Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim
periods presented. These financial statements do not include all disclosures
associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in
conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended January 31, 1995.
(b) Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each
period. Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of certain stock
options under the treasury stock method. Fully diluted earnings per share have
not been separately presented since they are not materially different.

Note 3 - ACQUISITION
On August 1, 1994, the Company acquired Grass Instrument Co., a privately
held corporation ("Grass"), and Cannon Manufacturing Company, a privately held
corporation ("Cannon") affiliated with Grass by common ownership. Following a
merger, the combined businesses of Grass and Cannon continue as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company under the name "Grass Instrument Co."
On an unaudited proforma basis, assuming Grass and Cannon had been acquired
on February 1, 1994, the Company's consolidated net sales would have been
$11,510,508$31,699,192 for the threenine months ended July 30, 1994 and $20,478,354 for the six
months ended July 30,October 29, 1994. The proforma effect on
net income and earnings per share is not material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
- ---------------------
Net sales in the current quarter and six months increased 19% and 39%,
respectively,decreased 4% compared to the prior year
totals. Excluding salesquarter. Sales of Grass Instrument Co., a business acquired at the beginning of
the new
business acquiredprior year quarter (see noteNote 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements), net salesaccounted for the seconddecrease. In the prior year quarter, sales of
this business were higher than typical for a third quarter.
Net sales in the current nine months increased 21% compared to sales in the
prior year nine months. Excluding sales of the current fiscal year decreased
approximately 6% as compared tonew business for the second quarter a year ago. For thefirst six
months of the current fiscal year, sales on a comparable net sales were approximately 9%
higher than forbasis increased 4% in the
same period of the prior year. Changescurrent nine months.
In all periods, changes in sales have been spread between recorders/printers and bar code printerall products in
all geographic market sectors. Export sales have shown the most growth in the
current year. The Company anticipates an overall sales increase in the last
quarter of the current year.
Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 43%39% for the secondthird
quarter of the current year and 41%44% for the same quarter of the prior year. The
decline is attributable mainly to less than expected sales, with and without the
new business. Such lower volume resulted in an unfavorable rate of overhead
absorption.
The consolidated gross profit percentage was 40% for the nine months of the
current year and 45% for the same period of the prior year. In addition to the
identified impact on the current quarter, the decline reflects inclusion of the
new business for the first six months of the current year. Foryear but not of the prior
year, the
percentages were 46% and 45%, respectively. The declines were due in part to
the inclusion of sales of the newyear. This business which historically has experienced substantially lower margins.
ExcludingIn keeping with the anticipated sales increase, the Company anticipates an
increase in gross profit in the fourth quarter of the new business, gross profit
was 43% in the current second quarter and 43% for the current six months. Gross
profit margins of the new business have been improved through the introduction
of certain manufacturing efficiencies and selected modest price increases.
Overall, margins in the currentyear.
As compared to prior year have been affected by product sales mix and
increased sales of certain products to dealers and independent sales
representatives who receive a resale discount.
Selling,totals, selling, general and administrative
expenses withoutrose by 5% in the current quarter and, excluding the new business
acquired, rose by approximately 12%9% in both the second quarter and six months of the current fiscal year as compared to amounts for the same periods in the prior
fiscal year.nine months. There werehave been no individually
significant expenses affecting the totals. The most substantial changes in the
current year resulted from increased advertising and from additional sales
personnel and their related expenses.
ResearchThere were no individual research and development costs in either the
current second quarter and sixor nine months did not varywhich varied significantly from comparable
previous year totals. The level of such costs remains high, however, reflecting
the Company's commitment to the development of new and improved products.
Interest and dividend income, particularly for the current nine months,
decreased noticeably compared to such income in the current second
quarter and six months compared to prior year totals because of a
reduction in invested funds following the acquisition for cash of thea new business
referred toas mentioned above.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Financial Condition:
- -------------------
Long-term debt appearing in the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of
each respective period consists of the remainder of an industrial development
revenue bond financing used in prior years to construct facilities and make
major acquisitions of machinery and equipment.
The Company's present cash and investment securities, together with funds
generated from operations and capital resources available to it, are expected to
satisfy requirements for working capital and other needs for the foreseeable
future. The increased investment in inventories shown in the latest balance
sheet is in accordance with business plans. No additional long-term financing
is planned.
