INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors of
 Systemation Engineered Products, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Systemation
Engineered Products, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of March 31, 1996
and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations and retained
earnings and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, 1996 and
1995, and the results of its operations and their cash flows for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SYSTEMATION ENGINEERED PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

   Systemation Engineered Products, Inc. (the "Company") designs and
   manufactures specialized high speed production machinery for the electronic
   component industry for distribution worldwide.  The Company's principal
   product lines include tape and reel packaging equipment and automatic optical
   inspection systems.

   Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
   the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Systemation
   Exco, Ltd. ("EXCO").  All significant intercompany items and transactions
   have been eliminated in consolidation.

   Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all temporary investments purchased
   with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

   Account Receivable - Management believes that potential uncollectible amounts
   are insignificant, and therefore no allowance is provided.

   Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with
   cost determined on an average cost basis.

   Plant and Equipment - Plant and equipment assets are recorded at cost.
   Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
   useful lives ranging from three to ten years for reporting purposes.
   Accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes.  Provision is made for
   deferred income taxes applicable to the difference in depreciation charges.

   Other Assets - Other assets consist primarily of cash surrender value of life
   insurance on key officers.

   Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of
   products. Warranty costs associated with products sold with warranty
   protection, as well as other vender obligations and post-contract support
   obligations, are estimated based on the Company's historical experience and
   recorded in the period the product is sold.
   
   Research and Development Costs - The company charges research and development
   costs for Company-funded projects to operations as incurred.  Research and
   development costs for which are reimbursable under customer-funded contracts
   are treated as contract costs.

   Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
   generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
   estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
   liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
   of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
   during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
   estimates.

   Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The following methods and assumptions 
   were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

           Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable 
           --------------------------------------------------------------------
           - The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short
           maturity of these instruments.

           Debt - The carrying amounts approximate fair value based on borrowing
           ----
           rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar
           terms.

     
   Unaudited interim financial statements - In the opinion of management, the
   unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended
   September 30, 1996 and 1995 are presented on a basis consistent with the
   audited consolidated financial statements and reflect all adjustments,
   consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
   presentation of the results thereof. However, during the six months ended 
   September 30, 1996, the Company became aware of a significant problem with
   the performance of one of its products. The Company believes it has resolved
   this problem and is in the process of implementing necessary design changes.
   As a result, the Company recorded inventory, warranty and receivable reserves
   of approximately $2.9 million relating to the correction of this problem.
   Additionally, deferred tax assets increased by approximately $1,014,000 from
   March 31, 1996 to September 30, 1996 primarily due to temporary differences
   relating to these reserves. The results of operations for interim periods are
   not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited condensed combined financial information sets forth the
combined financial position and combined results of operations of Robotic Vision
Systems Inc. ("RVSI") and Systemation Engineered Products, Inc. ("SEP") assuming
the Merger was accounted for using the "pooling of interests" method of

the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and (ii) as of the
beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statements of operations.

For all periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
