             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
       prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
       interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
       Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission
       (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
       footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
       complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
       adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) considered necessary
       for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
       three month and six month periods ended July 31, 1997 are not necessarily
       indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
       January 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
       financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual
       report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1997.


2.     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
       No. 128 "Earnings per Share," which the Company will adopt effective for
       its fiscal 1998 year end reporting. The Company will be required to
       report basic net income per share based on weighted average common shares
       outstanding, without considering common equivalent shares, and diluted
       net income per share based on weighted average common and common
       equivalent shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share would be
       equivalent to the Company's current reporting of net income per common
       and common-equivalent share.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The company's cash balance was $2.6 million at July 31, 1997, compared to $2.9
million one year earlier. Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.1
million for the six months ended July 31, 1997, an increase of $1.3 million over
the period ended July 31, 1996. Higher earnings and collection of year-end
accounts receivable balances accounted for much of the improvement. The company
prepaid $1 million of long-term debt due in January, 1998 during the second
quarter of the current fiscal year. The company's capital resources continue to
be sufficient to fund all operating activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales were $34.1 million in the quarter ended July 31, 1997, an increase of 9
percent over the second quarter of the prior year. First half sales of $69.7
million were 12 percent higher than the comparable period of the prior fiscal
year. Most of the sales increase was in the Plastics segment. Net income of $1.6
million in the second quarter was 14 percent higher than the prior year's second
quarter and earnings per share of $.33 was up 10 percent. For the six months,
net income of $3.7 million increased 16 percent and earnings per share of $.77
increased 13 percent over the comparable period of the prior year. The increase
in the number of average shares outstanding was due primarily to the issuance of
93,701 shares of common stock in connection with the January, 1997 acquisition
of Norcore Plastics, Inc.

Plastics segment sales of $16.6 million in the second quarter were 17 percent
higher than the year earlier period. The acquisition of Norcore Plastics added
$1.8 million to sales in this segment during the quarter and $4.5 million during
the first half of the year. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, sales of
plastic and fiberglass tanks, and engineered films increased. First half sales
of $34.6 million in this segment were 23 percent higher than the first half of
the prior year. Second quarter operating income of $989,000 was 8 percent lower
than the comparable period of the prior year in the Plastics segment. The profit
impact of higher sales was offset by increased selling expenses and lower gross
profit rates. Six month operating income was $2.0 million in this segment, 4
percent less than the first six months of the prior fiscal year.

Electronics segment sales of $9.0 million in the second quarter were 1 percent
lower than the prior year. A small increase in the company's product lines in
support of precision farming was offset by delayed demand from contract
manufacturing customers. Contract manufacturing revenues are projected to
increase during the second half of the year. For the six months, sales of $21.2
million were essentially unchanged from one year earlier. Operating income of
$490,000 in the second quarter was 10 percent higher than the prior year's
comparable quarter. Improved operating efficiencies offset the impact of lower
sales. First half operating income in the Electronics segment of $2.5 million
was 12 percent higher than the first six months of the prior year.

                         PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)

Sewn Products sales of $8.4 million were 5 percent higher in the second quarter
of the current year and up 9 percent for the six month period, totaling $14.0
million. Operating income was $928,000 for the quarter and $1.2 million for the
six months, an increase of 34 percent and 59 percent, respectively, over the
comparable periods of the prior year. The first half of the year is the seasonal
low for Sewn Products deliveries, therefore the percentage increases are
reflective of the timing of deliveries. Full year projections for this segment
continue to indicate sales approximating fiscal 1997 levels.

Consolidated gross profits were up 13 percent in the second quarter and 12
percent in the first half compared to one year earlier, due to the higher sales
levels in the Plastics and Sewn Products segments and improved gross profit
rates in the Electronics and Sewn Products segments. Selling expenses increased,
from 5.4 percent of sales in the second quarter of the prior year to 5.9 percent
in the most recent quarter, to improve future growth opportunities in the
Electronics and Plastics segments. Administrative expenses were 4.8 percent of
sales in both the most recent and prior year's second quarter. On a year to date
basis, selling and administrative expenses are relatively unchanged as a
percentage of sales. Miscellaneous income increased by $99,000 in the second
quarter and $193,000 for the six months, due primarily to improved results at
the company's 50 percent owned affiliate. Consolidated income before income
taxes increased by 13 percent in the second quarter and 16 percent for the six
month period when compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year.
