                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Shareholders and 
  Board of Directors 
Calera Recognition Systems, Inc. 
Sunnyvale, California 

We have audited the balance sheet of Calera Recognition Systems, Inc. as of
December 31, 1993 and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1993,
before the restatement in Note 2 resulting from the re-evaluation by the newly
consolidated entity of the cumulative effect of the change in the Company's
accounting for income taxes.  The financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 financial statements, before the restatement, referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects,  the financial position of
Calera Recognition Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 1993, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, effective January 1, 1993,
the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

        In connection with our audits of the financial statements of Calera 
Recognition Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 1993 and for each of the two years 
in the period ended December 31, 1993, we have also audited the related 
financial statement schedule.

        In our opinion, this financial statement schedule, when considered in 
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, 
in all material respects, the information required to be included therein.
