                         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 first quarter ended March 31, 1996 of 
$38.4 million, representing a 31% increase over the same quarter one year 
ago. Gross profit for the 1996 first quarter was $9.7 million representing a 
38% increase from the 1995 first quarter.  The quarterly sales increase 
reflected strong sales of train control systems, signal systems and asset 
management services.  Expenditures for research and development for the 
quarter increased 43% in 1996 over 1995 and increased as a percentage of 
sales from 3.5% in 1995 to 3.8% in 1996.  This increase represents the 
addition of engineering resources as well as 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 March 31, 
1996 increased to 25.3% from 24.0% for the same period last year. Last year's 
gross profit was negatively impacted by integration costs from the hot box 
detector line acquisition.  This factor along with the product mix among the 
Company's traditional products, partially offset by the higher proportionate 
sales of asset management services which provide a lower gross profit margin 
than sales of the Company's manufactured products, substantially account for 
this increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), in absolute dollars, 
increased 10% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same 
period a year ago.  The increased expenditures resulted principally from 
increased profit based incentive compensation for the current quarter.  
However, SG&A as a percentage of sales for the first quarter, at 16.1%, was 
down compared to 19.1% for the first quarter of 1995.  The decrease relative 
to sales was primarily due to leveraging costs over high sales volume.

Orders for the Company's products and services in the first quarter decreased 
slightly from $35.7 million in 1995 to $34.9 million in 1996.  The decrease 
in orders for the first quarter reflects decreased orders from transit 
customers, mostly offset by strong growth in the freight rail market in 
signal systems, train control systems, and asset management services orders 
compared to the prior year.  The order backlog at March 31, 1996 was $40.9 
million, down from $49.1 million at December 31, 1995 and $51.4 million one 
year ago.  The backlog decrease reflects the high shipment levels and 
comparison to backlog containing a large transit project order which was 
substantially completed by first quarter 1996.

Interest expense increased from $147 thousand to $255 thousand for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period last year.  Increased 
interest bearing debt incurred to fund working capital needs and  higher 
interest rates are the primary factors for the increased interest expense in 
1996.

The effective tax rate decreased to 37.9% from 41.8%.  This decrease is 
primarily the result of decreased non-deductible expenses and lower state 
income taxes.

The Company's liquidity and capital resources remain strong.  The Company has 
approximately $4 million available under existing bank lines of credit at the 
end of the first quarter of 1996, down from approximately $6 million at 
December 31, 1995 and $11 million one year ago.  The decrease reflects 
additional borrowing primarily to fund increased accounts receivables 
supporting the high level of shipments in the first quarter of 1996 and 
increased inventories to support anticipated shipments in the second quarter 
of 1996.
