RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

SALES
- -----

Sales for the quarter ended June 28, 1996 were $30,907,000, an increase of 23.2%
over the respective quarter for 1995. For the six month period ended June 28,
1996, sales increased $13,227,000, or 29.8%, over the same period of 1995.
Orders for the first half of 1996 are $84.7 million. This represents a 70%
increase over the same reporting period in 1995.

Government Simulation sales make up the largest share of the Company's sales.
The second quarter showed this business group with a 38% increase over the
second quarter of 1995. This increase reflects the strong activity during 1995
where orders were up 22% from the previous year and backlog stood at record
levels. Orders continue to be strong during the first half of 1996 as
anticipated.

In the Graphics Systems product line, sales are disappointing and are 21% lower
than the second quarter of 1995. Future growth will come with new product
offerings expected later this year with deliveries in the first and second
quarters of 1997.

The Commercial Simulation business continues to show improvement. Sales for the
quarter were up 69% over the previous year's second quarter. Recently announced
contract awards for simulators to United and Sabena Airlines demonstrates the
success the Company is having with its new marketing strategy and the
improvement that is taking place in the commercial simulation market place.

Education and Entertainment sales are lower for the second quarter 1996 as
compared with 1995, but are expected to have increases on a comparative annual
basis. The timing of installations on the Company's Digistar II product has
created quarterly revenue variations for 1996.

The Display Systems business began with the acquisition of Terabit Computer
Speciality Company, Inc. in March of this year. Assimilation into the Company's
organization has proceeded smoothly. Sales are low, but new orders are running
70% greater than expected and will result in the expected revenues for the year
during the next two quarters.

COST OF SALES
- -------------

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, averaged 52% for the second quarter of
1996. This is in line with the first quarter of 1996 or 53% and the annual rate
of 55% for 1995. The second quarter rate in 1995 was much higher at 73% due to
one-time charges of $3,550,000 for inventory writedown provisions and possible
contract dispute provisions. Excluding the one-time charges in 1995, the second
quarter rate for 1996 is 6% better than 1995 due to high margin large quantity
shipments of the Company's ESIG 3000 image generators.

OPERATING PROFIT
- ----------------

In April, 1995, the Company completed the sale of its CDRS business to
Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC). This sale resulted in a gain of
$20,188,000. By excluding this gain from 1995 results and comparing operating
profits from on-going business units, the period ending June 28, 1996 would have
a 125% improvement over the same period in 1995.

EXPENSES
- --------

Total expenses for the second quarter of 1996 increased $1,408,000 (12%) above
the corresponding 1995 second quarter.

   Marketing, General, and Administrative: Marketing, general, and
   administrative expense increased $620,000 (9%) in 1996 as compared with the
   second quarter of 1995.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
   Research and Development: Research and development increased $788,000 (17%)
   in 1996 as compared with the second quarter of 1995.

Although absolute second quarter expenses are higher than the previous year's
expenses, as a percentage of sales, both categories of expenses are lower in
1996 as compared with 1995. Marketing, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales are 25% in 1996 versus 29% in 1995 for the second quarter.
Research and development are 18% and 19%, as a percentage of sales for the
respective 1996 and 1995 quarters. Expenses for 1996 are in line with the
Company's operating plan.

For the six month period ended June 28, 1996, total expenses are running 3%
below the level of expenses for the same period in 1995.


OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET
- ---------------------------

Other income is down for the six month period ended June 28, 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995 by $6,823,000. Most of the difference is due to the fact
that in 1996 there were only $428,000 pre-tax sales of investment securities,
whereas in 1995 there were pre-tax sales of $7,263,000. Currency transactions,
net interest income and expense, and other miscellaneous items accounted for the
rest of the differences between the respective six month periods.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------

The Company's combined federal, state and foreign effective income tax rate was
38% for first six months of 1996. The tax rate for the same period in 1995 was
42%. These rates are calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax rate
applied to income before income taxes. The improvement in 1996 over 1995 is
based on improved estimates for foreign taxes.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
- -------------------------------

Funds to support the Company's operations come from proceeds of sales of
temporary cash investments, sales of investment securities, borrowings under
bank lines of credit agreements, and proceeds from employee stock purchase and
option plans.

Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased $2,818,000 to
$72,817,000 during the second quarter of 1996 and $18,924,000 for the six month
period ended June 28, 1996. The value of investment securities has increased
$450,000 to $7,887,000 during the six month period ended June 28, 1996.
