COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1999.

REVENUES - Revenues for the three months ended February 29, 2000 totaled $5.2
million as compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended February 28,
1999, a increase of $0.1 million or 2%. During the second quarter of 2000 the
Company realized operating margins on jobs shipped of approximately $206,000 as
compared to $765,440 during the second quarter of 1999. In addition, the Company
increased its jobs with losses in estimated gross profit from $145,169 as of
November 30, 1999 to $508,664 as of February 29, 2000. These items


                                       9.
<PAGE>   10

combined negatively impacted revenues for the second quarter of 2000 by
approximately $923,000.

Prior to fiscal 2000, the Company was constrained in revenue growth due to
limited manufacturing capacity. This constraint was alleviated by the Company's
$10.6 million engineering and manufacturing capital expansion, which was
completed in August 1999. The Company has since been marketing this additional
capacity to its customers. Due to the fact that the contracts the Company
receives are long-term in nature, the marketing efforts have not yet generated
additional revenues. However, recently awarded contracts to the Company have
resulted in a record backlog, which will be recorded as revenue in the remainder
of fiscal year 2000 and in fiscal year 2001. Management continues to believe
additional growth opportunities exist and the Company will continue to be
successful in securing additional volume utilizing the increased manufacturing
capacity. Additionally, certain labor and interest costs incurred in fiscal 1999
were required to be capitalized as part of the capital expansion, which in the
first and second quarters and throughout the remainder of fiscal 2000 will
negatively impact the comparative results of operations. The Company continues
to expect the increase in revenue and gross profit to more than offset the
depreciation and interest expense resulting from the engineering and
manufacturing capital expansion.


COST OF SALES - Cost of sales were $5.2 million or 99.5% of sales for the three
months ended February 29, 2000 as compared to $3.4 million or 67.8% of sales for
the three months ended February 28, 1999.

The gross margin decrease was largely due to increases in the Company's direct
costs expense of $1,388,000 or 26.2% of sales, primarily due to negative
adjustments in the expected gross margin on certain contracts and significant
increases in outside machining and overtime expenses, and $301,000 or 5.8% in
manufacturing overhead expense.

The increase in direct cost expense was primarily due to an increase of $799,000
in labor expense for the three months ended February 28, 2000 over the same
period last year. The increase in labor was due to the Company incurring more
labor hours, at overtime rates, during the quarter ended February 29, 2000 over
the same period last year, necessary to process the Company's additional
backlog. Additionally, during the quarter ended February 28, 1999 the Company
had direct labor personnel involved in completing the manufacturing expansion
and accordingly such labor was capitalized as a part of the expansion. During
the quarter ended February 29, 2000, the amount of such capitalized labor was
lower in comparison to the previous comparable quarter and resulted in the labor
expense increase this quarter.

Direct materials and outside services increased by $589,000 for the quarter
ended February 29, 2000 over the same period last year. The largest increase was
in outside machining, an increase of $388,000, resulting from the Company's
product mix during the second quarter. This product mix created machining
requirements beyond the Company's capacity and resulted in outsourcing some
machining requirements. Services purchased increased by $127,000 for the quarter
ended February 29, 2000 over the same period last year. This increase was
largely due to the increased shipping costs resulting from shipping dies to and
from a certain customer facilities.

Manufacturing overhead expense increased from $1,491,000 or 29.4% of sales for
the three months ended February 28, 1999 to $1,792,000 or 34.6% of sales for the
three months ended February 29, 2000. This change was due to increases in
depreciation expense, perishable tooling costs, machinery repairs and
maintenance, and medical insurance premiums.


SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling and administrative expenses
increased from approximately $551,000 or 10.9% of sales for the three months


                                      10.

<PAGE>   11

ended February 28, 1999 to approximately $778,000 or 15.0% of sales for the
three months ended February 29, 2000. This increase was due to State of Michigan
Single Business Tax obligation increases, additional salaries expenses and
increased legal and professional expenses.


INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the three months ended February 29, 2000
was approximately $204,000 as compared to approximately $109,000 for the same
period last year. As a percentage of sales, interest expense increased from 2.2%
in the quarter ended February 28, 1999 as compared to 3.9% for the quarter ended
February 29, 2000.

The increase in interest expense was a result of the Company capitalizing
$153,000 of interest on its construction in process during the quarter ended
February 28, 1999.



COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000 TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 1999


REVENUES - Revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2000 totaled $11.0
million as compared to $10.6 million for the six months ended February 28, 1999,
a increase of $0.4 million or 3.7%. During the six months ended February 29,
2000 the Company realized operating margins on jobs shipped of approximately
$277,000 as compared to $484,000 during the first six months of 1999. In
addition, the Company increased it's jobs with losses in estimated gross profit
from $60,912 as of August 31, 1999 to $508,664 as of February 29, 2000, for a
negative impact of revenue of $447,752. This compares to a decrease in its jobs
with losses in estimated gross profit from $309,565 as of August 31, 1998 to
$90,295 as of February 28, 1999, for a positive impact on revenue of $219,270.
These items combined negatively impacted revenues for the six months ended
February 29, 2000 by approximately $874,000.


COST OF SALES - Cost of sales were $9.8 million or 88.9% of sales for the six
months ended February 29, 2000 as compared to $7.7 million or 72.0% of sales for
the six months ended February 28, 1999.

The gross margin decrease was largely due to increases in the Company's direct
costs expense of $1,728,000 or 15.7% of sales and $371,000 or 2.3% in
manufacturing overhead expense offset by the minor increase in revenue growth
during the six months ended February 29, 2000.

The increase in direct cost expense was primarily due to an increase of
$1,176,000 in labor expense for the six months ended February 28, 2000 over the
same period last year. The increase in labor was due to the Company incurring
more labor hours during the six months ended February 29, 2000 over the same
period last year. Additionally, during the six months ended February 28, 1999
the Company had direct labor personnel involved in completing the manufacturing
expansion and accordingly, such labor was capitalized as a part of the
expansion. During the six months ended February 29, 2000, the amount of such
capitalized labor was lower in comparison to the previous comparable quarters
and resulted in the labor expense increase this year.

Direct materials and outside services increased by $552,000 for the six months
ended February 29, 2000 over the same period last year. The largest increase was
in outside machining, an increase of $583,000, resulting from the Company's
product mix during the six months ended February 29, 2000. This product mix
created machining requirements beyond the Company's capacity and resulted in
outsourcing some machining requirements. Services purchased increased by
$473,000 for the six months ended February 29, 2000 over the same



                                      11.

period last year. This increase was largely due to the increased shipping
requirements to and from certain customers.

Manufacturing overhead expense increased from $2,971,000 or 27.9% of sales for
the six months ended February 28, 1999 to $3,342,000 or 30.3% of sales for the
six months ended February 29, 2000. The largest increase was $162,000 in
depreciation expense, as a result of the Company's recent capital expansion
program. Other increases included additional perishable tooling expense,
machinery repairs and maintenance expenses, medical insurance premiums expenses
and payroll tax expenses.


SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling and administrative expenses
increased from approximately $986,000 or 9.3% of sales for the six months ended
February 28, 1999 to approximately $1,233,000 or 11.1% of sales for the six
months ended February 29, 2000. This increase was due to additional State of
Michigan Single Business Tax obligations, salaries and wages expenses and legal
and professional expenses.


INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the six months ended February 29, 2000
was approximately $408,000 as compared to approximately $232,000 for the same
period last year. As a percentage of sales, interest expense increased from 2.2%
for the six months ended February 28, 1999 as compared to 3.7% for the six
months ended February 29, 2000.

The increase in interest expense was a result of the Company capitalizing
$274,000 of interest on its construction in process during the six months ended
February 28, 1999.


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The effective federal income tax rate was 34% for the six months ended February
29, 2000 as compared to 31.1% for the same period last year. As of August 31,
1999, the Company had approximately $187,000 of alternative minimum tax credits
that do not expire.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended February 29, 2000, the Company's cash used in
operating activities was $492,887. The Company invested in additional machinery
and equipment of $869,083 and reduced its long-term debt obligations by
$877,432. The Company financed these activities by borrowing $2,229,300 on its
revolving bank working capital credit line. The Company believes that the unused
portion of the revolving bank working capital credit line and the funds
generated from operations will be sufficient to cover anticipated cash needs
through fiscal 2000. However, depending on the level of future sales, an
expanded credit line may be necessary to finance increases in trade accounts
receivable and contracts in process. The Company believes it will be able to
obtain such expanded credit line, if required, on generally the same terms as
the existing credit line.
