named
the "Smart Head".  In 1992, the Navigator 360 technology was sold
to a company of which Malcolm D. Campbell is an officer.  

On February 24, 1992 Exten purchased all rights to the
technology for an innovative helicopter flight control system from
the inventors.  The concept, which involves loop hydraulic control
of blade pitch, is known as the "Smart Head".

On May 19, 1992 Exten entered into a joint venture agreement
with Navmatic Corporation for development of the Smart Head. 
Navmatic Corporation, which manufactures an unique electronic and
mechanical interface for computer numerical control of hydraulic
machine tools, and which employs the Smart Head inventors as
consultants, has the technical ability and the business posture to
pursue development of the concept.  The Company has no plans to
develop this technology. Under the joint venture agreement, a
mechanical model to demonstrate the feasibility of the basic
hydraulic control mechanisms proposed has been constructed and
successfully operated.  

In 1993, the Company divested itself of ADC Industries, Inc.,
leaving development of the synthetic bio-liver ("SYBIOL") through
its subsidiary Xenogenex, Inc. as the Company's only proposed
business.



                 Item 1a.  FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

                                         
        An investment in the Common Stock of the Company involves a
high degree of risk.  In addition to the other information
contained in this Form 10-KSB, prospective investors should
carefully consider the following risk factors:

1. Significant and Repeated Losses.  During fiscal 1996, the
Company's most recent fiscal year, the Company's losses were
($950,222) compared to losses of ($3,580,087) in fiscal 1995.  In
addition, during fiscal 1992, 1993, and 1994 the Company lost
($880,844), ($1,355,531), and ($1,351,477) respectively.  The
Company faces all the risks inherent in a new business.  The
Company's Xenogenex subsidiary, is without any record of earnings
and sales.  There can be no assurance that any of the Company's
business activities will result in any operating revenues or
profits.  Investors should be aware that they may lose all or
substantially all of their investment. 

2. Qualified Opinion.  The Company's independent public accountants
issued a qualified opinion on the Company's financial statements
for the years ended November 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 with respect
to uncertainties concerning the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

3. Lack of Revenues.  The Company's only active business is the
research and development activities from which the Company
generates little or no stream of revenues and there can be no
assurance that the Company will ever generate any revenues in the
near future.  As a result, the Company may continue to incur losses
and any investor who purchases or acquires any shares of the
Company's Common Stock will likely incur further substantial
dilution and loss in the value of their investment.

4. Significant and Increasing Current Liabilities & Default.  As of
November 30, 1996, the Company had $994,361 in current debts and
other obligations that are due and payable on or before November
30, 1997.  Included in the amounts due by November 30, 1997 is
$343,072 in notes payable currently in default together with other
current liabilities.  Further, as of November 30, 1996, the Company
had over 38 times as many current liabilities as it had current
assets.  In the event that the Company is not able to generate
sufficient cash resources to pay these and other current
liabilities on or before their due date, the Company will likely
incur substantial additional costs and expenses and otherwise risk
whatever claims creditors may assert against the Company in
connection with any default thereby.  This may result in an
investor losing all or substantially all of their investment.

5. Need for Additional Financing & Lack of Underwriting Commitment. 
The Company's management recognizes that the Company needs to
obtain additional external financing from the sale of the Company's
debt, common stock, or preferred stock in order to support the
Company and otherwise meet the Company's growing financial
obligations.  While the Company may attempt to obtain a commitment
from an underwriter for a private placement or public offering of
the Company's securities, there can be no guarantee that the
Company will be successful.  If the Company is not successful, the
Company may suffer additional and continuing financial difficulties
with consequent loss to any investor acquiring the Company's common
stock.

6. Negative Working Capital & Negative Cash Flow. As of November
30, 1996, the Company had Total Current Liabilities of $994,361 and
Total Current Assets of $25,579 with the result that the Company
had negative working capital of ($968,782) as Total Current
Liabilities exceeded Total Current Assets by that amount.  While 
the Company's management seeks additional financing for the Company
to complete its business plan, there can be no assurance that the
Company will obtain any additional financing or, if it is obtained,
that it can be obtained on terms reasonable in view of the
Company's current circumstances.  In addition, the Company has
experienced negative cash flow for the 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and
1996 fiscal years.  

7.  Potential Dilution.  Funding of the Company's proposed business
plan will result in substantial and on-going dilution of the
Company's existing stockholders.  During 1996, the Company issued
6,300,227 additional shares of its common stock in connection with
its operations while incurring continuing and ever-increasing
financial losses.  While there can be no guarantee that the Company
will be successful in raising additional capital, if the Company 
is successful in obtaining any additional capital, existing
stockholders will incur substantial dilution.

8. Default on Indebtedness.  The Company was in default on its
repayment of a certain loan totalling $343,072 (as of November 30,
1996) (the "Loan") with Union Bank and a former officer of the
Company, Robert H. Goldsmith, asserts that the Company has
defaulted on approximately $388,000 in promissory notes.  While
Union Bank has sued the Company and has aggressively sought
repayment of the Loan, together with interest, and fees due with
the result that Union Bank has obtained a judgement against the
Company, the Company's management has attempted, without success to
negotiate an acceptable payment program with Union Bank and there
is no guarantee that the Company will be able to pay the monies
required to settle this matter.  In addition, the Company had over
$994,361 in liabilities all due and payable on or before November
30, 1997.  In the event that the Company is not able to generate
additional cash from the sale of the Company's securities or
otherwise obtain funds on some other basis, the Company will remain
in default on its obligations and likely default on obligations to
other creditors with the result that any investor in the Company's
common stock will lose all or substantially all of their
investment.

9. Government Regulation and Product Approvals.  The Company's
research, testing, preclinical development, clinical trials,
manufacturing, and marketing of its proposed therapeutic products
is subject to extensive and ever-changing regulation by numerous
governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. 
Clinical trials, manufacturing, and marketing of products in the
U.S. will be subject to the rigorous testing and approval processes
of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") and by
comparable regulatory authorities in foreign countries.  The
testing and regulatory approval process will likely take several
years and require the expenditure of substantial resources.  Any
testing of the Company's proposed products may not support the
safety and efficacy of the Company's products.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will gain any regulatory approvals for
the Company's proposed products or, if such approvals are obtained,
that such approvals may be limited and far narrower than those
sought by the Company.  To the extent that the above information
describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and
regulatory provisions currently in effect.  Any change in
applicable law or regulation may have a material effect on the
business and prospect of the Company.

10. Lack of Independent Evaluation of Technology & Commercial
Viability.  The Company's current management does not possess any
studies performed by an independent third party which demonstrate
that the synthetic bio-liver technology has ever been rigorously
evaluated.  There can be no assurance that this technology offers
safe, efficacious, and cost-effective therapeutic attributes
relative to those provided by competing technologies or, if it
does, that the technology is commercially viable.

11. Costs of Litigation.  The Company is involved in a fee dispute
in connection with a law firm that previously represented the
Company.  While the Company seeks to resolve this dispute on terms
favorable to the Company, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful or that the costs incurred will not
exceed any benefits that the Company may derive from this
litigation. 

12. Limited Management.  The Company currently has only one full
time officer and one full-time employee. The Company's limited cash
flow and financial resources do not allow the Company to increase
or add to the Company's full time management and there can be no
guarantee that the Company's cash flow and financial resources will
increase in the near future.  As a result, the Company continues to
rely upon consultants and others for a large part of its operations
and the research and development work.

13. Lack of Dividends.  The Company has never paid any cash
dividends on its common stock.  The Company's board of directors
intends to retain profits, if any, to finance the Company's
business.

14. Limited Market for Common Stock.  The Company's Common Stock,
traded on the Electronic Bulletin Board (OTC), has experienced
significant price fluctuations and will likely remain highly
volatile in the future.  There can be no assurance that a
meaningful trading market for the Company's Common Stock will be
established, or, if established, that it can be maintained for any
significant period.

15. Valuations & Prior Asset Acquisitions. The Company's current
management has determined that the values accorded certain assets
acquired in prior years be revalued to reflect lower carrying
values in light of current market circumstances.  While management
believes that current carrying values for these assets more
accurately reflect likely recovery values, there can be no
assurance that the Company will not later revalue the Company's
assets further.

16.  Possible Rule 144 Stock Sales.  As of November 30, 1996, the
Company had a substantial amount of shares of the Company's
outstanding Common Stock as "restricted securities" which may be
sold only in compliance with Rule 144 adopted under the Securities
Act of 1933 or other applicable exemptions from registration.  Rule
144 provides that a person holding restricted securities for a
period of one year may thereafter sell in brokerage transactions,
an amount not exceeding in any three month period the greater of
either (i) 1% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, or (ii)
the average weekly trading volume during a period of four calendar
weeks immediately preceding any sale.  Persons who are not
affiliated with the Company and who have held their restricted
securities for at least three years are not subject to the volume
limitation.  Possible or actual sales of the  Company's Common
Stock by present shareholders under Rule 144 may have a depressive
effect on the price of the Company's Common Stock if any liquid
trading market develops.

17. Possible Stock Sales - Regulation S & Form S-8 Registration
Statement.  The Company has periodically issued shares to non-U.S.
citizens under Regulation S.  In addition, the Company has utilized
the services of consultants and, in this connection, the Company
has issued shares of the Company's Common Stock and registered
these shares for sale on Form S-8.  The shares issued under
Regulation S become freely-tradeable 41 days after issuance.  The
shares registered on Form S-8 are immediately freely-tradeable.  As
a result, the Company's issuance of shares pursuant to Regulation
S and Form S-8 likely depresses the market price of the Company's
Common Stock.  While the Company's management intends to carefully
evaluate the need to issue shares of the Company's Common Stock on
this basis, the Company's meager financial resources will likely 
prevent the Company from limiting its use of Regulation S and Form
S-8, with the result that the market price of Company's Common
Stock will likely be depressed by the registration and sale of
shares on an on-going basis.

18. Risks of Low Priced Stocks.  Trading in the Company's Common
Stock is limited.  Consequently, a shareholder may find it more
difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the
price of, the Company's securities.  In the absence of a security
being quoted on NASDAQ, or the Company having $2,000,000 in net
tangible assets, trading in the Common Stock is covered by Rule
3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for
non-NASDAQ and non-exchange listed securities. 

        Under such rules, broker/dealers who recommend such
securities to persons other than established customers and
accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess
of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000
or an annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with
their spouse) must make a special written suitability determination
for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to
a transaction prior to sale. Securities are also exempt from this
rule if the market price is at least $5.00 per share, or for
warrants, if the warrants have an exercise price of at least $5.00
per share.  The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act
of 1990 requires additional disclosure related to the market for
penny stocks and for trades in any stock defined as a penny stock. 

        The Commission has recently adopted regulations under such
Act which define a penny stock to be any NASDAQ or non-NASDAQ
equity security that has a market price or exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share and allow for the enforcement against
violators of the proposed rules.  

        In addition, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule prepared by the Commission explaining important concepts
involving a penny stock market, the nature of such market, terms
used in such market, the broker/dealer's duties to the customer, a
toll-free telephone number for inquiries about the broker/dealer's
disciplinary history, and the customer's rights and remedies in
case of fraud or abuse in the sale.  

        Disclosure also must be made about commissions payable to
both the broker/dealer and the registered representative, current
quotations for the securities, and, if the broker/dealer is the
sole market-maker, the broker/dealer must disclose this fact and
its control over the market.

        Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price
information for the penny stock held in the account and information
on the limited market in penny stocks.  While many NASDAQ stocks
are covered by the proposed definition of penny stock, transactions
in NASDAQ stock are exempt from all but the sole market-maker
provision for (i) issuers who have $2,000,000 in tangible assets
($5,000,000 if the issuer has not been in continuous operation for
three years), (ii) transactions in which the customer is an
institutional accredited investor and (iii) transactions that are
not recommended by the broker/dealer.  In addition, transactions in
a NASDAQ security directly with the NASDAQ market-maker for such
securities, are subject only to the sole market-maker disclosure,
and the disclosure with regard to commissions to be paid to the
broker/dealer and the registered representatives.

        Finally, all NASDAQ securities are exempt if NASDAQ raised
its requirements for continued listing so that any issuer with less
than $2,000,000 in net tangible assets or stockholder's equity
would be subject to delisting.  These criteria are more stringent
than the proposed increase in NASDAQ's maintenance requirements. 
The Company's securities are subject to the above rules on penny
stocks and the market liquidity for the Company's securities could
be severely affected by limiting the ability of broker/dealers to
sell the Company's securities.

Business of Exten

        As of November 30, 1996, the Company's only active business
is the proposed research and development activities of SYBIOL
Technology.

Xenogenex, Inc.

Business of Xenogenex, Inc.

        Xenogenex, Inc. ("Xenogenex") was incorporated in California
on July 30, 1991 for the purpose of funding biotech research.  On
September 11, 1991 the Company signed a research contract with
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.  The
research contract was for the genetic manipulation of human to pig
target antigens and xenogeneic transplants.  Xenogeneic transplants
involve the use of donor organs from species other than humans. 
The major objective of the research was to discover a way to
transplant organs (heart, liver, lung and kidney) from a pig into
a human.

        In March of 1993 Xenogenex received all the rights to a
synthetic bio-liver ("SYBIOL") developed for Xenogenex under
contract with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.  A patent application is
presently pending on the process utilized by the SYBIOL device and
the Company has applied for trademark protection for the SYBIOL
tradename.  In July 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets of
Xenogenex; and, as as result, as of November 30, 1996, the Company
owned all assets of Xenogenex.

        On August 31, 1995, the Company entered into a license
agreement (the "GMI License") with GroupMed International, Inc.
("GMI").  Under the terms of the GMI License, the Company granted
GMI the exclusive right and license to manufacture, market, and
sell the technology and patents held by Xenogenex in Mexico,
Central America, and South America.  Subsequently, the Company
terminated the GMI License due to lack of consideration.

        In addition to the other information contained in this Form
10-KSB, prospective investors should carefully consider the
following risk factors:

1. Patents and Proprietary Technology.  Any proprietary protection
that the Company can obtain and maintain will be important to its
proposed business.  The Company has exchanged its U.S. patent
application for a P.C.T. filing and has filed a patent application
in China.  The patent positions of bio-pharmaceutical and
biotechnology firms, as well as academic and other research
institutions, are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual
questions.  Accordingly, no firm predictions can be made regarding
the bio-pharmaceutical and biotechnology patents or whether the
Company will have the financial resources to aggressively protect
its rights.

2. Intense Competition.  Competition from other biotechnology and
pharmaceutical companies and from research and academic
institutions is intense and is expected to increase.  Competitors
or potential competitors of the Company have filed applications
for, or have been issued, certain patents, and may obtain
additional patents and proprietary rights, relating to technologies
competitive with those of the Company.  Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that the Company's patent applications will result in
patents being issued or that, if issued, such patents will provide
protection against competitive technology that circumvents such
patents or will be held valid by a court of competent jurisdiction;
nor can there be any assurance that others will not obtain patents
that the Company would need to license or circumvent.  Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that licenses that might be required for
the Company's processes or products would be available on
reasonable terms, if at all.  The Company also intends to rely upon
unpatented trade secrets, know-how and continuing technological
innovation to develop and maintain its competitive position.  No
assurance can be given that others will not independently develop
substantially equivalent proprietary information and technology, or
otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or disclose
such technology, or that the Company can meaningfully protect its
rights to its unpatented trade secrets.

3. Government Regulation.  The Company's present and proposed
activities are subject to regulation by numerous governmental
authorities in the United States and other countries.  To the
extent that the following information describes statutory or
regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions currently in
effect.  Any change in applicable law or regulation may have a
material effect on the business and prospects of the Company.

4. Therapeutic Products.  The Company's products will be subject to
regulation in the U.S. by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")
and by comparable regulatory authorities in foreign jurisdictions. 
The products produced will be classified as "biologics" regulated
under the Public Health Service Act and the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act.  Development of a therapeutic product for human use
is a multi-step process.  First, animal or in vitro testing must
establish the potential safety and efficacy of the experimental
product in a given disease.  Once the product has been found to be
reasonably safe and potentially efficacious in animals, suggesting
that human testing would be appropriate, an Investigational New
Drug ("IND") application is submitted to the FDA.  FDA approval is
necessary before commencing clinical investigations.  That approval
may, in some circumstances, involve substantial delays.

        Clinical investigations typically involve three phases. 
Phase I is conducted to evaluate the safety of the experimental
product in humans, and if possible, to gain early evidence of
effectiveness.  Phase I studies also evaluate various routes,
dosages and schedules of product administration.  The demonstration
of therapeutic benefit is not required in order to complete Phase
I successfully.  If acceptable product safety is demonstrated, the
Phase II studies are initiated.  The Phase II trials are designed
to evaluate the effectiveness of the product in the treatment of 
a given disease and, typically, are well-controlled, closely
monitored studies in a relatively small number of patients.  

        The optimal routes and schedules of administration are
determined in these studies.  As Phase II trials are successfully
completed, Phase III studies will be commenced.  Phase III studies
are expanded, controlled and uncontrolled trials which are intended
to gather additional information about safety and efficacy in order
to evaluate the overall risk/benefit relationship of the
experimental product and provide an adequate basis for physician
labeling.  These studies also may compare the safety and efficacy
of the experimental device with currently available products.  It
is not possible to estimate the time in which Phase I, II and III
studies will be completed with respect to a given product, although
the time period is often as long as several years.

        Following the successful completion of these clinical
investigations, the preclinical and clinical evidence that has been
accumulated is submitted to the FDA as part of a product license
application ("PLA").  Approval of the PLA or IND is necessary
before a company may market the product.  The approval process can
be very lengthy and depends upon the time it takes to review the
submitted data and the FDA's comments on the application and the
time required to provide satisfactory answers or additional
clinical data when requested.

        In addition to the regulatory framework for product
approvals, the Company is and may be subject to regulation under
state and federal law, including requirements regarding
occupational safety, laboratory practices, the use, handling and
disposition of radioactive materials, environmental protection and
hazardous substance control, and may be subject to other present
and possible future local state, federal and foreign regulation, 
including future regulation of the biotechnology field.


Agreements for SYBIOL Development


  St. Louis University Health Sciences Center

        The Company, through its Xenogenex subsidiary, entered into
a sponsored research agreement with the St. Louis University Health
Sciences Center to direct and document the research and development
of its synthetic bio-liver, SYBIOL, into a clinical system. 

        Dr. Li was the Director of the Surgical Research Institute
at St. Louis University and an internationally renowned expert in
liver cell biology, toxicology and drug metabolism.  Prior to
joining SLU, he headed the Liver Biology Department at Monsanto
Company in St. Louis.  Dr. Li also served as Chief Scientific
Officer of Xenogenex.  St. Louis University Health Sciences Center
is known for its excellence in providing medical care and medical
research, especially in organ transplantation and artificial
internal organ research.  The medical center is one of the few
institutions with a research institute dedicated to surgical
research. 

        On November 30, 1995, the Company terminated its agreement
with the St. Louis University Health Sciences Center (the "Center")
and Dr. Albert Li and currently the Company is seeking the return
of all documents and laboratory equipment.  During the period of
the sponsored research agreement, the Company spent approximately
$452,000 on research and laboratory equipment.  The Company has
continued with its dialogue with the Center and has not furthered
the Company's progress in obtaining the return of documents and
laboratory equipment held by the Center.  Therefore, the Company
has written down the equipment held at the Center to a net value of
$0.

China Joint Venture

        The Company and a Hong Kong business group formed a Hong Kong
corporation, TECA International, Ltd. ("TECA") under a joint
venture agreement.  TECA, which at the time was 40% owned by the
Company, was required to provide funding for the next five years. 
TECA was licensed to produce and sell Xenogenex's synthetic bio-
liver in Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.

        TECA has arranged, through a joint venture, for the
manufacturing and distribution SYBIOL in China. A SYBIOL unit has
been shipped to Number 301 Military Hospital in Beijing, China. 
The Company is not able to predict whether the venture in China
will generate any revenues for the Company or whether it will be 
commercially viable.  And although the Company believes the
incidence of liver disease in Asia is far greater than in the
United States, the Company has not conducted or received any third
party research or evaluation of this market and there can be no
assurance that the Company will gain any commercially profitable
opportunities at any time in the near future.

        Prior to the close of the 1996 fiscal year and after
discussions with counsel, the Company and TECA determined that the
viability of the project and the realization of any further studies
and efforts were going to be minimal with respect to the SYBIOL
technology and has written off the equity in the joint venture and
the costs and other associated expenditures with TECA in the amount
of $133,670.

Competition

        The Company is engaged in businesses characterized by
extensive research efforts, rapid technological change, and intense
competition.  Competition can be expected to increase as
technological advances are made and commercial applications
broaden.  The industries in which the Company seeks to compete are
characterized by substantial competition involving biotechnology
and major bio-pharmaceutical, chemical and biological testing
companies.  Many of the Company's existing and potential
competitors have substantially greater financial, research and
development, clinical, regulatory, marketing and production
resources than those of the Company and may be better equipped than
the Company to develop, manufacture and market competitive
therapeutic products or testing services.  These companies may
develop and introduce products and services competitive with,
superior to, or less costly than those of the Company, thereby
rendering some of the Company's technologies and products and
services under development less competitive or obsolete. 

Employees

        Exten.  As of May 29, 1997, Exten had no employees.  The
Company is managed by its officers and directors.

        Xenogenex.  As of May 29, 1997, Xenogenex had no employees. 
 The Company is managed by its officers and directors. 

        General.  All of the above companies consider their relations
with their employees to be excellent and none are subject to any
union contracts.

                         Item 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Exten   

        Lease.  Exten leases approximately 1,700 square feet of
space, at $500 per month, in a modern office building.  Exten's
lease ends on August 31, 1997.

        Arizona.  On February 28, 1992 the Company exchanged 170,000
shares of common stock and 170 shares of preferred stock,
convertible into 170,000 shares of common stock, for real estate in
Arizona comprised of 240 undeveloped lots approximately 70 miles
south of the Grand Canyon.  This property is pledged to secure a 
$250,000 loan to Xenogenex, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company.  In
1994 the Company sold four of these lots to pay property taxes.  As
a result and as of November 30, 1996, the Company owned 236 of
these lots.  


        The Company is seeking to sell the Arizona property as part
of an agreement with its creditors.  However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will successfully settle its creditors'
claims or, if it is successful, that any settlement will be
achieved on terms that are reasonable in light of the Company's
current circumstances.

Xenogenex

       During the fiscal year ending November 30, 1996, Xenogenex was
provided offices and clerical services by its parent, Exten and did
not have separate offices.

       On July 15, 1996, the Company acquired all of the assets of
Xenogenex, Inc. in exchange for the Company's assumption of certain
of the outstanding debt of Xenogenex.

Results of Operations 
   
Fiscal 1996 versus Fiscal 1995

             During the year ended November 30, 1996 ("Fiscal 1996")
the Company recorded total revenues of $0 compared to $6,654 in
revenues earned during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1995
("Fiscal 1995").   Fiscal 1995's revenues were composed of $96 in
royalties, $5,388 in rents in rental revenues from real estate, and
$1,170 in sales revenue.

             During Fiscal 1996, the Company incurred $386,292 in
Consulting Fees which were incurred primarily due to the Company's
continued use and reliance on professional services from outside
the Company.
   
             In Fiscal 1996, the Company also incurred $390,561 in
General and Administrative Expenses.  This decreased by nearly 63%
from Fiscal 1995's level of $1,044,403 primarily due to decreased
administrative staff and consulting expenses.

             Fiscal 1996 research and development costs declined to $0
from $169,658 in Fiscal 1995 while depreciation and amortization
expenses were $16,326 in Fiscal 1996 compared to $21,064 in Fiscal
1995.  The decline in research and development costs during Fiscal
1996 reflected the Company's limited financial resources.

             As a result, Total Operating Expenses in Fiscal 1996 were
$793,179 compared to Total Operating Expenses of $1,844,704 in
Fiscal 1995.  This resulted in the Company recording a Loss from
Operations of ($793,179) in Fiscal 1996 compared to a Loss from
Operations of ($1,838,050) in Fiscal 1995.

             For Fiscal 1996, the Company recorded  interest expense

1996, the Company also recorded $110,288 in losses on disposition
of assets compared to $214,167 in losses recorded upon disposition
of assets during Fiscal 1995.  The Company also recorded a $60,000
loss on the recission of a technology license to GroupMed
International in Fiscal 1996 after previously recording a $60,000
asset in connection with the sale of the license to them in Fiscal
1995.  The Company also wrote off its investment in TECA with a
$133,670 charge to operations.  The Company's Fiscal 1996
operations were greatly impacted by certain Other Income and
Expenses.  In Fiscal 1996, the Company recorded an extraordinary
gain of $147,188 in connection with the re-negotiation of certain
indebtedness.  This compares to $49,348 in extraordinary gains
recognized in Fiscal 1995 resulting from similar re-negotiations
and reductions of certain indebtedness. 

             As a result, the Company recorded a Net Loss of
($950,222) in Fiscal 1996 compared to a Net Loss of ($3,580,087) in
Fiscal 1995, a decrease of nearly 74%. Fiscal 1996 Losses Per
Common Share (computed with Common Stock Equivalents and fully
diluted) were ($0.03) compared to ($0.23) for the same period
during Fiscal 1995.

Fiscal 1995 versus Fiscal 1994

             During the year ended November 30, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995")
the Company recorded total revenues of $6,654 primarily from rental
revenues on certain real estate compared to $90,594 in revenues
earned during the fiscal year ended November 30, 1994 ("Fiscal
1994").   Fiscal 1994's revenues were composed of $63,483 in
royalties, $25,123 in rents in rental revenues from real estate,
and $1,988 in sales revenue.

             During Fiscal 1995, the Company incurred $609,579 in
Consulting Fees which were incurred primarily due to the Company's
continued use and reliance on professional services from outside
the Company.
   
             In Fiscal 1995, the Company also incurred $1,044,403 in
General and Administrative Expenses.  This increased by nearly 59%
in Fiscal 1994's level of $656,628 primarily due to increased
administrative and consulting expenses.

             Fiscal 1995 research and development costs increased by
nearly 21% from $140,755 in Fiscal 1994 to $169,658 while
depreciation and amortization expenses were $21,064 in Fiscal 1995
compared to $22,596 in Fiscal 1994.  The decline in research and
development costs during Fiscal 1995 reflected the Company's
limited financial resources.

             As a result, Total Operating Expenses in Fiscal 1995 were
$1,844,704 compared to Total Operating Expenses of $1,403,671 in
Fiscal 1994.  This resulted in the Company recording a Loss from
Operations of ($1,838,050) in Fiscal 1995 compared to a Loss from
Operations of ($1,313,077) in Fiscal 1994.

             For Fiscal 1995, the Company recorded an extraordinary
gain of $49,348 in connection with a liquidation of certain
indebtedness compared to a similar extraordinary gain of $83,027 in
Fiscal 1994.   Interest Expense declined by over 33% from $33,798
in Fiscal 1994 to $22,438 in Fiscal 1995.

             The Company's Fiscal 1995 operations were greatly
impacted by certain Other Income and Expenses.  In Fiscal 1995, the
Company's management re-evaluated the carrying value of the
Company's real estate in Arizona given declining market trends in
the market area and changing land use in surrounding real estate
market adjoining the real estate parcels held by the Company.  The
Company plans to sell the Arizona real estate in connection with a
contemplated settlement agreement with the Company's creditors.  
On this basis, the Company reduced the carrying value of the real
estate from $1,654,000 to $47,200.

             In addition, the Company reduced the carrying value of
certain shares of GroupMed International, Inc. ("GMI") it received
from GMI to reflect the limited liquidity and the current market
value of the GMI stock it received in payment under a licensing
agreement with GMI.  

             The Company also determined that the wrap notes and
associated equity purchased during 1992 have an undeterminable
value.  The Company established a valuation allowance of $356,741
for the entire amounts relative to the wrap notes receivable and
payable balances associated with the wrap notes in the amount of 
$356,741 for the year ended November 30, 1995.  This increase for
reserves of $356,741 has been reflected within general and
administrative expenses for Fiscal 1995.

             The Company also reduced the carrying value of its prior
investment in helicopter control technology from $187,500 at the
close of Fiscal 1994 to $0 at the close of Fiscal 1995.  The
Company has no plans to develop this technology.   The Company also
reduced the value of a timeshare investment from $9,000 at the
close of Fiscal 1994 to $0 at the close of Fiscal 1995.

             As a result of these re-evaluations of the carrying value
of the Company's investments, the Company recorded an aggregate
Loss on Disposition and Impairment of Assets of $1,820,967 during
Fiscal 1995 compared to a Loss on Disposition of Assets of $63,359
in Fiscal 1994.  The Company also recorded a $60,000 gain from the
sale of the License to GMI.

             Other Income and Expenses resulted in the Company
recording $1,791,385 in Total Other Expenses (net of other income)
in Fiscal 1995 from Fiscal 1994's Total Other Expenses (net of
other income) of $37,600.

             As a result, the Company recorded a Net Loss of
$3,580,087 in Fiscal 1995 or an increase of nearly 165% from the
Net Loss of $1,351,477 recorded during Fiscal 1994. Fiscal 1995
Loss Per Common Share (computed with Common Stock Equivalents and
fully diluted) was ($0.23) compared to ($0.23) for the same period
during Fiscal 1994.
   
Liquidity and Capital Resources - the Company

             Several steps have been taken by the Company to reduce
its liabilities, reduce cash requirements, and raise capital.   The
Company has been negotiating with the bank and its vendor creditors
to settle its liabilities.  Exten is also negotiating with
investment bankers for raising of additional capital.   The Company
is also considering a merger with other entities.   No assurances
can be given that any such activity will prove successful.

             During Fiscal 1996, the Company took steps to control
expenses and to reduce and re-negotiate outstanding indebtedness,
particularly debts to a former officer, Robert H. Goldsmith, Union
Bank, and over $100,000 in taxes owed to the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service.

             The Company has also continued to pay salaries,
consulting fees, and in some cases, legal fees through the issuance
of the Company's Common Stock with the subsequent registration of
the shares so issued on Form S-8. The Company has been forced to
take these steps to conserve the Company's cash and liquid
resources.

Xenogenex, Inc.

             Xenogenex is in the development stage and produces no
revenue.  However, Xenogenex incurred consulting and administrative
costs in the last fiscal year.  The SYBIOLTM artificial liver
technology will require substantial additional capital to continue
development of the synthetic bio-liver.

there was a change of accountants and on February 9, 1997 the
Company changed its accountants from Harland & Boettger to J.H.
Cohn LLP, as its independent auditors.  During this period, there
has been no reported disagreement with accountants on any matter 
of accounting principles or practices or financial statement
disclosure.

restatement.

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

In our opinion, the 1996 consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Exten Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary as of November
30, 1996, and their results of operations and cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

We also audited the adjustments described in Note 11 that were
applied to restate the 1995 consolidated financial statements.  In
our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been
properly applied.

The accompanying 1996 consolidated financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company is in default on certain loan agreements,
has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows and
resultant decreases in working capital.  These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are
also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. 
The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
reported asset amounts or the amounts and classification of
liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 - Business and summary of significant accounting policies:

Business                                                          

Exten Industries, Inc. was incorporated on December 1, 1970 in the
State of Delaware.  Currently, the Company's only business is the
development of synthetic liver technology ("SYBIOL") by its
subsidiary, Xenogenex, Inc. ("Xenogenex"), which was incorporated
on July 30, 1991 in the State of California for the purpose
of funding biotechnology research.  In March 1993, Xenogenex
received all of the rights to the SYBIOL technology developed for
Xenogenex under contract with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.  A
patent application is currently pending on the process          
utilized by the SYBIOL device and the Company has applied for
trademark protection for the SYBIOL trade name.
     
Basis of Consolidation
     
The consolidated financial statements includes the accounts of
Exten Industries, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xenogenex,
Inc. (together the "Company")  All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  
                  
Use of Estimates
     
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts
and disclosures.  Accordingly, actual results may differ from those
estimates.
     
Real Estate
     
Real estate held for sale has been considered impaired due to the
Company's inability to fully recover the original carrying value of
the asset.  The basis of property has been reduced to the amount
management expects to recover from the ultimate sale of the real
estate.                                                           
                                    
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of LongLived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be
Disposed of, " ("SFAS 121") which requires that long-lived assets
and certain intangible assets be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  SFAS 121 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  Management 
believes that the adoption of SFAS 121 will not have a material
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     
     
     Note 1 - Business and summary of significant accounting
policies (concluded):
 
Income Taxes
     
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and
liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and
liabilities to be computed annually for temporary differences                 
between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in
future periods based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the
periods in which the temporary differences are expected to affect
taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to
be realized.  The income tax provision or credit is the tax payable
or refundable for the period plus or minus     the change during
the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
     
Net income (loss) per common share
     
Net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted
average number of outstanding common shares.  Common stock
equivalents, consisting of stock options outstanding, have not                 
been considered because the impact of such options is antidilutive. 
                                                                  
                             
Reclassifications
     
Certain balances in the 1995 consolidated financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.
     
Note 2 - Going concern matters:
     
For the years ended November 30, 1996 and 1995, the Company
incurred net losses of $950,222 and $3,580,087, respectively.  The
Company's accumulated deficit and stockholders' deficiency at
November 30, 1996 were $9,983,986 and $886,368, respectively.  In
addition, at November 30, 1996, the Company's current liabilities
exceeded its current assets by $968,782.  Additionally, even though
the Company has been able to satisfy certain operating expenses by
issuing shares of the Company's common stock, operating activities
have still resulted in negative cash flows aggregating $176,398 and
$287,680 for the years ended November 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Furthermore, judgements and claims against the
Company relating to loan guarantees, claims of a former president
of the Company, and amounts owed current and former suppliers
continue to accumulate.  These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     
     
Note 2 - Going concern matters (concluded):  
     
In order to continue as a going concern, management's plans include
(1) raising additional capital through sales of common stock, the
proceeds of which would be used to perfect the Company's patent
position in its SYBIOL technology and satisfy immediate operating
needs; (2) continue to use common stock to pay for consulting and
professional services; (3) negotiate reduced settlements of
existing liabilities; and (4) sell non-productive assets.  In
addition, management is continually seeking other potential joint
venture partners or merger candidates that would allow                      
for the immediate recognition of the value of the SYBIOL technology
for creditors and stockholders.  However, management cannot provide
any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing
any of its plans.        
                                                             
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans
described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure                  
other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.  The
accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.

Note 5 - Equity in loss of partnership:
     
During January 1995, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common
stock valued at $62,500 ($.13 per share) for an 18.6% interest in
a joint venture (TECA) to manufacture, market and sell the
Xenogenex technology in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.  The
Company had previously recorded a note receivable from TECA in
connection with an advance of $83,000 made during the year ended
November 30, 1994.  During the year ended November 30, 1996,
management determined that the investment in TECA was worthless
and, accordingly, the investment and the note receivable were
written off by a charge to operations in the amount of $133,670.

     Note 6 - Notes payable (concluded):
     
On October 29, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with a
former president of the Company to settle a previously existing
note payable with a balance due of $388,000, plus accrued interest
of $9,188, for a cash payment of $50,000, a new note for $150,000
and 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company at
a market price of $.05 per share (see Note 12).  As of November 30,
1996, the cash payment had not been made and is included in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet as an accrued expense.  In
connection with the settlement, the Company recorded a gain on
extinguishment of debt in the amount of $147,188 in 1996.

of real estate and other valuation items totaling more than 
$10,000,000. The net operating loss carryforwards, before any
limitations, expire on various dates through 2011. Due to
uncertainties concerning the ultimate utilization of the net
operating loss carryforwards and other matters, at November 30,
1996 the Company has recorded a valuation allowance to offset the
deferred tax assets.

     Note 8 - Stockholders' equity (deficiency) (concluded):
     
                   Stock options (concluded)
     
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," ("SFAS 123") which requires that companies provide 
information regarding the fair value of stock options granted.  The 
pronouncement is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995.  
Since the Company intends to adopt the disclosure only provisions of
SFAS 123, early application of that standard would not have had a material 
effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
     
     Note 9 - Commitments and contingencies:
     
                   Leases
     
The Company leases its office space under an operating lease renewable 
annually.  Rent expense was $5,736 and $11,834 for the years ended 
November 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
     
                   Litigation
     
The Company has been named as defendant in two legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business.  These proceedings are a result
of nonpayment of accounts and notes payable.  In the opinion of management, 
the outcome of such proceedings and litigation will not materially
affect the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial position.  
Based upon the opinion of legal counsel, all amounts represented in the 
legal proceedings and litigation have been reflected in accounts and 
notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of 
November 30, 1996.
     
     Note 10 - Buyout of minority interest:
             
In June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with the
minority stockholders of Xenogenex to exchange their shares of Xenogenex, 
Inc. for shares of Exten Industries, Inc.  As a result of this transaction,
the Company issued 581,587 shares of common stock and recorded goodwill in
the amount of $50,866 which is being amortized over 13 months.  The net    
carrying value of the goodwill at November 30, 1996 was $35,214.

     Note 11 - Prior period adjustments:
             
The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for 
the year ended November 30, 1995.  This action was taken to correct 
errors related to the minority stockholders' share of the subsidiary's 
accumulated deficit, the value of land held as an investment and the
improper capitalization of research and development costs.
     
Prior to the restatement of the 1995 consolidated financial statements, 
the Company recorded an  asset equal to the minority stockholders'
10% share of the subsidiary's accumulated deficit.  Since                
the minority stockholders were under no obligation to repay this amount, 
the restated 1995 consolidated financial statements reflect the write-
off of the minority interest in the amount of $99,149.
     
Prior to the restatement of the 1995 consolidated financial statements, 
the Company had written-down its investment in land by $1,300,000 
resulting in a recorded investment in land of $354,000.  
The estimated fair market value of the land was determined to 
be approximately $47,200. Consequently, the Company has recorded an
additional write-down in the value of the land in the amount of 
$306,800 which is included in the accompanying 1995 consolidated              
statement operations.
     
Prior to the restatement of the 1995 consolidated financial statements, 
the Company recorded fixed assets in the amount of $97,600 related to the
cost of self-constructed SYBIOL machines.   These machines are not 
used in the operations and are not subject to depreciation.  
The costs to develop and construct these machines are research
and development in nature.  As a result, the accompanying 1995 
consolidated statement of operations has been restated to include 
this amount as additional research and development costs.
     
     Note 12 - Subsequent events:
     
On March 7, 1997, the Company borrowed $125,000 from an unrelated 
party.  On March 18, 1997, this note was increased to $145,000 
by an additional borrowing of $20,000.  The terms of the note 
require monthly interest payments of approximately $1,000 beginning 
April 7, 1997.  Interest will be charged at the published prime rate
which was 8.25% at March 7, 1997.
     
On March 18, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank 
to settle a note payable in the amount of $333,000.  As described 
in Note 6, the Company is in default on the note and the bank has 
received a judgement for the full amount of the note plus fees of 
$35,000 associated with the collection of the note.  As stipulated by
the agreement, the Company has made a cash payment in the amount of $50,000 
in full settlement of the note and fees.

Note 12 - Subsequent events (concluded)
     
As described in Note 6, the Company entered into an agreement with a 
former president of the Company to settle a previously existing 
note in the amount of $388,000.  As part of that settlement, the Company 
had agreed to a cash payment of $50,000 which was never  made.  On March 6, 
1997, the Company settled that $50,000 obligation by issuing an additional 
1,000,000 shares of stock with a market value of $.05 per share to 
the former president of the Company.
