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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales:

  Net sales for the second  quarter and six months ended  November 30, 1996 were
  $1,317,629 and $3,207,748,  which was a decrease of 48% and 19%, respectively,
  compared to sales for the same periods last year. The second quarter  decrease
  was a result of the Company  closing its  facilities  in  Parkersburg,  IA and
  Cedar Falls, IA and moving into the newly constructed plant in the Cedar Falls
  Industrial  Park.  The move,  which was entirely  completed  during the second
  quarter,  caused reduced  shipments of wholegoods for a period of eight weeks.
  With the new facility  beginning  operation  in the month of  December,  1996,
  shipments  rebounded to surpass the previous year by  approximately  $110,000.
  The Company feels  confident  that the shortfall is a temporary  result of the
  move and the trend  experienced  in December will continue to increase  during
  the third  quarter.  Total open orders on December  31, 1996 were $3.5 million
  compared to $1.5 million on the same date last year. The increased  backlog is
  a result of a successful  early order sales  program for units to be delivered
  for the spring  selling  season.  The  decrease for the six month period was a
  result of the reasons  mentioned  above,  offset by the first quarter increase
  from the timing of the Clay Equipment acquisition occuring on June 26, 1995.


Operating Costs & Expenses:

  The Company's  cost of goods sold for the second  quarter and six months ended
  November  30, 1996  decreased  to 71% and 70%  compared to 74% and 75% for the
  same  periods  of the  previous  year.  The  decreases  were a result of fixed
  overhead expenses being reduced during the down time of the move, the majority
  of the moving  expenses  being  borne by local and  federal  agencies  and the
  elimination of duplication of efforts from operating out of two facilities.

  Operating  expenses  decreased to $620,127 and increased to $1,263,742 for the
  second quarter and six months ended November 30, 1996 compared to $621,834 and
  $1,158,830  for the same  periods  last year.  The  increase for the six month
  period primarily  resulted from incremental  expenses incurred from the timing
  of the acquisition of Clay Equipment as mentioned above.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest Expense:

  Interest expense  decreased 49% to $27,607 from $53,830 for the second quarter
  and 41% to $51,192 from  $86,237 for the six months  ended  November 30, 1996.
  The  decrease  was due to  lower  levels  of  short-term  and  long-term  debt
  outstanding during the period.


Income Tax Expense:

  The income tax credits of $84,350 and $2,300 for the quarters  ended  November
  30, 1996 and 1995 and $103,450  and $74,300 for the six months ended  November
  30, 1996 and 1995,  represent  the benefit  that would be received if the loss
  for the periods were carried back to reclaim income tax paid in prior years.


Material Changes in Financial Position:

  The Company's loss from operations of $187,678  combined with net purchases of
  fixed assets of approximately  $500,000,  (net of depreciation),  offset by an
  increase in trade  receivables and inventories of approximately  $120,000 that
  were  funded by  long-term  line of credit,  resulted in a decrease in working
  capital of $536,950.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

  At  November  30,  1995 the Company  had  working  capital of  $3,191,840,  an
  increase of $252,767 over a year ago and a decrease of $536,950  since May 31,
  1996.  The  increase  from a year ago is  primarily  a result of  $249,350  of
  equipment that was  reclassified to current assets held for sale. The increase
  since May 31, 1996 is described  above.  The current  ratio  decreased to 2.67
  from 3.43 at May 31, 1996. The Company  anticipates no significant outlays for
  property and equipment in the foreseeable  future. The Company believes it has
  access to sufficient working capital for its present and foreseeable future.
