NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JULY 31, 1996


NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ------------------------------

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
reporting  and with the  instructions  to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included.  Operating  results for the three month period ended July 31, 1996 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  January 31,  1997.  For further  information,  refer to the  consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual
report on form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1996.

NOTE B - SALE OF ORDNANCE ASSETS
- --------------------------------

On July 10, 1996,  the Company  finalized the sale of the assets of the ordnance
division for  $1,700,000 in cash;  the proceeds of which were  partially used to
pay down  long  term  debt,  with  the  balance  being  invested  in  marketable
securities.  For the second quarter,  the company recorded a $41,000 gain on the
sale of the Ordnance Division assets.

NOTE C - INCREASED AVAILABILITY UNDER SHORT TERM BORROWINGS
- -----------------------------------------------------------

On July 15,  1996,  the Company  was granted a $500,000  increase on its line of
credit,  taking  the  total to  $2,000,000.  The  terms  of the  line of  credit
arrangement  are comparable to the terms that had governed the Company's  credit
facility prior to the increase.  As of July 31, 1996, the outstanding balance on
the line of credit was $1,250,000.

NOTE D - FINALIZATION OF THE SENSONICS SETTLEMENT
- -------------------------------------------------

During the first  quarter  ended  April 30,  1996,  the  Company  finalized  the
settlement  of the  lawsuit  with  Sensonics,  Inc.,  the  details  of which are
reflected  in  the  10-Q  report,   dated  April  30,  1996.  Reflected  in  the

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULT OF OPERATIONS

Net sales  for the  three  months  ended  July 31,  1996  ("fiscal  1997")  were
$5,710,000  as compared to $4,767,000  for the same period last year.  Net sales
for the six  months  ended  July 31,  1996  increased  by 9% to  $10,699,000  as
compared to $9,800,000  for the same period last year.  Included in prior year's
sales  was a  $292,000  settlement  for  "Termination  for  convenience  of  the
Government".

The Avionics Specialties Division sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1996 were
$2,761,000,  an 11% increase over the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The
Clearwater  Instrument  Division  sales  for the  quarter  ended  July 31,  1996
increased by 16% to $2,319,000. Net sales for the six months ended July 31, 1996
for  the  Avionics  and  Clearwater   Instrument  Division  combined  showed  an
improvement  of 8%, or $744,000,  over the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Ordnance sales  represented  $958,000 of the net sales figure for the six months
ended July 31, 1996 as compared to $833,000  during the same period in the prior
fiscal year.  However,  the Ordnance  Division had an overall negative impact on
the profitability of the company as the market slowed in that product line. .

Gross profit as a percentage  of net sales  improved in both the second  quarter
and the six months ended July 31, 1996 as compared to their  respective  periods
in the prior fiscal  year.  The  improvement  is largely  attributed  to Company
management's  shift of focus away from  Ordnance  manufacturing  and towards the
instrument  product line,  its core business  line. As a result of that shift of
focus,  Company  management  has  reengineered  and  streamlined  the instrument
manufacturing process, including addressing permanent price increases on certain
instrument lines, which were implemented in the second quarter.

Reflective of the Company's continued  philosophy towards  controlling  indirect
costs, selling,  general and administrative expenses continued to show a decline
in both  whole  dollars  and as a  percentage  of net  sales in both the  second
quarter and the six months  ended July 31, 1996 as compared to their  respective
periods in the prior fiscal year. Nonrecurring indirect costs for the six months
ended July 31, 1996 consist of the  provision  for the  settlement of the patent
infringement  lawsuit  with  Sensonics,  Inc.  The total cost for the  Sensonics
settlement in FY `97 equals  $225,000,  which was expensed in the first quarter;
the terms of the settlement  were outlined in the 10-Q dated April 30, 1996. The
second  quarter  earnings  include  a $41,000  gain on the sale of the  Ordnance
Division assets, which occurred in July 1996.

The  Company  recorded  a net profit for the  quarter of  $232,000,  or $.06 per
share.  Through the six months ended July 31, 1996,  the company  recorded a net
profit of $47,000, or $.01 per share,  inclusive of the $41,000 gain on the sale
of the Ordnance  Division and despite the $225,000  charge against first quarter
earnings for the settlement of the Sensonics suit.

<PAGE>

Working  capital  increased by $1,522,000  to  $7,329,000  during the six months
ended July 31, 1996. The improvement was largely due to the cash provided by the
sale of the  Ordnance  Division,  reduction in the  litigation  accrual and debt
repayment.

Interest  expense  increased by $23,000 to $164,000  during the six months ended
July 31, 1994 as compared  to the same period in the prior  fiscal year  largely
due to heavier borrowings under the company's line of credit arrangement to fund
the settlement with Sensonics, Inc.

Backlog  as of July 31,  1996 was  $14,709,000,  as  compared  to a  backlog  of
$17,356,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. However, $3,021,000
of the prior year's backlog figure was attributed to the Ordnance Division.

As of July 31,  1996,  the  Company  was back in  compliance  with its bank loan
covenants and was granted a $500,000  increase on its revolving  line of credit,
taking it to $2,000,000. The outstanding balance on the Company's line of credit
as of July 31, 1996 was $1,250,000.
