The Company has entered into certain  contracts in which the Company  receives a
payment and agrees to buy shares of specific  securities  if the holder puts the
securities to the Company (put  contracts).  This obligation  could occur if the
market price of the securities dropped below the option price. At June 30, 1996,
the aggregate  contract  obligation to the Company,  assuming all contracts were
put to the Company would be $13,743,000.  The market risk to the Company is that
if the share prices of the securities  subject to the options  decline below the
option price,  and the holder puts the  securities  to the Company,  the Company
would be required to buy the securities at a price in excess of market.  At June
30, 1996, the Company has recorded a liability for the amounts  received on open
put contracts of $846,791. At June 30, 1996, the Company has unrealized gains of
$136,353  on open put  contracts.  The  Company has also  entered  into  certain
contracts  in which the  Company  receives a payment  and agrees to sell  shares
(regardless if the Company owns the shares) of specific securities if the holder
calls the securities from the Company (call  contracts).  This obligation  could
occur if the market price of the  securities  rises above the option price.  The
market risk to the Company is that if the share price of the securities  subject
to the options rises above the option price and the holder calls the  securities
from the Company,  the Company would

 

                                      6


be required to buy the  securities at market price and sell them at a price less
than market.  There were no uncovered  call  contracts at June 30, 1996. At June
30, 1996, the Company has recorded a liability for the amounts  received on open
call contracts of $64,080. At June 30, 1996, the Company has unrealized gains of
$38,584 on these contracts. The Company records the premium payments it receives
from these activities as a deferred liability upon receipt.  Unrealized gains on
open contracts are deferred and not recognized  until the contracts lapse or are
settled.  Unrealized  losses are not recognized  until realized,  i.e., when the
contract is either put to or called from the Company

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

In July,  1995,  the  Company  sold  certain of the assets  associated  with the
design,  development,  manufacture  and  sale of a range of  microwave  devices,
components  and  subsystems  used  in both  military  and  commercial  microwave
electronic  systems (the "WMI  Business) to ST Microwave  Corp.(the  "Buyer") in
exchange for cash and the assumption by the Buyer of certain of the  liabilities
of the Company. Between July 21, 1995 and September 15, 1995, when the Company's
lease for its facility at 495 Mercury Drive,  Sunnyvale  California expired, the
Company disposed of  substantially  all of its remaining  tangible assets.  As a
result  of such  transactions,  the  Company  is no  longer  engaged  in the WMI
Business.  The Company's  remaining business activity involves the resolution of
the Company's ongoing  environmental  liability for the cleanup of the Company's
former  headquarters  on Reamwood  Avenue,  Sunnyvale,  California  (the "Former
Headquarters").

The  Company's  Board  of  Directors  has  adopted  a Plan  of  Dissolution  and
Liquidation  of the  Company  and has  recommended  approval of such Plan by the
shareholders.  The Company is in the  process of  preparing  proxy  solicitation
materials  for use at a  Special  Meeting  of  Shareholders  to be held  for the
purpose of acting upon the Plan.

Pending  the  resolution  of  the  Company's  environmental  liability  and  the
liquidation of the Company, the Company has temporarily invested its assets in a
portfolio of marketable  securities with a view towards the preservation of such
assets and the  generation of  investment  income from  interest,  dividends and
capital gains.


Financial Condition

Assets and Total Stockholders'  Equity. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996,
net current assets  decreased by  approximately  $8,300 and total  stockholders'
equity decreased by approximately $10,300 from the beginning of the fiscal year.
During the third  quarter,  the Company  received  $150,000 in capital  upon the
exercise of an outstanding  stock option.  The operating  loss of  approximately
$245,000  for the first nine months of the current  fiscal year was also offset,
in  part,  by an  increase  of  approximately  $60,000  in  the  net  unrealized
appreciation  of the Company's  investment  portfolio since the beginning of the
fiscal year.  Book value per share at the end of the third quarter  decreased to
$3.35 per share as  compared to $3.73 per share at the  beginning  of the fiscal
year.

Environmental  Liability.  Under the terms of the settlement  agreements entered
into by the  Company in  connection  with the  settlement  of the  environmental
lawsuits,  the Company has agreed to undertake certain  groundwater  remediation
activities at its 

 
                                      8



Former   Headquarters.   The  Company  has  established  a  reserve  for  future
environmental  clean-up  costs  representing  management's  best estimate of the
anticipated  costs  and  expenses  to  complete  the  clean-up  of the  site  in
accordance with the Company's workplan.

At June 30, 1996, the Company's reserve for future  environmental  cleanup costs
remained  at  $1,000,000.  As  set  forth  above,  the  Board  of  Directors  is
recommending  to the  shareholders  the  adoption of a Plan of  Dissolution  and
Liquidation of the Company.  As a part of such plan,  prior to  liquidation  the
Board of  Directors  intends to increase  the  reserve for future  environmental
costs from $1.0  million to at least $3.0  million to insure  adequate  funds to
complete  the  cleanup  and to  allow  for  the  distribution  of the  Company's
remaining assets.

Results of Operations

Investment  Income.  Investment  income for the third  quarter  of fiscal  1996,
consisting of interest and  dividends on the  Company's  portfolio of marketable
securities,  totaled  approximately  $145,000,  a slight  decrease from the same
period one year ago. For the first nine months of the current  fiscal year,  net
investment income totaled  approximately  $429,000,  representing an increase of
approximately 26% from the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase in
investment  income for the first nine  months is due to the  increase in current
assets available for investment as a result of the sale of the WMI Business.

Selling,  General and Administrative  Expenses.  For the third quarter of fiscal
1996,  selling,   general  and  administrative  expenses  totaled  approximately
$206,000,  substantially all of which was attributable to environmental  matters
and legal and  investment  management  fees.  Included in  selling,  general and
administrative expenses of approximately $722,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1996 was an environmental  consulting and management fee paid to Dr. Ibrahim
Hefni of  $112,500  in lieu of any  salary  as  president,  treasurer  and chief
executive officer of the Company.
