                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

             FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 1995


    Results of Operation

    Net sales for the first six months ended April 30, 1995, were
    $26,892,553 compared to $24,372,858 for the same period in 1994.
    Sales for the second quarter ended April 30, 1995, were $14,138,344
    compared to $12,267,232 in 1994.  The increase in sales is primarily
    due to increased shipments by the Company's Intercomp division, and
    to a lesser degree raw material price increases which have upwardly
    impacted the selling price of the Company's wire and cable products.

    On November 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS 109, "Accounting for
    Income Taxes".  The cumulative effect of this change in accounting
    principle increased net earnings by $154,157 or $.06 per share for
    the six months ended April 30, 1994.

    Net earnings for the six months ended April 30, 1995, were $575,217,
    or $.22 per share compared to net earnings before cumulative effect
    of change in accounting principle for the six months ended April 30,
    1994, of $858,073 or $.32 per share.  Net earnings for the second
    quarter of 1995 were $337,068 or $.13 per share compared to $430,277
    or $.16 per share in 1994.  These differences are primarily due to
    income derived from Engineering Services.  From time to time, the
    Company performs Engineering Services for unrelated parties.  During
    the second quarter ended April 30, 1994, the Company received income
    from Engineering Services of $152,011 which increased after tax
    earnings by $.04.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months
    ended April 30, 1995, were $4,481,464 compared to $4,110,091 for the
    same period in 1994.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
    for the second quarter ended April 30, 1995, were $2,187,616
    compared to $2,072,476 for the second quarter of 1994.  The increase
    in selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and
    six months ended April 30, 1995, is due to higher shipping expenses
    and sales commissions related to the increase in net sales.

    Gross margin for the quarter ended April 30, 1995, decreased to
    19.7% from 21.5% during the same quarter of 1994. For the six months
    ended April 30, 1995, gross margin decreased to 19.9% from 22.2% for
    the same period in 1994. The decrease is primarily due to a shift in
    product mix to products which would generally be considered
    commodities, and a substantial decrease in demand for
    large satellite dish cable resulting from the introduction of the
    small dish in late 1994.  The uncertainty in the satellite TV market 
    as to which dish the consumer will install resulted in lower shipments
    of all satellite related cables.

    Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company signed a
    letter of intent to sell its Aerospace Systems division located in
    Fairmont, Minnesota.  Management believes this to be a strategic
    move to re-deploy its assets in its core business of wire and cable.
    The Aerospace Systems division manufactures wiring harnesses,
    primarily for military application.
