NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 5, 2001
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, 2001. Certain reclassifications have been made to
conform to the current period reporting format.
(b) Net Income per common share has been computed and presented pursuant to
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings
Per Share. Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the period. Net income per share assuming dilution is
based on the weighted average number of shares and, if dilutive, common
equivalent shares for stock options outstanding during the period.

Weighted Average Common Shares

Diluted Effect of Options Outstanding....... 3,877 60,990
Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding --------- ---------
- Diluted................................. 4,245,088 4,479,972
========= =========
For the three month's ended May 5, 2001 and April 29, 2000, the diluted per
share amounts do not reflect options outstanding of 1,668,075 and 987,850
respectively, because their effect is anti-dilutive.
(c) Derivative Instruments and Hedging: On February 1, 2001, the
Company adopted SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133, and as
amended in June 2000 by SFAS No. 138 Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an Amendment to SFAS No. 133
(combined SFAS No. 133). The statement requires companies to record derivatives
on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. Gains or
losses resulting from changes in the values of those derivatives would be
accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it qualifies
for hedge accounting. The adoption of this statement did not have a material
impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
(d) Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized when products or services
are performed and the risk and rewards of ownership have been transferred.
(e) In July 2000, the Emerging Issues Task Force, a body of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board, reached a consensus on Issue No. 00-10, Accounting
for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. The consensus
-6-
requires companies to start reporting amounts billed to customers in a sales
transaction related to shipping and handling as revenue in the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 2001. The Company previously reported these amounts as a reduction
of cost of goods sold. All previous periods presented have been reclassified to
conform to the current practice. The amount reclassed for three months ending
April 29, 2000 was $156,000.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
- ----------------------
Sales in the first quarter were $12,436,000, a decrease of less than 1%
from the prior year's first quarter sales of $12,530,000. Domestic sales were
$9,041,000 down slightly from $9,057,000 for the first quarter of the prior
fiscal year. Sales through the Company's international channels were $3,395,000,
down 2% over previous year's first quarter sales of $3,473,000. Our
international sales were negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S.
dollar that occurred during the first quarter because on a local currency basis
international sales increased 6% from the previous year.
The Company's product groups reported mixed sales results. Grass-
Telefactor's sales increased to $4,519,000, a 6% increase over the $4,256,000
of sales reported in the first quarter of the previous year. This increase is
primarily attributed to the increase in the Grass-Telefactor research and
supplies sales. QuickLabel Systems (QLS) product sales were $4,899,000, down 2%
from the $5,024,000 record level achieved in the first quarter of the previous
year. This decrease is attributed to the decrease in hardware sales. Test &
Measurement (T&M) sales in the quarter were $3,018,000, down 7% from $3,250,000
reported in the first quarter of the previous year. The decline in T&M sales
can be attributed to international channels as T&M's domestic sales increased 6%
when compared to the previous fiscal year.
Gross profit dollars were $5,052,000, a 2% decrease over last year. The
gross profit margin realized in the quarter was 40.6%, a decrease from last
year's margin of 41.3%. Product mix and lower margins in T&M account for this
quarter's result.
Operating Expenses in the quarter were $5,036,000. Selling and general
administrative spending rose 6% from last year to $4,127,000 due to higher
international dealer commissions in this quarter as compared to last year.
Research and development funding decreased 17% from the prior year to
$909,000. In the quarter, R & D spending was 7.3% of sales down from last
year's rate of 8.7%.
Operating income in the quarter was $16,000 a $154,000 decline from last
year.
Other income increased to $171,000 from last year's $42,000. The increase
is attributed to a $125,000 gain relating to the settlement of litigation on a
contract dispute.
Net income in the first quarter was $150,000 equal to $0.04 earnings per
share. This compares to a net income of $158,000, equal to $0.04 earnings per
share in the prior year's first quarter.

Financial Condition:
- --------------------
The Company's Statements of Cash Flows for the three-months ending May 5,
2001 and April 29, 2000 are included on page 5. Net cash flow provided by
operating activities for the current quarter was $294,000 versus cash flow used
by operating activities of $2,138,000 in the first quarter of the previous year.
Cash and securities available for sale declined $239,000 from year-end.
The demand placed on the Company's cash balances during the quarter was
traceable to working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
The collection cycle improved by four days decreasing to 62 days sales
outstanding at the end of the quarter as compared to the 66 days outstanding at
year-end.
Inventory rose to $11,353,000 from the year-end level as the Company
increased its build of components in anticipation of the product launch of the
new Dash 18 and Pronto product lines. As a result, inventory turns declined to
2.2 times from 2.5 times at year-end.
Capital expenditures were $357,000 in the quarter ended May 5, 2001 as the
Company purchased machinery and equipment, information technology hardware and
software and tools and dies.
The Company paid cash dividends in the quarter of $169,000 or $0.04 per
common share.
Safe Harbor Statement
- ---------------------
This document contains forward-looking statements based on current
expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Factors which
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated include,
but are not limited to, general economic, financial and business conditions;
declining demand in the test and measurement markets, especially defense and
aerospace; competition in the specialty printer industry; ability to develop
market acceptance of the QLS color printer products and effective design of
customer required features; competition in the data acquisition industry;
competition in the neurophysiology industry; the impact of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates on the results of operations; the ability to
successfully integrate acquisitions; the business abilities and judgment of
personnel and changes in business strategy.
