7.       The benefit for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 1998
         is 14.6% of the loss before taxes. The determination of the benefit or
         provision for income taxes considers certain permanent differences
         between taxable income or loss and income or loss as reported using
         generally accepted accounting methods. Those differences sometimes
         cause distortions in the relationships between income or loss before
         income taxes and the benefit or provision for income taxes. For the six
         month period ended December 31, 1997 the effective rate for income
         taxes was 37.9%.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
                      OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1998 resulted in a net
loss of $238,084 which is a $0.21 loss per share-diluted. For the second quarter
last year, net income was $3,201,820, which was $2.80 per share-diluted. Total
operating revenues for this year's second quarter were 25% below the revenues
for the same quarter last year. Waste Material Recycling segment revenues in the
current quarter dropped 27% from last year's second quarter revenues. The
segment's reduced revenues were a result of unit selling prices falling 27% from
the year earlier average price level. Selling prices of Dried Bakery Product
closely track corn prices as they are competitive feed commodities. Cash corn
prices during the quarter ending December 1998 averaged 76% of year earlier
prices. Vocational School Group revenues for the quarter were 2% above revenues
for the same quarter last year. Operating costs for the Waste Material Recycling
segment dropped 7% compared to the same quarter last year. Vocational School
Group operating costs were 2% higher in the current quarter than in the
comparable quarter last year. The dramatic selling price drop for the Waste
Material Recycling segment production, accompanied by costs that were reduced
but not to the same extent as the drop in sales prices, resulted in an operating
loss for the segment. Vocational School operations for the quarter were
profitable. For the comparable quarter last year, operations in both the Waste
Material Recycling segment and the Vocational School Group segment were
profitable.

Investment and other income for the quarter ended December 31, 1998 is $607,809
compared to $4,584,245 for the same three months last year. Investment income
for the current quarter is comprised primarily of interest income. The year
earlier quarter included gains of $4,128,161 from sales of investments.

For the six months ended December 31, 1998, the Company incurred a net loss of
$233,432 or $0.21 loss per share-diluted. For the comparable six months in the
prior year, net income was $3,616,635 or $3.12 per share-diluted. Revenues for
the six months ended December 31, 1998 were 23% less than revenues for the
comparable six months last year. The reduced revenue in the current six month
period is a result of lower product prices realized in the Waste Material
Recycling segment in this year's six month period compared to prices that
prevailed for the six month period last year. Corn prices have been lower during
the current six month period than the prices during the comparable period last
year. As a consequence, the Company's Dried Bakery Product has sold at lower
prices in the current period compared to the comparable six months last year.
The Waste Material Recycling segment incurred an operating loss in the six month
period ended December 31, 1998 compared to achieving profits in the prior
year's six month period. The Vocational School Group segment operated profitably
during the current and the previous year's six months periods ending December
31.

Investment and other income for the six months ended December 31, 1998 is
$1,292,171. It was $5,014,112 for the comparable six months last year. The
investment income for the earlier period included gains on investments sold of
$4,128,161.

                                   (CONTINUED)


Effective July 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Changes in
unrealized gains or losses on investments available for sale are included as
other comprehensive income and when combined with net income, results in
comprehensive income. During the six months ended December 31, 1998, unrealized
holding gains, net of income taxes, decreased from $9,380,022 to $7,215,348
(loss of $2,164,674). This other comprehensive income (loss), together with the
net loss for the period of $233,432 resulted in comprehensive income (loss) for
the six months of $2,398,106. Comprehensive income for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 was $16,272,459.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Working Capital was $41,773,835 at December 31, 1998. It was $43,629,516 at June
30, 1998. The working capital ratio at December 31, 1998 was 11.1 and was 13.1
at June 30, 1998.

At December 31, 1998, investments include $10,840,348 in unrealized gains based
on fair values that exceed adjusted costs for certain securities. Nearly all of
this unrealized gain is represented by the Company's holdings in OSI Systems,
Inc. The Company, as a result of its investment in OSI Systems, Inc. in 1990, is
OSI's largest single shareholder although not a controlling shareholder.
Shareowners' equity reflects $7,215,348 net unrealized gain on investments after
a provision for deferred taxes. The unrealized holding gains are excluded from
earnings.


TAXES

The benefit for income tax credits for the six month period ended December 31,
1998 is $40,000. For the first six months of the prior fiscal year, the income
tax provision was $2,205,000 and the effective tax rate was 37.9%.


YEAR 2000

The Company has undertaken a review of its computer systems and computer
applications to identify those which could be affected by "Year 2000" problems.
Based on the review and associated testing, the Company believes that its
financial data and reporting systems are "Year 2000" ready. The Company also
believes its operating systems will not have serious concerns in this regard and
are capable of operating in alternative modes that could circumvent "Year 2000"
problems. The Company is continuing to review and test its systems and to
monitor vendors and service providers to determine what impact may result from
the "Year 2000" issue and if action or additional planning is needed. Risks
exist that could severely effect the Company's ongoing business should serious
failures or interruptions occur in services from utilities, banks, government
agencies, government Student Aid funding programs, securities markets or others.
Expenses incurred to date to correct "Year 2000" problems have not been material
and it is anticipated that no significant additional costs will be incurred with
regard to "Year 2000" issues.

On October 27, 1998 the Company's board of directors declared a regular dividend
of $1.00 per share payable on January 5, 1999 to shareowners of record at
November 30, 1998.

On February 9, 1999, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Scope
Products, Inc., agreed to purchase the bakery waste recycling business of
Darling International Inc. The business, known as International Processing

Indiana, Kansas, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas which process waste
bakery materials into animal feed. Darling International Inc., whose stock is
traded on the American Stock Exchange, (symbol DAR), is a recycler of animal

International Processing Corporation and its affiliate International
