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

                           (In Thousands of Dollars)
                      
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER 1995 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER 1994

Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was $1,318, or $.37 per share,
which increased from $852, or $.24 per share, in last year's quarter.  The
substantial increase was due to higher sales levels.  This improvement occurred
even though the company spent $1,671 during the quarter to develop the Direct
Wafer Measurement (DWM) technology and explore other new growth opportunities.
Excluding these costs, pretax earnings were $3.4 million versus $1.1 million in
last year's second quarter.

Record high net sales of $27,850 for the second quarter increased 25 percent
from $22,253 in the prior year's quarter.  The increase was fueled by continued
strong demand for our automated parametric test systems used in the
semiconductor industry and strong shipments of the Model 2000 digital
multimeter introduced during the first quarter.  Also, the company has
experienced increased demand from its customers because of growth in their
industries.  Sales growth came from all divisions and across all geographic
areas.  Europe was particularly strong with sales up 50 percent due in part to
the 13 percent weakening of the U.S. dollar from last year's second quarter.
Order levels were also strong for the quarter, up 16 percent over the prior
year's quarter.  Backlog was reduced $1,081 during the quarter, but remained 
strong at $11,603 at March 31, 1995.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 38.9 percent from
39.9 percent.  This was the result of a weakening U.S. dollar against European
currencies as well as fixed manufacturing costs being spread over higher sales
volume.  The effect of the company's hedging activities on cost of goods sold
for the quarter was an increase of .3 percentage points of net sales.  The
company does not expect the trend of lower cost of goods sold to continue, as
the general shift has been to sales of products with lower gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $11,150 for the second quarter
increased $1,850 or 20 percent from $9,300 in the prior year's quarter, due
mainly to higher marketing costs.  The higher marketing costs resulted from
additional costs to explore new business opportunities, higher costs related to
new product introductions, higher commissions due to increased sales volume and
higher costs in Europe due mainly to a 13 percent weaker U.S. dollar.

Product development expenses of $3,691, or 13.3 percent of net sales for the
quarter, increased $1,031 or 39 percent from $2,660 or 12.0 percent of net
sales in the prior year's quarter.  This was due primarily to costs associated
with the development of DWM products.

Financing expenses (net of investment income) of $313, increased $127 or 68
percent.  This was due to higher debt levels, higher interest rates on the
variable rate debt and related borrowing costs.

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994

Net income of $1,664 or $.47 per share for the six months ended March 31, 1995,
was flat versus $1,667 or $.47 per share reported for the prior year.  For the
first six months of the current year, the company spent $3,041 pretax to
develop the DWM technology and explore other new business opportunities.
Excluding these costs, pretax earnings were up 127 percent from the first six
months of last year.

Net sales of $51,375 increased $7,473 or 17 percent from $43,902 reported for
the six month period last year.  Half of the increase was due to strong demand
for the company's products serving the semiconductor industry.  Orders for the
six month period were up 20 percent from last year.  Over half of this increase
was due to the company's semiconductor business.  Increased orders were noted
in all divisions and across all geographic areas.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 38.8 percent from
39.8 percent for the six month period last year.  This was due primarily to a
weaker U.S. dollar as well as fixed manufacturing costs being spread over
higher sales volume.  The effect of the company's hedging activities on cost of
goods sold for the six months was to increase cost of goods sold by .3
percentage points of net sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $21,562 or 42.0 percent of net
sales increased $3,317 or 18 percent from $18,245 or 41.6 percent of net sales
in the same period in the prior year.  This was due mainly to higher marketing
costs.  The higher marketing costs resulted from additional costs to explore
new business opportunities, higher costs in Europe due mainly to an 11 percent
weaker U.S.  dollar and higher commissions due to a different geographic
channel mix and increased sales levels.

Product development expenses of $6,896, or 13.4 percent of net sales for the
first half of fiscal 1995, increased $1,633 or 31 percent from $5,263 or 12.0
percent of net sales in the same period last year.  This was due primarily to
costs associated with the development of DWM products.

Financing expenses (net of investment income) increased $160 or 44 percent due
to higher debt levels, higher interest rates on the variable rate debt and
related borrowing costs.

The effective tax rate for the six month period was 25.0 percent compared to
28.0 percent for the prior year's period.  The decrease was due to increased
utilization of the foreign sales corporation and of foreign tax credit
carryforwards.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash used in operations was $1,368 for the second quarter and $1,912 for the
first six months.  Total debt of $7,983 at March 31, 1995, increased $3,167
since the beginning of the year. The increase in debt is supporting increased
working capital requirements due to higher sales and is funding development and
exploration of new business opportunities.  Our debt-to-capital ratio at March
31, 1995, was 19.1 percent.

During the remainder of fiscal 1995, the Company expects to finance debt
service, capital spending and working capital requirements through cash
provided by operations.  At March 31, 1995, the Company had available unused
lines of credit with domestic and foreign banks aggregating $25,633 of which
$8,405 are short term and $17,228 are long term.
