MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Financial Condition

     As of  September  30, 1995,  working  capital was  $21,627,000  compared to
$21,782,000  at the end of  1994,  representing  a  $155,000  decrease  in total
working  capital  for the first nine  months of 1995.  The  decrease  in working
capital  is  primarily   accounted  for  by  decreases  in  accounts  receivable
($393,000),  and deferred income taxes ($825,000) partially offset by a increase
in inventory ($1,098,000) .

     The decrease in accounts receivable during the first nine months of 1995 is
related to the  implementation  of new  collection  programs,  the  decrease  in
deferred  taxes is  attributable  to the  utilization  of the  Company's NOL tax
carryforward  from prior years and the  increase  in  inventories  is  primarily
related to a increase in work in process  inventories  associated  with  several
large filter house projects scheduled to be shipped during the fourth quarter.

     Long-term debt decreased  $4,463,000  and short term  borrowings  increased
$240,000 during the first nine months primarily due to the Company's strong cash
flow  provided  by  operating   activities   ($4,225,000).   Surplus   borrowing
availability  under the Company's  domestic revolving credit facility at the end
of the third quarter increased to over $7 million.

     Capital  expenditures  of $674,000  during the first nine months  decreased
over the same  period  last  year by  $194,000.  Overall,  capital  expenditures
continue to be  maintained  at low levels  commensurate  with  lender  financial
covenants and to conserve cash resources.

     During the third quarter, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its
Rialto, California manufacturing facility. The closing of this sale agreement is
expected to occur during the fourth quarter of 1995.

     Current debt maturities and operating  capital  requirements of the Company
are  anticipated  to be provided  through cash flows  generated  from  operating
activities and borrowing  availability  under the Company's  domestic  revolving
credit facility and foreign overdraft credit facilities.

Results of Operations

     During the third  quarter,  the Company's  net income  improved to $726,000
from $275,000  during the same period last year.  Third quarter sales  increased
from $27,462,000 reported last year to $28,444,000.

     Year to date third  quarter net income  improved to  $2,034,000,  up from a
loss of $765,000  during  1994.  The nine month  period  loss for 1994  included
$660,000 in  nonrecurring  expenses in connection with the closing of the Rialto
plant,   so  that   comparable  net  income  results  from   operations   before
restructuring  cost last year  showed a  $105,000  net loss.  Sales for the nine
months were $84,379,000,  up from $79,158,000.  Sales increases were realized in
products related to pollution control,  engine,  OEM and international  markets,
while  heating,   ventilating  and  air  conditioning   products  showed  slight
decreases.

     A modest price increase was initiated in July,  1995. This partially offset
material  and labor  cost  increases  for the year.  The  balance  of those cost
increases have been met through improved material usage and efficiency.

     Incoming  orders were  slightly off against  plan in the third  quarter and
while backlog decreased 11 percent during the quarter,  it remained ahead of the
prior year end level. Early fourth quarter orders remain somewhat sluggish,  but
are not viewed as having a  significant  negative  effect on the fourth  quarter
performance.

     The Company is cautiously  optimistic that its favorable  recent  operating
trends will continue into the first quarter of 1996.
