1999, compared with $2.1 million at April 30,
1999, was $3.3 million less than Januaryone year earlier. As of July 31, 1999, and $395,000 more than April
30, 1998. The company has no short term borrowings at January 31, 1999 or at
April 30, 1999, which was down $4.0 million from April 30, 1998. The cash
balance as of January 31, 1999, was sufficient to fund the
seasonal increases in
inventory levels. Inventory levels declined $956,000 from April 30, 1998, to
April 30, 1999, due primarily to lower projected sales in the Sewn Products
segment. From April 30, 1998, through April 30, 1999, the company repurchased
236,800 shares of its common stock for a total of $4.1 million, including $1.4

debt balance was $1.0company obtained short term
financing in the amount of $2.0 million less than Januaryduring the second quarter of fiscal year
2000 in order to help fund the repurchase of common shares. At July 31, 1999,
the company retained an unused balance because of payments made during$3.0 million on its $5.0 million line
of credit. During the first quarter.second quarter, the company repurchased 192,895 shares of
its common stock. The average purchase price was $14.96 per share for a total
cost of $2.9 million. Inventory levels decreased $922,000 from the July 31, 1998
level due primarily to a reduced order base in the Sewn Products segment.
Accounts Receivable increased $1.9 million over last year's level, due primarily
to heavy deliveries in the Plastics segment. The company's capital resources
continue to be sufficient to fund all its activities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

second quarter. Sales were $37.0 million for the quarter ended April 30,July 31, 1999, an

previous year. The Plastics segment garneredand Electronics segment generated sales
increases over last year for both the largest gainssecond quarter and the year-to-date
figures. Net income for the second quarter increased 21 percent to $1.8 million
from $1.5 million a year earlier. Earnings per share, on a diluted basis, rose
29 percent to 40 cents a share, compared to 31 cents a share in the second
quarter of last year, with an
increase in sales and277,000 fewer average common equivalent shares

the computer industry.year. Sales of flow control devices declined by
more than
$746,000$180,000 in the firstsecond quarter because of the continuing weakness in the
agricultural markets. FeedmillSales of feedmill automation systems sales fell $512,000$422,000 due to

Electronics segment during the quarter, 3029 percent lower than the comparable
period the prior year. Contract electronics experienced lower gross margins, due
to the highly competitive nature of the computer industry, along with
substantial start-up costs associated with this contract. Flow control devices
and feedmill automation systems logged lower operating profits which correspond
to the lower sales volume.
Plastics segment sales of $18.6 million in the quarter ended April 30, 1999,

periods. Contract electronics generated a second quarter and year-to-date sales
increase of 20 percent and 40 percent, respectively. The addition of new
