Sales increased 40% to $213.2 million in the first quarter of 1995 compared 
to the first quarter of 1994.  Sales increased in each of the major product 
lines of the Company - semiconductor test systems, circuit-board test 
systems, telecommunications test systems, and backplane connection systems. 
The largest increases in sales occurred in semiconductor test systems and 
backplane connection systems.  Sales of semiconductor test systems grew as
semiconductor manufacturers continued to add capacity in respons
ology products in the Company's commercial customer base.  As a result
of the increase in sales volume, income before taxes increased $25 million
to $44.2 million in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period
in 1994.

Incoming orders increased 84% in the first quarter of 1995 to $289 million.
Backlog at the end of the first quarter of 1995 was $490 million, compared
to $414 million at December 31, 1994. 



Cost of sales was 55% of sales in the first quarter of 1995 compared to 56%
in the first quarter of 1994.  This reduction is due to the fact that the
increase in sales volume has permitted increased utilization of certain
fixed and semi-variable components of the Company's overhead structure.

Engineering and development expenses were 9% of sales in the first quarter
of 1995, compared to 10% in the first quarter of 1994.  This decline is 
attributed to the dollar amount of these expenses increasing at a lesser
rate than sales are increasing.  Engineering and development expenses grew
$3.7 million in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 
1994, as a result of increased investment in new product development of 
semiconductor test systems.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased from 21% of sales to 16% of 
sales in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first quarter of 1994, 
as the dollar amount of these expenses increased only 8% while sales 
increased 40%.

In the first three months of 1995, the Company had net interest income of 
$2.5 million compared to $0.6 million in the first three months of 1994.  
This change was due to higher levels of invested cash and higher interest 
rates in the first three months of 1995 compared to the first three months 
of 1994.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company's effective tax rate was 35% 
compared to 31% for the year ended December 31, 1994.  The Company was able 
to operate with an effective tax rate below the federal statutory rate of 
35% in 1994 through the utilization of tax credit carryforward and foreign 
loss carryforward amounts.

generated from the Company's employee stock option and stock purchase plans,
including the related tax benefit.  Cash of $15.3 million was used to fund
