Note 3 - Net Income Per Share
- -----------------------------

In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires
disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is
computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed conversion of
dilutive stock options and warrants. In computing the per share effect of
assumed conversion, funds which would have been received from the exercise of
options and warrants are considered to have been used to purchase common shares
at average market prices for the period, and the resulting net additional common
shares are included in the calculation of average common shares outstanding. All
previously reported earnings per share amounts were restated upon adoption of
SFAS No. 128.

The table below summarizes the amounts used to calculate basic and diluted
earnings per share:

Certain anti-dilutive outstanding stock options and warrants were excluded from
the calculation of average shares outstanding since their exercise prices
exceeded the average market price of common shares during the period. The
anti-dilutive stock options and warrants so excluded at the end of each of the
last two interim periods and their associated exercise prices are summarized
below. The options expire at various times between 1999 and 2002.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Company's primary sources of liquidity and capital are funds provided
through its borrowing agreement with banks, its profitability and management of
its Balance Sheet.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, Accounts Receivable balances owing to
the Company increased by $175,212 compared to balances which existed at March
31, 1999. This increase is the result of the higher level of sales achieved in
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to results in the quarter ended March
31, 1999. Inventories increased by $1,245,516 during the quarter ended June 30,
1999. The Company has determined that it is possible and preferable to operate
at lower levels of inventory than existed at June 30, 1999 and throughout the
balance of the current fiscal year, it is the Company's intention to reduce
inventory levels from that level which existed at June 30, 1999 to a level below
that which existed at March 31, 1999. Trade payables decreased by more than
$2,400,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This reduction resulted from the
liquidation of most payables acquired in the February, 1999 Metermaster
acquisition. Bank debt increased by $3,771,500 during the quarter as the result
of the foregoing actions. It is the Company's intention to reduce Trade
Receivables and inventories during the remainder of the current fiscal year and
to use proceeds which will result to reduce bank debt.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Comparison of April 1, 1999 - June 30, 1999
- -------------------------------------------
                            to
              April 1, 1998 - June 30, 1998
              -----------------------------

Sales totaled $20,034,814 in the quarter ended June 30, 1999, an increase of
11.6% compared to sales of $17,959,309 recorded in the same quarter one year
ago. This increase in 1999 is primarily the result of the Company's acquisition
of Metermaster in February, 1999.

Cost of products sold totaled 68% of sales in 1999 compared to 65.9% of sales in
1998. Certain service locations and other operations acquired in our February,
1999 Metermaster acquisition sustained operating cost levels greater than cost
levels which have existed historically within the Company. The Company has taken
action and will continue to take required actions to reduce operating costs at
all locations to appropriate levels. Interest expense increased by 12% compared
to that which resulted one year ago. This increase is the result of additional
borrowings during 1999 which were required as the result of the Metermaster
acquisition.
