               Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.       Basis of Presentation
         ---------------------

         The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain  information  and  note  disclosures  normally  included  in the  annual
financial statements,  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles,  have  been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to  those  rules  and
regulations,  although  the  Company  believes  that  the  disclosures  made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

         In the opinion of  management,  the  unaudited  accompanying  financial
statements reflect all necessary adjustments and reclassifications (all of which
are of a normal,  recurring nature) that are necessary for fair presentation for
the periods presented.  It is suggested that these financial  statements be read
in conjunction  with the financial  statements and the notes thereto included in
the Company's latest annual report to the Securities and Exchange  Commission on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

2.       Line of Credit
         --------------

         The Company has a credit  agreement with a bank,  whereby it may borrow
up to  $1,000,000  with  interest at the bank's prime rate plus 3/4%.  The total
amount of borrowings  which may be outstanding at any given time is based upon a
percentage  of certain  eligible  receivables.  The amount  available  under the
credit agreement as of March 31, 1997 is $1,000,000.

3.       Inventory
         ---------

         Inventory consisted of the following:

                                         March 31, 1997       March 31, 1996

4.       New Accounting Pronouncements
         -----------------------------

         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings
         Per Share," was recently issued by the Financial  Accounting  Standards
         Board.  SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15,
         1997 and early adoption is not permitted.

         SFAS No. 128  requires  the  company to compute and present a basic and
         diluted earnings per share. Had the company computed earnings per share
         in accordance with SFAS No. 128 the results would have been as follows:

                                        March 31, 1997   March 31, 1996
                                        --------------   --------------

Basic earnings per share ................    $0.14           $(0.03)
Diluted earnings per share ..............    $0.13           $(0.03)

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
         ---------------------

         In 1997,  first quarter  revenues were  $2,678,211 with a net income of
$167,859  compared  to  same-period  revenues  of  $1,744,421  and  net  loss of
($32,268) in 1996.

         Communication  Products Division (CPD) first quarter 1997 revenues were
$2,183,853  compared to $1,444,132 for the same period in 1996. The group had an
operating  income of  $145,448  compared  to a loss of  ($24,884)  for the first
quarter of 1996. The increase in revenues is due to higher-than-normal  sales to
our OEM accounts and other system integrators.

         Revenues for the Electro-Optics  Technology Group were $155,866 for the
first quarter of 1997  compared to $135,381 for the first  quarter of 1996.  The
group realized an operating  loss of $(1,664) for the first  quarter,  which was
substantially  lower than the loss of ($41,347)  incurred in the same quarter of
1996. The higher revenue  reflects the impact of a higher level of contract work
for  winding  fiber  optic gyro coils  booked in the first  quarter of 1996.  We
anticipate  improved  revenue for the balance of the year from new  contracts in
this area.

         Laser Illuminator Group revenues were $338,492 for the quarter compared
to $164,908 for the  equivalent  period of 1996;  operating  profit was $149,517
compared  to a profit of $33,963  for the same  quarter in 1996.  We  anticipate
continued  significant  revenue levels for this segment through the remainder of
the year,  with a stable  work load on our current  contracts,  and a backlog of
approximately $836,000.

         Company backlog at the end of the March 31, 1997 was $2,593,267.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources
         -------------------------------

         There were moderate changes in the Company's financial condition in the
first  quarter of 1997.  At the end of this  quarter the  current  ratio was 2.7
compared  to 3.0 at the end of 1996 and 2.2 at the end of the first  quarter  of
1996.  The overall  cash  provided by operating  activities  for the first three
months of 1997 was  $122,972  compared to  $(172,657)  the first three months of
1996.
