1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1997, the
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by the
Company, without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows at September
30, 1997 and for all periods presented have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1996 Annual
Report to Shareholders. The results of operations for the period ended September
30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full
year.

</TABLE>


Net Sales

Net sales for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997
decreased $623 and $1,540 respectively compared to sales for the same period in
1996.

Sales in the land mobile product line have increased 10.2% from the same period
for 1996. This is a result of the army contract which started this year. These
increases have been offset by decreased customer demand in the load management
and components product lines.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased 0.9% to 75.2% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 74.3% for the same period in 1996.
For the three months ended September 30, 1997, cost of sales increased 1.7% to
77.0% compared to 75.3% for the same period in 1996. The increase resulted from
the installation and start-up of new surface mount equipment during the quarter.
During this period, set-up times and throughput were impacted unfavorably.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of marketing, selling,
engineering, data processing, occupancy and financial costs. For the three
months ended September 30, 1997 these expenses decreased $9 (0.4%) from the
same period for 1996. For the nine months ended, these expenses stayed flat


                                       7

<PAGE>

compared to the prior year ($8,185 in 1997 compared to $8,174 in 1996).
Decreases that have been realized by streamlining and consolidating functions
have been partially offset by additional engineering expenses in support of two
strategic new-product initiatives.


Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to 0.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1997
from 1.5% for the same period in 1996. For the nine months ended September 30,
1997, interest expense increased to 2.0% from 1.2% for the same period in 1996.
Interest expense was higher in the first half of the year due to higher debt
levels associated with the expansion of the West Melbourne, Florida facility.
This debt was subsequently reduced by using proceeds from the sale of the
Company's specialty manufacturing and paper manufacturing subsidiaries.


Income Taxes

Income taxes (benefit) represented a 38.0% effective tax rate for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. This rate is made up of a 34% federal tax rate
and varying state tax rates. The effective tax rate for 1996 was 15.4%.


Inflation and Changing Prices

Inflation and changing prices for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 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 Company
is also subject to changing foreign currency exchange rates in its purchases of
raw materials. 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 costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital decreased by $2,879 during the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
Long-term debt decreased by $7,228 during the same period. The Company has
credit available under its existing lines of credit in excess of $7 million.

Capital expenditures for the first nine months of 1997 were $3,618 which was
paid from operating cash flow and bank credit lines. Of these expenditures, $2.0
million is for the expansion of the West Melbourne, Florida facility. The


                                       8
<PAGE>


purpose of the expansion is to consolidate operations at this location. Also,
$1.4 million is to replace obsolete surface mount equipment.

Capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997 will be approximately $0.5
million. Management expects that capital expenditures will be significantly
lower in 1998.

Inventories, excluding those of the discontinued business segments, increased
$738 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from December 31, 1996.

Discontinued Operations

In December 1996 the Company agreed in principal to sell its specialty
manufacturing subsidiary to an officer and director of the Company. The sale was
completed in June 1997. This segment has been recorded as a discontinued
operation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

The Company sold its paper manufacturing subsidiary in June 1997. This segment
has been reported as a discontinued operation for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
