2.  INVESTMENTS

Investments are carried at fair market value. The Company's investment
securities are classified as available for sale and recorded on the balance
sheet at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses on these investments
shown as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of related taxes. The
impact of these unrealized gains and losses, net of related taxes, is shown as a
part of other comprehensive income on the statements of operations and
comprehensive income.

3.  INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for items which are reported for tax purposes
in different periods than in the Statements of Operations.

4.  REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue from manufactured products is recognized at the time of shipment to the
customer. Service revenue is recognized at the time of shipment of goods or
delivery of services to the customer. The sale price is fixed at the time of
shipment or delivery of the service and all risks transfer to the customer at
that point. Commissioned sales representatives do not stock product. Returns,
exchanges and restock charges are handled on a case-by-case basis.

5.  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. During the six months
ended October 31, 2000, there were a total of 225,663 shares outstanding under
the Company's stock option plans. There was no dilutive effect of the
outstanding

options for the six months ended October 31, 2000, as a result from a net
operating loss. For the six months ended October 31, 1999, the dilutive effect

  2000. Under the amended and restated merger agreement, Advanced Energy now
  will pay to the EMCO shareholders, if the amended and restated merger
  agreement is approved, cash in an aggregate amount equal to $30 million plus
  the exercise prices paid in cash by EMCO option holders on exercise of any
  EMCO stock options between October 20, 2000 and the completion of the merger.
  A special meeting of EMCO shareholders to vote on the amended and restated
  merger agreement is scheduled for January 2, 2001. The amended and restated
  merger agreement is subject to the approval of two-thirds of EMCO's
  outstanding shares and certain other conditions detailed in the merger
  agreement. The agreement does not require the approval of Advanced Energy's
  stockholders.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

                             A. FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's net working capital increased approximately $577,000 during the
six months ended October 31, 2000. The most significant items impacting working
capital in this period are increases in accounts receivable, inventories and
deferred income tax assets. The current ratio was at 4.4 at October 31, 2000 and
4.2 at April 30, 2000.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $143,000 at October 31, 2000,
compared to April 30, 2000. Higher accounts receivable of approximately
$548,000, higher inventory balances of approximately $117,000 and capital and
intangibles expenditures of approximately $315,000 were the principal consumers
of cash during the period. Cash used in operations was approximately $487,000
for the six month period. Proceeds from stock option exercises of approximately
$603,000 were a primary source of cash during the first six months of the fiscal
year. The Company intends to continue investing excess cash in investment
securities until the cash is needed for operations.

Accounts receivable increased by approximately $548,000 at October 31, 2000, due
to higher sales. The Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) was 47.6 at October 31, 2000,
compared to 47.6 days at April 30, 2000.



                                       8
<PAGE>   9


Inventories increased approximately $117,000 in the first six months of the
fiscal year. The inventory turnover ratio for the six months ended October 31,
improved to 1.58 (annualized) compared to 1.47 for fiscal year 2000. Inventory
turns have improved slightly while inventory levels have increased, reflecting
increased sales levels. In addition, inventory levels increased due to a build
up prior to the introduction of the Mach-One mass flow controller for the
semiconductor market and inventories associated with turnkey orders for the
contract electronics manufacturing business, which previously had not required
the Company to buy and hold inventory.

Management will continue to review inventory levels in order to optimize
shipments.

The Company currently has no loans outstanding. 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 has renewed its $500,000
revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank West, N.A. through September
2001. The Company currently has no outstanding loan balance on the line of
credit.

                            B. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                   SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000, COMPARED
                    TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999

Sales for the six months ended October 31, 2000, were approximately $824,000
more than the six months ended October 31, 1999. The increase in sales is
attributable to increases in sales of EMCO's commercial vortex water flowmeter,
contract electronics manufacturing services and the introduction of a new
ultrasonic flowmeter this past January. Order backlog at October 31, 2000 is
approximately $1,078,000 compare to $1,197,000 at October 31, 1999. The decrease
in backlog is attributable to the Company's emphasis on reducing lead times. The
overall level of orders is comparable to the prior year.

Gross profit is up approximately $502,000 from the same period a year ago to
43.0% of sales from 39.9% of sales in the period ending October 31, 1999.
Decreases in material costs as a percent of sales of 2.8% and overhead of 1.3%
from the same period in 1999 reflect the increases in sales of the commercial
vortex flowmeter, the new ultrasonic flowmeter, and contract electronics
manufacturing (ATG) operation in the product mix. This is also reflected in the
increase in labor of 1.6% from 1999 to 2000.

Operating expenses increased approximately $691,000 from the same period a year
earlier. Selling expenses are up reflecting in part the higher sales numbers and
new product introduction activities. General and administrative expenses
increased $377,000, of which $210,000 were related to the proposed merger to
Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. Research & development expenses increased
$136,000. Loss from operations is approximately $185,000 in the six months ended
October 31, 2000, compared to income from operations of approximately $3,000 for
the six months ended October 31, 1999, reflecting the merger related expenses.

Other income for the six months ended October 31, 2000, was approximately
$26,000 compared to approximately $44,000 in the same six month period a year
ago.

The income tax benefit for the six month period ending October 31, 2000, was
approximately $86,000 compared to an income tax provision of approximately
$32,000 for the same period in 1999. Net cash used by operating activities was
$487,445 for the six months ended October 31, 2000. Net cash provided by
operating activities was $205,497 for the six months ended October 31, 1999.

                  THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2000, COMPARED
                   TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1999

Sales were approximately $590,000 higher in the period ending October 31, 2000,
compared to the period ending October 31, 1999, a 24.0% increase, due to higher
demand for the commercial vortex flowmeter, the new Sono-Trak ultrasonic
flowmeter introduced in January 2000, and increased sales of contract electronic


                                       9
<PAGE>   10


printed circuit board assembly services. International sales fell 14%, or
approximately $94,000 from the same quarter last year. As a result,
international sales, which had accounted for 27% of total revenues in the
quarter ended October 31, 1999, fell to 19% of revenues in the same quarter this
year. Aggressive pricing by European competitors and a strong Dollar hindered
international sales in the period.

Gross profit increased by approximately $385,000 to 45.4% of sales in 2000
compared to 40.6% in 1999. Labor was 1.9% higher due to a more labor intensive
product mix, material cost was down 3.8% and overhead was down 1.2%, again due
to product mix.

Operating expenses have increased approximately $389,000 from last year. Selling
expenses increased approximately $56,000. General and administrative costs
increased approximately $228,000, which included about $100,000 in costs
directly associated with the merger with Advanced Energy Industries, Inc.
Research and development costs increased approximately $106,000 over the same
period in the prior year.

Other income for the three months ended October 31, 2000, decreased
approximately $10,000 to approximately $6,000 primarily due to a loss from the
sale of investment securities in 2000, compared to a gain of approximately
$1,000 in 1999. The Company had no interest expense attributable to debt in the
periods ending October 31, 2000, and 1999, respectively.

The income tax provision for the three months ended October 31, 2000, was
approximately $7,000 compared to an income tax provision of approximately
$61,000 for the same period in 1999. Other Comprehensive Income for the three
month period ended October 31, 2000, consisted of approximately $1,000 of
unrealized holding losses on investment securities, net of the related tax
effects, and $16,000 of tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock
options. This compares to approximately $63,000 of unrealized holding losses on
investment securities, net of the related tax effects, in the three months ended
October 31, 1999. Tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options in
1999 were approximately $22,000.

Net cash used by operating activities was $105,667 for the three months ended
October 31, 2000. Net cash provided by operating activities was $156,738 for the
three months ended October 31, 1999. Major change in net cash from operating
activities year over year is the increase in accounts receivable in 2000.
