                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared with March 31, 1995

Net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were approximately  $10.9 million
compared with $11.0 million in the corresponding  quarter last year. The backlog
of orders  decreased $.5 million during the quarter to $2.8 million at March 31,
1996 due to lower order intake principally in the U.S. market.

Gross profit  margins for the current  quarter were 25.3% compared with 21.5% in
the corresponding  quarter one year ago. The margin increase was due principally
to a beneficial  sales mix of products  with higher  margins such as control and
certain new digital video products.

Operating  expenses  for the current  quarter  were similar to last year at $2.4
million.  Inflationary  increases were offset by ongoing cost control  measures.
Interest  expense  decreased  approximately  $69,000 to $185,000 for the current
year quarter due principally to a lower cost of borrowing.

During the prior year  quarter,  the  Company  incurred  an  unrealized  foreign
exchange loss of  approximately  $96,000.  This loss resulted from the Company's
revaluation of its yen denominated mortgage obligation into U.S. dollars.

The increase in current  quarter  pretax  income of  approximately  $602,000 was
principally  due to increased  gross  profit  margins on sales,  lower  interest
expense and favorable foreign currency effects during the quarter.



Results of Operations
Six Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared with March 31, 1995

Net sales for the six  months  ended  March 31,  1996 were  approximately  $21.4
million compared with $22.8 million in the  corresponding  period last year. The
decrease of 6.2% was principally due to lower European sales.

Gross profit margins for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were 25.5% compared
with 22.2% in the corresponding period one year ago. The margin increase was due
principally  to a beneficial  sales mix of products with higher  margins such as
control and certain new digital video products.

Operating  expenses for the six months ended March 31, 1996 were similar to last
year at $4.8 million. Inflationary increases were offset by ongoing cost control
measures.  Interest expense decreased by approximately  $113,000 to $420,000 for
the current period due principally to a lower cost of borrowing.

During the current period,  the Company incurred an unrealized  foreign exchange
gain of $19,000  compared with a $96,000 loss in the  corresponding  period last
year. These gains and losses resulted from the Company's  revaluation of its yen
denominated mortgage obligation into U.S. dollars.

The  increase in current  period  pretax  income of  approximately  $688,000 was
principally  due to increased  gross  profit  margins on sales,  lower  interest
expense and favorable foreign currency effects during the period.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

March 31, 1996 Compared with September 30, 1995

Working capital remained  essentially the same at approximately $10.8 million at
March 31, 1996.

Accounts receivable increased approximately $.5 million to $8.9 million at March
31, 1996,  principally as a result of slower  receivable  turnover.  Inventories
increased  approximately  $1.5  million to $13.6  million at March 31,  1996 due
mainly to increased inventory levels of new products. Accounts payable increased
approximately  $1.3 million to $9.5 million at March 31, 1996 as a result of the
increased inventory levels.

The Company has a revolving credit facility of 700,000 pounds sterling  (approx.
$1.1 million) in the U.K. to support local cash requirements. At March 31, 1996,
borrowings under this agreement were approximately $776,000,  which was used for
general working capital purposes.

In December 1995, the Company repaid $2.8 million of bank debt with the proceeds
of a new U.S. bank loan.  The new two year loan  agreement  provides for maximum
borrowings  of  $4,000,000,  subject to an  availability  formula  based on U.S.
accounts receivable and inventories. Borrowings under such agreement amounted to
approximately  $3.0  million  at March 31,  1996.  Concurrent  with the new loan
agreement,  the Company  amended its  $2,000,000  secured  promissory  note with
Chugai  Boyeki Co.,  Ltd., a related  party,  to defer all  scheduled  principal
installments to July 1998. The Company  believes that the new loan agreement and
its other sources of credit provide  adequate funding to meet its near term cash
requirements.
