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 and
     thirty-six weeks ended September 7, 1996 may not be
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the
     fiscal year ending December 28, 1996.

Note 2.     Inventories are comprised of the following (in
thousands of dollars):

                                     September 7, 1996     December 30, 1995
     Work in process                      $   1,183             $     686
     Raw materials and subassemblies          2,321                 1,926
               Total inventories          $   3,504             $   2,612






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

Results of Operations

    Total revenue increased $5,575,000 or 23% for the third
quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995,
consisting of increases in both the precision products and
systems and services business segments.

    Product sales increased by $1,177,000 or 22% for the
third quarter of 1996 primarily from the increased sales of
precision electroformed components for a line of ink-jet
printers.
   
    Contract revenue increased by $4,398,999 or 23% for the
third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.
The increase in contract revenue was attributable primarily
to revenue generated under contract awards announced during
1995 and 1996, 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 remains 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.

    Cost of contract revenue as a percentage of contract
revenue decreased slightly to 90% for the third quarter of
1996 from 91% for the same period in 1995.

       Cost of goods as a percentage of product sales for
the third quarter of 1996 was 69%, down from 72% in 1995.
This 3% decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of
sales resulted from the benefit of increased production
levels of the new electroformed components for commercial
ink-jet printers.

    Selling, engineering and administrative expenses
increased 14% from the same period in 1995 principally due
to the 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.

    Net interest expense was $114,000 in the third quarter
of 1996 compared to $45,000 for the same period in 1995.
The increase resulted from a higher level of average
borrowing during the third quarter of 1996 which was due to
increased capital expenditure levels to increase electroform
manufacturing capacity, increased unbilled and billed
receivables due to delays in the funding of government
contracts coupled with the 23% growth of this segment during
the quarter, and the Company's purchase of an Air Force
service business during the first quarter of 1996.

The effective tax rate for the third twelve weeks of 1996
was 38.5% compared to 38.1% in 1995.  The 1996 effective tax
rate reflects the additional state investment tax credit
available as a result of the Company's capital investment in
additional electroform manufacturing capacity.  The Company
accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for
Income Taxes (SFAS 109).


     Liquidity and Capital Resources


     During the first three fiscal quarters of 1996, the
Company's cash generated by operations was $1,249,000, which
included working capital growth of $3,979,000.  The major
components of working capital are billed and unbilled
accounts receivable that increased with the growth of sales
as well as timing of the collection of government accounts.
Cash provided by net income and non-cash charges increased
to $5,228,000 in 1996 from $2,959,000 in 1995.

     Capital spending during the first three quarters of
1996 was $7,139,000 consisting principally of manufacturing
production equipment and office computer equipment.  This
increased level of capital spending was principally the
result of the Company's commitment to increase its
electroform production capacity during the first half of
1996.  Capital spending and the cost of the Company's
acquisition of a business in the first quarter have been
financed under the Company's available bank lines of credit.

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been
cash flow from operations and bank credit lines.  At
September 7, 1996, $9,350,000 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 on
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
