Results of Operations
- ---------------------
     In this section, we discuss our earnings for the periods
indicated and the factors affecting them that resulted in changes
from one period to the other.

Quarter ended January 31, 1999 compared to Quarter ended January 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales
- -----
     Net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1999 were
$5,037,630, a decrease of approximately $16,000 compared to second
quarter net sales in fiscal 1998 and a decrease of approximately
$590,000, or approximately 10% from the first quarter of fiscal
year 1999.  The decrease for the quarter was due primarily to
decreased orders and shipments of product.  Gross profit for the
quarter ended January 31, 1999 was $1,926,591, an increase of 4%
over the quarter ended January 31, 1998 and a decrease of 19% from
the quarter ended October 31, 1998. During the quarter ended
January 31, 1999, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was
61.8%, compared to 63.4% at the quarter ended January 31, 1998 and
57.5% for the quarter ended October 31, 1998.  The lower cost of
sales percentage in the first quarter compared to the second
quarter and the second quarter of fiscal 1998 was due to the sale
during those prior quarters of a larger percentage of machines that
have individual higher margins.

Research and Development, Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Research and development, marketing, administrative and
general expenses were $1,716,108 during the quarter ended January
31, 1999 compared with $1,395,246 for the quarter ended January 31,
1998 and $1,928,098 during the first quarter of the current fiscal
year.  These expenses were the primary reason for the reduced
operating profit of $210,483 compared to $454,838 for the same
period in fiscal year 1998 and $461,290 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1999.  Part of the $211,000 decrease in operating expenses
from the first quarter of fiscal 1999 was a decrease of
approximately $132,000 in European expenses.  The Vienna office was
closed and no longer had expenses during the second quarter of
fiscal 1999, along with a general cut in expenses which will be
accelerated during the remaining six months of fiscal 1999.
Research and development, marketing, general and administrative
expenses were 34% of net sales for the quarter ended January 31,
1999 compared to 28% for the quarter ended January 31, 1998.

Six months ended January 31, 1999 compared to Six months ended January 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sales
- -----
     Net sales for the first six months of the current fiscal year
were $10,662,852, an increase of approximately $805,000, or 8%,
from the same period last year.  Backlog decreased from
approximately $2,521,000 at October 31, 1998 and $3,029,000 at July
31, 1998 to $1,910,000 at January 31, 1999.  Cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales for the six months ended January 31, 1999
was approximately 59.5% compared to 60.5% for the six months ended
January 31, 1998.

Research and Development, Marketing, Administrative and General Expenses
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Research and development, marketing, administrative and
general expenses in the six months ended January 31, 1999 increased
approximately $780,000, or approximately 27% from the six months
ended January 31, 1998.  This resulted in operating profit for the
six months ended January 31, 1999 lowering to $671,773 compared to
$1,029,316 for the six months ended January 31, 1998.  The increase
in research and development, marketing, administrative and general
expenses resulted in a 35% decrease in operating profit for the
comparative six months periods. Research and development,
marketing, general and administrative expenses were 34% of net
sales for the six months ended January 31, 1999 compared to 29% for
the six-month period ended January 31, 1998.

     For the six months these expenses increased as a result of the
following:
<TABLE>
                                        Percentage
                                        of Increase
                                        -----------

     European Operations                      17%

     General and Administrative               15%
</TABLE>
European Operations.   Expenses related to European operations were
$549,000 in the six months ended January 31, 1999 compared to
$420,000 the six months ended January 31, 1998. This $129,000
increase was due primarily to increased marketing efforts and the
hiring of additional personnel.  However, European expenses began a
decline in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and decreased
approximately $132,000 from the first quarter.

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development
expenses were $298,000 for the six months ended January 31, 1999
compared to $141,000 in the six months ended January 31, 1998. This
$157,000 increase was due primarily to increased salaries and
benefits and the purchase of experimental parts and supplies.

Marketing Expenses.  Marketing expenses were $1,502,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 1999 compared to $1,130,000 for the six
months ended January 31, 1998. This $372,000 increase was due
primarily to trade show expenses and advertising costs.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and Administrative
expenses were $1,289,000 in the six months ended January 31, 1999
compared to $1,172,000 in the six months ended January 31, 1998.
This $117,000 increase was due primarily to increased legal and
professional fees.
     

Interest Expense
- ----------------     
     Interest expense in the quarter ended January 31, 1999 was
$71,581, an increase of approximately $10,000 from the quarter
ended January 31, 1998. Interest expense for the six months ended
January 31, 1999 was $128,502 compared with $87,259 for the six
months ended January 31, 1998.  This increase was due to interest
on approximately $2,200,000 of a $3,500,000 line of credit which
began late in the first quarter of fiscal year 1998.  See also
"Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Operating Income
- ----------------
     Earnings from operations before income taxes in the quarter
ended January 31, 1999 were $151,401 compared to $385,631 in the
quarter ended January 31, 1998, a decrease of approximately 61%.
Earnings from operations were $562,122 for the six months ended
January 31, 1999 compared to $943,295 for the six months ended
January 31, 1998, a decrease of approximately 40%.  Federal income
taxes were accrued in the amount of $116,420 and $308,446 for the
quarter ended and the six months ended, respectively, January 31,
1999.  Accrued taxes lowered earnings to a net of $34,981 and
$213,889 for the quarters ended January 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively and $253,676 compared to $568,928 for the six months
ended January 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
     At January 31, 1999, our working capital was $5,591,443 as
compared to $5,567,615 at October 31, 1998 and $5,324,458 at July
31, 1998.   The increase in working capital from July 31, 1998 and
October 31, 1998 was due to cash generated from operations.
     
     At January 31, 1999, inventories increased approximately
$35,000 as compared to July 31, 1998.  No increased in-house
processing of components was planned during this period because of
the slowdown of orders.  Accounts receivable also decreased
slightly from July 31, 1998 primarily due to lower sales in the
second quarter compared to October 31, 1998.  Cash increased
approximately $76,000, primarily from collections on accounts
receivable.

     During the second six months of 1999, the company had a
positive cash flow from operations of $266,969.  Net earnings of
$253,676 plus depreciation and amortization of $199,065 contributed
to the positive cash flow for the six months.  Cash used by
operating activities during this six months was approximately
$35,000 for increased inventories.  A decrease in customer deposits
of approximately $304,000 also occurred because of the slowdown in
orders from July 31, 1998.

     Expenditures for fixed assets during the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 consisted of normal replacements and purchases of labor
saving equipment for production.  We anticipate that expenditures
for the remainder of the 1999 fiscal year will be consistent with
expenditures during the first half of fiscal 1999.

     Shareholders' equity increased from $5,948,100 at July 31,
1998 to $6,265,887 at January 31, 1999.  A total of 13,600 shares
of common stock at a price of $5.00 per share were converted from
the outstanding convertible debentures during the six months ended
January 31, 1999 for an increase to shareholders' equity in the
amount of $63,947, net of discount and issuance costs.  During the
first six months of fiscal 1998, a total of 24,000 shares of common
stock were issued upon conversion of the 12% debentures for an
increase to shareholders' equity in the amount of $106,926 net of
discount and issuance costs.

     We have a $3,500,000 revolving secured line of credit with
DuBois County Bank that expires on January 1, 2000.  We entered
into this line of credit in October 1997 and used proceeds from
this line to redeem our preferred stock from Edgar Mulzer.  The
outstanding balance on this credit line bears interest at a
variable rate equal to the money market prime index.  Interest is
payable monthly.  Principal and all unpaid and accrued interest is
due and payable on January 1, 2000.  We anticipate, but cannot
assure, that, at the end of the term, we will enter into a new
credit line with the bank and transfer any outstanding loan balance
to the new credit line.  The credit line is secured by our assets.
In the event of a default, as defined in the credit line, the bank
has the right to accelerate payments under the credit line and take
possession and sell the collateral.
     
     As of January 31, 1999, our outstanding principal balance
under the credit line was approximately $2,196,320.

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 vendors 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
know of 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 up additional inventory from
our non-U.S. vendors prior to the beginning of the year 2000.
     
     We know of one mission-critical system, the inventory shop
floor control software, that is not Year 2000 compliant.  This
software tracks incoming orders, inventory levels, material
requirements planning, shop floor control, labor tracking, shipping
and administrative and financial tracking functions.  Although,
this system has a Year 2000 certified replacement product,
implementation of this replacement product would require us to re-
input all current data.  As a result, we have decided to purchase a
different system that is Year 2000 compliant and, in our judgment,
superior to the current system we are using.  We anticipate that
the new system will be installed during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1999, at which time we will begin to input current data.  We
are currently installing upgrades to the non-mission critical
systems and should complete the upgrades by the beginning of July
1999.
     
     We estimate that the replacement or remedial costs for our
Year 2000 compliance issues will be less than $150,000 and will
consist of software and hardware upgrades that include new features
which are combined with Year 2000 corrections.  These costs will be
expensed as incurred or capitalized and depreciated, as
appropriate.
     
     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 alternative
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 might
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 have sufficient raw materials to avoid disruption of
          production.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION;

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:

     On January 21, 1999, one of the Company's shareholders filed a
class action lawsuit against the Company and its directors in the
Circuit Court for Spencer County, Indiana.  The suit seeks to
enjoin the consummation of an exchange offer of subordinated
debentures made by the Company to certain of its shareholders for
their shares of common stock (the "Exchange Offer") or,
alternatively, in the event the Exchange Offer is consummated, to
recover compensatory damages.  The complaint alleges that the
Exchange Offer and the Corporations plan to delist (which delisting
plan has since been abandoned) are unfair to the shareholders and
that the directors of the Company have violated their fiduciary
duty in the course of pursuing those transactions.  The Company
plans to vigorously defend the action and to proceed with the
Exchange Offer.  However, if the Company determines that the
proceeding might materially impair the ability of the Company to
proceed with the Exchange Offer or materially impair the
contemplated benefits of the Exchange Offer to the Company, then
the Company may terminate the Exchange Offer.  It is impossible at
this time for the Company to predict the outcome of this pending
litigation or its impact on the Company's operational or financial
condition.
