PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Milastar Corporation ("Milastar" and sometimes the "Company") is
primarily involved in selling special metallurgical and secondary
metal processing services to durable goods manufacturers in the
greater Midwest industrial market.
Milastar owns four wholly-owned subsidiaries; Flame Metals
Processing Corporation ("Flame Metals") and three inactive
corporations, Jardun Apparel Corp ("Jardun"), Milastar Services
Corporation and Northwest Engineering Labs, Inc. All related
plants are located in Minnesota.
Flame Metals generates 100% of Milastar's consolidated net sales
, which flow from the sale of a variety of sub-contract services to
industrial customers. These special services include
metallurgical-related processing involving the heating and cooling
of metal products under controlled conditions in order to
restructure the molecular property of such products to achieve
desired characteristics. The following primary categories of
services accounted for more than 15 percent of total net sales for
fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993.
1995 1994 1993
Harden - Neutral/Case 57% 52% 45%
Salt Bath Nitriding 25% 25% 26%
Flame Metal's customer list includes over 800 firms generally
classified as manufacturers. The customer furnishes all direct
materials and components processed for their account. These parts
are then heat treated, primarily to achieve a certain hardness or
surface finish, in preparation of the metal parts for their
designated use. The Company does not have any customer
representing more than 10 percent of total net sales.
Flame Metals' operating assets were acquired by Milastar in May
1985. Flame Metals has since been expanded by a succession of
acquisitions of complementary businesses. The initial acquisition
was consummated in October 1988 when Milastar directly acquired
certain assets of Northwest Engineering Labs, Inc. ("Northwest")
located in Minneapolis for approximately $390,000. These assets
were concurrently contributed to Flame Metals thus rendering the
Northwest entity inactive. The second acquisition was consummated
in November 1991 when Flame Metals directly acquired certain assets
and assumed certain liabilities from Getchell Steel Treating
Company, Inc. ("Getchell") located in Bloomington for a purchase
price of $1,358,365. Both of these acquired companies competed
directly with Flame Metals in the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul
market; never the less, the said acquisitions broadened market
coverage, added metal treating capabilities and expanded production
capacity.
The Company's three plants are all located in the Minneapolis-St.
Paul, Minnesota suburbs. These facilities include Flame Metals -
St. Louis Park, (35,000 sq. ft. owned) and Getchell -
Bloomington, (35,000 sq. ft. leased). The Northwest plant in
Minneapolis, (15,000 sq. ft. owned) was closed May 7, 1993 and
its activities integrated into the St. Louis Park facility. The
Northwest facility is currently being leased out to an assembly
company and is offered for sale. Northwest's production was
shifted to St. Louis Park primarily because the St. Louis Park
facility was not at full capacity and therefore could absorb the
additional volume.
Flame Metals incurred net losses before income taxes in fiscal
1995 of $612,000 and in fiscal 1994 of $955,000. Fiscal 1995
operating results improved primarily as a result of a 26% increase
in sales and a corresponding increase in gross margin of 57%. The
net loss after taxes amounted to $614,000 in fiscal 1995 and
$960,000 in fiscal 1994. Results of operations are discussed more
fully in "Management's Discussion and Analysis".
The Company's non-operating other income (expense) resulted in
a net expense of $117,000 in fiscal 1995, down $381,000 from the
$264,000 in net income recorded in 1994. The net loss on
marketable securities was attributable to the sale of two reverse
repurchase agreements. Current assets as a percent of total assets
at April 30, 1995 accounted for 36% compared to 79% at April 30,
1994. The book value per share was $1.41 per share at April 30,
1995 compared to $1.63 per share at April 30, 1994. The bid price
per share, as quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, was
$0.44 as of April 30, 1995.
Competition
The heat treat business is highly competitive, with price,
quality and consistency of service being the principal factors
affecting customer preferences. Since the customers' outside
manufactured product components are sensitive to freight charges,
the proximity of the heat treat facility to the customers'
production location is also a primary competitive factor. Thus
Flame Metals' business is generally localized and, to a lesser
degree, regionalized. In this regard, approximately six or seven
metallurgical processing competitors, some of which may possess
greater resources and may be more cost efficient, can be regarded
as competitive with Flame Metals. Nevertheless, the Company
believes Flame Metals' geographical location to customers, relative
price structure, processing quality and reliability, collectively,
provide Flame Metals with the resources to be competitive.
Seasonality and Raw Materials
The heat treat business is affected during the winter holiday
season and mid-summer due to vacations and plant shutdowns by Flame
Metals' customers. Flame Metals is not materially impacted by the
sources or availability of raw material in that virtually all
revenue is generated by services performed on customer owned
products.
Corporate
Milastar was organized under Delaware law on February 24, 1969.
Its principal executive offices are located at No. 9 Via Parigi,
Palm Beach, Florida 33480. Its communications numbers are:
Telephone (407) 655-9590 and fax number (407) 833-7253.
Environmental
To the best of its knowledge, the Company believes that it is
presently in substantial compliance with all existing applicable
environmental laws and does not anticipate that such compliance
will have a material effect on its future capital expenditures,
liquidity, earnings or competitive position.
Employee Relations
The Company operates two separate plant locations: Flame Metals
and Getchell, as identified herein before. The Company employs a
total of approximately 120 employees; 85 at Flame Metals and 35 at
Getchell. The Company believes the prevailing wage rates, fringe
benefits and working conditions afforded its employees compare
favorably with those received by employees employed by regional
businesses competitive with the Company. The Company believes its
employee relations are satisfactory; therefore the Company does not
anticipate any labor disruption during the forthcoming fiscal 1995.
Twenty-five production employees at the Getchell - Bloomington
plant are represented by the International Union of Electronic,
Electrical, Salaried, Machine and Furniture Workers, AFL-CIO Local
1140. The Flame Metals plant in St. Louis Park is not subject to
a collective bargaining agreement.
Item 2. Properties
The Company believes that its property and equipment are well
maintained, in good working condition, and are adequately insured.
Executive Offices
The Company currently maintains its executive offices located in
leased facilities in a building owned by J. Russell Duncan,
Chairman of the Board and a director of the Company, located at No.
9 Via Parigi, Palm Beach, Florida (see also "Corporate" above).
The lease covers 1,200 square feet, is on a month to month basis,
and provides for rental at a rate of $250 per month, which rate is
below prevailing rental rates for comparable facilities in the
area. Management regards such lease as being favorable and in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Flame Metals
Flame Metals owns or leases three industrial properties as
listed below:
ACTIVITY LOCATION SIZE (SQ.FT.) STATUS
Flame Metals St. Louis Park 35,000 Owned
Northwest Minneapolis 15,000 Owned
Getchell Bloomington 35,000 Leased
As pointed out on Page 1 the Northwest building is currently being
leased out and is offered for sale.
The lease on the Getchell plant is a ten year lease providing for
an annual rent of $72,000 per lease year in years one through five
and $75,600 per lease year in years six through ten. Such rental
payments are payable in monthly installments due and payable on the
first day of each calendar month. The Company is obligated under
the lease to pay all real estate taxes, maintenance expense and
insurance. The lease is renewable and the Company has the right to
purchase the leased building at any time during the lease term
subject to the terms and conditions specified in the lease.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Neither the Company nor any of its consolidated subsidiaries is
a party to any material pending legal or administrative
proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of the Company's security
holders during its fiscal year ended April 30, 1995.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
The Company's operating results for the fiscal year ended April
30, 1995 improved significantly as a result of substantially higher
sales and gross margin. Even though the total year fell short of
plan, each successive quarters operating results improved from the
preceding quarter with the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 showing an
operating profit. Milastar's overall results were negatively
impacted by a non-operating loss on the sale of marketable
securities.
Milastar's primary revenues flow from its core business, Flame
Metals Processing Corporation, a metal component processing and
heat treating operation. Flame Metals management continues to
increase prices and cut cost of sales as a percentage of sales.
The price increases, which are quoted individually by each
customer's particular products, are taking effect on an on-going
basis with a focus on low margin accounts. Significant progress
has been made in reducing factory labor, energy costs and primary
production supply costs as a percent of sales. These major areas
will continue to receive increased focus as the Company strives to
increase equipment utilization, expanded capacity and absorption
of fixed overhead costs.
Milastar has net operating loss carryforwards for state and
federal purposes of $3,772,000 and $1,793,000 respectively,
available to offset future taxable income, if any, which in the
future may enhance earnings as well as cash flow. In addition, the
Northwest building is being offered for sale and the resulting
proceeds will be added to current assets. With working capital at
year-end of $501,000 and minimal long term debt, the Company has
sufficient capital resources to meet fiscal 1996 requirements as
well as potential acquisitions.
Results of Operations
Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994. Net sales for fiscal 1995
totalled $6,708,000 a 26% increase from $5,307,000 in fiscal 1994.
The increase was primarily attributable to a recovering economy,
improved equipment utilization, price increases and a concentration
on our top twenty customers.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 79% in fiscal 1995
compared to 83% in fiscal 1994. The drop as a percent of sales is
the result of improved labor efficiency, equipment utilization and
increased equipment reliability. Management continues to provide
training for its inexperienced work force and strives to reduce
employee turnover.
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased
significantly as a percentage of sales to 27% in fiscal 1995, down
12% from 39% in fiscal 1994. The decrease as a percent of sales
and in total dollars is the result of higher sales, the elimination
of non-recurring charges, and managements concentration on reducing
overhead as a percent of sales.
Total dividend and interest income, net of the related interest
expense amounted to $164,000 in fiscal 1995, a 37% decrease from
the $260,000 reported in fiscal 1994. The net loss on marketable
securities totalled $281,000 in fiscal 1995 compared to a gain of
$4,000 in fiscal 1994. Both decreases were directly attributable
to the continued paydown and eventual sale of the Company's
remaining reverse repurchase agreements.
Fiscal 1994 Compared to Fiscal 1993. Net sales for fiscal 1994
totalled $5,307,000 a 4% decrease from $5,518,000 in fiscal 1993.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the loss of marginal
customers and the consolidation of three plants down to two. When
the Northwest facility was closed, most production was transferred
to the St. Louis Park plant which was not at full capacity.
Certain heat treat methods, considered by management to be marginal
or unprofitable, were discontinued.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 83% in both 1994 and
1993. The high percentage of cost of sales was driven by quality
and equipment downtime problems. Both 1994 and 1993 experienced
similar reliability problems which were primarily the result of an
inexperienced workforce, both in operating and maintaining the
equipment and in recognizing inconsistent quality which must be
corrected by rework. Management continued to provide increased
training and installation of process controls to solve these
problems.
Selling, general and administrative expense rose slightly as a
percentage of sales to 39% in fiscal 1994, up 2% from 37% in fiscal
1993. The increase was the result of lower sales and additional
non-recurring charges for the consolidation and closing of the
Northwest plant, $105,000; and placement, relocation and severance
associated with the management change, $95,000. In addition, salary
expense for new management and related employee costs increased by
approximately $170,000.
The non-recurring charges for fiscal 1994 were the result of
continued restructuring implemented in fiscal 1993. The Northwest
consolidation and closing started in fiscal 1993 was completed,
with the facility offered for sale. In addition, the transition to
new management was further implemented.
Investment related income slipped to $733,000 in fiscal 1994 from
$854,000 reported in fiscal 1993. Interest expense increased to
$473,000 in fiscal 1994 compared to $443,000 in fiscal 1993. The
decrease in dividend and interest income as well as an increase in
interest expense resulted from a lower yield spread on the
Company's investment in reverse repurchase agreements.
Fiscal 1993 Compared to Fiscal 1992. Net sales for fiscal 1993
totalled $5,518,000 a 29% increase from $4,291,000 in fiscal 1992.
Over 90% of this increase was attributable to the acquisition of
Getchell in the prior fiscal year, which included only six months
of Getchell sales.
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 83% and 82% in fiscal
1993 and 1992, respectively. The slight increase resulted from the
recognition of past quality problems in fiscal 1993 and
underpricing which was corrected.
Selling, general and administrative expense rose significantly
as a percentage of sales to 37% in fiscal 1993, up 5% from 32% in
fiscal 1992. The increase was a consequence of non-recurring
charges such as consolidation and closing of the Northwest plant,
$150,000; relocation of new management, $48,000; severance payment
to former management, $39,000; sales tax audit of prior years,
$50,000; and legal fees defending against the union dispute,
$70,000. Selling, general and administrative expense, as adjusted
for the non-recurring charges, was 30% of sales in fiscal 1993, a
2% improvement over 1992.
The non-recurring charges for fiscal 1993 primarily resulted from
the following three actions. 1). The consolidation and closing of
the Northwest facility. This consolidation involved the
transferring of production to the St. Louis Park plant which was
not operating at full capacity. The production realignment was
expected to absorb more factory overhead, eliminate duplicate
functions and reduce inter-plant material handling. 2). The
transition to new management. This transition, which replaced the
General Manager, was implemented primarily due to poor performance.
The costs included severance for old management and placement fees
and relocation expenses for new management. 3). Legal fees in
defending a dispute with the union over whether the union should be
recognized as the exclusive bargaining representative for certain
employees at the Getchell plant.
An increase in dividend and interest income as well as interest
expense was the direct result of the Company's investment in
reverse repurchase agreements.
In 1993, the Company recognized a benefit from the cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle of $66,000 due to a change
in its method of accounting for income taxes (discussed more fully
in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
Effects of Inflation
During fiscal 1995 and 1994 the Company's monetary assets
materially exceeded its monetary liabilities resulting in a
positive monetary position. During periods of significant price
inflation, the Company's purchasing power could be eroded if the
value of the Company's underlying tangible assets fail to
appreciate in value. Under such a scenario, the Company may be
positioned to raise prices to offset the inflation effect and in
addition take advantage of revaluation of underlying tangible
assets to bolster borrowing capacity. There is no clear
correlation between the side effects from inflation and the
Company's earning capacity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 30, 1995 the Company's working capital was $501,000
compared to $1,397,000 as of April 30, 1994, and the ratio of
current assets to current liabilities was 1.4 to 1 (April 30, 1995)
and 1.1 to 1 (April 30, 1994). Cash, marketable securities and
current receivables represented 76% (98% at April 30, 1994) and 27%
(77% at April 30, 1994) of total current assets and total assets,
respectively. On a cash basis the working capital is highly
liquid, over 78% consists of cash equivalents and marketable
securities which can be converted to cash in less than 10 days.
During fiscal 1995 cash used in operations amounted to $427,000
compared to $338,000 in fiscal 1994. The Company added $803,000 to
property, plant and equipment in fiscal 1995 compared to $639,000
in the previous year. The net cash flows from investing and
financing activities of the purchase and sale of marketable
securities and investments, along with the related note payables,
provided cash of $945,000 in fiscal 1995 compared to cash usage of
$43,000 in fiscal 1994. Working capital requirements for fiscal
1995 were funded primarily from the sale of cash equivalents,
marketable securities and other investments.
The Company has sufficient capital resources to meet its fiscal
1996 operations cash flow requirements as well as potential
acquisitions. At April 30, 1995 the Company did not have any
material commitments for capital resources.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Milastar Corporation:
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Milastar
Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1995 and 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and
changes in stockholders' equity for each of the years in the
three-year period ended April 30, 1995. In connection with our

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 audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Milastar Corporation and subsidiaries as of April 30,
1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended April
30, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related consolidated
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the
basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth
therein.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements,
Milastar Corporation and subsidiaries adopted the provisions of the
Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in

MILASTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Flame Metals Processing Corporation, Northwest
Engineering Labs, Inc., Jardun Apparel Corp. and Milastar Services
Corporation. In consolidation, all significant intercompany
accounts and transactions are eliminated.
Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers cash equivalents
to include all investments purchased with an original maturity of
90 days or less.
Marketable securities and other investments On May 1, 1994 the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Accounting Standards
No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities (Statement 115). Under Statement 115, the Company
classifies its debt and equity securities in one of three
categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity.
Trading securities are bought and held principally for the purpose
of selling them in the near term. Held-to-maturity securities are
those securities in which the Company has the ability and intent to
hold the security until maturity. All other securities not
included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as
available-for-sale. Trading and available-for-sale securities are
recorded at fair value. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded
at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of
premiums of discounts. Unrealized holding gains and losses on
trading securities are included in earnings. Unrealized holding
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from
earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders'
equity until realized. Transfers of securities between categories
are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. A decline in
the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged
to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for
the security. At April 30, 1994 marketable securities were carried
at the lower of aggregate cost or market.
Inventory Inventory is carried at cost as determined by the
First-In-First-Out (FIFO) method.
Prepaid supplies Prepaid supplies are capitalized and expensed
as used.
Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are
carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost
and related depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any
gain or loss is reflected in income for the period. The cost of
maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred, whereas
significant renewals and betterments are capitalized and deductions
are made for retirements resulting from the renewals or
betterments.
The estimated useful lives of the fixed assets are as follows:
Buildings . . . . . . 35 years
Equipment . . . . . . 5 to 12 years
Vehicles. . . . . . . 3 to 5 years
Other assets Other assets are comprised of two five-year non-
competition agreements which are being amortized over 60 months
using the straight-line method.
Income taxes In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (Statement 109). Statement 109
requires a change from the deferred method of accounting for income
taxes of APB Opinion 11 to the asset and liability method of
accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method
of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable
to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Effective May 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement 109 and has
reported the cumulative effect of that change in the method of
accounting for income taxes in the 1993 consolidated statement of
operations.
Reclassification Some fiscal 1994 and 1993 amounts have been
changed to conform to fiscal 1995 presentation.
2 MARKETABLE SECURITIES AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
Marketable securities and other investments consists of bonds and
common stock and are being used to invest excess cash until an
appropriate acquisition or operating need arises. In accordance
with Statement 115, for the year ended April 30, 1995, marketable
securities and other investments are classified as available-for-
sale and as such unrealized gains and losses are reported as a
separate component of shareholders' equity until realized.
Dividend income, interest income, and prepayment losses on debt
securities are accrued as earned. The Company uses specific
identification to determine the fair value of marketable securities
and other investments.
Marketable securities and other investments were comprised of the
following at April 30:
Description 1995 1994
RJR Nabisco Preferred Stock $ $154,000
Glaxo Preferred Stock - 307,000

Prior to the adoption of Statement 115, the Company recorded
unrealized gains and losses in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 12, Accounting for Certain
Marketable Securities. The 1994 balance sheet included a write
down to aggregate market value of $290,000.
3 NOTE PAYABLE
On April 1, 1992 and June 18, 1993 the Company entered into two
reverse repurchase agreements ("Repos") to finance an Adjustable
Rate Mortgage ("ARM") portfolio aggregating $6,205,000 and
$8,059,000, respectively. Each ARM was leveraged at a financing to
equity ratio of 9:1. Accordingly, the Company invested $635,000
and $604,000 and entered into notes payable for $5,570,000, and
$7,455,000, respectively. The interest rate charged on the notes
payable is the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and ranged
from 3.75% to 4.56%. As of April 30, 1995 the Company has
liquidated all of the reverse repurchase agreements and the
associated notes payable.
Each ARM, which was pledged as collateral against the respective
note payable, earned interest at the LIBOR rate plus 135 basis
points and such interest was paid monthly. Total interest costs
incurred on notes payable for the years ended April 30, 1995, 1994
and 1993 amounted to $310,000, $468,000 and $437,000, respectively.

5 INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted Statement 109 as of
May 1, 1992. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting
for income taxes is $66,000 as of May 1, 1992 and is reported
separately in the consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended April 30, 1993.

The first note of $76,000 is dated October 1, 1992, bears interest
at 8.0% and is due in 48 monthly installments commencing June 1,
1994. The note is between the Company and Sound Techniques, Inc.,
a Subchapter S Corporation wholly-owned by J. Russell Duncan,
chairman of the Board and a director of the Company. Lance H.
Duncan, the son of J. Russell Duncan and a director of the Company,

which consisted of $76,000 in principal and $17,000 in interest was
paid by Sound Techniques, Inc.
The second note is between the Company and L. Michael McGurk,
President, Chief Operating Officer and a director of the Company
who, with the encouragement of the Company, bought 15,000 shares of
Milastar Class A Common Stock and entered into a note with the
Company. The note of $20,000 is dated August 15, 1992 and bears
interest at 50 basis points over NYC Prime adjustable upward or
downward at the end of each six-month period, which interest rate
is subject to an 8% "cap" during the life of the loan. Interest on
the principal is payable each year on the anniversary date of the
note. The principal portion of the note is due on August 15, 1995.
The Company is holding Mr. McGurk's 15,000 shares of Milastar Class
A Common Stock as collateral for the note.
Total interest income related to these notes for the fiscal years
ended April 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 amounted to $10,000, $6,000 and
$5,000, respectively.
During fiscal 1995 the Company entered into a series of note
payable transactions which at April 30, 1995 had a balance of
$345,000 payable to J. Russell Duncan, Chairman of the Board and a
director of the Company. The notes bear a interest rate of 8% and
are payable on demand. The Company classifies the notes payable as
a current liability. Total interest expense related to this note
payable was $23,000 for fiscal 1995.
9 LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

1995, 1994 and 1993 is as follows:

The Company also had 968,473 shares of Class B Stock issued and
outstanding at April 30, 1993, which did not participate in
earnings or dividends until a liquidation preference of $6,690,000
has been satisfied in favor of the Class A Stock. At April 30,
1993 the liquidation preference had not been satisfied and
therefore the Class B Stock was not included in the earnings per
share calculation.

and outstanding Class B Common Shares for cash consideration
amounting to $200,000. On August 10, 1994 in an Information
