            At April 30, 1995, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
            for federal income tax purposes of approximately $4,400,000 which
            are available to offset future federal taxable income, if any, for
            periods ending from fiscal 2004 through fiscal 2009.  In addition,
            the Company had alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of
            approximately $5,000 which are available to reduce future federal
            regular income taxes, if any, over an indefinite period.

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

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

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

 The Company made principal payments during the first quarter of fiscal 1996
on industrial revenue bonds (IRB) of $250,000 by utilizing the proceeds from
the sale of the New Mexico Real Estate Contract note receivable that related
to a fiscal 1994 sale of property in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  The $250,000
payment retired the principal outstanding on the Albuquerque, New Mexico IRB.

 The Company did not make the May 1, 1995, Piggott, Arkansas IRB payment of
principal and interest of approximately $84,000.  The payment was made by the
Arkansas Industrial Development Commission (which had guaranteed the IRB
payment) and discussions are in progress to negotiate a long-term repayment
schedule that would begin later in fiscal 1996.  The Arkansas Industrial
Development Commission has proposed to make the final $285,000 Piggott,
Arkansas IRB payment due on May 1, 1996, with a repayment schedule to be
negotiated.

 Accounts payable increased $307,000 from January 31, 1995 to April 30, 1995.
The increase was directly related to funds utilized in the operations during
the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Accounts payable decreased $210,000 for
the three month period ended April 30, 1994.  The decrease was directly
related to funds provided by the sale of the real estate during the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.

 Accounts receivable increased $167,000 from January 31, 1995. This was
primarily the result of the Utility Products operating group having greater
sales in March and April, 1995 compared to December 1994 and January 1995.
Accounts receivable increased $17,000 for the three month period ended April
30, 1994.

 Inventories increased $197,000 from January 31, 1995.  The Company plans a
reduction in inventories to more efficiently utilize working capital.

 As of April 30, 1995, the Company was in violation of the debt service
coverage ratio covenant in its loan agreement entered into with Norwest
Business Credit, Inc. ("Norwest").  This covenant is contained in the
agreement with Norwest for a standstill period expiring March 31, 1996,
during which period the Company has agreed to use its best efforts to obtain
alternative financing.  The Company is pursuing alternative lending sources
that are more accustomed to servicing the lower amounts of borrowing levels
that the Company currently requires; however, there is no assurance that such
alternative financing will be obtained.  As a result of the violation,
Norwest has the right to terminate the standstill period, call the loan and
exercise its remedies under the loan agreement.  The Company intends to
negotiate with Norwest for an agreement to continue the standstill period
while the Company pursues alternative lending sources; however, there is no
assurance that such an agreement will be obtained.

                                    -9-

 The Company had approximately $105,000 of credit available under the loan
agreement at April 30, 1995.  However, the Company is presently borrowing the
maximum amount permitted under the loan agreement based upon the collateral
borrowing base in the loan agreement.  The Company has made additional
personnel reductions in the Utility Products Group and implemented additional
cost reductions for the entire Company.  If, however, the Company continues
to experience significant operating losses in the future, there can be no
assurance sufficient capital will be available to meet its obligations.

 On March 28, 1995 the Company sold its remaining property in Albuquerque,
New Mexico for $375,000, of the total price, 10% was paid in cash and the
balance was paid by delivery of a New Mexico Real Estate Contract.  The
Contract bears a 10% interest rate with a payment schedule containing a 25
year amortization, with a balloon payment required after 7 years.  The
Company collaterally assigned the New Mexico Real Estate Contract to Norwest
in connection with the Standstill Agreement described above.

 Under the Standstill Agreement, the Company would receive 50% of the net
proceeds of the sale of the New Mexico Real Estate Contract, with the balance
being payable to the lender, which payment will permanently reduce the
borrowing availability under the loan agreement.  The net proceeds from such
a sale are estimated to be approximately $265,000.  In addition, subject to
the prior approval of the Company's Board of Directors, if the Company sells
the New Mexico Real Estate Contract and if the lender consents, the Company
will repurchase 250,000 shares of MRL, Inc. common stock for $78,125 under an
agreement with its former President.

 Sales decreased 17% for the three month period ended April 30, 1995, when
compared to the same period in fiscal 1995.  Changes in sales by operating

 The decrease in sales for the Utility Products Group in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 as compared with the same period in the prior year is a
continuation of the reduced level of demand by this group's customers.  The
Company is in the process of restructuring this group to enable it to
continue to operate at such a reduced sales level.  In May 1995, the Company
discontinued production for a two week period while continuing to meet
current production requirements.

                                    -10-
<PAGE> 11

 The Precision Metals Group's sales decrease for the three month period
ended April 30, 1995, compared with the same period in the prior year,
occurred primarily due to production difficulties with several new products
in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  The Company anticipates a growth in
sales from the Precision Metals Group for the balance of fiscal 1996 at
reasonable operating margins.

 Selling and administrative expenses for the three month period ended
April 30, 1995, included approximately $22,000 of a noncash expense
associated with the issuance of 100,000 shares of MRL, Inc. common stock to
the Company's new President and CEO.  Such expenses also included
approximately $38,000 under a separation agreement between the Company and
its former President and CEO.

 Interest expense for the three month period ended April 30, 1995 was
$40,000, a $2,000 decrease compared to the same period in fiscal 1995, which
was due to lower debt levels.  However, due to current levels of borrowing
and interest rate increases, the Company expects interest expense to increase
in the near-term.

 For the three month period ended April 30, 1995, the Company experienced
a $29,000 gain from the sale of fixed assets, when the Company sold the
remaining Albuquerque, New Mexico real estate for $375,000.  In addition, the
Company recorded a deferred gain of approximately $258,000, which will be
recognized upon the collection of the New Mexico Real Estate Contract.

 For the three month period ended April 30, 1994, the Company experienced
a $676,000 gain from the sale of the St. Charles real estate on March 31,
1994, which amount was reflected in discontinued operations, net of income
taxes.

 The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS
No. 109")  issued in February 1992.  For the three month period ended April
30, 1995, the Company recorded $74,000 of income tax benefit compared to
$178,000 of income tax expense in the same period in fiscal 1995.  For the
period ended April 30, 1994, discontinued operations contained $250,000 of
income tax expense.

 For the three months ended April 30, 1995, the net loss was $128,000
compared to net income of $299,000 for the same period in the prior year.
The fiscal 1996 period was adversely affected by decreased sales volume and
the non-recurring selling and administrative expenses mentioned above.  The
fiscal 1995 period contained the gain from the real estate sale recorded in
discontinued operations.  Without the unusual selling and administrative
expenses, the operating loss in fiscal 1996 would have been $131,000, which
is less than the $156,000 operating loss in fiscal 1995.

 The Company has been contacted regarding a paint warranty issue by the
end user of standby power units supplied during fiscal 1994 with powder
coated paint, in connection with substantial paint imperfections on such
units.  In late December 1994 the Company's customer, who had received the
standby power units and ultimately shipped them to the end user, filed a
breach of contract lawsuit against the Company in an amount to be determined,
but in excess of $900,000.  The Company has investigated and verified the
extent of the problem, and estimates that it is possible that the cost to
correct the paint imperfections could exceed $1,000,000.  It is the opinion
of the Company that the liability for correction of this problem is the
responsibility of an independent vendor that performed the powder coating for
the Company.  Should the vendor be unable to satisfy this liability, which
the Company understands is likely to be the case, it is the opinion of
management that the Company has insurance coverage that will satisfy this
liability  However, in December 1994 the Company's insurance carrier denied
coverage.  The Company has been sued for breach of contract with respect to
the paint problem and, in turn, has brought suit against its insurance
carrier seeking to be defended and indemnified by the carrier against this
suit.  Management continues to be of the opinion that Company resources will
not be required to satisfy this liability.

Item 3.      Defaults Upon Senior Securities
             -------------------------------

             The Company failed to make a required principal and interest
             payment on May 1, 1995, of approximately $84,000 on its Piggott,
             Arkansas industrial revenue bonds.  The payment was made by the
             Arkansas Industrial Development Commission ("Commission"), which
             had guaranteed the bonds payment.  The Company is in discussions
             with the Commission regarding a repayment schedule.  The
             Commission has proposed to make the final $285,000 bond payment
             due May 1, 1996 and to negotiate a repayment schedule with the
             Company.

             The Company has entered into a Standstill Agreement with its
             principal lender for a period ending March 31, 1996.  The Company
             is in default under its loan agreement due to not meeting various
             financial covenants.  The lender has agreed not to call the loan
             during the standstill period so long as the Company uses its best
             efforts to refinance the loan with a third party and otherwise
             complies with the loan agreement, including a revised debt service
             coverage ratio.  As of April 30, 1995, the Company failed to meet
             that ratio.  As a result, the lender has the right to terminate
             the standstill period, call the loan, and exercise its remedies
             under the loan agreement.  The Company intends to negotiate with
             its principal lender for an agreement to continue the standstill
             period while the Company pursues alternative lending sources;
             however, there is no assurance that such an agreement will be
             obtained.
