NOTE 7 - ACQUISITION OF CHICAGO LASER SYSTEMS, INC.

On July 12, 1994, the Company announced the signing of an agreement to acquire
the stock of Chicago Laser Systems, Inc. (Chicago Laser), a privately held
company based in Des Plaines, Illinois.  The transaction was completed on August
12, 1994.  The purchased consideration consists of approximately $1,280 in cash,
333,000 shares of ESI stock and the assumption of liabilities.  The ESI shares
are restricted shares subject to Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144.
The transaction was accounted for as a purchase acquisition.

The Company is still obtaining certain data related to the acquisition and
accordingly the purchase price allocation remains open.  The Company has
recorded the acquisition at the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed including the recognition of deferred tax assets of $1,120.
The following unaudited pro forma combined income statement data for the nine
months ended February 28, 1995 and 1994 and the three months ended February 28,
1994 was prepared as if the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the

NOTE 8 - SALE OF PRODUCT LINES

During the second quarter ended November 30, 1993, the Company sold the product
lines and certain assets of the MSI Material Division of its wholly-owned
subsidiary Palomar Systems, Inc., to Ferro Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio.  The
proceeds were received in cash and the funds were used to reduce the current
portion of long-term debt and other short-term debt.  A gain of $2.1 million
from the sale of these product lines was reflected in other income in the
accompanying Consolidated Statements of  Income.



                                                                   Page 10 of 12

                       MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


                              Results of Operations


Net sales for the quarter ended February 28, 1995 increased 73.4% or $12.4
million over the same period of the prior year.  Excluding net sales related to
product lines sold in fiscal 1994, net sales increased 83.1% or  $13.3 million.
This increase results from increased unit sales of  memory repair systems and
miniature capacitor test and production systems.  The addition of Chicago Laser
Systems, Inc. in August 1994 also increased unit sales of laser trimming
equipment.  Year-to-date net sales, excluding revenues of  $3.5 million related
to product lines sold in fiscal 1994, increased 46.4% over the same period of
the prior year as a result of increased unit sales of  all major product lines.

Gross margin for the three months ended February 28, 1995 of 53.1% increased
from the 52.4% reported for the quarter ended February 28, 1994; this results
from increased sales volumes of  ESI's laser based products as well as miniature
capacitor test and production systems.   Gross margin increased from 50.7% for
the nine months ended February 28, 1994 to 52.9% for the nine months ended
February 28, 1995 as a result of  increased sales of  higher margin memory
repair and laser trimming products.  In addition, the divestiture of  lower
gross margin product lines in fiscal 1994 also contributed to the percentage
increase.

Selling, service and administrative expenses for the three months ended February
28, 1995 increased $3.2 million over the same period of the prior year.  Chicago
Laser, acquired in August 1994, accounted for $1.0 million of the increase.
Also,  in conjunction with the increase in net sales, selling commissions
increased; in addition, one time expenditures in the form of incentive
compensation and relocation expenses were incurred.   For the nine months ended
February 28, 1995, selling, service and administrative expenses increased $5.0
million over the same period of the prior year,  as a result of expenses
associated with Chicago Laser, increased selling commissions associated with
higher sales volumes as well as compensation related increases.  As a percentage
of sales, these expenses have decreased slightly from 26.8% for the nine months
ended February 28, 1994 to 26.2% for the nine months ended February 28, 1995.

Research, development and engineering expenses for the current quarter increased
$1.5 million over the same period of the prior year as a result of  $0.5 million
of engineering expenses associated with Chicago Laser as well as compensation
increases and salaries associated with new hires.  In addition,  prior year
expenses include reimbursements of  $0.3 million from the United States
government's Advanced Research Project Agency which are reflected as an offset
to expense.  There were no such reimbursements in the current quarter.  On a
year-to-date basis, research, development and engineering expenses increased
$2.4 million over the prior year for reasons consistent with the current quarter
and as a percentage of sales remained constant at 11.7%.

Interest income (expense) for the three and nine month periods ended February
28, 1995 increased over the comparable periods of the prior year as a result of
interest earned on the proceeds from the secondary stock offering and repaying
all bank and long-term debt.

                   MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONT.)

Other income and expense for the nine months ended February 28, 1994 includes a
gain of $2.1 million related to the sale of  product lines; there were no such
gains in the current year.

The effective tax rate of  30.0% for the three month and nine month periods
ended February 28, 1995 increased from 25.0% for the comparable periods of the
prior year as a result of higher earnings in the United States and Japan during
the current year.

Net income for the quarter ended February 28, 1995 was $3.2 million or $0.39 per
share.  This compares to net income for the three months ended February 28, 1994
of  $1.7 million or $0.26 per share.  Net income was $8.0 million or $1.10 per
share for the nine months ended February 28, 1995 compared to $6.2 million or
$0.96 per share for the nine months ended February 28, 1994.  Year-to-date net
income for the prior fiscal year includes a $1.6 million or $0.24 per share
after tax gain on the sale of product lines.

Orders for the three months ended February 28, 1995 were $36 million; for the
same period last year, incoming orders were $16 million.  Ending backlog on
February 28, 1995 was $23 million.


                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash of  $25.1 million at
February 28, 1995 and a $7.0 million line of credit, none of which was
outstanding at February 28, 1995.  ESI has no debt and a current ratio of
6.0:1.  Working capital increased to $69.8 million at February 28, 1995 from
$36.2 million at May 31, 1994 as a result of  a secondary stock offering in
November 1994, the acquisition of Chicago Laser in August 1994 as well as the
increased level of sales in the current year which has generated a higher level
of receivables.  The capital requirements for the Company's current businesses
are satisfied by existing sources.
