              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

(1)  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of September 30, 2000 and
     December 31, 1999, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and
     Cash Flows for the periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, 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, 1999.

(2)  The results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30,
     2000 and 1999 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, 2000, and the components of the
     December 31, 1999 inventories, based on the physical count, both primarily
     on a LIFO basis, were as follows:

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

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Third quarter net sales in 2000, the highest amount for any third quarter in the
Company's history, increased 5.9% over the prior year period. Net sales for the
nine month period in 2000 continued at double-digit growth compared to the same
nine month period on 1999. Sales to domestic dealers continued to be robust
during the quarter, while the strength of the dollar adversely impacted sales in
Europe and Canada.

Gross profit increased $493,000 or 7.8% for the third quarter 2000 over the same
quarter in 1999 due to the higher sales volume combined with the positive
effects of our price increase earlier this year. For the nine month period in
2000 gross profit increased $2,587,000 or 14.2% over the similar period in 1999.

Operating profits for the current quarter were up 30.3% over the same quarter in
2000. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2000 were
$4,515,000 compared to $4,560,000 for the same period in 1999. The reduction in
anticipated promotional initiatives, as well as reduced professional fees,
primarily accounted for the decrease in operating expenses for the third quarter
2000 compared to the similar period in 1999.

Other income, net decreased $256,000 in the third quarter of 2000 compared to
the third quarter of 1999 primarily due to the successful settlement of patent
infringement litigation against an industry competitor in 1999.

Net income for third quarter ended September 30, 2000 increased 13.7% to
$1,304,000, or 37 cents per share, up from $1,147,000, or 32 cents per share in
the third quarter, 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 net income
was $3,480,000 or 98 cents per share, up from $2,885,000 or 81 cents per share
for the first nine months of 1999.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000


LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION:

The Company had working capital of $33.2 million at September 30, 2000 and $30.3
million at December 31, 1999. This represents a current ratio of 3.8 and 4.7 for
these periods, respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments represented 10.7% and 12.1%
of this working capital at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 which, when
not in use, is invested in bank certificates of deposit and Euro dollar
certificate investments. This decrease is due primarily to significantly higher
sales during the Third Quarter of 2000.

The Company had shareholders' equity of $35.8 million at September 30, 2000 and
$33.3 million at December 31, 1999 which, when compared to total liabilities,
represented an equity to liability ratio of 1.5 and 1.6, 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.
