As an aid to understanding the Company's operating results, the following table
shows each item from the consolidated statement of income expressed as a
percentage of net sales:

Net income from

</TABLE>
Net Sales
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased $649 compared
to sales for the same period in 1995. This decrease was made up of the
following:
Increase
(Decrease)
----------
Wireless Communication Equipment $ 2,345
Paper Manufacturing (5,089)
Specialty Manufacturing 347
Sales in the wireless communications equipment business segment increased due to
increased demand and the ability to source raw materials compared to the prior
year. Decreases in the paper manufacturing were due to decreased volume and
prices.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased 4.1% to 77.9% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from 82.0% for the
7
<PAGE>
nine months ended September 30, 1995. Cost of sales was 78.2% of net sales for
the year ended December 31, 1995. Details of this cost of sales as a percentage
of net sales for each segment follows:
Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
1996 1995 1996 1995
---- ---- ---- ----
Wireless Communication Equipment 69.9% 78.1% 74.6% 76.4%
Paper Manufacturing 88.4% 92.5% 84.9% 89.7%
Specialty Manufacturing 85.1% 83.5% 85.6% 85.6%
Costs decreased in the wireless communications equipment manufacturing segment
due to increased efficiencies in the manufacturing process. Material costs,
primarily recycled paper fiber, have decreased since the end of 1995. Prices for
paperboard have decreased also but have generally lagged price decreases in raw
materials. Decreased volume in the paper manufacturing segment resulted in less
efficient absorbtion of fixed manufacturing costs compared to the prior year.
The decrease in the specialty manufacturing segment is due to the absorption of
a new product line of 1996.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling general and administrative expenses which consist primarily of
commissions, marketing, salary and related costs, data processing, occupancy and
product development costs increased to 20.7% for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 from 20.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Selling
general and administrative expenses were 21.7% of net sales for the year ended
December 31, 1995. Details of selling, general and administrative expense by
segment follows:
Quarter Ended Nine Months Ended
September 30, September 30,
1996 1995 1996 1995
---- ---- ---- ----
Wireless Communication Equipment $ 2,336 $ 2,167 $ 7,788 $ 7,482
Paper Manufacturing 673 677 1,978 2,229
Specialty Manufacturing 591 647 1,793 1,529
Corporate 521 482 1,367 1,349
Increases in the wireless communications segment are related to increased
product development expenses compared to the prior year and increased selling
costs on increased sales volume. Decreases in the paper manufacturing segment
are related to decreased variable selling costs of decreased sales compared to
the prior year. Increased selling salaries and reallocation of corporate
expenses caused the increase in the specialty manufacturing segment.

<PAGE>
Interest Expense
Interest Expense increased to 1.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and
1.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from 1.9% for year ended
December 31, 1995. This decrease is related to decreased debt levels compared to
1995.
Income Taxes
Income taxes represented a 38.0% effective tax rate for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This rate is made up of a 34% federal tax rate
and varying state tax rates. The effective tax rate for 1995 was 40.1%.
Inflation and Changing Prices
Inflation and changing prices for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 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 increased by $ 2,920 during the nine months ended September 30,
1996. The Company has credit available under its existing lines of credit at
September 30, 1996 in excess of $1,000,000.
Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1996 were $755,000 which was
paid from operating cash flow and bank credit lines.
Capital expenditures for 1996 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 increased $405,000 from December 31, 1995.

<PAGE>
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.
In August 1995, the Company sold its' steel processing subsidiary for
$6.8 million in cash. Minority interests were decreased by $1.5 million and
long-term debt was decreased by this segments debt of $6.0 and payments on the
consolidated debt of the Company of $4.0 million.
Management will consider disposal of subsidiaries that do not earn an
adequate return or fit the long-term goals of the Company.
