The accompanying financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and
reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which
are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and operating results for the interim periods. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto, together with the management's discussion and analysis,
contained on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1996. The results of
operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.

        NOTE 2:  Net Income Per Share

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares (warrants and options) outstanding during the period,
calculated using the treasury stock method.

Item 2   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        The following information should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited financial statements included herein (see Item 1) and the financial 
information contained in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended June 30, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to three months ended September
30, 1995.

        Net sales. Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, increased
$343,000 or 15.6% over the same period in fiscal 1996. This increase is a result
of the Company's increased penetration into the Asian and Pacific Rim markets
due to the expansion of the Company's sales efforts in that region, as well as
initial sales of the Company's new vibration and spin welder products.

        Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased from 50.4% of sales for the three
months ended September 30, 1995 to 52.5% of sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Initial costs associated with the vibration welder line
caused the cost of sales of these products, as a percentage of their net sales
during the period, to be higher that the Company has experienced with other
product lines. The Company is not able to pass these initial costs on to the
customer.

        Selling Expenses. Selling expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1997,
increased $53,000 or 8.4% over the same period in fiscal 1996. As a percentage
of net sales these expenses decreased to 27.1% from 28.9% over the same periods.
This decrease in sales expenses as a percentage of sales is a result of the
Company maintaining fixed costs while increasing sales.

        General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
for the first quarter of fiscal 1997, increased $77,000 or 54.1% over the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses increased
to 8.7% from 6.5% over the same period in fiscal 1996. This increase is
primarily attributable to increased costs associated with the Company's
obligations as a new public company, including professional fees, and directors'
and officers' insurance, as well as normal annual increases in salaries.

        Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased $27,000 or 36.6% over the same period in fiscal 1996. The largest
factor contributing to this increase was the planned expansion of the research
and development department's technical staff.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operations of the Company used approximately $451,000 during the three months
ended September 30, 1996 as a result of increasing inventory while reducing
accounts payable. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company
invested approximately $27,000 in new capital equipment and leasehold
improvements. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was $6,010,000.
As of September 30, 1996, the Company's working capital had increased to
$6,120,000 representing an increase of approximately 1.8%. During the first
quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company increased its borrowings under its line of
credit by approximately $200,000.

The Company's principal credit line is a $1,000,000 bank credit facility bearing
interest at one-half of one percent above the prime rate. This credit
arrangement matures on February 28, 1997.
