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 third quarter compared to the
fourth quarter of 1998. Inventory increased due to increased shipments
scheduled for the fourth quarter.

          Accounts and note payable decrease resulted primarily from paying
down the line of credit $200,000. Other current liabilities decreased mainly
from paying the fiscal year 1998 accrued bonus combined with a lower accrual
for 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 additional paid-in capital.

          Material Changes in Results of Operations. Sales in the first nine
months of 1999 were 21% lower than the first nine 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 nine months of 1999
compared to 61% a year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
34% in the first nine months of 1999 compared to 30% in the same period a
year ago. The increase primarily results from the Company deciding to keep
nearly




                                                                   Pg 3 of 14



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
for the balance of the year.

          The order backlog of $3,867,000 at the end of the third quarter
ended July 31, 1999 compares with $3,672,000 at the end of the previous
quarter ended April 30, 1999 and $4,674,000 at the end of the third 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 efforts of the
Company to increase sales in the fourth quarter.

          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 than 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 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 caused a disruption of basic services such as utilities or
banking or a sustained disruption on 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 than year 2000 concerns. The total
cost of the upgrade was approximately $150,000.
