COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1999 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1998.

REVENUES - Revenues for the three months ended February 28, 1999 totaled $5.1
million as compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended February 28,
1998, a decrease of $1.0 million or 17%. Under the Company's percentage of
completion method of recording contracts in process, revenue is recognized as
costs are incurred on such contracts. As a result of the Company experiencing
less direct material expense, outside machining expense and direct labor expense
on contracts in process during the second quarter of 1999, the Company recorded
lower revenue as compared to the comparable quarter in 1998, however these lower
costs should improve margins of such contracts.

COST OF SALES - Cost of sales was $3.4 million for the three months ended
February 28, 1999 as compared to $4.4 million for the three months ended
February 28, 1998. As a percent of revenue, cost of sales for the three months
ended February 28, 1999 was 67.8% as compared to 72.7% for the three months
ended February 28, 1998. The improved gross margin was largely due to a decrease
in the Company's direct costs expense (a decrease of $1.2 million or 14.5% of
sales) and an increase in manufacturing overhead expense (an increase of
$192,000 or 8.1% of sales).

The decrease in direct costs expense was largely due to a decrease in direct
materials and outside services expense. The decrease from $1,442,000 or 23.7% of
sales for the three months ended February 28, 1998 to $706,000 or 13.9% of sales
for the three months ended February 28, 1999. This decrease was largely a result
of the Company upgrading its machining capability during fiscal 1998 for the
purpose of reducing the future expense of outsource machining. During fiscal
1998, the Company had reduced it's existing machining capacity in that certain
machining centers were taken out-of-service during these upgrades. As a result,
it temporarily reduced the Company's machining capacity and the Company was
required to outsource more of its machining. Those machining centers taken
out-of-service during fiscal 1998, were in-service during the first six months
of 1999 and reduced outsource machining expense from $310,000 for the three
months ended February 28, 1998 to $39,000 for the three months ended February
28, 1999. Direct labor expense was $831,000 or 16.4% of sales for the three
months ended February 28, 1999 as compared to $1,289,000 or 21.1% of sales for
the three months ended February 28, 1998. Direct materials expense decreased
from $952,000 for the three months ended February 28, 1998 to $436,000 for the
three months ended February 28, 1999.


Manufacturing overhead expense increased from $1,299,000 or 21.3% of sales for
thee three months ended February 28, 1998 to $1,491,000 or 29.4% of sales for
the three months ended February 28, 1999. The largest increase in the first
three months of 1999 as compared to 1998 was the increase of $97,000 in
depreciation expense. This increase in depreciation expense was due to the
Company's capital expansion program, which resulted in a $4.7 million increase
in property, plant and equipment as of February 28, 1999 as compared to February
28, 1998. Other manufacturing overhead expense increases include; a $19,000
increase in indirect labor, a $14,000 increase in manufacturing supplies, a
$33,000 increase in property tax expense, a $43,000 increase in health insurance
expense, and a $15,000 decrease in perishable tooling expense. Decreases in
manufacturing overhead expense for the three months ended February 28, 1999, as
compared to the comparable period for 1998, include; a $16,000 decrease in
payroll tax expense and a $4,000 decrease in maintenance supplies expense.


S,G & A EXPENSES - Selling, general and administrative expenses remained
consistent at $.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 1999 and

Michigan Single Business Tax. As a percentage of sales, general and
administrative expenses were 8.3% for the three months ended February 28, 1999
as compared to 8.0% for the three months ended February 28, 1998.

February 28, 1998 to approximately $129,000 for the three months ended February
28, 1999. Increase in sales expense include a $60,000 increase in salaries and

in sales expense include a $6,000 decrease in commissions expense and travel
related expenses of $2,000.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the three months ended February 28, 1999
was approximately $109,000 as compared to approximately $130,000 for the three
months ended February 28, 1998. As a percentage of sales, interest expense
increased from 2.1% for the three months ended February 28, 1998 to 2.2% for the
three months ended February 28, 1999.

The decrease in interest expense was a result of the Company's lower interest
rates from prime rate during the three months ended February 28, 1998 to one
quarter below prime rate for the three months ended February 28, 1999. During
the second quarter ended February 28, 1999, the Company capitalized
approximately $153,000 of interest on its construction in process. As of
February 28, 1999, the Company had approximately $9.5 million of construction in
process. Lastly, debt levels as of February 28, 1999 were higher than as of
February 28, 1998 by $3.8 million. The increase in debt was a result of higher
work-in-process balances and related working capital line financing as well as
term financing incurred to support the Company's construction in process.


COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 1999 TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1998

REVENUES -- Revenues for the six months ended February 28, 1999 totaled $10.6
million as compared to $11.5 million for the six months ended February 28, 1998,
a decrease of $.9 million or 8%. Under the Company's percentage of completion
method of recording contracts in process, revenue is recognized as costs are
incurred on such contracts. As a result of the Company experiencing less direct
material expense, outside machining expense and direct labor expense on
contracts in process during the first and second quarters of 1999, the Company
recorded lower revenue as compared to the comparable quarters in 1998, however
these lower costs should improve margins of such contracts.


COST OF SALES -- Cost of sales decreased from $8.7 million for the six months
ended February 28, 1998 to $7.7 million for the six months ended February 28,
1999. As a percent of revenue, cost of sales for the six months ended February
28, 1998 was 74.7% compared to 72.0% for the six months ended February 28, 1999.
The improved gross margin was largely due to decreases in the Company's direct
cost expense of $1,297,000 and engineering expenses of $10,000, whereas
manufacturing overhead expenses increased by $344,000.

 The decrease in direct cost expense was largely due to a decrease in direct
materials and outside services expense. Outside service expense decreased from
$1,045,000 for the six months ended February 28, 1998 to $481,000 for the six
months ended February 28, 1999. This decrease was largely a result of the
Company upgrading its machining capability during fiscal 1998 for the purpose of
reducing the future expense of outsource machining. During fiscal 1998, the
Company had reduced its' existing machining capacity in that certain machining
centers were taken out-of-service during these upgrades. As a result, it
temporarily reduced the Company's machining capacity and the Company was
required to outsource more of its machining. Those machining centers taken
out-of-service during fiscal 1998, were in-service during the first six months
of 1999 and reduced outsource machining expense from $618,000 for the six months
ended February 28, 1998 to $71,000 for the six months ended February 28, 1999.
Direct labor expense was $1,900,000 or 17.9% of sales for the six months ended

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
The Company has reviewed its computer technology in order to ensure year 2000
compliance. The Company primarily utilizes computer technology in its CAD
design, Numerically Controlled programming and its manufacturing information
systems.

The Company has recently replaced and upgraded both its CAD design and
Numerically Controlled programming computer systems. Although both these systems
are not date sensitive, these new systems are year 2000 compliant. The
manufacturing information systems utilize computer software which can be
upgraded to eliminate any timing issues. In addition, the cost of such upgrades
are covered under maintenance contracts with the respective software vendors.
Management believes any other associated costs of such upgrades would be
insignificant. All of the Company's computer hardware equipment appears to be
able to integrate any software upgrades necessary in order to be year 2000
compliant. Moreover, the Company continues to review for any year 2000
compliance issues that customers or suppliers may encounter with their own
systems. Management believes that any customer or supplier year 2000 issues will
not be relevant to the Company's operations or to its interaction with such
persons.
