  Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements

  1.      In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
          financial statements contain all adjustments which are necessary for a
          fair statement of results for the periods indicated.

          Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
          financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
          accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
          that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with
          the financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's
          1994 annual report to shareholders.  The results of operations for the
          quarter ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
          operating results for the full year. 

  2.      Earnings (loss) per common and common equivalent shares were
          calculated by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average
          number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
          outstanding.

  3.      Included in the company's net earnings for the six months ended June
          30, 1995 was a $403,000, or 10 cent per share, gain on sale of fixed
          asset.  Included in the company's net loss for the six months ended
          June 30, 1994 was a $1,201,000, or 31 cents per share, special charge
          for management reorganization. 

  4.      The company sold land and a building in the first quarter of 1995. 
          The sale was closed and title passed on March 30, 1995.  The proceeds
          were put into escrow in the company's name.  The escrow will be
          released when the company completes some minor environmental clean-up
          which the company expects to be completed by third quarter, 1995.  The
          company has fully accrued for the clean-up.  The proceeds are included
          in cash and short-term investments on the company's June 30, 1995
          balance sheet.

  Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
           Results of Operations

  For the second quarter ended June 30, 1995, sales decreased 9.5 percent to
  $7,783,000 from $8,597,000 in the prior year's period.  This decrease was due
  to lower shipments to the video lottery and coin-operated arcade game
  segment, caused by an overall decline in the industry.  Gross operating
  profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 11.3 percent, or $876,000,<PAGE>
  compared to 8.1 percent, or $699,000, for the same period last year.  This
  increase is attributed to improved manufacturing productivity, sales of
  higher-margin new products and growing refurbished monitor sales.  Net
  earnings were $149,000, or four cents per share, compared to a net loss of
  $651,000, or 17 cents per share, for the comparable 1994 quarter.  The 1994
  quarter included a $439,000 or 11 cents per share special charge for
  management reorganization.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased 18
  percent to $722,000 from $885,000 due to the lower sales volume and reduced
  costs attributable to prior period cost cutting measures.

  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, sales decreased 14.1 percent to
  $13,940,000 from $16,219,000 in the prior year's period.  Gross operating
  profit, as a percentage of sales, increased to 9.5 percent, or $1,329,000,
  compared to 6.3 percent, or $1,017,000, for the same period last year.  Net
  earnings were $297,000, or eight cents per share, compared to a net loss of
  $1,916,000, or 50 cents per share, for the comparable 1994 period.  The 1995
  results include a $403,000 gain or 10 cents per share on sale of fixed
  asset, while the 1994 results included a $1,201000 or 31 cents per share
  special charge for management reorganization.  Selling and administrative
  expenses decreased 18 percent to $1,399,000 from $1,711,000 due to the lower
  sales volume and reduced costs attributable to prior period cost cutting
  measures.

  As of June 30, 1995, cash and short term investments increased $606,000 from
  December 31, 1994.  Accounts receivable decreased $859,000 to $5,246,000 from
  $6,105,000 due to lower sales volume and tighter collection policies. 
  Inventory increased $375,000 or 6.4 percent to $6,206,000 from $5,831,000 at
  year end 1994 due to management's position to attack the company's
  considerable backlog of orders.

  As of June 30, 1995, notes payable was $1,600,000 compared to $1,925,000 at
  December 31, 1994.  The company has an unsecured revolving line of credit of
  $3,500,000, with an interest rate at prime, from Harris Trust and Savings
  Bank.  Accounts payable increased $755,000 to $2,678,000 from $1,923,000 at
  year end due mainly to the company building up its inventory level.  Accrued
  expenses decreased $1,092,000 to $312,000 from $1,404,000 due mainly to the
  amount paid for a special charge incurred during the first quarter of 1994
  relating to the company's management restructuring..  Working capital
  increased by $539,000 since year-end 1994, to $8,100,000, while corporate
  liquidity continues to be strong as evidenced by a current ratio of 2.76 to
  1.
