NOTE D - RECEIVERSHIP


     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.  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 December
     31, 1995.  The Company currently is also exploring various other types of
     financing as may be available and appropriate.

</TABLE>

Comparison of quarters ended July 31, 1995 and 1994.

NET SALES

Net sales were $2,584 for the quarter ended July 31, 1995.  This was an increase
of $184, or 7.7% over net sales of $2,400 for the quarter ending July 31, 1994.
High performance filters  increased by $167 due primarily to the increase in
emphasis on customer follow-up and customer service.  Airbag filters increased
by $17, as a result of continued customer demand, as opposed to the $711 decline
for the 1st quarter.

COST OF SALES/GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit (loss) as a percentage of net sales was 31.5% for the second
quarter ended July 31, 1995 as compared to 31.9% for the second quarter ending
July 31, 1994.  This is essentially unchanged.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE


Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended July 31, 1995
decreased to $452 (17.6% of net sales), as compared to $554 (23.4% of net
sales) for the quarter ending July 31, 1994.  This decrease was primarily
attributable to reductions in salary, commission and bad debt expense.

                                        6
<PAGE>


OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased $15 for the quarter ending July 31, 1995 as compared
to the quarter ending July 31, 1994.  This is due to the  reduction of the
Company's interest bearing debt.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

No provision for income taxes is necessary due to the Company's net operating
loss carry forwards in excess of $2,000,000 federal and $600,000 State of
California.

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, and the Company's valve products subsidiary which was sold on June 15,
1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July  31, 1995, working capital was $(726) versus $(1,214) at January 31,
1995.  The Company's current ratio was 0.8 at July 31, 1995 and 0.7 at January
31, 1995.

The Company's debt at July 31, 1995 was $2,822 consisting of notes payable to
the Company's bank totaling $1,962, loans from its stockholders of $69,
capitalized lease obligations of $41 and notes payable to vendors of $750.

Principal under the Company's term loans accrues interest at the bank's prime
rate plus 3.5% (at July 31, 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 lesser of $1,200 or 65% of eligible accounts
receivable.  Outstanding balances accrue interest at the bank's prime rate plus
3.5% (12.25% at July 31, 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 $683 under this
agreement at July 31, 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 has negotiated with its bank to obtain extensions of its line of
credit and term loans which expire December 31, 1995.  The Company 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  ongoing  long-term financing, generate sufficient cash flow to meet its
obligations on a timely basis and continue its current profitable operations.
The Company continues to take steps to

                                        7
<PAGE>


reduce its operating expenses. Management believes changes to date have
substantially contributed in the Company's return to profitable operation  There
can be no assurances however, that the Company will be able to successfully
maintain its profitable  operations, obtain long-term financing arrangements or
generate sufficient cash flow to meet its future 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
              do the Registrant's records support the defendant's claim.  Both
              actions 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.  Registrant believes that there is no
              merit to this action, and that it will ultimately be dismissed.

          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.

          6)  Imperial Bank commenced an action against Puroflow Incorporated
              for breach of the loan and security agreements, due to alleged
              default of

                                        8
<PAGE>

               certain loan covenants.  This caused a Receiver to be installed.

          7)  Tenth and Colorado Associates, Ltd. commenced action against
              Puroflow Incorporated for unlawful detainer related to Puroflow's
              occupation of a building located in Santa Monica which previously
              housed Registrants Airbag and Michigan Dynamics operations.
              Registrant vacated and the action was converted to a breach of
              lease action.  Registrant believes that it has valid legal
              defenses to this claim, and that it will ultimately be dismissed.

          The Company is not a party to any other material pending suits or
          legal actions, and is not aware of any material claims that are
          threatened.

          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:
