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

        Material Changes in Financial Condition. Accounts receivable decrease
resulted primarily from lower sales in the third quarter of 1998 versus the
fourth quarter of 1997. Inventory increased principally in work in process
due to high shipments forecast for August.

        Accounts and note payable decrease resulted from lower accounts
payables. Other current liabilities decreased mainly from lower customer
deposits.

        Long term debt decreased due to the Company paying in full the 12%
subordinated notes in November 1997 combined with quarterly payments on the
term debt.

        Additional paid-in capital increased from recording income tax
recoveries directly to additional paid-in capital.

        Material Changes in Results of Operations. Sales in the first nine
months of 1998 were 15% higher than the first nine months of 1997. Higher
sales resulted from a high back log going into the first quarter. New
business booking levels for 1998 have basically been level with 1997
bookings.

        Costs of products sold were 61% in the first nine months of 1998
compared to 60% a year ago. Selling, general, and administrative expenses
were 30% in the first nine months of 1998

compared to 32% a year ago.

        Lower interest expense resulted from lower debt combined with lower
interest rates on term debt and the line of credit due the bank.

        The order backlog of $4,674,000 at the end of the third quarter ended
July 31, 1998 compares with $4,732,000 at the end of the previous quarter
ended April 30, 1998 and $5,032,000 at the end of the third quarter a year
ago.
