1)	Management Opinion 
 
 	In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect 
  all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
  to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of
  and for the periods presented. 

2)	Cash and Cash Equivalents

 	The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with
  maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The effect of
  exchange rate changes on cash balances held in foreign currencies was not
  material for the periods presented.

3)	Inventories 

 	Inventories are priced at the lower of cost (FIFO) or market and include
  the cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead.  

4)	Earnings per Share 

 	The number of shares used in computing earnings per share equals the total
  of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods
  presented plus common stock equivalents relating to options. Common stock
  equivalents relating to options represent additional shares which may be
  issued in connection with their exercise, reduced by the number of shares
  which could be repurchased with the proceeds at the average market price 
  per share computed on a quarterly basis during the year. The following
  table shows the calculation for primary and fully diluted shares
  outstanding:

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


Reference is made to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal 
year ended March 31, 1995 for a detailed discussion and analysis of the 
Company's financial condition and results of operations for the periods 
covered by that report.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Revenues and Backlog

Net sales for the quarter ended September 29, 1995 were 6.4% lower than last 
quarter and 15.2% higher than the year-ago quarter. The decline in second 
quarter revenue over last quarter is primarily attributable to lower sales of
800 and 1200 line per minute line matrix printers to major OEMs. An increase
of $1.4 million in laser products partially offset the decrease in line matrix 
revenues for the quarter.  On a year-to-date basis, sales were up $14.0 
million or 20.6% over the first six months of the prior fiscal year. The 
increase in revenue for the first six months of the year compared with the 
same period last year is due to higher sales levels of impact and laser 
products to both domestic and international customers. 

Revenue from the Company's five largest customers, which primarily represents
OEM business, decreased 11.5% over the prior quarter and increased 21.2% over
the year-ago quarter.  For the first six months of the fiscal year, sales to 
these customers was up $7.7 million or 21.5% over the prior year period. 

Order backlog at quarter-end was $13.7 million compared with $17.6 million at
the end of the previous quarter and $15.4 million at the end of the second 
quarter for the previous fiscal year. The decrease in backlog over the prior 
year continues to be driven by decreasing lead times for customer orders and 
more customers being converted to the Company's just-in-time drop shipment 
program.

Over the next two quarters, the Company will continue its manufacturing 
transition to a new family of fourth generation line matrix printers which 
will replace prior generations of all line matrix models.  During this period,
sales of line matrix printers could fluctuate from prior quarter's levels due
to inherent risks associated with a rapid changeover and replacement of product
lines.  Factors which could influence sales during the transition include but
are not limited to suppliers' ability to meet production requirements for 
certain critical components, the production of mature products, and customers'
ability to manage the transition and estimate their inventory requirements for
new and mature line matrix products.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter decreased to 24.6% 
compared with 25.9% in the prior quarter and 25.8% in the prior year quarter.
The year-to-date gross profit percentage fell to 25.3% for the first six 
months of the fiscal year compared with 25.8% for the first six months of the 
prior fiscal year. The decline in gross profit percentage was partly due to 
additional manufacturing start-up costs associated with the transition from 
older line matrix products to the Company's new line matrix models, and 
partly from manufacturing inefficiencies associated with the drop in second 
quarter production levels.

Operating and Other Expenses and Taxes

Engineering expense for the quarter was flat with the prior quarter and 
increased 14.7% over the prior year quarter. On a year-to-date basis, 
engineering expenses grew 22.7% to $7.2 million compared with $5.8 million 
for the first six months of the prior fiscal year. Increases over the prior 
year quarter and prior year six months have been driven by increased product 
development costs for newer line matrix printer models and higher customer 
support costs due primarily to the increased OEM business. Selling, general, 
and administrative expenses decreased 5.3% over the prior quarter and 
increased 6.5% over the prior year quarter. Year-to-date expenses increased 
by 7.5% to $8.9 million  compared to $8.2 million for the corresponding prior 
year six months. The decrease in spending over last quarter was primarily 
due to lower European sales expenses. The increased spending over the prior 
year periods continues to be driven by higher sales expenses for advertising,
marketing, and customer support due to higher OEM business and laser product
sales. As a percentage of sales, selling, general, and administrative 
spending decreased to 10.8% for the current six months ended compared with 
12.1% for the first six months of the prior fiscal year.

Other income was $0.1 million, on a year-to-date basis, compared with other 
expense of $0.3 million for the first six months of the prior fiscal year. 
The increase in other income was due to additional interest income earned 
from higher cash levels from a year ago. Furthermore, short-term debt balances 
have declined resulting in lower levels of interest expense.

The year-to-date tax provision increased 26% due to an improvement in taxable
income over the prior year. The Company continues to utilize Federal and 
California net operating loss carryforwards and is required to provide only 
for certain state and foreign taxes.
	
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES	

The Company maintained a strong financial position ending the quarter with 
cash, net of short-term borrowings, of $11.9 million compared with $11.0 
million last quarter and $8.0 million for the year-ago quarter. Cash flow 
from operating activities grew primarily from profitable operations and 
aggressive management of receivables and inventory. Accordingly, the 
Company has not needed to utilize its $7.5 million unsecured line of credit 
with Wells Fargo Bank as of September 29, 1995.

Investment in capital equipment for the first six months of the fiscal year 
was $4.5 million compared with $2.3 million for the prior year six months. 
Year-to-date capital expenditures related primarily to additional machinery 
and tooling for new line matrix products and upgrades of computer hardware. 
The Company expects capital expenditure requirements to gradually decline over 
the next few quarters. 

In December 1994 the Company completed a split-up effected in the form of a 
fifty percent (50%) stock dividend. Retroactive effect has been given to the 
stock dividend in stockholder's equity accounts as of September 29,1995, and 
in all share and per share data presented (see note 5).  In addition, cash of
$0.6 million was received for the first six months of the fiscal year, 
relating to the exercise of stock options pursuant to the Company's Stock 
Incentive Plan.

The Company believes that its internally-generated funds, together with 
available financing, will be adequate in providing its working capital 
requirements, capital expenditures, and engineering development needs through
the current fiscal year.
