(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 June 30, 1997, and the
     components of the December 31, 1996 inventories, based on the physical
     count, both primarily on a LIFO basis, were as follows:

4)   In May 1997 the Company renewed an unsecured Line of Credit arrangement
     for short term debt with a financial institution that was entered into in
     June 1995.  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.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                                 JUNE 30, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Company achieved record sales for the second quarter 1997 and representing
an increase of 15.5% over the same period a year ago.  Sales were especially
strong both in North America and internationally and were aided by promotional
initiatives instituted to gain market share.  Response to our product
introductions were strong as were sales across most product lines, in
particular carpet care equipment, automatic scrubbers and chemical products.
For the first six months of 1997, record net sales increased 12.6% to
$28,097,000 from $24,962,000.

For the three months ended June 30, 1997, gross profit increased $615,000 as
compared with last year as the result of the increased sales volume.  Gross
profit for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased 11.1% to $8,930,000 as
compared to 1996.

Operating profits were up 5.2% for the Second Quarter ended June 30, 1997, as
compared to the Second Quarter, 1996.  This was a due primarily to the increase
from gross profit but was offset by the higher operating expenses. Operating
expenses for the first six months of 1997 were $6,332,000 as compared to
$5,416,000 for the same period in 1996 due to higher promotional expenses aimed
at gaining market share, increased personnel expenses and the costs associated
with our investment in establishing Multi-Clean as a separate division to
handle our entire line of chemical cleaning products.  While this investment
will hamper profits the remainder of this year chemical sales have already
begun to improve and the reorganization should improve profitability in the
years to come.

Interest income was $9,000 for the Second Quarter ended 1997, and $40,000 for
the first six months of 1997, as compared with $6,000 and $20,000,
respectively, for the comparable periods of 1996.  This increase for the
quarter  is attributable to an increase in funds available for investment.
Interest expense related to short term borrowings under the aforementioned Line
of Credit was $8,000 for the Second Quarter ended 1997.   There was no interest
expense for the First Quarter of 1997 and the first six months of 1996.  Other
income, net was $6,000 for the Second Quarter ended 1997, and $16,000 for the
first six months of 1997 compared to other income, net of $1,000 and $433,000,
respectively, for the comparable periods of 1996.  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)
                                 JUNE 30, 1997

Net income for the Second Quarter ended June 30, 1997 increased 4.6% to
$858,000 or 24 cents per share, up from $820,000, or 23 cents per share in
the Second Quarter, 1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997, net income
was $1,606,000 or 45 cents per share, down 15.2% from $1,893,000 or 53 cents
per share for the first half of 1996.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION:
The Company had working capital of $19.4 million at June 30, 1997 and $19.2
million at December 31, 1996.  This represents a current ratio of 3.6 and 7.6
for these periods, respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments represented 6.0% and 18.8%
of this working capital at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 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 decrease is due primarily to significantly
higher sales during the second quarter of 1997 causing higher receivables  and
the use of cash to replenish inventories which were lower than normal at year
end.

The Company had shareholders' equity of $28.7 million at June 30, 1997 and
$27.9 million at December 31, 1996 which, when compared to total liabilities,
represented an equity to liability ratio of 3.8 and 8.9, respectively.

The Company has 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.
