</TABLE>


Three Months Ended September 30, 2000,  compared to three months ended September
30, 1999

Net Sales. Net Sales increased approximately $8,000 to approximately $13,147,000
for the third quarter 2000 compared to  approximately  $13,139,000  in the third
quarter  1999.

Cost  of  Sales.   Cost  of  Sales  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  increased
approximately  1.4% for the third quarter  2000, at 75.4%  compared to 74.0% for
the third quarter 1999. Actual cost of sales increased from  approximately  $9.7
million for the third quarter 1999 to  approximately  $9.9 million for the third
quarter 2000. The employee turnover  continues to require training and continues
to result  in some  inefficiencies  in the  manufacturing  process.  Some of the
inefficiencies have resulted in higher cost of indirect labor, parts loss due to
poor  quality  and higher  supervision  cost due to the added night  shift.  The
employee benefit costs have also increased, largely due to increased health care
costs. In the third quarter, the Company agreed to absorb approximately $460,000
more in increased health care costs rather than raise employee premiums.



                                     - 7 -

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   General   and
Administrative Expenses increased for the third quarter of 2000 by approximately
$174,000.  As a  percent  of net  sales,  Selling,  General  and  Administrative
Expenses  increased from 14.9% for the third quarter 1999 to 16.2% for the third
quarter  2000.  Most of the  increase  was due to  higher  cost of bad  debt and
professional fees.

Net Income.  As a result of the above factors,  net income for the third quarter
declined 28.8% to  approximately  $0.6 million in 2000 compared to approximately
$0.9 million in 1999.


Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1999

Net Sales Net sales remained about the same at approximately $42,771,000 for the
first nine months of 2000  compared to  approximately  $42,817,000  in the first
nine months of 1999.

Cost of Sales. Total cost of sales increased  approximately $1.3 million for the
first nine months of 2000.  As a percent of net sales,  cost of sales  increased
from 72.7% in the first nine  months of 1999 to 75.7% for the first nine  months
of 2000.  Material  cost and direct labor cost remained  approximately  the same
while  indirect  cost  increased  approximately  $1.6  million.   Indirect  cost
increased  primarily  due to continued  employee  turnover in a very tight labor
market, this has resulted in some  inefficiencies in the manufacturing  process,
higher supervision costs, increased health care costs, and higher indirect labor
costs.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses  remained  approximately  the same for the  first  nine
months of 2000 as  compared  to the  first  nine  months of 1999.  Only a slight
increase  from 15.3% in the first nine months of 1999 to 15.4% in the first nine
months of 2000.

Net Income. As a result of the above factors,  the net income for the first nine
months of 2000 was approximately  $2.3 million.  This is approximately  $871,000
less than 1999's first nine months income of approximately $3.2 million.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources.  The most  noticeable  change in the Company
liquidity was the increase in receivables and inventory  resulting in a decrease
in cash. Current ratio was 6.2 to 1 for the first nine months of 2000,  compared
to 5.9 to 1 for the same nine months in 1999.  The liquid ratio was 1.9 to 1 for
the first nine  months of 2000 and for the first nine  months of 1999 was 2.1 to
1. Expenditures on capital assets was up approximately  $753,000, a 55% increase
over  the  first  nine  months  of  1999;  this was  mostly  due to a  warehouse
constructed at the Company's New Salisbury location.
