liability decreased by 25.7% for the six month comparison.

* Less than 1%.

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

Net Sales. Net sales decreased approximately $0.8 million to approximately $14.9
million for the second quarter 2000 compared to  approximately  $15.7 million in
the second  quarter  1999.  The firm order backlog was reduced $0.5 million from
$6.0 million June 30, 1999 to $5.5 million June 30, 2000.

Cost  of  Sales.   Cost  of  sales  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  increased
approximately  3.8% for the second  quarter 2000 at 75.2%  compared to 71.4% for
the second quarter 1999. Actual cost of sales remained the same at approximately
$11.2 million for the second quarter 1999 to approximately  $11.2 milion for the
second 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
costs.

                                       7

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative   expenses   decreased   for  the  second   quarter  of  2000  by
approximately  $0.1  million.  As a percent of net sales,  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  decreased  from 15.3% for the second  quarter  1999 to
15.2%  for the  second  quarter  2000.  Most of the  reduction  was due to lower
advertising  costs. The Company plans to reduce advertising for the remainder of
2000.

NetIncome.  As a result of the above factors,  net income for the second quarter
declined 31.0% to  approximately  $0.9 million in 2000 compared to approximately
$1.3 million in 1999.

Six  Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

Net Sales. Net sales remained about the same at $29.6 million for the first half
of 2000 compared to $29.7 million in the first half of 1999.

Cost of Sales. Total cost of sales increased  approximately $1.1 million for the
first  half of 2000.  As a percent of net sales,  cost of sales  increased  from
72.2% in the first  half of 1999 to 75.9% for the first  half of 2000.  Material
cost and direct labor cost  remained  about the same while fixed cost  increased
approximately  $0.4  million and  variable  cost  increased  approximately  $0.8
million.  As mentioned  earlier,  employee turnover  continues to result in some
inefficiencies in the manufacturing process.

Selling,   General   and   Administrative   Expenses.   Selling,   general   and
administrative  expenses  decreased  approximately  $138,000  for the  first six
months of 2000 as  compared  to the first  six  months of 1999.  This was a 0.5%
decrease  as a percent  of net  sales,  decreasing  from  15.4% in the first six
months of 1999 to 14.9% in the first six  months of 2000.  Costs  that have been
reduced are advertising, legal fees and upgrading the information system.

Net Income.  As a result of the above factors,  the net income for the first six
months of 2000 was approximately  $1.7 million.  This is approximately  $622,000
less than 1999's first half net income of approximately $2.3 million.

Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources.  There  was  no  significant  change  in the
Company's liquidity.  The most noticeable change was the increase in receivables
and  inventory  causing a decrease in cash on hand.  Working  capital  increased
12.5%  from  approximately  $24.2  million  in the first  six  months of 1999 to
approximately  $24.5 million for the first six months of 2000. Current ratio was
6.6 to 1 for the first six months of 2000, compared to 5.9 to 1 for the same six
months in 1999.  The liquid  ratio was 2.3 to 1 for the first six months of 2000
and for the  first  six  months of 1999 was 2.3 to 1.  Expenditures  on  capital
assets was up approximately  $550,000,  a 75% increase over the first six months
of 1999.
