</TABLE>
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995.

          Net Sales.  Net sales increased 46%, or approximately $904,000, to
approximately $2,862,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared with
the three month period ended June 30, 1995.  The increase was due primarily to
continued increased sales of Posi-Track vehicles and related accessories.  Of
this increase, approximately $854,000 was due to increased demand and the new
dealers added in second quarter 1996.  Of the Posi-Track vehicles shipped in
second quarter 1996, 42% were to new dealers added in 1996.  Additionally, the
Company occupied its new manufacturing facility in Grand Rapids, Minnesota in
May 1995, which provides approximately three times the production space of the
Company's former facility.  Sales of the Company's Track Truck vehicle in the
second quarter of 1996 decreased approximately $54,000 from second quarter 1995
and represented 1.7% and 5.2% of net sales for the three months ended June 30,
1996 and 1995, respectively.  The decrease is due to one less Track Truck being
shipped in second quarter 1996, compared with second quarter 1995.  Sales of
parts, used equipment and other items increased approximately $104,000 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1996 compared with the same period in 1995.
This increase is primarily due to a 47% increase in the sale of parts as the
number of vehicles in the field has increased and an increase in the sale of
used equipment which had been taken in on trade.

          Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased to approximately $632,000, or 22.1% of net sales, compared with
$405,000, or 20.7% of net sales,  in 1995.  The increased gross profit is
attributable to increased sales volume in 1996.  The increased gross profit
percentage is attributable to the increased space of the new manufacturing
facility allowing the Company to buy raw materials in greater quantities
resulting in lower costs.  Also, the increased number of Posi-Track vehicles
sold has resulted in greater efficiencies in the production process.

          Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 11.8% of net sales in second quarter
1995, to 10.8% of net sales in second quarter 1996.  The increased dollar amount
of expenses of approximately $78,000 was due to higher compensation costs as
sales and administrative personnel have been added to support expanded sales and
customer service roles and increased occupancy costs.  The decreased percentage
of selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the Company closely
managing its costs as sales increase.

          Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased
from approximately $12,000 in second quarter 1995 to approximately $43,000 in
1996.  The increase is due mainly to the Company having the necessary funds
available to invest in this area in 1996 from increased profitability.  The
research and development efforts have focused primarily on improvements to the
Company's existing product line.

          Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased from approximately
$9,000 for the second quarter of 1995 to approximately $12,000 for the second
quarter of 1996.  This increase is due to the capitalization of the Company's
lease for its new manufacturing facility (occupied May 1995), for which the
Company records interest expense on a monthly basis throughout the twenty-year
lease term.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     Net Income. Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was approximately
$175,000, compared with approximately $100,000 for the second quarter of 1995.
The increase in 1996 resulted primarily from additional gross profit on
increased sales, offset in part by increased operating costs.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995.

     Net Sales. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 44%,
or approximately $1,638,000, to approximately $5,344,000. The increase was due
primarily to the increased sales of the Company's Posi-Track vehicle, along with
increases in parts and other sales, offset by a slight decrease in Track Truck
sales. Posi-Track related sales increased 52% due to the increased demand and
new dealers added in 1996. Track Truck related sales decreased slightly due to
one less Track Truck being sold in 1996. Sales of parts, used equipment and
other increased approximately 37% from 1995 due primarily to a greater number of
machines in service in 1996.

     Gross Profit. Gross profit increased for the six months ended June 30, 1996
to approximately $1,195,000, or 22.4% of net sales, from $744,000, or 20.1% of
net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increased gross profit
was due to increased sales while the increased gross profit percentage was due
to the increased efficiencies obtained from the Company's new manufacturing
facility which was occupied in May 1995. Also, the increased number of Posi-
Track vehicles sold has resulted in additional efficiencies in the production
process.

     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased from 13.1% of net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 to 11.1% of net sales for the six months ended June 30,
1996. The increased dollar amount of approximately $158,000 is due to increased
sales and marketing costs and increased costs for administrative personnel hired
to support increased sales volumes. The decreased percentage of selling, general
and administrative expenses is due to the Company closely managing its costs as
sales increase.

     Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased from
approximately $22,000 in 1995 to approximately $74,000 in 1996. The increase is
due mainly to the Company having the necessary funds available to invest in this
area in 1996 from increased profitability. The research and development efforts
have focused primarily on improvements to the Company's existing product line.

     Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from approximately $12,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 to approximately $24,000 for the same period
in 1996 due to the required capitalization of the lease for the Company's new
manufacturing facility.

     Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to
approximately $328,000 from approximately $153,000 for 1995. The increase was
due to increased sales and gross profit, offset in part by increased operating
expenses and interest expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately
$4,740,000 compared with working capital of approximately $4,076,000 at June 30,
1995. Cash and marketable securities increased approximately $524,000 to
$1,121,777 at June 30, 1996. This increase is due primarily to cash generated
from profitable operations and changes in other working capital components.

     The Company believes its existing cash and marketable securities, together
with cash expected to be provided by operations, available credit lines and its
ability to secure additional debt or equity financing will satisfy the Company's
projected working capital needs and other cash requirements at least through the
end of June 1997.

     During the second quarter of 1996, the Company received an order in excess
of $3 million from one of its Posi-Track dealers. The order is for Posi-Tracks
which are to be delivered throughout 1996. Should the order be completely
filled, the Company estimates it will take approximately 30-40% of the projected
production for the remainder of 1996. In order to meet its anticipated
production levels for 1996, the Company expects it will increase the number of
employees by approximately 10-30% over the next six to twelve months. It is
anticipated nearly all the additional employees will be in the production area.
The Company believes the local work force is sufficient to hire the additional
employees. The Company also believes it can secure additional manufacturing and
office space should it be necessary or advantageous to expand its existing
facility.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     In order to maintain its competitive advantage over other manufacturers of
similar products, the Company believes it will increase the level of spending on
research and development activities. It is expected the main thrust of these
activities will be directed towards improvements of and variations on existing
products.

     The statements set forth above under 'Liquidity and Capital Resources'
which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements and involve risks
and uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company's control and,
accordingly, actual results may differ materially. Factors that might cause such
a difference include, but are not limited to, lack of market acceptance of
existing products, inability to attract new dealers for the Company's products,
unexpected delays in obtaining raw materials, the inability to secure debt or
equity financing if and when needed, unexpected additional expenses or operating
losses or the activities of competitors. Any forward-looking statements provided
from time-to-time by the Company represents only management's then-best current
estimate of future results or trends.
