 PART 1


 Item 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL
           CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, which ended September
 30, 1995 was $332,000 compared to net income for the first quarter of fiscal
 1995 of $544,000.  The first quarter of fiscal 1996 included 14 weeks compared
 to 13 weeks in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.

      Net sales for the first quarter of the current fiscal year were
 $29,137,000, an  11.2% decline from net sales in the first quarter of fiscal
 1995 which had recorded the highest quarterly sales in the Company's history.
 However, both net income and net sales during the current quarter showed
 improvement over the results of operations and sales levels reported in the
 third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995. Net sales were $19,820,000 and
 $24,773,000 for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1995, respectively,
 while the Company recorded net losses of $749,000 and $109,000, respectively,
 for those same periods.

      Unit sales were 7.1% lower in the first quarter of the current fiscal
 year compared to the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.  As mentioned in
 the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
 Operations in the Company's 1995 Annual Report, the loss of several customer
 accounts during fiscal 1995 and the first quarter of fiscal 1996 contributed
 to the decline in the net sales and net income in the first quarter of fiscal
 1996 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1995.  New business acquired
 in the latter part of the current first quarter has the potential to more than
 offset this lost business.  The Company continues to pursue new business
 opportunities to mitigate the impact of customer turnover.

      The gross margin percentage generated in the first quarter of fiscal 1996
 was 21.5% compared to 23.5% for the same period in fiscal 1995.  The decline
 in the gross margin percentage reflects the mix of products sold, as well as a
 higher than usual level of customer product returns during the period.  These
 returns occur in the normal course of business for cores, stock adjustments
 and warranty.  While over longer periods of time the relationship of returns
 to sales remains relatively constant, occasional quarterly fluctuations do
 occur.  When returns are higher than average, gross margins decline and,
 alternatively, when returns are lower than average, gross margins increase.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of
 fiscal 1996 of $5,186,000, or 17.8% of net sales, are down from those expenses
 for the same period last year of $6,380,000 or 19.4%.  The Company implemented
 various cost reduction measures in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.  These
 measures included the discontinuation of certain administrative functions and
 contracted services, a 10%

                                 Page 7
<PAGE>
 reduction in administrative staff and the implementation of improvements to
 the purchasing process.  These measures contributed to the decline in the
 current fiscal quarter's spending.  Also, the first quarter of last year
 included customer acquisition expenses that exceeded similar expenses in the
 current year by approximately $491,000.

      Interest expense in the current period of $547,000 exceeded the prior
 year interest expense of $442,000.  Higher average borrowing during the first
 quarter of fiscal 1996 contributed to the increase in the current year
 expenses.

      The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations, combined
 with available credit lines, will be adequate to provide for the Company's
 cash requirements for fiscal 1996.
