ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         ---------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

For the Quarter Ended May 30, 1998 compared with the Quarter Ended May 31,
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997.
- -----

In the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company had net earnings of
$440,323 or $.36 basic and diluted net earnings per share, compared to the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 which had net earnings of $167,787 or $.14
basic and diluted net earnings per share.  Sales of $5,926,692 increased
by $939,564 (18.8%) from the comparable quarter last year primarily due to
improved industry conditions.  The increase in sales and improvement in
earnings was principally at the Company's Amityville, New York operation.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased during the current
quarter to 63.4% from 64.6% during the comparable quarter of last year.
Management attributes this improvement to a better product mix and
production efficiencies. Selling expenses decreased as a percentage of
sales in the current fiscal quarter to 9.0% from 12.5% in the comparable
quarter of last year, principally due to lower commissions payable related
to the customer mix in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.  General and
administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales in the current
fiscal quarter, to 15.6% from 16.3% in the comparable quarter of last year.

The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended May 30, 1998,
reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 30.1%.
This rate is less than the federal statutory rate of 34% principally due
to a lower tax rate on the income generated by the Israeli operation offset
slightly by the provision for state income taxes.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, sales orders booked were $5.9
million and the closing backlog was $13.8 million compared with $4.6
million and $16.6 million, respectively, for the first quarter of fiscal
1998.  The closing backlog at fiscal year-end February 28, 1998 was $13.9
million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

May 30, 1998 compared with February 28, 1998
- --------------------------------------------

At May 30, 1998, the Company's ratio of current assets to current
liabilities was 3.6 to 1 compared to 3.2 at February 28, 1998.


                                Page 10
<PAGE>




During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, cash flows provided by continuing
operations amounted to approximately $739,000 as compared to approximately
$499,000 during the comparable period last year.  Cash flows were used
primarily to purchase capital equipment for $154,000 and repay short-term
and long-term debt of the Israeli subsidiaries through cash flows generated
by such subsidiaries of $379,000.  Accounts receivable declined $443,000
due to high February 1998 sales compared to more level monthly first
quarter fiscal 1999 sales.  Inventories increased by approximately $238,000
due to a reduction in progress billing of $354,000 (see Note 3 to
Consolidated Financial Statements).  Customer advances were reduced by
approximately $314,000.  Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased
primarily due to tax accruals.  The Company expects to spend up to $650,000
during the remainder of the year for capital equipment.

The agreements relating to the Company's 7-Day Demand Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds contain several restrictive covenants.  The
Company must, among other things, maintain profitable operations, a minimum
ratio of current assets to current liabilities, a minimum level of tangible
net worth, as defined, and must not exceed a specified debt to equity
ratio.  The tangible net worth covenant limits the ability of the Company
to pay cash dividends.  As a result of such covenant, there is
approximately $2,121,811 of unrestricted funds available for the payment
of cash dividends as of May 30, 1998.  Management anticipates using such
funds to enhance future operations and does not anticipate cash dividends
in the immediately foreseeable future.  In addition, commencing April 1,
1996, the Company is required to make monthly sinking fund payments of
$40,000 towards its annual bond payment.  Such amount is reflected as
restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company believes that its present resources, including available
credit, are sufficient to meet its needs for the foreseeable future.

Year 2000 Conversion
- --------------------

The Company is evaluating the risks and costs associated with the year 2000
conversion.  Based on the Company's ongoing evaluation, management
currently believes that the costs to achieve year 2000 compliance will not
result in costs significantly in excess of historical and/or planned levels
of capital expenditures.  The Company intends to communicate with its
customers, suppliers, financial institutions and others with which it does
business to ensure that year 2000 issues will be resolved in a timely
manner.  If necessary modifications and conversions by those with which the
Company does business are not completed timely, the year 2000 conversion
issue may have a material adverse financial impact on the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise

                                Page 11
<PAGE>




and Related Information" (SFAS No. 131), SFAS No. 131 established standards
to report information about operating segments and related discussions
about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.  SFAS
No. 131 is effective for financial statements for the reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 1997.  This statement permits early
application and requires restatement for all prior periods.  The Company
is currently evaluating the requirements of SFAS No. 131 and has not yet
determined what impact this statement will have on information reported
regarding industry segments.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and
Other Postretirement Benefits" (SFAS No. 132).  SFAS No. 132 revises
disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans.
Management of the Company does not believe that the implementation of SFAS
No. 132 will have a significant impact on previously reported information
regarding its employee pension plan.
