4. Short-term Financing

The Company has a credit agreement with its financial lender that provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $2,500,000 with interest generally equal to two and one half percent per annum plus one month LIBOR. The agreement is set to expire in February 2008. The agreement is secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and general intangibles. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenant requirements, tested on an annual basis, that require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of $8,000,000 and a pre-tax interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. In addition, a borrowing base addendum generally allows for borrowing based on an amount equal to eighty five percent of eligible receivables, plus an amount equal to the lesser of either forty percent of eligible inventory or $1,000,000. The revolving credit facility is subject to a review by the Company's lender in 2008. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this loan facility at March 31, 2007.

5. Capital Stock, Treasury Stock, Contributed Capital and Stock Options

Under the Company's Key Employees Stock Option Plans (collectively the "Employee Plans"), incentive stock options, in general, are exercisable for up to ten years, at an exercise price of not less than the market price on the date the option is granted. Non-qualified stock options may be granted at such exercise price and such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may determine. No options may be granted at a price less than $2.925. Options for 103,550 Class A shares were outstanding at March 31, 2007 (117,450 shares at September 30, 2006 and 117,450 shares at March 31, 2006) at prices ranging from $3.125 to $17.25 per share. Options for 13,900 were canceled during the three month period ended December 31, 2006, at a price of $10.75 per share. No other options were granted, exercised or canceled during the three or six month periods presented under the Employee Plans. All options granted under the Employee Plans are exercisable at March 31, 2007.

The Company's Outside Directors Stock Option Plans (collectively the "Directors Plans"), have provided for the automatic grant of options to purchase up to 51,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company, at the fair market value on the date of grant. Options for 51,000 Class A shares were outstanding at March 31, 2007 (48,000 shares at September 30, 2006 and 48,000 shares at March 31, 2006) at prices ranging from $3.55 to $12.25 per share. Options for 6,000 shares were granted under the Directors Plans during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006, at a price of $10.50 and $5.25 per share respectively. Options for 3,000 shares expired during the three month periods ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006 at $8.50 and $18.00 per share respectively. All outstanding options under the Directors Plans become fully exercisable on February 22, 2010.

On October 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, under the modified prospective method for its stock options for both employees and non-employee Directors. The Company previously accounted for stock-based compensation plans under the disclosure only provisions of SFAS 123, which allowed the Company to continue to measure compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".

Compensation cost for fixed based awards are measured at the grant date, and the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value estimates for recognizing the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions which can materially affect the fair value estimates. Employee stock options are immediately exercisable while Director's stock options are exercisable over a three year period. The fair value of stock option grants to Directors is amortized over the three year vesting period. During the three and the six month periods ended March 31, 2007 $3,463 and $6,476 respectively was expensed as share-based compensation. The following weighted-average assumptions were used in the option pricing model for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively: a risk free interest rate of 6.0% and 6.0%; an expected life of 10 and 8 years; an expected dividend yield of 1.9% and 2.0%; and a volatility factor of .37 and .35.


Prior to adopting the provisions of FAS 123(R) the Company's pro forma net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share for the three and the six month periods ended March 31, 2006 would have been as follows:

Unissued shares of Class A common stock (609,416 shares) are reserved for the share-for-share conversion rights of the Class B common stock and stock options under the Employee Plans and the Directors Plans.

6. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payments.  SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25.  The Company adopted this pronouncement in its first quarter ended December 31, 2006 (see note 5).

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company will adopt the provisions of Interpretation No. 48 effective October 1, 2007. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to its financial condition or results of operations due to the adoption of Interpretation No. 48.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.

8. Segment and Related Information

The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which changes the way the Company reports the information about its operating segments.

The Company's four business units have a common management team and infrastructure that offer different products and services. The business units have been aggregated into two reportable segments: 1.) indicators and gauges and 2.) automotive related diagnostic tools and equipment.

Indicators and Gauges
This segment consists of products manufactured and sold primarily to companies in the aircraft and locomotive industry. Within the aircraft market, the primary customers are those companies that manufacture or service business and pleasure aircraft. Within the locomotive market, indicators and gauges are sold to both original equipment manufacturers and to operators of railroad equipment.

Automotive Diagnostic Tools and Equipment
This segment consists primarily of products designed and manufactured to support the testing or servicing of automotive systems using electronic means to measure vehicle parameters. These products are sold to OEM's and to the aftermarket using several brand names and a variety of distribution methods. Included in this segment are products used for state required testing of vehicle emissions. Also included in this segment are fastening control products used primarily by large manufacturers to monitor and control the "nut running process" (the controlled tightening of threaded fasteners)in assembly plants. This equipment provides high quality joint control and documentation.

Results of Operations, Second Quarter (January 1, 2007 through March 31, 2007)
Fiscal 2007 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal 2006
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reportable Segment Information

The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: 1) indicators and gauges and 2) automotive related diagnostic tools and equipment. The indicators and gauges segment consists of products manufactured and sold primarily to companies in the aircraft and locomotive industry. Within the aircraft market, the primary customers are those companies that manufacture or service business and pleasure aircraft. Within the locomotive market, indicators and gauges are sold to both original equipment manufacturers and to operators of railroad equipment. Revenue in this segment was $516,506 and $510,561 for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively and $970,540 and $1,014,878 for the first six months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

The automotive diagnostic tools and equipment segment consists primarily of products designed and manufactured to support the testing or servicing of automotive systems using electronic means to measure vehicle parameters. These products are sold to OEM's and to the aftermarket using several brand names and a variety of distribution methods. Included in this segment are products used for state required testing of vehicle emissions. Also included in this segment are fastening control products used primarily by large manufacturers to monitor and control the "nut running process" (the controlled tightening of threaded fasteners)in assembly plants. This equipment provides high quality joint control and documentation. Revenue in this segment was $1,024,446 and $3,102,840 for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, and $2,762,042 and $5,301,747 for the first six months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

Results of Operations

Product sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $1,368,202 versus $3,381,508 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The 60% decrease in product sales during the current quarter of approximately $2,013,000 was volume related due primarily to decreased sales of automotive diagnostic products, primarily, diagnostic products to OEM's of approximately $1,651,000. Sales of other automotive diagnostic products, primarily, aftermarket products which include emissions products, indicator products and fastening system products decreased by approximately $314,000, $14,000 and $44,000, respectively. Product sales are expected to increase significantly during the Company's third and fourth fiscal quarters due primarily to increased sales of automotive diagnostic products of approximately $2,500,000 to a large OEM customer for a proprietary tool order received in March 2007 and on the Company's belief that it will obtain certification on an emissions product that will result in significant orders from a customer in its third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2007 and continuing into the first quarter of fiscal 2008. 

Service sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $172,750 versus $231,893 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The decrease was volume related and due primarily to a lower sales volume for chargeable repairs. The current level of service sales related to product repair sales is expected to continue for the balance of the fiscal year.

Cost of product sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $973,984 (71.2% of product sales) as compared to $2,114,967 (62.5% of product sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The increase in the cost of product sold percentage was due primarily to a lower sales volume, lower plant utilization and a change in product mix. The current cost of product sold percentage is anticipated to decrease during the balance of the fiscal year.

Cost of service sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $179,694 (104% of service sales) as compared to $182,399 (78.7% of service sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The dollar decrease was due primarily to a lower sales volume of chargeable repairs. The increase in the cost of services sold percentage was primarily due to lower plant utilization and higher warranty costs. The current cost of services sold percentage is anticipated to decrease for the balance of the fiscal year.

Product development expenses were $511,092 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 (37.4% of product sales) as compared to $456,570 (13.5% of product sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The dollar increase was due primarily to increased labor cost in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 while the percentage increase was due to lower product sales. The current level of product development expenses is expected to continue for the balance of the fiscal year.

Marketing and administrative expenses were $1,016,460 (66.0% of total sales) in the second quarter of 2006 versus $1,090,767 (30.2% of total sales) for the same period a year ago. The percentage increase was due to the decrease in the level of total sales for the current fiscal quarter. Marketing expenses were approximately $591,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 versus $664,000 for the same period a year ago. Within marketing expenses, decreases were primarily in travel expense of $7,000, collection expense of $9,000, commissions of $20,000 and sales promotion of $36,000, offset in part by an increase in labor costs of approximately $8,000. Administrative expenses were approximately $425,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 versus $427,000 for the same period a year ago. Within administrative expenses, professional fees decreased approximately $12,000, offset in part by an increase in labor costs of approximately $8,000. The current level of marketing and administrative expenses is expected to increase slightly for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Interest expense was $-0- in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 which compares with $16,374 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The decrease was due to no short-term borrowing during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The current level of interest expense is expected to increase in the second half of the fiscal year due to anticipated financing requirements of anticipated large orders.

Other income was $16,162 in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 which compares with $87,204 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Other income consists primarily of realized gains on the sale of short-term investments, dividend income on short-term investments and interest income on cash and cash equivalents invested. The decrease is due primarily to sales of short-term investments during the previous year that amounted to a gain of $79,600. There were no sales of investments in the current year.

The net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 was $741,416 which compares with a net loss of $105,972 in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The net loss for the current quarter was primarily the result of a lower sales volume.

Unshipped customer orders as of March 31, 2007 were $3,424,000 versus $6,585,000 at March 31, 2006. The decrease was due primarily to decreased orders in automotive diagnostic products of approximately $3,209,000, specifically, $2,853,000 for diagnostic products to automotive OEM's and $355,000 for aftermarket products. Indicator products increased by approximately $48,000. The Company received a single order for approximately $2,500,000 during the current year second quarter for a proprietary tool program to a large OEM compared to a single order for approximately $5,000,000 a year ago. The Company anticipates that most of the current backlog will be shipped in the last half of fiscal 2007.

Results of Operations, Six Months Ended March 31, 2007
Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2006

Product sales for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $3,406,437 versus $5,874,856 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The 42% decrease in product sales during the first six months of the current fiscal year of approximately $2,468,000 was volume related due primarily to decreased sales of automotive diagnostic products, primarily, diagnostic products to OEM's of approximately $1,579,000. Sales of other automotive diagnostic products, primarily, aftermarket products which include emission products and fastening systems product declined by approximately $752,000 and $85,000, respectively. Sales of indicator products decreased by approximately $52,000. Product sales are expected to increase significantly during the Company's third and fourth fiscal quarters.

Service sales for the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $326,145 compared with $441,769 for the same period in fiscal 2006. The decrease was volume related and due primarily to a lower sales volume for chargeable repairs. The current level of service sales related to product repair sales is expected to continue for the balance of the fiscal year.

Cost of product sold was $2,243,845 or (65.9 % of product sales) compared to $3,442,087 (58.6% of product sales) for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in the cost of product sold percentage was due primarily to a lower sales volume, lower plant utilization and a change in product mix. The cost of product sold percentage is expected to decrease in the second half of the fiscal year.

Cost of service sold was $343,967 (105% of service sales) compared with $330,552 (74.8% of service sales) for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The dollar increase was due primarily to lower plant utilization for the first six months of the current fiscal year. The increase in the cost of services sold percentage was primarily due to a lower sales volume of chargeable repairs and lower plant utilization. The cost of services sold percentage is expected to decrease for the balance of the fiscal year.

Product development expenses were $974,480 (28.6% of product sales) compared to $839,898 (14.3% of product sales) for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The dollar increase was due primarily to increased labor costs. The percentage increase was due to lower product sales during the first six months of the current fiscal year. The current level of product development expenditures is expected to continue for the second half of the fiscal year.

Marketing and administrative expenses were $1,930,592 for the six months ended March 31, 2007 (51.7% of total sales) versus $1,954,766 (30.9% of total sales) for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The percentage increase was due to the decrease in the level of total sales during the first six months of the current fiscal year. Marketing expenses were approximately $1,114,000 during the first six months of the current fiscal year versus $1,172,000 for the same period a year ago. Within marketing expenses, decreases were in sales promotion, commissions, advertising, travel expense and collection expense of approximately $42,000, $20,000, $17,000, $10,000 and $18,000, respectively. These decreases were offset in part by an increase in labor costs, show expense and royalties of approximately $30,000,$10,000 and $5,000, respectively. Administrative expenses were approximately $817,000 during the first six months of the current fiscal year versus $783,000 for the same period a year ago. The dollar increase was due primarily to increased labor costs of approximately $52,000 and an increase in directors fees of approximately $8,000, offset in part by a decrease in professional fees of approximately $24,000. The current level of marketing and administrative expenses is expected to increase slightly for the remainder of the fiscal year. 

Interest expense was $1,792 for the six months ended March 31, 2007, and $30,423 for the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to no short-term borrowing requirements during most of the current fiscal year. The current level of interest expense is expected to increase for the remainder of fiscal 2007 due to anticipated financing requirements of anticipated large orders.

Other income of $69,097 compares with other income of $278,932 in the same period last year. Other income consists primarily of realized gains on the sale of short-term investments, dividend income reinvested on short-term investments and interest income on cash and cash equivalents. The decrease is due primarily to gains on the sale of short-term investments realized during the prior year; no sales have occurred in the current year. During the prior year a realized gain of approximately $202,000 was earned on the sale of short-term investments. The current level of other income is expected to decrease for the remainder of fiscal 2007 due to less excess cash and cash equivalents invested in interest bearing accounts.

Recovery of income taxes during the first six months of fiscal 2007 was $575,700 which compares with a recovery of income taxes of $700 in the first six months of fiscal 2006. During both periods the recovery of income taxes was recorded at an effective tax recovery rate of 34%.

The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2007 was $1,132,160 compared with a net loss of $1,469 for the six months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in net loss for the first half of fiscal 2007 is primarily the result of a lower sales volume and no realized gains on sale of short-term investments.

Management projects that the recent receipt of a purchase order from a large OEM customer for approximately $2,500,000 scheduled for shipment during the third quarter of the fiscal year, increased sales of automotive diagnostic products in the Company's core business, and revenue generated from deliveries of product for a large emissions program should generate taxable income during the second half of the fiscal year in line with budgeted expectations. The emissions equipment opportunity is more fully discussed in the Company's 2006 fiscal year Form 10-KSB filing and the Company's 2006 Annual Report to Shareholders. Current assessments are that this opportunity will generate significant sales in fiscal years 2007 and 2008. Management projects increased sales or future cost cutting measures will generate sufficient taxable income during the carryforward period to fully realize deferred tax benefits and credits to be earned in the future. The tax benefits have the effect of reducing future federal income taxes payable. The research and development credit and net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total current assets were $6,176,522, $9,641,667 and $8,099,908 at March 31, 2007, September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively. The decrease of approximately $1,923,000 from March to March is due primarily to the decrease in accounts receivable, inventory and deferred taxes of approximately $1,914,000, $141,000 and $427,000 respectively, offset in part by an increase in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $448,000 and $93,000 respectively. Accounts receivable decreased due to the lower sales volume in the most recent quarter. The decrease from September to March of approximately $3,465,000 is due primarily to the decrease in accounts receivable and inventory of $3,741,000 and $367,000 respectively, offset in part by an increase in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $478,000 and $77,000 respectively. Prepaid expenses increased by approximately $92,000.

Working capital as of March 31, 2007 amounted to $5,026,581 as compared with $6,102,225 a year earlier. Current assets were 5.4 times current liabilities and total cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and receivables were 1.8 times current liabilities. These ratios compare to 4.1 and 1.7, respectively, at March 31, 2006. The quick ratio was 1.0 compared to 1.3 a year ago.

Internally generated funds during the six months ended March 31, 2007 were $2,061,483 and were adequate to fund the Company's primary non-operating cash requirement consisting of capital expenditures and debt payments of $114,372 and $1,348,000 respectively. The primary reason for the positive cash flow from operations was the decrease in accounts receivable and inventory during the period. The Company believes that cash and cash equivalents, together with funds anticipated to be generated by operations and funds available under its credit agreement will provide the liquidity necessary to support its current and anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements through the end of fiscal 2007.

Shareholders' equity during the six months ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $1,199,448 which was the net loss during the period of $1,132,160 and $121,124 of dividends paid less $24,497 accumulated comprehensive income from investments and $29,339 of share-based compensation expense (which includes the cumulative effect of change in accounting for share-based compensation). 

The Company has a credit agreement with its financial lender that provides for a secured revolving credit facility of $2,500,000 with interest generally equal to two and one half percent per annum plus one month LIBOR. The agreement is set to expire in February 2008. The agreement is secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and general intangibles. The credit agreement contains affirmative covenant requirements, tested on an annual basis, that require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of $8,000,000 and a pre-tax interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. In addition, a borrowing base addendum generally allows for borrowing based on an amount equal to eighty five percent of eligible receivables, plus an amount equal to the lesser of either forty percent of eligible inventory or $1,000,000. The revolving credit facility is subject to a review by the Company's lender in 2008. The Company had no outstanding borrowings under this loan facility at March 31, 2007. During fiscal 2007 the Company's business will require a short-term increase in inventory and accounts receivables. Whenever there may be a requirement to increase inventory in fiscal 2007 there will be a negative but temporary impact on liquidity. The Company believes that internally generated funds and the revolving line of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to meet ongoing working capital requirements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are as presented in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation in our Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 2006.

Forward-Looking Statements

The foregoing discussion includes forward-looking statements relating to the business of the Company. These forward-looking statements, or other statements made by the Company, are made based on management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting the Company and are subject to uncertainties and factors (including, but not limited to, those specified below) which are difficult to predict and, in many instances, are beyond the control of the Company. As a result, actual results of the Company could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any such forward-looking statements. These uncertainties and factors include (a) the Company's dependence upon a limited number of customers, (b) the highly competitive industry in which the company operates, which includes several competitors with greater financial resources and larger sales organizations, (c) the acceptance in the marketplace of new products and/or services developed or under development by the Company including automotive diagnostic products, fastening systems products and indicating instrument products, (d) the ability of the Company to further establish distribution and a customer base in the automotive aftermarket, and (e) the Company's ability to capitalize on market opportunities including state automotive emissions programs and OEM tool programs.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.

As of March 31, 2007, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2007 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files and submits under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
