                                     -----------  ----------
Revenue                                  $17,652     $14,030
Net income                                $1,470      $2,764  *
Net income per share - basic               $0.09       $0.16  *
Average Common Shares Outstanding     17,057,217  17,623,996
 *includes other income of $899



    Prior year net income included other income from collection of a previously written off Note Receivable in the amount of $899,000 or $0.05. Revenue growth reflects strong demand for Polytech's automotive trim products and higher than usual sales volumes at Poli-Twine.
    Working capital has increased primarily for three reasons; (a) higher twine sales in the quarter are not due until future quarters, (b) growth at Polytech has incrementally increased working capital, and (c) disruption of timely account receivable collection from our automotive customers owing to statutory holiday's at quarter end.
    TecSyn continues to negotiate the terms of a definitive agreement of purchase and sale with the buyer of the Poli-Twine Business.
    TecSyn is the world's largest supplier of automotive restraint and convenience netting products, and the world's most advanced manufacturer of powdered metal products utilizing TecSyn's proprietary cold isostatic compaction technology.
