5.  SALE OF KOVER   

On January 30, 1998, the Company sold 100% of the common stock of Kover to MPK.
The selling price approximated the book value of Kover, accordingly no material
gain or loss is expected in 1998. Mr. Kubec was the president and chief
executive officer of Kover and a director of the Company. The Company received
aggregate consideration for the sale of Kover of $2.7 million, payable $1.2
million in cash at closing and the balance of $1.5 million in promissory notes.
The Company received two promissory notes, one for $960,000 from MPK (the "MPK
Note") and one for $540,000 from Kover (the "Kover Note"). The MPK Note is
payable interest only monthly at the rate of 8.25% per annum, with the principal
balance due at the end of five years. The Kover note is payable interest only
monthly at the rate of 8.25% per annum with the principal due at the end of
seven years. The MPK Note is guaranteed by Kover and the Kubecs and is secured
by a debt pledge of 100% of the capital stock of Kover. The Kover Note is
guaranteed by MPK. The MPK and Kover Notes are subordinate to $1.6 million in
financing received in January 1998 by MPK. The Kubec Guarantee is secured by a
pledge of 20,000 shares of common stock of the Company owned by the Kubecs. The
Company did not guarantee any of the buyers debt. The Company believes that the
buyer will be able to service the debt from the operations of Kover.

For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the net loss from Kover was ($2,948) with
the sale of Kover creating a gain of $17,050; both are reported as discontinued
operations.

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH MARCH 31, 1997

         REVENUES. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company had
revenues of $6,204,444 up 133% from $2,662,860 for the comparable period in
1997. The higher revenues for the current three month period was primarily due
to the inclusion of revenues from Incendere, which the Company acquired in
November 1997, SDSGA, which the Company acquired in September 1997 and SDSPA,
which the company acquired in November 1997.

         OPERATING COSTS. Consolidated operating costs amounted to $4,095,467 in
the three months ended March 31, 1998 period as compared to $1,920,952 for the
same period in 1997. The increase is primarily attributable to the inclusion of
LI, SDSGA, and SDSPA, which the Company acquired in the last half of 1997.

         ADMINISTRATIVE AND SELLING EXPENSES. Administrative and selling
expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 17% in the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from 22% for the same period for 1997 due to synergistic cost
savings in corporate overhead.

         OPERATING PROFIT. The Company recorded an operating profit of $902,988
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $130,781 in the
comparable 1997 period. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion
of net revenue from SDSVA, SDSGA, and SDSPA.

         OTHER, NET. Other, net increased to an expense of ($359,503) in the
three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to expense of ($60,834) for the
same period in 1997 primarily due to the interest expense on the term loan used
in the purchase of Incendere.

         NET INCOME. Net income for the third quarter of 1998 rose to $575,587
or $.10 per primary share, compared to a net income of $69,947 from continuing
operations, or $.03 per primary share for the same period in 1997. The increase
was primarily attributable to the inclusion of net revenue from Incendere,
SDSGA, and SDSPA.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's working capital at March 31, 1998 amounted to $2,069,270
compared to $2,974,425 at December 31, 1997. During the three months ended March
31, 1998 cash decreased by $474,066 to $510,642. Operating activities used
$122,082 of cash, principally due to the increase in accounts receivable and
prepaid expenses. Investing activities used $494,623 in cash principally due to
the purchase of equipment; and Financing activities provided $101,525 of cash.

         The Company has an agreement with a bank, whereby the Company can
