   Item 1.  Business

   Edison Control Corporation ( the "Company") was incorporated under the
   laws of the State of New Jersey on June 18, 1986 to succeed a limited
   partnership organized on October 31, 1979. Until June 21, 1996, the
   principal operating business was involved in the design, development,
   manufacture and sale of electronic fault indicators. On June 21, 1996, the
   Company purchased, from unaffiliated persons, all of the issued and
   outstanding stock of Construction Forms, Inc. ("ConForms"), CF Ultra Tech,
   Inc. ("Ultra Tech") and  CF Gilco,  Inc. ("Gilco") and all of the issued
   and outstanding units of another affiliate, JABCO, LLC. On October 31,
   1996, the Company sold certain net assets of the electronic fault
   indicators business to the manager of that operation.  In order to conform
   the Company's fiscal year to that of ConForms and its affiliates, the
   Company changed its fiscal year from a calendar year to a year ended
   January 31, resulting in a one-month transition period in 1996.   On
   February 1, 1998, Ultra Tech and Gilco were merged into ConForms.

   The Company conducts its business through its subsidiaries.   ConForms,
   the Company's principal operating unit, designs, manufactures and
   distributes concrete pumping systems and accessories. Ultra Tech is
   engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of abrasion resistant piping
   systems.  Abrasion resistant hardened pipe is used extensively in mining,
   pulp and paper mills, waste water treatment plants and coal-fired electric
   utility plants, as well as in concrete pumping applications. Gilco is
   engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of a broad line of concrete and
   mortar/plaster mixers for a broad segment of industries.

                                    ConForms

   Most of ConForms' manufacturing operations and all of its administrative
   functions are located at the Company's 53,000 square foot headquarters in
   Cedarburg, Wisconsin, which is approximately 17 miles north of Milwaukee. 
   ConForms operates three branch warehouses for light manufacturing and
   distribution of its products.  The warehouses are located in Gardena,
   California; Newport, Wales, United Kingdom; and Johor Bahru, Malaysia. 
   ConForms also owns a 50% interest in South Houston Hose Company, a
   Houston, Texas based distributor of concrete pumping accessories,
   industrial hoses and a variety of fittings for other markets. 

   ConForms produces a standardized line of concrete pumping components and
   accessories compatible with many different types of concrete pumps in
   order to be in a position to provide concrete pumpers and distributors
   with a complete, high quality line of components and accessories priced
   lower than if each component were purchased individually.  ConForms
   believes that a pumping system designed as a package helps  improve the
   reliability and output of the pump.

   In the 1970s, as concrete pumps became more reliable, available and
   acceptable in the United States as the most efficient method of placing
   concrete, ConForms worked closely with pump manufacturers and contractors
   to develop better engineered products for the rapidly changing industry. 
   The Company believes that industry standards were largely established
   based on ConForms' designs.  ConForms' objective was, and continues to be,
   to provide high quality components and a superior level of service to stay
   at the forefront of the concrete pumping market.  As ConForms continued to
   grow utilizing quality engineering, patent protection, tooling and
   fixtures, manufacturing methods and distribution, it became difficult for
   smaller manufacturers to match ConForms' total service level.  The Company
   believes this strategy has allowed ConForms to increase its market share
   to over 50% of the North American market.

   ConForms manufactures concrete pumping systems and accessories for many
   applications, including use in high rise construction, airport and parking
   structures, and bridge and tunnel construction.  In addition, ConForms'
   products are used extensively on mobile, truck-mounted concrete pumps
   equipped with articulating booms.  Because of the inherent abrasiveness of
   concrete being conveyed under pressure, ConForms' products need to be
   replaced periodically and the end-user usually contacts ConForms or a
   distributor for high-quality, in-stock replacement components.

   ConForms manufactures over 7,000 finished products, although approximately
   500 products constitute approximately 80% of ConForms' sales.  To its
   knowledge, ConForms is the only complete source of system components and
   accessories needed to pump and place concrete.  ConForms' products include
   straight pipe sections in a variety of lengths, diameters, wall
   thicknesses, degrees of hardness, and fittings.  In addition, ConForms'
   products include couplings, reducers, bends, elbows and valves in various
   sizes and styles.  Specially-made rubber hose in a variety of sizes and
   configurations is included in ConForms' product base.  The line also
   includes equipment which is tailor-made for particular applications, such
   as bridge-deck spreaders, krete-placers, hydraulic diversion discharge
   valves and customized equipment used in tunnel construction.

   Marketing

   ConForms' products, which account for approximately 75% of the Company's
   sales, are marketed principally through its own sales personnel and
   distributors. Besides contact from sales personnel, ConForms also attempts
   to maintain a prominent level of market visibility through active
   membership in the American Concrete Pumping Association, exhibits at
   industry trade shows, direct mail publications to end users and conducting
   industry safety seminars.  Approximately 95% of  all orders are received
   over the telephone. 

   Export sales accounted for approximately 21.3% of ConForms' business for
   the year ended January 31, 1998, compared to 22.0% in the prior year. 
   International markets are expected to be an increasing part of the
   business in future years.

   Customers

   ConForms' customer base consists of  concrete pump manufacturers (18%),
   pumper/dealers (organizations which run a concrete pumping operation but
   also act as dealers of concrete pumps and systems) (33%), dealers (27%),
   pumping contractors (10%) and various other businesses such as rental
   yards, general contractors, pool contractors, ready mix operations, mines,
   fireproofers and precast companies (12%).

   No customer exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the
   year ended January 31, 1998.

   Competition

   ConForms competes with a number of manufacturers in the concrete pumping
   components and accessories industry.  However, the Company believes that
   this competition is very fragmented, with most competitors offering a
   limited selection of concrete pumping components and mainly selling
   against ConForms on price.  ConForms competes by providing a complete line
   of products, quality, first class service and engineering assistance.  
   Moreover, the Company believes that ConForms' patents, manufacturing
   methods and inventory stocking strategy provide it with a competitive
   advantage.  Pump manufacturers also compete by actively promoting their
   internal wear parts and piping systems. Also, some customers develop their
   own in-house capability to produce some of the products.

   Miscellaneous Data

   Principal manufacturing operations include machining, welding, burning,
   bending, heat-treating, painting, sawing, hose coupling, assembly and
   fixture and tool making.

   Raw materials principally include steel pipe and tubing, rubber hose and
   castings. ConForms has long-term relationships with a select group of
   suppliers to control costs and ensure material quality and availability. 
   ConForms does not have any written contractual agreements with any of its
   suppliers.

   The business has marginally lower sales volume in the fourth quarter;
   however working capital requirements are not significantly impacted. Terms
   of sale are generally net 30 days.

   ConForms has several patents and trademarks; only one, the method of heat-
   treating pipe with a wall thickness of under .200 inches, is considered of
   significant importance to the Company. 

   ConForms order backlog on March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
   $790,000 and $800,000, respectively; all of which should be completed
   prior to the end of the current fiscal year.  

                                   Ultra Tech

   Ultra Tech was formed in 1989 to help assure ConForms an in-house supply
   of the highest quality, induction-hardened pipe for its concrete pumping
   systems.  The Company believes its induction-hardened pipe will typically
   last 3 to 8 or more times longer than non-hardened pipe.  Since its
   formation, Ultra Tech has attempted to establish its own identity in many
   other markets, primarily throughout the United States, including the
   mining industry to carry phosphate and coal slurries, the pulp and paper
   industry for various slurry mixes, the power industry to convey fly ash
   and coal and the waste treatment industry to convey sludge.  

   Ultra Tech has developed a line of hardened pipe products available in
   varying diameters, lengths and configurations which prolong the life of a
   piping system, regardless of particular wear characteristics found in the
   pumping system.  The Company uses low alloy steel pipe, advanced heat-
   treating technology and metallurgical principles to produce both UT600 and
   UT500 induction-hardened pipe.  Both of these products have a hard,
   abrasion resistant inner wall and a more ductile outer layer.  For pure
   abrasion applications, UT600 provides outstanding wear resistance.  UT600
   induction-hardened pipe is made from a raw steel pipe of a proprietary
   chemistry.  The pipe is induction heated, then water quenched on the inner
   wall.  In applications involving impact or shock loading, UT500 offers
   more ductility while maintaining a hard inner wear surface.  

   In August 1995, Ultra Tech began production at a new 43,000 square foot
   modern induction-hardening plant owned by its affiliate, JABCO, LLC in
   Port Washington, Wisconsin.  Port Washington is approximately 25 miles
   north of Milwaukee, and 10 miles from Cedarburg.  Ultra Tech's new
   building and equipment have allowed it to expand both the abrasion
   resistant pipe market and its share in that market.  Ultra Tech's new
   equipment increases the size range of pipe it can process from 24 inches
   to 40 inches in diameter and reduces processing time by approximately 50%.

   Marketing

   Ultra Tech products, which account for approximately 17% of the Company's
   net sales, are marketed through Company sales and marketing personnel and
   distributors.  Regular advertising is placed in various trade journals.

   Ultra Tech's export sales for the year ended January 31, 1998 and 1997
   accounted for approximately 10.8% and 7.4% of net sales, respectively.

   Customers

   The market for Ultra Tech's products is primarily resource-based
   industries such as mining, paper and energy.  Secondary influence is felt
   in the processing industries such as dredging, foundries, steel, cement,
   sludge and grain handling.  However, any pneumatic or hydraulic pipeline
   transporting solids is a potential customer for Ultra Tech. 

   No customer exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the
   year ended January 31, 1998.
    
   Competition

   There are a number of competitors in the piping industry, including mild
   steel, duplex steel, plastic pipe, rubber lined pipe, basalt lined pipe,
   ceramic lined pipe and cast alloy pipe.   Ultra Tech is one of only three
   North American competitors in the manufacturing of hardened pipe.  Ultra
   Tech relies on its efficient manufacturing processes, superior value,
   quality and engineering assistance to compete. 

   Miscellaneous Data

   Principal manufacturing operations include machining, welding, burning,
   bending, heat-treating and  sawing. 

   Raw materials principally include steel pipe in lengths up to 50 feet and
   diameters from 2 1/2 to 40 inches.  Ultra Tech does not have any written
   contractual agreements with any of its suppliers.  Raw materials are
   readily available from various sources.

   Ultra Tech's business is not seasonal.  Working capital requirements may
   be significant depending on the size of the order. Terms of sale are
   generally net 30 days.

   Ultra Tech does not depend on patents and trademarks. 

   Ultra Tech's order backlog on March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
   $1,025,000 and $190,000, respectively; all of which is to be completed
   prior to the end of the current fiscal year.  

                                      Gilco

   In 1989, ConForms acquired the assets of the mixer division of the Gilson
   Brothers Company, a well-known manufacturer of construction and utility
   mixers.  This acquisition allowed ConForms to diversify and expand its
   product line and market base in the concrete construction equipment
   industry. Gilco is engaged in the design,  manufacture and marketing of
   concrete and mortar/plaster mixers.  Gilco's product lines include
   mortar/plaster mixers with capacities of six to sixteen cubic feet,
   concrete mixers with capacities of one and one-half to nine cubic feet and
   non-tilt mixers with capacities of six to sixteen cubic feet.

   Gilco's mixers are built to maintain high production with the densest
   mixes in the toughest conditions.  The mixers feature a square paddle
   shaft, steel blades/adjustable wipers and a reinforced tubular steel
   frame.  They also feature a dual-belt drive and a completely enclosed
   extra heavy duty gear drive with automotive style clutch or a fully-
   automatic hydraulic transmission.  Gilco's new polyurethane liners can be
   ordered across several mixer lines.  Mixers are driven by gas-powered
   engines or electric motors.

   Gilco occupies a 50,000 square foot factory owned by the Company in
   Grafton, Wisconsin.  Grafton is approximately 20 miles north of Milwaukee
   and 5 miles from Cedarburg.

   Marketing

   Gilco markets its products, which account for approximately 8% of the
   Company's sales, through two inside sales personnel, direct mail, trade
   magazine advertisements and referrals.  This is in addition to its
   existing distributor and retail channels.  Gilson mixers are positioned at
   the high quality, high price end of the market.

   Gilco's export sales accounted for  approximately 2% and 5% of Gilco's net
   sales volume during the years ended January 31, 1998 and 1997,
   respectively.

   Customers

   Approximately 37% of Gilco's sales are to construction equipment dealers.
   Another 27% is sold direct to masons, plasterers, general contractors and
   other end users.  Retail outlets account for about 29% of Gilco's
   business.  The remaining 7% is sold to government agencies, rental yards,
   and other equipment manufacturers.  

   No customer exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales for the
   year ended January 31, 1998.

   Competition

   Gilco has a few large competitors along with several competitors of
   similar size.  While a few are only involved with mixers, most have a line
   of additional and some-what related construction equipment products. 
   Gilco competes on the basis of its high quality.

   Miscellaneous Data

   Principal manufacturing operations include metal fabricating, welding,
   burning, bending, assembly and  painting. 

   Raw materials principally include sheet metal, steel, castings, tires and
   engines.  Gilco does not have any written contractual agreements with any
   of its suppliers.  All raw materials are readily available.

   The business is seasonal with slightly lower sales volume in the fourth
   quarter; however, working capital requirements are not significantly
   affected. Terms of sale are generally net 30 days.

   Gilco's patents and trademarks are not material to Gilco's business. 

   Gilco's order backlog on March 31, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $80,000
   and $95,000, respectively; all of which is to be shipped during the
   current fiscal year. 

                                Year 2000 Matters

   As is the case with most other companies using computers in their
   operations, the Company is in the process of addressing the Year 2000
   problem.  The Company is currently engaged in a comprehensive project to
   select and implement a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system
   that will properly recognize the Year 2000 problem.  This project involves
   replacing certain hardware and software maintained by the Company.     

   Management expects to complete this project in early 1999.  The Company
   estimates that the total cumulative cost of the project  will be
   approximately $500,000 and will be funded through operating cash flows or
   the existing bank line of credit.  Purchased  ERP  system hardware and
   software, approximately $350,000 of the the total estimated cost, will be
   capitalized in accordance with normal policy.  Personnel and all other
   costs related to the project are currently, and will continue to  be,
   expensed as incurred.
    
   The cost of the project and the date on which the Company believes it will
   complete the project are based on management's best estimates, which were
   derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events, including the
   continued availability of certain resources and other factors.  However,
   there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual
   results could differ materially from those anticipated.

                                 General Matters

   Research and development expenditures are a part of the engineering
   department's budget and are expensed as incurred. The estimated total
   amount spent on research and development during the years ended January
   31, 1998 and 1997, the one-month transition period ended January 31, 1996,
   and the year ended December 31, 1995 totaled approximately $190,000,
   $190,000, $6,000,  and $43,000, respectively.

   The Company believes that compliance with Federal, state and local
   environmental regulation will not require significant capital expenditures
   or materially affect future earnings in fiscal 1998.

   No portion of the business is subject to renegotiation of profits or
   termination of contracts at the election of the United States government.

                               Foreign Operations

   Information on foreign operations is incorporated by reference to footnote
   15 of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's
   1997 Annual Report to Shareholders.

                                    Employees

   As of January 31, 1998, the Company had 110 active full-time employees.
