THE MATTERS DISCUSSED IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q CONTAIN CERTAIN
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. FOR THIS PURPOSE, ANY STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS
REPORT THAT ARE NOT STATEMENTS OF HISTORICAL FACT MAY BE DEEMED TO BE
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WORDS SUCH AS "MAY,"
"WILL," "EXPECT," BELIEVE," "ANTICIPATE," "UNDERSTANDING," OR "CONTINUE," THE
NEGATIVE OR OTHER VARIATION THEREOF, OR COMPARABLE TERMINOLOGY, ARE INTENDED TO
IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS BY THEIR NATURE INVOLVE
SUBSTANTIAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, AND ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY
DEPENDING UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING CONTINUED MARKET DEMAND FOR THE
TYPES OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PRODUCED AND SOLD BY THE COMPANY.

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2001 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
NOVEMBER 30, 2000.

REVENUES - Revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2001 totaled $3.4
million as compared to $4.6 million for the three months ended November 30,
2000, a decrease of $1.2 million or 27%. This was a result of the decrease in
market demand for automotive tooling systems during the past eighteen months. In
addition, limited contracts have been released during this period and of those
contracts that were released, most were competitively bid and resulted in
extreme erosion of contract pricing. These factors continue to lower contract
revenue as well as contract margins during fiscal 2002. The Company, in securing
new contracts during fiscal 2001 and the first quarter of 2002, utilized a
strategy of bidding on contracts at rates that would maintain contribution
margin if such was awarded to the Company.

                                       8.



As a result of these market conditions, the Company has instituted specific cost
containment measures. These containments include direct labor layoffs of
approximately 75 employees or 45% of the normal workforce and suspension of the
Company's matching contribution to the Company 401(K) Plan for all employees.
The Company anticipates the decline in contract releases will also negatively
effect the Company's financial results at least through 2002.

COST OF SALES - Cost of sales was $3.5 million or 105% of sales for the three
months ended November 30, 2001 as compared to $4.3 million or 94% of sales for
the three months ended November 30, 2000. The decrease in gross margin was
largely due to the decrease in revenue as well as erosion of contract pricing
during the past eighteen months. The Company continues to review and lower all
fixed expenses where applicable in order to maintain the lowest possible cost
rate.

Direct costs expense decreased from $2.2 million in 2000 to $1.6 million in
2001, however as a percent of sales it increased from 47.6% to 48.3%. Direct
labor expense was $0.9 million in 2001 as compared to $1.3 million in 2000,
however as a percent of sales, direct labor expense remained consistent at 28%.
The Company incurred 41,400 shop floor hours during the first quarter of 2002 as
compared to 63,600 during the same period of 2001, a decrease of 22,200 hours or
35%. This decrease was a direct result of lower contract levels during the first
quarter of 2002. Other direct cost decreases included $181,000 in direct
material expense and $40,000 in outside service expenses.

Engineering expense decreased from $343,000 for the three months ended November
30, 2000 to $322,000 for the same period this year, however as a percent of
sales engineering expense increased from 7.5% to 9.6% as a result of the
decrease in revenues in the first quarter ended November 30, 2001. The largest
decrease in engineering expense was $19,500 in engineering salaries as a result
of the Company decreasing its engineering headcount.

Manufacturing overhead expense decreased from $1,795,000 or 39.1% of sales for
the three months ended November 30, 2000 to $1,600,000 or 47.6% of sales for the
three months ended November 30, 2001. The largest increase in the first three
months of 2001 as compared to 2000 was the increase of $32,000 in building rent
and property taxes expense. This increase was a result of the expiration of a
sublease for space in the Company's facility in 2001. This increase was offset
by decreases of $127,000 in labor and payroll taxes, $39,000 in medical
insurance expense, $38,000 in manufacturing supplies and perishable tooling
expense.

SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling and administrative expenses
decreased from $528,000 or 11.5% of sales for the three months ended November
30, 2000 to $466,000 or 13.8% of sales for the three months ended November 30,
2001. This decrease was largely due to decreases of $58,000 in State of Michigan
Single Business Tax, $34,000 in public company costs, $30,000 in charitable
contributions, and $15,000 in director fees. These decreases were offset by
increases of $45,000 in legal and professional fees, $18,000 in technology
expense, and $9,000 in selling travel expenses.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2001
was approximately $168,000 as compared to approximately $241,000 for the three
months ended November 30, 2000. As a percentage of sales, interest expense
decreased from 5.2% in the quarter ended November 30, 2000 to 5.0% for the
quarter ended November 30, 2001. This was a result of lower debt levels as well
as lower interest rates during the quarter ended November 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period last year.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
For the three months ended November 30, 2001, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of $277,367 to offset the income tax benefit. As of November 30, 2001,
the Company had approximately $3,091,000 of net operating loss


                                       9.




carryfowards which will expire in fiscal 2020 through 2022, if unused, as well
as $155,000 of alternative minimum tax credits that do not expire.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the three months ended November 30, 2001, the Company's cash used in
operating activities was $2,142,000. This largely resulted from increases of
$1,007,000 in accounts receivable and $494,000 in contracts in process. From
investing activities, the Company acquired additional machinery and equipment of
$14,000. From financing activities, the Company used $496,990 to reduce
long-term debt and borrowed an additional $2,370,000 on the revolving working
capital credit line. The Company believes that the unused portion of the
revolving bank working capital credit line and the funds generated from
operations will be sufficient to cover anticipated cash needs through fiscal
2002. However, depending on the level of future sales, an expanded credit line
may be necessary to finance increases in trade accounts receivable and contracts
in process. The Company believes it will be able to obtain such expanded credit
line, if required, on generally the same terms as the existing credit line.
