MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
----------------------
Net sales were $46.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as
compared to $47.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. Shipments of
mixed signal systems increased over 50% year-to-year as the Company continued
to experience strong demand for these products, particularly from European
customers. Sales of mixed signal systems to three European customers
accounted for approximately 35% of total revenues in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995. Service revenues increased 27% over the first quarter of
fiscal 1994 as the Company continued to expand its service coverage with its
customer base. However, sales of the Company's digital products in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 were substantially less than the first quarter of
fiscal 1994 which reflected the lower demand for these systems from
manufacturers of personal computer-related devices. During the first quarter
of fiscal 1995 the Company recorded sales for its first Delta 50 and Delta
100 new generation digital test systems.
The gross profit margin was 33.9% of net sales in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 compared to 31.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The
improvement in the gross profit margin largely relates to the increase in
mixed signal system sales at higher margins and the growth in service
revenues. In the first quarter of fiscal 1994, the gross profit margin was
adversely affected by a high level of digital sales at lower selling prices.
Although sales of digital systems in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 were at
higher average prices, this improvement was offset by proportionately high
fixed manufacturing costs on the lower level of digital shipments.
Engineering and product development and selling, general and
administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1995, combined, were
$1.9 million less than the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The lower level of
operating expenses is a result of the Company's restructuring and cost
reduction measures which were initiated in the second half of fiscal 1994.
This restructuring program consisted of a plan to eliminate excess leased
facilities and a workforce reduction of 100 employees. The effect of these
measures has primarily reduced selling, general and administrative expenses.
The Company has continued to maintain significant engineering resources for
on-going development of its new digital products and enhancements to the
Synchro system.
Interest expense was $0.4 million higher in the first quarter of fiscal
1995 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The increase in
interest expense relates to the $20.0 million term loan received from Ando
Electric Co., Ltd. in July 1994.
There was no tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as the
Company is in a net operating loss carryforward position in most tax
jurisdictions.
The Company's Japanese subsidiary operated at approximately break-even
in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 and fiscal 1994 and the minority
partner's share of the subsidiary's operating results was insignificant.
As a result of the significantly lower operating expenses, together with
the improvement in the gross profit margin, the Company had net income of
$0.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as compared to a net loss of
$1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
--------------------------------
Cash and equivalents were $13.5 million at October 31,1994 as compared
to $17.2 million at July 31,1994. The decrease in cash and equivalents of
$3.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was a result of $2.0 million
of net cash used in operating activities, $2.8 million of net cash used for
equipment expenditures and $1.1 million of net cash provided by financing
activities.
The Company used $2.0 million of net cash in operating activities as a
result of an increase in working capital requirements in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995. Compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, net sales
increased $4.0 million and a higher proportion of shipments were made to
Europe, which has a longer collection cycle. As a result, accounts
receivable rose $6.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995.
Inventories increased $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995
primarily as a result of materials purchased for early second quarter
delivery requirements, particularly for mixed signal systems. In addition,
inventories relating to the Company's new Delta 50 and Delta 100 digital
systems increased in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. Accounts payable
increased $6.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 1995 as a result of the
higher level of inventory purchases as compared to the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1994. At October 31,1994, the Company had a restructuring reserve of
$10.8 million remaining to cover the estimated future cash flows relating to
excess leased facilities and severance payments. Cash outflows in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 were $0.7 million for excess leased facilities and
were $0.2 million for severance payments.
Additions to property and equipment were $2.8 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995 and exceeded depreciation charges of $2.3 million.
Capital equipment additions consisted primarily of the Company's test systems
and modules used for product development and customer support.
At October 31,1994, the Company's Japanese subsidiary had $8.0 million
in bank borrowings as compared to $6.9 million in borrowings at July 31,
1994. There were no borrowings outstanding at October 31,1994 under the
Company's domestic bank line.
Management believes the Company has sufficient cash resources to meet
its remaining fiscal 1995 cash requirements through a combination of existing
cash balances, borrowing availability under its domestic and Japanese bank
lines and future net cash flows from operations.
