NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

     (a)  The condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this 
          Form 10-QSB have been prepared from the accounting records without 
          audit on a basis consistent with the financial statements included 
          in the Company's annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission for the preceding fiscal year. Certain information and
          footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
          have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
          of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished
          reflects all adjustments and disclosures which are, in the opinion of
          management, of a normal, recurring nature, and necessary for a fair
          statement of the results for the interim periods. This report should
          be read in conjunction with the Company's 1995 Annual Report on
          Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the interim periods
          presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for
          the entire year.

PART I/ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were $1,684,000, a 4% 
decrease from sales of $1,750,000 in the same period last year. Net sales for 
the six months ended March 31, 1996, were $3,244,000, a 1% increase from 
sales of $3,201,000 in the same period last year. The decrease in sales for 
the three month period ended March 31, 1996, was primarily attributable to a 
decline in sales of microwave counters to government contractors and 
commercial customers. The increase in sales for the six months period ended 
March 31, 1996, was primarily attributable to sales of product configured in 
the VXIbus format to government contractors.

Gross margin decreased to 40% in the second fiscal quarter of 1996, from 56% 
in the second fiscal quarter of 1995. Gross margin was 39% for the six months 
ended March 31, 1996, as compared to 51% for the same period last year. The 
decrease for both periods was primarily attributable to a lower average 
selling price on product sales for one government program. The Company 
expects the effect of this government program to diminish over the next 
fiscal quarter.

Incoming orders for the second fiscal quarter were $1,238,000, a 21% decrease 
from orders of $1,573,000 for the same period a year ago. Incoming orders for 
the six months ended March 31, 1996, were $2,554,000, a 21% decrease from 
orders of $3,234,000 for the same period a year ago. Backlog at March 31, 
1996, was $481,000, a 42% decrease from a backlog of $836,000 at the end of 
the second fiscal quarter last year. The decrease in orders for both periods, 
and backlog, resulted primarily from a decrease in orders for product 
configured in the VXI format from government contractors, compared to the 
same periods a year ago.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased 35% to $265,000 in 
the second fiscal quarter of 1996, compared to $196,000 for the same quarter 
last year. Research, development and engineering expenses increased 25% to 
$466,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $372,000 for 
the same period last year. The increase in research, development and 
engineering expenses for both periods was primarily attributable to new 
product development expenditures.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 21% to $520,000 during 
the second fiscal quarter of 1996, compared to $661,000 for the same quarter 
last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 10% to 
$1,052,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996, compared to $1,170,000 
for the same period last year. The decrease in selling, general and 
administrative expenses for both periods is due primarily to a deferral of 
advertising costs to subsequent quarters of fiscal 1996, and no accrued 
bonuses, compared to the same periods last year.

PART I/ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued)

The Company earned net income of $13,000 for the second fiscal quarter of 
1996, as compared to net income of $175,000 during the same period last year. 
A credit of $111,000 due to the forgiveness by the Company's Board of 
Directors of accrued directors' fees as of February 13, 1996, is included in 
second quarter net income. A net loss of $122,000 was recorded for the six 
months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to net income of $140,000 for the 
same period last year. A gain on sale of capital equipment of $50,000 is also 
included in the six month net loss ended March 31, 1996. The decrease in 
earnings for both periods, compared to the same periods last year, is 
primarily due to decreased gross margin resulting from product sales to one 
government program, and increased research, development and engineering 
expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At March 31, 1996, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investment balance was $374,000, as compared with a cash, cash equivalents 
and short-term investment balance of $445,000 at September 30, 1995. At March 
31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. 
At March 31, 1996, working capital decreased $185,000 from September 30, 
1995, and the Company's current ratio decreased to 1.95:1 from 2.09:1 over 
the same time period.

On November 27, 1995, the Company renewed its bank line of credit ("line") 
which provides for borrowings up to 70% of eligible accounts receivable, not 
to exceed $500,000, which expires November 15, 1996. Interest is charged at 
the bank's prime rate plus 2% provided that the interest rate in effect each 
month shall not be less than 7.5% per annum, and is payable monthly. This 
line is secured by the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and fixed 
assets. The agreement, as amended, contains various restrictive covenants 
requiring, among other matters, the maintenance of minimum levels of tangible 
net worth and certain financial ratios, including debt to net worth. At March 
31, 1996, the Company was in compliance with the restrictive covenants of the 
line. However, the Company believes that it will not remain in compliance 
with such covenants during the remaining portion of fiscal 1996 unless it 
obtains a waiver from its lender. Borrowings of $180,000 were outstanding 
under the line at March 31, 1996.

The Company believes that the cash on hand, funds generated from operations 
and borrowings under the Company's line of credit will adequately finance the 
Company's operations during the remaining portion of fiscal 1996. If the 
Company is unable to obtain a waiver of noncompliance of the restrictive 
covenants under its line, the Company believes that additional funds 
sufficient to adequately finance its operations during fiscal 1996 can be 
obtained from the liquidation of its short-term investments and further 
reductions in expenses.
