Interest is payable on a formula basis, at the Company's option, at rates above
prime or above LIBOR determined on the basis of Company performance as
determined by its leverage ratio. On June 30, 2000, interest to be paid under
Term Loans was 2.40% to 3.25% above LIBOR or .50% to 1.00% above the bank's
prime lending rate. At June 30, 2000, $9,600,600 was borrowed under the
Revolving Credit portion of the Company's credit facility. The term of the
Revolving Credit Facility dated August 8, 1998 matures on July 1, 2001. Interest
is payable under the Revolving Credit Facility on a formula basis, at the
Company's option, at rates above prime or above LIBOR determined on the basis of
the Company's performance as determined by its leverage ratio. On June 30, 2000,
interest to be paid under the Revolving Credit Agreement was 2.50% above LIBOR
or .50% above the bank's prime lending rate. At June 30, 2000, interest was
payable on the above loans at rates ranging from 9.16% to 10.00%. The Company
has entered into interest rate swaps resulting in a substantial portion of
floating interest rate debt being swapped into fixed interest rate debt.

The revolving credit and term loan agreement contains, among other provisions,
requirements to maintain minimum levels of net worth, to meet minimum fixed
charge coverage ratios and leverage ratios throughout the term of the loans.

Additionally, the Company has pledged its personal property and fixtures,
including inventory and equipment, and its accounts receivable as collateral
security for the loan. Further, the Company has agreed to pay to its lenders an
annual commitment fee from .125% to .25%, depending on performance of the
Company, of the unused portion of the Lenders' Revolving Credit committed
amount. The fee is payable quarterly and total commitment fees paid under any
unused lines of credit under Revolving Credit Agreements were immaterial in both
1999 and 2000. The Company agreed to pay a closing fee in the amount of $130,000
in conjunction with the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility and the
amendment thereto; fees are being amortized over the term of the loans.

The Company is in compliance with provisions of its loan agreement as of June
30, 2000.

Note 3 - Net Income 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.

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 2000 and 2005.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

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, 2000, Accounts Receivable balances owing to
the Company by its customers decreased by $1,198,000 and inventories were
reduced by $230,000. Trade payables were reduced by approximately $608,000 in
the quarter ended June 30, 2000 and bank debt was reduced by $1,668,000. It is
the Company's intention to continue to aggressively manage its Balance Sheet so
that it can continue to reduce bank debt.

Results of Operations

Comparison of April 1, 2000 - June 30, 2000
                            to
              April 1, 1999 - June 30, 1999

Sales totaled $18,800,009 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, a decrease of
7.8%, compared to sales of $20,388,597 recorded in the same quarter one year
ago. Seventy-six percent of the decrease resulted from lower sales in the
Company's meter modification operation. In 1999, significant shipments of such
products which had built up in Metermaster's backlog prior to its acquisition by
Transmation in February, 1999, were accomplished. Additionally, shipments of
products to export markets through Transcat declined 24% in the quarter ended
June 30, 2000 compared to shipments in the same quarter last year. Transmation
has hired new production management to reduce the delivery time to customers in
its meter modification business to enable it to better compete in the meter
modification marketplace. Transmation has also transferred experienced sales
management to this division to more aggressively seek out business
opportunities. Additionally, Transmation is currently revamping its sales
distribution network, particularly in Asian markets, to enable it to better
compete for business in that important market.

Cost of product sold totaled 69.6% of sales in 2000 compared to 68.6% of sales
in 1999. Lower shipments in the meter modification division led to higher per
unit overheads in 2000 compared to 1999.


                                       7
<PAGE>   8


Selling and administrative expenses were reduced by 5 percent in 2000 compared
to 1999, this despite selling and administrative spending of $276,000 in the
Company's MetersandInstruments.com subsidiary in 2000. MetersandInstruments.com
did not exist in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. The Company continuously
reviews selling and administrative spending to attempt to minimize such costs in
their relationship to sales.

Despite higher interest rates during the period, lower average borrowing levels
enabled the Company to hold interest costs to approximately the same level as in
1999.
