INDUSTRY TRENDS

      The automotive industry continues to evolve towards the early stages of
convergence between the OEM's and the supplier base. This trend should result in
the OEM's focusing their financial resources on marketing and distribution,
rather than manufacturing.

      Other significant trends within the North American automotive industry
have had, and are likely to continue to have, an impact on the Company's
business. Over the past several years, the industry had required that its tool
suppliers utilize advanced computer integrated technology including high-speed
machining centers and design computer systems. These investments have required
significant capital investment by tooling suppliers including the Company.
During the past eighteen months, the OEM's have been utilizing a strategy of
awarding tooling contracts to the lowest bidder, including foreign tooling
manufacturers from Europe and Asia, despite the aforementioned technology
requirements. This has caused pricing compression in the industry, and when
combined with limited number of tooling contracts being released and exchange
rate factors, has caused tooling suppliers contract margins to decrease
significantly both on a domestic and a foreign basis.


                                       3
<PAGE>

      During fiscal 2001, DaimlerChrysler implemented awarding tooling contracts
via an on-line bidding process using Covisint. This process involves having
"qualified" tooling suppliers, foreign and domestic, involved with bidding for
tooling contracts in an anonymous, on-line auctioning process. This process in
tandem with recent limited tooling contract availability has created tooling
contract pricing erosion that has lowered tooling contract margins on an
industry-wide basis.

    The emphasis on designing and manufacturing more fuel-efficient vehicles as
the result of federal Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulation has produced
many new vehicle designs. In addition, automobile manufacturers are utilizing
lightweight, high strength steels and aluminum in new model designs in order to
decrease the weight of the vehicle and increase fuel efficiency. Therefore,
suppliers will be required to have the ability to work with these types of
materials in order to remain competitive. The Company has established experience
in manufacturing dies used in the production of structural components made of
light-weight, high strength steels and aluminum.

    Efforts by OEMs and their suppliers to reduce labor and other manufacturing
costs have resulted in their tending to combine common parts into a single
stamping press and reduce the number of "hits" required to manufacture a part.
In addition, utilization of transfer presses has increased demand for transfer
dies to reduce labor cost at the OEMs and their suppliers.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

    Dies. The Company's dies are used in the high-speed production of sheet
metal stamped parts and assemblies. Production of such parts is a multiple step
process involving a series of dies. Typically, the first die is used to cut the
appropriate size metal blank from a sheet or coil of steel. The next die draws
the metal blank into its primary shape and subsequent dies are used to bend
edges or corners, create flanges, trim off excess metal and pierce assembly
holes. A customer usually orders only one series of dies for each separate part.
Normally, the dies do not require replacement due to usage because the life of
well-maintained dies is sufficient to carry production to the point when styling
changes dictate production of new dies. The dies manufactured by the Company
generally include automation features, adding to the complexity of design and
construction. These automation features facilitate rapid introduction and
removal of the work piece or raw material into and out of the die, thereby
increasing production speeds and reducing labor cost for part manufacturers.

     Simultaneous Engineering of Product and Process. The OEMs are developing
organizational structures involving internal design and engineering personnel as
well as supplier representatives which they are using to develop new car models.
These organizations are called "Platform" teams. This allows full implementation
of simultaneous engineering -- the application of the product engineering and
process engineering functions simultaneously and early in the process. The
Company utilizes advanced Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing
technology to design and manufacture its complex stamping dies. Due to this
advanced computer capability, the Company is able to work very closely with its
customers and is often assigned to these Platform teams early. Its process
engineering input facilitates the teams' goals of introducing new models rapidly
and efficiently. The Company has invested significantly to ensure that it
utilizes the latest advanced technology and is capable of receiving and working
directly from complex mathematical data received from its OEM customers.
Management's investment in, and commitment to, advanced technology has
solidified its quality reputation with its customers and helped the Company
maintain its tier one status.

    Prototype Tooling and Parts. With the advent of Platform team and
simultaneous engineering methods, the Company has been involved in the design
and manufacture of both the prototype tooling, final production tooling and
specifying the final production process. Prototype tooling and parts are
utilized during the design phase of new models, which the automobile
manufacturers use to validate the fit and function of the respective components
and assemblies and the repeatability of the respective production processes. The
parts manufactured from prototype tools are also often used in crash testing.

    Typically, prototype tools associated with the primary metal forming
operations are manufactured from an alloy casting or mild steel and subsequently
machined using the mathematical database and related Computer Numerically
Controlled ("CNC") programs. After machining, the prototype tools are assembled
and tested to validate the



                                       4
<PAGE>

integrity and repeatability of the final manufacturing process. The results of
the validation process are incorporated into the mathematical database, which
will then be used to manufacture the final production tools. After testing the
primary forming operations, prototype parts are manufactured using special means
such as computerized laser-cutting machines to trim off excess scrap and to
incorporate various slots and holes. These parts are then sent to the automobile
manufacturers for further testing and evaluation. The results of this testing
and evaluation may require the incorporation of additional design and
manufacturing process modifications prior to construction of the production
tooling.

MANUFACTURING

    Traditionally, the die manufacturing process was comprised of various manual
steps performed by craftsmen. After being awarded a contract, the Company would
be presented with a wooden model of the part to be produced. From the model,
plaster tooling aids were constructed. The plaster tooling aids were then traced
and cut into steel. The steel was then ground, usually quite extensively, by
hand to fit. Validation was also done by hand, by measuring specific points on
the die face and comparing these to the original design blueprints. Today, the
design and most of the manufacturing process is computer-driven, which increases
accuracy and reduces the time required to produce a set of stamping dies.

     The manufacturing process starts when the Company is assigned to a new
Platform team and simultaneous engineering begins. An electronic "model" of the
part to be produced is transmitted directly to the Company as a mathematical
database. Company engineers use the mathematical database to generate
computer-aided die designs and die face cutter path programs. These cutter path
programs are used by the toolmakers and machinists to manufacture the inner
workings of the tool. Most material is removed and the cutting is done by CNC
machine tools, which utilize the computer-generated cutter path programs.
Depending on the complexity of the tool, a prototype may be manufactured to
prove-out the manufacturing process or to provide actual parts for crash testing
and to test fit and function. Finally, after the die is constructed, it is
evaluated statistically for process repeatability and dimensional validation on
the Company's coordinate measuring machine. During this automated validation
process, the tool is statistically compared to the mathematical database. Having
the optimum size and quantity of tryout presses is an important aspect of the
construction and validation process, and the Company has therefore invested
heavily to ensure its capability in this area.

    On average, 10 months elapse from the time the Company is awarded a contract
until the final set of dies is shipped to the customer. The OEMs continue to
strive to reduce the time required to introduce a new car model. In an attempt
to reduce leadtimes, OEMs are relying more heavily on simultaneous engineering
and integrating suppliers more closely into the design process. This trend has
helped the Company by requiring more direct relationships between the OEMs and
its suppliers such as the Company.

QS 9000/TE CERTIFICATION

         The Company is certified under the Tooling and Equipment Supplement
("TE Supplement") QS-9000 and ISO-9000 Quality Standards. The TE
Supplement/QS-9000 standard was developed by DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and General
Motors to establish a single set of quality requirements for their tooling
suppliers. ISO 9000 is an international quality standard for all industries.

         The TE Supplement has become the international standard of all quality
systems in the tooling industry, designed to ensure that systems are in place to
prevent defects from occurring in the design, manufacturing and validation
phases of our processes. The Company, by receiving the TE Supplement/QS-9000
certification, has demonstrated that its quality systems are in place to meet
customer requirements.

RAW MATERIALS

    The steel, castings and other components utilized by the Company in the
manufacturing process are available from many different sources and the Company
is not dependent on any single source. The Company typically



                                       5
<PAGE>

purchases its raw materials on a purchase order basis as needed and has
generally been able to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials for its
operations.

MARKETING AND SALES

    The Company's marketing emphasis is on DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and General
Motors and their tier one suppliers. The Company maintains excellent
relationships with DaimlerChrysler, Ford, and General Motors which directly
accounted for approximately 57%, in the aggregate, of the Company's revenues in
2001. For the year ended August 31, 2001, DaimlerChrysler, Ford, General Motors
and their tier one suppliers accounted for approximately 98% of the Company's
revenues.

    Sales efforts are conducted primarily by the Company's Vice President of
Sales, President, senior management and project management personnel. Frequent
contact is made with domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers and their
purchasing agents, Platform managers and tier one suppliers. When the Company
has been assigned to a new model Platform Team, the Platform Team manager is
contacted to determine those parts and assemblies that will be assigned to
various required suppliers. During the design phase, the Company recommends
process and design changes to improve the cost and quality of the product.
Generally, when the Company is assigned to a Platform Team, orders are obtained
directly and without a formal bid process. The Company maintains a comprehensive
computer database with historical information regarding dies it has previously
manufactured. This assists the Company in quoting prices for dies and enables it
to respond to most quotation requests quickly and accurately. If the customer
decides to accept the Company's quotation, a purchase order is issued subject to
price adjustments for engineering changes requested by the customer. Where no
Platform Team is assembled, the Company bids on specific tooling assignments,
and bids are awarded on a competitive basis among a group of qualified
suppliers.

    For business done with tier one suppliers, the Company's sales process
follows a more traditional process. The Company typically receives a package or
request for quotation from the tier one supplier and is less involved in the
design process of the part to be manufactured. Bids are generally awarded based
on technological capability, price, quality and past performance.

BACKLOG AND SEASONALITY

    The Company's backlog of awarded contracts, of which all are believed to be
firm, was approximately $6.9 million and $10.6 million as of August 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively. Of the August 31, 2001 contract backlog, the Company expects
all backlog contracts will be reflected in sales during fiscal year ended August
31, 2002. The Company's sales of stamping dies do not follow a seasonal pattern;
however, the timing of new model introductions and existing model restyling
tooling programs are dependent on DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors and
their introduction of new models.

COMPETITION

    Large, complex automotive stamping dies are manufactured primarily by three
supplier groups: a) domestic independent tool and die manufacturers, b) foreign
independent tool and die manufacturers, and c) captive or in-house tool and die
shops owned and operated by the OEMs.

    The independent tool and die manufacturer industry has significant barriers
to entry, which can reduce competition in the large-scale die market. These
barriers include the highly capital intensive and technically complex
requirements of the industry. Additionally attracting and retaining employees
skilled in the use of advanced design and manufacturing technology is a
multi-year process. Finally, a new competitor would most likely lack much of the
credibility and historical customer relationships that take years to develop.

    Finally, the OEMs maintain in-house, captive tool and die capacity to meet a
portion of their needs. General Motors maintains the largest captive capacity
and, based on estimates from various trade publications, supplies an estimated
75-80% of its own die construction needs. Ford produces approximately 50% and
DaimlerChrysler 25%



                                       6
<PAGE>

of their own respective needs. Independent suppliers like the Company tend to
have a competitive advantage over the OEMs' in-house die shops due to the OEMs'
higher cost structure.

    With the advent of simultaneous engineering in the automobile industry,
proximity of the OEM's design engineers may effect the placement of the die
manufacturer. However, foreign competition may have certain advantages over
domestic die manufacturers including lower capital costs, currency exchange

         The Company is a Plaintiff in Kent County Circuit Case Number
01-02111-CZ asking for recovery of $850,000 in damages by Dana Corporation. This
matter arises out of a contract in the ordinary course of the Company's business
for the production of manufacturing stamping dies for an auto frame assembly.
The Company has counterclaimed against Plaintiff Dana Corporation for an
additional sum of approximately $1,000,000 for amounts unpaid in connection with
its services under the agreement. The Company believes it has adequate defenses
to the Plaintiff's claim as well as a sound basis for its counterclaim. The
Company intends to vigorously pursue not only defense of the Plaintiff's claim
but collection of its own counterclaims.

registered holders of record and approximately 663 beneficial shareholders.

         The Company has not historically paid cash dividends on its common
stock. The payment of common stock cash dividends is within the discretion of
the Company's Board of Directors, with prior written consent of its primary
lender; however, in view of the potential working capital needs and in order to
finance future growth, it is unlikely that the Company will pay any cash
dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.

five-percent common stock dividend, payable on December 18, 1998, to all
shareholders of record on November 17, 1998. On December 18, 1998, an additional
153,245 common shares were issued as a stock dividend.
