                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES:

The provision for income taxes represents minimum state corporate taxes
currently due.

The net operating loss incurred in 1994 created an uncertainty as to whether the
Company will be able to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and realize
its deferred tax asset. Accordingly, management elected to record a valuation
allowance for the entire amount of its deferred tax asset. At December 31,1996,
the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $860,000 for
federal income tax purposes.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the Company's financial position and results of
operations during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 to
1996

     Sales decreased from $4,501,807 in 1996 to $3,149,308 in 1997. This
     decrease is due primarily to reduced sales volume to the United States
     Postal Service.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased from 78.5% in 1996 to
     93.49% in 1997. This increase is primarily due to increased end of program
     costs on contracts with the United States Postal Service and expensed
     start-up costs on new contracts.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, decreased from $727,416 in
     1996 to $635,905 in 1997 which is primarily due to lower volume and cost
     cutting measures implemented by management.

     As a result of all the factors discussed above, income from operations
     decreased from $224,938 in 1996 to loss from operations of $427,699 in
     1997.

     Interest expense decreased from $79,256 in 1996 to $53,857 in 1997. This
     decrease is due to the corresponding debt being reduced.

     During 1996, the Company recorded a gain of $221,126 as a result of
     insurance claims related to the 1996 fire at it's Blakely facility.
     
     As a result of all factors discussed above, net income decreased from
     $366,808 in 1996 to a net loss of $481,556 in 1997.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
to 1996

     Sales decreased from $1,255,346 in 1996 to $880,641 in 1997. This decrease
     is due primarily to reduced sales volume to the United States Postal
     Service.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased from 76.8% in 1996 to
     81.6% in 1997. This increase is primarily due to increased end of program
     costs on contracts with the United States Postal Service and expensed
     start-up costs on new contracts.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, decreased from $168,879 in
     1996 to $165,059 which is not a material change.

     As a result of all the factors discussed above, income from operations
     decreased from $121,836 in 1996 to loss from operations of $22,036 in 1997.

     Interest expense increased from $19,014 in 1996 to $19,216 in 1997 which is
     not a material change.

     During 1996, the Company recorded a gain of $221,126 as a result of
     insurance claims related to the 1996 fire at it's Blakely facility.     

     As a result of all factors discussed above, net income decreased from
     $323,948 in 1996 to a net loss of $22,036 in 1997.

Backlog

     As of November 12, 1997, the Company had a sales backlog of approximately
     $2,072,413. Scheduled shipments of this backlog are approximately $548,857
     in 1997 and $1,523,556 in 1998. The backlog does not reflect anticipated
     orders from certain repeat customers.

     Management is aggressively pursuing efforts to diversify the Company's
     product line and attract new customers, along with expanding services
     within its current base.

     Future sales beyond the shipments of items in the Company's backlog cannot
     be predicted.

     All of the orders in the Company's backlog are subject to cancellation. In
     certain cases the Company may be entitled to some compensation in the event
     of cancellation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Operating activities provided cash of $90,909 in 1997 and $314,466 in 1996.
     In addition, the Company used cash of $174,676 in 1997 and $31,591 in 1996
     to acquire property and equipment, borrowed an aggregate of $189,566
     against it's line of credit and equipment line in 1997 and repaid long-term
     debt and capital lease obligations of $141,053 in 1997 and $278,775 in
     1996.

     The Company had a working capital deficit of $277,685 at September 30, 1997
     and surplus of $354,221 at December 31, 1996. The ratio of current assets
     to current liabilities was .73 to 1.00 at September 30, 1997 and 1.26 to
     1.00 at December 31, 1996.

     Management believes that the Company has sufficient liquidity, borrowing
     capacity and other capital resources to meet its planned needs for the next
     year.



Inflation

     The Company does not believe that inflation would have a significant effect
     on its operations because the Company factors in potential escalation's in
     the costs of material, labor and overhead when preparing its bids for
     contract awards and when pricing its products.
