FINANCIAL INFORMATION

       The financial information presented in these consolidated
financial statements is unaudited but, in the opinion of management,
reflects all normal adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of
the Company's financial position, results of its operations and cash
flows.  The information in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
November 30, 1996 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated
financial statements.

       The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," in February
1997.  This statement establishes new standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share.  This statement is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997; earlier
adoption is not permitted.  Adoption of this statement will require the
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share.  If the statement
had been adopted, pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share, for the
three months ended August 31, 1997 and for the three months ended August
31, 1996 would have been the same as that presented for the respective
periods.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

       Net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding including
assumed exercise of stock options during the periods.  Such weighted
average number of shares outstanding is as follows:

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

      ===========================================================

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Three Months Ended August 31, 1997 Compared With Three Months
- -------------------------------------------------------------
Ended August 31, 1996
- ---------------------
      During the third quarter ended August 31, 1997, net sales
increased by 6.8% to $37,238,000 compared to $34,869,000 for the
like period in 1996.  This increase is due principally to new
products introduced in 1996 and sales increases through its
wholly owned subsidiary Indy Lighting.  Sales through Juno's
Canadian subsidiary increased 8.4% to $2,374,000 compared to
$2,190,000 for the like period in 1996.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to
49.6% for the quarter, compared to 50.1% for the like period in
1996 due primarily to reductions in raw material costs.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a
percentage of sales increased to 28.3% for the third quarter of
1997 compared with 26.0% for the like period in 1996 due in part
to one-time charges to effect field repairs of a defective
component in certain exit and emergency lighting fixtures sold by
Juno.  The fixtures from this recently introduced product line
required the replacement of an electronic component that was
supplied by a vendor.

      As a result of the above factors, operating income decreased
to 22.1% of sales as compared to 23.9% for the like period in
1996.


Nine Months Ended August 31, 1997 Compared With Nine Months
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Ended August 31, 1996
- ---------------------
      During the nine month period ended August 31, 1997, net
sales increased 5.9% to $103,874,000 compared to $98,099,000 for
the like period in 1996.  Sales increases were due primarily to
favorable comparisons against relatively low sales results in the
first quarter of 1996 and increased demand for new products
introduced in 1996 and were reduced, in part, by sales declines
from Indy Lighting for the first six months of 1997.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to
51.7% for the nine month period compared to 52.6% for the like
period in 1996 due to favorable comparisons versus 1996 and
decreases in raw material costs.

<PAGE 10>
     ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
             OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)
     =========================================================     

     Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of sales increased to 28.6% as compared to 27.9% in 1996 due to
the same factors cited above including charges for field repairs
of a defective component in certain exit and emergency lighting
fixtures aggregating approximately $700,000. 



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
- --------------------------------
     During the nine month period ended August 31, 1997, the
Company generated positive net cash flow from operating
activities of $11,018,000.  This was comprised of net income,
depreciation and amortization, and decreases in inventory and
prepaid expenses (collectively aggregating $18,766,000), net of
increases in accounts receivable of $3,685,000 and accounts
payable of $2,852,000.  The Company used the net cash provided
from operating activities to finance capital expenditures of
$9,876,000, primarily for its new factory and corporate office
facility, and pay dividends of $4,443,000 ($.24 per common
share).

     The Company has finalized the construction phase of its new
factory and corporate office facility in Des Plaines, Illinois. 
It is anticipated that occupancy will be completed by October 15,
1997.  The cost of the project, including furniture and
equipment, totals approximately $22.3 million and has been
financed out of existing corporate funds.

     On September 2, 1997, the Company announced the declaration
of a cash dividend of 8 cents per share payable October 15, 1997,
to shareholders of record September 15, 1997.  The Board of
Directors intends to consider regular quarterly dividends at the
same rate.  Management believes that the existing level of
working capital is adequate for the Company's liquidity needs
currently and in the foreseeable future.  It is currently
anticipated that future working capital requirements and capital
expenditures will be met with internally generated funds.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings - Reference is made to Item 3 of Part I of the
        Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
        November 30, 1996 for a description of an action filed by Juno
        Online Services, L.P.

        Juno Online filed an Amended Complaint in the United States
        District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on February
        25, 1997.  The four-count Amended Complaint seeks a declaration
        of rights (Count I), and relief for trademark misuse (Count II),
        for violations of Sections 43(a) of the Lanham Act (Count III),
        and for unfair competition and deceptive trade practices under
        Illinois state law (Count IV).

        Juno answered the Amended Complaint on March 18, 1997, and filed
        a Counterclaim seeking injunctive and other relief for Juno
        Online's violations of the Lanham Act, for trademark dilution,
        for unfair competition, for violation of Illinois' Uniform
        Deceptive Trade Practices Act, for violation of Illinois'
        Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and for
        violation of Illinois' Anti-Dilution Act.  On that same date,
        Juno filed a Motion to Dismiss Counts II, III and IV of Juno
        Online's Amended Complaint and to strike all of Juno Online's
        claims for monetary relief. On September 30, 1997, the District
        Court granted Juno's Motion to Dismiss Counts II, III and IV,
        entered judgment in Juno's favor on Count II, dismissed Counts
        III and IV, and struck all claims for monetary relief, including
        punitive damages in the Amended Complaint.
