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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The company's $2.9 million cash balance at July 31, 1996 was $875,000 less than
at the beginning of the year and $1.4 million more than July 31, 1995. The
company's seasonal operations historically have reduced cash during the first
half of the fiscal year and required short-term borrowing. The combination of
strong operating cash flows and opening cash balances have allowed the company
to avoid using its short-term credit facilities during the first half of the
current fiscal year. Both inventory and accounts receivable balances were higher
than one year earlier in support of higher sales levels.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales of $31.3 million in the second quarter ended July 31, 1996 were 15 percent
higher than the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the six month
period, sales of $62.1 million were up 13 percent from the comparable period of
the prior year. Sales increases occurred in the Plastics and Electronics
business segments. Net income of $1.4 million in the second quarter was 26
percent higher than the comparable period last year. The net income for the
first half was $3.2 million; 21 percent higher than the first half of the prior
year. Stronger operating income in the Plastics segment accounted for much of
the improvement. Earnings per share increased 30 percent and 24 percent for the
three and six months periods, respectively. These percentages are higher than
the net income percentages as a result of a treasury stock purchase during the
fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Electronics segment sales of $9.1 million in the second quarter were 37 percent
higher than the prior year's second quarter. Most of the sales increase was in
contract electronics. Agricultural sales also increased despite a relatively
weak agricultural season caused by extreme weather conditions in many areas of
the United States. The profit impact of higher sales was offset by product
development costs and start-up costs related to new commercial contracts.
Operating income in the second quarter for the Electronics Electronics segment
was $445,000; down 20 percent from one year earlier. For the six month period,
sales of $21.1 million were up 26 percent and operating income of $2.2 million
was down 6 percent in this segment.

Plastics segment sales were $14.2 million in the second quarter; 15 percent
higher than the second quarter of the prior year. Sales of engineered films and
pickup-truck toppers increased over the prior year and plastic tank sales were
slightly lower. Second quarter operating income was $1.1 million; more than
double the $395,000 reported one year earlier. More favorable material pricing
and improved operations at the company's pickup-truck topper plant in Arizona
contributed to the improvement. Plastics segment sales of $28.2 million were 10
percent higher and operating income of $2.1 million was up 75 percent from the
first six months of the prior fiscal year.

Sewn products segment sales of $8.0 million and operating income of $693,000 in
the second quarter were both 4 percent below the comparable period of the prior
year. Six month sales of $12.9 million were slightly higher than the six month
period ended July 31, 1995. Improved order intake has increased backlog in this
segment by 6 percent at July 31, 1996 compared to July 31, 1995. Operating
income for the six months of $778,000 was 42 percent higher than the first six
months of the prior year due primarily to improved operating efficiencies and
higher sales earlier this year.

Consolidated gross profits were up 13 percent in the second quarter, from the
year, earlier as a result of the higher sales, partially offset by higher costs
in the Electronics segment. Second quarter selling and administrative expenses
were up 2 percent over the comparable period last year. As a result, second
quarter consolidated operating income increased by 32 percent. Lower interest
expense reflects the lower borrowing levels in the current fiscal year.
Miscellaneous income declined by $113,000 in the second quarter, compared to the
year earlier quarter due primarily to lower earnings at the company's 50 percent
owned affiliate. Consolidated pretax income was up 27 percent in the second
quarter and 21 percent for the first six months of the year.
