                          Notes to Financial Statements

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

1.   In the opinion of  management  the  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated
     financial  statements  contain all  adjustments  (consisting of only normal
     recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a fair  presentation for results for
     such  periods.  The results for any interim period are not  necessarily
     indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  Certain
     information  and  footnote   disclosures  normally  included  in  financial
     statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles  have been  condensed  or omitted.  These  financial  statements
     should  be read in  conjunction  with the  Company's  most  recent  audited
     financial statements included in its 1999 Form 10-K.

2.   The earnings per share  computations  for the six months ended December 31,
       1999 were based on 1,050,754  shares and on 1,106,557 shares for December
       31, 1998.  These  represent the average number of shares  outstanding for
       each respective period.

3.   Other income  consists  principally of interest on Certificates of Deposit,
     Treasury Bills, money market accounts and dividends on equity securities.

4.   For purposes of the  statements  of cash flows,  the Company  considers all
     liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to
     be cash equivalents.

5.   In fiscal 1989 the Company  established  an Employee  Stock  Ownership Plan
     (ESOP) for eligible  non-union  employees.  The ESOP used the proceeds of a
     loan from the Company to purchase  316,224  shares of the Company's  common
     stock  for   approximately   $8.4  million  and  the  Company   contributed
     approximately  $400,000  to the ESOP which was used by the ESOP to purchase
     an additional 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock.

     The loan from the Company to the ESOP is repayable in annual

                                      - 5 -
<PAGE>

       installments of $1,039,605,  including  interest,  through June 30, 2004.
       Interest is payable at a rate of 9% per annum.  The Company's  receivable
       from the ESOP is recorded as common stock  subscribed in the accompanying
       balance sheets.

       Each year, the Company will make  contributions to the ESOP which will be
       used to make loan  interest and  principal  payments.  With each loan and
       interest  payment,  a portion of the common  stock will be  allocated  to
       participating  employees.  As of  December  31,  1999 there were  161,125
       shares allocated to participants.

6.   Total comprehensive income consists of:

7.   Stock Options

       On  October  29,  1999,  the  Board of  Directors  approved,  subject  to
       shareholder  approval,  the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the Plan).  Under the
       Plan and related  incentive  stock  option  agreements,  options  will be
       granted  to  purchase  shares  of  common  stock of the  Company  with an
       exercise  price  not less than the fair  value of a share of such  common
       stock at the date of the grant and vest over a period  not to exceed  ten
       years as will be determined by the Option Committee which will administer
       the Plan.  Non-Qualified  stock options will be issued in accordance with
       the plan.

        The  Company  will apply  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion No. 25,
        "Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for the stock
        option  plans  and  determine   the   necessary  pro  forma   disclosure
        information  required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
        123  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation".  No options have been
        granted  under the plan.  Shareholders  approved  the Plan at the Annual
        Meeting on January 4, 2000.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Results of Operation

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 1999 were $6,711,404 as compared
to $5,658,362  for the same period in 1998. Net sales for the three months ended
December 31, 1999 were  $3,412,424 as compared to $3,134,377 for the same period
in 1998.  The  Company's  increase in sales for the three and six month  periods
ended  December  31, 1999 as  compared  to  December  31, 1998 is largely due to
increased  commercial  power  supply  and radar  test  equipment  sales.  Due to
successful  marketing efforts with new and existing customers the Company should
continue to see increased  net sales levels as backlog  orders are completed and
shipped.

Net income for the six months  ended  December  31, 1999 was $86,688 or $.08 per
share compared to $250,152 or $.23 per share for the corresponding  period ended
December 31, 1998.

During the first six  months of fiscal  2000 gross  profits as a  percentage  of
sales  decreased  approximately  4.5% as  compared  with the first six months of
fiscal 1999.

The primary  reason for the  decrease in gross profit and net income was product
mix,  higher  employee  related  expenses  and an overall  increase  in selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses.   Management  continues  to  expand  the
Company's workforce to ensure that production and overall execution of the large
increase in backlog orders and additional  anticipated  orders are  successfully
performed.  Present  employment  has exceeded 225 people as compared to December
31, 1998 when 175 people were employed.  Several of these  employees  require on
the job training  prior to working at maximum  efficiency.  The benefits of this
training should begin to positively  impact  operations in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2000.

The Company  continues to  diversify  its customer  base and product  line.  The
backlog at  December  31,  1999 was  approximately  $28,600,000  an  increase of
approximately  62% over the prior year.  The Company  continues  to increase the
backlog while increasing current sales levels.  Management presently anticipates
that the Company  will realize both an increase in revenues and income in fiscal
2000,  however,  there can be no  assurances  made since such a  forward-looking
statement is subject to future events.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses were $1,025,951 for the six months
ended December 31, 1999, an increase of $87,433, or 9.3%, as compared to the six
months ended  December 31, 1998. The increase is primarily due to an increase in
selling  expenses  offset  partially by a decrease in  professional  fees.  This
increase was expected as the Company  continues to add employees to increase and
manage the continued growth in sales and order backlog.

Other  income for the three and six months  ended  December  31,  1999  remained
relatively  the same as compared to the three and six months ended  December 31,
1998. The Company does not believe there is any significant risk associated with
its investment  policy,  since a majority of the  investments are represented by
United States Government Treasury Securities, preferred equity securities, and a
money market account.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December  31,  1999,  the Company  had  working  capital of $20.4  million
compared to $20.6 million at December 31, 1998. The Company meets its short-term
financing  needs  through  cash from  operations  and when  necessary,  from its
existing cash and short term investments.

Net cash (used in) financing activities ..                   (298,086)        (120,464)

</TABLE>



Net cash provided by (used in) operating  activities  fluctuates between periods
primarily as a result of differences in net income, the timing of the collection
of accounts  receivable,  purchase of  inventory,  level of sales and payment of
accounts  payable.  The  increase in net cash  provided  by (used in)  investing
activities  is due to the maturity of investment  securities  with no offsetting
purchase  of new  investments.  The  increase  in net  cash  used  in  financing
activities is due to the quarterly dividend payment and increased treasury stock
purchases.

The Company currently  believes that the cash generated from operations and when
necessary,  from  cash  and cash  equivalents,  will be  sufficient  to meet its
long-term funding requirements. Management is currently analyzing the need for a

line of credit to help fund  further  growth.  For the first half of fiscal 2000
capital expenditures were approximately $361,000.

Since the debt of the Company's  ESOP is not to an outside party the Company has
eliminated from the  Consolidated  Statements of Income the offsetting  items of
interest  income  and  interest  expenses  relating  to ESOP.  The  Company  has
eliminated the offsetting accruals from the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the six months  ended  December 31, 1999 the Company  repurchased  15,027
shares of its common  stock from the  Company's  ESOP and through  other  public
transactions.  Under existing  authorizations,  as of December 31, 1999,  57,473
shares  could  be  repurchased  at a price  not to  exceed  $13.50.  Under  this
authorization,  on February 8, 2000 the company  repurchased an additional  5000
shares of common stock.

Year 2000 Issues

The Company's  information  technology systems successfully  completed the "roll
over" to the year 2000. The transition resulted in no adverse or negative impact
on operations.  The company believes that the risk addociated with the year 2000
problem  has been  identified  and  eliminated.  The  Company  will  continue to
evaluate the 2000 readiness of its business  systems and significant  vendors to
ensure a complete  transition through the year 2000. The estimated total cost of
the year 2000 assessment and remediation plan has been less than $25,000.
