ITEM 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
             Operation

Results of Operations
Three and nine months ended September 30 1996 v.
Three and nine months ended September 30 1995

Net Sales:
Net sales  increased  70.1%  from  $1,284,021  for the third  quarter of 1995 to
$2,183,619  for the third  quarter of 1996.  The Company  recorded  net sales of
$5,499,326 for the first nine months of 1996, a 11.6%  increase over  $4,317,637
in net  sales  for the same  period in 1995.  The  increased  sales for both the
quarter and the first nine months of 1996  compared  to 1995 are  attributed  to
increases in contract  design and  manufacturing  sales, as well as increases in
sales  of  the  Company's  security/industrial  products.  Contract  design  and
manufacturing  sales increased at a faster rate, as a percentage of total sales,
than the  security/industrial  product sales did for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1996.

The Company's  management  believes that, for the foreseeable  future, net sales
from  contract  design and  manufacturing  services  will  continue to grow at a
faster rate than security/industrial products. In July 1996 the Company obtained
a $5.6  million  purchase  order from Select  Comfort  Corporation.  The Company
expects  to begin  shipping  product  with  respect  to such order in the fourth
quarter of 1996. The Company continues to direct  considerable  attention toward
expanding customer relationships and securing new, long-term contract design and
manufacturing customer relationships.

Gross Profits:
Gross  profit  was  $396,217  or 18.1% of net sales for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1996,  compared  to  $152,768 or 11.9% of net sales for the same
period in 1995.  Gross profit was $1,099,282 or 20.0% of net sales for the first
nine  months of 1996,  compared  to  $758,262 or 17.6% of net sales for the same
period in 1995.  The increased  gross profit for both the quarter and first nine
months of 1996 is primarily  attributed to net sales increasing at a faster rate
than associated  fixed costs. To a lesser degree,  the sales mix for the periods
also had a favorable effect on the gross profits.

Operating Expenses:
General and  administrative  expense  was  $188,970 or 8.7% of net sales for the
three months  ended  September  30,  1996,  compared to $159,122 or 12.4% of net
sales for the period in 1995. General and  administrative  expense for the first
nine months of 1996 was $579,699 or 10.5% of net sales,  compared to $537,154 or
12.4%  for the same  period  in 1995.  The  actual  general  and  administrative
expenses increased only marginally, while declining as a percentage of net sales
for both the  third  quarter  and first  nine  months  of 1996.  The  additional
expenses were necessary to support an increased level of sales.


<PAGE>

Marketing  expense  was  $48,407  or 2.2% of net  sales  for the  quarter  ended
September  30,  1996,  compared  to $46,822 or 3.6% for the same period in 1995.
Marketing expense was $143,132 or 2.6% of net sales for the first nine months of
1996,  compared  to  $154,541  or 3.6% of net sales for the same period in 1995.
Marketing  expense as a  percentage  of sales  declined  for both the first nine
months and the third quarter of 1996 compared to 1995.  The nominal  decrease in
marketing  expenditures for the first half of 1996 reflects a temporary shift in
efforts due to the increased  demands of new contract  design and  manufacturing
customer relationships.

Research and development  expense was $88,073 or 4.0% of net sales for the third
quarter of 1996, compared to $49,594 or 3.9% of net sales for the same period in
1995.  Research  and  development  expense for the first nine months of 1996 was
$222,665 or 4.0% of net sales, compared to $143,855 or 3.3% of net sales for the
same  period  in  1995.  The  increased  research  and  development  expense  is
attributed to increased  technical staffing and the purchases of additional test
and  development  equipment.  Both the addition of staff and the  acquisition of
research  and   development   equipment  are  intended  to  further  assist  the
development  of new  products,  the  enhancement  of  existing  products  and to
continue to provide full  technical  and  development  services to the Company's
customers.

Interest Expense:
Interest  expense  was $43,390 or 2.0% of net sales for the three  months  ended
September 30, 1996, compared to $15,334 or 1.2% of net sales for the same period
in 1995.  Interest  expense was $113,348 or 2.1% of net sales for the first nine
months ended  September  30, 1996,  compared to $61,222 or 1.4% of net sales for
the same period in 1995. The increase in interest expense  reflected  additional
borrowing needed to support increased sales and inventories.

Net Earnings:
The  Company  recorded  net  income of $41,213 or $0.016 per share for the third
quarter of 1996,  compared to a net loss of $111,123 or $0.043 per share for the
same period in 1995.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, the Company
reported  net income of $102,085 or $0.039 per share,  compared to a net loss of
$133,259 or $0.054 per share for the same period in 1995.  The Company  recorded
increased  sales and  increased  net income  for the first  nine  months of 1996
compared to 1995. The Company also reported increased interest income and rental
income during the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

The Company  believes  inflation has not  significantly  affected its results of
operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The current  ratio on September 30, 1996 was 1.37 to 1, compared to 1.61 to 1 on
December 31, 1995. Working capital on September 30, 1996 was $1,103,068 compared
to  $1,221,862  on December  31, 1995.  The decrease is primarily  the result of
increased short term borrowing and increased accounts  receivable offset in part
by increased inventories.

The Company has entered into a new revolving  credit  agreement with the Norwest
Bank Minnesota  South  N.A.("Norwest"),  first amendment dated October 21, 1996,
with a maximum loan limit of $3,500,000,  subject to additional  limitations set
forth in the credit agreement.  The interest rate is calculated at 3/4% over the
prime  interest  rate,  which is  unchanged  from  the  previous  agreement.  At
September 30, 1996, there was $1,995,227 outstanding under the line of credit.

In addition to the  $1,500,000  increase on the  revolving  line of credit,  the
Company  also  entered  into a five year term loan  agreement  with  Norwest for
$500,000.  Management  believes  that with the total  increase of  $2,000,000 in
credit  available,  which doubles the previous credit  available,  together with
cash flows from  operations  that this will be sufficient to meets the Company's
capital needs in the foreseeable future.

Norwest Bank Minnesota South,
National Association                                           First Amendment

This First  Amendment  (the "First  Amendment")  dated as of October 21, 1996 is
between  Norwest Bank Minnesota  South,  National  Association  (the "Bank") and
Winland Electronics, Incorporated (the "Borrower").

BACKGROUND

The  Borrower and the Bank entered  into a credit  agreement  (the  "Agreement")
dated  January 31, 1996,  pursuant to which the Bank  extended to the Borrower a
$2,000,000.00  revolving line of credit (the "Line").  Borrowings under the Line
are  evidenced  by a revolving  note dated the same date as the  Agreement  (the
"January 1996 Revolving Note").

The Borrower has requested that the Bank increase the Line to $3,500,000.00  and
provide it with a new $500,000.0 term loan to be used to payoff a portion of the
outstanding  balance of the Line.  The Bank is willing to grant  these  requests
subject to the terms and conditions of this First Amendment.  Capitalized  terms
not otherwise  defined in this First Amendment shall have the meaning given them
in the Agreement.

In  consideration  of the  premises,  the Bank and the  Borrower  agree that the
Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

1.       Section 1.1 of the  Agreement  is hereby  deleted in its  entirety  and
         restated as follows:

         1.1 Line of Credit Amount.  during the Line Availability Period defined
         below,  the Bank  agrees to  provide a  conditional  revolving  line of
         credit (the "Line") to the Borrower. Outstanding amounts under the Line
         will not, at any one time,  exceed the lesser of 1) the Borrowing  Base
         less the amount of principal  and interest  outstanding  under the Term
         Loan  or  2)  Three   Million   Five   Hundred   and   00/100   Dollars
         ($3,500,000.00).  The Borrowing  Base is defined in Exhibit A-1 of this
         Agreement.  This is a  conditional  revolving  line of credit  and each
         advance under the Line, if made,  will be at the sole discretion of the
         Bank.

2.       Section 1.4 of the  Agreement  is hereby  deleted in its  entirety  and
         restated as follows:

         1.4  Mandatory  Prepayment.  If at any time the  principal  outstanding
         under the Revolving  Note exceeds the lesser of 1) the  Borrowing  Base
         less the amount of principal  and interest  outstanding  under the Term
         Loan or 2)  $3,500,000.00,  the Borrower  must  immediately  prepay the
         Revolving Note to eliminate the excess.

3.       A new Section 1A of the Agreement shall be added as follows:

         1A.      TERM LOAN

         1A.1 Term Loan  Amount.  The Bank  agrees to provide a term loan to the
         Borrower  in the amount of Five  Hundred  Thousand  and 00/100  Dollars
         ($500,000.00) (the "Term Loan"), provided that all conditions precedent
         described in this  Agreement have been met and that the Borrower is not
         otherwise in default as of the date of  disbursement.  The Term Loan is
         available in one disbursement on the date of this First Amendment.


<PAGE>

         1A.2 The Term Note.  The  Borrower's  obligation to repay  outstandings
         under the Term Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory  note (the "Term
         Note") dated as of the date of this First Amendment.  Reference is made
         to the Term Note for terms  relating to interest  rate,  repayment  and
         other conditions governing the Term Loan.

4.       Section  7.2(a) of the Agreement is hereby  deleted in its entirety and
         restated as follows:

(a)      Tangible  Net  Worth.  Maintain  a  positive  Tangible  Net Worth as of
         December  31,  1996 that is no less than the  Borrower's  Tangible  Net
         Worth as of December 31, 1995.

         "Tangible Net Worth" means total assets less total liabilities and less
         the  following  types  of  assets:  (1)  leasehold  improvements;   (2)
         receivables   and  other   investments  in  or  amounts  due  from  any
         shareholder,  director,  officer,  employee  or other  person or entity
         related to or  affiliated  with the Borrower;  (3)  goodwill,  patents,
         copyrights,  mailing lists, trade names, trademarks,  servicing rights,
         organizational  and franchise costs, bond underwriting  costs and other
         like assets properly classified as intangible.

5.       Section  7.2(b) of the Agreement is hereby  deleted in its entirety and
         restated as follows:

         (b) Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth Ratio.  Maintain a ratio of
         total  liabilities  to Tangible Net Worth equal to or less than 3.00 to
         1.0 as of December 31, 1996.

6. Simultaneously with the execution of this First Amendment, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to the Bank a revolving note (the "Revolving  Note") in form
and content  acceptable to the Bank,  which shall replace,  but not be deemed to
satisfy,  the January 1996 Revolving  Note. The initial balance of the Revolving
Note shall be the balance of the January 1996  Revolving  Note as of the date of
this First  Amendment.  Each  reference in the Agreement to the  Revolving  Note
shall be  deemed  to refer to the  Revolving  Note  dated as of the date of this
First Amendment.

7. The Revolving Note and the Term Note shall collectively be referred to in the
Agreement as the "Notes".  Each  reference in Section 8 of the  Agreement to the
"Revolving Note" shall be amended to refer to the "Notes".

8. Amended  Exhibits A-1 and A-2 attached hereto shall replace  Exhibits A-1 and
A-2 to the Agreement.

9.       The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Bank as follows:

                  A. The Agreement as amended by this First Amendment remains in
         full force and effect.

                  B. The  Borrower  has no  knowledge  of any default  under the
         terms of the Agreement or the Revolving Note, or of any event that with
         notice or the lapse of time or both would  constitute  a default  under
         the Agreement or any such notes.

                  C. The  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of this  First
         Amendment,  the  Revolving  Note  and the  Term  Note  are  within  its
         corporate   powers,   have  been  duly   authorized   and  are  not  in
         contravention  of law or  the  terms  of  the  Borrower's  articles  of
         incorporation  or by-laws,  or of any undertaking to which the Borrower
         is a part or by which it is bound.

                  D. The resolutions  set forth in the Corporate  Certificate of
         Authority  dated  October 25, 1991 and delivered by the Borrower to the
         Bank have not been amended or  rescinded,  and remain in full force and
         effect.

10. Except as modified by this First Amendment,  the Agreement remains unchanged
and in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Bank and Borrower have executed this First Amendment as
of the date and year first above written.
