                       Notes to Condensed Consolidated
                             Financial Statements

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

     Material Changes in Financial Condition. Accounts receivable decrease
resulted primarily from collection of several large past due invoices
combined with a more aggressive collection effort which decreased days sales
outstanding to 45 days versus 59 days at the end of fiscal year 1996.
Inventory increased primarily from higher levels of work in process. Other
current assets increased primarily from prepaid general insurance, workers
compensation insurance, and employee benefits.

        Accounts and note payable decreased due to completely paying off the
line of credit which was partially offset by increased accounts payable. The
increase in other current liabilities resulted primarily from increased
customer deposits. Long term debt decrease resulted from quarterly payments
in January, April, and July combined with an additional $300,000 voluntary
principal payment in July.

Material changes in Results of Operation. Sales in the first nine months of
1997 were 5% higher than the first nine months of 1996. Higher sales resulted
primarily from increased parts sales.

        Costs of products sold were 60% in the first nine months of 1997
compared to 62% a year ago. The lower costs of sales percent in 1997 resulted
primarily from a more favorable product mix, lower

material cost as a percentage of sales, and installation cost overruns on a
job in the first nine months of 1996. Selling, general and administrative
expenses were 32% in the first nine months of 1997 compared to 30% in the
same period a year ago.

        Interest expense increase resulted from debt incurred at the end of
fiscal year 1996 to repurchase Prab stock from the State of Michigan.

        The order backlog of $5,032,000 at the end of the third quarter ended
July 31, 1997 compares with $3,280,000 at the end of the previous quarter
ended April 30, 1997 and $3,738,000 at the end of the third quarter a year
ago.

management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at July 31, 1997, and for all

    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in

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

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 1997
and 1996 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.
