                      Notes to Condensed Consolidated
                           Financial Statements

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

     Material Changes in Financial Condition.  Cash increased as a
result of higher customer deposits.  Accounts receivable increased
primarily from the high shipments in July.

     The Company continues to negotiate with the State of Michigan regarding
the repurchase of certain outstanding common stock, convertible preferred
stock and non-convertible preferred stock of the Company, which stock is
currently owned by the State of Michigan Retirement Systems. The Company
cannot predict the outcome of such negotiations. Refer to Item 6 of the
Company's 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995 for additional
information.

Material changes in Results of Operation. Sales in the first nine months of
1996 were 16% higher than the first nine months of 1995. Higher sales are the
result of a continuing strong domestic economy combined with increased
marketing activity and a high backlog of orders at the beginning of fiscal
1996.
        Costs of products sold were 62% in the first nine months of 1996
compared to 61% a year ago. The higher costs of sales percent resulted
primarily from installation cost overruns on a major job, higher warranty
expense, and increased material costs. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were 30% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to 30% in the same
period a year ago.

                                                                  Page 3 of 11



        Elimination of interest expense resulted from paying off all debt due
to the State of Michigan in the fourth quarter of 1995.

     Non-competition agreement income results from normal amortization over
the life of the agreement which ended in December 1995.

     Litigation settlement expense resulted from increasing the liability
reserve to equal the tentative settlement amount, refer to Part II, Item I.
Legal Proceedings, in this report.

        Trends. Bookings of $11,795,000 for the first nine months of
1996 are up 2% compared to the same period a year ago. Business
activity going into the fourth quarter remains strong.

        The order backlog of $3,738,000 at the end of the third quarter ended
July 31, 1996 compares with $3,595,000 at the end of the previous quarter
ended April 30, 1996 and $4,147,000 at the end of the third quarter a year
ago.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

        In July, 1996, the Company reached a tentative agreement on the
entitled litigation "Charter Township of Oshtemo, City of Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo
County, and the Upjohn Company V. American Cyanamid Company et al." The
agreement will require the Company to pay $88,767 to the Upjohn Company. This
tentative agreement required the Company to increase the previously recorded
liability of $25,000 by $63,767 in July.

     The Company is subject to other claims and lawsuits arising in the
ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such pending
claims are either adequately covered by insurance or, if not insured, will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Item 6.        Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

               (a)  Exhibits:  None

               (b)  Reports on Form 8K:

                    No reports on Form 8-K have been filed during the

1.  CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

    The condensed consolidated balance sheet at July 31, 1996, the
consolidated statement of earnings and the condensed consolidated statement of
cash flows for the three-month and nine month periods ended July 31, 1996 and
1995, have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at July 31, 1996, and for all
periods presented have been made.

    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's October 31,
1995, annual report to stockholders. The results of operations for the period
ended July 31, 1996, is not necessarily indicative of the operating results
for the full year.

4.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Primary share amounts are computed based on weighted average number of
shares actually outstanding plus the shares that would be outstanding assuming
conversion of the convertible preferred stock and exercise of dilutive stock
options, all of which are considered to be common stock equivalents. The
number of shares that would be issued from the exercise of stock options has
been reduced by the number of shares that could have been purchased from the
proceeds at the average market price of the company's stock. Net income has
been adjusted for dividends on the convertible and non-convertible preferred
stock.

     Fully diluted net income per share amounts are not presented for 1996 and
1995 because of being identical with primary net income per share.

     Following is a reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares
actually outstanding with the number of shares used in the computations of
primary net income per share.
