issued 4,000 shares of common stock to Volt pursuant to the anti-dilution
provisions of the Merger Agreement as a result of the exercise by employees of
Triple-I of options granted prior to the Merger, which options were assumed by

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

       capacities to Volt, which has a number of subsidiaries including the
       Company (and, prior to the Merger, Autologic). It is not feasible to
       allocate any portion of Mr. Shaw's cash compensation to the Company and
       none is borne by the Company.

(3)    Represents contributions by Volt (including an allocable share of
       terminated employees unvested contributions) under Volt's Employee Stock
       Ownership Plan prior to the Merger for Mr. Doolittle with respect to
       services rendered to Autologic. Allocations for fiscal 1996 prior the to

       salary for Mr. Edwards in Fiscal 1995 represents consulting fees. Amounts
       reflected as bonuses represent commissions based on sales. Options
       granted to Mr. Edwards in fiscal 1995 were granted by Triple-I to
       purchase common stock of Triple-I, were assumed by the Company under the
       Merger Agreement and now represent options to purchase the same number of
       shares of the Company's common stock.

STANDARD COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Each director who is not an employee of either the Company or Volt (Messrs.
Leroy Bell, Brian LeClair, Paul H. McGarrell and Ralph S. Roth) receives a
director's fee at an annual rate of $15,000 plus $1,000 for each meeting of the
Board of Directors attended other than telephonically. Such directors are also
reimbursed by the Company for their reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred
in attending meetings and performing services on behalf of the Company.

On January 30, 1996, Messrs. William Shaw, Jerome Shaw and James J. Groberg,
executive officers and key employees of Volt, were granted options to purchase
9,000, 9,000 and 5,000 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock under
the Company's 1995 Employee's Incentive Stock Option Plan, which permits the
grant of options to key employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and parents
(including Volt). The exercise prices of the options granted to William Shaw and
Jerome Shaw are $13.20 per share, 110% of the market value of the Company's
common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of the option granted
to Mr. Groberg is $12.00 per share, 100% of the market value of the Company's
common stock on that date. Each option is exercisable at any time during its
five year term (ten years in the case of Mr. Groberg), commencing one year after
the date of grant, subject to earlier termination at specified times following
termination of employment, death or disability.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

To date, all decisions regarding the cash compensation payable by the Company to
executive officers of the Company have been made by the Compensation Committee
of the Board of Directors, which consists of all members of the Board other than
Messrs. Doolittle and Edwards. None of the directors serving on the Compensation
Committee receive cash compensation from the Company. To date, all decisions
regarding the granting of stock options by the Company have been made by the
Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors, which consists of Messrs.
McGarrell, LeClair (who replaced John Kountz on the Committee following Mr.
Kountz's death) and Roth, non-employee directors of the Company. None of the
directors serving on the Stock Option Committee has been granted options to
purchase common stock of the Company or Volt. Mr. LeClair is a partner in the
law firm of Mahoney, Hawkes & Goldings, which firm (and its predecessor) was
retained by the Company during the year ended November 1, 1996 to perform legal
services.

EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION AGREEMENTS

The Company was also a party to an Employment Agreement dated as of December 26,
1996 with Dennis D. Doolittle which provides for an indefinite term of
employment subject to termination on three months' notice by either party and an

of Directors.

The Company is also a party to an Employment Agreement dated as of January 4,
1996 with Alden L. Edwards which provided for a two-year term of employment from
the date of the Merger (subject to possible extension and earlier termination)

         beneficially, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities

         there is significant common ownership of the voting stock of FIL and 
         FMR and some common directors, FIL and FMR is each of the view that 
         it is not acting together with the other as a "group" regarding the 
         shares beneficially owned by it and it is not required to include in 
         the number of shares it beneficially owns for purposes of Section

         Edwards, 60,000; James J. Groberg, 5,000; Ralph S. Roth, 8,000; Jerome
         Shaw, 9,000; William Shaw, 9,000; and all executive officers and
         directors as a group, 101,000.

(6)      Excludes the shares owned by Volt. Messrs. William  Shaw, Jerome Shaw
         and James J. Groberg are executive officers and directors of Volt and
         Messrs. William Shaw and Jerome Shaw are principal stockholders of
         Volt.

ITEM 13 -- CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

On October 5, 1995, an Agreement and Plan of Merger was entered into among Volt,
Autologic and Triple-I (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Volt, which
owned all of the outstanding stock of Autologic, agreed, among other things, to
merge Autologic into, and transfer the stock of Volt's foreign affiliates which
were engaged in Autologic's operations to, the Company in exchange for 3,333,000
shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, 58,500 shares of Triple-I
common stock owned by Volt were, like all other outstanding shares of Triple-I
common stock, each converted into one share of common stock of the Company. As a
result of the foregoing, Volt acquired 58% of the Company's common stock that
was outstanding immediately following the Merger. Volt's stock ownership in the
Company is through Volt's wholly-owned subsidiary, NUCO I, Ltd. As of the date
the letter of intent related to the Merger was entered into, Triple-I had
outstanding options, granted pursuant to employees' and directors' stock option
plans, to acquire 594,000 shares of Triple-I common stock. The Merger Agreement
provides that, to the extent that shares were issued by Triple-I upon exercise
of such options prior to the Merger or are issued by the Company (which assumed
Triple-I's obligation to issue shares to optionholders) upon exercise of such
options subsequent thereto, Volt is to receive 100 additional shares of common
stock of the Company for every 590 shares of Company common stock issued with
respect to the exercise of such options. To date, the Company has issued 4,000
shares of common stock and is obligated to issue 4,000 additional shares of
common stock to Volt as a result of the exercise of such Triple-I options.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Triple-I, a publicly-held company, was,
pursuant to a vote of Triple-I's stockholders, also merged into the Company with
each of the 2,405,620 outstanding shares of common stock of Triple-I being
exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, the Fidelity Entities (see Item 12), as the owners of 658,276 shares
of common stock of Triple-I, and Volt, as the owner of 58,500 shares of common
stock of Triple-I, received (as did all other Triple-I stockholders) in the
Merger a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of
shares of Triple-I owned by them in exchange for their shares of common stock of
Triple-I. Exclusive of the shares received by Volt, Triple-I's stockholders
(including the Fidelity Entities) received 42% of the Company's common stock
outstanding immediately following the Merger.

Immediately prior to the Merger, Autologic was indebted to Volt in an amount
equal to approximately $89,525,000 for loans made to Autologic (substantially
all of which loans were made prior to 1987), accrued interest thereon (which for
the three months in fiscal 1996 prior to the Merger aggregated approximately
$583,000) and Autologic's proportional (on the basis of assets employed) share
of corporate general and administrative expenses (which aggregated $19,000 for
the three month period in fiscal 1996 preceding the Merger). As part of the
Merger, Volt contributed such amounts to the Company's capital.

Under the Merger Agreement, Volt agreed to provide the Company with credit
facilities of $2,250,000 until January 28, 1998 in such manner as Volt may
determine in its sole discretion, with such credit to be extended at the prime
rate in effect from time to time at The Chase Manhattan Bank. Pursuant to this
arrangement, on January 30, 1997, the Company borrowed $600,000 from Volt, all
of which has been repaid. Interest (which was at the rate of 8.25% per annum)
aggregated $2,034.

As part of the Merger, the Company entered into a three-year lease with Volt
Realty Two, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volt (the "Landlord"), pursuant
to which the Company has been leasing approximately 134,000 square feet of space
in Thousand Oaks, California, formerly occupied by Autologic, at a rental which
was initially $6.00 per square foot per year, a rental based upon prevailing
rentals charged in the area at the time the Merger Agreement was entered into.
During the period from the date of the Merger through November 1, 1996, the
Company paid rent to the Landlord aggregating $604,000. Pursuant to the terms of
the lease, as amended in December 1996, the Company's Board of Directors
established a new rental rate based on prevailing rates in the general area,
which resulted in a slight decrease in rent. During the remaining term of the
lease, the Company's Board of Directors may again, unilaterally, but in good
faith and utilizing certain reasonableness standards, redetermine whether there
should be a further increase or decrease in the base rent and/or increase (if
the space is then available) or decrease the amount of rented space. The Company
is also obligated to pay all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and repairs
related to the facility. For the three months during the fiscal year prior to
the Merger, rent charged to Autologic by the Landlord was $418,000.

Since the Merger, substantially all general and administrative services
previously rendered by Volt to Autologic have been performed by the Company's
internal staff and third party providers, except that, in fiscal 1996 the
Company incurred $27,000 in legal fees to Volt subsequent to the Merger under a
$3,000 a month retainer arrangement that provides the Company access to Volt's
in-house legal staff.



<PAGE>   9

Both the Company and Autologic also have sold equipment and services to Volt for
resale and internal use, which, if for resale, are priced at approximately 80%
of normal end-user prices and, if for internal use, are priced at normal
end-user prices. These sales aggregated approximately $758,000 during the year
ended November 1, 1996. During fiscal 1996, Volt advanced on behalf of the
Company certain insurance premiums (approximately $719,000) and other operating
costs, such as real estate taxes and premiums for foreign currency options and
certain Merger costs (an aggregate of approximately $515,000), for which Volt is
to be reimbursed by the Company at Volt's cost.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company was indebted to Volt in the net amount
of $771,000 at November 1, 1996. The amount of such net advances had been
reduced to $618,000 at January 31, 1997. No interest is being charged by Volt on
this indebtedness.
