statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30, 1995 and 1994 have
been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management,

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working capital at November 30, 1995 was $6,120,169, an increase of $325,202
from May 31, 1995. Cash and cash equivalents increased $89,869 during the
six-month period ended November 30, 1995. Cash was used to fund normal
working capital requirements, including acquisition of property, plant and
equipment additions, payment of dividends and payment of matured accounts
payable and accrued liabilities. Accounts receivable decreased $147,841
primarily due to the timing of shipments during the quarter. Inventories
increased $191,785 primarily to meet increased sales. Accounts payable and
accrued liabilities decreased $28,467 primarily due to payment of normal
maturities and accrued expenses during the six-month period.
The current ratio at November 30, 1995 is 4.5 to 1 (4 to 1 at May 31, 1995).
Total liabilities to assets equals twenty percent (twenty-two percent at May
31, 1995).
The Company factors its accounts receivable with a commercial factor on a
matured basis. (Funds are remitted by the factor upon maturity of the
invoices, plus a set number of collection days). The factor establishes a
credit line per customer on a non-recourse basis. Credit extended by the
company in excess of the credit line is factored on a recourse basis (946,000
at November 30, 1995-$614,000 at May 31, 1995).
Capital acquisition and improvement expenditures totaled $229,071 during the
six-month period ended November 30, 1995. It is estimated that approximately
$50,000 additional capital expenditures will be made over the next two
quarters, consisting primarily of equipment and improvements to existing
facilities. Funding will come from cash flows generated through operating
activities. No significant disposition of equipment occurred during the six-
month period ended November 30, 1995, and none is planned during the next
three-month period. In November 1995 a building, carried in the balance
sheet as property, plant and equipment not used in operations was sold for
$250,000 from which a gain of $95,154 after taxes was realized.
The Company does not offer a retirement plan nor offer post retirement or
employment benefits. Accordingly, there will be no impact on the Company due
to SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions" and SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for Post Employment Benefits".
Based on current operations and internally generated cash flows, management
believes that adequate resources will be available to meet current and future
liquidity requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the second quarter and six-month periods ended November 30,
1995 increased approximately five and six-tenths of one percent and five and
one-half of one percent, respectively, in each period compared to the 1994
second quarter and six-month periods. Net sales for the second quarter ended
November 30, 1995 increased approximately two and three-tenths of one percent
over the preceding first quarter. The increases resulted primarily from a
slightly stronger product demand and a broadened market base.
Cost of sales, as a percentage relationship to net sales for the second
quarter ended November 30, 1995, decreased approximately one and six-tenths
of one percent from the second quarter ended November 30, 1994 and
approximately six percent from the preceding first quarter ended August 31,
1995. For the six-month period ended November 30, 1995, the cost of sales
percentage relationship to net sales decreased approximately two-tenths of
one percent compared to the 1994 six-month period. The percentage decreases
resulted primarily from a change in product sales mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month and six-
month periods ended November 30, 1995, as a percentage relationship to net
sales, increased approximately eight-tenths of one percent and decreased
four-tenths of one percent, respectively, compared to the 1994 three-month
and six-month periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage relationship to net sales, were approximately five percent higher
in the 1995 second quarter compared to the first quarter. The percentage
increases resulted primarily from higher selling and marketing expenses. The
provision for bad debt expense was $45,000, in the 1995 and 1994 six-month
periods.
Other income in the 1995 three-month and six-month periods decreased
approximately thirty percent and forty-three percent, respectively, in both
periods over the 1994 comparable periods. Other income increased
approximately forty-five percent in the 1995 second quarter compared to the
first quarter. The increase and decreases all resulted primarily from rental
income from property not used in operations.
Interest income in the three-month periods ended November 30, 1995 decreased
approximately forty-four percent and sixty-one percent, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1994. Interest income increased
approximately one hundred twenty-two percent in the 1995 second quarter
compared to the first quarter. The changes are primarily due to changes in
average cash balances.
Interest expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30,
1995 increased approximately one hundred ninety-six percent and one hundred
twenty-five percent, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1994. The
increases resulted primarily from higher factor interest costs on recourse
accounts receivable. Interest expense in the 1995 second quarter increased
approximately thirty-six percent from the first quarter. The increases
resulted primarily from higher factor interest costs on recourse accounts
receivable.
The federal income tax provision effective tax rate of 35 percent differs
from the statutory rate (34 percent) as a result of nondeductible life
insurance premiums, nondeductible portion of meals, accelerated depreciation,
capitalization of certain expenses in inventories and the difference between
the doubtful account reserve and write-off.
