In November 1996, the Company made another annual principal payment of
$1,666,666 on the unsecured, 9.86%, seven year private placement term notes,
leaving a balance of $1,666,667. The final principal payment on this debt,

In November 1996, the Company increased the line of credit facility from        
$17,500,000 to $19,500,000 with a principal payment of $2,000,000 due by
February 28, 1997. The Company expects to refinance the $2,000,000 principal
payment due at the end of February, 1997. Under the Company's line of credit
agreement, a  principal amount of $2,500,000 was due no later than January 2,
1997. In December 1996, the proceeds from the sale of the Bedford Heights, Ohio
tubular facility were utilized to pay down the $2,500,000 principal amount to 
$1,379,100. In January 1997, proceeds from a federal income tax refund were 
used to pay the remaining principal amount due.

The agreements relating to the Company's outstanding debt include various
covenants that limit its ability to incur additional indebtedness, and restricts
paying dividends, as well as require it to meet various financial covenants. At

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES- Net product sales for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 were 
$29,660,800, an increase of 14.2% from $25,961,500 in the comparable quarter.
Increased revenue was due primarily to new contracts awarded to Bliss
Manufacturing in the Manufactured Products Division which had an overall sales
increase of $2,400,000  for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 as compared to
the quarter ended December 31, 1995. Continued strong European sales in the
Consumer Goods Division, and new product sales of the " Defender " room air
cleaner and aftermarket sales contributed to the sale increase that offset some
softness in the North American and Asian markets. Sales in the Consumer Goods
Division increased $1,300,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 over the
quarter ended December 31, 1995.

FINANCING REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME - Financing revenues represent the interest
and fees generated on the contracts financed by the Company's Australian,
Canadian, and United States subsidiaries.

GROSS PROFIT - Gross profit for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 was
$7,889,500 or 26.6% compared to $7,164,100 or 27.6% in the quarter ended
December 31, 1995. In the Consumer Goods Division, cost reduction initiatives in
manufacturing yielded increased productivity, resulting in higher margins versus
the comparable period in 1995. This increase was offset by lower margins in the
Manufactured Products Division. Pricing pressures from a market with excess
capacity, and a change in product mix resulted in lower gross margins for the
comparable period in 1995.

SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling, general and
administrative expenses were $84,200 higher for the quarter ended December 31,
1996 on increased sales compared to the quarter ended December 31, 1995. As a
percent to sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 23.3% versus
26.2% for the comparable period.

Cost containment measures initiated in fiscal 1996 continued to drive expenses
down in the first fiscal quarter. In the Consumer Goods Division, an aggressive
program of selling costs reduction has resulted in lower expenses on increased
sales. The Manufactured Products Division is experiencing lower costs due to
reduced legal expenses connected to labor relations and contract negotiations
that were settled in the prior comparable period.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense has increased as a result of additional
borrowings during fiscal year 1996. Interest on bank lines of credit was
$368,700 and $203,500 during the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The working capital balance at December 31, 1996 was $24,283,000, a decrease of
4.4% from the September 30, 1996 balance of $25,401,000.

The Company's cash increased $3,800 during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
Receivables increased by $533,500 primarily as a result of increases in trade   
receivables of $1,558,700, finance contracts receivables of $314,400, offset by
a $1,317,000 write-off of trade receivables, previously reserved. The increase
in trade receivables was primarily due to an increase in sales for the
comparable period. Accounts payable decreased $1,492,400 due to an improvement
in the Company's restricted cash position.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were
$324,700 and $605,000, respectively. For the quarter, capital expenditures in
the Consumer Goods Division were $283,900 and $40,800 in the Manufactured
Products Division. Significant expenditures in the Consumer Goods Division
consisted of $193,000 for customized computer software and $56,500 for leasable
carpet cleaning machinery. No significant additions were made for the
Manufactured Products Division.

In November 1996, the Company made another annual principal payment of
$1,666,666 on the unsecured, 9.86%, seven year private placement term notes,
leaving a balance of $1,666,667. The final principal payment on this debt,
obtained in November 1990 to finance the acquisition of Bliss Manufacturing
Company, is required in November 1997.

In November 1996, the Company increased the line of credit facility from 
$17,500,000 to $19,500,000 with a principal payment of $2,000,000 due by
February 28, 1997. The Company expects to refinance the $2,000,000 principal
payment due at the end of February, 1997. Under the Company's line of credit
agreement, a principal amount of $2,500,000 was due no later than January 2,
1997. In December 1996, the proceeds from the sale of the Bedford Heights, Ohio
tubular facility were utilized to pay down the $2,500,000 principal amount to
$1,379,100. In January 1997, proceeds from a federal income tax refund were
used to pay the remaining principal amount due.

The agreements relating to the Company's outstanding debt include various
covenants that limit its ability to incur additional indebtedness, and restricts
paying dividends, as well as require it to meet various financial covenants. At
December 31,1996, the Company was not in compliance with certain of these
covenants contained in its credit agreements; however, the Company obtained
waiver on these covenants through December 31, 1996.
