Item 2.           Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                  Conditions and Results of Operations

This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included
elsewhere in this report.

Results of Operations
Three and six months ended February 29, 1996 vs. three and six
months ended February 28, 1995.

Sales:  Sales for the second quarter ended February 29, 1996 and
February 28, 1995 respectively are $4,811,007 versus $5,329,327,
a 9.7% decrease.  Sales for the six months ended February 28,
1996 and 1995 are $10,092,280  versus $9,131,630, a 10.5%
increase.  The sales revenue decrease for the quarter is
attributed to reduced government sales of $1,470,000 from 1995,
and six months to date reductions of $1,797,635.  When government
sales revenues are factored out of 1995 sales, the Company
experienced a 25% increase in sales for the second quarter and
37% increase for the six months ended February 29, 1996, versus
comparable prior year periods.  The sales revenue increases for
the quarter and six months are partially attributable to added
sales from the acquisitions of Sunelco, Inc. and Jadco
Manufacturing, Inc., and increased revenues from the Company's
core business accounts in industrial products and systems, and
distribution business in domestic and international markets. In
general, sales revenue increases are due to volume increases,
with little or no effect related to price changes.

Gross Profit:  Gross Profit (sales less cost of sales) increased
13.2% and 21.4% for the second quarter and six months ended
February 29, 1996 versus the same period in 1995.  Gross profits
were $1,438,601 or 30% for the second quarter and $2,772,275 or
27.5% for the six months ended February 29, 1996 compared to
$1,270,208 or 23.8% for the quarter and $2,283,313 or 25% for the
six months ended February 28, 1995.  The 13.2% increase in the
second quarter is attributed to increases in gross profit
percentages from 23.8% in 1995 to 30% in 1996, offsetting sales
reduction for the period of $518,320.  The 21.4% increase for six
months ended February 29, 1996 versus 1995 are attributed to
sales revenue increases as well as increased gross profit margins
to 27.5% from 25% for the prior year comparable period.

The gross profit percentage improvement is attributed to higher
profit business associated to industrial products and systems
business in 1996 versus 1995, the addition of retail sales from
the Sunelco acquisition and the reductions of lower margin
government contract business in 1996 versus 1995.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A):  SG&A
Expenses in 1996 were $1,164,663 for the second quarter and
$2,270,942 for the six months ended February 29, 1996, compared 

<PAGE>    9

to $987,029 and $1,861,977 for the same periods in the prior
year.  The 18% and 22% increase from the prior year are
attributed to additional sales and marketing expenses, with most
of the increases associated to additional marketing expenses from
the Sunelco acquisition in October of 1995.

Other Income (Expense):  The Company's non-operating income and
expenses consist mainly of interest expense and consulting
income.  Interest expense for the quarter was approximately the
same in the second quarter and for the six months compared to the
same periods in the prior year.  Other income was also very
comparable for the quarter and six months ended versus the same
periods in the prior year.

Net Income:  The Company achieved a net income of $271,852 ($.02
per common share) for the quarter and $491,633 ($.03 per common
share) for the six months ended February 29, 1996, representing
approximately the same income for the quarter and a 17.5%
increase for the six month period ended February 29, 1996 versus
comparable prior year periods.

The net income for the quarter of $271,852 versus $281,253,
approximately the same for the comparable periods, is a result of
lower sales revenues, offset by significantly higher gross profit
margins in the Company's industrial products and retail business,
with corresponding offsets for increases in sales expenses for
retail operations.  The 17% increase in net income for the six
month period is attributed to higher sales, improved gross profit
margins and offsetting increases in SG&A expenses compared to the
prior year six months ended February 28, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:  The Company's working capital
position continues to be stable.  Working capital increased to
$4,876,078 at February 29, 1996 from $4,745,021 at August 31,
1995.  The current ratio is 2.8 at February 29, 1996 versus 3.8
at August 31, 1995 and the debt to equity ratio is .04 at
February 29, 1996 versus .11 at August 31, 1995.  The reduction
in current ratio and the reduction in debt to equity ratio is a
result of classifying a long-term mortgage loan of $485,000 which
is due in November of 1996 into current liabilities.  The Company
expects to refinance the mortgage loan in the fourth quarter of
1996.  The effect of reclassifying this debt back to a long-term
liability causes a .6 increase in the current ratio and .06
increase to the debt to equity ratio, which is consistent with
the first quarter and year end ratios of 1995.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months of
$14,734 was primarily due to increases in inventory and accounts
receivable of $1,287,895, with offsetting increases in accounts
payable and decreases in other current assets of $612,041 with
cash contributions from profits and depreciation of $670,822.


<PAGE>    10

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months of
$567,690 was for the purchase of property and equipment, and the
acquisitions of Sunelco and Solarjack.  Cash used for purchases
of property and equipment of $174,157 was primarily for
manufacturing equipment, leasehold improvements and computer
equipment.  Cash used in the acquisitions of Sunelco and
Solarjack was $393,533.

Cash provided by financing activities of $329,922 was comprised
of repayments of $83,257 of the long-term debt, offset by
proceeds of $473,684 from the issuance of common stock and
payment of dividends of $60,505.

On February 28, 1996, the Company renewed and expanded its
$1,000,000 credit line with First Interstate Bank of Arizona to
$1,200,000.  The credit line is a revolving line with an annual
maturity on February 28, 1997.  It has certain operating
covenants and is secured by the Company's inventory and accounts
receivable.  Interest on the line is calculated at prime plus one
half of a point per annum with interest-only payments payable
monthly.

Although no assurances are possible, the Company believes that
its future operating cash flows, access to increased bank lines
of credit, and ability to access additional equity such as the
exercise of present outstanding employee stock options, will
provide adequate funding for current obligations, projected
operations and planned expansions for the next twelve months and
the foreseeable future.
