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 April 30, 1999 compared to quarters ended January
31, 1999 and April 30, 1998

Sales

     Net sales for the quarter ended April 30, 1999 were
$5,282,925, a decrease of approximately $819,000 compared to
third quarter net sales in fiscal 1998 and an increase of
approximately $245,000, or approximately 5% from the second
quarter of fiscal year 1999.  The decrease for the quarter was
due primarily to decreased orders and shipments of product during
the early part of the fiscal year.  The increase over the second
quarter occurred because of orders and backlog increasing after
the end of the second fiscal quarter.  Gross profit for the
quarter ended April 30, 1999 was $1,960,964, a decrease of 24%
from the quarter ended April 30, 1998 and an increase of
approximately 2% over the second quarter of fiscal year, 1999.
During the quarter ended April 30, 1999, cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales was 62.9%, compared to 57.7% at the
quarter ended April 30, 1998 and 61.8% for the quarter ended
January 31, 1999.  The lower cost of sales percentage in the
second quarter and the third 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 $1,671,070 during the quarter ended April
30, 1999 compared with $1,682,931 for the quarter ended April 30,
1998 and $1,716,108 during the second quarter of the current
fiscal year.  These expenses along with lower sales were the
primary reason for the reduced operating profit of $289,894
compared to $896,850 for the same period in fiscal year 1998 and
the slight increase over $210,483 in the second quarter of fiscal
1999.  Research and development, marketing, general and
administrative expenses were 32% of net sales for the quarter
ended April 30, 1999 compared to 28% for the quarter ended April
30, 1998 and 34% for the quarter ended January 31, 1999.  The
primary reason for the increase in expenses as a percentage of
net sales was a decrease in sales along with an increased
spending level in marketing and R & D in an effort to increase
sales and orders.  Non-recurring expenses related to the attempt
to repurchase the stock of the Company also contributed to the
increase in expenses, but not as much as in the second quarter of
fiscal 1999.

Nine months ended April 30, 1999 compared to nine months ended
April 30, 1998

Sales

     Net sales for the first nine months of the current fiscal
year were $15,945,776, a slight decrease of approximately $14,000
from the same period last year.  Backlog increased from
approximately $1,910,000 at January 31, 1999 to $2,551,000 at
April 30, 1999 but decreased from $3,029,000 at July 31, 1998.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the nine months
ended April 30, 1999 was approximately 60.6% compared to 59.4%
for the nine months ended April 30, 1998.

Research and Development, Marketing, Administrative and General
Expenses

     Research and development, marketing, administrative and
general expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 1999
increased approximately $769,000, or approximately 17% from the
nine months ended April 30, 1998.  This reduced operating profit
for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 to $961,666 compared to
$1,926,166 for the nine months ended April 30, 1998.  Lower sales
coupled with the increase in research and development, marketing,
administrative and general expenses resulted in a 54% decrease in
operating profit for the comparative nine months periods.
Research and development, marketing, general and administrative
expenses were 33% of net sales for the nine months ended April
30, 1999 compared to 28% for the nine-month period ended April
30, 1998.

     For the nine months ended April 30, 1999, these expenses
increased as a result of the following:

                                   Percentage
                                   of Increase

     European Operations                     3%
     Research and Development               30%
     Marketing                              43%
     General and Administrative             24%

European Operations.   Expenses related to European operations
were $668,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 1999 compared to
$646,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1998. This $22,000
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 $222,000 from the first quarter because of a cost-
cutting program for the European operations implemented during
that time.

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development
expenses were $447,000 for the nine months ended April 30, 1999
compared to $197,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 1998.
This $250,000 increase was due primarily to increased salaries
and benefits and the purchase of experimental parts and supplies.

Marketing Expenses.  Marketing expenses were $2,678,000 for the
nine months ended April 30, 1999 compared to $2,317,000 for the
nine months ended April 30, 1998. This $361,000 increase was due
primarily to trade show expenses and advertising costs.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and Administrative
expenses were $1,522,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 1999
compared to $1,387,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 1998.
This $135,000 increase was due primarily to increased legal and
professional fees related to the stock repurchase.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense in the quarter ended April 30, 1999 was
$76,600, an increase of approximately $3,800 from the quarter
ended April 30, 1998.  Interest expense for the nine months ended
April 30, 1999 was $205,102 compared with $160,069 for the nine
months ended April 30, 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.  Another
smaller portion of the increase is due to interest accruing on
12% debentures due in April 2014 for which interest will be paid
quarterly.  See also "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Operating Income

     Earnings from operations before income taxes in the quarter
ended April 30, 1999 were $237,211 compared to $836,283 in the
quarter ended April 30, 1998, a decrease of approximately 81%.
Earnings from operations were $799,333 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1999 compared to $1,779,578 for the nine months ended
April 30, 1998, a decrease of approximately 59%.  Federal income
taxes were accrued in the amount of $72,943 and $381,389 for the
quarter ended and the nine months ended, respectively, April 30,
1999.  Accrued taxes lowered earnings to a net of $164,268 and
$491,954 for the quarters ended April 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively and $417,944 compared to $1,060,882 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At April 30, 1999, our working capital was $5,895,157 as
compared to $5,591,443 at January 31, 1999 and $5,324,458 at July
31, 1998.   The increase in working capital from July 31, 1998
and January 31, 1999 was due to cash generated from operations.

     At April 30, 1999, inventories increased approximately
$181,000 as compared to July 31, 1998.  No increased in-house
processing of components was planned during the first six months
of this period because of the slowdown of orders.  However,
during the last quarter, inventories increased approximately
$150,000 because of an increase in backlog and orders.  Accounts
receivable decreased approximately $147,000 from July 31, 1998
primarily because of lower sales in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999.

     During the first nine months of 1999, the Company had a
positive cash flow from operations of $282,037.  Net earnings of
$342,944 plus depreciation and amortization of $299,627
contributed to the positive cash flow for the nine months.  Cash
used by operating activities during this nine months was
approximately $181,000 for increased inventories.  A decrease in
customer deposits of approximately $163,000 also occurred because
of the slowdown in orders from July 31, 1998.

     Expenditures for fixed assets during the third 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 nine months of
fiscal 1999.

     Shareholders' equity decreased from $5,948,100 at July 31,
1998 to $3,576,485 at April 30, 1999.  The primary reason for
this decrease was the Company's acquisition in April 1999 of an
aggregate of 460,262 shares of its common stock from Company
shareholders in exchange for 12% subordinated debentures payable
in 2014 in the aggregate principal amount of $5,062,882.  The
debentures were discounted using an effective interest rate of
22% resulting in a net increase in bonds payable and a decrease
in common stock of $2,855,334.

  In addition, a total of 14,200 shares of common stock at a
price of $5.00 per share were issued upon the conversion of the
12% convertible debentures during the three months ended April
30, 1999 for an increase to shareholders' equity in the amount of
$65,417, net of discount and issuance costs.  During the first
nine months of fiscal 1998, a total of 24,000 shares of common
stock were issued upon conversion of the 12% convertible
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 a director.  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
April 30, 1999, our outstanding principal balance under the
credit line was $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 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.

     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 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.

    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 sought
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 was consummated,
to recover compensatory damages.  The complaint alleged that the
Exchange Offer and the Corporations plan to delist (which
delisting plan has since been abandoned) was unfair to the
shareholders and that the directors of the Company have violated
their fiduciary duty in the course of pursuing those
transactions.  On May 24, 1999, this lawsuit was dismissed with
prejudice.
