ITEM 2

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

Results of operations:
----------------------

In the following commentary, "operating profit" is total revenue less operating
expenses. In computing operating profit, none of the following items has been
added or deducted: general corporate expenses, corporate interest expense,
corporate interest income and income taxes.

The Company reported revenues of $12,536,000 and an operating profit of
$1,768,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1998 (1999) compared to revenues of
$11,628,000 and an operating profit of $1,507,000 for the six months ended July
31, 1997 (1998). Revenues and operating profit for the quarter ended July 31,
1998 were $6,392,000 and $937,000, respectively, compared to revenues and
operating profit for the quarter ended July 31, 1997 of $5,921,000 and $757,000,
respectively. The increase in revenues from year to year and quarter to quarter
was experienced across the board for all elements of the energy conversion
products group, while revenues for the electronic communications equipment
business was down due to the timing of the placement of a new order against an
existing U.S. Government contract. The new order is expected to ship in the
third and fourth quarters of this fiscal year. The profitability increase was
primarily attributable to a better mix of product at the switchgear operations
and the overall increase in revenues.

Net corporate expenses, comprised of interest expense and general corporate
items, were $1,287,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1998 compared to
$1,124,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1997. The increase in corporate
expenses, year to year, is primarily associated with the Company's refinancing
of its revolving credit arrangement and long-term bank debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
--------------------------------

During FY 1999 and FY 1998 the operations of the Company and its subsidiary were
financed by lending institutions under various formulae which provide operating
funds as required. Such borrowings are primarily in the form of short-term
loans, secured by assignment of accounts receivable and inventories. Under the
various formulae, borrowings are limited to varying percentages and maximum
dollar amounts of accounts receivable and inventories with a maximum limitation
of $6,500,000. As of July 31, 1998, such borrowings amounted to $2,418,000 with
an additional availability based on the various formulae of $896,000. The
Company's line of credit agreement and term loans with its current lender
expires in May 2001.

At this time, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures
although the Company is pursuing several acquisitions which, if successful, will
require the outlay of additional cash. Cash requirements for the current fiscal
year should increase by ten percent due to the anticipated increase in business
activity. Based upon the availability of funds under its existing financing
arrangements, the Company deems its liquidity to be adequate.

Note 2 - STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

     Effective February 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting
     for income taxes by adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     No. 109 (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 109 the deferred tax provision is
     determined under the liability method. Deferred tax assets of $2,625,
     arising principally from net operating loss carryforwards, were partially
     offset by deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance of $2,453 in
     accordance with guidelines established under SFAS No. 109. The Company will
     periodically review and adjust the valuation allowance as needed.

     Differences between the statutory federal income tax rate and the effective
     tax rate are accounted for as follows:
