ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 16, 1996 (the
"Stock Purchase Agreement"), the Registrant acquired effective September 1,
1996, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, all of the outstanding capital stock of
Trilectron Industries, Inc. ("Trilectron"), from Sigmund Borax, Trilectron's
sole shareholder. In consideration of this acquisition, the Registrant paid
$6,200,000 in cash to the seller and an aggregate of $800,000 to certain key
executives of Trilectron, which purchase price was determined through
arms-length negotiations.

Trilectron is a manufacturer of ground power, air conditioning and air start
equipment for civil and military aircraft and a designer and manufacturer of
certain military electronics.

In connection with this acquisition, the Registrant guaranteed $2,264,000 of
Trilectron's bank indebtedness. The Registrant also entered into employment and
non-competition agreements with two of Trilectron's key executives.

The source of the cash purchase price was internally generated operating funds
of the Registrant and the proceeds of the recent sale by the Registrant of its
medical diagnostic imaging business.

  /BULLET/        The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet

                  Inc. had been consummated as of that date.

  /BULLET/        The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of
                  operations for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 assumes

                  capital stock of Trilectron Industries, Inc. had been
                  consummated as of the beginning of the nine-month period ended

  /BULLET/        The unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed statement of

                  stock of Trilectron Industries, Inc. had been consummated as
                  of the beginning of the year ended October 31, 1995.

                   CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      for the nine months ended July 31, 1996 that includes the two months ended
      December 31, 1995.  The two months ended December 31, 1995 have also been
      included in the pro forma year ended October 31, 1995 due to the Company's
      year end of October 31 and Trilectron's Industries, Inc.'s year end of
      December 31.  The effect of the difference in these reporting periods is
      not reflected in the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements
      of Operations and the Company believes this difference is not significant.

4.    Represents the Company's consolidated statement of operations from the
      report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1995, as adjusted to

5.    Represents Trilectron Industries, Inc.'s audited statement of operations
      for the year ended December 31, 1995.

      to the acquisition and estimated acquisition costs.

7.    The decrease in accounts receivable and inventories, which are to record
      allowances utilizing the Company's methodology, as well as the increase in
      property, plant and equipment to reflect their fair market values and the
      excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired from the
      acquisition. The origins of the purchase cost and its allocation to assets
      and liabilities is as follows:

    Purchase costs:
       Cash paid to seller...............................        $6,200,000
       Cash bonus obligations paid at closing............           800,000
       Estimated acquisition costs.......................           400,000
                                                                 ----------
          Total purchase costs...........................        $7,400,000
                                                                 ==========

    Allocations of purchase costs:
       Accounts receivable...............................        $2,708,000
       Inventories.......................................         6,890,000

       Other assets......................................             3,000
       Liabilities.......................................        (5,312,000)
                                                                 ----------
          Subtotal.......................................         4,789,000

       Excess of costs over the fair value

          of net assets acquired.........................         2,611,000
                                                                 ----------
       Total allocation of purchase costs................        $7,400,000
                                                                 ==========

      to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 9.   The elimination of Trilectron's common stock, capital in excess of par
      value and retained earnings.

                                       -7-






10.   The increase in depreciation and amortization expense to properly
      reflect the allocation of the purchase costs as required per purchase
      accounting. Property, plant and equipment is to be depreciated over 7
      years under the straight-line method. Excess of costs over the fair
      value of net assets acquired is to be amortized over 20 years.

11.   The elimination of investment income from the $7.4 million cash used for
      the acquisition.

12.   The incremental Federal and state income taxes associated with the
      increase in pre-tax income from the acquisition.

13.   Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
      outstanding have been adjusted from the originally reported amount to
      reflect a three-for-two stock split paid in April 1996 and a 10% stock
      dividend paid in July 1996.

                                       -8-
