NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions for
Securities and Exchange Commission's Form 10-Q and do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for audited financial statements. The unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. All material intercompany items and transactions have
been eliminated in the consolidation. In the preparation of the
unaudited amounts, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) have been made which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the
year. It is suggested that the unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements contained herein be read in conjunction with the
consolidated statements and notes included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 1999.
Risks and Uncertainties:
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities.
This statement must be adopted no later than May 31, 2002, although
earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact of adopting SFAS No. 133.

NOTE 3. DEBT
Revolving Line of Credit:
At November 30, 1999 the Company had a revolving credit agreement
with a bank under which it could borrow up to $5,500,000. Borrowings are
limited to a borrowing base formula (calculated based on certain
percentages of eligible trade receivables and inventories) and bear
interest at the Lender's Corporate Base Rate minus 0.25% (8.25% at
November 30, 1999). The revolving loan facility expires in July 2000.
Outstanding borrowings under the facility as of November 30, 1999 were
$904,000.
Long-Term Debt:
At November 30, 1999 the Company had $5,999,000 of term loan
facilities with a bank. The term loans mature in July 2004. The notes
are due in monthly payments of $43,536 plus interest at 8.85%. The
Company has the right to prepay the term loan facilities at any time
from operating cash flow.
For additional information concerning the Company's loan agreements
and accompanying terms and restrictions see Note 4 to Financial
Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended May 31, 1999 herein incorporated by reference thereto.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Certain of the statements contained in this report may be forward-
looking statements. Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements
regarding plans, objectives and expectations of the Company and its management.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in all such
forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Such forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among other
things, the effect of economic conditions, the impact of competition,
availability of capital, supply constraints or difficulties, the effect of the
Company's accounting policies and the effect of regulatory and legal
developments.
FISCAL 2000 - SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTH RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the quarter ended November 30, 1999 increased 13% to $13.1
million from $11.6 million for the prior year period. For the first half of
fiscal 2000 revenues were $25.9 million, an increase of 18% compared to revenues
of $22 million for the first half of last year, due primarily to continued solid
order entry for the Company's products.
Income before taxes for the second quarter was $958,000, compared to
$804,000 for the second quarter last year. Net income for the three months ended
November 30, 1999 was $619,000 (after normal income tax expense this quarter of
$339,000) or $.14 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $1.0
million (after including income tax credit for the same period last year of
$209,000) or $.23 diluted earnings per share for second quarter of last year.
Income before taxes for the six months ended November 30, 1999 was $2.5
million, up from $1.4 million last year due to continued improvements in cost of
goods sold. Interest expense for the six months fell 39% from $547,000 for the
prior year period to $333,000 due to reduced levels of debt and lower interest
rates under the Company's new credit facility. Net income for the six months
ended November 30, 1999 was $1.6 million (after normal income tax expense for
the first six months of $885,000) or $.35 diluted earnings per share, compared
to net income of $1.9 million (after including income tax credit for the same
period last year of $474,000) or $.43 diluted earnings per share one year ago.
Order backlog was $16.5 million at November 30, 1999, compared with the
November 30, 1998 level of $15.6 million, which represents an increase of 6%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Financial Review, Cash Flows and Commitments:
<PAGE> 12
Page 12 of 19
At November 30, 1999, current assets exceeded current liabilities by
$8.8 million and the Company had approximately $4.6 million available to borrow
under its revolving credit agreement. Cash flow from operations in the first
half of fiscal 2000 was $2.2 million, compared to $1.3 million for the first
half of fiscal 1999 due primarily to reduced interest expense and improved cash
flows related to the Company's new loan facilities.
In September 1999 all regularly scheduled dividends were paid on the
Company's preferred stock. The Company has not paid quarterly common stock
dividends due to loan covenants, which prohibit the payment of common stock
dividends. It is uncertain when, and if, the Company will pay common stock
dividends in the future.
In September 1999 the Company notified its preferred shareholders of its
intent to exercise its option to redeem all outstanding shares of Preferred
Stock effective as of November 17, 1999, at a redemption price of $13 per share.
As of November 17, 1999, the Company completed the redemption of 17,500 shares
of preferred stock for cash. Certain holders of preferred stock exercised their
right to convert each share of preferred stock into three shares of common stock
resulting in the conversion of 344,500 shares of preferred stock into 1,033,500
shares of the Company's common stock. In conjunction therewith, all preferred
stock dividends earned were paid in full. The Company has no further shares of
preferred stock outstanding.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants contained in its
loan agreements as of November 30, 1999. Management of the Company believes that
amounts available from operating cash flows, funds available under its revolving
credit agreement and the Company's borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet
its expected cash needs and capital expenditures for the fiscal year.
Year 2000
The Company has assessed and continues to assess the impact of the Year
2000 Issue on its reporting systems and operations. The Year 2000 Issue is the
result of computer programs which were written using two digits (rather than
four) to define the application year. Date-sensitive software could fail to
process critical financial and operational information correctly.
The Company has identified three major areas determined to be critical
for continued successful Year 2000 compliance: (1) financial and information
system applications; (2) manufacturing applications; and (3) third-party
relationships. Through January 12, 2000 the Company has experienced no known
difficulty related to the Year 2000 issue.
In the event that the Company and material third parties such as
suppliers and/or customers experience Year 2000 issues, a likely worst-case
scenario could bring about possible system failure or other interruption of
operations such as an inability to process transactions or engage in normal
business activities for a short time.
The Company has established contingency plans to address the
consequences of possible failure and will conduct an orderly shutdown or scale
back of operations if a loss of certain services is experienced. This is
essentially the same process currently used for non- Year 2000 system failures
that could occur.
<PAGE> 13
Page 13 of 19
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to market risk exposure related to changes in
interest rates on its revolving line of credit facility. Interest on borrowings
under this agreement accrues at a variable rate at the Lender's corporate Base
Rate minus 0.25% (8.25% at November 30, 1999). Due to the limited borrowings
under this agreement, interest rate risk exposure, assuming a ten percent
increase from the average variable rate, would be less than $25,000 per year.
