                         PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

The Company posted record sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995
of $38.0 million, representing a 29% increase over the same quarter one year
ago.  Gross profit for the 1995 third quarter was $9.6 million representing an
11% increase from the 1994 third quarter.  The quarterly sales increase
reflected strong sales of train control systems, signal systems and products and
the additional sales from the Company's recent acquisitions.  Expenditures for
research and development for the quarter increased as a percentage of sales from
2.7% in 1994 to 4.0%.  This increase represents a shift of engineering resources
from application engineering projects to research and development activities.
As a percentage of sales, gross profit for the three months ended September 30,
1995 decreased to 25.2% from 29.4% for the same period last year.  The decrease
resulted primarily from the increase in research and development expenditures,
integration costs incurred from absorption of the hot box detector acquisition,
and the product mix among the Company's traditional products partially offset by
the smaller proportionate sales of asset management services which provide a
lower gross profit margin than sales of the Company's manufactured products.


Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased 15% over last year
to a record $100.3 million.  The sales growth is principally reflected in train
control systems, signal systems and products, carborne products and the
additional sales provided from the Company's recent acquisitions, partially
offset by decreased sales of asset management services.  Year to date research
and development expenditures increased 36% in 1995. As a percentage of sales,
research and development increased from 3.2% in 1994 to 3.7% reflecting the
shift of engineering resources from applications projects to research and
development activities.  Gross profit for the nine month period increased $26.3
million but decreased as a percentage of sales to 26.2% in 1995 from 29.0% in
1994.  This decrease in margin percentage reflects the same factors as noted
above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in absolute dollars,
increased 10% for the three months and 12% for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 compared to the same periods a year ago.  The increased expenditures
resulted principally from increased sales and marketing resources, the costs to
move and integrate the recently acquired Servo operations into the Company's
manufacturing operations in California and expenses associated with new computer
systems implementations.  However, SG&A as a percentage of sales for the third
quarter, at 14.4%, was down compared to 16.9% for the third quarter of 1994.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, SG&A expenses were 17.0% of sales,
down from 17.4% for the same period in 1994.  The decreases relative to sales
are due to reductions of incentive compensation based on targeted profits and
the leveraging of costs over higher sales volumes.

Orders for the Company's products and services increased from $25.7 million in
1994 to $28.8 million in 1995 for the third quarter and from $80.4 million in
1994 to $101.7 million in 1995 for the nine months ended September 30.  The
increase in orders in the third quarter and year to date reflect strong growth
in the freight rail market in signal systems and train control systems orders
compared to the prior year as well as the addition of the two recent
acquisitions by the Company.  The increase in orders for the third quarter also
reflect increased orders from transit customers.  Consequently, the order
backlog at September 30, 1995 was $44.5 million, comparable to the $44.6 million
at December 31, 1994 and up significantly from $29.8 million one year ago.

Interest expense increased from $85 thousand to $197 thousand for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same period last year.  Year to
date interest expense through September 30, 1995 also increased
 to $534 thousand from $208 thousand in 1994.  Increased interest bearing debt
incurred to help fund the two recent acquisitions and their working capital
needs and higher interest rates are the primary factors for the increased
interest expense in 1995.

The Company's liquidity and capital resources remain strong.  The Company has
approximately $11 million available under existing bank lines of credit at the
end of the third quarter of 1995, down from approximately $19 million at both
December 31, 1994 and one year ago.  The decreases reflect additional borrowing
to fund the Company's two recent acquisitions and their working capital needs as
well as increased inventories to support anticipated high level of shipments for
the remainder of 1995.
