                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1          SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS

A)   Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.

Operating results for the periods ended November 23, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28,
1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended February 29, 1996 in the
Company's 1996 Annual Report.



B)   Net Income per Share

Net income per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents comprised
of incentive stock options granted under the Company's qualified stock option
plan and non-qualified stock options.  



C)   Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes, on domestic operations,  for periods ended
November 23, 1996 and November 25, 1995 were calculated at an effective annual
tax rate of 9% and 8%, respectively, reflecting the utilization of available net
operating loss carryforwards and also taking into account the "Alternative
Minimum Tax". Provision for income taxes on foreign operations were estimated at
25% and 20%, respectively.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

                                                           --------

Non-Current Deferred Tax Asset, Net                      1,139,043

Valuation Allowance                                     (1,549,123)
                                                         ---------  
Net                                                      $      -- 
                                                         ---------




A valuation allowance of $1,549,123 reduces the deferred tax assets to an amount
that represents management's best estimate of the amount of such deferred tax
assets which more likely than not will be realized.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                               OPERATIONS

Nine months ended November 23, 1996 as compared with nine months ended November
25, 1995.

REVENUES

Sales of $2,835,890 for the third quarter ended November 23, 1996 were 5.9%
higher than the sales of $2,676,752 in the comparable prior-year quarter. Net
sales of $8,062,726 for the nine months ended November 23, 1996 were 4.4% higher
than prior-period's sales of $7,725,603.  Increased revenues resulted from
increased volume and an approximately a 4% sales price increase for goods and
services effective at various times in October and November of 1996. 

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit for the current-year's third quarter was $1,221,431 (43.1% of
sales) which represents a 5.7% increase from the comparable prior-year quarter's
gross profit of $1,155,845 (43.2% of sales). Gross profit for the recently
concluded nine-month period of $3,420,599 (42.4% of sales) was 5.6% higher than
the comparable prior nine-month period's gross profit of $3,238,750 (41.9% of
sales).  The year-to-date increase was mostly due to increased unit volume. 

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the recently ended quarter were
$1,097,085 compared to $962,260 in the comparable prior-year period,  a 14.0%
increase. Expenses for the nine months ended November 23, 1996, were $3,149,016
compared with $2,908,350 in the prior comparable period, accounting for an 8.3%
increase.  Increased expenses were due to increased selling expense associated
with new product launches and higher unit sales in 1996.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSE

The Company incurred no research and development costs for the three and nine
months ended November 23, 1996.  Expense in prior periods was incurred as a
result of an in-house CAD-CAM project which was discontinued, as the project was
not able to produce a satisfactory and economically feasible product.  As such,
all related costs associated with the project were written off during fiscal
1996.  

OTHER INCOME

Other income consists primarily of income generated from investments and service
income generated from the Company's accounts receivable.  Other income of $6,300
for the recently-concluded quarter was 9.3% more than the comparable prior-year
quarter's other income of $5,764.

Other income of $41,059 for the nine-month period was 14.0% more than the
$36,009 achieved for the comparable prior nine-month period.

                                       9

<PAGE>

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company has provided an effective tax rate of 9% (US operations) of pre-tax
profits after utilizing available net operating loss carryforwards and taking
into account the "Alternative Minimum Tax". Taxes for the UK operations were
estimated at 25% of pre-tax profit.

NET INCOME

The Company earned $110,436 or $0.04 per share for the recently concluded
quarter as compared to $158,256 or $0.06 per share generated in the prior-year's
quarter. Nine month's net profit of $261,718 or $0.10 per share compares with
$232,136 or $0.09 per share in the prior-year's comparable period. Tighter
control of manufacturing costs, the sales price increase, plus increased unit
volume contributed to improved profits for the nine month period ended November
23, 1996, versus prior-year's comparable period.  Profits for the three month
period ended November 23, 1996, were reduced versus prior-year's comparable
period due to increased marketing and promotion costs associated with new
product introductions.

LIQUIDITY

Working capital, as of November 23, 1996, was $1,971,126 versus $1,576,117 at
February 29, 1996, an increase of $395,011.  While increases in cash and
accounts receivable, and a decrease in accrued payroll and related payroll
taxes, increased working capital, increases primarily in accounts payable and
other current liabilities decreased working capital.

The Company believes its capital position is adequate to meet anticipated cash
needs for the next twelve months and beyond.

As of July 19, 1996, the Company has renewed a revolving credit of $750,000, for
an additional year (August 1, 1996 - July 31, 1997) at an interest rate of prime
plus 2%,  from NBD Bank.  The Company has not drawn against the credit line
during the nine month period ended November 23, 1996.

The Company plans to upgrade its enterprise software and hardware over the next
three to nine months.  The Company has sufficient internal and/or external
resources to finance this upgrade.  Final plans and amount are incomplete at
this time.
