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.

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

    The Registrant reported net losses of $237,016 and $742,476 for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1997 on sales revenue of $267,845 and
$1,023,250, respectively. This compares with a 1996 quarterly net loss of
$21,051 on sales revenue of $1,003,333 and a 1996 nine month net income of
$148,600 on sales revenue of $3,731,988. The significant decline in operating
income and revenues is primarily a result of production delays and decreasing
contract requirements on the Kearfott slip ring contract and production delays
on the ACALA Tank Turret slip ring contract. Gross profit was adversely impacted
by these production delays and low margins on products shipped during the
current periods. Despite significant overhead reductions, the depressed sales
levels and gross profit margins did not provide adequate coverage of
manufacturing overhead. This lack of overhead coverage thus resulted in the
reported gross profit deficits. The Registrant reduced operating expenses by 29%
over the first nine months of 1997 versus the similar period in 1996. This
reduction was primarily the result of lower personnel costs although various
other overheads were reduced in response to the lower sales and production
levels. Interest costs were higher during the current periods as a result of
increases in outstanding debt balances. Income tax benefits were accrued based
on the projected tax reductions anticipated to result in future periods from
carryover of the current operating losses.

    The financial condition of the Registrant has declined during 1997 as result
of the operating losses. This is evidenced by the $1,165,000 decline in working
capital during this time period. The Registrant borrowed $230,000 during the
third quarter and $715,000 over the first nine months of 1997 from bank sources
and the Registrants' officers and directors. The Registrants' line of credit was
not renewed by its primary bank effective May 1, 1997. The company is currently
past due on the repayment of the line of credit ($400,000) and an installment
loan ($66,665) with the same bank. As originally reported in the Registrant's
IO-QSB dated March 31, 1997 and subsequent form 8K filings, the Registrant is
pursuing alternative financing in order to address working capital requirements
and the delinquent loan balances. As of September 30, 1997, alternative short
term financing of $315,000 has been secured which includes $115,000 borrowed
from the company directors and officers and $200,000 borrowed from another bank,
with the guarantee of a major company stockholder. The company anticipates
continuing financing requirements until inventory reductions can support current
cash needs. Additional financing is under review and will be required in order
for the Registrant to meet its cash requirements. In the event that the
Registrant is unsuccessful in its attempt to obtain financing, it could result
in the inability to meet its current financial obligations. Continued operating
deficits are projected for the fourth quarter of 1997 although at lower levels
than experienced during the first nine months. Shipments on the Kearfott and
ACALA slip ring contracts are expected to resume during the fourth quarter of
1997 and be completed during the first half of 1998. The ability of the company
to return to profitable operating levels in the future is dependent on the
success of the new products that have resulted from the Applied Research
Programs; namely the Brushless Slip Ring and the Mercury Free Switch. Both
products are in the patent application stage with early positive customer
reaction. The company has received an order from Draper Laboratories for the
Brushless Slip Ring with significant production potential, if testing is
positive. In addition, the company has received and are bidding to large
customers other potentially significant contracts for future years.

    No other changes have occurred which would have a material effect on the
liquidity, financial condition or results of operations of the Registrant.
