     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 nine  month periods ended May 27, 1995 and May 28,

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
$4,671,245, which amount is being amortized over a period of 15 years. The

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

     The Company has a restricted stock plan under which 500,000 shares of
common stock are reserved for issuance.  During the first nine months of fiscal
1995, 25,000 shares were granted in accordance with the plan and 20,000 shares
were forfeited. . As of May 27, 1995, the Board of Directors has granted 331,000
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.


NOTE 5 - Incentive Stock Option Plan

     During the first nine months of fiscal 1995, no common shares were issued
upon exercise of options granted in accordance with the Company's incentive
stock option plan. No options were granted during the period and no shares were
forfeited. As of May 27, 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 20,936 shares at $24.96 per share of the Company's 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 May 27, 1995 were $45,686,000, an
increase of $7,077,000 (18%) from sales of $38,609,000 for the third quarter of
fiscal 1994. Sales for the nine-month period ended May 27, 1995 totaled
$127,839,000 an increase of $21,452,000 (20%) from sales of 106,387,000 for the
comparable period in fiscal 1994.

     Sales for the quarter and for the first nine 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 Acsist Associates, Inc. (AAI) in the consolidated results from its
acquisition on December 2, 1994. At the same time, the  electronics industry
continues in a period of sustained growth.. The May 27, 1995 sales backlog
totaled $90,042,000 compared to $68,309,000 at February 25, 1995 and $64,461,000
at May 28, 1994.

     Gross margin for the third quarter in fiscal 1995 was 14.3% compared to
15.7% in the prior quarter and 14.9% for the comparable period in fiscal 1994.
The decrease in margins for the quarter compared to the prior quarter is the
result of a significant decrease in margins at AAI due to decreased volume and
yield problems from the introduction of new products.  Margins are down from the
same period  in 1994 as a result of an increase in sales from both AAI and Targ-
It-Tronics which are at much lower gross margin than the circuit board sales.
The pressure on margins during the quarter and during the nine month period from
pricing pressure has greatly diminished due to the robust electronic
environment.

     Operating expenses for the quarter and nine month periods ended May 27,
1995 increased $558,000 (25%) and $1,780,000 (27%) from the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1994. The increases in dollar amount were due to a higher
level of operations and the inclusion of AAI,  but remained a relatively
consistent  percentage of sales compared to  the corresponding periods in the
prior year. The increase in marketing expenses was due to additions to the sales
force which resulted in the higher level of sales and in the sales order
backlog. Interest income decreased due to lower cash balances which was
partially offset by an improvement in interest rates.

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


                         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 May 27, 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.
                                                                               7
