the Board of Directors and Management.

Additionally, the Company entered a new banking relationship.  The Company 
obtained a $750,000 revolving credit line.  This credit line bears interest 
at the rate of prime plus 1.5%, per annum, and is secured, primarily, by the 
Company's accounts receivable and inventories.  The Company also obtained a 
$300,000, non-revolving, equipment acquisition credit line, which bears 
interest at the rate of prime plus 1.75%, per annum, and is secured by all of 
the Company's assets.  Both of these loans are cross-collateralized.  The 
terms of these loan agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, 
including maintenance of minimum working capital, net worth, and ratios of 
current assets to current liabilities and debt to net worth.

REVENUES

Sales were $2,096,254 for the three months ended April 30,1998 compared to 
$2,349,632 in 1997. This represents a decrease of $253,334 or 10.78% due

side impact filters.

efficiencies.

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income was $132,245 in April 1998 compared to $199,847 in April 
1997, a decrease of $67,602 due to the lower margins on airbag filters, the 
impact of the cost of new product development as well as increased marketing 
costs.

INTEREST CHARGES  

Interest on the bank loan was $1,074 as of April 30, 1998.

INCOME TAXES

A tax benefit of $51,000 was recognized as a result of income tax loss

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. PENDING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

1)   Memtec America Corporation obtained a confession of judgment from the 
     Circuit Court of Baltimore County, Maryland, on December 19,1995 against 
     the Company for approximately $220,000, based upon the execution of a 
     promissory note by a former chief executive of the Company, which note 
     was executed in exchange for goods and services delivered by the 
     Plaintiff. The Company disputes that any amounts are due under the note 
     as a result of Company's right of set-off.  The judgment was obtained 
     without due notice to the Company.  The Receiver retained counsel in 
     Baltimore, Maryland, for the purpose of setting aside the confession of 
     judgment and to assert a number of counter-claims against Memtec America 
     Corporation.  The confession of judgment was vacated by order of the 
     Circuit Court of Baltimore County on June 24,1996.  The Company filed an 
     amended counter-claim and third party complaint on August 12, 1996 
     against Memtec America Corporation and four employees of the Company now 
     employed by Memtec America Corporation.  The counter-claim against the 
     four former employees was dismissed for jurisdictional purposes.  The 
     Company now is in the process of securing positive depositions from key 
     witnesses to support the amended counter-claim, and management believes 
     the Company will recover a reasonable award and legal fees. Although the 
     Company cannot determine the potential liability which may result from 
     the foregoing, it believes it will prevail in its defenses, and does not 
     expect that such litigation will have a material adverse effect on its 
     financial position or results of operation.  

At January 31,1998, an accrual in the amount of approximately $256,000 had 
been recorded for judgments against the Company for lawsuits that have 
concluded.

The Company is not party, nor are its properties subject to, any material 
pending proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the 
Company's business and the matters described above.
