The long-term investment is considered an "Available-for-sale security". As
required under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, all
unrealized gains and losses, net of tax benefits, are included in Accumulated
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and reported as a separate component of Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Stockholders' Equity until realized. The
cumulative translation adjustment consists of unrealized gains/losses from
translation adjustments on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are
of a long-term investment nature.

expenses. In computing income from operations, all overhead expenses have been
allocated to both industry segments, as they are an integral part of profit
recognition for each segment. Identifiable assets by segment of business are
those assets used in the Company's operations in each segment. There are no
unallocated Company assets.

NOTE 5:           NOTES RECEIVABLE - EMPLOYEES:

During the third quarter of fiscal 2000, a note receivable agreement with an
officer/employee was mutually terminated under a written agreement between the
officer/employee and the Company. The note was secured by outstanding common
stock of the Company that had been issued upon exercise of stock options. In
return for cancellation of the note, the officer/employee surrendered the shares
that secured the note. The shares were subsequently cancelled.

                         THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2000

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS:

The following information contains certain forward-looking statements that
anticipate future trends or events. These statements are based on certain
assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks
including but not limited to the uncertainties of the Company's new product
introductions and the risks of increased competition and technological change in
the Company's industry. Accordingly, actual results may differ, possibly
materially, from the predictions contained herein.

Company operations improved during the third quarter of fiscal 2000, ended
February 29, 2000, as sales increased over the first and second quarters of
fiscal 2000 and were at the highest level since the second quarter of fiscal
1998. In addition, the net earnings were the best since the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 and this was the third consecutive quarter with profitable
operations. In comparison to the same period last year, Balancer product sales
have grown in both the United States and Europe. Sales of Schmitt Measurement
Systems, Inc. ("SMS") products were at expected levels for the quarter and up
significantly from both the prior quarter and same period last year. The overall
result was net income of $261,477 for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 and net
income for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 of $493,803.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1999:

Sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased to $2,542,962 versus
$1,767,427 in the same period last year. This increase occurred in both business
segments. SMS sales totaled $685,382 in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
compared to $65,996 in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The Company expects
continued improvement in Measurement sales in future fiscal quarters as new
products are introduced, the computer industry continues to rebound and sales of
higher end research products continue to be realized. Worldwide sales of
Balancer products were $1,857,580 for the three-months ended February 29, 1999
compared to $1,701,431 for the same period last year. Both domestic and European
market sales were higher, trends that are expected to continue in future months.

Third quarter cost-of-sales decreased to 42% of sales versus 44% in the same
period last year. Cost-of-sales of SMS products was 23% for the third quarter
2000 versus 49% in the same period last year and the cost of sales percentage of
Balancer products was 49% compared to 43% for the same period last year.
Management expects cost-of-sales of Balancer and Measurement products to
approximate these levels for the remainder of fiscal 2000.

Third quarter general, administrative and R&D expenses totaled $1,074,400 versus
$974,614 for the same period last year. As a percentage of revenues, operating
expenses (including R&D) during the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were 42%
compared to 55% for the same period last year. Both general, administrative and
sales plus research and development expenses declined as a percentage of
revenues when compared to year ago levels. Management estimates if revenue
projections are reached, these costs will stabilize at approximately 45% for
fiscal 2000.

Sales by the foreign subsidiaries totaled $607,673 for the quarter versus
$545,522 for the same quarter last year. The market softness experienced during
the first six months of the current fiscal year improved in the most recent
quarter, with sales exceeding year ago levels in the European markets.

In the three-month period ended February 29, 2000, pretax income amounted to
$398,477 compared to pretax income of $5,344 for the same period last year.
Taxes were accrued at approximately 34% of domestic pretax income, consistent
with management's expectation of the fiscal 2000 tax rate. Three-month net
income was $261,477 compared to net income of $16,844 for the same period last
year. Three-month earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $.03 and $.00 for
the three months ended February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999 respectively.

NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2000 AND FEBRUARY 28, 1999:

Sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 increased to $6,899,102 versus
$5,913,751 in the same period last year. The majority of this increase occurred
in the Measurement segment of the business. SMS sales totaled $1,358,959 in the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to $435,140 for the same period in
fiscal 1999. The Company expects


                                     Page 8

<PAGE>

continued improvement in Measurement sales throughout fiscal 2000 as the
computer industry continues to rebound and sales of higher end research products
continue to be realized. Worldwide sales of Balancer products were $5,540,143
for the nine-months ended February 29, 2000 compared to $5,478,611 for the same
period last year. Domestic sales of Balancer products were higher while sales of
those products into the European markets declined slightly. The upward trend in
sales in the United States is expected to continue while the decline in Europe
is believed to have reversed. Revenues in the European markets improved from
results in the first six months of fiscal 2000 and are expected to improve over
the remainder of the fiscal year.

Cost-of-sales for the period decreased to 45% of sales versus 50% in the same
period last year. Cost-of-sales of SMS products was 30% for the nine-months
ended February 29, 1999 versus 55% in the same period last year and the cost of
sales percentage of Balancer products was 48% compared to 50% for the same
period last year. Management expects cost-of-sales of Balancer and Measurement
products to approximate these levels for the remainder of fiscal 2000.

Operating expenses for the nine months ended February 29, 2000 totaled
$3,178,688 versus $3,159,878 for the same period last year. As a percentage of
revenues, operating expenses (including R&D) during the third quarter of fiscal
2000 were 46% compared to 53% for the same period last year. Both general,
administrative and sales plus research and development expenses declined as a
percentage of revenues compared to year ago levels. Management estimates if
revenue projections are reached these costs will stabilize at approximately 45%
for fiscal 2000.

Sales by the foreign subsidiaries totaled $1,631,894 for the nine-month period
versus $2,018,539 for the same period last year. There was some softness in the
European markets for Balancer products during the first six months of fiscal
2000, but this has reversed in the three months ended February 29, 2000. Sales
for the remainder of the fiscal year are expected to approximate year ago
levels.

In the nine-month period ended February 29, 2000, pretax earnings amounted to
$686,803 compared to a pretax loss of ($150,232) for the same period last year.
Taxes were accrued at approximately 28% of domestic pretax income, consistent
with management's expectation of a fiscal 2000-tax rate. Nine-month net earnings
were $493,803 compared to a net loss of $(150,232) for the same period last
year. Nine-month earnings per share, basic and diluted, were $.06 versus a net
loss per share, basic and diluted, of $(0.02) last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company's working capital position improved to $6,463,085 at February 29,
2000 compared to $5,812,075 at May 31, 1999. Cash stood at $908,588 at February
29, 2000 compared to $268,888 at May 31, 1999.

During the nine-month period ended February 29, 2000, net cash provided by
operating activities totaled $809,388, including net operating income of
$493,803. Included in cash flow from operating activities were a $469,359
increase in accounts receivable, a $195,962 decrease in inventories and a
$189,543 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. The increase in the
Company's accounts receivable was due to the sales mix in the weeks preceding
February 29, 2000, compared the mix in the weeks preceding May 31, 1999. As a
result of its high-quality customer base, the Company has experienced nearly
100% collection and no reserve for uncollectable accounts, returns or allowances
has been established. Inventories decreased as part of a management plan to
reduce the overall level of inventories at all companies.

During the nine-month period ended February 29, 2000, net cash used by investing
activities was $94,662 (consisting primarily of net additions to property and
equipment). There was no cash used by financing activities.

Management believes that cash from operations, available credit resources and
its working capital position will provide adequate funds on a short-term basis
to cover currently foreseeable payments, commitments and payments under existing
and anticipated supplier agreements. Management believes that such cash flow is
also sufficient to finance current short-term operations, projected capital
expenditures, anticipated short-term sales agreements and other contingencies
during at least the next twelve months.

                                     Page 9

<PAGE>

Management is currently reviewing long-range capital requirements as they relate
to expansion of products and markets. This analysis may or may not result in
future decisions to seek additional funding for the Company via debt or equity
to service the Company's future growth requirements.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE:

During the quarter ended February 29, 2000, the Company completed its planned
Year 2000 compliance activities with respect to products, internal systems,
software, equipment and facilities. To date, the Company has not encountered any
material Year 2000 problems with respect to any products, internal systems,
software, equipment and facilities nor has it encountered any vendor supply
disruptions related to Year 2000 problems.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK:

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of February
29, 2000. However, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk. The Company
employs established policies and procedures to manage its exposure to changes in
the market risk of its marketable securities.

The Company's interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the
general level of U.S. and European interest rates. In this regard, changes in
U.S. and European interest rates affect the interest earned on the Company's
cash equivalents as well as interest paid on debt.

The Company has a line of credit whose interest rate is based on various
published prime rates that may fluctuate over time based on economic changes in
the environment. The Company is subject to interest rate risk and could be
subject to increased interest payments if market interest rates fluctuate. The
Company does not expect any change in the interest rates to have a material
adverse effect on the Company's results from operations.

FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK

The Company operates subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Germany. The
Company's business and financial condition is, therefore, sensitive to currency
exchange rates or any other restrictions imposed on their currencies. To date,
the foreign currency exchange rates have not significantly impacted the
Company's profitability.
