</TABLE>

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of common stock
equivalents when dilutive.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the first quarter of the year ended January 31, 1999, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
(FAS 128), which supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under
FAS 128, earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the
issuance of common stock. Prior period amounts have been restated, where
appropriate to conform to the requirements of FAS 128.

NOTE 5 - LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a $1,000,000 revolving credit line maturing on June 5, 2000.
This credit line bears interest at the rate of prime plus 0.25% per annum,
and is secured primarily by the Company's accounts receivable and
inventories. The terms of this loan agreement contains certain restrictive
covenants, including maintenance of minimum working capital, net worth, and
ratios of current assets to current liabilities and debt to net worth. There
is no outstanding balance under this line on January 31, 1999 and an open
balance of $35,000 as of July 31, 1999.

1999, compared to 2.87 to 1 on January 31, 1999.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Cash flow from Operations for the six months ended July 31, 1999 was reduced
by $1,163,907 compared to a decrease of $158,133 for the six months ended
July 31, 1998. The reduction in cash available resulted from the acquisition
of QCCC, a reduction in accrued expenses and accounts payable, and write-off
of $327,929 for disposal of machinery and equipment, of which $106,067
represents obsolete filter equipment.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The Company invested $69,567 in new capital equipment in the current quarter
predominantly for equipment for a new type of airbag filter.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

The Company has an unused revolving credit line of $1,000,000 which bears
interest at the rate of prime plus 0.25% per annum, secured by the Company's
accounts receivable and inventory. The Company is in compliance with all
covenants under its loan agreement with the Bank. The Company obtained a loan
of $236,000 to pay non-recurring judgment against it as well as purchase a
necessary blueprint copier, now reduced to $163,000.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On January 31, 1999, the Company acquired Quality Controlled Cleaning
Corporation ("QCCC") for $550,630 including all costs of the acquisition.
QCCC is a precision cleaning and repair company located in Commerce,
California. The Company's acquisition resulted in goodwill of approximately
$274,000 and a non-compete agreement of $50,000. The goodwill will amortize
over 10 years and the non-compete agreement over its term of 3 years.

In addition to the purchase price, the agreement includes a contingent
payment of 50% of net sales in the year ending January 31, 2000, in excess of
$500,000 up to a maximum of $800,000. If the full amount of the contingency
is realized, the liability would total $150,000 and would be recorded as
additional goodwill.

$2,209,044 in 1998, a 22% decrease of $479,851. Sales of airbag filters
decreased $152,535 for the comparable period due to the slow ramp-up of the

shipments of $83,008 for International Sales.

months ended July 31, 1999 and for the six months ended July 31, 1999 of

incurred to legal proceedings set forth in detail in Part II, Item 1 (2).

OPERATING INCOME

Operating loss was $302,247 in July 1999 compared to operating income of
$98,745 in July 1998, a decrease of $400,992 due to the lower margins on

    Corporation in February 1999 and the award of damages reported in its Form
    10 KSB filing for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999.

2.  The Company reports the commencing of a lawsuit by Steel Partners II L.P.
    against the Company and its four directors on May 3, 1999 in the U.S.
    District Court for the District of Delaware seeking to rescind or enjoin the
    Private Placement of 940,000 shares of common stock purchased by the
    directors, officers and employees of the Company. The purpose of the lawsuit

    action in the Supreme Court of the State of California, County of Los
    Angeles, to seek compensatory and punitive damages and injunctive relief for
