                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATION

Net income increased by 113% during the first nine months of 1995 to $612,777 or
$.32 per share.  The substantial  increase is due to both increased sales during
the period and  decreased  operating  expenses.  Sales for the third quarter and
first nine months of 1995 increased 27.9% and 9.8%, respectively,  when compared
to the same periods of 1994.  Third quarter  sales of  $1,733,628  represent the
highest quarterly sales level achieved in the company history. The third quarter
and nine month  sales  increases  were  provided  almost  entirely  by the Drive
Control Systems ("DCS") segment of the Controls Division.

DCS has achieved  continued sales growth of the MicroSpeed  products  throughout
1995. In addition, DCS completed the sale of a production line control system of
approximately  $225,000  during  the third  quarter  of 1995.  Speed  Monitoring
segment sales  experienced an 11% increase in third quarter sales,  but remained
relatively unchanged for the year. Microflame sales remained 10.6% ahead of last
year;  however,  sales  were down  10.5%  during  the third  quarter  of 1995 as
compared to the same period of a year ago. The company's newly formed  division,
AutoData Systems,  is presently in the process of changing its marketing efforts
based on focus group studies performed earlier in the year. This has resulted in
a decline of 6.3% in AutoData sales for the first nine months.  Price  increases
did not have a significant effect on sales.

Cost of sales for the first  nine  months  increased,  but  remained  relatively
unchanged  as a  percentage  of sales when  compared to the same period of 1994.
Cost of sales for the third  quarter  decreased  as a  percentage  of sales when
compared to the same period of 1994.  The  increased  sales  volume  allowed the
company  to spread  the  fixed  direct  and  indirect  cost  over the  increased
production.

Operating  expenses  decreased during the third quarter and first nine months of
1995. The decreased  expense occurred  primarily from cost containment  programs
implemented  by  management  early in the year in  anticipation  of slower  than
expected sales growth in 1995. The reduced expenses were concentrated  primarily
in the marketing and engineering areas. In addition, the company benefitted from
cost savings  resulting  from the  purchase of its new building  during the last
half of 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first nine months ended September 30, 1995, working capital increased
$1,912,346  to a total of  $6,656,747.  The increase in  marketable  securities,
which  resulted  from the  reporting  of  unrealized  gains  on these  holdings,
accounted  for  $1,442,322  of this  change in working  capital.  Both  accounts
receivable and inventories increased due to both the increased sales activity of
the Controls Division and the slowed third quarter Microflame sales activity.  A
note  receivable  advance of $29,308  was made to the ESOP  plan.  In  addition,
proceeds  from the  sale of  marketable  securities  and the  exercise  of stock
options  generated  $174,756  and $17,813,  respectively,  during the first nine
months. The company paid $189,850 in cash dividends during the second quarter of
1995. In addition,  the company  invested both an additional  $30,897 for office
and  manufacturing  equipment  and $171,322  into the  repayment  of  short-term
borrowings.  The company also  invested  $143,500 for the purchase of marketable
and  investment  securities.  The  company  has  declared  a $.50  per  share or
approximately $951,500 cash dividend payable January, 10, 1996 to
