                                 May 31, 1997


NOTE A: The  attached  summarized  financial  information  does not  include all
disclosures  required to be included in a complete set of  financial  statements
prepared in conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  Such
disclosures  were  included  with the  financial  statements  of the  Company at

be read in conjunction with the data herein.


NOTE B: The financial information reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion

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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

      The  Company's  sales  increased  $10,106 to $761,743 for the three months
ended May 31, 1997 as compared to $751,637  for the three  months  ended May 31,
1996. The increase was a result of increased sales of the SonoFlux product line.
Sales of these  products  increased  approximately  $113,000  while sales of the
Company's Nozzle Systems decreased  approximately $103,000. The Company believes
the  increase  in sales of the  SonoFlux  System is a result of its  efforts  to
provide the circuit board assembly industry with equipment that has a reputation
for reliable and cost-effective performance. Due to the nature of the market for
Nozzle  Systems,  it is not uncommon for the Company to  experience  significant
fluctuations in sales from quarter to quarter.

       The Company's gross profit  increased  $6,062 from $372,024 for the three
months  ended May 31, 1996 to $378,086  for the three months ended May 31, 1997.
The increase was a result of a decrease in the raw materials  portion of cost of
goods sold. Raw materials consumed were higher during the three months ended May
31, 1996 as a result of the disposal of obsolete stock  associated  with earlier
models of the SonoFlux System and higher materials cost associated with the sale
of a custom Nozzle System that required several unique components.

      Marketing and selling costs increased  $13,677 from $159,174 for the three
months  ended May 31, 1996 to $172,851  for the three months ended May 31, 1997.
The  increase  was  primarily  a result of an increase  in  commissions  paid to
outside sales  representatives.  Such  commissions are paid on sales of SonoFlux
units and related equipment which, as noted above, increased  significantly over
the prior year.

      General and  administrative  costs  increased  $6,374 from $87,795 for the
three  months  ended May 31, 1996 to $94,169 for the three  months ended May 31,
1997. During the three months ended May 31, 1996 the Company realized an expense
reduction of approximately  $4,000 as a result of a customer order  cancellation
charge. In addition,  compensation costs increased  approximately  $2,000 during
the three months ended May 31, 1997.

Interest  expense  decreased  $3,239 from $16,319 for the three months ended May
31, 1996 to $13,080 for the three  months  ended May 31,  1997.  The decrease in
interest  expense  is  primarily  a result  of the  increasing  maturity  of the
Company's  loan with its bank.  As such loan  matures,  the amount of each fixed
monthly  payment which  pertains to interest  declines as the amount  applied to
principal increases.

      For the three  months ended May 31, 1997,  the Company  earned  $10,718 or
$.00 per share as  compared  to  earnings  of  $21,157 or $.01 per share for the
three months ended May 31, 1996. The decrease in earnings was primarily a result
of higher commissions and administrative costs.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      The Company's  working  capital  increased  $62,688 to $482,442 at May 31,
1997 as  compared to working  capital of  $419,754 at February  28, 1997 and the
stockholders'  position  improved  $78,505 from a deficit of $41,278 on February
28,  1997 to an equity  position  of $37,227 on May 31,  1997.  The  increase in
working  capital  and equity was a result of  restructured  debt and  profitable
operations.  On April 30, 1997 the Company reached an agreement with the holders
of $530,000 of  Subordinated  Convertible  Notes  whereby  they agreed to, among
other things,  accept  shares of the  Company's  Common Stock as payment for the
total  amount of interest due as of February 28, 1997 and extend the term of the
Notes until August 2000.

      The  improvement in working capital has allowed the Company to make steady
progress in its efforts to reduce outstanding debt. The Company has improved its
position with many of its trade  vendors,  however,  payments  remain in arrears
with many others.

      Although  there can be no  assurances,  management  believes  that working
capital  generated by  continuing  operations  will be sufficient to support the
Company's  working capital needs for the next twelve months based on anticipated
sales levels.
