officers of the lender.

$1,133,234 ($.22 per share), compared to $624,283 ($.13 per share) for
the corresponding period in 1996. The increase in net income is due
primarily to the registrant's acquisitions and manufacturing efficiencies
resulting from such acquisitions and the utilization of the registrant's
manufacturing facility in China which began operations in 1995.
