NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

       Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per 
share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding including assumed exercise of dilutive 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 May 31, 1998 Compared With Three Months
Ended May 31, 1997

      During the second quarter ended May 31, 1998, net sales increased by
14.0% to $40,846,000 compared to $35,832,000 for the like period in 1997.  
This increase is due primarily to an overall increase in demand from improving
economic conditions and is represented by solid growth across substantially
all product lines and markets.  Sales through Juno's Canadian subsidiary
increased 10.6% to $2,278,000 compared to $2,060,000.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 49.8% for the
quarter, compared to 52.5% for the like period in 1997 due to increased
productivity, stable raw material costs and benefits from the redesign and
retooling of high volume parts.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage
of sales decreased slightly to 26.6% for the second quarter of 1998 compared
with 27.0% for the like period in 1997 due primarily to economies of scale
associated with the sales increase.

      As a result of the above factors, operating income increased to 23.6% of
sales as compared to 20.5% for the like period in 1997.

      In addition, other income increased to $1,141,000 for the quarter
compared to $906,000 for the like period in 1997 due primarily to a $175,000
gain on the sale of a building that previously was the Company's principal
corporate office and assembly facility.


Six Months Ended May 31, 1998 Compared With Six Months
Ended May 31, 1997

      During the six month period ended May 31, 1998, net sales increased
12.9% to $75,232,000 compared to $66,636,000 for the like period in 1997. 
Sales increases were due primarily to increases in demand from improved
economic conditions.

      Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 50.5% compared
to 52.9% for the like period in 1997.  This decrease is due primarily to
increased productivity, stable raw material costs and benefits resulting from
the redesign and retooling of high volume parts.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 28.4% as compared to 28.8% in 1997 due to economies of scale
associated with the increase in sales.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

     During the six month period ended May 31, 1998, the Company generated
positive net cash flow from operating activities of $7,351,000.  This was
comprised principally of net income, depreciation and amortization, a decrease
in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable, (collectively
aggregating $14,611,000), net of increases in accounts receivable of
$4,070,000 and inventory of $3,007,000.  The Company used the net cash
provided from operating activities to finance capital expenditures of
$2,536,000, pay dividends of $3,341,000 and to increase its investment
portfolio by $10,593,000.

     The Company generated additional positive cash flow of $4,601,000 from
the sale of the building that formerly served as the Company's principal
corporate office and assembly facility.  This building was previously
classified in miscellaneous other assets.

      On, June 1, 1998, the Company announced the declaration of a cash
dividend of 9 cents per share payable July 15, 1998, to shareholders of record
June 15, 1998.  The Board of Directors intends to maintain 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 by internally
generated funds.
