                       Notes to Condensed Consolidated 
                       Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                               January 31, 1995

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three
month period ended January 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
included in the Company's annual report to shareholders for the year ended
October 31, 1994.

Note B - Net Income per Share

Net income per share for the three months ended January 31, 1995 and 1994
is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent
shares outstanding of 3,370,632 and 3,567,999, respectively.  Common
equivalent shares represent common stock options as computed based on the
treasury stock method.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are
substantially the same for each of the periods presented.

Note C - Long-Term Debt

In December 1994, the Company retired the outstanding balance of the
Industrial Development Refunding Revenue Bonds with proceeds generated upon
restructuring its existing bank term loan.  As a result, the balance of the
term loan increased from $865,091 at October 31, 1994 to $2,768,088.  The
restructured term loan bears interest at 1.75% above the bank's prime rate

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues increased 34% in the first quarter of 1995 to $15.3 million from
$11.4 million in the first quarter of 1994.  The increase in revenues was
generated primarily by the Company's defense subsidiary, Engineered Air
Systems, Inc. (EASI).  After several years of significant first article
testing and development, EASI is now in full production on several major
contracts, primarily its MA-3D and C-5 flight line air conditioners.

Gross profit for the first quarter of 1995 increased $0.5 million, or 27%,
over the amount for the comparable 1994 period primarily reflecting an
increase in production volume at EASI.  The gross margin for the first
quarter of 1995 was 14.4% as compared to 15.2% for the first quarter of
1994.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $1.45 million and $1.54
million in the first quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The 5%
decrease in 1995 is due to expense reductions at ESP.

Net interest expense increased $51,000, or 33%, in the first quarter of
1995 as compared with the first quarter of 1994.  This was primarily the
result of increased borrowing levels due to significant capital
expenditures by ESP in 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At January 31, 1995, the Company's working capital and ratio of current
assets to current liabilities were $3.6 million and 1.34 to 1 as compared
to $3.1 million and 1.24 to 1 at October 31, 1994.  This improvement is
primarily a result of the impact of quarterly earnings.  As of January 31,
1995, the Company had $2.3 million of unused credit related to its loan
agreement.

Business and Market Considerations

As of January 31, 1995, EASI's funded backlog of defense orders was $92
million compared to $59 million a year ago.  Options to existing contracts
total approximately $130 million as of the end of the first quarter.

Historically, the Company has been heavily dependent on the U.S. Government
for business.  However, because of declining defense budgets and increased
competition within the current defense market, the Company began a plan of
diversification in 1993 with the acquisition of ESP.  This acquisition
provided expansion into the commercial marketplace.  Management intends to
continue to pursue new acquisitions and business opportunities to
complement existing product lines and provide strategic diversification.
