               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1998
                                        
GENERAL
- -------

Results of Operations - Third Quarter Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

For the third quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company had a net loss of
$338,000 compared to a net loss of $70,000 for the same quarter last year.  Net
loss per share was $.049 for 1998 compared to a net loss per share of $.010 for
the same period last year.

Sales for the third quarter ended December 31, 1998 were $7,572,000, compared to
$7,737,000 for the same period last year.  Though sales decreased only 2.1%,
gross profit decreased 46.3% compared to the same quarter last year primarily as
a result of increased completion costs for certain MCII contracts and lower
contribution from marine electrical hardware products.

Operating expenses decreased 20.8% for 1998 compared to the same period last
year, which included nonrecurring expenses related to MCII operations.

A breakdown of sales by the Company's major product groups follows:

Mobile power systems sales for the third quarter of 1998 were $2,915,000, an
increase of 87.6% over last year.  The sales increase was mainly a result of
shipments under the Air Force MEP-12 contract.

Sales of marine electrical hardware products for 1998 were $1,669,000, a 41.2%
decrease compared to last year.  Lower shipments of symbol items and titanium
products accounted for most of the comparative decrease in sales.

Sales revenues of electrical switchgear for 1998 were $1,283,000, a 19.7%
increase over the same quarter last year, and primarily a result of increased
shipments of panelboards and electronics products.

Sales revenues for engineered automation and control systems for 1998 were
$1,705,000, a 24.9% decrease compared to the same quarter last year.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
- --------------------------------------------

For the nine months ended December 31, 1998, the Company had a net loss of
$818,000, compared to net income of $74,000 for the same period last year, which
included a pretax gain of $797,000 from the sale of a subsidiary.  Net loss per
share was $.119 for 1998 compared to net earnings of $.011 per share for the
prior year.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
Sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 were $23,795,000, a 7.0%
increase compared to the previous year.  Sales of mobile power systems accounted
for all of the increase for the period, while sales revenues from marine
hardware and electrical switchgear products, as well as engineered automation
and control systems, were lower than the same period last year.  Also, the
previous year included RoxCorp sales.

Gross profit for 1998, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 12.0% compared to
20.8% for the same period last year.  A major factor in this decrease was  the
significant completion costs incurred in the second quarter to meet the critical
delivery date of the preproduction phase of the MCII TQG development contract.
Also in comparison with last year, that period's gross profit included RoxCorp
which had high-gross margins.

The Company incurred an operating loss of $901,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1998 compared to an operating loss of $360,000 for the same period
last year.  Operating expenses for the current period decreased 24.6% compared
to last year which included RoxCorp operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 resulted in net
cash provided of $37,000.  During this period, the net loss used cash of
$818,000, with major operating adjustments and sources being depreciation of
$642,000 and amortization of goodwill of $356,000.  Additional sources of cash
were decreases in accounts receivable of $58,000, costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings of $1,577,000, inventories of $116,000, long-term accounts
receivable, retainage of $150,000, and income taxes payable/receivable of
$119,000.  Major uses of cash in operating activities were decreases in accounts
payable of $1,332,000, accrued liabilities of $559,000, and billings in excess
of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts of $362,000.

A major factor in the substantial decrease in both costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings, and billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts was the completion of the first article test units under
the TQG development contract, which provided cash to pay down accounts payable
and accrued liabilities.

On December 30, 1998, the Company renewed and restructured its NationsBank
credit facility.  The revolving credit line, which matures June 5, 1999, was
increased $500,000 to $4,500,000 and is based upon acceptable receivables and
inventories.  The Company has a term note  of $2,500,000 with monthly payments
of principal and interest, and a balloon payment of all remaining unpaid
principal and interest due November 5, 2000.  At December 31, 1998, the Company
had $500,000 available under its revolving line of credit.

The Company anticipates receipt of the production order phase of the TQG
contract following product testing currently being conducted.  The production
and inventory buildup connected with this contract will require a substantial
increase in short-term working capital requirements.  The Company is currently
in discussions with its lender concerning potential funding and expects that
bank financing will be available.

On January 29, 1999 the Company's subsidiary Peter Gray Corporation completed an
agreement to terminate its existing real property lease and the secured note
payable due November 1, 2001, to its landlord in exchange for a cash payment of
$167,500 by Peter Gray and provision to vacate the premises in 90 days.  As a
result of this transaction, the Company will record a reduction in long-term
debt of approximately $570,000, accrued rent of $235,000, and a write off of
leasehold improvements of $370,000.  The Company is currently in discussions
concerning the potential sale of the remaining operating assets of Peter Gray.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

As a result of both internal and external review processes, the Company has
implemented new accounting, engineering, and information system software which
has been represented by the manufacturers to be Year 2000 compliant.  The
Company has also acquired hardware items including additional workstations and
periphery equipment to facilitate the implementation of the new software
processing systems.  The new information software system has been installed and
the Company is completing employee training as of this date.  Implementation of
the system is expected to be complete by April 30, 1999.  The Company's new
software processing system has thus far been installed at the Company, and its
subsidiaries, NMP Corp. and MC II in Dallas.  TANO Corp. utilizes its own
information, accounting and processing software which is already believed to be
Year 2000 compliant.

The Company and its subsidiaries have conducted Year 2000 Compliance surveys and
inquiries with substantially all of their vendors, suppliers, and professional
and service organizations, consisting of approximately 1500 entities. The
Company has received a return rate of approximately 95% of NMP's vendor survey
letters and 85% of MC II's vendor survey letters.  Approximately 90% of the
surveys indicate general Y2K compliance.  Those survey letters indicating a lack
of current Y2K compliance have provided the Company with a time line in which
these entities believe they will be Y2K compliant.  The Company is following up
with vendors and suppliers that have not yet returned Y2K compliant surveys and
does not believe that any such entities provide services or supplies which are
critical to the Company's production, manufacturing, and distribution functions.

To date, the Company has incurred software implementation costs of approximately
$120,000.  Costs of labor, and personnel time for purposes of the Year 2000
Compliance reviews, training, and implementation have not been determined as of
this date.  However, the Company believes that its original estimates contained
in prior reports of approximately $250,000 will not be exceeded.  The Company
will update this estimate as additional information becomes available.  The cost
of the Company's Year 2000 project, and the completion dates, are based on
Management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events, including the continued availability of certain resources,
third party Year 2000 Compliance modification plans and other factors.  There
can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results
could differ materially from these estimates.

The Company is endeavoring to achieve Year 2000 Readiness by the end of June,
1999 so that cooperative validation testing can be conducted with selected
vendors, suppliers, and customers. The Company is relying, in part, on survey
representation of approximately 1500 business 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
organizations as well as defense related customers to whom the Company sells its
products. The Company does not have control over these third parties and, as a
result, cannot currently estimate to what extent future operating results may be
adversely affected by the failure of these third parties to successfully address
their Year 2000 issues.

Statements included in this Form 10-Q constitute "year 2000 readiness
disclosures" subject to the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act
of 1998.
