                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATION

The company's  income from operations  increased  23.9% and 20.9%,  respectively
during the second  quarter  and first six months of 1995 as compared to the same
periods of 1994.  This increase in income from  operations was provided  through
increased  sales and a decrease  in  operating  expenses.  In  addition,  second
quarter  earnings  benefitted from profits  generated by the sales of marketable
securities.

The company's sales increased by 1.4% and 1.8%,  respectively  during the second
quarter and first six months of 1995 when  compared to the same periods of 1994.
The sales  increase was provided  primarily  by both the Drive  Control  Systems
division and the company's wholly-owned subsidiary,  Microflame, Inc. Meanwhile,
the AutoData  Systems  division  experienced a moderate  sales  increase and the
Speed  Monitoring  division  experienced a sales  decrease  during the first six
months of 1995. Price increases did not have a significant effect on sales.

Overall,  the  company  has felt the impact from both the decline in the durable
goods market and the slow down in the auto industry experienced in the last part
of 1994 and the beginning of 1995. These trends have been  particularly  evident
in the Speed Monitoring division and were reflected in the slowed sales activity
during the first half of 1995.  The Drive Control  Systems sales growth of 16.5%
for the first six months was  attributed  to increased  sales of the  MicroSpeed
control  unit and Drive  Control  Systems's  ability to adapt these  products to
specific  customer needs.  The company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Microflame,
Inc., experienced an increase in sales of 13.08% and 19.9%, respectively for the
second quarter and first six months of 1995  reflecting the increase in consumer
spending during the first half of the year.

Cost of sales  increased  both as a percentage  of sales and when  compared to a
year ago. The increased  costs resulted  primarily  from the increased  sales of
both the Drive  Control  Systems  and  Microflame  products,  which have a lower
profit  margin.  In addition,  the cost of electronic  components  has increased
substantially due to both increased demand and lower currency exchange rates.

Operating  expenses decreased during the first six months of 1995. The decreased
expense  occurred  primarily  from  cost  containment  programs  implemented  by
management in  anticipation  of slower than expected  sales growth in 1995.  The
reduced  expenses were  concentrated  primarily in the marketing and engineering
area. In addition,  the company also 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 six months  ended June 30,  1995,  working  capital  increased
$594,306 to a total of $5,338,707.  The increase in marketable  securities which
resulted from the reporting of unrealized gains on these holdings  accounted for
$649,337 of this change in working capital. Both accounts receivable and payable
increased as a result of increased sales activity.  A note receivable payment of
$12,781 was received  from the ESOP plan.  In addition,  proceeds  from both the
sale of  marketable  securities  generated  $145,364  and the  exercise of stock
options generated $7,125 during the first six months.  The company paid $189,850
in cash dividends  during the second  quarter of 1995. In addition,  the company
invested both an additional  $22,103 for office and manufacturing  equipment and
$108,870 into the repayment of short-term borrowings.  The company also invested
$43,500 in marketable securities.
