                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.  Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------

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

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

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 the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 the three months ended March 31, 2000 may not be indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000.

Risks, Uncertainties and Use of Estimates
- -----------------------------------------

The company is subject to certain business risks specific to the industries in
which it operates, including estimates of costs to complete contract
obligations, changes in government policies and procedures, government
contracting issues and risks associated with technological development. The
preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. As issued, SFAS No. 133 is effective
for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, with
earlier application encouraged. In May 1999, the FASB delayed the effective date
of SFAS No. 133 for one year to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The
company does not currently have derivative instruments and does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 133 to have a material impact on its financial position or
results of operations.

In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission released Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.
SAB 101 provides interpretative guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue. SAB 101 must be applied no later than the second quarter
of 2000. Although the company believes that SAB 101 will not have a material
effect on the company's results of operations or financial position, the company
is continuing to evaluate the potential effects as additional guidance becomes
available.

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

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For
periods in which earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is determined
by giving effect to the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock
method.

Due to their antidilutive effect, 128,800 and 431,764 stock options were
excluded in the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Note 2. Restructuring
- ---------------------

In the fourth quarter of 1999, the company adopted a restructuring plan intended
to reduce overhead costs and increase efficiencies. The company recorded a
restructuring charge of $1.2 million to provide for severance and other exit
costs for approximately 100 involuntarily terminated employees, of which $1.0
million was recorded as cost of contract revenue and the remainder as selling,
engineering and administrative expense. During the first quarter of 2000, the
company expended approximately $0.3 million related to severance costs and
outplacement services for 30 employees. It is presently expected that the
restructuring plan will be completed by the end of 2000. At March 31, 2000, the
remaining restructuring reserve totaled $.9 million.

Note 3. Discontinued Operations
- -------------------------------

In June 1999, the company completed the sale of its previously discontinued
Telecommunications Fraud Control business. The sale agreement provided for
royalties of up to $1.8 million over the next three years. During the first
quarter of 2000, the company received and recognized $0.2 million of royalty
income, net of tax.

In the first three months of 2000 $0.2 million was charged against the reserve
established at the date the plan of disposal was adopted.

Revenue, costs, expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows of the
discontinued telecommunications business have been excluded from the respective
captions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Balance
Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and have been reported as
Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes, as Net liabilities of
discontinued operations, and as Net cash provide by (used for) discontinued
operations for all periods presented. The results of discontinued operations do
not reflect any interest expense or any allocation of corporate general and
administrative expense

Note 4. Debt
- ------------

On September 30, 1999, the company entered into an amended agreement with a
syndicate of banks. The amended agreement provided a secured working capital
line of credit of up to $35 million, based on assets consisting primarily of
inventory, receivables and real estate. Interest on the outstanding balance was
at the prime rate plus 2%. The agreement included a fee of 0.375% on the unused
portion of the credit line. At December 31, 1999, the company was not in
compliance with a covenant included in the agreement regarding minimum earnings
before income taxes. The amended agreement expired January 31, 2000. At December
31, 1999, $19.7 million was outstanding under the agreement.

On February 10, 2000, the company finalized a three year $20 million secured
revolving credit agreement (the "Revolver") and a six-month $7.5 million interim
mortgage loan (the "Interim Mortgage") on the company's real estate. Proceeds
were used to pay off existing debt. The Revolver expires on February 10, 2003.
The company plans to refinance the Interim Mortgage prior to its maturity on
August 10, 2000. The Revolver provides for borrowings of up to the lesser of $20
million or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. Interest on the outstanding
balance of the Revolver and the Mortgage is at the prime rate and is payable
monthly. The agreement includes a fee of 0.375% on the unused portion of the
Revolver. Beginning in 2001, in the event that the company achieves certain
financial milestones, the company may elect an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2%,
and the fee on the unused Revolver will be reduced to 0.25%. At March 31, 2000,
$18.2 million was

                                       8
<PAGE>

available for the company to borrow based on eligible accounts receivables and
$10.7 million was outstanding under the Revolver.

Substantially all of the company's assets serve as collateral under the
Revolver, except the corporate office facility in Andover, Massachusetts, which
collateralizes the Mortgage. The Revolver requires the company to meet certain
financial covenants including maintaining a minimum tangible net worth, cash
flow and debt coverage ratios, as well as limits the company's ability to incur
additional debt, to pay dividends, to purchase capital assets, to sell or
dispose of assets, to make additional acquisitions or investments, or to enter
into new leases, among other restrictions. The company was in compliance with
all covenants on March 31, 2000.

Note 5.  Commitments and Contingencies.
- ---------------------------------------

As a defense contractor, the company is subject to many levels of audit and
review, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the Inspector
General, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the General Accounting
Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. As a result of
certain DCAA audit findings, the United States Government is temporarily
deferring a portion of its payments to the company. The company believes it has
substantially remedied the findings of the DCAA and expects the effects of
payment deferral will be temporary and not significant. Currently, the United
States Government is temporarily deferring payment of approximately $0.9 million
of accounts receivable.

Note 6.  Segment Information.
- -----------------------------

Identifiable assets by business segment include both assets directly identified
with those operations and an allocable share of jointly used assets.

Summarized financial information by business segment for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999 are as follows (in thousands of dollars):

One customer accounted for 8.1% and 11.6% of total revenue from continuing
operations in the first three months of 2000 and 1999, respectively. During the
first quarter of 2000 and 1999, revenue from Department of Defense (DoD)
customers represented 71% and 61% of total revenue from continuing operations,
respectively. Revenue earned from one significant DoD contract represented 15.9%
and 10.2% of total revenue from continuing operations in the first three months
of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

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

Results of Operations

Total revenue increased 2.7% to $47.8 million in the first quarter of 2000
compared with $46.5 million in the first quarter of 1999. Contract revenue for
the Systems and Services segment increased 3.6% to $41.2 million in the first
three months of 2000 compared with $39.8 million in the same period last year.
The increase was primarily due to revenue from engineering services which
increased $6.2 million, or 21.8%, compared with the same period in 1999. This
increase more than offset a decline in state services revenue. The first quarter
of 1999 results included significant one-time revenue related to infrastructure
installation under the company's contract with the Colorado Department of Human
Services.

Product sales decreased slightly to $6.6 million in the first three months of
2000 compared with $6.8 million in the same period of 1999. Metrigraphics
Division sales decreased to $2.1 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared
to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 1999. The decline in Metrigraphics
sales, attributable principally to lower sales of electroformed inkjet printer
nozzle plates, is expected to continue as the company seeks to expand its
customer base in the computer peripherals, medical instruments, factory
automation, electrical instruments, semiconductor equipment and
telecommunications fiber optic industries.

Encoder Division sales increased 28.7% to $4.5 million in the first three months
of 2000 from $3.5 million for the same period in 1999, attributable primarily to
an increase in automotive industry sales. The level of automotive industry sales
attained in the first quarter of 2000 is expected to be sustained at least into
the second quarter of 2000. Nevertheless, future sales of this product line are
uncertain and are dependent on automotive industry demand and product life
cycles.

Total gross margin was $5.6 million and $6.7 million in the first quarter of
2000 and 1999, respectively, representing 11.6% and 14.3% of total revenue for
the same periods. The decline in gross margin resulted primarily from a shift in
sales mix principally away from higher margin Metrigraphics sales toward lower
margin Systems and Services, and Encoder Division sales.

Gross margin on contract revenue was $3.8 million and $4.6 million for the first
three months of 2000 and 1999, respectively, representing 9.3% and 11.7% of
contract revenue in the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2000 and 1999, gross margin on product sales was $1.7
million and $2.0 million, respectively, representing 25.9% and 29.7% of product
sales in the first three months of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Selling, engineering and administrative expenses and net interest expense were
$4.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in the first three months of 2000,
both essentially flat compared with the same period last year.

Income tax expense was $0.4 million, or 41% of pre-tax income, in the first
quarter of 2000 compared with $0.9 million, or 42% of pre-tax income for the
first three months of 1999.

The first quarter of 2000 results included $0.2 million income from discontinued
operations, net of tax, which resulted from receipt of royalties from the
company's sale of the discontinued Telecommunications Fraud Control business in
1999.

In the fourth quarter of 1999, the company adopted a restructuring plan intended
to reduce overhead costs and increase efficiencies. The company recorded a
restructuring charge of $1.2 million to provide for severance and other exit
costs for approximately 100 employees, of which $1.0 million was recorded as
cost of contract revenue and the remainder as selling, engineering and
administrative expense. The charge was comprised

                                       10
<PAGE>

primarily of severance costs and outplacement services to be provided to
involuntarily terminated employees. During the first quarter of 2000, the
company expended approximately $0.3 million related to severance costs and
outplacement services for 30 employees. It is presently expected that the
restructuring plan will be completed by the end of 2000. At March 31, 2000, the
remaining restructuring reserve totaled $.9 million.

The company's total employment at March 31, 2000 was 1,591, down from 1,613 at
December 31, 1999.

The company's backlog of unfilled orders was $99.4 million at March 31, 2000, up
from $97.1 million at March 31, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash used for continuing operations in the first quarter of 2000 was $0.2
million resulting from increased unbilled expenditures and fees on contracts in
process, and decreased accounts payable and other accrued expenses, partially
offset by positive cash earnings, increased accrued payroll and employee
benefits and decreased receivables. As described in Note 5, currently the United
States Government is temporarily deferring payment on approximately $0.9 million
of accounts receivable. Cash provided by continuing operations in the first
three months of 1999 was $4.6 million attributable to positive cash earnings and
accrued payroll and employee benefits, partially offset by increased unbilled
expenditures and fees on contracts in process.

Cash used for investing activities was $0.8 million and $1.0 million in the
first three months of 2000 and 1999, respectively, primarily related to the
purchase of property, plant and equipment for continuing operations. In
addition, in the first quarter of 1999, the company invested $.4 million in
Empresa, Inc.

On February 10, 2000, the company finalized a three-year $20.0 million secured
revolving credit agreement (the "Revolver") and a six-month $7.5 million interim
mortgage loan (the "Interim Mortgage") on the company's real estate. Proceeds
were used to pay off existing debt. The Revolver expires on February 10, 2003.
The company plans to refinance the Interim Mortgage prior to maturity on August
10, 2000. The Revolver provides for borrowings of up to the lesser of $20.0
million or 80% of eligible accounts receivable. At March 31, 2000, $18.2 million
was available based on eligible accounts receivable for the company to borrow
and $10.7 million was outstanding under the Revolver. The company was in
compliance with all covenants on March 31, 2000.

In the first quarter of 2000, the company realized $0.6 million in proceeds from
the exercise of stock options.

The company's expected cash flows for the year 2000 are subject to certain
trends, events and uncertainties. The company's requirements for additional
property, plant and equipment are expected to be in the range of expenditures
incurred over the past three years. Related to the company's contract with the
Colorado Department of Human Services, the company had accrued at December 31,
1999 and expects in the year 2000 to expend an estimated $3 million in excess of
amounts to be received under the contact in order to complete its obligation
under the contract.

The company's need for, cost of, and access to funds are dependent on future
operating results, as well as conditions external to the company. The company
believes that its current assets, cash flows from operations and available lines
of credit are sufficient to support its normal operations and capital
requirements for the foreseeable future.

Year 2000 Date Conversion

The Year 2000 problem concerns the inability of information systems to recognize
properly and process data-sensitive information beyond January 1, 2000. The
company was Year 2000 compliant at December 31, 1999. The company has not
experienced any material Year 2000 problems to date and does not expect to
experience any such difficulties.
