         adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring  accruals)  necessary
         for a fair presentation of the interim  information.  Operating results
         for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  are not  necessarily
         indicative  of the  results  that may be  expected  for the entire year
         ending December 31, 1996.

2.       INVENTORIES:

         Inventories were comprised of:

                  Raw materials            $   1,069       $     936
                  Work in process             17,008          16,585

3.       PUBLIC OFFERING:

         On September 3, 1996, the Company  completed an initial public offering
         in which  2,950,000  shares of common stock were issued for a total sum
         of $29.5  million.  Expenses  incurred  in  connection  with the  issue
         approximated  $2.6 million.  The net proceeds of the offering were used
         as follows:

                   Repay outstanding term debt            $  9,550
                   Repay subordinate debt                   10,000
                   Redeem preferred stock                    2,000
                   Reduce revolving credit liability         5,379

         The early repayment of the term debt and subordinated  debt resulted in
         the  write off of $723 of  deferred  financing  costs  and  unamortized
         discount on the subordinated debt of $872 which have been accounted for
         as an extraordinary  charge resulting from early extinguishment of debt
         net of applicable income taxes of $622.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


         In connection  with the offering,  the Company  increased the number of
         its  authorized  shares of common  stock from 2,200 to  18,000,000  and
         effected  a 5,540  to 1 stock  split.  Share  data in the  accompanying
         financial statements have been restated to reflect these changes.

4.       CONTINGENCIES:

         In July 1996 the Company entered into a binding settlement with respect
         to certain litigation with a distributor. As of September 30, 1996, the
         Company  had  fully  accrued  such  cost  in its  historical  financial
         statements.

      Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                     and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 1996,  compared to three months ended September
30, 1995:

Net Sales:  Net sales for the three months ended  September 30, 1996, were $35.2
million,  an increase of $8.6 million or 32.4% compared to $26.6 million for the
three  months  ended   September  30,  1995.  The  increase  in  net  sales  was
attributable to a significant increase in unit volume of material handlers.

Gross Profit:  Gross profit for the three months ended  September 30, 1996,  was
$8.3 million, an increase of $2.4 million or 40.3%, compared to $5.9 million for
the three months ended  September 30, 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of net
sales  increased to 23.5% for the three months ended  September  30, 1996,  from
22.1% for the three months ended  September 30, 1995,  primarily due to improved
production efficiencies and economies of higher production volume.

Engineering:  Engineering expense for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
was $0.7 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 15.9%, compared to $0.6 million
for the three months ended  September  30,  1995.  This  increase was due to the
addition of engineering personnel to support new product development.

Selling and Marketing: Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended
September  30,  1996,  were $1.5  million,  an increase of $0.1 million or 6.7%,
compared to $1.4  million for the three months ended  September  30, 1995.  This
increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  addition  of  a  field  service
representative and a service parts sales representative.

Administrative: Administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30,
1996, were $1.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 15.1%,  compared to $1.3
million for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1995.  This  increase  was
primarily  attributable to various timing  adjustments on insurance payments and
employee benefits.

Interest  Expense:  Interest  expense for the three months ended  September  30,
1996, was $0.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 202.0%,  compared to $0.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995. This increase in interest
expense was due to  increased  borrowings  in  connection  with the October 1995
recapitalization of the Company.

Income Tax  Provision:  Income tax expense for the three months ended  September
30, 1996,  was $1.4 million,  an increase of $0.6 million or 79.9%,  compared to
$0.8 million for the three months ended  September 30, 1995, and  represented an
effective tax rate of 39.2% and 35.8%, respectively.
<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Income Before Extraordinary  Charge:  Income before extraordinary charge for the
three months ended  September 30, 1996,  was $2.1  million,  an increase of $0.7
million or 55.6%,  compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 1995. This increase was attributable to the increased sales volume.

Extraordinary  Charge:  An extraordinary  charge of $1.0 million,  net of taxes,
related to early  extinguishment of debt was incurred in September 1996 to write
off unamortized  deferred  financing costs and the discount on subordinated debt
which were paid off with the proceeds from the initial public offering which was
completed on September 3, 1996.

Earnings  Per  Share  After  Extraordinary  Charge:  Earnings  per  share  after
extraordinary charge decreased to $0.16 for the three months ended September 30,
1996, from $0.24 for the three months ended September 30, 1995, principally as a
result of the extraordinary charge described above and a higher number of shares
outstanding from the initial public offering.

Nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  compared to nine months ended  September
30, 1995:

Net Sales:  Net sales for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, were $104.8
million, an increase of $15.9 million or 17.9% compared to $88.9 million for the
nine  months  ended   September  30,  1995.   The  increase  in  net  sales  was
substantially  attributable to a significant increase in unit volume of material
handlers.

Gross  Profit:  Gross  profit for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996,
amounted to $24.2  million,  an increase  of $4.7  million or 24.2%  compared to
$19.5 million for the nine months ended  September  30, 1995.  Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales  increased to 23.1% for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996, from 22.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, primarily due
to improved  production  efficiencies  and the  economics  of higher  production
volume.

Engineering:  Engineering  expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
was $2.3 million,  an increase of $0.4 million or 21.1% compared to $1.9 million
for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1995.  This  increase was due to the
addition of engineering personnel to support new product development.

Selling and Marketing:  Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months ended
September  30,  1996,  were $4.9  million,  an increase of $0.9 million or 24.2%
compared to $3.9 million for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1995.  This
increase was primarily attributable to the expenses related to the 1996 ConExpo,
a major  trade show held every  three  years,  and  marketing  costs tied to the
increased sales volume.

<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Administrative:  Administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1996,  were $4.0 million,  an increase of $0.5 million or 14.7% compared to $3.5
million  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995.  This  increase  was
primarily   attributable  to  higher  legal  expenses  in  connection  with  the
settlement of litigation and the addition of  professional  employees to support
quality control and management information systems.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30,1996,
was $2.8 million, an increase of $2.1 million or 298.4% compared to $0.7 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This increase in interest  expense
was  due  to  increased   borrowings  in   connection   with  the  October  1995
recapitalization.

Income Tax Provision: Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1996,  was $3.6 million,  an increase of $0.5 million or 14.4%  compared to $3.2
million for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  and  represented  an
effective tax rate of 39.2% and 35.9%, respectively.

Income  Before  Extraordinary  Charge:  Income before  extraordinary  charge was
approximately the same for both nine month periods. The higher level of sales in
the nine months ended September 30, 1996,  generated  higher  operating  margins
which were offset by the  additional  interest cost related to the debt incurred
with the recapitalization on October 13, 1995.

Extraordinary  Charge:  An extraordinary  charge of $1.0 million,  net of taxes,
related to early  extinguishment of debt was incurred in September 1996 to write
off unamortized  deferred  financing costs and the discount on subordinated debt
which  were paid off with the  proceeds  from the  initial  public  offering  on
September 3, 1996.

Earnings  Per  Share  After  Extraordinary  Charge:  Earnings  per  share  after
extraordinary  charge decreased to $0.74 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, from $1.02 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995,  principally as a
result of the extraordinary charge described above and a higher number of shares
outstanding from the initial public offering.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $1.6 million for the
first nine months of 1996. Net cash from operating activities resulted primarily
from $4.6 million of net income,  $1.3 million of depreciation,  $0.4 million of
post retirement benefit net of deferred taxes, and a $1.6 million  extraordinary
charge to write off  unamortized  deferred  financing  costs and the discount on
subordinated  debt which were paid off with  proceeds  from the  initial  public
offering on September 3, 1996. The sum of these  operating  activities  prior to
changes in working capital totaled $7.9 million and was partially offset by $6.4
million  of net cash  used by  changes  in  operating  assets  and  liabilities,
primarily due to an increase in accounts  receivable in support of the Company's
revenue growth.

<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

For the first nine months of 1996,  net cash  invested in  purchases of property
and  equipment  was $1.5  million.  For the year ended  December 31,  1996,  the
Company  expects that purchases of property and equipment will be  approximately
$4.2 million.

For the first nine months of 1996,  net cash used by  financing  activities  was
$508,000  resulting from the proceeds from the initial public  offering less the
pay down of bank debt and redemption of preferred stock.

A substantial  amount of the Company's  working  capital is invested in accounts
receivable and inventories. The Company periodically reviews accounts receivable
for   noncollectibility   and  inventories  for   obsolescence  and  establishes
allowances it believes are appropriate.

As of September  30, 1996,  the Company has  borrowed  $12.8  million of its $22
million bank revolving credit facility which is secured by most of the assets of
the Company. Interest is calculated, at the Company's option, at LIBOR plus 1.0%
or a  commercial  bank's base rate less 0.5% and  requires a  commitment  fee of
0.25% per annum on the unused  portion of the revolving  credit  commitment.  At
September 30, 1996, $9.2 million was available for future  borrowings  under the
revolver and the Company was in  compliance  with all financial  covenants.  The
Company is in the process of revising  the terms of its senior  credit  facility
which  will  increase  the  facility  amount  and  provide   greater   financial
flexibility to the Company. The present facility expires October 13, 2000.

The Company  believes that cash flows from  operations and funds available under
its revolving  credit  facility will be adequate to fund its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.
