Note 1 - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1995, the condensed
consolidated statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 have been
prepared by the Company, without audit. However, all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows at September 30, 1995, and for all periods presented, have been made.
The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 1994 annual
report to shareholders.

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

Results of Operations

Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were $3,465,229 up 28 percent
from third quarter 1994 sales of $2,700,244. The increase in third quarter sales
is primarily due to an increase in the total domestic and foreign sales volume
of the Company's permeation and weighing products, and to a lesser extent
general price increases.

Total sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 were up 20
percent to $9,362,912 compared with $7,822,310 for the first nine months of
1994. The increase is primarily due to an increase in the domestic and foreign
sales volume of the Company's permeation and weighing products, and to a lesser
extent general price increases.

The Company's permeation product group sales totaled $2,253,664 in the third
quarter of 1995, compared with $1,690,159 in the third quarter of 1994. The
group accounted for 65 percent of the Company's total third quarter 1995 sales,
compared with 63 percent in the third quarter of 1994. Permeation product group
sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 were $6,224,741 or 66
percent of total sales, versus $5,103,508 or 65 percent of sales for the same
period in 1994.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 66 percent for both the quarter and
the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. This compares with 64 and 63
percent for the quarter and the nine month periods ended September 30, 1994. The
increase in the 1995 third quarter and nine month gross profit margin
percentages are due primarily to the increase in sales volume for these periods.

Research and development expenses for the three month and the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995 were 9 and 8 percent of sales respectively, compared
with 8 percent for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1994.
Continued research and development expenditures are necessary as the Company
develops new and improved products to expand in its niche markets. Historically,
the Company's annual research and development expenditures have been in a range
from 7 to 9 percent of sales. The Company expects its annual 1995 research and
development expenses to be on the upper end of the historical range.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 29 percent of sales in the
third quarter of 1995 compared to 31 percent for the third quarter of 1994.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 30 percent and 32 percent for
the nine month periods ending September 30, 1995 and 1994 respectively. The
increase in the total gross dollar amount of selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three months and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995
was due primarily to increases in commission expenses due to the increased
sales. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales is due primarily to a decrease in general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales.

Investment income increased approximately $10,000 in the third quarter of 1995
as compared to the third quarter of 1994. This increase is the result of
increased average investment balances in the third quarter of 1995 and a higher
average yield on investments. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995,
investment income increased approximately $14,000. The increase for the nine
month period ending September 30, 1995 is the net result of higher average
yields on investments offset somewhat by lower average investment balances.

The Company's provision for income taxes was 33.8 percent of income before
income taxes for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 1995. The
Company reviews the tax rate quarterly and could make adjustments to reflect
changing estimates. Based on current operating conditions and income tax laws
the Company expects the effective tax rate for all of 1995 to be in a range of
33 to 35 percent.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position. Cash, temporary
cash investments and current marketable securities totaled $5,829,884 as of
September 30, 1995. This is a decrease of $81,230 compared to the total of
$5,911,114 as of December 31, 1994. Long-term marketable securities increased
$1,855,775 to $4,222,778 during the same period. The Company paid dividends of
approximately $679,000 in the first nine months of 1995.

The Company has no long-term debt and has no material commitments for capital
expenditures as of September 30, 1995. The Company's plant and equipment do not
require any major expenditures to accommodate a significant increase in
operating demands. The Company anticipates that a combination of its existing
cash, temporary cash investments and marketable securities, plus an expected
continuation of cash flow from operations, will continue to be adequate to fund
operations, capital expenditures and dividend payments in the foreseeable
future.
