have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the nine month period ended January 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
April 30, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1999.
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated
allowable useful lives (5 to 31.5 years), utilizing both the
straight-line and declining balance methods. Expenditures for major
renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of fixed assets
are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and ordinary repairs
are charged to expense as incurred.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market determined on
the First-in, First-out basis.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed under Subchapter C of the
Internal Revenue Code. For income tax purposes, depreciation is
computed using the accelerated cost recovery method and the modified
accelerated cost recovery system.
Deferred Taxes
The Company incurs a timing difference in depreciation expense
due to the difference in depreciation methods used for financial
and income purposes. Due to its immateriality, no deferred tax
adjustment is made.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiary. The consolidation was treated
as a reverse acquisition.
Earnings Per Share
Primary earnings per common share are computed by dividing the
net income by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the three
months ended January 31, 2000 and January 31, 1999.
Customer Deposits
The Company collects deposits from various customers for custom
designed equipment and for certain large orders. The deposits are
collected while the equipment is being designed and manufactured and
are shown as a liability when collected. These funds become revenues
when the equipment is completed and shipped to the customer.
Note 2 - Vendor Deposits
The Company has, from time to time, funds deposited with foreign
and/or domestic vendors as pre-payments for purchased equipment.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended January 31, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended
January 31, 1997
Total sales of the Company for the three months ended January 31, 2000
increased by $ 4,395 from sales for the three month period ended
January 31, 1999.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $ 262 and the gross profit increased
by $ 4,657 for the three month period ended January 31, 2000 as
compared to the three month period ended January 31, 1999.
Gross profit margin for the three month period ended January 31, 2000
was 36.2%. This result represents an increase from the company's prior
year quarterly period margin of 35.6%.
General and administrative expenses increased by $8,918 for the three
month period ended January 31, 2000 as compared to the three month
period ended January 31, 1999. This increase was due in large part
to increase in employee headcount.
The increase in sales revenue and general expenses resulted in the
Company realizing a net income from operations of $50,976 for the
three months ended January 31, 2000 as compared to an net income of
$ 59,407 for the three months ended January 31, 1999.
The Company realized a net after tax profit of $ 25,098 for the fiscal
quarter ended January 31, 2000 compared with a net profit of $36,745
for the three months ended January 31, 1999.
Nine Months Ended January 31, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended
January 31, 1999
Total sales of the Company for the nine months ended January 31, 2000 decreased
by $ 202,072 from sales for the nine month period ended January 31, 1999.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $ 145,765 and gross profit decreased by
$56,307 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2000 as compared to
the nine month period ended January 31, 1999. Gross profit margin for the
latest nine month period was 30.5%. The current period margin is slightly
higher than the company's historic aggregate margins of 27% to 30%.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $46,419 for the nine month
period ended January 31, 2000 as compared to the nine month period ended
January 31, 1999.
The decrease in sales revenue combined with the decrease in General and
Administrative expenses resulted in the Company realizing a net
income from operations of $197,811 for the nine months ended January 31,
2000 as compared to an net income of $ 207,698 for the nine months ended
January 31, 1999.
The Company realized a net after tax profit of $ 122,609 for the fiscal
quarter ended January 31, 2000 compared with a net profit of $138,483 for
the nine months ended January 31, 1999.
<PAGE 11>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has in recent years financed its operations primarily with
operating revenues and loans from various lenders, some of whom are
affiliates, and from the proceeds of exercises in 1993 of Warrants to
purchase its Common Stock.
The Company anticipates that revenues from its operations will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash requirements for operations
during the next 12 months, except to the extent that increasing orders
and sales may require temporary borrowings to finance such expansion and
related costs of employee compensation and inventory build-up. No assurance
can be given, however, that additional debt or equity financing will not
be required or will be available if required.
