         ---------------------------------------------------------------
         Results of Operations.

                          (In Thousands of Dollars)

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

First Quarter 1995 Compared with First Quarter 1994
- - ---------------------------------------------------

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1995 was $346, or $.10 per share,
which is down from $815, or $.23 per share last year.  The expected decline in
earnings was due to additional spending to develop the company's Direct Wafer
Measurement (DWM) technology acquired from IBM in May 1994, as well as to
explore other new business opportunities.

Net sales of $23,525, increased nine percent from $21,649 in the prior year's
first quarter.  The increase was due primarily to higher sales in the Pacific
Basin and the United States of the company's Automatic Parametric Test (APT)
systems.  Geographically, export sales increased in all divisions, particularly
to the Pacific Basin, while U.S. and European sales were flat.  Orders for the
first quarter of 1995 set a new record high.  First quarter orders of $27,938
increased 24 percent from the prior year's first quarter and 8 percent from
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994.  Demand for the company's APT systems
continued to be strong as the semiconductor industry continues to grow.  Also,
the response to newly introduced products has exceeded the company's
expectations.  Strong orders caused a $4,942 increase in backlog to a new
record high of $12,684 at December 31, 1994.  The company does not expect to
experience order rates equal to the first quarter's.  Orders for APT systems
can be rather large, and the level of these orders can fluctuate significantly
from quarter to quarter.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 38.7 percent from
39.7 percent.  This was the result of a nine percent weakening of the U.S.
dollar against European currencies as well as fixed manufacturing costs spread
over higher sales volume.  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 increased $1,467 or 16 percent
from the prior year's quarter, due mainly to higher marketing costs.  The
higher marketing costs resulted from new product introductions, higher
commissions due to a different geographic channel sales mix, a nine percent
weaker U.S. dollar and additional costs to explore new business opportunities.

Product development expenses of $3,205 for the quarter increased $602 or 23%.
This was primarily due to costs associated with the development of DWM
products.

Financing expenses (net of investment income) of $214, increased $33 to 0.9
percent of net sales from 0.8 percent in last year's quarter.

The effective tax rate was 28.0 percent for the quarter compared with 32.0
percent last year.  The decrease in the effective rate was due to increased
utilization of foreign tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

Cash used in operations for the first quarter was $544, and was used primarily
to increase inventory levels to meet production requirements.  Last year's
cash provided from operations of $6,442 for the first quarter included $2,503
of cash surrender value from the company's corporate-owned life insurance
program.  Cash paid for interest during the first quarter of 1995 and 1994
included $101 and $196, respectively, for interest due on the proceeds from
corporate-owned life insurance.  Total debt of $6,934 at December 31, 1994,
increased $2,118 during the quarter.  The total debt-to-capital ratio was 17.8
percent at December 31, 1994.  Cash and cash equivalents were $3,565 at
December 31, 1994, an $853 increase from September 30, 1994.

During fiscal 1995, the Company expects to finance debt service, capital
spending and working capital requirements through cash provided by operations.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had available unused lines of credit with
domestic and foreign banks aggregating $27,071 of which $7,881 are short term
and $19,190 are long term.
