ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales:
Net sales for the third quarter and nine months ended February 28,
1997 were $4,449,473 and $7,657,221, which were increases of 30% and 4%
respectively, compared to sales for the same periods last year. The increase for
the third quarter was a result of two factors. First, there were increased
shipments of whole goods which reduced the backlog created in the second quarter
during the time the Company moved into the new facility as discussed in the
November 30, 1996 10-QSB. Secondly, incremental sales of $396,584 of Ficklin
Machine were included since the date of acquisition. The increase for the nine
month period was a result of the increases for the first and third quarters,
offset by the decrease resulting from the production shutdown during the
Company's move into the new facility during the second quarter. The majority of
the backlog difference reported in the November 30, 1996 10-QSB has been
recouped. However, orders continue to be strong as the Company enters the fourth
quarter. Backlog on March 31, 1997 was $1.5 million compared to $1.0 million on
the same date last year.
Operating Costs & Expenses:
The Company's ratio of cost of goods sold to net sales for the third
quarter ended February 28, 1997 remained constant at 68% and decreased to 69%
from 71% for the nine months ended February 28, 1997 compared to the same
periods of the previous year. The decrease is a result of fixed overhead
expenses being reduced during the production shutdown during the Company's move
to the new facility, local and federal agencies absorbing the majority of the
expenses associated with the move to the new facility, and the elimination of
the inefficiences in operating two facilities.
Operating expenses increased to $832,927 and $2,096,669 for the third
quarter and nine months ended February 28, 1997, compared to $687,957 and
$1,846,787 for the same periods last year. The increases for both periods
resulted primarily from incremental expenses from the acquisition of Ficklin
Machine and the nine month period was also increased as a result of incremental
expenses incurred from the timing of the acquisition of Clay Equipment as
previously mentioned.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest Expense:
Interest expense decreased 9% to $52,593 from $57,641 for the third
quarter and 28% to $103,785 from $143,878 for the nine months ended February 28,
1997. The decreases were due to lower levels of short-term and long-term debt
outstanding during the period.
Material Changes in Financial Position:
The Company's working capital was positively impacted by income from
operations of $217,126 combined with an approximate increase of $1,200,000 in
working capital resulting from the Ficklin Machine acquisition. These increases
were offset by equipment held for sale of $755,546, that was sold and the
proceeds used to purchase replacement fixed assets. These changes resulted in an
increase in working capital of $615,136 for the nine months ended February 28,
1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
At February 28, 1997, the Company had working capital of $4,343,926,
an increase of $1,230,013 from a year ago and an increase of $615,136 since May
31, 1996. The increase from a year ago is primarily a result of approximately
$1,200,000 of working capital picked up with the acquisition of Ficklin Machine
on January 15, 1997. The increase since May 31, 1996 is described in the changes
in financial position, above. The current ratio decreased to 2.10 from 3.43 at
May 31, 1996. The Company currently intends to continue the business of Ficklin
Machine in substantially the manner as conducted prior to the acquisition and
the Company anticipates no other significant outlays for property and equipment
in the foreseeable future. The Company believes it has access to sufficient
working capital for its present and foreseeable future.
