Item 2.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                     For Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

Sales and Earnings

     Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $5,256,980 compared to
$5,796,200 for the same period a year ago.  This decrease of $539,220 is due in
part to the Company's discontinuation of the Molded Composite product line, and
in part to lagging sales of the Company's Dustcontrol equipment.  Additionally,
foreign sales for the first quarter of 1995 were down from the first quarter a
year ago.  Quoting activity has been heavy in recent months for the Dustcontrol
products and in our foreign markets.  It is expected that sales will reflect
the increased activity beginning in the second quarter of 1995.
     During the first quarter of 1995, the Company realized a net loss of
$175,553 on sales of $5,256,980.  For the same period of the prior year, the
Company reported net loss of $57,272 on sales of $5,796,200.  This increase in
losses, was directly attributable to the fall off in sales volume.  It is
anticipated by management that market conditions will improve during the second
quarter of 1995 and likewise, improved sale volumes will result.  Loss per
share for the first quarter was ($.06) and ($.02) for 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  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 March
31, 1995, consolidated inventories were $4,837,696 compared to $5,026,126 a
year ago.  The decrease of $188,430 is a result of the Companies overall
efforts to reduce inventory levels and the associated carrying costs.

Interest

          Interest expense amounted to approximately $225,000 and $182,000 for
the first quarter of 1995 and 1994 respectively.  This increase of $43,000 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 was one of several defendants in a lawsuit, directed toward a
former investment counseling firm not associated with the Company, for which
the plaintiffs were seeking $3 million in compensatory losses and $6.5 million
in punitive damages.  During 1992, the Company received a summary judgement
dismissing it as a defendant in the case.  A trial was subsequently held, and
the remaining defendants received a favorable verdict.  The plaintiffs then
appealed all of the dismissals and the verdict.  In April of 1995, the Court of
Appeals dismissed the plaintiff's appeal, thereby concluding the lawsuit.

     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.  The Company subsequently filed a counter appeal
seeking recovery of additional damages.  On May 2, 1995 the Company was
notified that the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Courts
ruling that the defendant committed "no literal infringement" of a patent on a
lighting fixture for buses.  The court further ruled that the defendants
fixture was covered by the patent, and sent the case back to the Federal
District court for "further findings of fact" and re-evaluation of damages.
This matter is expected to be resolved in the next 3-5 months.
