NOTE #1   INVENTORIES
          -----------

      On an interim basis, the cost of goods sold and resulting inventory
      valuation is calculated using the gross profit method. A physical
      inventory is taken December 31 of each year and a distribution into raw
      materials, work in process and finished goods is only available at that
      time.

PART 1 - ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPERATIONS
- ----------

The Registrant reported a net loss of $21,051 for the quarter ended 
September 30, 1996 resulting in a nine month net income of $148,600 on sales
revenue of $1,003,333 and $3,731,988 for the three and nine month periods,
respectively. This compares with 1995 third quarter net income of $26,657 on
sales of $1,078,578 and a nine month loss of $235,572 on sales of $2,723,269.
While 1996 third quarter results are somewhat lower than 1995 results for the
similar period, a significant improvement in year to date results are still
being reflected due to 1996 production increases in the slip ring product lines.
This area experienced production delays and problems during the first half of
1995, thus negatively impacting results for that period, while uninterrupted
operations during 1996 and the addition of various new slip ring customers have
contributed to the current year results. Gross profit as a percentage of sales
revenue declined in both comparable periods due to 1996 shipments of various new
and developmental products. Operating expenses have shown slight increases
during the current periods while interest costs were lower as debt was
significantly reduced. Income taxes were provided for based on statutory rates.

The financial condition of the Registrant has improved during 1996 as cash
balances have increased by $195,727 and working capital has increased by
$118,361.  The operating profits and reductions in inventory balances have
enabled the company to reduce outstanding loan balances by $212,500 during 1996.
The Registrant purchased fixed assets of $120,025 during 1996, while charging
$88,529 against income for depreciation purposes.

The Registrant anticipates lower production and shipment levels on its major
slip ring contract with Kearfott Guidance and Navigation Corp. in the final
quarter of 1996 as the Kearfott Contract phases down.  While the Registrant
anticipates an overall revenue increase in the fourth quarter of 1996 as
compared to the previous quarter, operating results are expected to be
negatively impacted by a less favorable product mix.  The sales revenue from the
Kearfott Contract ending in 1996, which represents approximately 75% for the
Registrant's 1996 revenues, will not be immediately replaceable and, thus, the
Registrant is expected to experience significantly lower revenue levels and
operating deficits in 1997.  In an effort to offset the impact of the conclusion
of this Contract, the Registrant is aggressively pursuing new customers for
conventional slip rings, investing in applied research to develop new products
and continuing its merger and acquisition efforts.  Continuing increases in cash
balances and reduction of inventory and loan balances over the remainder of 1996
should enable the Registrant to enter 1997 in a strong balance sheet position.

Fifth Dimension has been advised by their customer Kearfott Guidance and
Navigation Corp. of sample test failures within a Production Lot containing more
than 200 IMU Slip Rings valued at approximately $780,000.  Based upon Fifth
Dimension's experience with previous sample test failures, such failures could
have occurred because of a problem with the testing or could have occurred
because of a failure of the units themselves.  If the failure is the result of
the units themselves, the units will be returned to Fifth Dimension and could
require additional testing, repair or replacement.  The contractual arrangement
between Kearfott and Fifth Dimension sets forth a procedure for resolving sample
test failures of units, which procedure has commenced.  However, as of this date
it is too early to determine the responsibility or action required.  It is not
expected that the disposition and impact will be immediately known.

Other than the matters presented in the previous paragraphs, no other changes
have occurred which would have a material affect on liquidity, financial
condition or results of operations of the Registrant.
