                       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 six months of 1999 versus the same
period a year ago. Inventory decreased due to lower shipments in the first
six months of 1999. Other current assets increased primarily from prepaid
insurance.

     Accounts and note payable decrease resulted primarily from lower
accounts payable. Other current liabilities decreased mainly from paying the
fiscal year 1998 accrued bonus combined with lower accruals for customer
deposits and commissions. The Company also paid in full the remaining portion
of the term debt which included $360,000 in other current liabilities.

     Long term debt was completely paid off in the first six months of 1999,
approximately two and one half years ahead of schedule.

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


                                 Page 2 of 14




          Material Changes in Results of Operations. Sales in the first six
months of 1999 were 21% lower than the first six months of 1998. Lower sales
are the result of a lower backlog going into fiscal year 1999 and a
continuing weakness in booking new business for the Company's Prab Conveyor
product line.

          Costs of products sold were 63% in the first six months of 1999
compared to 61% a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
35% in the first six months of 1999 compared to 30% in the same period a year
ago. The increase primarily results from the Company deciding to retain
nearly all employees and focus on increasing sales in the short term rather
than try to cut costs by laying off employees due to the lower sales.

          Interest expense decreased as a result of lower debt. With the
early payoff of the term debt, interest expense will be significantly lower
in the last six months of the year.

          The order backlog of $3,672,000 at the end of the second quarter
ended April 30, 1999 compares with $2,829,00 at the end of the previous
quarter ended January 31, 1999 and $4,732,000 at the end of the second
quarter a year ago. Sales and earnings are expected to be materially lower in
fiscal year 1999. The extent of the decrease in sales and earnings cannot be
accurately determined at this time and will be affected by the general
economy in 1999 and efforts by the Company to increase sales and reduce
expenses.

          Year 2000 Issue. The company has been, and is currently, in process
of addressing a significant issue facing all users of automated information
systems. The problem is that many computer systems that process transactions
based on two digits representing the year of transaction may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather that the year 2000, or otherwise not
properly process dates in the year 2000.

          The Company has evaluated its products, both past and present, for
the year 2000 compliance. None of the products that the Company currently
supplies contain a date function, and therefore, are not affected by the year
2000 problem. While the Company cannot determine with certainty that no
products supplied in the past are affected by the year 2000 problem, the
Company is not aware of any such products which contain a year 2000 defect.

          The Company has evaluated its internal systems and, in the opinion
of management, there is no reason to believe that any


                                 Page 3 of 14




computer systems or software used internally by the Company will materially
affect its operations or any transactions with any customer, supplier or
business partner, now or in the future. The Company has also conducted an
evaluation of its key suppliers of goods and services and, in the opinion of
management, there is no reason to believe that any computer systems operated
by the Company's suppliers and business partners will encounter a year 2000
problem which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's
operations. In addition, the Company believes that it has alternative sources
for all goods and services presently provided to the Company. In the event
that the year 2000 problem causes a disruption of basic services such as
utilities or banking or a sustained disruption of the economy in general, the
Company will be adversely affected. The Company has not adopted any
contingency plans regarding the year 2000 because it does not believe any
materially adverse events are likely to occur for which such plans would be
of benefit.

          The Company anticipates that its total expenditures to address the
year 2000 problem will not exceed $50,000. This amount does not include the
cost of upgrading the Company's computer system in fiscal year 1998, which
upgrade was undertaken for reasons other that year 2000 concerns. The total
cost of the upgrade was approximately $150,000.

5. LONG-TERM DEBT:

          The Company's 12% subordinated notes were repaid in November 1997.
Since the payoff amount of this debt exceeded its carrying amount, the
transaction decreased income by $77,512 net of income taxes of $39,931.
