MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Review of operations
Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $4.6 million
compared to $4.2 million for the comparable period in 1995. The Company reported
net earnings of $146,600, or $.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $403,900,
or $.04 per share in the same period in 1995. Gross margin, as a percentage of
sales, was 25.0% in 1996 and 20.7% for the same period in 1995. The increase in
gross margin in 1996 reflects the continuing improvement in both Airo Clean and
Maris Equipment product and project margins.
First quarter 1996 Maris sales were $3.1 million compared to $2.9
million in 1995. Maris gross margins, as a percentage of sales, increased to
23.4% in the first quarter of 1996 from 18.9% in the same period in 1995. Maris'
improved margins can be attributed to better project management and controls and
the selection of new projects with better profit potential.
First quarter 1996 Airo Clean sales were $1.5 million compared to $1.3
in million in 1995. The first phase of a $2.8 million clean room project
commenced in the first quarter of 1996, and it is anticipated that this project
will be substantially completed in the second quarter 1996. Airo Clean's gross
margin as a percentage of sales increased to 28.8% in 1996 from 24.4% in the
same period in 1995. Airo Clean's improved margins in 1996 can be attributed to
more efficient manufacturing and obtaining price concessions from its vendors.
Sales and marketing expenses decreased in the first quarter 1996 by
$124,300, compared to 1995, due to cost reductions implemented at Maris and Airo
Clean. These costs, as a percentage of sales, were 8.5% in the first quarter of
1996, compared to 12.4% in same period in 1995. Sales efforts at Maris are being
concentrated in expanding the electronic security systems business to take
advantage of the Company's expertise. The sales effort at Airo Clean continues
to focus on promoting the BioShield, Ultraguard and laminar air flow products.
These are air scrubbing devices for controlling airborne contaminants and are
targeted for the health care and hospital industries.
General and administrative expenses decreased in the first quarter of
1996 by $104,500 compared to 1995, due to staff reductions and salary freezes
implemented at Maris and Airo Clean. These costs, as percentage of sales, were
10.3% in the first quarter of 1996 compared to 13.8% in the same period in 1995.
The Company continues to closely monitor and control costs and believes that
additional sales can be achieved without a proportional increase in the business
infrastructure.
Interest expense in the first quarter of 1996 was $140,000 compared to
$171,500 in the same period in 1995. The decrease in 1996 reflects the lower
average debt level compared to the same period in 1995.
The Company plans to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards to
offset taxable income. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $7.3 million that may be used in future years to offset taxable
income until the year 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In August 1995, the Company successfully negotiated an amendment to its
existing bank credit agreement which provides a $6.0 million credit line
facility through March 31, 1997. Under this facility, Safeguard Scientifics
(Delaware), Inc. has provided guarantees of $4.5 million in the form of letters
of credit through June 30, 1997. Borrowings bear interest at prime plus 1 1/4%.
The Company believes that the combination of the bank credit agreement,
Safeguard's letters of credit, and the working capital assets of the Company
will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's operating cash requirements during
1996. As of May 3, 1996 outstanding borrowings under the credit facility were
$5.1 million.
