Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Principal uses of cash during the first nine months of fiscal 1995 were
$948,000 by investing activities and $2,086,000 by financing activities, while
operating activities provided cash of $2,837,000. The net cash used by
investing activities was primarily for purchases of property, plant and
equipment. The net cash used by financing activities was primarily for
repayments on long-term debt and cash dividends. The net cash provided from
operations was primarily from increased earnings adjusted for depreciation and
amortization.
The Registrant's borrowing capacity at April 30, 1995, remained above its use
of outside financing. The Registrant presently has $5,647,000 available under
its $22,000,000 Revolving Credit Agreement since $453,000 was allocated to
outstanding trade letters of credit, $6,300,000 utilized to purchase
substantially all of the assets of Teal Electronics Corporation on May 8, 1995,
$7,100,000 utilized to purchase all of the stock of Condor D.C. Power Supplies,
Inc., and all of the assets of Electronica Condor de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., on
February 16, 1993, $470,000 utilized for working capital requirements and
$2,030,000 utilized on November 23, 1993, to purchase 507,361 shares of common
stock held by two former directors, Wilmer J. Thomas, Jr. and Martin Solomon.
The available credit facility is subject to commitment fees, but not
compensating balances. In addition, the Agreement contains limitations on
borrowings and their use, restricts the payment of cash dividends to $600,000
per fiscal year, requires maintenance of specified ratios, with all of which
the Registrant is in compliance, and has a maturity date of December 31, 1997.
Also, as of April 30, 1995, the Registrant had $6,513,000 available from the
cash surrender value of its life insurance policies.
During the three-month period ended April 30, 1995, the ratio of current assets
to current liabilities decreased slightly from 2.9 to 1 to 2.4 to 1, primarily
because of increased accounts payable.
Capital expenditures for the nine-month period ended April 30, 1995, amounted
to $959,000 and were primarily for purchases of manufacturing equipment. The
Registrant anticipates that future commitments for additional capital
expenditures will be funded primarily by cash generated by operations and, to
the extent necessary, the utilization of borrowings under its Revolving Credit
Agreement.

<PAGE> 7
On May 24, 1995, the Registrant's Board of Directors declared a $.03 per share
semi-annual cash dividend payable on June 14, 1995, to shareholders of record
on June 7, 1995.
The Registrant is not aware of any demands, commitments or uncertainties in the
normal course which are likely to impair its ability to generate or borrow
adequate amounts of cash to meet its future needs, which include payment of
dividends, capital expenditures and working capital requirements.
Results of Operations
SALES
Consolidated net sales for the three-month and nine-month periods ended April
30, 1995, increased 15% and 16%, respectively, as compared to the net sales
realized during the corresponding periods a year ago. An analysis of net sales
by business group for the three-month and nine-month periods of fiscal year
1995, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, is as follows.
Power and Data Quality Group-
For the three-month and nine-month periods, net sales for the power and data
quality group increased 15% and 18%, respectively, when compared to net sales
of the prior year. For the three-month and nine-month periods, sales of surge
protection and uninterruptible power supplies increased 13% and 23%,
respectively, and sales of standard and custom AC-DC power supplies increased
28% and 20%, respectively. These increases were primarily a result of
increased market share and the sales of new products. Sales of avionic
products for the three-month and nine-month periods increased 15% and 8%,
respectively, primarily as a result of demand and new products. For the
three-month and nine-month periods, sales of igniters and spark plugs increased
3% and 4%, respectively, primarily due to increased sales of industrial
products.
Specialty Products Group -
For the three-month and nine-month periods, net sales for the specialty
products group increased 8% and 4%, respectively, when compared to net sales
reported for the preceding year. Sales of automatic lubrication devices for the
three-month and nine-month periods increased 24% and 16%, respectively,
primarily due to increased market penetration. Sales of chrome plating
services for the three-month and nine-month periods decreased 16% and 5%,
respectively, primarily due to fluctuations in demand, caused, in part, by
corrugated roll customers replacing chrome with other alternative materials.
Sales of pipe fabrication products for the three- month and nine-month periods
increased 26% and 7%, respectively, primarily due to demand.
7
<PAGE> 8
COST OF SALES
Cost of sales for the three-month and nine-month periods increased 9% and 13%,
respectively, as compared to last year. This increase was primarily related to
increased volume. As a percentage of net sales, cost of sales for the
three-month and nine-month periods was 62% and 65%, respectively, as compared
to 65% and 67% for the corresponding periods a year ago. As a percentage of
net sales, this decrease was primarily a result of product mix, cost reduction
efforts, improved efficiencies and the peso devaluation in Mexico.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
For the three-month and nine-month periods, selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 31% and 24%, respectively, as compared to last year. As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three-month and nine- month periods were 29% and 28%, as compared to 26% for
both periods a year ago. The above increases resulted primarily from increased
personnel recruiting costs and selling and marketing expenses.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 2% and 6% for the three-month
and nine-month periods, respectively, as compared to last year. This decrease
was primarily related to the prior year amortization of a
covenant-not-to-compete which was fully amortized during fiscal 1994.
INTEREST
Interest income for the three-month and nine-month periods increased 167% and
21%, respectively, as compared to last year. Both increases were a result of
higher interest rates and additional funds available for investment. Interest
expense for the three- month and nine-month periods decreased 10% and increased
25%, respectively, as compared to last year. The three-month decrease was due
to one-time interest charges in the prior years' three-month period. The
nine-month increase was a result of increased interest rates on borrowed funds.
TAXES
The effective tax rate for both the three-month and nine-month periods was 37%,
as compared to 37% and 38%, respectively, a year ago.
