EQUITY INVESTMENT

To enhance its strategic position in the European marketplace, in April 1996
the Company acquired a 47% interest in Mastervolt, a Dutch manufacturer of
power inverters and battery chargers for the marine and industrial markets,
for $2,363,000 in cash.  The Company has advanced $329,000 to this affiliate for
working capital.  The investment is being accounted for using the equity
method.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION

In July 1996, the Company purchased 7% of the stock of Atlantic Guest Inc.
(Guest), from two officers of the subsidiary, increasing its ownership interest
to 93%.  The Company purchased 3.5% from each officer for cash of $75,250 and
forgiveness of $75,250 on each officer's note.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                               September 30, 1996

Any forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion or
elsewhere in this document involve risks and uncertainties which may cause
actual results to differ materially from those discussed.  A wide range of
factors could contribute to those differences, including but not limited to
general business conditions; actions of competitors; changes in laws and
regulations, including changes in accounting standards; inventory risks due to
shifts in market demand and/or product mix; price volatility in the cost of
purchased components; and the risk factors listed from time to time in the
Company's SEC reports.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During the first nine months of 1996, the Company's cash flow from operations
($5.0 million) and net borrowings on its bank line of credit ($.3 million) were
used to fund investments in property, plant, and equipment ($2.8 million,
including the investment of 1.1 million in operating facilities) and make
principal payments on long-term debt ($1.2 million).  The Company acquired a
47% interest in Mastervolt,a Dutch marine products manufacturer 
($2.4 million), and advanced them $.3 million funded principally by
borrowings on its advanceable term loan

In January 1995, the Company sold a constructed operating facility for $2.8
million and repaid the related construction loan of $1.6 million.

Management believes that cash flow from operations and bank borrowings will be
adequate to meet the Company's working capital needs for the remainder of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES AND RELATED COSTS

Consolidated revenues increased $1.3 million (7%) in the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 over the same quarter in the prior year, with the
recreational products segment increasing 7% and the industrial products segment
increasing 8%.  Revenues for the first nine months of 1996 increased $3.8
million (7%) to $60.5 million, with the recreational products segment up 6% and
the industrial products segment up 7% over the first nine months of 1995.

Gross profits for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased $.4 million (6%) and $1.3 million (6%), respectively, over the
comparable periods in 1995.  These increases were primarily attributable to the
industrial products segment offset somewhat by decreases in the recreational
products segment, which has been adversely affected by various factors,
including product mix, new product introductions, and pricing pressures.
The consolidated gross profit margin percentage for the quarter decreased .6%
from 39.1% in 1995 to 38.5% 1996 and for the nine-month period decreased from
39.5% in 1995 to 39.1% in 1996.

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses increased $396 thousand (7%)
for the quarter and $1.4 million (8%) for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 over the same periods in the prior year.  Selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales remained the same at approximately 31% for
the third quarters of 1995 and 1996, and approximately 30% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Manufacturing.
