     the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 have been prepared by the

     (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
     fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash
     flows at June 30, 1997 and for all periods presented have been made.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in

     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 June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
     operating results for a full year.

     Net Sales

     Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased $917 compared to
     sales for the same period in 1996.

     In the first quarter, sales decreased $2,912 due to lower demand in the
     utility sector for load management switches. Declines were also experienced
     in land-mobile radio product lines. Sales increased $1,995 in the second
     quarter as both areas, particularly land-mobile, rebounded.

     Cost of Sales

     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased 0.8% to 74.1% for the
     six months ended June 30, 1997 from 73.3% for six months ended June 30,
     1996. Cost of sales was 71.1% of net sales for the year ended December 31,
     1996. This increase is the result of higher labor and related fringe costs.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of marketing, selling,
     engineering, data processing, occupancy and financial costs. These expenses
     increased to 24.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to 22.3%
     for the same period in 1996. This is the result of additional engineering
     expenses in support of two strategic product initiatives.

     Interest Expense

     Interest expense increased to 2.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997
     from 2.2% for the same period in 1996. This increase resulted from higher
     debt levels associated with the facility expansion in West Melbourne,
     Florida.

     Income Taxes

     Income taxes (benefit) represented a 37.0% effective tax rate for the six
     months ended June 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 June 30, 1997 and
     the six months ended June 30, 1996 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. 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 costs.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Working capital decreased by $1,058,000 during the six months ended June
     30, 1997. The Company has credit available under its existing lines of
     credit in excess of $6 million.

     Capital expenditures for the first six months of 1997 were $1,486,000 which
     was paid from operating cash flow and bank credit lines.

     It is estimated that capital expenditures for 1997 will be approximately
     $4.3 million. Of these expenditures, $2.3 million is for the expansion of
     the West Melbourne, Florida facility. The purpose of the expansion is to
     consolidate operations at this location and $1.4 million is to replace
     obsolete surface mount equipment. Management expects that capital
     expenditures will be significantly lower in 1998.

     Inventories, excluding those of the discontinued business segments,
     increased $1,366 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from December 31,
     1996.
