Income Taxes
- ------------

    The provision for income taxes includes federal, foreign, and state
income taxes.  The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and
liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the financial reporting amounts and tax basis of assets
or liabilities.  Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation
allowance, for deductible temporary differences and net operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax expense represents the change in the
deferred tax asset or liability balances. 

    The differences between the effective rate reflected in the provision
for income taxes on income before income taxes and the amounts determined
by applying the statutory U.S. tax rate of 34% are analyzed below:

      of $26,777, including interest at 9%, beginning

                                                            ======

    A lease on the Company's headquarters and manufacturing facility located
in Houston, Texas was scheduled to expire in May 1995.  In March 1995, the
Company purchased the land and building for $3,300,000, of which $660,000
was paid in cash.  The $2,640,000 balance is payable in 180 equal monthly
installments, including interest at 9%, under a promissory note which is
payable to the seller.  The note is collateralized by the land and building. 
The aggregate maturities of the note for the next five years are:  1995 -
$36,000; 1996 - $93,000; 1997 - $101,000; 1998 - $111,000; and 1999 -
$121,000.

    The Company's Singapore subsidiary maintains an agreement with a
Singapore bank to provide an overdraft facility to the subsidiary of 500,000
Singapore dollars (U.S. $357,000) at the bank's prime rate plus 1% (7% at
June 30, 1995).  There were no balances outstanding at June 30, 1995, but
amounts utilized under credit commitments totalled $141,000, resulting in
credit availability of $216,000 at June 30, 1995.  The loan is
collateralized by all assets of the subsidiary and requires maintenance of
a minimum net worth of the Singapore subsidiary.  Payment of dividends
requires written consent from the bank and continuation of the credit
facility is at the discretion of the bank.

    Interest (income) expense, for the periods ended June 30, is presented
net as follows:
                                                      1995          1994

the Company entered into a letter agreement which converted the lease to a
month-to-month lease at a monthly rental of $11,000.

5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
  
    On July 1, 1995, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement

receivable, as defined, of the U.S. Company and its Costa Rica subsidiary,
plus 30% of U.S. inventories, limited to $750,000.  The credit facility
requires compliance with certain financial loan covenants related to
tangible net worth, current ratio, debt to tangible net worth and fiscal
year-end losses.  The loan is unsecured except that if the Company violates
certain financial covenants accounts receivable, inventories and certain
other assets of the U.S. Company will become collateral for the loan.  The
Company is in compliance with the financial requirements of the agreement.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                              June 30, 1995

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Management considers cash provided by operations and retained earnings
to be the primary sources of capital.  The Company has maintained lines of
credit to supplement these primary sources of capital and leased most of its
facilities, reducing the need to expend capital on such items.  Changes in
the Company's financial condition and liquidity since June 30, 1994 are
generally attributable to changes in cash flows from operating activities
and the purchase of the Company's headquarters facility in March 1995. 
Reduction in expenses related to the restructuring of operations, which was
completed in the first quarter of 1993, contributed to profitability and a
significant improvement in the Company's financial condition during 1994 and
1995.  Factors discussed in the management's discussion included in the
Company's 1994 Form 10-K are also applicable to operations for the six
months of 1995 and should be read in conjunction with this discussion.

    Certain ratios and amounts monitored by management in evaluating the
Company's financial resources and performance are presented in the following
chart:

   The Company's financial condition improved significantly during 1994 and
has remained very strong during 1995.  Working capital increased to $8.1
million at June 30, 1995, from $7.6 million at June 30, 1994, and the ratio
of current assets to current liabilities was 3.6 at June 30, 1995, compared
to 3.7 at June 30, 1994.  The improvement was attributable to cash provided
by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 1994 of $3.9
million.  Increases in demand for the Company's products and services during
the first half of 1995 resulted in a significant increase in the Company's
backlog at  June 30, 1995.   The operating  effects of  this increase have

                              June 30, 1995

affected various elements of cash provided by operations.  The Company has
maintained a strong working capital position.  The potential negative impact
of the low revenues levels during the first half of 1995 have been minimized
by expense controls.  These expense controls resulted in expense reductions,
reduction in excess leased space and a general reduction in most expense
items which contributed to the Company reporting net income in 1994 and a
small profit in 1995.  

   Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 
1995 was $2.5 million, compared with $548,000 used in the first six months
of 1994.  The principal items contributing to the cash used in operations
in 1995 were increases in accounts receivable and inventories of $1.9 and
$2.2 million, respectively, and a decrease in accrued liabilities of
$707,000.  The changes are attributable to the Company operating at an
increased level of operations during 1995.  The increase in activity is
supporting the production activities related to the increase in backlog and
a corresponding increase in revenues which is forecast to occur in the
second half of 1995.

   The Company used cash flow from operations to pay off all bank debt in
the latter part of 1993.  The Company did not need to utilize its principal
line of credit during 1994 and allowed the U.S. line of credit to expire in
November 1994.  The Company's Singapore subsidiary maintains a small
overdraft facility to support the subsidiary's credit commitments.  The
subsidiary could borrow $216,000 under the facility at June 30, 1995. 
Current projections indicate that the Company's cash and cash equivalent
balances and future cash generated by operations will be sufficient to meet
the cash requirements of the Company during 1995.  The Company, in July
1995, established a credit facility with a financial institution to provide
credit availability of $2.0 million to supplement cash provided by
operations, if required.

   Capital expenditures during the first half of 1995 and 1994 were $4.0
million and $386,000, respectively.  Expenditures for 1995 include the
purchase of the Company's headquarters facility for $3.3 million.  The
purchase has significantly reduced the Company's occupancy expenses. 
Management currently projects that 1995 expenditures, excluding the purchase
of the U.S. facility, may exceed $2.5 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to six months ended June 30,
1994.

REVENUES

      Revenues for the 1995 six month period were $9.9 million compared to
$11.9 million for the 1994 period.  Conditioning Products and Power Sources
revenues decreased $1,632,000 and $808,000, respectively, while Conditioning
Services revenues increased $395,000.

                              June 30, 1995


   Demand for Conditioning Products decreased during 1994, resulting in a
significant decrease in backlog in this segment in 1994.  Due to the lag
time between order entry and shipment, the decrease in backlog resulted in
a significant decline in revenues from the sale of Intersect(tm) products
and a small decrease in revenues from the sale of burn-in products during
the first half of 1995, compared to the first half of 1994.  The decrease
in revenues was reduced somewhat by modest increases in revenues from the
sale of LOADER and UNLOADER products.  Demand for Conditioning Products
increased significantly during the first half of 1995, resulting in an
increase in backlog in this segment from $2.6 million at December 31, 1994
to $12.4 million at June 30, 1995.  Continued strong demand for products
provided by the semiconductor industry resulted in the increase in demand
for Conditioning Products sold by the Company.

   Revenues in the Power Sources segment were $2.2 million for the first
half of 1995, reflecting a 27% decrease from the first half of 1994. The
decrease resulted from volume and unit price decreases due to decreased
demand and product mix changes.  

   Revenues in the Services segment, for the first half of 1995, were $4.1
million, an increase of 11% compared to the 1994 period.  Revenues related
to conditioning services increased at both of the Company's Services
facilities, but increased at a slower rate at the Singapore Service facility
that at the North Carolina facility.  These changes were due to increases
in demand by semiconductor manufacturers.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   Total costs and expenses for the 1995 six month period, compared to the
1994 period, decreased $477,000 to $9.8 million, compared to the revenue
decrease of $2.0 million.  Cost of revenues decreased $782,000; marketing,
general and administrative expenses decreased $413,000 and research and
development expenses increased $718,000.

   The decrease in the gross profit from 49% in 1994 to 47% in 1995 is
attributable to the Power Sources and Conditioning Services business
segments and resulted from revenue decreases in the Power Sources segments
and costs increasing at a rate greater than the revenue increase in the
Services segment.  The increase in the gross profit in the Conditioning
Products segment results primarily from changes in product mix and expense
controls.  The decrease in the gross profit in the Power Sources segment is
also attributable to volume decreases and unit price decreases, without a
corresponding decrease in manufacturing overhead costs.

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                              June 30, 1995

   Marketing, general and administrative expenses, for the first half of
1995 decreased $413,000 in comparison to a $2.0 million decrease in
revenues.  The decrease is due primarily to stringent expense controls and
decreases in some volume-related expenses, such as commissions.  Revenues
for the first half of 1995 were low and are forecasted to increase based on
the Company's backlog as of June 30, 1995.  Marketing, general and
administrative expenses for 1995 were maintained at levels necessary to
sustain operations throughout 1995.

   Research and development costs increased to $1,090,000 in 1995, compared
to $372,000 in the 1994 period.  The increase relates primarily to
development cost associated with orders for INTERSECT(tm) products and new
models of CRITERIA products, which are included in the Company's backlog at
June 30,  1995.  Delivery of some of the new products began in the first
half of 1995 and other new products are scheduled for delivery beginning in
the third quarter of 1995.

INTEREST (INCOME) EXPENSE

   The change in net interest reflects significant increases in interest
expense and interest income.  Interest expense increased due to the payment
of interest on debt associated with the purchase of the Company's U.S.
facility.  The purchase was finalized in March 1995, but interest on the
debt was effective December 15, 1994.  Interest income increased due to an
increase in cash available for investment and an increase in interest rates.


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

   The Company's effective tax rate was 49% in 1995, compared to a tax rate
of 4% in 1994.  The principal reason the Company's effective tax rate varied
from the U.S. statutory rate in 1995 was that tax benefits were not
available for losses of a foreign subsidiary and the U.S. Company utilized
deferred tax asset carryforwards to reduce income tax expense in 1995.  The
Company's effective tax rate differed from the U.S. tax rate of 34% in 1994
due to utilization of tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards, tax
benefits related to expenses incurred in shutting down a foreign subsidiary,
and a tax benefit from an export processing exemption. 


   Three months ended June 30, 1995, compared to three months ended June
30, 1994.

REVENUES

   Revenues for the 1995 three-month period decreased $913,000 to $5.8
million.  Revenues in the Services segment increased $293,000.  Conditioning
Products and Power Sources revenues decreased $876,000 and $330,000,
respectively.

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                             June 30, 1995 


   Revenues in the Conditioning Products segment were $2.3 million for the
second quarter of 1995 which is a decrease of $876,000 over the second
quarter of 1994 and is related to product mix changes.  Revenues from the
sale of loader and unloader products and burn-in products increased 74%,
while revenues from the sale of INTERSECT products decreased significantly
due to volume decreases.

   Revenues in the Power Sources segment were $1.3 million for the second
quarter of 1995, reflecting a 21% decrease from the 1994 quarter.  Revenues
were affected by a decrease in unit volume and unit price decreases due to
product mix changes and a decrease in demand.

   Revenues in the Services segment for the 1995 quarter were $2.2 million,
an increase of 16% compared to the corresponding 1994 quarter.  The increase
is related to both of the Company's services facilities, as noted in the
above discussion related to the six month period ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase was partially offset, during the 1995 quarter, by a decrease in
revenues from the sale of burn-in products to Services customers at the
Singapore facility.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   Total costs and expenses decreased $464,000 to $5.1 million in
comparison to the revenue decrease of $913,000.  Cost of revenues decreased
$521,000, marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased $370,000
and research and development expenses increased $427,000.

   The increase in the gross profit from 50% in the 1994 quarter to 51% in
1995 is attributable primarily to the Conditioning Products segment and, to
a lesser extent, the Conditioning Services business segment.  The gross
profit in the Conditioning Products segment increased due to changes in
product mix and cost reductions due to production volume increases.  A
decrease in the gross profit in the Power Sources segment is attributable
to revenue decreases, as discussed in the above six months discussion.  The
principal reason for the increase in the gross profit in the Services
segment is production efficiencies related to volume increases.  
   Marketing, general and administrative expenses for the 1995 quarter
decreased $370,000.  The decrease in expenses is primarily related to
expense controls and a decrease in volume related expenses in the
Conditioning Products and Power Sources segments due to the decrease in
revenues.

   Research and development costs increased from $137,000 in 1994 to
$564,000 in 1995.  The reasons for the increase are explained in the above
discussion of the six month period.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

   The Company's effective tax rate was 23% for the quarter ended June 30,
1995, compared to a tax rate of 5% for the 1994 quarter.  The factors
affecting income taxes for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are the
same as those discussed in the above narrative related to income taxes for
the six months ended June 30, 1995.
