Part I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                   January 31, 1996

NOTE A - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preceding unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements
("statements") should be read in conjunction with the Registrant's audited
financial statements for the year ended April 30, 1995

The preceding statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position at January 31,
1996 and the results of operations for the period then ended.  All adjustments
are of a normal recurring nature.

NOTE B - BACKLOG

Backlog of unfilled orders for which contractual commitments have been received
as of January 31, 1996 was $32.6 million.


                         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                                          OF
                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales of $10.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 1996 were 22%
higher than the $8.5 million reported for the comparable period one year
earlier.  Year-to-date sales of $32.8 million were 31% higher than the $25.1
million for the nine months ended January 31, 1995.  Sales were up at all
businesses due to broad based demand increases in many existing served markets
and selective penetration of new markets and customers.

Operating income for the most recent quarter was $0.3 million compared with a
$0.2 million operating loss for the quarter one year earlier.  Year-to-date
operating income was $2.7 million compared with $0.7 million last year.  The
majority of the year-to-year improvement is related to increased volume, a more
profitable mix of business, and improved margins on new programs, partially
offset by increased selling, general and administrative expense associated with
the substantially higher activity levels.

The $0.1 million net loss for the most recent quarter compares to a net loss of
$0.6 million for the three-month period one year earlier.  Year-to-date net
income of $0.9 million was $1.6 million better than the $0.6 million net loss
for the nine-month period one year earlier.  The improvement is directly related
to the volume and mix changes discussed earlier, partially offset by an increase
in the tax provision for the current year of approximately $0.6 million.

On February 16, 1996, the Registrant executed a definitive merger agreement with
Vernitron Corporation.  The transaction is subject to the successful completion
of the normal pre-closing activities.  Closing is expected during the second
calendar quarter of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash provided by operations of $1.2 million for the nine months ended January
31, 1996 was lower than the amount generated for the same period of the prior
year of $2.0 million.  Net income for the current period was significantly
higher than the same period one year earlier but was offset by increases in net
current assets during the period.  Inventory levels continued to increase this
period due to continued high activity levels to support sales increases and
short-term delays in customer shipments at two of the subsidiaries.

Net cash used in financing activities of $.9 million for the nine months ended
January 31, 1996 was lower than the amount used in the same period of the prior
year of $1.9 million.  The reduction was due to a lower reduction of the
revolving credit agreement and increases in the outstanding checks in excess of
available cash balances at January 31, 1996 compared to the same period one year
earlier.

Capital expenditures, including capital leases, during the nine month periods
ended January 31, 1996 and 1995 were $1.8 million for each period.  As of
January 31, 1996, there were purchase order commitments for capital equipment of
$0.7 million of which $0.5 million is expected to be financed by leasing.

The Registrant has available, a maximum revolving credit agreement of $4.0
million.  Availability of the line of credit is based on a calculation utilizing
a percentage of accounts receivable and a percentage of certain components of
inventory.  As of January 31, 1996, $4.0 million was available, with $0.2
million drawn against the calculated borrowing base.
