ITEM 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended January 30, 1998 Compared to Three Months
Ended January 31, 1997

Net sales for the three months of fiscal 1998 were $20.4 million,
up $3.7 million, or 22%, compared to net sales
of $16.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 1997.  The
increase was the result of higher net sales volume
in automotive products primarily attributable to sales of sensor
assemblies for use in a passlock theft deterrent
system on model year 1998 trucks and sport utility vehicles.

Gross profit in the first three months of fiscal 1998 was $8.3
million, or 40.7% of net sales, compared to $6.6
million, or 39.5% of net sales, in the comparable period of
fiscal 1997.  The increase in absolute dollars resulted
primarily from the higher net sales volume in automotive
products.

Product development and engineering expenses during the first
three months of fiscal 1998 were $1.5 million, or
7.1% of net sales, compared to $1.3 million, or 8.0% of net
sales, during the comparable period of the prior fiscal
year.  Although expenses in absolute dollars were up slightly
from the prior year, they are down as a percentage
of net sales due to the increase in net sales for the period. 
These expenses were primarily related to the
development of new products and processes as well as ongoing
engineering support.  The Company anticipates
expenditures to increase in absolute dollars during fiscal 1998
in order to support new product development and
expand ongoing engineering support.

Selling, general and administrative expenses during the first
three months of fiscal 1998 were $2.4 million, or
11.9% of net sales, compared to $2.2 million, or 12.9% of net
sales, in the first three months of fiscal 1998. 
Although expenses in absolute dollars were up slightly from the
prior year, they are down as a percentage of net
sales due to the increase in net sales for the period.

Operating income for the first three months of fiscal 1998 was
$4.4 million, or 21.7% of net sales, versus $3.1
million, or 18.6% of net sales, during the comparable period of
fiscal 1997.  The increase in operating income was
attributable primarily to higher net sales volume.

Other (income) expense consisted primarily of interest income of
$111,000 in the first three months of fiscal 1998
and interest expense of $83,000 in the comparable period of
fiscal 1997.  The Company repaid the remaining
balance of long-term debt during the second quarter of fiscal
1997 and earned interest income on accumulated cash
balances since that time.

Income tax expense for the first three months of fiscal 1998 was
$1.6 million, or 7.8% of net sales, compared to
$1.0 million, or 6.1% of net sales, in the same period of fiscal
1997.  The increase in tax expense for the period
was attributable to higher income. The effective tax rate for
both periods was 35%.

As a result of the factors discussed above, net income for the
first three months of fiscal 1998 was $2.9 million,
or 14.4% of net sales, compared to $1.9 million, or 11.5% of net
sales, in the first three months of fiscal 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generated approximately $3.7 million in cash from
operations during the first three months of fiscal
1998.  The largest use of operating cash flow was the purchase of
manufacturing equipment in the amount of $2.0
million.  At the end of the first three months of fiscal 1998,
the Company s working capital was $16.6 million
including $11.6 million of cash and cash equivalents.
<PAGE>
The Company anticipates that additional manufacturing capacity,
primarily in Mexico, will be required to support
growth over the next several years.  Therefore, capital
expenditures are planned to increase to a total of
approximately $10 to $15 million to be expended over the next two
to three fiscal years to support anticipated future
growth in demand for the company s products.  The timing and
amount of such expenditures is subject to adjustment
based upon continued evaluation by management.

In January 1998, the Company obtained a three-year $10.0 million
unsecured line of credit from NationsBank N.A.
Borrowings under this facility bear interest, at the option of
the Company, either at (i) a LIBOR-based rate plus a
margin ranging from 1.00% per annum to 1.50% per annum, depending
upon the Company s ratio of indebtedness
to operating income, or (ii) a base rate equal to a reference
rate plus a margin ranging from  1.00% to 0%,
depending upon the Company s ratio of indebtedness to operating
income.  These facilities contain customary
covenants that, among other things:  require the maintenance of
certain financial ratios relating to fixed charge and
interest coverage and debt and equity amounts; require the
maintenance of certain net worth levels; restrict liens on
Company and subsidiary assets; and limit the payment of cash
dividends.

The Company anticipates that it will generate sufficient cash
flow from operations to meet its obligations, including
capital requirements, for the next 12 months.  However, an
unanticipated expansion or contraction of its business
or future acquisitions may require the Company to draw upon its
existing credit line or obtain other financing.
