                     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 March 31, 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 quarter
              ended March 31, 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 quarter ended March 31, 1994 was a $762,000,
              or 20 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 May, 1995.  The company
              has fully accrued for the clean-up.  The proceeds are
              included in cash and short-term investments on the
              company's March 31, 1995 balance sheet.



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

         For the first quarter ended March 31, 1995, sales decreased 19.2
         percent to $6,157,000 from $7,622,000 in the prior year's
         period.  This decrease was due to lower shipments to the coin-
         operated arcade game segment, caused by an overall decline in
         the industry.  Gross operating profit, as a percentage of sales,
         increased to 7.4 percent, or $453,000, compared to 4.2 percent,
         or $318,000, 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 $148,000, or four cents per share,
         compared to a net loss of $1,265,000, or 33 cents per share, for
         the comparable 1994 quarter.  Included in the 1995 quarter was a
         gain on sale of fixed asset of $403,000 or 10 cents per share,
         while the 1994 quarter included a $762,000 or 20 cents per share
         special charge for management reorganization.  The loss before
         gain on sale of fixed asset was $255,000, or six cents per
         share, as compared to last years loss before special charges of
         $503,000, or 13 cents per share.  Selling and administrative
         expenses decreased 18 percent to $677,000 from $826,000 due to
         the lower sales volume and reduced costs attributable to prior
         period cost cutting measures.

         As of March 31, 1995, cash and short term investments increased
         $581,000 from December 31, 1994.  Accounts receivable decreased
         $2,379,000 to $3,726,000 from $6,105,000 due to lower sales
         volume and tighter collection policies.  Inventory decreased
         $998,000 or 17.1 percent to $4,833,000 from $5,831,000 at year
         end 1994 due to economic order quantity purchases and decreased
         sales volume.

         As of March 31, 1995, notes payable was reduced to zero 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 decreased $920,000 to $1,125,000 from
         $2,045,000 at year end.  Accrued expenses decreased $1,141,000
         to $725,000 from $1,866,000 due mainly to the payment of amounts
         for a special charge incurred during the first quarter of 1994
         relating to management reorganization.  Working capital
         decreased by $505,000 since year-end 1994, to $7,849,000, while
         corporate liquidity continues to be strong as evidenced by a
         current ratio of 5.14 to 1.
