but which is not required for interim reporting purposes has been condensed or

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

      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.

Results of Operations

      Net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1999 (the "1999 Period")
declined 21.6% to $1,704,508 from net sales of $2,175,728 for the quarter ended
January 31, 1998. Such decline was primarily due to purchase reductions
triggered by slowdowns of the economies in various Southeast Asian countries.
The cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the 1999 period was 48% as
compared to 46% for the comparable 1998 period. The increase in cost of sales as
a percentage of net sales for the 1999 Period was due to lower margins in
products sold during the period.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the 1999 Period were
$826,324 as compared to $821,613 for the comparable period in 1998.

      Research and development expenses for the 1999 Period was $173,408 as
compared to $155,720 for the quarter ended January 31, 1998. The increases in
the 1999 Period over the comparable 1998 period are attributable to the addition
of personnel and outside consultants.

      Other income for the 1999 Period was $4,146 as compared to $1,802 for the
quarter ended January 31, 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's working capital increased from $3,227,978 at October 31,
1998 to $3,346,933 at January 31, 1999.

      At January 31, 1999, the Company's capital resources and its sources of
liquidity consisted of $689,569 in cash and temporary cash investments and
accounts receivable of $929,138.

      Management does not believe that increases in the rate of inflation would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations or financial
condition because it believes that the Company would be able to increase the
selling prices of its products to offset most increases in its costs.


                                                                               7
