To Shareholders and Employees

     For fiscal year 1995 consolidated net revenue was $4.8 million, a 16%
decrease from $5.7 million in 1994.  On this lower revenue level we incurred a
consolidated net loss of $(44,100) or $(.02) per share, compared to consolidated
net income of $23,000 or $.01 per share in 1994.  The 1994 results included a
non-recurring charge of $232,000 related to the disposal of our subsidiary in
Japan.

     The decline in revenue in 1995 is primarily due to a decrease in sales of
color scanner equipment in the United States and in Japan.  Increased price
pressure and technological competition has had a material, negative impact on
the number of units sold of this product.

     New orders received in 1995 totaled $9.8 million compared to $5.5 million
the previous year.  As previously announced, 1995 new orders include the receipt
of a $4.5 million contract from Polaroid Corporation in the fourth quarter for
the manufacture of a significant quantity of laser plotters.  At year-end 1995
unfilled orders totaled $5.9 million, compared to $943,000 the previous year.

     As scheduled, in 1995 we reduced our bank debt to NationsBank by $240,000,
from $1,585,000 at the start of the year to $1,345,000 at year-end.  Also, due
to our financial progress, our loan account was transferred from NationsBank's
special assets group to a regular branch office arrangement.  Through this
office, we have renewed the loan agreements until April 1, 1997, with monthly
principal payments continuing at $20,000.

     Our components product line continues at a very active rate, although
shipments were down by about $150,000 in 1995 due to a lower level of orders in
Europe.  Prospects for 1996 are positive for this product line as the result of
a production quantity order received in late 1995 for multi-channel modulators
from a foreign customer.  This application results from new product efforts in
the multi-channel area.  Also, since year-end 1995, follow-on orders have been
received from this new customer.  Over-all, we see a further broadening of
applications for our components and related technology.

    
     As noted above, in the fourth quarter of 1995 we announced the receipt of a
$4.5 million contract from Polaroid Corporation for laser plotters. This new
plotter incorporates our acousto-optic modulator products and experience, as
well as our scanning and image recording technology. We are currently in the
process of standardizing this product, which will be followed by a build-up of
production to meet expected market demand.      
<PAGE>
 
We expect the substantial new product efforts underway to result in increased
volume in the last half of 1996 and continuing into 1997.  With costs under
excellent control, the expected volume should produce a rewarding level of
profitability.

Revenue

     Consolidated net revenue in 1995 totaled $4,800,000, a decrease of $946,000
from $5,746,000 in 1994.  The following table reflects the sales and total

</TABLE>

(1) - Includes sales to foreign countries other than Europe.

     The sales decline in 1995 is mainly attributable to lower unit sales of
color scanner and related products, as well as lower average per unit prices due
to competitive pressure and a general over-all maturing of digital scanner
technology.

Costs and Expenses

     The Company incurred a consolidated net loss in 1995 of $(44,000) or $(.02)
per share, compared to consolidated net income in 1994 of $23,000 or $.01 per
share.  The 1994 results included non-recurring charges of $248,000, primarily
related to the sale of the Company's Japanese subsidiary.

     1.  In 1995 the over-all cost of sales percentage increased to 68% from 65%
in 1994.  The effect on gross profit of $143,000 reflects engineering charges to
cost of sales for laser plotter and related prototypes for funded purchase
orders.  Cost of sales levels for color scanners and acousto-optic component
products were consistent with those incurred in 1994.
<PAGE>
 
     2.  Selling and G & A expenses in 1995 increased by $103,000 from 1994.
Higher selling expenses for trade shows, commissions and promotional activities
accounted for $52,000 of the 1995 increase.  In addition, legal fees for bank
loan agreement restructuring contributed $48,000 to the 1995 accounts.

     3.  Interest expense declined modestly in 1995 to $198,000 from $202,000 in
1994, as the Company continued to reduce its bank debt level.

     4.  Product development and improvement costs were lower by $211,000 in
1995 as compared to 1994, due primarily to increased engineering effort on
systems contracts.  These costs, totaling approximately $143,000, are reflected
in cost of sales.

     5.  For the two years ended December 31, 1995, the Company's revenue and
cost of sales were not significantly impacted by the effects of inflation.  In
addition, the Company's sales and costs have not been materially affected by
changing prices due to inflation.  Lower unit sales prices, however, have been
experienced in the color scanner product line due to competitive pressures.

Foreign Exchange Risks

     In 1995, $2,536,000 of the $4,789,000 Company total sales were to customers
in foreign countries, primarily Japan and in Europe. From the United States, all
sales to foreign customers are invoiced in U.S. dollars.  The Company's 
operating subsidiary in the United Kingdom imports products from the Parent 
Company and re-sells to customers in various European countries; the majority of
these sales are in U.S. dollars. As a result, the Company's foreign currency 
risks are limited to the pound sterling-U.S. dollar relationship, which has been
essentially stable. Consequently, the Company has not had and does not expect to
have a material exposure to foreign exchange risks.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Unrestricted cash balances on December 31, 1995 of $86,000 is a $207,000
decrease from the previous year.  The major elements constituting this decline
are as follows:

                       ----------------------------------------------
 
</TABLE>

     Working capital levels were consistent over the first three quarters of
1995, but increased at year-end by $1,100,000 as the result of the
reclassification of bank debt to long-term debt.  This reclassification was the
result of a loan extension agreement, effective February 8, 1996, entered into
with NationsBank.  This agreement is effective until April 1, 1997.

     The significant increase in backlog in the fourth quarter of 1995 results
from the receipt of a $4,500,000 contract for laser plotters.  The production
quantities to be manufactured under this contract are scheduled to be delivered
over fiscal years 1996 and 1997.  Terms of the contract provide for periodic
cash advances from the customer, which are structured to meet the Company's
working capital requirements pursuant to the contract.

Bank Arrangements

     Pursuant to the loan agreement extension of January 8, 1995, the Company
paid $240,000 of principal in 1995.  In addition, the Company was in compliance
with all other terms, conditions and operating ratios called for under the
