Note 1 - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, the condensed
consolidated statements of income for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash
flows for the six month periods ended June 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 June 30, 1995, and for all periods presented, have been made. The results of
operations for the period ended June 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 June 30, 1995 were $3,069,162, up 14 percent from
second quarter 1994 sales of $2,683,587. The increase in second quarter sales is
primarily attributable to an increase in the total domestic and foreign sales
volume of the Company's permeation products and to general price increases.

Sales for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 increased 15 percent to
$5,897,683, compared with $5,122,066 for the first six months of 1994. The 15
percent increase is primarily due to an increase in the sales volume of the
Company's permeation and weighing products, and to general price increases.

The Company's permeation product group sales totaled $2,146,248 in the second
quarter of 1995, compared with $1,779,681 in the second quarter of 1994. The
group accounted for 70 percent of the Company's total second quarter 1995 sales,
compared with 66 percent in the second quarter of 1994. Permeation product group
sales for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 were $3,971,077, or 67
percent of total sales, versus $3,413,349 or 67 percent of sales for the same
period in 1994.

Gross profit for the quarter and the six month period ended June 30, 1995 was 66
and 65 percent of sales, respectively. This compares with 60 and 62 percent for
the quarter and the six month periods ended June 30, 1994. Factors affecting the
increase in gross profit margin include the increased sales volume and the
pricing increases.

Research and development expenses as a percent of sales were 8 percent for the
quarter and for the six month period ended June 30, 1995 as compared to 8
percent for the same periods in 1994. Continued research and development
expenditures are necessary as the Company develops new products to expand in its
niche markets. For the foreseeable future, the Company expects to allocate on an
annual basis approximately 7 to 9 percent of sales to research and development.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 30 percent of sales in the
second quarter of 1995. This percentage is comparable with the 31 percent for
the second quarter of 1994. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 31
percent and 32 percent for the six month periods ending June 30, 1995 and 1994
respectively. The overall dollar increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses for the quarter and the six month period ending June 30, 1995 is
primarily the result of increased commission expenses caused by the increase in
sales. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales is due primarily to a decline in general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of sales.

Investment income increased approximately $6,000 in the second quarter of 1995
as compared to the second quarter of 1994. For the six months ended June 30,
1995, investment income increased approximately $4,000. The increase is the
result of higher average investment yields in 1995 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 six month periods ending June 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 $6,748,504 as of June
30, 1995. This is an increase of $837,390, compared to the total of $5,911,114
as of December 31, 1994. Long-term marketable securities decreased $201,545 to
$2,165,458 during the same period. The Company paid dividends of approximately
$453,000 in the first six months of 1995.

The Company has no long-term debt and has no material commitments for capital
expenditures as of June 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.
