                       Six months ended April 30, 1997
                             and 1996 (Unaudited)

                       Notes to Condensed Consolidated
                             Financial Statements

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

        Material changes in Financial Condition. Cash decrease resulted
primarily from inventory purchases, prepaid general insurance, payment of
fiscal year 1996 accrued bonus and profit sharing, quarterly debt payments,
paying the litigation settlement on the K-L Landfill, and paying down the
line of credit. Accounts receivable decrease resulted from lower sales in the
second quarter of 1997 versus the fourth quarter of 1996 combined with
collection on several past due invoices. Inventory increased to meet high
sales scheduled to ship in June. Other current assets increased primarily
from prepaid general insurance, advertising, and pension fund.

        Accounts and note payable decreased due to paying down the line of
credit which was partially offset by increased accounts payable. The decrease
in other current liabilities resulted primarily from lower accrued bonus,
profit sharing, commissions, and litigation on the K-L Landfill. Long term
debt decrease resulted from the quarterly payments in January and April.

                                     2/11

<PAGE>

        Material Changes in Results of Operation. Sales in the first half of
1997 were 6% higher than the first half of 1996. Higher sales resulted
primarily from increased parts sales.

        Costs of products sold were 62% in the first half of 1997 compared to
65% 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 half of 1996.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 31% in the first six 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 $3,280,000 at the end of the second quarter
ended April 30, 1997 compares with $3,643,000 at the end of the previous
quarter ended January 31, 1997 and $3,595,000 at the end of the second
quarter a year ago.

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet at April 30, 1997, the
consolidated statement of earnings and the condensed consolidated statement
of cash flows for the three-month and six month periods ended April 30, 1997

management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows at April 30, 1997, and for all
periods presented have been made.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in

the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's October

4.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

     Primary share amounts are computed based on weighted average number of
shares actually outstanding plus the dilutive 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 earnings per common share amounts are not presented for
April 30, 1997 and 1996 because of immaterial difference from primary
earnings per share in both periods.

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