              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                February 25, 1995

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do
not include all information and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of
results of operations, financial position and changes in cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The condensed
statements of income for the six  month periods ended February 25, 1995 and
February 26,1994 reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations for these periods.

NOTE 2 - Acquisition of Acsist Associates, Inc.

     On December 2, 1994, the Company acquired Acsist Associates, Inc. (AAI) a
manufacturer of complex multilayer circuit boards and multi-chip modules for
240,000 common shares. The transaction was accounted for by the purchase method
of accounting. The cost of the acquisition exceeded the basis in its assets by
$4,070,180, which amount is being amortized over a period of 15 years. The
operations  of AAI have been included in the financial statements from the date
of acquisition. Proforma results of operations as if the acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of the period for each of the fiscal years are as
follows:

NOTE 3 - Net Income Per Share

     Net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding.

NOTE 4 - Restricted Stock Plan

     In 1990, the Board of Directors approved a restricted stock plan and
reserved 312,500 common shares for granting under the plan. The Board of
Directors approved an increase of 187,500 shares in August, 1993 and the
increase was approved by the Companys shareholders at its annual meeting on
December 14, 1993. During the first six months of fiscal 1995, 25,000 shares
were granted in accordance with the plan and 20,000 shares were forfeited. As of
February 25, 1995, the Board of Directors has granted 336,250 shares without
charge to certain key employees. Shares granted pursuant to the plan vest seven
years after the grant date. However, if the Company earns $1.50 per share for
three consecutive years, up to 50 percent of the shares will vest. The shares
are subject to forfeiture if the employee leaves the Company.


                                                                               5
<PAGE>
NOTE 5 - Incentive Stock Option Plan

     During the first six months of fiscal 1995, no common shares were issued
upon exercise of options granted in accordance with the Companys incentive stock
option plan. No options were granted during the period and no shares were
forfeited. As of February 25, 1995, there were options outstanding to purchase
56,000 shares at $8.38 per share.
     In connection with the acquisition of AAI, existing options and warrants
for AAI shares were converted into options to acquire 5,018 shares at $16.64 per
share and 20,396 shares at $24.96 per share of the Companys common shares. The
options expire in various amounts to 1999.



Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
             CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Sales for the three-month period ended February 25, 1995 were $42,325,000,
an increase of $9,053,000 (27.2%) from sales of $33,272,000 for the second
quarter of fiscal 1994. Sales for the six-month period ended February 25, 1995
totaled $82,153,000 an increase of $14,375,000 (21.2%) from sales of $67,778,000
for the comparable period in fiscal 1994.

     Sales for the quarter and for the first six months of the fiscal year
represent records for the Company and are the result of utilization of
increased capacity from the addition of new capital equipment and the inclusion
of the sales of Acsist Associates, Inc. (AAI) in the consolidated results from
its acquisition on December 2, 1994. The industry remained strong during the
period and pricing was stable. The February  25, 1994 sales backlog was
$68,309,000 compared to $52,953,000 at February 28,1994.

     Gross margin for the second  quarter in fiscal 1995 was 15.6% compared to
16.1% in the prior quarter and 12.6% for the comparable period in fiscal 1993.
The decrease in margins for the quarter compared to the prior quarter is the
result of the additional volume from AAI which had a very low gross margin and
lower gross margin than expected at Targ-It-Tronics, its Florida based
subsidiary.  Margins are up from the same period in 1994 which was overall a
very disappointing quarter for the Company with poor margins in all of its
segments. Margins in the current year are also impacted by the increase of lower
gross margin commercial and assembly work as a percent of total company sales.

     Operating expenses for the quarter and six month periods ended February
25, 1995 increased $747,000 (34.6%) and $1,212,000 (28.5%) from the
corresponding periods in fiscal 1994. The increases in both dollar amount and
percent to sales were due to the addition of AAI and the operating expenses
related to its operations. The increase in marketing expenses was due to
increased costs associated with higher level of sales and increased personnel in
the sales force. Interest and other income decreased due to lower commission
income at Targ-It-Tronics and lower cash balances the effect of which was
partially offset by improved interest rates.

     The Company's income tax provision has been computed at 37 percent which is
the expected effective rate for the fiscal year.




                                                                               6
<PAGE>
                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has a $7,000,000 line of credit with its bank, none of which
has been drawn as of February 25, 1995. The credit line has an interest rate
equal to the bank's base rate and is secured by accounts receivable. The Company
believes that the current cash balances, cash flow generated from operations and
available borrowing capacity under the line of credit, will be sufficient to
fund operations and capital requirements for 1995.
