          ----------------------------------------------------------------

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------


For the first three months of fiscal 1996, the Registrant's financial condition
was as follows:

                          08-31-95     05-31-95    05-31-94
                         ----------   ----------  -----------


Current Assets           $3,311,658  $3,383,867   $3,451,897

Current Liabilities         871,505     971,283    2,296,618

Working Capital           2,440,153   2,412,584    1,154,979

Bank Debt &
Capitalized Leases        1,132,203   1,243,902    1,602,921

Shareholder Equity        2,650,118   2,527,489    2,335,594

Total Assets              4,277,932   4,389,267    4,632,512

For the three months ended August 31, 1995, net income increased $66,360
(159.4%) as compared to the year earlier.  The increase in net income is
primarily attributable to an improvement in cost of goods sold and increased
sales.

Net sales increased $53,715 (3.1%) compared to the year earlier period.  The
increase is the result of an increase in both the Registrant's domestic sales
force and foreign distributors.  To further increase sales, the Registrant
continues to search for new distributors, private label customers, and sales
representatives.  Additionally, the Registrant is very active in adding new
products to its growing product line.  By adding new products, the Registrant
believes its product line will appeal to a wider range of customers.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased from 59.4% to 56.3% as compared
to the year earlier period.  The improvement in gross margin is attributable to
actions taken in the first quarter to identify and correct manufacturing
problems that were causing unusually high levels of scrap.

Selling and general & administrative expenses increased $19,490 (3.3%) compared
to the year earlier period.  The increase is attributable to an increase in
personnel and the publishing of a new catalog, partially offset by reduced
professional fees.

Product development expenses decreased $333 (0.9%) compared to the year earlier
period.  The Registrant continues to invest time and money in product
development to develop new products, to identify products for purchase and
resale, and to improve manufacturing procedures.

Interest expense decreased $3,176 (8.0%) compared to the year earlier period,
reflecting reduced debt, partially offset by higher interest rates.

Working capital increased $27,569 during the three months, primarily because of
profitability and non-cash expenses.  The Registrant expects to meet its cash
requirements out of its cash reserves and cash flow.

NOTE F - MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
- --------------------------------


In May, 1990, the Registrant entered into a manufacturing subcontractor
agreement whereby, the subcontractor agreed to provide manufacturing services to
the Registrant through its affiliated entities located in Mexicali, B.C.,
Mexico.  The Registrant has moved the majority of its manufacturing operations
to Mexico.  Under the terms of the original agreement, the subcontractor
manufactured the Registrant's products based on an hourly rate per employee
based on the number of employees in the subcontractor's workforce.  As the
number of employees increased, the hourly rate decreased.  In December 1992, the
Registrant renegotiated the agreement changing  from an hourly rate per employee
to a pass through of actual costs plus a weekly administrative fee.  The amended
agreement gives the Registrant greater control over all costs associated with
the manufacturing operation.  In July, 1994, the Registrant again renegotiated
the agreement,  reducing the administrative fee and extending the agreement
through June 30, 1998.  After June 30, 1996, either party may terminate the
agreement with three months written notice.  The Registrant has retained the
option to convert the manufacturing operation to a wholly-owned subsidiary at
any time.  Should the Registrant discontinue operations in Mexico, it is
responsible for the accumulated employee seniority obligation as prescribed by
Mexican law.
