             NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          (Unaudited)



Note 1.  Condensed Financial Statements

      The condensed balance sheet as of August 31, 1996 and the   
      statements of operations and cash flows for the three
      months ended August 31, 1996 and 1995, have been prepared
      by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of
      management, all adjustments (which include only normal
      recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
      financial position, results of operations and cash flows
      at August 31, 1996 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 principals have been
      condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these
      condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
      the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
      Company's May 31, 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders.  The
      results of operations for the periods ended August 31,
      1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
      operating results for the full year.

  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales:

  Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 31% to
  $1,890,119 compared to $1,445,179 for the same period last year.
  The increase was primarily a result of the incremental sales
  picked up in the acquisition of Clay Equipment of $421,638.  The 
  prior years first quarter only included two months for Clay    
  Equipment sales because the acquisition occurred on June 26,
  1995.  Also, a sales increase of approximately $200,000 of Top  
  Air products was offset by a similar sales decrease of Clay
  products.

Operating Costs & Expenses:

  The Company's cost of goods sold for the quarter ended August 31, 1996
  decreased to 70% of net sales compared to 75% for the first 
  quarter of the previous year.  The decrease, as a percentage of
  sales, was a result of overhead being spread over a higher volume
  of sales, with a majority of the sales increase consisting of 
  wholegoods which have higher profit margins than parts sales.  

  Operating expenses increased 20% to $643,615 for the first 
  quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $536,996 for the previous 
  year.  The increase was primarily a result of the incremental 
  expenses incurred from the Clay Equipment acquisition because
  as mentioned above the prior years first quarter only included
  two months of Clay activity.

Interest Expense:

  Interest expense decreased 27% to $23,585 compared to $32,407 for
  the first quarter of last year.  The decrease was due to lower
  levels of short-term and long-term debt outstanding during the  
  period.
  
Income Taxes:

  The income tax credits of $19,100 and $72,000 for the quarters
  ended August 31, 1996 and 1995, represent the benefit that would
  be received if the loss of the quarter was carried back to 
  reclaim income tax paid in prior years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Material Changes in Financial Position:

  The Company's loss from operations of $38,079 combined with net 
  purchaes of fixed assets of approximately $100,000, net of 
  depreciation, offset by an increase in a long-term line of credit
  of approximately $420,000 used to pay current liabilities,
  resulted in an increase in working capital of approximately
  $270,000. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

  At August 31, 1996 the Company had working capital of $3,999,937
  an increase of $932,191 over a year ago and an increase of
  $271,147 since May 31, 1996.  The increase from a year ago was
  a result of reclassifying approximately $728,000 of equipment to
  current assets held for sale related to relocation of the old
  Clay facility to the newly constructed plant and approximately a
  $300,000 reduction in short term debt without a related increase 
  in receivables or inventory.  The increase since May 31, 1996 is
  described above.  The current ratio increased to 4.51 from 3.43 
  at May 31, 1996.  The Company anticipates no significant out lays
  for property and equipment in the forseeable future.  The company
  believes it has access to sufficient working capital for its
  present and forseeable future.
