Net Sales

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased $2,407 compared to
sales for the same period in 1995. This decrease was made up of the following:

                                                              Increase
                                                             (Decrease)
                                                             ----------
         Wireless Communication Equipment                    $    773
         Paper Manufacturing                                   (3,217)
         Specialty Manufacturing                                  191


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 3.4% to 77.5% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from 80.9% for the six months ended June 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:

</TABLE>


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. The decrease in the specialty manufacturing segment
is due to the absorption of a new product line in the last quarter of 1995 and
first quarter of 1996. Costs decreased in the wireless equipment manufacturing
segment due to increased efficiencies in the manufacturing process.


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 six months ended June 30,
1996 from 20.1% for the six months ended June 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         Six Months Ended
                                             June 30,               June 30,

                                         ----      ----         ----       ----

Wireless Communication Equipment       $2,637     $2,511       $5,452     $5,314
Paper Manufacturing                       660        799        1,305      1,553
Specialty Manufacturing                   592        488        1,202        982
Corporate                                 392        636          846      1,061
                                                          
Increases in the wireless communications segment are related to increased
product development expenses compared to the prior year. 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.


Interest Expense

Interest Expense decreased to 1.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and 1.3%
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 1.9% for year ended December 31,
1995. This decrease is related to

                                        8

<PAGE>



decreased debt levels compared to 1995.

Investment Income

Investment income for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 was due to the settlement
of a class action suit related to a security previous owned by the Company.

Income Taxes

Income taxes represented a 38.0% effective tax rate for the quarter and six
months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 and the six
months ended June 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 $497,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996.
The Company has credit available under its existing lines of credit in excess of
$1,000,000.

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1996 were $450,000 which was
paid from operating cash flow and bank credit lines.

Capital expenditures for 1996 for the combined entity are not expected to exceed
$2.5 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 $91,000 from December 31, 1995.

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.
