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

Results of Operations:

         Six months ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994

Net sales for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1995  increased  less than 1% to
$5,951,044  from  $5,935,687  in the first six months of 1994.  The  increase in
sales resulted  primarily from the increase in domestic  equipment  sales due to
new product introductions more than offsetting a decrease in tank testing sales.
Tank testing sales decreased primarily as a result of the reorganization in 1994
to redirect the sales focus from the Eastern U.S. back to the Western U.S..

Historically,  due to the  relatively  short  time  period  between  receipt  of
customer  equipment  orders and shipments,  the Company's  backlog for equipment
orders has been quite low.  However,  backlog for Horizon tank testing  services
was  $596,000 at the end of the second  quarter of 1995  compared to $705,000 at
the end of the  second  quarter  of  1994.  The  decrease  in  backlog  resulted
primarily from the decrease in tank testing sales in the Eastern U.S..

Cost of goods sold was 45% of net sales in the first six months of 1995 compared
to 46% for the same period in 1994. Gross margin increased primarily from higher
utilization of the tank testing field  technicians.  Lower tank testing sales in
the first six  months of 1995 has been  accomplished  with  significantly  fewer
technicians and much higher  productivity  than in the same period in 1994. Cost
of goods sold is  anticipated  to  decrease  in the second  half of 1995 as tank
testing sales and utilization increase further.

Overall,  total expenses in the first six months of 1995 decreased $240,571,  or
7%, from the same period in 1994.  This was primarily the result of the $402,387
decrease in marketing  and general and  administrative  expenses  related to the
1994  restructuring  being partially offset by the $170,569 increase in research
and development expenses.

Marketing  expenses  decreased  16%, or $271,209 in the first six months of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994. Marketing expenses decreased primarily as a
result of the decrease in tank  testing  sales  personnel in the Eastern  United
States which the Company anticipates will be permanent.

General and administrative expenses decreased $131,178, or 11%, in the first six
months of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  General and  administrative
expenses  decreased  primarily  from  decreased   administrative  personnel  and
expenses in the tank testing operations.

Research and development  expenses increased $170,569 or 138%, for the first six
months of 1995 compared to the same period of 1994. The increase in research and
development  expenses was primarily the result of capitalizing  some final stage
development  costs for the new ENCOMPASS  product in 1994. There were no similar
final stage development costs capitalized in 1995.

Other  expenses  decreased  $5,503 or 3%,  in the  first  six  months of 1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.  The decrease was  primarily  the result of
higher interest expense on increased borrowing on the bank lines of credit being
offset by gains on the sale of demonstration  moisture  analyzer  products being
phased out.


         Three months ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1994

Net sales for the three  months  ended June 30, 1995  decreased  less than 1% to
$3,123,952  from $3,136,701 for the three months ended June 30, 1994. The slight
decrease in sales  resulted  primarily  from the increase in domestic  equipment
sales more than offsetting a decrease in tank testing sales.

Cost of goods sold was 43% of net sales in the second  quarter of 1995  compared
to 47% for the same period in 1994. Gross margin increased primarily from higher
utilization of the tank testing field  technicians.  Lower tank testing sales in
the  second  quarter  of 1995 has been  accomplished  with  significantly  fewer
technicians and much higher productivity than in the same period in 1994.

Overall,  total expenses in the second quarter of 1995  decreased  $195,683,  or
11%, from the same period in 1994. This was primarily the result of the $242,998
decrease in marketing  and general and  administrative  expenses  related to the
1994  restructuring  being partially  offset by the $58,407 increase in research
and development expenses.

Marketing  expenses  decreased  22%, or  $198,472 in the second  quarter of 1995
compared to the same period in 1994. Marketing expenses decreased primarily as a
result of the decrease in tank  testing  sales  personnel in the Eastern  United
States which the Company anticipates will be permanent.

General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  $44,526,  or 7%, in the second
quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in 1994.  General and administrative
expenses  decreased  primarily  from  decreased   administrative  personnel  and
expenses in the tank testing operations.

Research  and  development  expenses  increased  $58,407,  or 70%, in the second
quarter of 1995  compared to the same period of 1994.  The  increase in research
and  development  expenses was primarily the result of  capitalizing  some final
stage  development  costs for the new ENCOMPASS  product in 1994.  There were no
similar final stage development costs capitalized in 1995.

Other expenses decreased $6,793 or 8%, in the second quarter of 1995 as compared
to the same period in 1994.  The  decrease  was  primarily  the result of higher
interest  expense on increased  borrowing on the bank lines of credit  offset by
gains on the sale of demonstration moisture analyzer products being phased out.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Net working  capital  increased 6% to $1,806,996 in the first six months of 1995
from  $1,702,312 at December 31, 1994.  The current ratio  increased from 1.3 to
1.4. The increases in working  capital and the current ratio were  primarily due
to  increased  cash  flow  from  operations,  reducing  inventory  and  reducing
borrowing under the bank lines of credit.

The  Company  currently  has two lines of credit  available,  collateralized  by
accounts receivable,  inventory, and property, plant and equipment which provide
for an  aggregate  maximum  commitment  of  $2,750,000  through  March 15, 1996.
Advances can be made against the lines based on qualified  levels of receivables
and inventory.  At July 21, 1995 an aggregate of $2,435,139 was available  under
the lines of credit of which  $900,000 had been drawn  leaving  $1,535,139.  The
Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants at June 30, 1995.

On July 6, 1989,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with Bridge  Capital
Investors II ("Bridge"). Pursuant to the Note Agreement as amended through March
30, 1995,  Bridge holds 12% convertible  subordinated  notes (the "Note") in the
principal  amount of  $1,778,750  with a maturity  date of June 30,  1996.  As a
result of common stock issued in conjunction  with the acquisition of Horizon on
September 30, 1992 and related financing and other transactions, the Note is now
convertible  into 643,495 shares of common stock at $2.76 per share. The Company
is required to pay  principal of $616,667 on June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995
and a final  payment of $545,416 on June 30, 1996.  The Company has a four-month
extension on the June 30, 1995 principal  payment.  For the payment due June 30,
1995 the Company is taking  advantage of the  extension  until October 30, 1995.
Interest  on the unpaid  principal  amount of the Note is due and payable on the
last day of each calendar quarter.

The Note Agreement  requires that the Company  maintain net worth after December
31, 1994 of $5,500,000. The Company was in compliance with this covenant at June
30, 1995.  The Note Agreement  further  provides that the Company shall have the
right to  prepay  the  notes at any time if  prepayment  is  accompanied  by the
issuance of warrants to purchase  common  stock at the rate of 200,000  warrants
for each $1,000,000 of principal which is prepaid. If issued, the exercise price
of such warrants would equal the lower of the  conversion  price of the notes or
the  average  market  price of the  common  stock for the  thirty  days prior to
prepayment. The Note Agreement also provides that the interest rate on the notes
shall  increase to 16% upon  future  defaults,  if any.  Bridge has the right to
accelerate  payment  of the  entire  indebtedness  upon a default  in  principal
payments.  As long as $300,000 of principal under the Note remains  outstanding,
the Company may not declare or pay cash  dividends on its common  stock  unless,
after giving effect to any such action,  the amount expended by the Company will
not exceed 50% of the cumulative  consolidated net income of the Company accrued
from the date of the Agreement.

The  remaining  scheduled  principal  payments  on the Bridge Note in 1995 total
$1,233,334.  The Company is seeking to  refinance  the Bridge Note during  1995,
although  there can be no assurances of such. The Company has prepared cash flow
projections  that are based on budgeted  sales and  expenses,  which  management
believes are  reasonable  based on  historical  trends.  These  projections  are
susceptible to variances in customer order rates, accounts receivable collection
days and inventory turns. The cash flow forecasts indicate that the Company will
be able to meet its  obligations  even if the  refinancing  does not occur.  The
Company believes that it will be able to compensate for any  unanticipated  cash
flow  deficiencies  through  advances  on the bank lines of credit  and  reduced
discretionary expenses.

On April 14, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Classic Syndicate,
Inc. ("Classic").  Pursuant to the Subordinated Loan Agreement,  Classic holds a
10% Note in the  principal  amount of $375,000 with a maturity date of April 30,
1997.  The funds were to be used  exclusively  for the April 30, 1995  principal
payment to Bridge.  Semiannual  interest  payments are to be made on October 30,
1995, April 30, 1996 and October 30, 1996.
