NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A. Basis for Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions of Form 10-Q and do not include
all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statement. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three months ended February 28, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be obtained for the year ending November 30, 2003.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registration's Form
10-K for the year ended November 30, 2002 filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 28, 2003.

B. Net Loss Per Common Share

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share",
provides for the calculation of "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per share.
Basic earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing
income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of
shares outstanding during the period (9,932,593 and 10,233,637 for 2003
and 2002). Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential of securities
that could share in the earnings of the Company, similar to fully diluted
earnings per share.

For the periods ended February 28, 2003 and February 28, 2002, total stock
options in the amount of 750,000 and 1,020,000 are not considered in the
computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.


C. Stockholders' Equity

Purchase of Treasury Stock

On January 1, 2001, the Board of Directors granted an option to each of the
officers of the Company to purchase a total of 750,000 shares of treasury
stock at $.20 per share by December 31, 2003. The options' exercise price
was greater than the common stock's market price at the date of grant.

On July 18, 2001, the Board of Directors granted common stock options to
ten middle and senior managers of the Company. The options totaled 460,000
shares of which 165,000 shares of options expired on December 31, 2001 if
not subscribed by that date. The option price was $.30 per share. The
remainder of the options were to be exercised no later than December 31,
2002. As of December 31, 2001, 105,000 shares were subscribed to by the
managers which meant that the remaining 60,000 options expired as of that
date. Three senior managers were given, as a bonus for 2001, an additional
16,667 shares (valued at $.30 per share) which were granted on December 20,
2001 when the market price was $.21 per share.

As of December 31, 2002, senior managers subscribed to 124,000 shares of
options at a price of $.30 per share. The remaining options outstanding,
a total of 171,000 shares, expired on that date.


D. Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest were $41,000 and $54,000 for the three months
ended February 28, 2003 and February 28, 2002. Cash payments for income
taxes were $73,000 and $35,000 for the three months ended February 28,
2003 and February 28, 2002.



Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Result of Operation

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The net cash used in operating activities increased by $883,000 for the
three months ended February 28, 2003 as compared to the same period last
year, due to the decrease in inventory of $362,000, an increase in accounts
receivable of $362,000, an decrease in accounts payable of $362,000 and a
decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $417,000.
The increase in accounts receivable was due to slower pay in customers
primarily due to the continued drought conditions and economic
circumstances in the Rocky Mountain region. The decrease in inventory is
primarily attributable due to smaller purchases of inventories on vendor
early buy programs opting for more just-in-time purchases during the year
as merchandise is required. The decrease in accounts payables is due to
the lower inventory purchases. The decrease in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities was primarily due to the much greater net income levels
of fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001 which resulted in significantly
greater accruals for management bonus, profit sharing and income taxes at
the end of fiscal 2002 combined with the cash payments of those
liabilities in the 1st quarter of 2003

The net cash used in investing activities increased by
$10,000 as compared to same period last year.

The net cash provided by financing activities increased as compared to same
period last year by $887,000 primarily as a result of the increase in net
borrowings to the bank of $603,000 (primarily due to the cash payments made
in order to decrease accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current
liabilities) and the increase of $252,000 in checks written in excess of
deposits.


On July 18, 2001, the Board of Directors granted common stock options to
ten middle and senior managers of the Company. The options totaled 460,000
shares of which 165,000 shares of options expired on December 31, 2001 if
not subscribed by that date. The option price was $.30 per share. The
remainder of the options were to be exercised no later than December 31,
2002. As of December 31, 2001, 105,000 shares were subscribed to by the
managers which meant that the remaining 60,000 options expired as of that
date. Three senior managers were given, as a bonus for 2001, an additional
16,667 shares (valued at $.30 per share) which were granted on December 20,
2001 when the market price was $.21 per share.

As of December 31, 2002, senior managers subscribed to 124,000 shares of
options at a price of $.30 per share. The remaining options outstanding,
a total of 171,000 shares, expired on that date.


The following is a summary of working capital and current ratio for the
periods presented:

February 28, 2003 November 30, 2002
Working Capital $3,199,000 $4,087,000
Current Ratio 1.64 to 1 2.45 to 1

The Company's working capital decreased by $888,000 during the three months
ended February 28, 2003 as compared to November 30, 2002 primarily as a
result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $247,000, an increase in
inventory of $1,482,000, an increase in notes payable to banks to $748,000,
an increase in accounts payable & checks written against future deposits of
$2,231,000 and a decrease in accrued expenses of $733,000.

Management believes that the present working capital is adequate to conduct
its present operations. The Company does not anticipate any additional
material capital expenditures for fiscal 2003. As of February 28, 2003,
the Company and its subsidiary have an available line-of-credit of
$5,750,000. As of February 28, 2003, $3,993,000 is unused under the line
of credit. The line of credit expires on June 30, 2004. The line-of-credit
agreement limits the payment of dividends by CPS Distributors, inc. and its
subsidiaries ("CPS") to the Company. CPS is the wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company. The line-of-credit agreement also limits the payment of any
expenses of the Company by CPS in excess of $50,000 during any twelve-month
period except for specific expenditures provided for in additional
amendments to the agreement. This restriction does not have a significant
impact of the Company's ability to meet its cash needs as its cash needs
are minimal.

The decrease in the current ratio as of February 28, 2003 as compared to
November 30, 2002 is attributable to the increase in accounts payable and
bank borrowings and a decrease in accrued expenses, a decrease in accounts
receivable offset partially by the increase in inventories.

Income Taxes

As of February 28, 2003, the Company has recorded a current net deferred
tax asset totaling $170,000 and has recorded a noncurrent net deferred tax
asset totaling $373,000. Based upon the Company's recent history of taxable
income and its projections for future earnings, management believes that it
is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be generated in
the near term to utilize the net deferred tax assets.



Results of Operations

Three Months Ended February 28, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended
February 28, 2002.

Net sales for the three months ended February 28, 2003 were down $195,000
as compared to the first quarter of 2002 due to the continued drought
conditions and economic circumstances in the Rocky Mountain region.

Gross profit for the three months ended February 28, 2003 were 33.40%
during the three months ended February 28, 2003 as compared to 28.90%
during the three months ended February 28, 2002 (an increase of 4.50%).
This was primarily due to the continuing purchasing and pricing efforts
instituted by management beginning the second quarter of 2002.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $148,000 during
the three months ended February 28, 2003 as compared to the three months
ended February 28, 2002 primarily due the increase in sales expenses of
$119,000 which was primarily a result of additional promotional and
advertising programs instituted in the first quarter of 2003 which
required significant front end cash down payments.

Other expenses decreased $24,000 during the three months ended February 28,
2003 as compared to the three months ended February 28, 2002 primarily due
to the decrease in interest expense of $13,000. The decrease in interest
expense was primarily due to a lower average line-of-credit balance
($1,376,000 for first quarter 2003 compared to $1,757,000 for first quarter
2002).

Net loss in the first quarter of 2003 was $9,000 less than the first
quarter of 2002 primarily


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk through interest rates related to
its investment of current cash and cash equivalents. These funds are
generally highly liquid with short-term maturities, and the related market
risk is not considered material. The Company's note payable to bank has a
variable interest rate. A 10% increase in short-term interest rates on the
note payable to bank of $1,757,000 would increase the Company's yearly
interest expense by approximately $8,000, assuming borrowed amounts remain
outstanding at current levels. The Company's management believes that
fluctuation in interest rates in the near term will not materially affect
the Company's consolidated operating results, financial position or cash
flow.
