              NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


 1.  The balance sheet as of October 31, 1995, the statements of operations
     for the three and six months ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
     statements of cash flows for the six months ended October 31, 1995 and
     1994 have been prepared by the Company, without audit. In the opinion
     of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
     adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, the
     results of operations and cash flows at October 31, 1995 and all periods
     presented have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
     that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and notes thereto included in the Company's April 30, 1995
     annual report to stockholders.  Seasonality is not a major factor in the
     Company's operations.  The results of operations for the three and six
     month periods ended October 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
     those for a full fiscal year.

 2.  Inventories consist of raw materials and manufacturing supplies at
     October 31, 1995 and April 30, 1995.

 3.  Amounts per share have been computed using the weighted average number
     of common shares outstanding during each period.  No effect has been
     given to shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options as their effect
     would be antidilutive.

 4.  There was no benefit for income taxes in the three and six month periods
     ended October 31, 1995 and 1994, as the loss generated cannot be carried
     back to offset income in prior years.

     The Company has operating loss carryovers and investment tax credit
     carryforwards for tax return purposes of approximately $5,600,000 and
     $104,000 respectively, expiring in 1996 through 2009.

     The tax effects of temporary differences giving rise to the Company's
     deferred tax assets at October 31, 1995 are as follows :

         Net operating loss carryforward          $2,170,000
         Investment tax credit carryforward          104,000
         Other reserves and liabilities              153,000
                                                  ----------
                                                   2,427,000
         Valuation allowance                       2,427,000
                                                  ----------
                                                  $    ---
                                                  ==========

     Due to the Company's cumulative losses, management does not consider
     that enough support to overcome the "more likely than not" criteria
     existed at October 31, 1995 to record a deferred tax asset.  As a result,
     for financial reporting purposes, deferred tax assets are fully reduced
     by a valuation allowance.

 5.  As of October 31, 1995 the Company was in default of the debt to worth
     covenant in its line of credit agreement with its bank.  The bank waived
     this default.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                   CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:


 Sales for the three and six months ended October 31, 1995 decreased 16.1% 
 and 5.2% respectively from the comparable periods of last year.  Revenue
 from sales of transfer balls and spare parts for the three months ended
 October 31, 1995 compared to 1994 declined approximately $780,000 and
 $64,000 respectively, which was partially offset by an increase in project
 revenues of approximately $452,600.  Gross profit percentages for the three
 and six months ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 were 5.6%, 11.0%, 17.0% and
 16.2% respectively.  The decrease in gross margins in 1995 were primarily
 due to (i) a decline in sales of transfer balls and spare parts which have
 a higher gross profit percentage than projects, and (ii) cost overruns in
 the three months ended October 31, 1995 for a project that represented
 approximately 27% of such revenues.  This project was completed in November
 1995.

 The Company reduced its selling and administrative expenses, primarily
 payroll and related costs.


 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

 The Company's working capital decreased $385,460 in the first six months of
 fiscal 1996.  The Company's backlog at October 31, 1995 was approximately
 $4.9 million.  The Company is exploring various ways to obtain additional
 working capital during the second half of 1996 in order to meet its future
 financing needs.  This can be accomplished by profitable operations, or the
 sale of certain product lines. Though the current backlog is good and there
 is interested parties exploring the purchase of certain product lines there
 is no assurance that the Company will obtain additional working capital
 during the second half of 1996. It is the Company's practice to have its
 subcontractors subject to the same payment terms as the Company has with its
 customer. Thus portions of the Company's sales contracts are financed by its
 subcontractors and not the Company.
