discussed in more detail elsewhere herein and in the Company's Annual
Report on form 10-KSB, including, without limitation, the sections:
"Description of Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."  Given these

Results of Operations

Net sales for the quarter ended October 31, 1999 were $6,250,113, an
increase of 11% over the same quarter of the previous year.  Gross
profit for the current quarter was $2,660,980, an increase of 11% over
the first quarter last year. Cost of sales as a percentage of net
sales was 57.43%, approximately the same as the first quarter of last year.

Research and development, marketing, administrative and general
expenses were $1,925,146 compared with $1,928,098 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1999. Operating profit was $735,834 compared to
$461,290 for the same period in fiscal year 1999.  The 60% increase in
operating profit was a result of higher sales and lower marketing expenses.

Interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 was
$190,103, an increase of approximately $133,000 from last year.  This
higher level is due to interest on 12% subordinated debentures that
were exchanged for stock in April, 1999. The subordinated debentures
were discounted to yeild an effective interest rate of 22%.  Earnings
before income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2000 were
$528,901 compared to $410,721 in the first quarter of fiscal year
1999, or an increase of approximately 29%.  Federal income taxes were
accrued in the amount of $210,000, lowering earnings to a net of
$318,901 compared to $218,695 in the first quarter of fiscal 1999.
Income was further reduced by an extraordinary loss of $30,728, net of
taxes.  This was due to the repurchase of debentures with a face value
of $165,000 at a cost of $118,800.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At October 31, 1999 the Company's working capital was $3,352,342
compared to $3,061,769 at July 31, 1999.  This increase was due to
cash generated from operations in excess of payments on notes payable
of $500,000.  Current backlog is approximately $3,192,000 compared
with $5,059,000 backlog at July 31, 1999.  The decrease is due to a
slowing of orders in the first quarter and shipment of much of the
backlog which existed at July 31, 1999.

Shareholders' equity increased from $3,796,454 at July 31, 1999 to
$4,084,627 in the three-month period ended October 31, 1999 due
entirely to net earnings.

Year 2000 Issues

Our  failure  to adequately prepare our computers and software  to  be
year  2000  compliant could disrupt our business  and  materially  and
adversely  affect  our operations.  Many currently installed  computer
systems  and  software products use two digits  rather  than  four  to
define  the applicable year.  In other words, date-sensitive  software
may  recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000.  This could result in system failures or miscalculations causing
disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a  temporary
inability  to track inventory, issue purchase orders, write checks  or
engage in similar normal business activities.

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998, we began a risk evaluation
of  potential Year 2000 issues and formed a Year 2000 Committee  which
consists   of   the   Chief  Executive  Officer,   Vice-President   of
Engineering, Information Systems Manager and two other employees.  The
Committee's  purpose is to assess all risks, analyze current  systems,
including  all  information technology and non-information  technology
systems,  coordinate upgrades and replacements and report the  current
and projected status of all known Year 2000 compliance issues.

During  the  assessment phase, we identified computer-related  systems
and  software with potential Year 2000 problems.  In the first quarter
of  fiscal 1999, we began corresponding with the vendors that had  not
supplied  Year  2000 statements, requesting the Year  2000  compliance
status  of  their products.   Responses received to date from  vendors
have  not  indicated  any  Year  2000 problems.   We  have  identified
alternative vendors should our current vendors fail to perform due  to
Year  2000  problems; however, use of some of these vendors  would  be
inconvenient  and could be costly.   Moreover, we have  not  contacted
these  alternate  vendors  to determine whether  they  are  Year  2000
compliant.

As  a  precaution, we plan to stock additional inventory from our non-
U.S. vendors prior to the beginning of the year 2000.

One   mission-critical  system,  the  inventory  shop  floor   control
software, was not Year 2000 compliant.  This software tracked incoming
orders,  inventory levels, material requirements planning, shop  floor
control,  labor  tracking, shipping and administrative  and  financial
tracking functions.  We have  purchased a new system that is Year 2000
compliant and, in our judgment, superior to the  system we were using.
The  new system was installed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
1999.   Upgrades to all of the non-mission critical systems have  been
completed as of July 31, 1999.

We  estimate that the replacement or remedial costs for our Year  2000
compliance  issues  have  been  less than  $150,000  and   consist  of
software  and  hardware upgrades that include new features  which  are
combined with Year 2000 corrections.  The majority of these costs have
been   expensed  as  incurred  or  capitalized  and  depreciated,   as
appropriate, during fiscal year 1999.

We  have  tested  the  machine control systems  and  related  computer
software which we sell and we believe that such equipment is Year 2000
compliant.

We  estimate that the worst case Year 2000 issue scenario would  occur
if  the  new  inventory shop floor control software is not  Year  2000
compliant.   At  that point, we would look to alternate  vendors.   We
believe  that  there are a number of alternate vendors that  claim  to
have Year 2000 compliant software.  In the event that we are unable to
integrate  Year 2000 compliant software from any of these vendors,  we
would  be forced to hire additional staff and return to manual methods
of  tracking inventory and purchasing raw materials.  We believe  that
we  could  implement this contingency plan within a  short  period  of
time.   However, until such time as this contingency plan took effect,
our  ability  to  manufacture  could  be  materially  disrupted.    In
addition, during the time that we were required to operate under  this
plan,  our results of operations would be adversely affected primarily
due  to the resulting increased administrative expense, and higher raw
materials  inventory levels that would be needed  to  assure  that  we
would have sufficient raw materials to avoid disruption of production.
