  NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  March 31, 1995


  Basis of Presentation

  The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited for the
  periods, but include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
  accruals) which management considers necessary for the fair presentation
  of results as of March 31, 1995 and for the three month periods ended
  March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994.  Moreover, these condensed financial
  statements do not purport to contain complete disclosure in conformity
  with generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in
  conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's Annual
  Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1994.

  The results reflected for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 are
  not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year to end on
  December 31, 1995.


  Subsequent Event

  On March 28, 1995 the Company declared a 3% semi-annual dividend on its $1
  Stated Value Preferred Stock. This dividend is payable to holders of
  record on March 31, 1995 and is payable on April 3, 1995. The total amount
  of such dividend was $21,857.

  Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations


    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
    statements and notes thereto included herein and the financial statements
    and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
    results of operations included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-
    KSB for the year ended December 31, 1994.  


    Results of Operations

    Three Months Ended March 31,1995 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
    1994  

    Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995, were $2,537,152,
    representing a decrease of $102,825 compared to the same period in 1994. 
    Domestic law enforcement sales increased by 22% while U.S. Government
    agency sales decreased.  In addition, International law enforcement and
    military sales increased by over 124%.  While it is quite usual for the
    mix of Domestic versus International sales to change from quarter to
    quarter, the primary cause for the increase in International sales relates
    to one large  order. The increase in Domestic law enforcement sales
    results from the Company's efforts to continue to expand its Domestic
    distribution network.  U.S. Government agency sales were negatively
    impacted by reduced sales on a multi year supply contract for a large
    government agency.  These reduced sales are due, in large part, to a
    recent change in personnel at the government agency.  The Company expects
    the U.S. Government agency sales to increase in the latter part of the
    second quarter and also in the third quarter.    
       
    Gross profit on sales for 1995 increased by $95,000 compared to the prior
    year, primarily due to a decrease in the cost of sales in the first
    quarter, compared to the prior year, of $197,976.  The gross profit margin
    (sales less manufacturing costs for materials, labor and overhead as a
    percent of total sales) increased to 37.4% for the 1995 period from 32.4%
    in 1994. This large increase in gross profit margin reflects a change in
    the mix of sales between the periods and positive manufacturing variances
    (better utilization of labor and materials).  For the full year of 1994,
    the gross profit margin was 31.8%.  

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the 1995 period were
    $707,308 (27.9% of sales) compared to $654,002 (24.8% of sales) in the
    1994 period.  The increase in actual dollar amount of selling, general and
    administrative expenses between the periods, amounted to $53,306 or 8% and
    consisted primarily of increased research and development expenses. 

    Interest expense of $59,983 for the 1995 period is almost $15,000 higher
    than the prior year period.  The increase is primarily a result of higher
    interest rates and payments related to the confirmation of the Company's
    Bankruptcy reorganization. 

  Income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 1995
  represents a deferred tax expense amounting to 39% of pre-tax income. 
  This tax rate reflects the statutory rate plus state taxes.  The Company's
  operating loss carry forward, amounting to approximately $5 million,
  results in no taxes being currently payable.  The entire amount of income
  tax expense for the period reduces the Company's deferred tax asset and
  related valuation reserve resulting in a reduction in the intangible asset
  "Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocable to Identifiable
  Assets".

  For the first quarter of 1995, pre tax income and net income amounted to
  $183,526 and $111,526 respectively compared to $156,448 and $95,448 for
  the 1994 period.  This change reflects the increase in gross profit margin
  between the periods, as discussed above, being partially offset by the
  increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in relation to
  sales and higher interest costs.

  Financial Condition

  The Company's backlog of open orders amounted to approximately $1,304,000
  at May 5, 1995 compared to $1,205,000 at December 31, 1994 and $2,450,000
  at May 6, 1994. Management believes that a backlog of approximately four
  weeks production provides reasonable production scheduling without causing
  unacceptable delivery delays for customers.
   
  As of March 31, 1995, the interest rate on the outstanding loans was the
  Banks Reference Rate plus 2.0% (11%).  The Financing Agreement expires on
  June 30, 1996.  As of March 31, 1995, the Company was indebted to LaSalle
  Business Credit, Inc. ("LaSalle") in the aggregate amount of $1,287,351,
  and had additional availability from which to borrow in the amount of
  $343,097 compared to $1,668,061 and $295,377 respectively, at December 31,
  1994. As collateral for this loan, LaSalle holds a security interest in
  virtually all of the assets of the Company.

  As of March 31, 1995 the Company had working capital of $199,426 which
  reflects continued improvement from the December 31, 1994 working capital
  amounts of $40,332. This improvement reflects the Company's continued
  profitability and the impact of regaining vendor credit for material
  purchases.

  The Company anticipates that continuing profitable operations and
  utilization of its line of credit borrowing capacity and vendor credit
  will enable the Company to meet its liquidity and working capital
  requirements during the next year. Such requirements include generating
  sufficient cash to make payments required under the Plan of Reorganization
  and to pay dividends on and meet the intended redemption schedule on the
  outstanding Preferred Stock.
