statements  of cash  flows  for the six  months  ended  September  30,  1995 and
September 30, 1994. These results are not necessarily  indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.

These statements  should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
to the Securities and Exchange  Commission on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 1995.

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

Sales

Net sales increased  $232,061 (64.3%) and $479,393 (64.7%) for the three and six
months ended September 30, 1995,  respectively,  as compared to the same periods
in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in sales is primarily  attributed to the
government  segment for shipments  associated  with  contracts with the Canadian
Defense  Forces  and  the  United  States  Air  Force.  The  uncertainty  of the
commercial  segment  continues and led to a slight  decline in commercial  sales
which  offset the  increase in  government  sales.  While sales  increased,  the
stagnant  conditions  experienced in both the commercial  airline and government
segments continue.  In fiscal year 1995 the Company was awarded an open quantity
contract by the U.S. Air Force in the amount of  $1,679,265 of which firm orders
have been received in the amount of $1,436,260.  Shipments against this contract
began in the first quarter of fiscal year 1996. In July 1995, the U.S. Air Force
placed a hold on further shipments until certain design specifications have been
clarified and  incorporated.  A significant  portion of the Company's  sales for
fiscal 1996 were to be derived  from this  contract.  Fiscal year 1996 sales are
dependent upon a favorable resolution of the contract with the U.S. Air Force. A
small  contract for $183,000 has been  received from the U.S. Army and should be
shipped in the fiscal year 1996. The future growth and profitability continue to
be dependent on a turnaround of the commercial  airline  industry,  introduction
and  acceptance  of  new  products,  and  the  award  of  additional  government
contracts.

Gross Margin

Gross margin  increased  $145,394 (68.2%) and $323,716 (81.6%) for the three and
six  months  ended  September  30,  1995,  respectively,   as  compared  to  the
corresponding  periods in the prior fiscal year.  This increase is attributed to
the higher volume, sale of higher margin products, and the additional absorption
of overhead  expenses.  The gross margin percentage was 59.0% for the six months
ended September 30, 1995 as compared to 53.5% for the same period last year. The
higher  percentage  gross  margin is not  expected to  continue  once Tel starts
shipping the lower margin products for the Air Force contract.

Operating Expenses

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased $28,403 (19.6%) and
$75.472  (25.2%)  for the  three  and  six  months  ended  September  30,  1995,
respectively,  as compared to the same  periods in the prior  fiscal  year.  The
increase is attributed to an increase in selling  expenses  associated  with the
addition to staff of a Director of Marketing  and  commissions  associated  with
government sales.  Engineering,  research and development expenditures increased
$15,487  (21.1%)  and  $32,694  (22.3%)  for the same  period  due to  increased
development efforts.

The net income for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1995 was $74,064 or
$0.05 per share as  compared  to a net loss of $26,815 or $.02 per share for the
three months ended September 30, 1994.

The net income for the six months ended September 30, 1995 was $130,226 or $0.08
per share as  compared  to a net loss of  $92,655  or $.06 per share for the six
months ended September 30, 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The working capital  deficiency  decreased  $133,951 for the first six months of
fiscal year 1996 to $385,268.  The  improvement in working  capital is primarily
due to the  improvement in operations.  The Company has been able to satisfy its
cash needs as a result of the recent  improvements in operations.  The Company's
ability to continue is dependent  upon its ability to generate  sufficient  cash
flow from operations or to obtain additional financing. Since securing financing
from traditional sources is difficult,  short term liquidity must continue to be
provided by cash generated from operations.

Management's  plans to  improve  profitability  and cash  flow are based on cost
reduction measures,  continued sales efforts,  and incremental  revenues derived
from new product developments.  However, as noted above, the Company's liquidity
can be  significantly  affected  if the  contract  with  the U.S.  Air  Force is
terminated.

Management continues to evaluate various means of restructuring and/or extending
the payment terms of this redeemable preferred stock.

There was no  significant  impact  on the  Company's  operations  as a result of
inflation for the six months ended September 30, 1995.

These statements  should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report
to the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission on Form 10-K for fiscal year ending
March 31, 1995.
