4.  The earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by
    the weighted average of the outstanding shares. The weighted average of
    shares outstanding is calculated by adding the number of shares outstanding
    each day of the period and dividing by the number of days in the period.

5.  The consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June
    30, 1996 include the accounts of M. H. Rhodes, Inc. and its 96% owned
    subsidiary, M. H. Rhodes (Canada) Limited. On September 30, 1996, the
    Company ceased active business operation for the Canadian subsidiary and
    transferred its assets and liabilities to its parent company, M. H. Rhodes,
    Inc. The Company's Board of Directors dissolved the subsidiary on December
    31, 1996.

6.  The Company entered into a commercial $750,000 revolving line of credit with
    a financial institution in April, 1997. Proceeds from this new line were
    used to pay off the prior asset-based line of credit of $404,000 outstanding
    on March 31, 1997. The new commercial revolving line of credit is for an
    initial fourteen month period and is on a demand basis at a floating rate
    per annum equal to the prime rate plus two percent (2.0%).

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

Results of Operations

New orders for the second quarter of 1997 increased 38% compared to the second
quarter of 1996. The principal reason for this was an increase in the recording
of export business relating both to the Timer & Switch and Photocontrol lines.
The total backlog on June 30, 1997 was $3,810,000, compared to $3,189,000 on
June 30, 1996 or a 19% increase. The reason for this increase was the new export
business mentioned above which the majority of these orders will be shipped in
1997.

Net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $2,055,743, an increase of 7%
compared to the second quarter of 1996. The principal reason for this increase
was the development of a new product that began shipping at the end of 1996 in
the Timer & Switch line for a selected customer in the Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEM) segment.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales favorably decreased to 77% for
the second quarter of 1997 as compared to 83% for the same quarter of 1996. The
principal reasons for this were: (1) Price increases for the OEM and Distributor
products; (2) No unfavorable inventory charges were recorded as in the second
quarter of 1996; and (3) The elimination of non-profitable products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were
19% for the second quarter of 1997 as compared to 22% for the same quarter in
1996. The principal reasons for this were: (1) Elimination of Canadian expenses
as a result of the Company ceasing active business operations for the Canadian
subsidiary; and (2) Lower insurance costs.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1997 decreased compared to the same
quarter in 1996. The main reasons for this were lower principal balances on the
revolving line of credit $96,000 down and long term debt principal balances
$219,000 down.

The Net Income for the second quarter 1997 was $65,000 compared to a Net Loss of
$120,000 for the second quarter of 1996. The principal reasons for this were:
(1) Higher sales volume; (2) Elimination of unfavorable inventory adjustments;
and (3) The shutdown of the Canadian subsidiary.

Financial Condition as of June 30, 1997

Working capital for the second quarter of 1997 increased $127,000 over the
December 1996 level. This was caused by a rise in inventories which resulted in
an increase in Accounts Payable. Cash was then utilized to reduce the Accounts
Payable.
