opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The Company's  operating  results for the three months ended March 31, 2004, are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  December 31, 2004.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual
report  on  Form  10-KSB  for  the  year  ended   December  31,  2003.   Certain
reclassifications   were  made  to  the  prior  year's  consolidated   financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.

(5) Stock-based Compensation:

The  Company  accounts  for  stock-based  compensation  to  employees  using the
intrinsic  value  method.  Accordingly,  compensation  cost for stock options to
employees is measured as the excess,  if any , of the quoted market price of the
Company's common stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must
pay to acquire the stock.

The following table  illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
if the  Company  had  applied  the fair  value  recognition  provisions  of FASB
Statement No. 123,  Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,  to  stock-based
employee compensation.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Results of Operations
---------------------

Quarter ended June 30, 2004 vs 2003:
------------------------------------
Sales  for the  second  quarter  of 2004  increased  by $  499,178  or 8.8% when
compared  to the  corresponding  quarter  of 2003.  This was the  result  of a $
531,101  increase in jewelry  sales and a $ 31, 923 decrease in precious  metals
sales.  These  changes  were  due to a  nation-wide  improvement  in the  retail
environment and price  decreases in precious metal  products.  Pawn service fees
increased  by 13.1% due to an increase in loan volume.  Cost of sales  increased
primarily due to the increase in sales.  Gross margins  increased  from 19.0% in
2003 to 19.2% in 2004 due to the increase in sales of jewelry products.

Income taxes are provided at the corporate rate of 34% for both 2004 and 2003

Loss from discontinued operations during 2004 and 2003 in the amount of $ 46,106
and $ 24, 444 net of income taxes is the combined results of three  subsidiaries
of the Company,  DLS Financial  Services,  Inc.,  eye media,  inc. and Silverman
Consultants, Inc. The operations of these companies have been discontinued.

1,552,294  increase in jewelry sales and a $ 598,291 increase in precious metals

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The  Company's  short-term  debt totaled  $2,741,758  as of June 30,  2004.  The
ability of the Company to finance its operations  and working  capital needs are
dependent upon management's ability to negotiate extended terms or refinance its
short-term  debt.  The Company has  historically  renewed,  extended or replaced
short-term debt as it matures and management believes that it will be able to do
so in the future as short-term debt matures.

Management of the Company  expects capital  expenditures to total  approximately
$50,000  during the balance of 2004. It is anticipated  that these  expenditures
will be funded from working capital.

From time to time,  management  has adjusted the Company's  inventory  levels to
meet  seasonal  demand  or  in  order  to  meet  working  capital  requirements.
Management  is of the opinion that if  additional  working  capital is required,
additional loans can be obtained from  individuals or from commercial  banks. If
necessary,  inventory  levels  may be  adjusted  or a portion  of the  Company's
investments in marketable  securities may be liquidated in order to meet working
capital requirements.

This  report  contains  forward-looking  statements  which  reflect  the view of
Company's management with respect to future events. Although management believes

forward-looking  statements  contained  herein  reflect the current views of the
Company's  management  and the  Company  assumes  no  obligation  to update  the
