ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
        OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

New orders for the third quarter of 1996 increased 17% compared to the third
quarter of 1995. Both Timer & Switch and Photocontrols increased significantly.
The most significant increase in Timer & Switch orders for the third quarter was
in the OEM market. Customers that do not usually place orders in the third
quarter did so by issuing heavy blanket orders. Photocontrol orders were
favorably influenced by large export bookings.

The total backlog on September 30, 1996 was $3,320,000 compared to $3,808,000
for September 30, 1995 or a decrease of 13%. The contributing factor to this was
a high level of future blanket orders that were recorded in June 1995.

Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $2,005,295, an increase of 1%
compared to the third quarter of 1995.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 77% for the third
quarter of 1996 as compared to 81% for the same quarter of 1995. This decrease
was a result of: (1) Higher margin products shipped during the third quarter of
1996 compared to the same quarter in 1995; and (2) Payroll reductions.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses decreased to 20% of net sales for
the third quarter of 1996 from 21% of the net sales in the same quarter of 1995.
Lower payroll costs were the principal contributor to this decrease.

Interest expense for the third quarter in 1996 decreased compared to the same
quarter in 1995. This was due to the following: (1) A lower prime rate which
decreased borrowing costs; and (2) Lower principal balances which decreased
interest expenses.

On a consolidated basis for the quarter ending September 30, 1996, M. H. Rhodes,
Inc. had a Net Income of $20,000 as compared to a Net Loss of $86,000 for the
same quarter in 1995. As discussed above, higher margin items and payroll
reductions contributed to this improvement. For the nine month period, the year
to date Net Loss was $222,821 as compared to a Net Loss of $67,689 for the same
nine month period in 1995. The principal reasons for the increased loss were: 1)
Lower sales volume, 2) Less favorable sales mix; and 3) Non-recurring expenses
related to the phaseout of the Canadian Subsidiary.

Financial Condition as of June 30, 1996

Working capital for the third quarter of 1996 decreased $81,000 from the
December 1995 levels. This decrease was the result of a decline in inventories
resulting in reductions in the current liabilities.
