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

                Set forth  below is management's discussion  and analysis of the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.

         Results of Operations

         For the first nine months of 1996,  revenues  were  $6,433,078  and net
income  was  $534,293  compared  to  revenues  of  $4,851,257  and a net loss of
($94,188)  for the same period of 1995.  In 1996,  third  quarter  revenues were
$2,382,428 with a net income of $332,248  compared to revenues of $1,658,467 and
net income of $71,012 for the third quarter of 1995.

         Communication  Products Division (CPD) third quarter 1996 revenues were
$1,511,605  compared to  $1,109,479  for the same period in 1995.  The  division
achieved  net income of $28,675  compared  to a net loss of  ($181,972)  for the
third quarter of 1995.  These results  reflected  higher levels of OEM (Original
Equipment  Manufacturers  - sales of products  to be  included  in a  customer's
product) sales and generally higher margins on product sales.

         Revenues for the R&D Division  were  $133,346  compared to $179,172 for
the third  quarter of 1995.  The division  recorded a loss of ($20,662)  for the
third quarter, which was substantially lower than the profit of $14,194 realized
in the same quarter of 1995. The current quarter revenue  reflects the impact of
new  contract  work on fiber optic gyros  booked in the  beginning  of the third
quarter of 1996. We anticipate the same performance for the balance of the year.

         Laser  Illuminator  Division  revenues  were  $737,477  for the quarter
compared to $369,816 for the equivalent  period of 1995; net income was $324,235
compared to a net income of $238,790 for the same quarter in 1995. The anomalous
increase in this  division's  net income in 1995 was due to  recognition  of tax
benefits  amounting  to $98,000.  The 1996 net income  figure does reflect a tax
accrual  provision.  We  anticipate  continuing  significant  revenues  for this
segment  through  the  remainder  of the year as work  continues  on our current
contracts.

         Increases in Inventory levels were necessary to ensure  responsivity to
our  marketplace.  We anticipate some reduction in these levels through improved
forecasting and modified supplier arrangements.

         Company backlog at September 30, 1996 was $1,365,362.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         There were no significant  changes in the Company's financial condition
in the third  quarter of 1996.  At the end of this quarter the current ratio was
2.61  compared  to  2.33 at the end of  1995  and  3.24 at the end of the  third
quarter of 1995. The overall cash provided by (used in) operating activities for
the nine months of 1996 was $155,929 as compared to (141,733)for the same period
of 1995.
