Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of

accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do

statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of
operations of the Company for the three month period ended

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

     The Company is a Delaware corporation organized in 1986. 
The Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of
underground systems and products for the conveyance and
containment of petroleum and alcohol based motor vehicle fuels
from underground storage tanks to aboveground fuel dispensers. 
The principal end users of the Company's products are service
stations, convenience stores and other retail sellers of
gasoline, gasohol and other motor vehicle fuels, government
bodies, utilities, and other fleet vehicle operators.

Net Sales

     The Company's net sales for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996, were $9.9 million and $16.9 million, respectively,
as compared to $10.3 million and $18.4 million for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  Net sales decreased 4.2% during
the quarter and 8.3% for the first six months of 1996 as compared
to the same periods in the previous fiscal year.  The decrease
for both the quarter and the first six months was primarily
attributable to a decrease in sales of all of our products in the
United States due to a slow down in retrofitting of existing
sites caused by a combination of weather, permitting delays and
increased gasoline dispensing profit.  This decrease was
partially offset by an increase in sales in Latin and South
America, primarily Mexico, as construction has recently increased
following last year's downturn due to the devaluation of the
peso.

Gross Profit

     The primary component of the Company's cost of sales is the
product manufacturing costs paid to various third party
manufacturers.  Other components are the variable and fixed costs
of operating the Company's warehouses, depreciation of molds,
tools and equipment, warranty expense and limited assembly costs. 
The Company's gross profit (loss) for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1996, was $3.7 million and $6.2 million,
respectively, as compared to ($855,000) and $2.6 million for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  Gross profit increased 527.0%
during the quarter and 139.2% for the first six months of 1996 as
compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year.  The
increase resulted primarily from a $5 million charge to earnings
to increase the Company's warranty reserve in the second quarter
of 1995.

     The Company's gross profit (loss) percentage was 37.0% for
the quarter and 36.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as
compared to (8.3%) and 14.1% for the same periods in the previous
fiscal year.  The Company's gross profit (loss) percentage
increased primarily as a result of the aforementioned charge to
warranty expense.  This increase was offset by a decrease in
sales for the first six months of 1996, as well as an increase in
the cost of certain purchased items.

Operating Expense

     Selling, general and administrative expenses consist
primarily of salaries and related employee benefits, payroll
taxes, commissions, royalties, legal expenses and other general,
administrative and overhead costs.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996, were $2.4 million and $4.8 million, respectively,
as compared to $2.4 million and $4.9 million for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 0.7% during the quarter and
decreased 1.5% for the first six months of 1996 as compared to
the same periods in the previous fiscal year.  This increase for
the quarter was due to an increased expenditure on third party
product testing.  The decrease for the six month period was due
to a decrease in expenses for legal activities.

Interest Expense

     Interest expense for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996, was $73,000 and $125,000, respectively, as
compared to $60,000 and $90,000 for the corresponding periods in
1995.  The increase was due to the Company borrowing on a term
loan to increase its manufacturing capabilities which did not
begin until the latter part of fiscal year 1995.

Amortization of Intangibles

     Amortization of intangibles consists of the amortization of
goodwill over a period of 40 years and the amortization of
various patents and licenses that are amortized on a straight-
line basis over the estimated lives of the patents (which range
from 13 to 18 years) at the acquisition date or subsequent
issuance date.

Income Taxes

     Income tax (benefit) for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1996, was $387,000 and $419,000, respectively, as
compared to an expense (benefit) of ($1.6 million) and ($1.2
million) for the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increase was
due to the increase in the Company's income before income taxes.

Net Income

     The Company's net income (loss) for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1996, was $621,000 and $635,000,
respectively, as compared to ($2.3 million) and ($1.8 million)
for the corresponding periods in 1995.  Net income increased
127.4% during the quarter and 135.8% for the first six months of
1996 as compared to the same periods in the previous fiscal year. 
The increase for both periods is the results of the increase in
the warranty reserve in the second quarter of 1995.  This was
partially offset by a decrease in the net sales.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company had working capital of $8.0 million and $8.2
million at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. 
The decrease was due to the reduction in long term warranty
reserve, offset by the Company's net income and depreciation.

                   Part II.  Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     A federal district court jury in Los Angeles, California has
recently returned a verdict in favor of the Company.  The suit
was filed by Ameron, Inc. and Environ Products, Inc., against the
Company, Keith Osborne and several companies owned by
Mr. Osborne.  The suit claimed breach of contract, trade
defamation, unfair competition, conspiracy and violation of
various federal antitrust laws.

     The verdict, which can be appealed, determined, in effect,
that only the Company and Mr. Osborne will be legally entitled to
make, use and sell retractable double-wall, flexible underground
fuel containment systems when a patent protecting this invention
is issued to Mr. Osborne.  The Company and Mr. Osborne expect the
patent to be issued in the near future.
