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 $18,085,000 and an operating profit of
$2,979,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 1998 (1999) compared to
revenues of $19,401,000 and an operating profit of $2,833,000 for the nine
months ended October 31, 1997 (1998). Revenues and operating profit for the
quarter ended October 31, 1998 were $5,549,000 and $1,211,000, respectively,
compared to revenues and operating profit for the quarter ended October 31, 1997
of $7,773,000 and $1,326,000, respectively. The decrease in revenues from year
to year and quarter to quarter was primarily associated with the switchgear
portion of the business which experienced an unusual amount of custom business
in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. In addition, shipments to its largest
customer were down on a year to year and quarter to quarter basis. The lack of
similar shipments in fiscal 1999 and the reduced sales to its largest customer
was reflected in reduced revenues and profitability for the quarter and the year
to date results. Conversely, revenues and operating profits for the computer
subsystem enclosure and power supply businesses increased quarter to quarter and
year to year. Revenues and profitability relative to the electronic
communication equipment business increased for the quarter to quarter results
but were suppressed for the year to year comparisons because of timing of
shipments under an existing U.S. Government contract. Overall operating profits
increased on the year to year comparison as a result of improved profit margins.


Net corporate expenses, comprised of interest expense and general corporate
items, were $2,036,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 1998 compared to
$1,734,000 for the nine months ended October 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 October 31, 1998, such borrowings amounted to $2,506,000
with an additional availability based on the various formulae of $510,000. The
Company's line of credit agreement and term loans with its current lender
expires in May 2001.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS -(continued):


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 $2,482,
     arising principally from net operating loss carryforwards, were partially
     offset by deferred tax liabilities and valuation allowance of $2,310 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:
