              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996


(1)  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of September 30, 1996
     and December 31, 1995, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
     Income and Cash Flows for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and
     1995, in the opinion of the Company, reflect all adjustments (which,
     except as noted below, include only normal recurring adjustments)
     necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of
     operations and cash flows, as of and for the periods then ended.
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
     Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to
     S.E.C. rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the
     disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
     misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed Financial Statements
     be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the Notes,
     thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the
     year-ended December 31, 1995.

(2)  The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 1996
     and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
     for the full year.

(3)  It is the Company's policy to take an annual physical inventory, in
     conjunction with the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements.
     At times, other than year-end, it is necessary to estimate the
     breakdown of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods
     inventories.  The estimate for the period ended September 30, 1996,
     and the components of the December 31, 1995 inventories, based on the
     physical count, both primarily on a LIFO basis, were as follows:

(4)  In June 1995 the Company entered into an unsecured Line of Credit
     arrangement for short term debt with a financial institution.  Under the
     terms of this agreement the Company may borrow up to $5 million on such
     terms that the Company and financial institution may mutually agree to.
     There are no requirements for compensating balances or restrictions of any
     kind involved in this arrangement.

     There were no borrowings outstanding at September 30, 1996 and December
     31, 1995.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Net sales were $12,607,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
compared with $11,576,000 for the same period of last year.  For the first nine
months of 1996, net sales increased 4.5% to $37,569,000 from $35,968,000 for
1995. The increase was fueled by strong dealer demand both domestically and
internationally and was strong across all product lines including Parker
Sweeper Company's litter vacuums and lawn-care products, which had been
unfavorably affected by inclement weather during the first half of this year.

Gross profit increased $464,000 for the 1996 Third Quarter, as compared with
last year due to higher sales volume combined with a 5% price increase
instituted in the first quarter.  As a result of this better pricing
environment gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
increased 5.1% to $11,955,000 as compared to 1995.

Operating expenses were $2,856,000 for the Third Quarter ended September 30,
1996, as compared to $2,631,000 for the Third Quarter, 1995.  This 8.6%
increase was due to higher personnel and benefit expenses and professional
fees.  Operating expenses for the first nine months of 1996 were $8,272,000 as
compared to $8,014,000 for the same period in 1995.

Interest income was $6,000 for the Third Quarter ended 1996, and $26,000 for
the first nine months of 1996, as compared with $8,000 and $46,000
respectively, for the comparable periods of 1995.  This decrease for the
quarter is attributable to a decrease in funds available for investment.
Interest expense related to short term borrowings under the aforementioned Line
of Credit which began in June 1995 was $30,000 for the quarter and $36,000 for
the first nine months of 1995. Other income, net was $42,000 for the Third
Quarter ended 1996, and $475,000 for the first nine months of 1996 compared to
other income, net of $39,000 and $41,000 respectively, for the comparable
periods of 1995.  Included in 1996 income is the gain recognized on the sale of
the remaining portion of our former St. Paul manufacturing facility during the
First Quarter.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

Net income for the Third Quarter ended September 30, 1996 increased 19.2% to
$703,000 or 20 cents per share, up from $590,000, or 16 cents per share in the
Third Quarter, 1995.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net income
was $2,596,000 or 73 cents per share, up 20.4% from $2,157,000 or 60 cents per
share for the first nine months of 1995.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION:
The Company had working capital of $19.0 million at September 30, 1996 and
$17.1 million at December 31, 1995.  This represents a current ratio of 5.4 and
6.4 for these periods, respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments represented 7.4% and 6.2% of
this working capital at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 which, when
not in use, is invested in bank certificates of deposit, Euro dollar
certificate investments, and a managed portfolio of high quality variable rate
notes and tax-exempt seven day bonds.  This increase is due primarily to an
increase in funds available for investment.

The Company had shareholders' equity of $27.7 million at September 30, 1996 and
$26.1 million at December 31, 1995 which, when compared to total liabilities,
represented an equity to liability ratio of 6.1 and 7.7, respectively.

The Company has no debt, more than sufficient capital resources, and is in a
strong financial position to meet business and liquidity needs as they arise.
The Company foresees no unusual future events that will materially change the
aforementioned summarization.
