NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The information presented for the three months ended April 30, 1995 and

     opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
     such periods.

     The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
     the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
     Company's January 31, 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 1995 are not

NOTE D - SUBSEQUENT EVENT


     On May 1, 1995, the Company entered into a stipulation for the immediate
     appointment of a receiver.  The appointment resulted from a lawsuit filed
     by the Company's bank due to the Company's default on its obligations under
     various credit agreements with the bank.  The receiver has assumed
     jurisdiction over all of the Company's assets which are indefinitely in the
     possession of the receivership estate, and held by the receiver for the
     benefit of all creditors and shareholders.  Accordingly, the receiver is
     not obligated to pay liabilities that existed prior to his appointment;
     however, the receiver may elect to pay certain of those liabilities subject
     to the authorization of the Court.  At present, the receiver is working
     with the Company's management in operating the business.

     The term of the Company's current credit facilities runs through June 15,
     1995.  The Company currently is negotiating an extension on this facility
     with the bank.  It is also exploring various other types of financing as
     may be available and appropriate.

The Company's principal products consist of high performance filters, automotive
airbag filters and fluid control valves.  The following table reflects the
percentage relationship to net sales of certain items included in the Company's
statement of operations for the quarters ended April 30, 1995 and 1994.

</TABLE>

Comparison of quarters ended April 30, 1995 and 1994.

NET SALES

Net sales were $2,010 for the quarter ended April 30, 1995.  This was a decrease
of $629 23.8% over net sales of $2,639 for the quarter ending April 30, 1994.
High performance filters and fluid control valves increased by $82 due primarily
to the increase in emphasis on customer follow-up and customer service.  Airbag
filters declined by $711 as is a result of the airbag customer providing
materials required for the production of the airbag filters.  This resulted in a
decrease to the sales price of the filter.

COST OF SALES/GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit (loss) as a percentage of net sales was 27.3% for the first quarter
ended April 30, 1995 as compared to (3.5)% for the first quarter ending April
30, 1994.  The increase is a direct result of the Company's success in reducing
the production costs and increase the productivity of the manufacturing process.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended April 30, 1995
increased to $504 (25.0% of net sales), as compared to $395 (15.0% of net sales)
for the quarter ending April 30, 1994.  This increase was primarily attributable
to legal and other professional fees.


                                        6

<PAGE>

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

Interest expense increased $15 for the quarter ending April 30, 1995 as compared
to the quarter ending April 30, 1994.  This is due to the increased interest
rates, partially offset by a reduction of the Company's interest bearing debt.

LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

The loss from discontinued operations reflect the results from operations of the
Company's water purification products subsidiary which was sold on November 9,
1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of April 30, 1995, working capital was $(1,153) versus $(1,214) at January
31, 1995.  The Company's current ratio was 0.7 both at April 30, 1995 and
January 31, 1995.

The Company's debt at April 30, 1995 was $3,343 consisting of notes payable to
the Company's bank totaling $2,399, loans from its stockholders of $71,
capitalized lease obligations of $44 and notes payable to vendors of $829.

Principal under the Company's term loans accrues interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 2.5% (11.5% at April 30, 1995) and is secured by accounts receivable,
inventories, equipment purchased with the loan proceeds and all other
unencumbered assets of the Company.

In addition, the Company has a revolving line of credit with its bank under
which it may borrow up to the lessor of $1,200 or 65% of eligible accounts
receivable.  Outstanding balances accrue interest at the bank's prime rate plus
3.5% (12.5% at April 30, 1995). This line is collateralized by the Company's
accounts receivable, inventories and a first priority interest in all
unencumbered assets. The Company had an outstanding balance of $790 under this
agreement at April 30, 1995.  There are no additional borrowings available under
the line of credit.

The terms of the credit agreements contain certain restrictive covenants.
Currently, the Company is in default of various loan covenants; as a result, on
May 1, 1995, the Company entered into a stipulation for the immediate
appointment of a receiver.  The appointment was based upon the default of the
Company on its obligations under these agreements with its bank.  The receiver
has assumed jurisdiction over substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The receiver continues to operate the Company with the assistance of existing
management.

The Company is currently negotiating with its bank to obtain extensions of its
line of credit and term loans which expire June 15, 1995.  The bank is currently
evaluating the Company, and management believes that an extension will be
obtained until such time where other financing can be arranged; however, no
assurances to this effect can be given. The Company also needs to obtain
additional working capital and may seek additional equity which could have a
dilutive effect on the Company's current shareholders.

The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to
obtain an adequate long-term financing arrangement, generate sufficient cash
flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis and ultimately to return to
profitable operations. The absence of the foregoing raises substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company
continues to take steps to reduce its operating expenses. Management believes
such changes will result in the Company positioning itself to increase sales and


                                        7

<PAGE>

improve its results of operations. There can be no assurances; however, that the
Company will be able to successfully improve its results of operations, obtain
long-term financing arrangements or generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations on a timely basis. In the event the Company is unable to do so, the
Company may be forced to pursue other options, including reorganization under
applicable laws.


                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM L.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          1)   Puroflow Incorporated vs. George Solymar.  Registrant seeks
               recovery of $46,000 plus interest from 1989 for conversion of
               Corporate funds by defendant for personal obligations.  George
               Solymar commenced an action for alleged breach of an oral
               agreement of employment, alleging oral continuance of a written
               contract dated back to 1969.  There is no merit to the claim, nor
               does the Registrant's records support the defendants claim.  Both
               action have been consolidated for trial in September, 1995.

          2)   Joseph B. Jasso and Martha Jasso commenced action against
               Puroflow Incorporated and all Members of the Board for breach of
               an employment contract.  The Board of Directors authorized the
               Registrant to cross-claim for breach of fiduciary duties,
               misfeasance and malfeasance as a former Director and Chief
               Executive Officer.

          3)   DSS Company vs. Ultra Dynamics Corporation, a wholly owned
               subsidiary, for breach of alleged purchase order of $30,000.
               Ultra Dynamics claims it does not owe plaintiff any sums because
               the plaintiff changed the terms of the warranty which were not
               acceptable to the defendant, and the purchase order was not
               accepted by the defendant.  Plaintiff alleges damages of $15,000
               in discovery proceedings.

          4)   Cynthia Meals vs. M. Rowena Willis, et al. represents a civil
               action commenced in Court of Common Pleas of Chester County,
               Pennsylvania for unspecified damages resulting from improper
               maintenance of a treatment system for drinking water.  Ultra
               Dynamics Corporation is included as one of six codefendants as a
               supplier of the equipment to a codefendant distributor.  Ultra
               Dynamics has filed a cross complaint against all codefendants and
               plaintiff.  Registrant believed that there is absolutely no merit
               to this action against Ultra, and the action will ultimately be
               dismissed on motion.

          5)   Registrant previously reported the award of a judgment in favor
               of Micro-Numerics, Inc. for $34,398.26 plus interest and costs.
               The Judgment Creditor has made a total levy of $43,939.56 for the
               unpaid judgment which remains unsatisfied, although Registrant
               and Judgment Creditor have conducted negotiations for an orderly
               liquidation of the judgement.

          6)   Imperial Bank commenced an action against Puroflow Incorporated
               for breach of the loan and security agreements, due to alleged
               default of certain loan covenants.  This caused a Receiver to be
               installed.

          On or about March 3, 1995, Joseph B. Jasso, former President and
          C.E.O. of the Registrant commenced an action in the Superior Court of
          the State of California, County of Los Angeles for breach of
          Employment Contract and other allegations against the Registrant and
          all members of the Board of Directors.  The Company intends to
          vigorously oppose this action on the grounds of violation of his
          fiduciary obligations as a Director and Chief Executive Officer to
          Stockholders and Management of the Company.

          Form 8-K filed May 12, 1995:

          Registrant and its wholly subsidiaries have entered into a stipulation
          effective May 1, 1995 with Imperial Bank under its collateral loan
          security agreement for the appointment of a Receiver: Michael D. Myers
          was appointed a Receiver on May 1, 1995 pursuant to the order of the
          Honorable Diane Wayne, Judge of the Superior Court of the State of
          California for the County of Los Angeles, Case No. BC126904 to assume
          jurisdiction over, substantially, all the assets of the business of
          the registrant by leaving existing Directors and Officers in
          possession, but subject to the supervision and order of the Court.
