4.  Commitments and Contingencies

     The  Company is a  defendant  from time to time in various  civil  lawsuits
involving  normal  and  usual  claims  arising  in the  ordinary  course  of its
business.  In the opinion of management,  all such matters are either covered by
insurance  or  involve  amounts  such  that an  unfavorable  disposition  of the
proceedings  would not have a material effect on the  accompanying  consolidated
financial statements of the Company.

6.    Earnings Per Share

     At March 31, 1996,  common stock outstanding  aggregated  8,480,235 shares.
Primary  earnings  per  share  were  calculated  on the basis of  8,605,617  and
8,496,075  weighted  shares for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.  Fully diluted earnings per share are not presented as the results
would not be materially different from primary earnings per share.


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


     Three Month  Period  Ended  March 31, 1996 as Compared to the Three  Months
Ended March 31, 1995

     Net  revenues  for the three month  period  ended  March 31, 1996  totalled
$14,821,000 as compared to $12,962,000  for the same period in 1995,  reflecting
an increase  of  $1,859,000,  or 14.3%.  The  increase  was due  principally  to
revenues from significant project sales at the U.S. operations of the Company.

     Gross margin as a percentage  of revenues was 33.5% and 34.6% for the three
month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The margin decrease
was due to increased costs of raw materials and sales of products that carried a
lower margin.

     Interest  expense for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996  decreased by
$45,000 from the same period in 1995 principally due to the decreased borrowings
of the Company.

     The  effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively,  were 43.9% and 42.2%, respectively.  The principal reason for the
difference  between the statutory rate of 34% and the effective tax rate was the
effect of state income taxes and losses from operations at the Company's  French
subsidiary for which no tax benefit was applicable.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

     Cash used in  operations  was $559,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996 as compared to cash  provided  from  operations  in the same 1995 period of
$391,000.

     Working capital at March 31, 1996 was $11,165,000.  This was an increase of
$2,076,000 from December 31, 1995 and was due principally to the earnings of the
Company and an increase in  inventory  due to projects to be shipped in the next
three months.

     At March 31,  1996,  Bettis had a credit  agreement  with a bank for a term
loan facility,  a $7,000,000  revolving credit facility and a $2,000,000 foreign
exchange  facility.  The term loan had an  outstanding  balance of $6,500,000 at
March 31,  1996,  bears  interest  at the rate of 5.95% per annum and matures on
April 30,  1999.  Principal in the amount of $500,000  plus  interest is payable
quarterly.

     Each of Bettis' foreign  subsidiaries  has a credit facility with a bank in
the country in which its  principal  office is located.  At March 31, 1996,  the
aggregate  amount  of  loans  outstanding  under  these  credit  facilities  was
approximately $4,873,000.

     Capital  expenditures  for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 were
$285,000.  Bettis anticipates that capital  expenditures during the remainder of
1996  will be  approximately  $2,750,000.  The  Company  expects  to fund  these
expenditures and all working capital  requirements through funds from operations
and borrowings under its revolving lines of credit.
