              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of
    normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated
    condensed financial position at March 31, 1995 and the results of
    operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 and
    the cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.
    The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1995
    are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
    year.  The consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 1994 was
    derived from amounts included in the Annual Report to Shareholders which
    was incorporated by reference in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
    for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Item 2   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations
                             


Financial Condition

Record sales in the first quarter of 1995 resulted in an increase of $2,877,000
in receivables from December 31, 1994.  At the same time inventories increased
$689,000, primarily to support the sales growth.  This use of working capital
was funded by short-term borrowings which rose $2,051,000 since the first of
the year.  Earnings and an increase in payables provided the balance of working
capital.

As of March 31, 1995, the company had approximately $29,500,000 of credit lines
with domestic and foreign banks of which $12,488,000 was in use.  This compares
to $13,788,000 in use at March 31, 1994.  The company believes that the present
lines of credit are adequate to meet operating requirements.


Results of Operations

Net sales for the first quarter of 1995 of $27,928,000 reflect a 33.4% increase
over sales of $20,942,000 for the same period in 1994.  Both the Utility and
Industrial Divisions experienced increases.  The order backlog at March 31,
1995 is $6,600,000 above the year ago value and is up $2,700,000 over the
December 31, 1994 level.  Earnings for the quarter of $857,000 or $.49 per
share have increased 47.8% over 1994 earnings of $580,000 or $.34 per share.

The primary reason for the sales increase was a 41.1% improvement in unit
volume primarily in the Utility Division.  Sales in the first quarter of 1995
included a portion of a meter contract for Mexico City in the amount of
$1,800,000.  Sales for the Industrial Division were helped by strong sales of
valves and lubrication meters.

The gross profit margin declined from 38.6% in 1994 to 34.9% in 1995.  This
change reflects the significant increase in Utility sales that have a lower
margin than Industrial sales and increased volumes of automated meter reading
systems that have a lower margin than the company's overall margin.

The increase in marketing and administration is primarily in the area of
incentives and commissions that vary relative to sales volume.  Research and
engineering expenses were low in the first quarter of 1994.  The 1995 value is
more in line with expected expenses.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1995 was 38.0% compared to
35.4% for the year in 1994.  The impact of reduced tax credits and the increase
in certain non-deductible expenses along with improved earnings are resulting
in a higher tax rate.
