MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND QUARTERLY RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


During 1990, the Company concluded a private placement of $15,000,000 in term
notes, of which $6,563,000 was outstanding as of April 30, 1996. These notes
are unsecured with a fixed interest rate of 10.4 percent. The notes mature
through June 1997, with the next payment of $2,813,000 due in June 1996.

In October 1995, the Company entered into a $15,000,000 revolving line of
credit agreement with a major domestic bank. As of April 30, 1996, the Company
did not have borrowings outstanding under this line.



The Company's ability to satisfy its cash requirements is evaluated by
analyzing key measures of liquidity applicable to the Company. The following
table is a summary of the measures which are significant to management:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
April 30, October 31, April 30,
1996 1995 1995
<S> <C> <C> <C>
Working Capital $47,145,000 $42,374,000 $42,109,000
Current Ratio 2.19 to 1 2.35 to 1 2.38 to 1
Debt to Capitalization .10 to 1 .10 to 1 .15 to 1
</TABLE>



The consolidated statements of cash flows show that approximately $95,000 of
cash was generated during the six months ended April 30, 1996. The increases
in accounts receivable requiring the use of cash was due to the increased
volume of business and product shipment delays. Increases in billings in
excess of costs and estimated earnings and accounts payable had a positive
effect on the Company's cash flow during the quarter. The use of cash for
capital expenditures during the six months of 1996 was $1,366,000 which was
mainly invested in machinery and equipment.

The Company's fiscal 1996 asset management program will continue to focus on
the collection of receivables and reduction in inventories. The Company plans
to satisfy its fiscal 1996 capital requirements and operating needs primarily
with funds available in cash and cash equivalents of $3,130,000, funds
generated from operating activities and funds available under its existing
revolving credit line.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following table sets forth, as a percentage of revenues, certain items from
the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

</TABLE>


Revenues for the quarter ended April 30, 1996 were up 29 percent to $53,521,000
from $41,398,000 in the second quarter of last year. Revenues for the six
months ended April 30, 1996 were up 32 percent to $103,090,000 from $77,987,000
in the first six months of last year. This increase in volume was due to
higher electrical distribution equipment product line revenues which were
partially offset by lower revenues from process control product lines.

Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues, was 23.5 percent and 21.6 percent
for the quarters ended April 30, 1996 and 1995. The gross profit percentage
for the six months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 was 22.2 percent and 21.2
percent, respectively. The higher percents in 1996 were due to changes in
product mix shipped during 1996 and efficiencies due to the increased volume of
activity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was
15.7 percent and 16 percent for the quarters ended April 30, 1996 and 1995.
These percentages for the six months ended April 30, 1996 and 1995 were 15.6
percent and 16.6 percent. The change in percent reflects the effect of higher
revenue volume without a corresponding increase in expenses.

Interest, net is lower in 1996 than in 1995 due to the scheduled annual
reduction in outstanding debt.

Income tax provision The effective tax rate was 35.2 percent and 33.1 percent
for the quarters ended April 30, 1996 and 1995. For the six months ended April
30, 1996 and 1995 the effective tax rate was 35.4 percent and 31.7 percent
respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher foreign sales
corporation credits in the previous year and the higher projected tax rate for
1996 due to an increased level of taxable income.

Net earnings were $2,643,000 or $.25 per share for the second quarter of fiscal
1996, an increase of 81 percent from $1,458,000 or $.14 per share for the same
period last year. For the six months ended April 30, 1996, net earnings were
$4,326,000 or $.40 per share, compared with $2,261,000 or $.21 per share for
the first six months of fiscal 1995, an increase of 91 percent. The increases
for the two quarters of 1996 were mainly due to the higher revenue volumes.


The order backlog at April 30, 1996 was $130.4 million compared to $112.6
million at October 31, 1995.
