COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 2003.

REVENUES - Revenues for each of the three months ended February 28, 2003 and
February 29, 2004 totaled $8.3 million. The Company is currently completing
significant tooling programs for both the Mercedes-Benz M Class sports utility
vehicle and the new "crossover" vehicle. The Company's customer for these
vehicles is the Tier 1 supplier to Mercedes-Benz for these particular vehicles.
For a portion of these tooling systems the Company is performing engineering
services and manages certain die manufacturing subcontracted by the Company, for
which the Company is responsible for the engineering and performance of these
tools.

The Company's backlog of awarded contracts, which are all believed to be firm,
was approximately $16.6 million and $32.7 million as of February 29, 2004 and
February 28, 2003, respectively. The Company expects all backlog contracts will
be reflected in sales during fiscal years ending August 31, 2004 and 2005.
Despite the backlog, the Company continues to see a general "softness" in the
overall domestic automotive tooling industry. The Company believes that such
should improve in the latter part of 2004 as a result of the domestic automakers
apparent commitment to increasing future new model restyling. In addition, the
Company is and has quoted on contracts in which the timing of the release of
such contracts is not established.

COST OF SALES -- Total cost of goods sold were $7.5 million for the second
quarter of fiscal 2004 and $7.4 million for fiscal 2003, and as a percent of
sales increased slightly from 89.5% for 2003 to 89.9% for 2004. Direct costs
(materials and labor) decreased by $163,000, from $5.1 million for 2003 to $5.0
million for 2004. Engineering expense increased by $111,000 from $584,000 for
2003 to $695,000 for 2004. Lastly, of the cost of goods sold, manufacturing
overhead increased by $70,000 from $1.7 million for 2003 to $1.8 million for
2004. Additional details of these changes in cost of sales for the second
quarters of fiscal 2003 and 2004 are as follows:

- Direct materials expense was $1.6 million for both second quarters of
2003 and 2004. Outside services expense decreased from $2.1 million for
2003 to $1.7 million for 2004 and as a percent of sales from 25.5% to
20.2%. This decrease was largely due to the Company incurring $1.2 million
less in expense related to its outsourced revenue in the second quarter of
2004. The balance of the outside services expense increased from $1.0
million to $1.8 million as a result of the Company outsourcing certain
manufacturing processes. This outsourcing is a result of the Company
attempting to meet customer delivery dates while incorporating significant
numbers of customer engineering changes. These outsourced services largely
consist of machining and laser cutting services.

- Direct labor expense increased from $1.4 million for 2003 to $1.7 million
for 2004 and as a percent of sales increased from 17.2% to 20.4%. This
change was a result of the Company incurring a 13% increase in direct labor
hours, from 75,000 hours in 2003 to 85,000 in 2004. Of the total direct
labor expense, regular or straight time increased by $150,000 and as a
percent of sales increased from 10.9% for 2003 to 12.7% for 2004. Overtime
expense increased from $525,000 for 2003 to $639,000 for 2004, as a percent
of sales, increasing from 6.3% for 2003 to 7.7% for 2004 as a result of the
Company increasing overtime hours while attempting to meet customer
delivery dates while incorporating a high number of customer engineering
changes to the tooling.

- Engineering expense increased from $584,000, 7.0% of sales, for 2003 to
$695,000, 8.4% of sales, for 2004. This increase was due to the Company's
level of engineering personnel staffing required to fulfill the design and
project management portions of contracts.

- Manufacturing overhead was $1.7 million or 20.5% of sales for 2003 as
compared to $1.8 million or 21.3% of sales for 2004. During 2004, increases
in manufacturing overhead were largely due to increases in medical
insurance premiums, increases in machinery repairs and maintenance
supplies, and increases in payroll tax expense.


9


SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE - Selling and administrative expense
increased from $417,000 for the second quarter of 2003 to $506,000 for 2004. As
a percent of sales, selling and administrative expense increased from 5.0% for
2003 to 6.1% for 2004. The largest selling and administrative expense increases
were in salaries and wages and public company costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense decreased from $221,000 for 2003 to $123,000
for 2004. This decrease was largely due to the lower levels of debt during the
comparative periods.


COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2004 TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
FEBRUARY 28, 2003.

REVENUES -- Revenues for the six months ended February 29, 2004 totaled $16.6
million as compared to $12.6 million for the six months ended February 28, 2003,
an increase of 31%. The Company is currently completing significant tooling
programs for the both the Mercedes-Benz M Class sports utility vehicle and the
new "crossover" vehicle. The Company's customer for these vehicles is the Tier 1
supplier to Mercedes-Benz for these particular vehicles. For a portion of these
tooling systems the Company is performing engineering services and manages
certain die manufacturing subcontracted by the Company, for which the Company is
responsible for the engineering and performance of these tools. For the six
months ended February 29, 2004, the Company had incurred approximately 161,000
shop floor hours as compared to 130,000 during the same period of 2003, an
increase of 31,000 hours or 24%.

COST OF SALES -- Cost of goods sold increased from $11.5 million for the six
months ended February 28, 2003 to $14.9 million for the six months ended
February 29, 2004, however as a percent of sales decreased slightly from 90.8%
for 2003 to 89.8% for 2004. Direct costs (materials and labor) increased by $2.9
million, from $7.1 million for 2003 to $10.1 million for 2004. Engineering
expense increased by $300,000 from $1.1 million for 2003 to $1.4 million for
2004. Lastly, of the cost of goods sold, manufacturing overhead increased by
$200,000 from $3.3 million for 2003 to $3.5 million for 2004. Additional details
of these changes in cost of sales for the six months ended February 28, 2003 and
February 29, 2004 are as follows:

- Direct materials expense increased from $2.2 million to $2.7 million for
the first two quarters of 2003 and 2004, respectively. Outside services
expense increased from $2.5 million for 2003 to $4.1 million for 2004 and
as a percent of sales from 19.7% to 24.6%. This increase was largely due to
the Company outsourcing certain manufacturing processes in an attempt to
meet customer delivery dates while incorporating a high number of customer
engineering changes to the tooling. These services largely consist of
machining and laser cutting services (a $1.0 million increase).

- Direct labor expense increased from $2.4 million for 2003 to $3.3 million
for 2004 and as a percent of sales increased from 19.3% to 19.7%. This
change was a result of the Company incurring a 24% increase in direct labor
hours, from 130,000 hours in 2003 to 161,000 in 2004. Of the total direct
labor expense, regular or straight time increased by $470,000 and as a
percent of sales decreased from 13.0% for 2003 to 12.7% for 2004. Overtime
expense increased from $803,000 for 2003 to $1,154,000 for 2004, as a
percent of sales, increasing from 6.4% for 2003 to 6.9% for 2004 as a
result of the Company attempting to meet customer delivery dates while
incorporating a high number of customer engineering changes to the tooling.

- Engineering expense increased from $1.1 million, 8.4% of sales, for 2003
to $1.4 million, 8.2% of sales, for 2004. This increase was due to the
Company's level of engineering personnel staffing required to fulfill the
design and project management portions of contracts.

- Manufacturing overhead was $3.3 million or 26.0% of sales for 2003 as
compared to $3.5 million or 21.0% of sales for 2004. During 2004, increases
in manufacturing overhead were largely due to increases in medical
insurance premiums and increases in payroll tax expense.



10


SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE - Selling and administrative expense
increased from $739,000 for the first two quarters of 2003 to $909,000 for 2004.
As a percent of sales, selling and administrative expense decreased from 5.8%
for 2003 to 5.5% for 2004. The largest selling and administrative expense
increases were in salaries and wages, public company costs and State of Michigan
Single Business Tax expense.

INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense decreased from $382,000 for 2003 to $331,000
for 2004. This decrease was largely due to the lower levels of debt during the
comparative periods.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

For the three and six months ended February 29, 2004, the Company recorded a
reduction in the valuation allowance of approximately $72,000 and $153,000,
respectively, to offset the income tax expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six months ended February 29, 2004, the Company's cash provided by
operating activities was $4.4 million. This largely resulted from a decrease of
$2.1 million in receivables and a $719,000 decrease in contracts in process.
From investing activities, the Company incurred an increase in other assets
(cash surrender value of life insurance policies) of $22,000 and $291,000 in
additions to property, plant and equipment. The Company used $3.8 million to
reduce the revolving line of credit and $283,000 to reduce long-term debt.

The Company believes that the unused portion of the revolving bank working
capital credit line, receipt of progress payments from the Company's major
customer, equity raised subsequent to the quarter end and the funds generated
from operations will be sufficient to cover anticipated cash needs through
fiscal 2004. However, depending on the level of future sales, and the terms of
such sales, an expanded credit line or other financial instruments 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 and/or other financing, if required.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

None.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the
participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer
(the "CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness and design
of disclosure controls and procedures used to prepare consolidated financial
statements. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded the
disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or to be filed with the SEC are
adequate and are operating in an effective manner. While the CEO and CFO believe
that the Company's existing disclosure controls and procedures have been
effective to accomplish its objectives, the CEO and CFO intend to examine,
refine and formalize our disclosure controls and procedures and monitor ongoing
developments.

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of
the most recent evaluation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of
persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to disclosure
material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's
periodic reports.
