2. Earnings per common share are based on net income divided by the weighted

   per common share is based on net loss divided by the weighted average number
   of common shares outstanding. Weighted average number of common shares
   outstanding was approximately 1,943,525 in 1996 and 1995, adjusted for a
   one-for-four reverse stock split effected on December 26, 1995.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               September 30, 1996


                     Material Changes in Financial Condition

Working capital increased to $6,703,733 at September 30 from $5,900,027 at March
31. Accounts payable - trade decreased due to a lower level of inventory
purchases in September than in March. The Company paid $37,076 to participants
in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan for 9,269 shares of common stock as
distributions upon termination of the Plan. The common stock shares purchased
were retired.

The Company has a loan and security agreement with First National Bank of Ohio
("FNBO") providing for borrowings under a line of credit expiring on August 31,
1998. The agreement provides for borrowings up to $8,000,000 based on eligible
accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is at FNBO's prime rate minus
1/2%. The Company could have borrowed approximately $698,511 more than the
$6,926,679 owed to FNBO at September 30, 1996. Although no assurances are
possible, the Company believes that its cash resources, credit arrangements, and
internally generated funds will be sufficient to meet its operating and capital
expenditure requirements for existing operations and to service its debt in the
next 12 months and foreseeable future.

The Company's sales order backlog for new trailers was approximately $2,700,000
and $5,000,000 at September 30 and May 31, 1996, respectively. The decline in
the backlog is due mainly to a decline in industry demand.

                    Material Changes in Results of Operations

               SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE
                       SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net sales increased 25.5% mainly due to increased volume of platform and dump
trailers. The startup of the Kent facility in June 1995 resulted in lower sales
in the six months ended September 30, 1995. The gross profit margin increased to
14.3% from 9.3% due mainly to startup costs at the Kent facility in 1995.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 9.0% from 9.9% of net
sales as net sales increased at a greater rate than selling, general and
administrative expenses. Interest expense increased mainly due to more debt
outstanding during the period ended September 30, 1996 versus the period ended
September 30, 1995 and capitalization of interest expense for the Kent facility
in the 1995 period. Loss on disposal of equipment is due mainly to exiting the
utility trailer business due to the Company's inability to achieve
profitability.


              THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE
                      THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Net sales increased 18.5% mainly due to increased volume of platform and dump
trailers. The startup of the Kent facility in June 1995 resulted in lower sales
in the quarter ended June 30, 1995. The gross profit margin increased to 14.7%
from 6.1% due mainly to startup costs at the Kent facility in 1995. Selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 8.5% from 9.6% of net sales as
net sales increased at a greater rate than selling, general and administrative
expenses.
