   The Company must comply with certain  financial  covenants in connection with
its long-term debt,  including the maintenance of certain  financial  ratios and
restrictions  on dividends.  The Company was out of compliance with one of these
financial  covenants at November  30,  1996,  and has received a waiver for this
violation covering an indefinite time period.

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Net earnings per share is computed  using the  weighted  average  number of
shares of common stock outstanding for the period. When dilutive,  stock options
and warrants are included as share  equivalents using the treasury stock method.
In  calculating  net  earnings  per share,  preferred  dividends  of $23,916 and
$22,293 reduced the net earnings available to common  stockholders for the three
months  ended  November  30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Fully  diluted  net
earnings  per common  share is not  significantly  different  from  primary  net
earnings per common share.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations
         
     This  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q  contains  certain  forward-looking
statements that  involve risks  and uncertainties.  Discussions containing  such
forward-looking  statements may  be found  in the  materials set  forth below in
'Management's Discussion  and Analysis  of Financial  Condition and  Results  of
Operations.'  The Company's  actual results  could differ  materially from those
anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended
November 30, 1995 and November 30, 1996

   Contract  revenue  decreased  8.4% to $6.6 million for the three months ended
November  30, 1996 from $7.3  million for the three  months  ended  November 30,
1995.  The decrease is the result of decreases  in revenue from  industrial  gas
trailers,  large  horizontal  storage  tanks  and LNG  fueling  stations,  which
decreased $466,000, $433,000 and $198,000,  respectively, over the corresponding
period in the prior year. The Company does not believe that these decreases  are
indicative  of  a  long-term  trend.  These  decreases  were  offset somewhat by
increased  revenues  from  TVAC'r'  intermodal  containers  and  spares,   which
increased  $285,000  and  $234,000,  respectively,  over  the corresponding 1995
period.

   Gross profit for the three months ended November 30, 1996 increased  22.1% to
$1.6  million,  or 24.1% of contract  revenue,  from $1.3  million,  or 18.1% of
contract revenue, for the three months ended November 30, 1995. The gross profit
improved  despite the  reduction  in revenue due to increased  gross  margins in
most product categories, particularly industrial trailers.

   Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased 27.0% to $889,000 for
the three  months  ended  November  30, 1996 from  $700,000 for the three months
ended  November 30, 1995,  and increased as a percentage of contract  revenue to
13.4% from 9.6%  during the same  period.  This  increase  is  primarily  due to
increased sales expenses, as well as additional  depreciation expense related to
computer and communication  equipment.  Research and development costs decreased
to $161,000 for the three months ended  November 30, 1996 from  $202,000 for the
three months ended  November 30 1995.  This  decrease is primarily the result of
the decrease in expenditures for the Company's TADOPTR development. Amortization
expense  decreased to $61,000 for the three months ended  November 30, 1996 from
$86,000 for the three months ended  November 30, 1995, as these costs were fully
amortized at August 31, 1996.

   Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 1996 increased 15.3%
to $272,000  from  $236,000 for the three months ended  November 30, 1995.  This
increase is due to increased  levels of borrowing offset somewhat by lower rates
of interest.  Other  non-operating  items were virtually unchanged from the same
period of the prior year.

   Income tax expense  increased to $84,000 for the three months ended  November
30, 1996 from $34,000 for the three months ended  November 30, 1995. The expense
in both years is the result of taxable  income  for the  periods  and  estimated
annual tax rates.


                                       11







   The  resulting  net income  increased  to $143,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 1996 from  $60,000 for the  corresponding  prior year period.  This
improvement is the result of the cumulative effect of the above factors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At November 30, 1996, the Company's  working capital was $9.2 million,  which
represented  a  current  ratio  of 2.8 to 1.  Also,  the  Company's  outstanding
indebtedness  under the Credit Agreement with FBS Business  Finance  Corporation
("FBS") was $7.2 million,  of which $576,000  represented term  indebtedness and
$6.7 million  represented  revolving  indebtedness.  At November  30, 1996,  the
Company's  outstanding  indebtedness to The CIT Group/Equity  Investments,  Inc.
("CIT") was $1.4 million which represented subordinated indebtedness.

   Cash flow from  operations  for the three  months  ended  November  30,  1996
resulted in cash provided in the amount of $992,000 compared to cash provided of
$959,000  in the same  period of the prior  year.  In the  current  three  month
period,  cash was provided by net income and by decreases in accounts receivable
and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.
These  increases  in cash  were  somewhat  offset  by cash  used  for  increased
inventories and decreased accounts payable.

   The Company must comply with certain  financial  covenants in connection with
its long-term debt,  including the maintenance of certain  financial  ratios and
restrictions  on dividends.  The Company was out of compliance with one of these
financial covenants at November 30, 1996, and has received a waiver from FBS for
this violation covering an indefinite time period.

   The Company believes that its existing capital resources,  together with cash
flow from future  operations  will be  sufficient to meet its short term working
capital  needs.  Additional  financing  may be required for future  expansion of
operations, as necessary.
