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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The company had $2.0 million of cash at October 31, 1996. This balance was
essentially unchanged from one year earlier and was $1.8 million less than the
beginning of the current fiscal year. Accounts receivable and inventory balances
were higher at October 31, 1996 than October 31, 1995 as a result of higher
sales and production volumes. Management does not expect that the company will
need to borrow against its short-term credit line during this fiscal year.
Borrowings and repayments during the fiscal year ended January 31, 1996 totaled
$4.5 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Third quarter sales of $38.9 million were 10 percent higher than the comparable
period of the prior year. Net income of $2.3 million ($.48 per share) was 17
percent higher than the $2.0 million reported in the third quarter of the prior
year. Most of the improvement in the quarter was from the company's Electronics
segment. For the nine month period, sales of $101.1 million and net income of
$5.5 million were up 12 and 19 percent, respectively, when compared to the first
nine months of the prior fiscal year. Most of the nine month sales increase was
in the Electronics segment, and all of the segments reported operating income
growth in excess of 15 percent.

Electronics segment sales were $10.7 million in the third quarter; a 56 percent
increase over the comparable period of the prior year. The continuing transition
of the company's contract electronics business from defense to commercial
contracts accounted for much of the increase. Additionally, higher demand for
flow control precision farming products increased sales. Third quarter operating
income of $1.1 million in the Electronics segment was more than double the
$511,000 reported one year earlier. The higher sales combined with stronger
gross profit rates and relatively flat expenses produced the improved operating
performance. Nine month sales of $31.8 million were 35 percent higher than the
comparable period last year in the Electronics segment. Operating income of $3.3
million increased more than 15 percent over the same period. Start-up costs
related to new commercial ventures reduced gross margin percentages in this
segment during the first six months of the current fiscal year.

Plastics segment sales of $15.2 million in the third quarter were 2 percent
lower than the third quarter of the prior year. Last year, third quarter sales
included $1.6 million of flexible films deliveries in response to the severe
hurricane season. Sales of pickup-truck toppers and plastic tanks increased over
the prior year. Operating income of $925,000 in the third quarter was 28 percent
less than the comparable period of the prior year. Lost margin in flexible films
sales accounted for most of the decline. Nine month sales of $43.3 million were
6 percent higher than the first nine months of the prior year in the Plastics
segment. Nine month operating income of $3.0 million was 21 percent higher than
the comparable period of the prior year. More favorable trends in material
prices have boosted year-to-date gross profit rates in this segment.

Sewn products segment sales were $13.1 million in the third quarter and $25.9
million for the nine month period, both within 2 percent of the comparable
figures from the prior year. Softening demand for the company's branded products
was partially offset by increased deliveries of product to catalog merchandisers
and sales of inflatable display products. Operating income of $1.6 million for
the three months and $2.4 million for the nine months was 19 and 26 percent
higher, respectively, than the comparable periods last year. The increase in
income was due primarily to sales of products with higher gross margins and
improved operating efficiencies.

Consolidated gross profits increased 10 percent in the third quarter due
primarily to higher sales in the Electronics segment. Third quarter selling and
administrative expenses increased 5 percent compared to the prior year.
Consolidated operating income rose 16 percent, to $3.6 million, as a result. The
income tax rate of 35.5 percent was unchanged from the prior year.
