(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein
reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods presented.  The operating results for the three months
ended July 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
These statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's most recent audited financial statements dated April
30, 1998.

2.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per common share
is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share,
except that the denominator is increased for the assumed
exercise of dilutive options using the treasury stock method.
The denominator is not affected if there is a loss during the
period.  The components of the earnings per share denomnator are
as follows:

3.  RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information," establishes standards for the way the
public business enterprises report information about operating
segments in annual financial statements and will be adopted by
the Company in fiscal year 1999.  The statement requires
business segment financial information be reported in the
financial statements utilizing the management approach.  The
management approach is defined as the manner in which management
organizes the segments within the organization for making
operating decisions and assessing performance.  Management
believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 131 will not have a
material impact on the financial statements or the disclosures
contained therein.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that involve a number of
risks and uncertainities.  Such forward-looking information may
be indicated by words such  as will, may be, expects or
anticipates.  In addition to the factors discussed herein, among
the other factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are the following:  business conditions and growth in
the personal computer industry and the general economy;
competitive factors such as rival computer and peripheral
product sellers and price pressures; availability of vendor
products at reasonable prices; inventory risks due to shifts in
market demand; and risks presented from time to time in reports
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including but not limited to the annual report on
Form 10KSB for the year ended April 30, 1998.

The Company was formed on September 1, 1988 to design, assemble
and market high resolution monitors for use with computers.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended July 31, 1998 Versus July 31, 1997

Net sales for the three months ended July 31, 1998 decreased
$659,314 or 31.1% compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1997.
The primary reason for the decrease is the decline in orders
which resulted in a lower level of units sold.  This decline is
attributable to additional market competition, a reduction of
shipments to the Asian market, customers requesting delayed
delivery dates, and to the decline in flat panel prices.
Compared to the first quarter, he order level has recently
increased and the Company is anticipating higher sales for the
second quarter.

Gross profit decreased $299,123 or 39.3% for the quarter ended
July 31, 1998 compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1997.  The
gross profit percentage decreased from 35.8% to 31.5%.  The
decrease in gross profit is a result of lower levels of
production due to a decline in monitors sold and to the fixed
nature of overhead expenses.

For the quarter ended July 31, 1998 product research and
development expenses decreased $8,474 or 5.0% compared to the
quarter ended July 31, 1997.  The decrease is due to fewer
inventory items used in the development process.  The research
activity is concentrating on:

1.  Developing a new M20L monitor.

2.  Researching a new board to give maximum focus with use of a
micro controller.

3.  Researching a power supply unit to meet higher medical
standards.

4.  Researching a higher image quality CRT.

Selling expenses for the quarter ended July 31, 1998 decreased
$36,709 or 18.6% compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1997.
The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in commissions
because of a lower sales volume and a decrease in marketing and
travel expenses.

Administrative expenses decreased $2,230 or 1.8% for the quarter
ended July 31, 1998 compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1997.
 Reduced public relations expense is the primary reason for the
decrease.

Interest income decreased from $10,706 for the quarter ended
July 31, 1997 to $23 for the quarter ended July 31, 1998.  Cash
used for the new building, equipment, and inventory has depleted
the excess cash in the government trust account resulting in
decreased interest income.

For the quarter ended July 31, 1998 interest expense decreased
$2,111 or 7.7% compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1997.  The
decrease is due primarily to the decrease in the real estate
loan for financing the new building.

The provision for income taxes decreased $93,651 for the quarter
ended July 31, 1998 compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1997.
 The decrease is due to the decrease in net income before taxes.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities totaled $350,679 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1998 compared to $397,693 cash provided
for the quarter ended July 31, 1997.  Cash provided by a
reduction in accounts receivable and inventory was offset by the
cash used for accounts payable, income taxes payable, and net
income.

No cash was used for investing activities during the quarter
ended July 31, 1998 compared to $27,110 cash used for the
quarter ended July 31, 1997.  The $27,110 was used for the final
completion of the new building, production equipment, and office
furniture.

Cash used for financing activities totaled $320,893 for the
quarter ended July 31, 1998 compared to $62,438 cash provided
for the quarter ended July 31, 1997.  The $320,893 is due
primarily to $310,000 used to pay the balance of  the bank line
of credit.  The $62,438 was cash provided by the bank real
estate loan to pay for the final construction of the new
building.

The Company's primary source of liquidity at July 31, 1998 is
cash of $87,363, the bank line of credit of $1,000,000 (of which
$1,000,000 is available), and the option to add to the bank term
loan to purchase capital equipment to meet production and
research needs.  The bank line of credit was renewed on August
25, 1998 for one year.  The capital equipment term loan, which
matures on June 14, 2001, has not been utilized.  The Company
believes that cash, cash from operations, the bank line of
credit, and existing bank loans will be adequate to meet the
anticipated short term liquidity and capital resource
requirements of its business.


Year 2000

The Company is in the process of modifying its computer systems
to accommodate the year 2000 and currently expects to complete
this modification sufficiently in advance of the year 2000 so as
not to adversely affect its operations.  The Company does not
expect to incur significant costs in connection with these year
2000 modifications.
