                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                    For Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995

Sales and Earnings

          Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 were $6,549,057
compared to $5,790,432 for the same period a year ago.  This increase of
$758,625 is primarily attributable to an increase in sales of the Company's
multifunction bus lighting module, which is the result of the Company obtaining
a larger market share.

          During the third quarter of 1995, the Company realized a net profit
of $312,340 on sales of $6,549,057.  For the same period of the prior year, the
Company reported net losses of $85,457 on sales of $5,790,432.  This increase
in profit is due to higher sales volume being achieved and an improved product
mix of sales.  This improved mix is primarily the result of dropping the molded
composite line and increasing sales of products with higher margins.
Profit/(loss) per share for the third quarter was $.11 and ($.03) for 1995 and
1994, respectively.  Profit/(loss) per share was computed on the adjusted
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter for 1995 and
1994, which were 2,927,000 and 2,927,000, respectively.

Inventories

          Inventory valuation is based upon the lower of cost or market.  At
September 30, 1995, consolidated inventories were $5,837,661 compared to
$4,655,529 a year ago.  The increase of $1,182,132 results from higher raw
material levels in anticipation of improving sales and higher finished goods
being held temporarily pending release of certain customers from "credit hold."

Interest

          Interest expense amounted to approximately $238,000 and $209,000 for
the third quarter of 1995 and 1994 respectively.  This increase of $29,000 was
the result of slightly higher interest rates in 1995.

Financial Conditions

          Current financial resources coupled with anticipated funds from
operations are expected to meet funding requirements for the remainder of the
year, based upon present needs.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.                      LEGAL PROCEEDING

          The Company is the plaintiff in a patent infringement lawsuit.
During November of 1993, an advisory jury recommended a decision in favor of
the Company.  In April of 1994, the judge concurred with the advisory jury and
ordered that the defendant be enjoined from any further manufacture, use, or
sale of the accused patented device.  It was also ordered that the defendant
pay approximately $3 million in damages.  On May 9, 1994, the defendant filed
to appeal this decision.  On May 2, 1995, the Company was notified that the
U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals changed the District Courts ruling that the
defendant literally infringed the patent instead of infringment by equivalents.
Further the court of appeals rewarded the case back to the Federal District
Court for first determination of damages.  Briefs covering this matter will be
filed with the Federal District Court on December 7th with 15 days allowed
thereafter for filing of cross briefs.



Item 5.                        OTHER INFORMATION

          On October 26, 1995 the Company repurchased $700,000.00 of a 10%
convertible debenture which was issued October 30, 1991.  In addition the
Company's deferred profit sharing plan also purchased $300,000.00 of the
convertible debenture and immediately exercised its right to convert the debt
into 150,000 shares of non registered company common stock.  The Company
financed the purchase with short term bank borrowings with a floating interest
rate of 1 1/4% over prime.



Item 6.                EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K


          (b) Form 8K dated April 19, 1994, and Form 8K/A dated May 23, 1994;
