ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
===========================================================
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Three Months Ended August 31, 1998 Compared With Three Months
Ended August 31, 1997
- -------------------------------------------------------------
During the third quarter ended August 31, 1998, net sales increased by
19.3% to $44,419,000 compared to $37,238,000 for the like period in 1997.
This increase is due primarily to an overall increase in demand from improving
economic conditions and is represented by solid growth across substantially
all product lines and markets. Sales through Juno's Canadian subsidiary
increased 11.3% to $2,642,000 compared to $2,374,000.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 48.6% for the
quarter, compared to 49.6% for the like period in 1997 due to increased
productivity, stable raw material costs and benefits from the redesign and
retooling of high volume parts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a percentage
of sales decreased to 25.7% for the third quarter of 1998 compared with 28.3%
for the like period in 1997 due primarily to economies of scale associated
with the sales increase. In addition, the third quarter of 1997 included
one-time charges of approximately $700,000 to repair defective components in
certain exit and emergency lighting fixtures.
As a result of the above factors, operating income increased to 25.7% of
sales as compared to 22.1% for the like period in 1997.
Nine Months Ended August 31, 1998 Compared With Nine Months
Ended August 31, 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------
During the nine month period ended August 31, 1998, net sales increased
15.2% to $119,651,000 compared to $103,874,000 for the like period in 1997.
Sales increases were due primarily to increases in demand from improved
economic conditions.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 49.8% compared
to 51.7% for the like period in 1997. This decrease is due primarily to
increased productivity, stable raw material costs and benefits resulting from
the redesign and retooling of high volume parts.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 27.4% as compared to 28.6% in 1997 due to economies of scale
associated with the increase in sales as well as the factors cited above
regarding one-time charges to repair certain exit and emergency lighting
fixtures in 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)
=========================================================
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
- -------------------------------
During the nine month period ended August 31, 1998, the Company
generated positive net cash flow from operating activities of $13,392,000.
This was comprised principally of net income, depreciation and amortization, a
decrease in prepaid expenses and an increase in accounts payable,
(collectively aggregating $25,528,000), net of increases in accounts
receivable of $6,204,000 and inventory of $4,867,000. The Company used the
net cash provided from operating activities to finance capital expenditures of
$3,776,000 and pay dividends of $5,013,000. The Company generated positive
cash flow of $4,605,000 from the sale of the building that formerly served as
the Company's principal corporate office and assembly facility. This building
was previously classified in miscellaneous other assets. The cash flow from
the sale of the facility along with positive cash flow from operating
activities permitted the Company to increase its investment portfolio by
$10,297,000.
On September 1, 1998, the Company announced the declaration of a cash
dividend of 9 cents per share payable October 15, 1998, to shareholders of
record September 15, 1998. The Board of Directors intends to maintain regular
quarterly dividends at the same rate. Management believes that the existing
level of working capital is adequate for the Company's liquidity needs
currently and in the foreseeable future. It is currently anticipated that
future working capital requirements and capital expenditures will be met by
internally generated funds.
OTHER MATTERS
- -------------
The Company has been assessing its "Year 2000" readiness and exposure to
Year 2000 issues. Partly in connection with such assessment, the Company
initiated a program to upgrade its systems hardware and software. The
Company's assessment has been focused on information technology systems but
has included a limited review of non-information technology systems,
principally imbedded building and facility systems. The Company entered into
an agreement to acquire new enterprise system software and certain related
consulting services. The vendor has advised the Company that the system is
Year 2000 compliant. The Company anticipates implementing and testing a
portion of the new system in the fourth calendar quarter of 1998 and the
balance in the first calendar quarter of 1999. The Company has also solicited
confirmation from its principal vendors that such vendors are Year 2000
compliant.
<PAGE 12>
The Company believes that the principal cost of addressing the Company's
Year 2000 issues are costs associated with implementing its new enterprise
system. Through August 31, 1998, the Company incurred costs of approximately
$2,170,000 with respect to such system and estimates that it will incur
approximately an additional $1,060,000 with respect to such system. However,
no assurance can be given as to the ultimate costs that may be incurred with
respect to such system or Year 2000 matters.
The failure of one or more of the Company's systems to be Year 2000
compliant or of the Company's vendors or customers to be Year 2000 compliant
could (i) prevent the Company from engaging in its normal business operations
for a time period, (ii) cause the Company to resort to alternate or manual
processes and incur material additional expenses to correct or replace deficient
systems and (iii) have a material effect on the Company's results of operation,
liquidity and financial condition; although the ultimate impact of such events
is uncertain. Based on its assessment of its principal information technology
systems, including the advice of its enterprise systems vendor, the Company
believes that its material systems will be Year 2000 compliant. However, the
impact of the failure of such systems to be compliant is uncertain and the
Company is unable to determine its most reasonably likely worst case scenario.
The Company has not undertaken and does not anticipate undertaking to further
analyze the uncertainty or to develop a plan to address this uncertainty or
the potential that the Company or its vendors or customers fail to be Year
2000 compliant.
This document contains various forward-looking statements. Statements
in this document that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Such
statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to vary materially from those stated. Such risks and
uncertainties include: economic conditions generally; levels of construction
and remodeling activities, the ability to improve manufacturing efficiencies,
disruption in manufacturing or distribution, product and price competition,
raw material prices, the ability to develop and successfully introduce new
products, technology changes, patent issues, exchange rate fluctuations, the
effects of technological difficulties including remediation of Year 2000
compliance issues, and other risks and uncertainties. The Company undertakes
no obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result
of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to
reflect future events or developments.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings - On September 8, 1997, Juno Lighting, Inc.
("Juno") was served with a complaint for patent infringement alleged by
Mr. Ole K. Nilssen (Case No. 97 C 4624 in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of Illinois). In his complaint,
Mr. Nilssen alleges that Juno has infringed seven of Mr. Nilssen's
patents and seeks a permanent injunction against Juno's sale of products
utilizing the inventions claimed by such patents and unspecified
monetary damages including a request for treble damages. These patents
relate variously to low-voltage, high frequency power supplies for
lighting systems and to so-called track lighting systems incorporating
such low-voltage high frequency power supplies. Juno has filed an
answer and counterclaim denying the allegations of the complaint and
asserting a number of affirmative defenses and prayers for declaratory
relief.
