PART III, Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION is replaced with the following:

                        EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation set forth
below describes the Company's compensation policies applicable to executive
officers and the Committee's basis for Mr. Hanley's compensation as Chief
Executive Officer for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998.

             COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of
the nonemployee directors, determines the compensation of all executive officers
of the Company, administers the Company's Stock Option Plan, including the grant
of stock options thereunder, and acts on other compensation matters.

         The Committee reviews the compensation of all executive officers at
least once a year. The Company's executive compensation contains the following
three elements: base salary, bonus earned under the Company's Variable Pay Plan
and periodic stock option grants. In setting base salary compensation for
executive officers, the Committee may review publicly available executive
compensation surveys of technology oriented manufacturing companies with annual
sales comparable to those of the Company. The Committee considers making an
adjustment to the base salary of each executive officer based upon the
relationship of current compensation to the comparable compensation levels
reported in the surveys and a subjective judgement on the officer's performance
during the last year.

         In fiscal year 1998, Mr. Hanley and the other executive officers
voluntarily reduced their base salaries by 20%, effective July 27, 1998, in view
of the financial performance of the Company. Consequently, Mr. Hanley's base
salary was reduced from $220,000 to $176,000. These voluntary salary reductions
were accepted by the Compensation Committee.

         The Variable Pay Plan for executive officers is part of a variable pay
plan in effect for all of the Company's employees. Under this plan, executive
officers are compensated based on the earnings per share results of the Company
versus the earnings per share goal in the Company's Operating Plan for the
fiscal year. Specifically, the Chief Executive Officer's variable pay bonus is
determined by multiplying his base salary by the following two factors: first,
his participation rate percentage, which was 50% of his base salary for 1998,
and second, the pay-out percentage, which is determined by a formula specified
in the Plan based on the Company's actual earnings per share versus the earnings
per share in the Company's Operating Plan for fiscal year 1998. The
participation rate times the payout percentage times base compensation equals
the Variable Pay Plan bonus. For fiscal year 1998, because the Company did not
meet the earnings per share objective contained in its 1998 Operating Plan, Mr.
Hanley and the other executive officers did not receive a variable pay bonus.

         In fiscal year 1998, the Committee granted a stock option to purchase
10,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to Mr. Riedel. In granting this
stock option, the Committee took into account the level of Mr. Riedel's base
salary and the number of stock options previously granted to him and currently
held by the other officers. The Company has no specific plan or formula for
determining the frequency of grants or number of options granted.




                                        By the Compensation Committee,

                                        William T. Burgin
                                        Allen E. Busching

(1)  One grant of 10,000 shares was made to Mr. Riedel on August 6, 1998.
     Options become exercisable as to 25% of the shares annually beginning one
     year after grant.

(2)  Based upon the last trading price ($3.625) of the Company's Common Stock on
     September 30, 1998, the dollar amounts under these columns are the result
     of calculations at the 5% and 10% rates prescribed by the rules of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission and, therefore, are not intended to
     forecast possible future appreciation, if any, in the price of the Common
     Stock. No gain to the optionee is possible without an increase in the price
     of the Common Stock, which will benefit all shareholders proportionately.

(3)  In order to realize the potential values set forth in the 5% and 10%
     columns of this table, the per share price of the Common Stock would be
     $7.53 and $12.00, or 63% and 159% above the exercise price, respectively.
