     consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and the
     Company and their subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
     transactions have been eliminated.

     In accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, the accompanying
     interim financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that
     users of the interim financial information have either read or have access
     to the audited financial statements for the latest fiscal year ended
     February 29, 1996.  Accordingly, footnote disclosures which would
     substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the February 29, 1996
     audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim financial
     statements.  While management of Holdings and the Company believes the
     procedures followed in preparing these financial statements are reasonable
     under the circumstances and that all adjustments necessary for a fair
     statement of the results of operations have been made.  It is suggested
     that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the
     financial statements and the notes thereto included in Holdings' and the
     Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

3.   In connection with the change in ownership, the Company's management
     undertook a strategic review of all business units. The review was
     completed and presented to the Board of Directors in December 1996. As a
     result of this review, the Company has decided to revise its estimates on
     various medical and industrial product lines and to discontinue the Aura(R)
     product line. Accordingly, the Company will record a charge of
     approximately $18.8 million in the fourth quarter related to goodwill and
     inventory writedown.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SUMMARY
-------

The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells products which are grouped
according to three business segments: Industrial, Distributed and Medical.
Industrial products include cryogenic storage tanks and transportation equipment
sold to producers, distributors and end users of industrial gases.  Distributed
products include bulk CO\2\ containers used for beverage carbonization,
biological storage systems used to store and transport temperature-sensitive
biological matter and insulated storage of liquid natural gas.  Medical products
include a range of respiratory products such as liquid oxygen systems,
ambulatory oxygen systems, oxygen concentrators and nebulizers.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------

Three Months Ended November 30, 1996 and 1995

Net Sales
---------

Net sales for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 increased 5.3% to $47.5
million from $45.1 million in the comparable period in 1995.

Industrial Products:  Net sales for the quarter ended November 30, 1996
increased 9.0% to $29.0 million from $26.6 million in the comparable period in
1995. The increase is primarily attributable to the Japanese market for liquid
cylinders, increased investment in fabrication plants for semiconductors
requiring electronic-grade tanks, and increased demand for liquid hydrogen
tanks.

Distributed Products:  Net sales for the quarter ended November 30, 1996
increased 15.8% to $11.7 million from $10.1 million in the comparable period in
1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to increased restaurant CO\2\
sales offset by decreases in sales of AURA panels.  Sales of AURA panels were
$308,000 for the quarter and will be discontinued after March 31, 1997.

Medical Products:  Net sales for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 decreased
19.0% to $6.8 million from $8.4 million in the comparable period in 1995.  This
lower level of sales results from the continued uncertainty in oxygen
reimbursement caused by the review of Medicare/Medicaid expenditures and the
delayed introduction of a new concentrator product.

Gross Margin
------------

Gross margin (expressed as a percent of net sales) increased to 28.8% for the
quarter ended November 30, 1996 from 27.7% in the comparable period in 1995.

Industrial Products:  Gross margin increased to 25.0% for the quarter ended
November 30, 1996 from 20.0% in the comparable period in 1995.  The increase is
attributable to reduced material costs and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Distributed Products:  Gross margin increased to 37.0% for the quarter ended
November 30, 1996 from 35.1% in the comparable period in 1995.  The increase is
primarily attributable to improved manufacturing efficiencies as a result of
increased volumes for restaurant products, improved unit manufacturing costs for
biological products, and decreased sales of AURA flat vacuum panels.

Medical Products:  Gross margin decreased to 30.6% for the quarter ended
November 30, 1996 from 34.3% in the comparable period in 1995.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to lower volumes and a less profitable product mix.

Operating Income
----------------

Operating income decreased 37.6% to $2.6 million or 5.4% of net sales for the
three months ended November 30, 1996 from $4.1 million or 9.2% of net sales in
the comparable period in 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to the one time
expenses related to the recapitalization with MVE Investors, LLC in August and
the decline in Medical Products sales.  Adjusting for the recapitalization
expenses, operating income would have decreased 6.4% to $3.9 million.

Interest Expense
----------------

Interest expense was $4.2 million for the quarter ended November 30, 1996 and
$4.4 million in the comparable period in 1995.

Income Taxes
------------

The effective income tax rate was 40% for the three months ended November 30,
1996 and 1995.

Net Income
----------

As a result of the above, net loss for the three months ended November 30, 1996
was $974,000 compared to a net loss of $125,000 in the comparable period in
1995.

EBITDA
------

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization)
decreased 21.9% to $5.0 million or 10.5% of sales for the quarter ended November
30, 1996 from $6.4 million or 14.2% of sales in the comparable period of 1995.
The decrease in EBITDA is attributable to the factors noted in "Operating
Income" above.

Nine Months Ended November 30, 1996 and 1995

Net Sales
---------

Net sales for the nine months ended November 30, 1996 increased 8.5% to $142.4
million from $131.2 million in the comparable period in 1995.

Industrial Products:  Net sales for the nine months ended November 30, 1996
increased 25.1% to $88.1 million from $70.3 million in the comparable period in
1995. The increase is primarily attributable to the Japanese market for liquid
cylinders, increased investment in fabrication plants for semiconductors
requiring electronic-grade tanks, and increased demand for liquid hydrogen
tanks.

Distributed Products:  Net sales for the nine months ended November 30, 1996
increased 4.7% to $33.5 million from $32.0 million in the comparable period in
1995. The increase is primarily attributable to increased restaurant CO\2\
sales offset by significant decreases in AURA panels sales. Sales of AURA panels
were $1.2 million for the nine months and will be discontinued after March 31,
1997.

Medical Products:  Net sales for the nine months ended November 30, 1996
decreased 28.0% to $20.8 million from $28.9 million in the comparable period in
1995.  The decrease results from the continued uncertainty in oxygen
reimbursement caused by the review of Medicare/Medicaid expenditures and the
delayed introduction of a new concentrator product.

Gross Margin
------------

Gross margin (expressed as a percent of net sales) decreased to 28.8% for the
nine months ended November 30, 1996 from 29.5% in the comparable period in
1995.

Industrial Products:  Gross margin increased to 24.2% for the nine months ended
November 30, 1996 from 23.2% in the comparable period in 1995. The increase is
attributable to reduced material costs and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

<PAGE>
 
Distributed Products:  Gross margin increased to 38.9% for the nine months ended
November 30, 1996 from 34.1% in the comparable period in 1995. The increase is
primarily attributable to improved manufacturing efficiencies as a result of
increased volumes for restaurant products, improved unit manufacturing costs for
biological products, and decreased sales of AURA flat vacuum panels.

Medical Products:  Gross margin decreased to 32.2% for the nine months ended
November 30, 1996 from 34.8% in the comparable period in 1995.  The increase is
primarily attributable to lower volumes and a less profitable product mix.

Operating Income
----------------

Operating income decreased 15.9 % to $10.9 million or 7.6% of net sales for the
nine months ended November 30, 1996 from $12.9 million or 9.9% of net sales in
the comparable period in 1995.  The decrease is primarily due to the expenses
related to the recapitalization and the decline in Medical product sales.
Adjusting for the recapitalization expenses, operating income would have
increased 2.5% to $13.3 million.

Interest Expense
----------------

Interest expense was $12.5 million for the nine months ended November 30, 1996
and $12.1 million in the comparable period in 1995.  The interest expense
increase reflects somewhat higher average balances on the Company's line of
credit.

Income Taxes
------------

The effective income tax rate was 40% for the nine months ended November 30,
1996 and 1995.

Net Income
----------

As a result of the above, net loss for the nine months ended November 30, 1996
was $978,000 compared to net income of $479,000 in the comparable period in
1995.

EBITDA
------

EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization)
decreased 9.2% to $17.8 million or 12.5% of sales for the nine months ended
November 30, 1996 from $19.6 million or 14.9% of sales in the comparable period
of 1995.  The decrease in EBITDA is attributable to the factors noted in
"Operating Income".



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESERVES
------------------------------

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $203,000 for the nine months
ended November 30, 1996 compared to cash used of $8.4 million in the same period
one year ago.  This results from improved management of net operating assets.

Working capital was $38.6 million and $27.8 million at November 30, 1996 and
February 29, 1996, respectively.

The Company invested $10.0 million in the nine months ended November 30, 1996
compared to $3.8 million in the same period in 1995.  This results primarily
from the company's expansion efforts in the Industrial division, new facilities
in Burnsville, Minnesota and investment in the Company's operations located in
China.

Cash provided by financing activities was $18.5 million compared to $11.1
million in the same period one year ago.  This results primarily from the cash
received in the preferred stock sale to MVE Investors, LLC, less the cash used
to redeem common stock by MVE Holdings, Inc. and secondarily from higher
borrowings under the revolving credit facility.  The Company is not in default
under any lending agreement nor in violation of any related covenants for which
there have not been waivers obtained.
