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

           A.   Results of Operations
                ---------------------

          Sales for the first quarter of 1999 were $5,470,000 compared to
$5,655,000 in 1998, a 3% decrease. The Mechanical Equipment Group had total
sales of $3,128,000, which was 28% more than the prior year's $2,440,000. The
Toy Segment reflected a sales decrease of 27% to $2,342,000 from $3,215,000 in
1998.

          Gross profits for the first quarter 1999 totaled $1,877,000 compared
to $1,692,000 for the comparable period in 1998. While gross profits in the Toy
division declined between the periods, the Mechanical Equipment Group accounted
for the net increase. Gross profits as a percentage of sales increased to 34%
compared to last year's 30% because of a higher gross profit percentage earned
by the Mechanical Equipment Group.

          First quarter Toy Segment sales continue to reflect an industry
decline.  This information has been reported during the past several quarters.
Management continues to make extra efforts to review the Segment's results in
order to improve operations.  In addition, management has been diligently
looking at product mix and new designs to attempt to improve same.

          First quarter sales of the Mechanical Equipment Group reflects a surge
in sales in the TX Group due mainly to customers' needs in resolving Y2K
problems relating to their installed equipment base.  While it is too early to
tell, it is hoped that the remaining quarters will reflect positive results from
these telecommunications sales as well as an improvement in the Motor operations
market share.

          Operating income was $751,000 in the first quarter of 1999 compared to
an operating loss of $1,000  during the first quarter of 1998.  The increase in
operating income was due primarily to improvements in operations of the
Mechanical Equipment Group.

          Interest expense was $42,000, compared to $33,000 the same period last
year.

          The net income for the first quarter of 1999 was $571,000 or 22 cents
per share (basic and diluted) compared to a net income of $135,000 or 5 cents
per share (basic and diluted) in the comparable period of 1998.

B.   Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

          For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company used $202,000
from operating activities as compared to a use of $24,000  in the corresponding
period of the preceding year.  The principal reason for the increased cash flow
in 1999 is the increased net income in the 1999 period.  For the three months
ended March 31, 1999, the Company used $73,000  for investing activities,
principally for the purchase of equipment.  In the corresponding period of the
preceding year, the Company used $19,000 for investing activities, principally
for the purchase of equipment.  Cash flows used in financing activities during
the three months ended March 31, 1999 of $77,000 relate mostly to the purchase
of treasury stock.

          At March 31, 1999 the Company had working capital of approximately
$9,461,000  and a current ratio of 3.0 to 1.  In addition, as described in Notes
to Financial Statements, the Registrant's Handi-Pac subsidiary has $926,000 of
long-term debt outstanding with the SBA. During the first quarter 1998, the
Company opened a limited credit facility with a bank for two subsidiaries which
includes a $300,000  sub-limit for direct borrowings and a $150,000  sub-limit
for documentary letters of credit all secured by certain of the Company's money
market funds. The Registrant considers its working capital, as described above,
to be more than adequate to handle its current operating capital needs.
