        The accompanying  unaudited  consolidated financial statements have been

of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended February 28,

        Certain amounts presented in Accounts  receivable,  affiliates at August

5.      EXTRAORDINARY ITEM - EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT

        As a result of the early  retirement  of the Chemical  Bank debt and the
partial  payment on The CIT  Group/Equity  Investments,  Inc.  note, the Company
recognized an  extraordinary  expense of $93,000 (net of the related tax benefit
of $54,000) for the write down of deferred  financing  expenses related to these
debts during the three months ended February 29, 1996.

6.      EARNINGS PER SHARE

        Net earnings per share is computed using the weighted  average number of
shares of common stock outstanding for the period. When dilutive,  stock options
and warrants are included as share  equivalents using the treasury stock method.
In  calculating  net  earnings  per share,  preferred  dividends  of $23,916 and
$47,568 reduced the net earnings available to common  stockholders for the three
months and six months ended February 28, 1997,  respectively.  Fully diluted net
earnings  per common  share is not  significantly  different  from  primary  net
earnings per common share.

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

        This  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q  contains  certain  forward-looking
statements  that involve risks and  uncertainties.  Discussions  containing such
forward-looking  statements  may be found in the  materials  set forth  below in
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations."  The Company's  actual results could differ  materially  from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations - Three and Six Months Ended
February 29, 1996 and February 28, 1997

        Contract  revenue  decreased  30.7% to $6.2 million for the three months
ended  February 28, 1997 from $8.9  million for the three months ended  February
29,  1996.  Contract  revenue  for the first six months of the 1997  fiscal year
decreased  20.7% to $12.8  million from $16.2 million for the same period of the
preceding  year.  The quarterly  decrease is the result of decreases in revenues
from  industrial  gas and LNG trailers,  MRI cryostats and  components,  and LNG
fueling  stations,   which  decreased  $2.6  million,   $837,000  and  $340,000,
respectively,  over the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company does
not believe that these  decreases  are  indicative of a long-term  trend.  These
decreases  were offset  somewhat by increased  revenues from TVAC'r'  intermodal
containers and large  horizontal  storage tanks,  which  increased  $699,000 and
$525,000,  respectively,  over the corresponding  1996 period. For the six month
period the decrease was  primarily  the result of the decrease in revenues  from
industrial gas and LNG trailers,  MRI cryostats and components,  and LNG fueling
stations, which decreased $3.1 million, $1.1 million and $538,000, respectively,
over the  corresponding six month period in the prior year. These decreases were
offset somewhat by increased revenues from TVAC'r' intermodal containers, spares
and special  cryogenic  equipment,  which  increased $1.0 million,  $191,000 and
$136,000, respectively, over the corresponding 1996 period.

        Gross  profit for the three months  ended  February  28, 1997  decreased
34.0% to $1.1 million, or 18.5% of contract revenue, from $1.7 million, or 19.4%
of contract revenue,  for the three months ended February 29, 1996. Gross profit
for the first six months of the 1997 fiscal year decreased 9.7% to $2.8 million,
or 21.4% of contract revenue,  from $3.0 million,  or 18.8% of contract revenue,
for the same period of the  previous  year.  The gross  profit  decrease for the
quarter  was the result of the  reduced  revenues  combined  with  losses on LNG
fueling station sales and unabsorbed  manufacturing overhead expenses due to the
reduced  level of shop  activity.  For the six month  period  the  decrease  was
primarily due to the reduced revenues and increased  warranty costs,  which were
offset somewhat by the increased gross profit percentage.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 28.8% to $598,000
for the three months ended  February 28, 1997 from $840,000 for the three months
ended  February 29, 1996,  and increased as a percentage of contract  revenue to
9.7% from 9.4%  during the same  period.  Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses  for the  first  six  months of  fiscal  1997  decreased  3.4% to $1.49
million,  or 11.6% of contract revenue,  from $1.54 million, or 9.5% of contract
revenue,

in the  corresponding  period in the  prior  year.  The  quarterly  decrease  is
primarily  due to the  unaccrued  reimbursement  for sales  expenses  related to
Applied LNG Technologies  USA, LLC.  Research and development costs decreased to
$169,000  for the three months  ended  February  28, 1997 from  $229,000 for the
three months ended  February 29, 1996,  and to $330,000 for the first six months
of fiscal 1997 compared to $431,000 for the comparable period of the prior year.
This  decrease is primarily the result of the decrease in  expenditures  for new
LNG  products,  which is  partially  offset by  increased  expenditures  for the
Company's TADOPTR development. Amortization expense decreased to $60,000 for the
three  months  ended  February  28, 1997 from $86,000 for the three months ended
February  29,  1996,  and to  $121,000  for the first six months of fiscal  1997
compared  to  $172,000  for the  comparable  period of the prior year due to the
completion of the organization cost amortization in the prior year.

        Interest  expense for the three months ended February 28, 1997 increased
7.4% to $219,000 from $204,000 for the three months ended  February 29, 1996 and
increased  11.6% to  $491,000  for the first six months of the 1997  fiscal year
from  $440,000  for the same  period of the  preceding  year.  This  increase is
primarily  due to  increased  levels of  borrowing.  Other  non-operating  items
resulted in income of $52,000 for the three  months  ended  February  28,  1997,
compared  to income of $1,000 in the  comparable  period of 1996,  and income of
$56,000  in the first six months of this year  compared  to income of $5,000 for
the first six months of the 1996 fiscal  year.  The  increase in income for both
periods  is  attributable  to the  $49,000  profit on the sale of the  Company's
interest in Applied LNG Technologies USA, LLC.

        Income tax  expense  decreased  to $56,000  for the three  months  ended
February 28, 1997 from $139,000 for the three months ended February 29, 1996 and
to $140,000  for the first six months of the fiscal year from  $174,000  for the
first six months of the prior  year.  The expense in both years is the result of
taxable income for the periods and estimated annual tax rates.

        The resulting net income decreased to $96,000 for the three months ended
February 28, 1997 from  $146,000 for the  corresponding  prior year period,  and
increased to $239,000 for the six months ended  February 28, 1997 from  $205,000
for the  corresponding  six month  period of the prior year.  This change is the
result of the cumulative effect of the above factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        At February 28, 1997 the  Company's  working  capital was $9.8  million,
which  represented a current ratio of 2.7 to 1. Also, the Company's  outstanding
indebtedness  under the Credit Agreement with FBS Business  Finance  Corporation
("FBS") was $7.1 million,  of which $538,000  represented term  indebtedness and
$6.6  million  represented  revolving  indebtedness.  At  February  28, 1997 the
Company's outstanding indebtedness to The CIT Group/Equity Investments, Inc. was
$1.2 million which represented subordinated indebtedness.

        Cash flow from  operations  for the six months  ended  February 28, 1997
resulted in cash provided in the amount of $899,000 compared to cash provided of
$630,000 in the same period


                                       12

of the prior year. In the current year,  cash was provided  primarily by the net
income and by decreases in accounts  receivable and costs and estimated earnings
in excess of  billings  on  uncompleted  contracts  and an  increase in accounts
payable. These increases in cash were somewhat offset by cash used for increased
inventories.  In the six  months  ended  February  29,  1996  cash was  provided
primarily by net income and non-cash expenses.

        The Company believes that its existing capital resources,  together with
cash flow from  future  operations  will be  sufficient  to meet its short  term
working capital needs. Additional financing may be required for future expansion
of operations.
