periods.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

                            A.  Financial Condition

The Company's net working capital decreased approximately $37,000 during the
three months ended July 31, 1998, primarily due to decreases in cash, income
taxes receivable, and accounts payable and increases in  accounts receivable,
inventory,  and accrued liabilities.  The current ratio was 4.2 at July 31, 1998
compared to 4.3 at April 30, 1998.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $321,000 at July 31, 1998
compared to April 30, 1998, due to capital expenditures of approximately
$224,000 and increases in accounts receivable during the period.  The Company
intends to continue investing excess cash in high grade investment securities
until the cash is needed for operations.

Accounts receivable increased by approximately $224,000 at July 31, 1998,
primarily due to higher sales and slightly slower collections.  The Days Sales
Outstanding (DSO) were 55.6 days for the three months ended July 31, 1998
compared to 57.6 days for the year ended April 30, 1998.

Inventories increased approximately $32,000 in the first three months of the
fiscal year.  The inventory turnover ratio for the three months ended July 31,
increased to 2.09 compared to 1.99 in fiscal 1998. Management will continue to
emphasize inventory management.

The Company currently has no loans outstanding.  The Company was making monthly
payments of principal and interest, of approximately $9,000 to pay off  loans
from a stockholder in the first quarter of last year.  The company does not
expect any material capital expenditures in the next six months, and anticipates
all cash needs will be satisfied from operations.  The Company currently does
not have any line of credit arrangements.

                         B.  Results of Operations

                Three months ended July 31, 1998 compared
                 to the three months ended July 31, 1997

Sales were approximately $179,000 higher in 1998 compared to 1997, a 7.8%
increase, due to the introduction of new products and higher demand in the
domestic market in the current year. The Company's order backlog is higher at
July 31, 1998 at approximately $1,434,000, compared to $1,237,000 at July 31,
1997.

Gross profit increased by approximately $215,000 to 43.5% of sales in 1998
compared to 37.6% in 1997.  Labor was 2% lower due to volume and a favorable
product mix, material cost was down 1% and overhead was down 3%  due to
favorable product mix.  Operating expenses are up approximately $69,000 from
last year due to increased selling and general and administrative costs.
Income from operations increased approximately $146,000 for the three months
ended July 31, 1998 compared to the same period a year ago.

The Company recognized gains of approximately $10,000 from the sale of stock for
the three months ended July 31, 1998, compared to approximately $46,000 for the
three months ended July 31, 1997.

Other income for the three months ended July 31, 1998, increased approximately
$22,000 to approximately $36,000 due to higher interest and dividend income from
high grade investment securities, gains on the disposal of fixed assets and the
recognition of miscellaneous income in 1998 versus a loss in 1997, compared the
same period last year.   The Company's interest expense was zero for the period
ended July 31, 1998 compared to approximately $9,000 for the same period in
1997, due to the conversion of outstanding shareholder debt to equity in April
of 1998.

The income tax provision for the three months ended July 31, 1998 was
approximately $25,000 compared to an income tax benefit of approximately $14,000
the same period in 1997.   The impact of deferred tax items resulted in current
tax rates of approximately 25.4% and 33.7% in 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,976.
