Three Months Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues of $20,462,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1995
represent an increase of $6,777,000, or approximately 50%, in comparison to
revenues of $13,685,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1994.  The
increase in revenues was a result of substantially increased shipments of the
Company's LS-3000 Series semiconductor lead inspection systems.

Gross profit margins for the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
were 57% and 56%, respectively.  The increase in gross profit margins
during fiscal 1995 was primarily due to the improved profitability of the
LS-3000 Series product lines.

Continued development of the LS-3000 Series of lead scanning systems, the
ID-1 aircraft wing ice detection systems, and computerized visual inspection
equipment primarily accounted for $3,030,000 in research and development
expense during the three months ended December 31, 1995 as contrasted with
$2,184,000 during the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  Certain software
development costs are capitalized in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86.  For the three months
ended December 31, 1995, $126,000 of these costs were capitalized as compared
to $119,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.

Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $1,004,000, or 28% for
the three months ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the prior comparable
period, primarily as a result of increased marketing and distribution costs.
The Company incurred $224,000 for merger expenses relating to the acquisition
of I.D. Matrix by the Company on October 23, 1995.

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 1995 was $3,886,000, or
$.22 per share as compared to net income of $920,000, or $.06 for the three
months ended December 31, 1994.

of operations - Continued

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's operating, investing, and financing activities for the three
months ended December 31, 1995 generated net cash and cash equivalents of
$2,760,000  as follows:

        - Operating activities provided $2,135,000 during the three months
          ended December 31, 1995;

        - $ 500,000 was generated from the maturity of short-term investments;

        - $ 630,000 was used to purchase property and equipment, primarily
          leasehold improvements and office furniture and equipment,
          during the three months ended December 31, 1995;

        - $1,035,000 was generated through the issuance of common stock upon
          the exercise of stock options and warrants;

        - $ 270,000 was used to repay notes payable.

        - The effect of exchange rate changes reduced cash and cash
          equivalents by $10,000.

On November 20, 1995, the Company obtained a revolving line of credit from a
bank that provides for maximum borrowings of $6,000,000.  The agreement
expires on January 31, 1999.  Borrowings under the agreement are secured by
all accounts receivable of the Company and bear interest at the adjusted
LIBOR rate, as defined, plus two percent.  The Company is required to pay a
commitment fee of one quarter of one percent per annum on any unused portion
of the credit facility.  The terms of the agreement, among other matters,
require the Company to maintain certain tangible net worth, debt to equity,
working capital, and earnings before depreciation and amortization to
long-term debt ratios and restrict the payment of cash dividends.

The Company anticipates that its working capital needs for fiscal 1996 will
be satisfied by existing cash and cash equivalents, operating revenues and,
if necessary, through borrowings under an existing line of credit.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS

The Company does not currently engage in international currency hedging
transactions to mitigate its foreign currency exposure.  Included in the
cumulative translation asjustment is unrealized foreign exchange gains and
losses resulting from the currency remeasurement of the financial statements
(primarily inventories and accounts receivable) of the foreign subsidiary of
the Company into U.S. dollars.  To the extent the Company is unable to match
revenues received in foreign currencies with expenses paid in the same
currency, it is exposed to possible losses on international currency
transactions.

EFFECT OF INFLATION

Management believes that during the three months ended December 31, 1995 the
effect of inflation was not material.
