                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                October 28, 1995


Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    (a) The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the  Securities and
Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the  results of the interim
periods presented.  These financial statements do not include all disclosures
associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in
conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended January 31, 1995.

    (b) Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each
period.  Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of certain stock
options under the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share have
not been separately presented since they are not materially different.

Note 2 - INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead.  The components of
inventories were as follows:

Note 3 - ACQUISITION

    On August 1, 1994, the Company acquired Grass Instrument Co., a privately
held corporation ("Grass"), and Cannon Manufacturing Company, a privately held
corporation ("Cannon") affiliated with Grass by common ownership.  Following a
merger, the combined businesses of Grass and Cannon continue as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company under the name "Grass Instrument Co."

    On an unaudited proforma basis, assuming Grass and Cannon had been acquired
on February 1, 1994, the Company's consolidated net sales would have been
$31,699,192 for the nine months ended October 29, 1994.  The proforma effect on
net income and earnings per share is not material.

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

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

    Net sales in the current quarter decreased 4% compared to the prior year
quarter.  Sales of Grass Instrument Co., a business acquired at the beginning of
the prior year quarter (see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements), accounted for the decrease.  In the prior year quarter, sales of
this business were higher than typical for a third quarter.

    Net sales in the current nine months increased 21% compared to sales in the
prior year nine months.  Excluding sales of the new business for the first six
months of the current year, sales on a comparable basis increased 4% in the
current nine months.

    In all periods, changes in sales have been spread between all products in
all geographic market sectors.  Export sales have shown the most growth in the
current year.  The Company anticipates an overall sales increase in the last
quarter of the current year.

    Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 39% for the third
quarter of the current year and 44% for the same quarter of the prior year.  The
decline is attributable mainly to less than expected sales, with and without the
new business.  Such lower volume resulted in an unfavorable rate of overhead
absorption.

    The consolidated gross profit percentage was 40% for the nine months of the
current year and 45% for the same period of the prior year.  In addition to the
identified impact on the current quarter, the decline reflects inclusion of the
new business for the first six months of the current year but not of the prior
year.  This business historically has experienced substantially lower margins.
In keeping with the anticipated sales increase, the Company anticipates an
increase in gross profit in the fourth quarter of the current year.

    As compared to prior year totals, selling, general and administrative
expenses rose by 5% in the current quarter and, excluding the new business
acquired, by 9% in the current nine months.  There have been no individually
significant expenses affecting the totals.  The most substantial changes in the
current year resulted from increased advertising and from additional sales
personnel and their related expenses.

    There were no individual research and development costs in either the
current quarter or nine months which varied significantly from comparable
previous year totals.  The level of such costs remains high, however, reflecting
the Company's commitment to the development of new and improved products.

    Interest and dividend income, particularly for the current nine months,
decreased noticeably compared to such income in the prior year because of a
reduction in invested funds following the acquisition for cash of a new business
as mentioned above.

                                  (Continued)

Financial Condition:
- ------------------- 

    Long-term debt appearing in the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of
each respective period consists of the remainder of an industrial development
revenue bond financing used in prior years to construct facilities and make
major acquisitions of machinery and equipment.

    The Company's present cash and investment securities, together with funds
generated from operations and capital resources available to it, are expected to
satisfy requirements for working capital and other needs for the foreseeable
future.  The increased investment in inventories shown in the latest balance
sheet is in accordance with business plans.  No additional long-term financing
is planned.
