THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996, AS COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
AUGUST 26, 1995. (Continued)

     Earnings before income taxes of $2,070 for the three months ended August
31, 1996 was $9,584  greater  than the loss  before  taxes of $(7,514) in the
prior year.

     Income taxes for the three months ended August 31, 1996 were $207 or 10%
of earnings  before income taxes as compared to no tax provision in the first
half of fiscal 1996.

     Net  earnings  were $1,863 or $.11 per share for the three  months ended
August 31,  1996,  as  compared to a net loss of $(7,514) or $(.47) per share
for the comparable period in the prior year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1996, AS COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 
AUGUST 26, 1996.

     Sales for the six months  ended  August 31,  1996 were  $200,328  or 77%
higher than sales of $113,045  for the  comparable  period in the prior year.
The increase in sales is  attributable  to  substantially  higher unit volume
shipments of all the  Company's  products as a result of  improving  industry
conditions.  Of the  $87,283  increase  in sales  for the six  month  period,
$56,129  was  due to  increased  seating  revenues  directly  related  to the
acquisition of Burns. Excluding the effect of the Burns acquisition, revenues
were up 28% from the comparable period in the prior year.

     At  August  31,  1996,  the  Company's  backlog  stood at  approximately
$480,000,  up from  approximately  $450,000 at February 24,  1996.  New order
bookings in the six months  ended August 31, 1996 of  approximately  $230,000
were $113,000 greater than new orders bookings of approximately  $118,000 for
the  comparable  period  in  the  prior  year.   Management   estimates  that
approximately 36% of its backlog is deliverable  during the balance of fiscal
1997.

     Gross  profit was  $66,986  or 33.4% of sales for the six  months  ended
August 31, 1996 and was $29,866  higher than gross profit for the  comparable
period in the prior year of $37,120,  which  represented  32.8% of sales. The
increase in gross profit is the result of the higher sales volume.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $24,254 or 12.1% of
sales for the six months ended August 31, 1996.  This was $7,511  higher than
selling, general and administrative expenses for the comparable period in the
prior year of $16,743, or 14.8% of sales,  principally due to the substantial
increases in revenues and the acquisition of Burns.

     Research,  development and engineering  expenses were $19,157 or 9.6% of
sales for the six months ended August 31, 1996. For the comparable  period in
the prior  year,  research  and  development  expense was $24,774 or 21.9% of
sales.  The  decrease in expense  during the current  year is the result of a
decrease in the level of activity associated with MDDS, offset somewhat by an
increase in product development activity in the Seating Products Division.

     Amortization  expense for the six months ended August 31, 1996 of $5,514
was $864 more than the amount  recorded in the first half of fiscal 1996 as a
result of the Burns acquisition.

     Net  interest  expense was $14,399 for the six months  ended  August 31,
1996, or $6,250 higher than the net interest  expense of $8,149  recorded for
the  comparable  period in the prior year,  and is due to the increase in the
Company's long-term outstanding debt as a result of the Burns acquisition.

     Earnings  before  income taxes of $3,662 for the six months ended August
31, 1996 was $20,858  more than the loss before  income taxes of $(17,196) in
the prior year.

     Income  taxes for the six months  ended August 31, 1996 were $366 or 10%
of earnings before income taxes, as compared to no tax provision in the first
half of fiscal 1996.

     Net  earnings  were  $3,296 or $.19 per share for the six  months  ended
August 31, 1996 as compared to a net loss of  $(40,528)  or $(2.52) per share
for the  comparable  period in the prior year,  which includes the cumulative
effect of the accounting change of $23,332.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     BEA's  primary  requirements  for  working  capital  have been  directly
related to its accounts  receivable and inventory  levels,  costs  associated
with the design and  development of the MDDS and other products and scheduled
interest payments on its indebtedness.  BEA's working capital was $62,282, as
of August 31, 1996, compared to $41,824 as of February 24, 1996.

     In January 1996 the Company  amended its existing  credit  facilities by
increasing the aggregate  principal amount that may be borrowed thereunder to
$100,000 (the "Bank Credit Facility"). The Bank Credit Facility consists of a
$25,000 reducing revolver and a $75,000 revolving facility. The amount of the
reducing  revolver will be reduced  automatically  by 12.5% on April 19, 1999
and on each of the seven succeeding quarterly anniversaries of such date. The
Reducing  Revolver  is  collateralized  by all of the issued and  outstanding
capital  stock of  Acurex  (a wholly  owned  subsidiary)  and has a five year
maturity, with the commitments of the lenders thereunder reducing during such
five year period,  and the revolving facility is collateralized by all of the
Company's accounts receivable,  all of its inventory and substantially all of
its other  personal  property and has a five year  maturity.  The Bank Credit
Facility contains  customary  affirmative  covenants,  negative covenants and
conditions  of  borrowing.  At August 31, 1996  indebtedness  in an aggregate
principal amount of approximately  $47,000,  plus letters of credit amounting
to approximately $6,000 were outstanding under the Bank Credit Facility.

     The  Company's  liquidity  requirements  consist  primarily  of  working
capital  needs and  scheduled  payments of interest on its  indebtedness  and
costs  associated  with   integrating   Burns.  As  a  result  of  the  Burns
acquisition,  the Company will have significantly increased cash requirements
for the payment of  interest  on its  outstanding  borrowings.  No  principal
payments  are  required  for any of the  borrowings  under  the  Bank  Credit
Facility until  February,  2001 at which time any unpaid  principal under the
Bank Credit Facility will be due and payable.

     At August 31, 1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $14,188
as  compared  to  $15,376  at  February  24,  1996.  Cash  used in  operating
activities during the six months ended August 31, 1996 was $(4,022), and cash
used in operating activities in fiscal 1996 was $(8,296).  The primary source
of cash  during the six months  ended  August 31,  1996 was net  earnings  of
$3,296 and non-cash  charges for depreciation and amortization of $11,840 and
approximately  $3,900 from issuance of common stock which was offset by a use
of  cash  of  $19,158,  principally  due  to  increases  in  receivables  and
inventories, as well as decreases in current liabilities.
