     at fair value in the Company's financial statements. 

     DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS - Property is depreciated generally
     as follows: 

     ASSETS               DEPRECIATION METHOD               LIVES
     ------               -------------------               -----
     Buildings            Straight-line and
                          declining balance             10 - 20 years

     Machinery and
     equipment            Declining-balance              7 - 10 years

     Furniture and
     fixtures             Declining-balance               5 - 7 years

     Trucks and
     automobiles          Declining-balance               3 - 5 years

     Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and
     betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
     service lives. The applicable property accounts are relieved of the cost
     and related accumulated depreciation upon disposition. Gains or losses are
     recognized at the time of disposal. 

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales and related cost of sales are recognized
     primarily upon shipment of products. 

     CASH EQUIVALENTS - For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the
     Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity
     of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
                                   (UNAUDITED)



     EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earning per share have been computed on the weighted
     average number of shares outstanding (816,000 shares). 

     COMPANY REPRESENTATION - In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
     unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
     normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
     position as of April 30, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows
     for the nine month periods ended April 30, 1996 and 1995. The results of
     operations for the periods ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 


     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles have been omitted. The Company suggests that these condensed
     financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
     and notes included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended
     July 31, 1995. 

2.   CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     INVESTMENTS - During the year ended July 31, 1995 the Company adopted the
     provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,
     Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The
     adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no effect on the 1995 financial statements. 

3.   LEASE RECEIVABLE

     On May 26, 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement with another
     manufacturer to lease equipment at 8% interest for a sixty-month period.
     The total minimum lease payments are $61,589 and the unearned income is
     $32,804 at April 30, 1996. These amounts are shown on a net basis for
     financial statement purposes. 

4.   EPA PROJECT COSTS

     In February, 1991, the Company was served with a complaint from the United
     States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which contained eight counts
     of alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976
     and the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. The complaint alleges,
     among other things, that the Company has failed to adequately test and
     properly transport certain residue of hazardous wastes which it was
     treating at its facility. The Company entered into a Consent Agreement and
     Consent Order with the EPA, dated May 6, 1994, which provides for
     settlement of this complaint.

     This settlement calls for payment of a civil penalty of $32,955, and for
     the completion of certain remedial projects, estimated to cost
     approximately $149,725. Total costs paid as of July 31, 1995 are $90,113.
     The remaining amount of $59,612 has been recorded in the accompanying
     financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Sales for the third quarter, 1996 were 27% higher than for the third
          quarter a year ago. The sales increase was led by sales of
          transmission assemblies and electric fuel pumps. Transmission unit
          sales were 923 units this year compared to 709 units the third quarter
          last year. Electric fuel pump unit sales increased to 3734 units from
          1480 units sold the third quarter last year. 

          The 77% increase in income from operations was due to increased sales
          and to successful production cost cutting efforts. 

          Cash and cash equivalents were about $800,000 higher than at the
          beginning of the fiscal year. This increase is due to increased
          earnings, reduced income tax payments due to credits from prior years,
          and investment in inventories a year ago. Inventories, accounts
          receivable, and accounts payable remained within normal business
          fluctuations. 

PART II

Item 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

          With respect to the Supplemental Environmental Project (the "SEP")
          being performed by the Company pursuant to the May 6, 1994 Consent
          Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency
          ("EPA"), the Company has paid total costs of $90,113 for work
          performed. No further direction has been received from the EPA
          regarding any testing or clean-up that may be required for
          contamination found in the large pit after the sludge was removed. No
          estimate of these costs can be made at this time. If the EPA
          determines that no further work is required under the SEP, the Company
          will owe a deferred penalty of approximately $32,955 under the terms
          of the Consent Agreement with the EPA.

          Please refer to the Part I, Item 3 of the Form 10-KSB report for the
          Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 1995 for further discussion of
          this matter.

Item 5.   OTHER INFORMATION:

          On April 29, 1996, the production employees ratified a new three year
          collective bargaining agreement. This agreement was subsequently
          signed, and went into effect May 5, 1996. This agreement provides for
          wage increases of 2.5%, 2.6% and 2.7% respectively at the beginning of
          each year of the agreement. Other changes were not significant. 

Item 6.   EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K:

          (a) Exhibits:      NONE
                             ------
          (b) Reports on Form 8-K:

              quarter for which this report is filed.
