ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995  were $3,848,099 compared to
$3,821,077 for the same period in the prior year. The overall increase in
revenues is attributable to sales of weather display systems introduced late
in the prior fiscal year including the ALDEN WAFS terminal. The sales of
these terminals amounted to approximately $500,000 during the quarter. This 
increase was partially offset by decreases in revenue from the sale of paper
products ($230,000), marine weather chart recorders ($130,000) and revenues
from the lease of equipment to governmental agencies of $90,000.

Gross profit, as a percent of sales, was 30.1% for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995 compared to 31.0% for the same period in the prior year. The
1995 margin was adversely affected by increased expenditures for product
development during the quarter and the decline in revenues from the lease of
equipment. These declines were offset by the recording of a benefit amounting
to approximately $223,000 from agreements reached with various suppliers of
components and services to the Company to offset costs of the Company's 
December 19, 1994 recall of its SATFIND-406(tm) SURVIVAL EPIRB.  

Selling, administrative and general expenses were approximately $117,000
(or 3.1% of sales)less for the quarter when compared to the same period in
the prior year due to staff reductions implemented in the last quarter of
prior fiscal year and reductions in advertising costs.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $47,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1995. This decrease was primarily due to investments in property, plant and
equipment and repayment of debt made in the normal course of business.
Management believes that internally generated funds and its existing credit
facilities will be sufficent to satisfy its anticipated working capital and
capital needs for the remainder of the fiscal year.
