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 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.

Direct costs expense increased from $1.4 million in 2001 to $1.6 million in
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
labor, vacation, holiday pay and related payroll taxes.

SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling and administrative expenses
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.



9.


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

REVENUES - Revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2002 totaled $10.5 million
as compared to $9.3 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2001, an increase
of $1.2 million or 13%.

COST OF SALES - Cost of sales was $10.7 million or 102% of sales for the nine
months ended May 31, 2002 as compared to $11.2 million or 121% of sales for the
same period last year. The increase in gross margin was largely due to the
Company's increase in revenue and certain cost containment measures.

Direct costs expense decreased from $5.4 million in 2001 to $4.9 million in
2002, as a percent of sales it decreased from 58% to 47%. Direct labor expense
was $2.7 million in 2002 as compared to $3.1 million in 2001, as a percent of

2002 as compared to 165,000 during the same period of 2001, a decrease of 27,000
hours or 17%. This decrease was a direct result of lower contract level
requirements during the first and second quarters of 2002. Other direct costs
remained consistent at $2.3 million in 2002, however as a percent of sales,
other direct costs decreased from 25% in 2001 to 22% for 2002.

Engineering expense increased from $892,000 for the first three quarters of 2001
to $1.1 million for same period of 2002, as a percent of sales engineering
expense increased from 9.6% to 10.2%. The increase in engineering expense was
largely in salaries as a result of increasing staffing levels for the Company's
increased backlog. Such resulted in the Company increasing design and project
management staffing.

Manufacturing overhead expense decreased from $4.9 million or 53% of sales for
the first three quarters of 2001 to $4.7 million or 45% of sales for the same
period on 2002. The largest decreases during this period in 2002 as compared to
2001 included $169,000 in supervision, indirect labor, vacation, holiday pay and
related payroll taxes, $49,000 in medical and general insurance expense, and
$45,000 in building rent, utilities, maintenance and supplies expenses. These
decreases were offset by an increase of $30,000 in perishable tooling expense.

SELLING & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Selling and administrative expenses
increased slightly from $1.276 million or 14% of sales for the first three
quarters of 2001 to $1.285 million or 12% of sales in 2002. Increases in the
first three quarters of 2002 as compared to 2001 included $52,000 in supervision
and office salaries, $34,000 in legal and professional fees, $25,000 in employee
training expense, $23,000 in computer maintenance expense, $14,000 in sales
travel related expenses, $11,000 in dues and subscriptions expense, $11,000 in
Michigan Single Business Tax expense and $7,000 in equipment rental expense.
These increases were offset by decreases of $44,000 in insurance expense,
$30,000 in contributions expense, $29,000 in deferred compensation/401(k)
expense, $20,000 in director fees, $19,000 in public company expenses, $12,000
in advertising expense, $11,000 in depreciation expense, $6,000 in office
supplies, and $5,000 in telephone expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense for the first three quarters of 2002
decreased to $487,000 or 4.6% of sales from $603,000 or 6.5% of sales for 2001.
This was a result of lower debt levels as well as lower interest rates during
2002 as compared to 2001.


10.

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.
