COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2002 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MAY
31, 2001.

REVENUES - Revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2002 totaled $3.7 million
as compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended May 31, 2001,



                                       8.



an increase of $1.4 million or 61%. This is a result of increased backlog of
contracts and related revenue from such backlog. During the third quarter of
2002 the Company incurred 49,140 shop floor hours, an increase of 9,109 hours or
23% over the third quarter of 2001. This quarterly increase represents the first
increase since the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2000.
Since the fourth quarter of 2000, the market demand for automotive tooling
systems has declined. During this period limited contracts have been released
and of those contracts that were released, most were competitively bid and
resulted in erosion of contract pricing. These factors resulted in the Company
having lower contract revenue as well as contract margins during fiscal 2001 and
2002.

During the third quarter of 2002, the Company received letters of intent and
orders for approximately $17.6 million, bringing the estimated contract backlog
to $21.7 million, as of May 31, 2002, as compared to $9.3 million as of May 31,
2001. These letter of intents represent approximately $16.0 million of the
estimated contract backlog where the Company and its customer are finalizing the
terms of the purchase order.


COST OF SALES - Cost of sales was $3.6 million or 96% of sales for the three
months ended May 31, 2002 as compared to $3.1 million or 137% of sales for the
same period last year. The increase in gross margin was largely due to the
Company's increase in contracts and utilization.

2002, as a percent of sales it decreased from 60% to 42%. Direct labor expense
was $0.9 million in 2002 as compared to $0.7 million in 2001, as a percent of
sales, direct labor expense decreased from 31% in 2001 to 24% in 2002. The
Company incurred 49,140 shop floor hours during the third quarter of 2002 as
compared to 40,031 during the same period of 2001, an increase of 9,109 hours or
23%. Other direct costs decreased from $857,000 in 2001 to $689,000 in 2002, as
a percent of sales it decreased from 29% to 19%.

Engineering expense increased from $280,000 for the third quarter of 2001 to
$424,000 for the third quarter of 2002, however as a percent of sales
engineering expense decreased from 12% to 11%. The increase in engineering
expense was largely in salaries and related payroll taxes. This was a result of
the Company increasing its' design and engineering personnel to meet the
requirements of the increased backlog.

Manufacturing overhead expense increased from $1,495,000 or 65% of sales for the
third quarter of 2001 to $1,580,000 or 43% of sales for the third quarter of
2002. The largest increases in the third quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001
included $32,000 in machinery repair and maintenance expense, $26,000 in
perishable tooling expense, $15,000 on insurance expense and $11,000 in indirect

increased from $427,000 or 19% of sales for the third quarter of 2001 to
$441,000 or 12% of sales for the third quarter of 2002. This increase was
largely due to increases of $24,000 in sales travel related expenses, $13,000 in
computer maintenance expenses, and $13,000 in office and supervision salaries.
These increases were offset by decreases of $27,000 in legal and professional
fees, and $13,000 in deferred compensation/401(k) expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the third quarter of 2002 increased to
$150,000 or 4% of sales from $147,000 or 6% of sales for the third quarter of
2001.

other direct costs decreased from 25% in 2001 to 22% for 2002.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
For the nine months ended May 31, 2002, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance of approximately $665,000 to offset the income tax benefit. As of May
31, 2002, the Company had approximately $3,756,000 of net operating loss
carryforwards 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 nine months ended May 31, 2002, the Company's cash used in operating
activities was $1,612,000. This largely resulted from an increase of $1,143,000
in accounts receivable and a decrease of $322,000 in accounts payable. From
investing activities, the Company acquired additional machinery and equipment of
$224,000. From financing activities, the Company used $1,112,000 to reduce
long-term debt and borrowed an additional $2,762,000 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 and terms of such 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.
