NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

     
1.   CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
    The financial statements presented herein are based on interim amounts. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at December 31, 2003 and for all periods presented have been made. The income from operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
 
    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 20, 2003, which the Company has stated it will amend.
 
    Certain balances contained in the June 30, 2003 financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the December 31, 2003 presentation.
 
    The Company’s restated financial information for fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 contained in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at Item 1. in this Form 10-Q reflects a change in the treatment of repurchases of some Company stock issued to employees on the exercise of employee stock options to comply with FIN 44: Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 (“FIN 44”). The Company had previously accounted for these transactions as an acquisition of treasury stock, whereas under FIN 44, the Company will treat the expenditures to acquire stock purchased directly from employees who held the stock for less than six months as a compensation expense. The effect of the restatement was a decrease in taxes payable of $687,687 and an increase in stockholders’ investment by the like amount. The restatement had no impact on results of operations for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.
 
2.   EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
 
    Basic earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the quarters ending December 31, 2003 and 2002 were 3,767,929 and 3,655,242, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, weighted average number of common shares outstanding were 3,767,011 and 3,662,898, respectively. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents of 115,523 and 191,603 related to stock option grants were included in the computation of the average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share for the quarters ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Common stock equivalents of 126,021 and 187,599 related to stock option grants were included in the computation of the average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

4.   STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
    The Company has an agreement with its Chairman to repurchase stock from his estate (only upon the election of the estate) in the event of his death. The repurchase price is 95% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date that notice to repurchase is provided to the Company. The total number of shares to be repurchased shall be sufficient to provide proceeds which are the lesser of $2,500,000 or the amount of estate taxes and administrative expenses incurred by his estate. The Company is obligated to pay in cash 25% of the total amount due and to execute a promissory note at the prime rate of interest for the balance. The Company maintains a $1,150,000 life insurance policy to fund a substantial portion of this obligation. At December 31, 2003 and June 30, 2003, $1,490,000 has been classified as a Contingently Redeemable Equity Interest reflecting the estimated obligation in the event of execution of the agreement.
 
5.   RECENTLY ISSUED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
    During April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for certain derivative instruments. We anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are in the process of determining the impact of this statement on our consolidated financial statements.
 
    During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
6.   DIVIDENDS DECLARED
 
    On December 19, 2003, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share for stockholders of record on December 31, 2003 to be paid January 15, 2004. Such dividend payable has been recorded at December 31, 2003.
 
7.   STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
    The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements of the effects of stock-based compensation.
 
    The Company maintains stock option plans for certain of its directors, officers and key employees and accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.”
 
    The effect on net income and earnings per share had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 is presented below:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2003 amounted to $1,206,376. This was primarily a result of net income for the period partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily related to increases in accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable, and income taxes payable.

Capital expenditures for new property and equipment (including production tooling) were $272,874 for the six months ended December 31, 2003. Budgeted capital expenditures for fiscal year 2004 are $1,573,000. The Company expects to generate sufficient funds through operations to fund these expenditures.

Stockholders’ investment increased to $17,197,782 at December 31, 2003, from $16,501,202 at June 30, 2003. The increase reflects the effect of net income offset by the purchase and retirement of common stock and dividends declared during the period.

The Company amended its existing credit facility in October 2003, extending the maturity date of the unsecured line of credit to November 1, 2004. This credit facility provides for borrowings up to a maximum of $10,000,000. The Company can use this credit facility for working capital purposes or for the purchase of its own common stock pursuant to the Company’s common stock repurchase program. Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at the bank’s prime rate, or LIBOR plus 1.75%. This credit facility includes certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and specified current, interest coverage, and leverage ratios. The Company uses its credit facility from time to time, although there was no utilization of this credit facility at December 31, 2003 or June 30, 2003.

In April of 1995, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to purchase from time to time up to $2,000,000 of its common stock for its own account. Subsequently, the Board of Directors periodically have approved increases in the stock repurchase program. The most recent increase was for an additional $2,000,000 in January 2003, for a maximum of $37,500,000. The Company intends to effectuate all stock purchases either on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, and intends to finance all stock purchases through its own cash flow or by borrowing for such purchases.

For the six month period ended December 31, 2003, the Company purchased 45,000 shares of its common stock at a net price of $13.59 per share, for a total net purchase price of $611,325. The Company will continue to repurchase its shares from the open market when the Board of Directors determines the shares to be undervalued. As of the date hereof, the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to $2,501,360.82 in Company common stock at the discretion of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

From the commencement of the Company’s stock repurchase program through December 31, 2003, the Company has purchased a total of 4,969,180 shares for a total gross purchase price of $40,655,545, (representing an average gross purchase price of $8.18 per share) and a total net purchase price of $36,030,060 (representing an average net purchase price of $7.25 per share). The difference between the total gross purchase price and the total net purchase price is the result of the Company purchasing from certain employees shares of the Company’s stock acquired by such employees pursuant to the Company’s stock option program. In determining the dollar amount available for additional purchases under the stock

repurchase program, the Company uses the total net purchase price paid by the Company for all stock purchases, as authorized by the Board of Directors.

The Company also has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (“ESOP”) pursuant to which shares of the Company’s stock are purchased by the ESOP for allocation to the accounts of ESOP participants. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, the ESOP purchased 3,633 shares of the Company’s stock.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the second quarter ended December 31, 2003 rose 26% to $9,839,572 from $7,818,848 for the same period in 2002. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2003 were $19,004,263 up 13% compared with $16,773,826 during the same six months one year ago. This was due to sales increases in the Company’s largest accounts both in the U.S. and Europe.

Gross profit as a percent of net sales was 38% for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 compared to 41% for the same period in the prior year. For the six month period ended December 31, 2003, the gross profit percentage was 38% compared to 40% for the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to the Company experiencing higher incoming freight costs compared to prior years.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 were $1,972,115 or 20% of net sales, compared to $1,733,143 or 22% of net sales for the same period in 2002. For the six month period ended December 2003, these expenses were $4,001,849 or 21% of net sales, compared to $3,613,795 or 22% of net sales, for the same period in 2002.

For the second quarter ended December 31, 2003, income from operations was $1,769,885 versus $1,457,717 for the same period in the prior year. Income from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2003 was $3,237,796 as compared to $3,107,822 for the same period in 2002. This was due to the Company experiencing higher sales volume.

Royalty income for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 was $387,367, compared to $254,760 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002. For the six month period ended December 31, 2003 royalty income was $577,692 compared to $418,721 for the period ending December 31, 2002.

On December 19, 2003, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per share payable on January 15, 2004 to stockholders of record on December 31, 2003, which is recorded as dividends payable.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Pronouncements

During April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for certain derivative instruments. We do not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we are not currently a party to derivative financial instruments included in this standard.

During May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity,” which establishes standards for the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In management’s opinion, the Company does not engage in any material risk sensitive activities and does not have any market risk sensitive instruments, other than the Company’s commercial credit facility used for working capital purposes and stock repurchases as disclosed on page 7 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of the end of the period covered by this report and concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses subsequent to the date of their evaluation. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, periodically reviews the Company’s internal controls for effectiveness and plans to conduct quarterly evaluations of its disclosure controls and procedures.
