             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 from lower sales in the first quarter of 1998 versus the
fourth quarter of 1997. Inventory increased to meet higher sales scheduled to
ship in February and March.

         The majority of the decrease in other current liabilities resulted
primarily from paying the fiscal year 1997 accrued bonus combined with lower
accrued commissions.

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

         Material Changes in Results of Operation. Sales in the first quarter
of 1998 were 22% higher than the first quarter of 1997. Higher sales are a
result of a higher backlog going into the first quarter.

         Costs of products sold were 64% in the first quarter 1998 compared
to 62% a year ago resulting primarily from increased material costs. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were 30% in the first quarter of 1998
compared to 34% in the same period a year ago. The decrease primarily results
from increasing sales without having a significant increase in overhead.

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

1. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

     The condensed consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 1998, the
consolidated statement of earnings and the condensed consolidated statement
of cash flows for the three-month periods ended January 31, 1998 and 1997,
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 January 31, 1998, 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, 1997, annual report to stockholders. The results of operations for the
period ended January 31, 1998, is not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.

      Net Income and Earnings Per Common Share for the three months ended
January 31, 1997 have been previously restated as described in Note 5 of
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the
Company's Form 10-QSB/A (Amendment No.1) for the
