CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30,1996, the consolidated statement of
operations  for the three  month  periods  ended June  30,1996  and 1995 and the
condensed consolidated  statements of cash flow for the three month periods then

management,  all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and changes in financial  position at June 30,1996 and for
all periods presented have been made.

Certain  information and footnotes  disclosures  normally  included in financial

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

Operating cash  requirements  for the first three months of fiscal 1997 were met
from cash flow from operations and $330,000 of short term borrowing.

In July the Company entered into a new debt agreement.  This agreement  requires
full payment by October 31,1996.

It is suggested  that the Company's  annual report to  shareholders  be read for
more detail as to the Company's overall financial position.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS  -  THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,1996   COMPARED  WITH
CORRESPONDING PERIOD OF PRIOR YEAR.

SALES

Sales for the three months ended June 30,1996 of  $2,580,515  compare with sales
of $3,043,656  for the  corresponding  period of the prior year, a 15% decrease.
Approximately half of the decrease results from decreased  Department of Defense
contract  production with the balance of the decrease  resulting from a decrease
in non contract revenue. The Company anticipates  increased sales levels for the
balance of the current year.

COSTS OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES SOLD

Cost of  products  and  services  sold for the nine  months  ended  June 30 1996
equaled  95%  of  sales  as  compared  to a cost  of  sales  rate  of 87% in the
corresponding  period of the prior year.  These unusually high rates reflect the
significant decline in sales in both years with only minimal reductions in fixed
production costs.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  for the first  three  months of
fiscal 1997 totaled $518,229,  a decrease of $126,730 over the prior years first
quarter.  Decreased  salary and  related  expenses  account  for most all of the
decrease.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest  expense  for the three  months  ended June  30,1996  totaled  $114,622
compared  with  expense of $110,640 in the prior  years  first  quarter,  a 3.5%
increase resulting from increased rates on variable rate debt.

INCOME TAX CREDIT

The 20% income tax credit for the first three months of fiscal 1997 reflects the
availability of alternative  minimum tax loss carrybacks.  The tax provision for
the first quarter of the prior year reflected the availability of operating loss
carrybacks.
