ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following discussion and analysis provides information which
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein.

a.       Results of Operations

                  Net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1996 were
         $1,608,000 as compared to net sales of $1,341,000 for the quarter ended
         January 31, 1995. The cost of sales was 45% as compared to 46% for the
         comparable 1995 period. The increase in sales was due to better
         economic climate.

                  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
         months ended January 31, 1996 were $777,000 as compared to $646,200 for
         the same 1995 period. The increase represents normal salary
         adjustments, hiring new people for the sales and quality control
         departments and write-off of promotional materials.

                  Research and development expenses for the quarter ended
         January 31, 1996 were $113,000 as compared to $102,000 for the quarter
         ended January 31, 1995. The increase is attributable to the Company's
         efforts to develop new infrared thermometers.

                  Other income for the three month period ended January 31, 1996
         was $34,600. This represents $25,000 of royalty income and $9,600 of
         investment income.

b.       Material Change in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

                  The Company's working capital decreased from $3,278,000 at
         October 31, 1995 to $3,217,000 at January 31, 1996.

                  At January 31, 1996, the Company's capital resources and its
         sources of liquidity was $625,000 in cash and temporary cash
         investments.

                  Management does not believe that a return of inflation will
         have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations because it
         believes that the Company will be able to increase its selling prices
         to reflect most increases in its cost.
