COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2000 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
NOVEMBER 30, 1999.

REVENUES - Revenues for the three months ended November 30, 2000 totaled $4.6
million as compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended November 30,
1999, a decrease of $1.3 million or 21%. This decrease has been a result of the
Company not securing additional contracts during the recent six-month period.
Although the Company has been involved in significant contract quoting activity
during this period, its customers have been tentative in releasing such
contracts to tooling manufacturers. This has negatively impacted both the
Company and the tooling industry as a whole. It is the Company's belief that




                                       9.
   10
based upon this quoting activity that the release of orders is imminent, however
such delays could continue as the OEM's focus on the recent decline in unit
sales as well as the effects of global mergers during the past year. The Company
believes that the OEM's are reviewing their various product platforms and plans,
on a global basis, in order to maximize and streamline model offerings within
their global platforms. As a result of these market conditions, the Company has
instituted specific cost containment measures during the first quarter. These
containments include direct labor layoffs of approximately 35 employees, a 20%
pay-cut for all salaried employees and a 10% pay-cut for all hourly employees.
The Company anticipates this decline in contract releases will also negatively
effect the Company's financial results at least through the second quarter of
2001.


COST OF SALES - Cost of sales was $4.3 million or 94% of sales for the three
months ended November 30, 2000 as compared to $4.7 million or 80% of sales for
the three months ended November 30, 1999. The decrease in gross margin was
largely due to the decrease in revenue as well as an increase in manufacturing
overhead expenses.

Direct costs expense decreased from $2.7 million in 1999 to $2.2 million in
2000, however as a percent of sales it increased from 46.0% to 47.6%. Direct
labor expense was $1.3 million in 2000 as compared to $1.4 million in 1999,
however as a percent of sales, direct labor increased from 24.7% in 1999 to
27.8% in 2000. Direct labor hours decreased by 9.0% in the first quarter of 2000
as compared to the same period last year. Direct material increased by $115,000,
while other decreases included outside machining of $125,915, services purchased
expense of $227,186 and outside patterns services expense of $90,267.

Engineering expense decreased from $415,000 for the three months ended November
30, 1999 to $343,000 for the same period this year, however as a percent of
sales engineering expense increased from 7.1% to 7.5% as a result of the
decrease in revenues in the first quarter ended November 30, 2000. The largest
decrease in engineering expense was in engineering salaries which decreased by
$54,000 as the result of the Company implementing cost containment programs.

Manufacturing overhead expense increased from $1,550,000 or 26.5% of sales for
the three months ended November 30, 1999 to $1,795,000 or 39.1% of sales for the
three months ended November 30, 2000. The largest increase in the first three
months of 2000 as compared to 1999 was the increase of $98,500 in supervision
salaries. Other increases included $53,400 in perishable tooling, $37,000 in
building rent, $26,500 in machinery repairs expense, $19,000 in property tax
expense and $12,800 in medical insurance expense.


SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling and administrative expenses
increased from $454,000 or 7.8% of sales for the three months ended November 30,
1999 to $528,000 or 11.5% of sales for the three months ended November 30, 2000.
This increase was largely due to increases of $34,000 in legal and professional
fees and $55,000 in public company costs. These increases were a result of the
Company expensing such costs in the second quarter of last year as compared to
the first quarter this year.


INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2000
was approximately $241,000 as compared to approximately $205,000 for the three
months ended November 30, 1999. As a percentage of sales, interest expense
increased from 3.5% in the quarter ended November 30, 1999 as compared to 5.2%
for the quarter ended November 30, 2000.


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES




                                      10.
   11
The effective federal income tax rate was 34% for the three months ended
November 30, 1999 and 2000. As of August 31, 2000, the Company had approximately
$542,000 of a net operating loss carryforward which will expire in fiscal 2020,
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, 2000, the Company's cash from
operating activities was $786,022. From investing activities, the Company
acquired additional machinery and equipment of $250,395. From financing
activities, the Company used $495,990 to reduce long-term debt and $120,202 to
reduce its 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 2001. 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.
