Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual

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.

4. New Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings

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, year-to-date revenues were $9,381,615 with a net income of
$830,872 compared to same-period revenues of $6,433,078 and net income of
$534,293 in 1996.
Quarter-to-date revenues were $3,179,442 a net income of $367,107
compared to $2,382,428 in 1996 with net income of $332,248.
Communication Products Division
-------------------------------
Communication Products Division (CPD) had third quarter revenues of
$2,467,620. This was an increase of 63% over $1,511,605 for the same period in
1996. CPD net income also increased 461% with net income of $160,768 for the
third quarter in 1997 compared to $28,675 for the same period in 1996. The
increase in revenues is a continuation of the growth exhibited in the first and
second quarters of 1997 reflecting the increased sales and marketing efforts in
our high-resolution video products, international sales efforts in Europe and
China, and intelligent transportation systems both for highway and air traffic
controller applications. Strong management and cost control efforts in
Manufacturing have allowed the rapid increase in shipped product while
containing costs for expansion.
Government Products Division
----------------------------
Revenues for the Electro-Optics Technology Group were $175,615 for the
third quarter of 1997 compared to $133,346 for the third quarter of 1996. The
group realized a net income of $2,414 for the third quarter, which was an
improvement over the loss of ($20,662) 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 half of 1997. We anticipate
improved revenue for the balance of the year from new contracts in this area.
Laser Illuminator Group revenues were $536,207 for the quarter compared
to $737,477 for the equivalent period of 1996; net income was $264,350 compared
to a net income of $324,235 for the same quarter in 1996. The decrease in
revenue in the third quarter of 1997 was due to lower delivery requirements by
the United States Air Force. We anticipate continued significant revenue levels
for this segment through the remainder of the year, with a stable workload on
our current contracts.
Costs incurred in the third quarter of 1997 associated with a new
business activity were expensed in the Government Products Division; this
activity had no revenue and costs of ($60,425) for the third quarter of 1997.
Year-to-date expenses were ($123,284).
Company backlog at the end of the September 30, 1997 was $2,320,986.

The overall cash used by operating activities for the first nine months
