                                     PART I

ITEM 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Puroflow Incorporated (the "Registrant" or the "Company") provides a broad range
of products for original equipment manufacturers,  foreign and domestic military
users, government direct, automotive and aviation aftermarket users as well as a
number of commercial and industrial  applications.  These  applications  include
military,  commercial and general  aviation fixed wing and rotary wing vehicles,
rockets, launch vehicles, satellites, surface and subsurface vessels, automotive
airbag, launch complex  installations,  and liquid gas manufacturers,  to name a
few.

The Company's products are made from a combination of woven wire meshes,  random
fiber materials,  expanded metals,  plastics,  rubber, sheet metal and precision
machined components assembled via welded, brazed, and/or epoxy construction.

The Company  acquired 100% control of Quality  Controlled  Cleaning  Corporation
("QCCC") on January 31, 1999. QCCC is engaged in cleaning  services of precision
parts for companies,  including commercial aviation, aerospace, and the medical,
pharmaceutical  and petrol chemical  industries.  The service includes cleaning,
sterilization, testing, and assembly of component parts. On January 31, 2002 the
Company  discontinued its QCCC operations and this operation was phased out over
fiscal year 2003.  All  cleaning  services are now  performed  at the  Company's
principal office in Sun Valley, California.

The Company produces  automotive  airbag filters,  which are an integral part of
airbag inflator  assemblies.  The primary  functions of the airbag filter are to
cool and  control the  expansion  of the hot gas into the  inflating  bag and to
prevent hot  particles  of  combustion  from  entering  the  expanding  bag. The
Company's  filters  are  typically  comprised  of a unique  blend of woven wire,
expanded metals, random metallic fiber, fiberglass,  and/or refractory materials
in various  combinations.  To economically  assemble these airbag  filters,  the
Company designs,  manufactures,  and operates its own  high-precision  machines.
These machines require minimal time for tooling changes between  production runs
of different  filter types.  These methods permit greater  flexibility and lower
unit costs  without  compromising  the high  reliability  which is essential for
automotive airbag filters.

The Company was  incorporated in Delaware in 1961 and has its principal  offices
located at 10616 Lanark Street,  Sun Valley,  California,  91352.  The Company's
telephone number is (818) 504-4000.  Consolidated  within a single 43,000 square
foot facility, Puroflow is fully self-contained within the engineering,  testing
and manufacturing disciplines.

MARKETING

The Company markets its airbag filters directly to airbag manufacturers  through
its executive officers.  The Company's marketing activity is conducted through a
series of manufacturing  representatives  and to a lesser extent,  the Company's
own sales force.  Each  representative  is assigned to an  exclusive  geographic
region. The sale of aftermarket products is through exclusive  distributorships,
who in turn, have  exclusively  assigned part numbers.  Typically,  the terms of
these  distribution  agreements  provide  that the  distributor  will act as the
exclusive  distributor  for  specific  parts  manufactured  by the Company for a
period  between 3 to 5 years with minimum  monthly  requirements  for number and
dollar amount of units purchased.  The purchase price of the parts is subject to
mutual  agreement  of the  parties  and may be  adjusted  to take  into  account
inflation,  market changes,  changes in costs of production and sales, and other
factors.  Such  agreements  may be terminated by the Company if the  distributor
does not comply with these purchase requirements or by either party if the other
party is rendered insolvent.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS

The United States government is consistently  within the Company's top ten sales
volume customers.  Substantial sales of other high performance  filters are made
to companies that are prime contractors of the United States  government.  Sales
to the United States  government  accounted for  approximately  13.3% and 16.5%,
respectively, of net sales for fiscal 2002 and 2003.

                                       1





COMPETITIVE CONDITIONS

A broad range of companies produce products or are capable of producing products
that compete with products  manufactured by the Company in its various  markets.
Many of these companies have significantly  greater financial resources than the
Company.  There can be no assurance that the Company's airbag customers will not
manufacture  some or all of their  airbag  filters for its own use or that other
companies will not enter into the airbag filter market.

PRODUCT WARRANTIES

In all product  lines,  the Company  provides  standard  commercial  warranties,
consistent  with its  products  and  industry.  Although  claims  under  product
warranties  have been minimal  during the past five years,  no assurance  can be
given that such claims will not increase in the future.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In fiscal 2002 and fiscal 2003, the Company  incurred  research and  development
expenditures of approximately $137,600 and $131,200,  respectively.  The Company
charges  research and  development  expenditures  to  Operations as a production
expense as such  expenditures  occur. The Company intends to expand research and
development activities in its core businesses, specialty filtration products and
Federal Aviation  Administration Parts Manufacturer  Approval for the commercial
aerospace products group.

HIGH PERFORMANCE FILTERS

Since  1961,  the  Company  has  designed  and  manufactured   state-of-the-art,
precision filtration products for critical applications.  Specializing in highly
reliable,  all metallic  filters of standard and custom  design,  the  Company's
products  range from filters in hydraulic,  fuel and pneumatic  systems to large
cryogenic and petrol-chemical filters. The Company also designs and manufactures
surface  tension  devices for  propellant  management in missiles and satellites
using porous metal,  high-performance  filter media and specialized gas tungsten
arc welding processes.

The Company is a filter supplier for United States space applications, including
the Space Shuttle program,  various commercial and military  satellites,  launch
vehicles  and  boosters,   and  ground   support   equipment.   Certain  of  the
manufacturing,  welding, cleaning and testing required by these applications are
performed   in  our  laminar   flow,   Class  100  clean  room  which  has  been
re-established in the new Sun Valley, California facility.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

The Company is a leading supplier of aftermarket  products used in jet aircraft,
turboshaft  powered  aircraft,  and  helicopters.  Utilizing  highly  successful
reverse  engineering  techniques,  the  Company  produces  "generic  plain wrap"
products for use in the  aftermarket  at a substantial  reduction in cost to the
distributor and end-user.  The Company  utilizes  exclusive  agreements with its
distributor  base which  assist  them to  dominate,  on a part  number  base,  a
particular  market  segment.  The  preponderance  of future  Company  sales will
continue to be within its core filtration product line. Aftermarket applications
are  significantly  more diverse.  These  products  include unique items such as
interior trim, heat resistant ducting, mechanical and electrical components, and
aircraft   structural   parts.  This  market  segment  is  specialized  and  has
consistently  generated  improved  profit  margins  when  compared to the highly
competitive aftermarket filter products.

RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES

The  principal  raw  materials  utilized by the Company in  connection  with its
filter  operations  include  stainless  steel  and  other  man-made  or  natural
products,  which  are  standard  items  available  from  a  number  of  sources.
Additionally,  the  Company  subcontracts  out  a  significant  portion  of  the
fabricated or machine parts required to produce components used in the Company's
products, which it designs and assembles. These services are readily and rapidly
available from a wide variety of sources.

ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS

The Company  engineers,  manufactures and assembles its products at its facility
in Sun Valley,  California.  The Company believes that this facility complies in
all material  respects with all  environmental and regulatory laws pertaining to
the handling and storage of hazardous substances.  The cost associated with this
effort is minimal.

                                       2





PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

Although  management  believes that patents and trademarks  associated  with the
Company's  various  product  lines  are of  value  to the  Company,  it does not
consider any of them to be essential to its business.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS

Sales to three  customers  represented  approximately  59% and 58% of net  sales
during  fiscal  years  2002  and  2003,  respectively.  The loss of any of these
customers would have a material  adverse effect on the automotive  airbag filter
or the high performance filter segments of the Company's business.

BACKLOG

As of February  28, 2002 and  February  28,  2003,  the Company had a backlog of
approximately $7,165,000 and $6,900,000, respectively.  Approximately $3,424,000
of the Company's  backlog at February 28, 2003 is scheduled to be shipped in the
current fiscal year. The backlog  figures include firm purchase orders and, with
respect to airbag  filters,  four-month  planning  requirements  prepared by the
Company's customers.  As is generally the case in the automotive  industry,  the
Company's airbag filter customers provide the Company,  on a monthly basis, with
firm commitment  purchase orders for the upcoming month and their best estimate,
for planning  purposes,  of their  requirements  for the  following  three-month
period.  These rolling four-month  statements of firm commitment purchase orders
and planning requirements are revised and updated each month.

The  Company's  customer  purchase  orders  may be revised  or  canceled  by the
customer,  subject to reimbursement of certain costs in the case of cancellation
of scheduled shipments or other commitments.  The Company's contracts (direct or
indirect),  with respect to United States  government  agencies,  are subject to
unilateral termination at the convenience of the government, subject only to the
reimbursement of certain costs plus a termination fee.

REGULATION

Demand for the  Company's  airbag  filters  was  initially  affected  by federal
regulations  requiring  installation of airbags in passenger cars, light trucks,
and vans by model years 1999 and 2000,  respectively,  and which in the meantime
require  installation  of  airbags or other  passive  frontal  crash  protective
systems.  Consumer demand is now the leading force in the growth of this product
segment. Demand for the Company's commercial aerospace products group is covered
by  the  Federal   Aviation   Administration   Regulations   for   National  and
International  Operations.  While  the  Company  believes  that  the  trends  in
automotive  safety are toward  increased  regulation  and are  beneficial to the
Company,  a decline in enforcement or compliance  expenditures,  a change in the
regulations,  or an emerging  technology  that would deem  airbags as  obsolete,
could have a significant  adverse effect on the demand for the products  offered
by the Company.

United States  government  contracts  and related  customer  orders  subject the
Company to various  laws and  regulations  governing  United  States  government
contractors and  subcontractors,  which are generally more  restrictive than for
non-government contractors. This includes subjecting the Company to examinations
by  government  auditors  and  investigators,  from  time  to  time,  to  insure
compliance and to review costs.  Violations  may result in costs  disallowed and
substantial civil or criminal liabilities (including, in severe cases, denial of
future  contracts).  The  United  States  government  may limit the  competitive
bidding of any contract under a small business or minority  set-aside,  in which
bidding is limited to companies  meeting the  criteria  for a small  business or
minority business,  respectively.  The Company is currently qualified as a small
business concern,  but not a minority  business,  for set-asides.  To the extent
bidding may be so limited,  the Company has an  opportunity  to benefit from the
reduced number of qualified bidders.

EMPLOYEES

At February 1, 2003,  the Company had 55 full-time  employees.  No employees are
represented  by  a  collective   bargaining  unit.   Management   considers  its
relationship with its employees to be excellent.

                                       3





INSURANCE

The Company maintains general liability,  automobile, aircraft products, product
liability,  workers' compensation,  and employer's liability insurance coverage.
The Company is engaged in various businesses which could expose it to claims for
injury  resulting  from the  failure of  products  sold by it. The  Company  has
product  liability  insurance  covering in such amounts and against such risk as
management  believes  advisable in light of the Company's business and the terms
and cost of such insurance.  During the last decade,  the Company has not been a
party to any product liability claim. There is no assurance that claims will not
arise in the  future  in  excess  of such  insurance  or that the  Company  will
maintain the same level of insurance coverage.

ITEM 6.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The Company was  incorporated in Delaware in 1961, under the name Ultra Dynamics
Corporation, and was originally engaged in the water purification business.

In November 1968, the Company organized  Puroflow  Corporation to acquire all of
the assets and  liabilities of a business  established  in 1961,  under the name
Aerospace Components  Corporation,  and was primarily engaged in the manufacture
of high  performance  filters for the aerospace  industry.  In 1980, the Company
acquired Decca Valves  Corporation,  a corporation engaged in the manufacture of
fluid control valves.  The Company changed its name to Puroflow  Incorporated in
1983.

In fiscal 1989, the Company began designing,  testing and producing  filters for
automotive  airbag  systems,  primarily  as an  outgrowth  of its  expertise  in
aerospace  filtration.  During  September  1992,  the  Company  disposed  of its
Chemical  Process (CPI)  division,  including all the CPI assets it had acquired
from Michigan  Dynamics,  Inc. in June 1992.  During  November 1994, the Company
settled the litigation with Glasco Ultraviolet  Systems Inc. and disposed of the
operating assets of Ultra Dynamics  Corporation,  its ultraviolet water products
subsidiary.

The Company acquired 100% control of the shares in QCCC on January 31, 1999. The
QCCC  division was  discontinued  January 31, 2002 and phased out during  fiscal
year 2003.

The  International  division was created in June 1998 to provide spare parts for
hard to find or  obsolete  components  to  service  the United  States  military
equipment  acquired  by  foreign  government.  The  International  Division  was
discontinued January 31, 2001.

COMPARISON OF THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2002 AND 2003

NET SALES

Net sales  decreased  5.6% to $6.8  million in fiscal  2003 as  compared to $7.2
million in fiscal  2002.  This was  primarily  due to a decrease  in the air bag
filter line. In addition,  high  performance  filters sold through the Company's
commercial distribution network and its OEM sector both experienced downturns in
the past year due to the continued weakness in the U.S. economy.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin as a percentage  of net sales was 34.2% in fiscal 2003  compared to
29.0% in fiscal 2002.  The increase in the margin is primarily  attributable  to
the higher mix of  filtration  products  produced and sold in  comparison to the
other  product  lines.  The  high  performance   filtration   product  line  has
historically been a higher margin product than the air bag filter segment.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling,  general and administrative expense for continuing operations were $1.9
million or 28.4% of sales in fiscal 2003 as  compared to $1.7  million in fiscal
2002 or 23.9% of sales.  The  increase  is  attributable  to an  increase in the
Company's  investment  in expanding its selling and  marketing  departments.  In
addition,  additional  investment  has been made in  enhancing  the  information
technology capabilities of the organization.

OTHER INCOME / INTEREST EXPENSE

Other income  increased to $57,404 in fiscal 2003 as compared to other income of
$2,092 in fiscal 2002. This was due to the receipt of income related to an early
exit payment made by the  Company's  former  landlord for the  relocation of the
organization in February 2002.  Interest expense  decreased to $26,277 in fiscal
2003 as compared to interest  expense of $46,979 in fiscal 2002. This was due to
the Company  maintaining a lower line of credit which resulted in lower interest
charges.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 9.0% for fiscal 2003 and 1.2% for fiscal
2002. The tax rate is indicative of the benefit  garnered from the net operating
loss  carryforwards.  The net effect of the income tax expense  after  recording
this tax provision was $30,702 for fiscal 2003 and $130,000 for fiscal 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has historically  financed its operations from the placement of bank
financing,   sale  of  Common  Stock  and,  in  profitable  years,  income  from
operations.  In fiscal 2003, cash increased from $123,330 at January 31, 2002 to
$265,080 at January 31, 2003. The Company's financial condition remained strong,
with a ratio of current  assets to current  liabilities  of 2.5:1 at January 31,
2002 and 4.7:1 at January 31, 2003.

The Company  generated  cash from  operating  activities  of $519,666 for fiscal
2003.  The  principal  sources of cash  consisted  primarily  of $317,621 in net
income plus $182,943 in non-cash expenses (i.e.,  depreciation and amortization)
in addition to a $504,958  reduction in  inventories,  which included a $250,000
write-down for slow-moving and obsolete inventories.  These sources of cash were
partially offset by the $243,419  reduction in payables and accrued expenses and
the elimination of non-operating  income of $172,461,  comprised of the recovery
of excess accrual for the disposal of QCCC's operations.

Cash used for investing  activities of $160,864 consisted of investments made to
purchase  plant  equipment and the  construction  of both the new facility and a
clean room.

Net cash used for financing  activities of $217,052 included $210,780 to pay the
principal  balance of an  outstanding  notes  payable  and bank  credit line and
$6,272 to pay down the Company's capital lease line.

Subsequent to the 2002 year-end,  the Company  restructured its credit facility.
The Company now maintains a revolving credit line of $1,000,000 with an interest
rate of prime plus 0.25% per annum  that is  secured by the  Company's  accounts
receivable and inventories and consists of two revolving credit  agreements with
one  bank.  This new  structure  is not  contingent  on the  Company's  level of
accounts receivable.  One agreement is a $250,000 term note that is payable over
four years and expires in March 2006, and the other is a $750,000 line of credit

                                       7





that expires in June 2003. The terms of these loan  agreements  contain  certain
restrictive  covenants,  including maintenance of: (i) aggregate net worth (plus
subordinated  debt,  less any  intangible  assets  and less any  amount due from
shareholders,  officers  and  affiliates  of  the  Company)  of  not  less  than
$3,500,000;   (ii)  a  ratio  of  current  and  non-current   liabilities  (less
subordinated debt) to net worth of not more than 0.50 to 1.00; and (iii) working
capital of not less than  $2,000,000.  As of January 31, 2003 the Company was in
compliance with all of its covenants.

The Company  anticipates that it will spend  approximately  $150,000 for capital
expenditures during fiscal year 2003. This is expected to include investments in
leasehold improvements, information systems and manufacturing equipment.

With its present capital  resources,  available credit from its revolving credit
facility and cash flow from operations, the Company believes that it should have
sufficient  resources to meet its operating needs for the next twelve months and
to provide for debt maturities and capital expenditures.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION ON BUSINESS

Management  believes  that  inflation  has  not  had a  material  effect  on the
Company's operations.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On January  2,  2003,  the  Company  announced  its  intention  to sell  between
1,300,000  and  2,600,000  shares of common  stock at a price of $7.75 per share
through a private  placement.  The Board of Directors  approved the terms of the
private  placement,  subject to stockholder  approval,  after careful review and
analysis with input and guidance  from  management  and the Company's  financial
advisors.  A Special Meeting of stockholders has been called to be held on April
15, 2003,  for among other  things,  approving the  consummation  of the private
placement.  Assuming the private  placement is approved,  it is  anticipated  to
close promptly following the Special Meeting.

Pursuant to the terms of the private placement,  the Bosselmann Group and/or its
affiliates  agreed to invest not less than $2 million in the  private  placement
and the  balance  of the  investments  would be from  accredited  investors  (as
defined in Rule 501(c) of  Regulation  D under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended).  In connection with the private placement,  on January 2, 2003, Ranier
Bosselmann (a principal of the Bosselmann  Group) was appointed to the Company's
Board of  Directors as the Vice  Chairman of the Board of Directors  (increasing
the size of the Board of  Directors to eight).  If the private  placement is not
approved or is otherwise not consummated, he has agreed to resign from the Board
of  Directors  and as  Vice  Chairman.  Following  the  closing  of the  private
placement,  four of the  Company's  current  directors  will  resign and will be
replaced by three new directors to be nominated by Mr. Bosselmann. The three new
directors  are DeSoto  Jordan,  James Quinn and Daniel  Levinson.  The three new
directors will be appointed by the remaining  members of the Board of Directors,
and  stockholders  will not have an  opportunity to vote on their election until
the next succeeding  election of directors  following the closing of the private
placement.

Upon the approval  and  consummation  of the private  placement,  purchasers  of
shares in the private placement will hold shares representing  between 72.4% and
84% of the total shares  outstanding,  on a fully diluted basis. The Company has
agreed to file a  registration  statement to register  such shares no later than
180 days  following  the  closing of the private  placement.  The sale of common
stock in the private placement will result in a significant dilution of existing
stockholders'  ownership  interest in the Company.  The net proceeds received by
the Company in the  offering,  estimated  to be between  $9.8  million and $19.7
million, will be used to provide the Company with additional working capital and
additional capital for acquisitions in growth-oriented industries.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In July 2001,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Standards  No. 142 (SFAS
142),  "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which requires the discontinuance
of goodwill  amortization.  SFAS 142 is required to be applied for fiscal  years
beginning  after December 15, 2001, with certain early adoption  permitted.  The
Company  does not expect the  adoption of SFAS 142 to have a material  effect on
its financial condition or results of operations.

In August  2001,  the FASB issued  SFAS 143,  "Accounting  for Asset  Retirement
Obligations."  SFAS  143  addresses  financial   accounting  and  reporting  for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the

                                       8





associated  retirement  costs.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS
143 to  have a  material  effect  on  its  financial  condition  or  results  of
operations.

In October 2001,  the FASB issued SFAS 144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets." SFAS 144 supersedes  SFAS 121,  "Accounting for
the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed
Of," and addresses  financial  accounting  and  reporting for the  impairment of
long-lived  assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company does
not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 to have a material  effect on its  financial
condition or results of operations

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146,  "Accounting  for Costs  Associated with
Exit or  Disposal  Activities."  SFAS 146  addresses  financial  accounting  and
reporting for costs  associated  with exit or disposal  activities and nullifies
EITF Issue No. 94-3,  "Liability  Recognition for Certain  Employee  Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity  (including  Certain Costs Incurred
in a  Restructuring)."  The principal  difference between SFAS 146 and EITF 94-3
relates to SFAS 146's requirements for the timing of recognizing a liability for
a cost  associated  with an exit or  disposal  activity be  recognized  when the
liability  is  incurred.  Under  EITF  94-3,  a  liability  for an exit cost was
recognized at the date of an entity's  commitment  to an exit plan.  SFAS 146 is
effective for exit or disposal  activities that are initiated after December 31,
2002, with early adoption  encouraged.  The Company does not expect the adoption
of SFAS 146 to have a material  effect on its financial  condition or results of
operations.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Stockholders of
Puroflow Incorporated


We have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Puroflow
Incorporated (a Delaware corporation),  and subsidiaries at January 31, 2002 and
2003,  and the related  consolidated  statements  of  operations,  stockholders'
equity and cash flows for the years then  ended.  These  consolidated  financial
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  accounting  standards  generally
accepted in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An
audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles  used and  significant
estimates  made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable  basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in  all  material   respects,   the  financial   position  of  Puroflow
Incorporated  and  Subsidiaries at January 31, 2002 and 2003, and the results of
their  operations  and their cash  flows for the years then ended in  conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Puroflow  Incorporated was organized on May 15, 1961 under the laws of the State
of Delaware.  Puroflow Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries  (together
referred  therein as the  "Company")  specializes  primarily  in  designing  and
manufacturing  automotive  airbag  filters  and high  performance  filters.  The
Company is located in Sun Valley,  California,  and does business with customers
throughout the world, most of which are located in the United States.

CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include the accounts of the  Company's
wholly owned  subsidiaries,  Puroflow  Corporation,  Decca  Valves  Corporation,
Michigan Dynamics, Inc., and Ultra Dynamics Corporation.  Material inter-company
transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Puroflow  Corporation  acquired
Quality  Controlled  Cleaning  Corporation  (QCCC) on January  31, 1999 and this
operation has been discontinued. (See Note 11).

INVENTORIES

Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost of market on a first-in,  first-out
basis (FIFO), and consist of the following items:

                                      January 31,    January 31,
                                         2002          2003
                                      ==========     ==========
Raw materials and purchased parts     $1,417,418     $1,054,400
Work in progress                         376,047        239,645
Finished goods                           366,290        360,752
                                      ----------     ----------
Total                                 $2,159,755     $1,654,797
                                      ==========     ==========

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property,  plant and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation and amortization
of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line  method based upon
the  estimated  useful lives of the assets,  except for  leasehold  improvements
which  are  amortized  over  the  shorter  of  the  life  of  the  lease  or the
improvements. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

                     Classification                       Life
                 ===========================          ==========
                 Machinery and equipment              5-15 years
                 Tooling and dies                        5 years
                 Leasehold improvements                  5 years

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when finished products are shipped.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment  whenever events or changes
in  circumstances  indicate that the carrying  amount of these assets may not be
recoverable. The Company assesses these assets for impairment based on estimated
future cash flows from these assets.

INCOME TAXES

The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes.

CASH FLOWS

For the purpose of the  statement  of cash flows,  the  Company  considers  cash
equivalents  to  include  cash  only and to  exclude  any  near-cash  short-term
investments.

                        See independent auditors' report

                                      F-6




ESTIMATES

Generally  accepted  accounting  principles  require that  financial  statements
include  estimates  by  management  in  the  valuation  of  certain  assets  and
liabilities.  The  Company's  management  estimates  the  reserve  for  doubtful
accounts,  the reserve for obsolete inventory,  the useful lives of property and
equipment and the valuation  allowance for deferred tax assets.  Management uses
its historical  record and knowledge of its business in making these  estimates.
Accordingly, actual results may differ from estimates.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research  and  development   expenditures  are  expensed  as  incurred  and  are
approximately as follows for the years ended January 31,

                         2002                     2003
                    ===============         ==============
                      $ 137,600               $ 131,200
                    ===============         ==============

EARNINGS PER SHARE

In the first  quarter of the year ended  January 31, 1999,  the Company  adopted
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (FAS
128),  which  supersedes  Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under FAS
128,  basic  earnings  per  common  share is  computed  by  dividing  net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were  exercised  or  converted  into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amount of certain of the Company's financial instruments, including
accounts  receivable and accounts  payable,  approximates  fair value due to the
relatively  short  maturity of such  instruments.  The Company's  long-term debt
approximates fair value.

SEGMENT REPORTING

Due to  the  discontinuance  of  the  Quality  Controlled  Cleaning  Corporation
business segment, the Company operates in only one business segment.

NOTE 2 - LINE OF CREDIT

Subsequent to the 2002 year-end,  the Company  restructured its credit facility.
The Company now maintains a revolving credit line of $1,000,000 with an interest
rate of prime plus 0.25% per annum  that is  secured by the  Company's  accounts
receivable and inventories and consists of two revolving credit  agreements with
one  bank.  This new  structure  is not  contingent  on the  Company's  level of
accounts receivable.  One agreement is a $250,000 term note that is payable over
four years and expires in March 2006, and the other is a $750,000 line of credit
that expires in June 2003. The terms of these loan  agreements  contain  certain
restrictive  covenants,  including maintenance of: (i) aggregate net worth (plus
subordinated  debt,  less any  intangible  assets  and less any  amount due from
shareholders,  officers  and  affiliates  of  the  Company)  of  not  less  than

NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTION PLANS

In August 2001, the Company  implemented a new Incentive Stock Option Plan which
provides  options to purchase up to 33,333 shares of the Company's  Common Stock
for officers,  directors,  and key employees,  at an exercise price equal to the
fair market value on the date of grant as  determined by the Board of Directors.
The shares  issued under the Option Plan shall become  vested over periods up to
three years.  On April 4, 2002 10,000  options were granted at an exercise price
of $5.70 per share.  As of January  31, 2003 there were  10,000  shares  granted
under the plan.

Under a previous plan, the Company had issued stock options to certain officers,
directors,  and key  employees  to purchase  shares of its Common  Stock  within
prescribed periods at prices that varied between $3.75 to $12.15 per share. This
plan was terminated  upon the  consummation  of the August 2001 Incentive  Stock
Option  Plan.  As of January 31,  2003,  there were  options for 9,667 shares of
common stock  outstanding  of which options for 9,465 shares of common stock are
exercisable.

Statement  of  Financial   Accounting  No.  123,   "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation,"  requires  companies to measure employee stock compensation plans
based on the fair value method of accounting.  However, the statement allows the
alternative  of continued use of Accounting  Principles  Board (APB) Opinion No.
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," with pro-forma disclosure of net
income earnings per share  determined as if the fair value based method had been
applied in measuring  compensation cost. The Company has elected the alternative

                        See independent auditors' report

                                       F-8




of continued use of APB No. 25. The  Black-Scholes  valuation method was used to
determine if the fair value of the options  required a pro-forma  disclosure  of
their  impact on earnings  per share.  The  assumptions  used were (1) Risk Free
Interest Rate of 1.77%; (2) Stock  Volatility  Factor of 4%; (3) Expected Option
Life of 5 years; and (4) No expected dividend yield. No pro-forma  disclosure is
presented  because  the stock  options  granted in fiscal  2003 had no  dilutive
effect.

On January  2,  2003,  the  Company  announced  its  intention  to sell  between
1,300,000  and  2,600,000  shares of common  stock at a price of $7.75 per share
through a private  placement.  The Board of Directors  approved the terms of the
private  placement,  subject to stockholder  approval,  after careful review and
analysis with input and guidance  from  management  and the Company's  financial
advisors.  A Special Meeting of stockholders has been called to be held on April
15, 2003,  for among other  things,  approving the  consummation  of the private
placement.  Assuming the private  placement is approved,  it is  anticipated  to
close promptly following the Special Meeting.

Pursuant to the terms of the private placement,  the Bosselmann Group and/or its
affiliates  agreed to invest not less than $2 million in the  private  placement
and the  balance  of the  investments  would be from  accredited  investors  (as
defined in Rule 501(c) of  Regulation  D under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended).  In connection with the private placement,  on January 2, 2003, Ranier
Bosselmann (a principal of the Bosselmann  Group) was appointed to the Company's
Board of  Directors as the Vice  Chairman of the Board of Directors  (increasing
the size of the Board of  Directors to eight).  If the private  placement is not
approved or is otherwise not consummated, he has agreed to resign from the Board
of  Directors  and as  Vice  Chairman.  Following  the  closing  of the  private
placement,  four of the  Company's  current  directors  will  resign and will be
replaced by three new directors to be nominated by Mr. Bosselmann. The three new
directors  are DeSoto  Jordan,  James Quinn and Daniel  Levinson.  The three new
directors will be appointed by the remaining  members of the Board of Directors,
and  stockholders  will not have an  opportunity to vote on their election until
the next succeeding  election of directors  following the closing of the private
placement.

                       See independent auditors' report.

                                      F-12





Upon the approval  and  consummation  of the private  placement,  purchasers  of
shares in the private placement will hold shares representing  between 72.4% and
84% of the total shares  outstanding,  on a fully diluted basis. The Company has
agreed to file a  registration  statement to register  such shares no later than
180 days  following  the  closing of the private  placement.  The sale of common
stock in the private placement will result in a significant dilution of existing
stockholders'  ownership  interest in the Company.  The net proceeds received by
the Company in the  offering,  estimated  to be between  $9.8  million and $19.7
million, will be used to provide the Company with additional working capital and
additional capital for acquisitions in growth-oriented industries.


                       See independent auditors' report.

forth.

            NOW  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  mutual  promises  of the
parties to each other, it is agreed as follows:

            1.  EMPLOYMENT.  The Company hereby employs and the Executive hereby
accepts  employment  upon the terms and conditions  hereinafter  set forth.  The
Company,  as used throughout this agreement,  shall mean and include the Company

            3.  COMPENSATION.  For all services  rendered by the Executive under
this  agreement,  the Company  shall pay the  Executive a salary of $165,000 per
year,  payable  semi-monthly.  The  compensation  provided for in this paragraph
shall be in addition to any pension or retirement benefits,  bonuses, directors'
fees,  stock  options  or salary  increases  to which the  Executive  may become
entitled in the future at the  discretion  of the Company and the  existence  of
this  agreement  shall not be deemed in any way to preclude the  Executive  from
receiving any such additional  benefits nor to oblige the Company to provide any
such additional benefits.

            The Executive shall also receive the sum of $550.00 monthly from the
Company for use of the Executive's automobile.

            The Company shall provide and maintain a term life insurance  policy

this agreement, during normal business hours be engaged in any business activity
whether  or not such  business  activity  is pursued  for gain,  profit or other







pecuniary advantage; but this shall not be construed as preventing the Executive
from  investing  his personal  assets in business  which do not compete with the
Company in such form or manner as will not require  any  services on the part of
the  Executive in the  operation  of the affairs of the  Companies in which such
investments  are  made and in  which  his  participation  is  solely  that of an
investor.

            6. DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT. The Executive
recognizes and acknowledges that the Company's trade secrets and customers lists
as they may exist from time to time are  valuable,  special and unique assets of

or after the term of his employment, in whole or in part, disclose such secrets,
or processes to any person, firm,  corporation,  association or other entity for
any reason or purpose  whatsoever,  nor shall the Executive make use of any such
property  for  his  own  purposes  or  for  the  benefit  of any  person,  firm,
corporation or other entity (except the Company) under any circumstances  during
or after the term of his  employment.  For a period  of two (2)  years  from and

employee,  partner or other  participant  in any business so  competing.  In the
event of a breach or  threatened  breach by the  Executive of the  provisions of
this paragraph,  the Company shall be entitled to an injunction  restraining the
Executive from such breach. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the
Company  from  pursuing  any other  remedies  available  to the Company for such
breach or threatened breach.

            The  nature  of  the   Company's   business  is  both  national  and
international  in concept and al parties to this agreement fully  understand and
accept  the  necessity  for the  restrictive  covenant  which is to be  strictly
construed against the Executive.
