1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------

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 footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
the results of operations, the financial position, and cash flows, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. This report on Form 10-Q for the
three months and six months ended June 27, 1997 should be read in conjunction
with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27,
1996.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements
of operations and cash flows reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are,
in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of
operations for the interim period ended June 27, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The Company has changed its fiscal year end from the last Friday in December to
a calendar year end.

Earnings Per Share
- ------------------

Earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares and, as appropriate, dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during
the period. Stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents. Fully
diluted earnings per share for the three months and six months ended June 27,
1997 and June 28, 1996 were not materially different from primary earnings per
share.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128). SFAS 128
establishes a different method of computing earnings per share than is currently
required under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15.
Under SFAS 128, the Company will be required to present both basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is expected to be
higher than the currently presented primary earnings per share as the effect of
dilutive stock options will not be considered in computing basic earnings per
share. Diluted earnings per share is expected to be comparable or slightly lower
than the currently presented primary earnings per share.

The Company plans to adopt SFAS 128 in its fiscal fourth quarter and at that
time all historical earnings per share data presented will be restated to
conform to the provisions of SFAS 128.

SALES
- -----

Sales for the second quarter of 1997 increased 22.6% to $37.9 million compared
to $30.9 million for the second quarter of 1996. Sales for the six month period
ended June 27, 1997 increased 24.2% to $71.5 million compared to $57.6 million
for the six month period ended June 28, 1996. Domestic sales for the second
quarter increased approximately 86% over the second quarter of 1996 as a result
of more commercial deliveries and the AMC VUE program. Foreign sales for the
second quarter increased approximately 3% over the second quarter of 1996.

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

Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, was 54.0% for the second quarter of
1997 compared to 52.4% for the second quarter 1996. For the six month period
ended June 27, 1997, cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 54.5% compared
to 52.8% for the six month period ended June 28, 1996. The increase in cost of
sales, as a percentage of sales is primarily due to the Company's move towards
accepting work as a prime contractor. The Company experienced higher cost of
sales as a percentage of sales in its non-simulation business units which are in
the start-up phase. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the simulation
business units was slightly higher reflecting the move to prime contracting in
Government Simulation.

EXPENSES
- --------

Total expenses for the second quarter of 1997 increased 14.9% to $15.4 million
compared to $13.4 million for the second quarter of 1996, but decreased as a
percentage of sales to 40.6% from 43.3% for the respective periods. Total
expenses for the six month period ended June 27, 1997 increased 14.5% to $29.1
million compared to $25.4 million for the six month period ended June 28, 1996,
but decreased as a percentage of sales to 40.6% from 44.1% for the respective
periods.

Marketing, General, and Administrative: Marketing, general, and administrative
- --------------------------------------
expenses for the second quarter of 1997 increased 9.5% to $8.6 million compared
to $7.9 million for the second quarter of 1996, but decreased as a percentage of
sales to 22.8% from 25.5% for the respective periods. Marketing, general, and
administrative expenses for the six month period ended June 27, 1997 increased
13.2% to $16.5 million compared to $14.6 million for the six month period ended
June 28, 1996, but decreased as a percentage of sales to 23.0% from 25.3% for
the respective periods. The increase in marketing, general, and administrative
expenses during the second quarter is primarily due to increased labor costs
related to increased headcount, wages and incentive bonuses due to higher
profitability, travel costs, tradeshow activity and administrative costs related
to the start-up of the new business units.

Research and Development:  Research and development expenses for the second
- ------------------------
quarter of 1997 increased 22.7% to $6.7 million compared to $5.5 million for the
second quarter of 1996, but stayed constant as a percentage of sales at 17.8%
for the respective periods. Research and development expense for the six month
period ended June 27, 1997 increased 16.4% to $12.6 million compared to $10.8
million for the six month period ended June 28, 1996, but decreased as a
percentage of sales to 17.6% from 18.8% for the respective periods. The increase
in research and development expenses during the second quarter is primarily due
to increased activity related to the development of the next generation of the
image generator product, Harmony.

OTHER INCOME, NET
- -----------------

Other income for the second quarter of 1997 decreased 38.3% to $0.7 million
compared to $1.1 million for the second quarter of 1996. For the six month
period ended June 27 1997, other income decreased 31.1% to $1.2 million compared
to $1.8 million for the six month period ended June 28, 1996. The decrease in
other income for the second quarter and six month period is due to a decrease in
interest income due to lower average cash and marketable securities balances and
gains recognized on the sale of investment securities in 1996.

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

The Company's combined federal, state and foreign effective income tax rate was
28.3% for the first six months of 1997. The tax rate for the same period in 1996
was 38%. These rates are calculated based on an estimated annual effective tax
rate applied to income before income taxes. The improvement in 1997 over 1996 is
attributable to utilization of foreign loss carryforwards against U.S. taxable
income and increased benefit of the foreign sales corporation.

LIQUIDITY & CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------------------

Working capital at June 27, 1997 was $127.7 million compared to $126.9 million
at December 27, 1996. This includes cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $66.8 million and $63.0 million at June 27, 1997 and December 27,
1996, respectively. The Company's operations provided $12.7 million during the
first six months of 1997, compared to $15.4 million of cash used in operations
during the first six months of 1996. Cash was also provided from proceeds of
sales of marketable securities and proceeds from employee stock purchase and
option plans. Cash was principally used to purchase marketable securities,
capital equipment and treasury stock and to make payments on the line of credit.

On September 19, 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized a plan that allows the Company to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of
its common stock. As of August 1, 1997, the Company has repurchased and retired
95,000 shares of its common stock.

Management believes that existing cash and marketable securities balances,
borrowings available under the line of credit and cash generated from operations
will be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated cash requirements through
June 1998.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q may be deemed to contain certain forward-
looking statements. Any forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, including but not limited to risk of product demand, market
acceptance, economic conditions, competitive products and pricing, difficulties
in product development, commercialization and technology, and other risks
detailed in this filing. Although the Company believes it has the product
offerings and resources for continuing success, future revenue and margin trends
cannot be reliably predicted. Factors external to the Company can result in
volatility of the Company's common stock price. Because of the foregoing
factors, recent trends are not necessarily reliable indicators of future stock
prices or financial performance.
