Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



Note 1.     The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented
     herein have been prepared by the registrant pursuant to the rules
     and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
     information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial
     statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to
     such rules and regulations, although the registrant believes that
     the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
     misleading.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements
     have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the
     opinion of the management such financial statements include all
     adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
     necessary to fairly present the results of operations.

          The results of operations for the twelve weeks ended March 23,
     1996 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for
     the fiscal year ending December 28, 1996.

       Item 2.  Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

    Total revenue increased $4,698,000 or 21% for the first twelve weeks
of 1996 compared to the similar period in 1995, consisting of increases
in both the precision products and systems and services business
segments.
   
    Contract revenues for the systems and services segment increased 19%
for the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  This
growth was attributable primarily to contract awards announced during
1995, added work under the Company's long running core Navy program, and
the January 1996 acquisition of an Air Force services business.  Defense
budget pressures and priorities may alter the future scope of defense
programs, and the potential impact of these changes on the Company's
future revenue is difficult to predict.  Much of the Company's contract
revenue relates to the development and operation of computer-based
management information and logistics support systems, as well as other
information technology services.  The Company is continuing to pursue
additional programs both within the Department of Defense (DoD) and with
other government agencies.

    During the first quarter the Company acquired the Massachusetts
based operations of Support Systems Associates, Inc. (SSAI) for $2
million in cash.  The acquired business included a prime contract to
provide services under the Air Force's Technical & Engineering
Management Support (TEMS) program which had an unfunded backlog with a
potential value of approximately $24 million that may be used to support
both existing business and new tasking over the next three years.

    Product sales increased 31% for the first twelve weeks of 1996
compared to the same period in 1995.  This increase is principally the
result of increased sales of precision electroformed components for a
line of commercial ink-jet printers.
   
    Cost of contract revenue as a percentage of contract revenue
decreased to 91% for the first twelve weeks of 1996 from 92% for the
same period in 1995.  Profit margins in the Defense services segment of
the Company's business continue to be under pressure due to a
combination of factors.  As previously discussed, competitive pricing
and shifting of certain "time and materials" type business from prime
contracts to subcontracts has lowered the hourly billing rates available
to the Company.

       Cost of goods as a percentage of product sales for the first
twelve weeks of 1996 was 74%, down from 87% in 1995.  This decrease was
primarily the result of the benefit of increased production levels of
the new electroformed components for commercial ink-jet printers.  The
first quarter of 1995 included a pre-tax provision of $517,000 to
provide for the replacement of certain units due to a specific
manufacturing problem.  The problem was corrected and the provision
covered the cost of all affected units.

    Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased 21% from
1995 principally due to increased research and development efforts by
the Company in connection with a software design and development tool
which was announced during the second quarter of 1996.

    Interest expense, net was $100,000 in 1996 compared to $41,000 in
1995. This increase resulted from a higher level of average borrowings
during the first quarter of 1996 which was due to delays in the funding
of government contracts, the purchase of an Air Force services business
and increased capital expenditures to increase electroforming
manufacturing capacity.

<PAGE>

    The effective tax rate for the first twelve weeks of 1996 was 37.4%
compared to 39.7% in 1995.  The principal reason for the decrease in
1996 was a lower net state income tax rate.  The Company accounts for
income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109).

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the first quarter of 1996, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents decreased by $611,000.  Receivables increased $7,890,000 to
$23,985,000 at March 23, 1996 from $16,095,000 at December 30, 1995
while unbilled expenditures and fees on contracts in process decreased
$5,841,000 to $10,542,000 from $16,383,000. These changes are
principally due to the final billing of retained costs and fees on a
large fixed price contract as well as invoicing provisions on various
contracts.

     Capital spending during the first quarter of 1996 was $1,792,000,
consisting principally of commercial manufacturing production equipment
and office computer equipment.  This increased level of capital spending
is expected to continue during the second quarter of 1996 as a result of
the planned increase in the Company's electroform production capacity.

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been cash flow from
operations and bank credit lines.  At March 23, 1996, $16,800,000 was
available under the Company's current lines of credit.  The Company
believes that its liquid assets, cash flow from operations and available
bank lines of credit will satisfy its operating and capital requirements
for the foreseeable future.

     Forward Looking Information

     This report includes certain forward-looking statements about the
Company's business including the effect of the federal budget on the
Company's sales, anticipated capital spending, and research and
development spending.  Such forward-looking statements are subject to
risk and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to vary
materially.  These risks and uncertainties, discussed in more detail in
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 1995, include
possible reductions in federal funding for the Company's customers and
potential customers, concentration of customers, risks of sustaining
existing contracts and orders thereunder at the same or increasing
levels and obtaining of new contracts, high levels of competition and
difficulties of entering new markets, government contracting issues
including audit adjustments and costs of completing fixed price
contracts, supply difficulties, warranty claims, and factors affecting
the business segments in which the Company operated and the economy
generally.
