Net Sales

Net sales for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased (decreased) compared to sales for the same period in 1994.  This
change is made up of the following:

Wireless Communications Equipment       (2,114)              (2,867)

</TABLE>

Sales in the wireless communications equipment business segment decreased due to
parts shortage which constrained production of certain products. Increases in
the paper manufacturing segment were due to price increases.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased 7.0% to 84.4% for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 from 77.4% for the quarter ended September 30,
1994 and increased 5.1% to 82.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
compared to 76.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Detail of these changes by segment follows:

Material costs, primarily recycled paper fiber, have increased approximately
400% over the past year. Prices for paperboard have increased also but have
generally lagged price increases in raw materials. Cost of electronic components
have increased in the specialty manufacturing business. These increases have not
been passed on fully to customers as of September 30, 1995. Costs increased in
the wireless equipment manufacturing segment due to increased labor costs
associated with the manufacture of certain products in the Bendix/King product
line. These costs are expected to decrease as this product line is fully
absorbed into this segment's facility.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses which consist primarily of
commissions, marketing, salary and related costs, data processing and occupancy
costs increased to 20.6% from 19.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 1995
from the quarter ended September 30, 1994, but decreased to 20.3% from 22.0% for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Details of this change by segment
follow:

</TABLE>

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses were in the
wireless communications equipment segment. This was related to the reduction in
personnel in 1994 and the first half of 1995. RELM Communications the Company's
wireless communications equipment subsidiary, purchased the Bendix/King Mobile
Communications Division from AlliedSignal in September, 1993.

Interest Expense

Interest Expense decreased from $239 for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 to
$230 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 and increased from $537 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 to $640 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995. The increase for the nine months ended September 1995 was due to
increased debt levels.

Investment Income

Investment income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was due to the
settlement of a class action suit for a security previous owned by the Company.

                                       9

Income Taxes

Income taxes (benefit) represented a 34.0% effective tax rate for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995. This rate is made up of a 34% federal tax rate and
varying state tax rates. The effective tax rate for 1994 was 37.6%. The
effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 1994 was 36.0%.

Inflation and Changing Prices

Inflation and changing prices for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
and the nine months ended September 30, 1994 have contributed to increases in
wages, facility and raw material costs. The Company believes that it will be
able to pass on most of its future inflationary increases to its customers. The
wireless equipment manufacturing segment is also subject to changing foreign
currency exchange rates in its purchases of raw materials. The Company employs
several methods to protect against increases in costs due to currency
fluctuations. It is not always possible to pass on the effects of currency
fluctuations to customers. However, competition in these markets are subject to
similar fluctuations in product cost.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital decreased by $3,250,000 during the nine months ended September
30, 1995. This decrease is due to the sale of the Company's steel processing
facility during the third quarter of 1995. The Company has credit available
under its existing lines of credit in excess of $2,000,000.

Capital expenditures for the nine months of 1995 were $588,000 which was paid
from operating cash flow and bank credit lines.

Capital expenditures for 1995 for the combined entity are not expected to exceed
$1.5 million. Management expects that capital expenditures will be funded
through operating cash flow and financing sources available to the Company.
Based on the anticipated replacement needs, and expected purchases of equipment
for additional capacity, management expects that capital expenditures will
continue at these levels for the foreseeable future.

Inventories decreased $5,459,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
This decrease is due to the sale of the Company's steel processing subsidiary.

Discontinued Operations

        In February, 1995 the Company decided to discontinue and dispose of its
real estate development and management segment. Real estate inventories were
written down to their estimated orderly liquidation value as of December 31,
1994.

        On May 23, 1995 the Board of Directors decided to accept an offer to
purchase the stock of Niagara Cold Drawn Corporation for approximately $6.8
million. The sale was completed on August 6, 1995.

        Management will consider disposal of subsidiaries that do not earn an
adequate return or fit the long-term goals of the Company.
