NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary, consisting of normal recurring items, to fairly present
the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1994 and the
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and
1993 and cash flows for such six month periods. The December 31,
1993 condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited
financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required
by generally accepted accounting principles. The financial
statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes included in Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1993 as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
2. Inventories consist of (000's):
June 30, 1994 December 31, 1993
Raw materials $ 9,066 $ 11,075
Systems in process 1,690 1,821
Finished goods 4,112 5,409
Demo equipment 1,273 1,490
$ 16,141 $ 19,795
3. On March 11, 1993, the Company entered into a new long-term
credit agreement with People's Bank providing for domestic
borrowings of up to $8,000,000, of which $8,000,000 was available
as of June 30, 1994 based on a formula of eligible receivables (as
defined). The credit facility is collateralized by a first lien
on substantially all of the Company's assets, and the agreement
contains, among other provisions and covenants, the following: (1)
subordination of all existing and future indebtedness (as defined)
of the Company to the indebtedness under the credit facility; (2)
limitations on dividend payments, stock purchases and subordinated
debt repurchases; (3) maintenance of levels of Consolidated
Adjusted Tangible Net Worth (as defined) and (4) achievement of
various financial ratios. The Company is required to pay a
commitment fee equal to 1% of the unused borrowings under the line
of credit. The loans mature on March 1, 1996, and bear interest at
the People's prime rate plus 1-1/4%.
4. A former officer of the Company who sued the Company for
breach of an alleged promise of lifetime employment was awarded a
jury verdict of $413,000 in October 1991. In May 1993, the court
granted the Company's motion to set aside the verdict. Such former
officer appealed the court's decision. The appeal was argued in
June 1994, but the court has not yet rendered its decision. The
Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will
not have a significant effect upon the consolidated results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1994
decreased 5.1% to $22,218,000 and 6.9% to $43,428,000,
respectively, from the comparable 1993 period. This decrease was
due to lower domestic revenues partially offset by an increase in
international revenues. Service revenues declined 4.6% in the
second quarter of 1994 compared with the second quarter of 1993,
while service revenues for the first half of 1994 remained
relatively constant at $9,469,000, when compared with 1993.
The gross margin percentage for the second quarter of 1994 was
44.6%, basically unchanged from second quarter 1993 margins of
44.1%, but reflecting a trend of improvement over the latter half
of 1993. The gross margin percentage for the first half of 1994
decreased 0.9% to 44.7% from the first half of 1993, primarily due
to an unfavorable product mix partially offset by manufacturing
efficiencies. Service margins for the second quarter and first
half of 1994 were 40.2% and 40.6%, compared with 39.9% and 37.5%
for the second quarter and first half of 1993, as a result of lower
overheads due to the restructuring that took place in late 1993 and
lower parts costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense-to-revenue ratio for
the second quarter of 1994 decreased to 26.8%, compared with 27.5%
in 1993. Actual expenses for the second quarter decreased $483,000
compared with the second quarter of 1993, due to headcount
reductions. The expense-to-revenue ratio for the first half of
1994 increased to 27.7%, as compared with 26.7% in 1993, as a
result of a lower revenue base in 1994. Actual expenses were
$435,000 less than in the second quarter of 1993.
Engineering and development expenditures for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1994 decreased to 12.8% and 12.9% of
revenues, versus 13.0% and 13.6% of revenues for comparable periods
in 1993. Actual expenditures in the second quarter and first half
of 1994 decreased by approximately $184,000 and $749,000,
respectively, compared with the second quarter and first half of
1993, reflecting a reduction in headcount and expense controls.
Interest expense for the second quarter and first half of 1994
decreased 3.6% and .4%, respectively, from the comparable 1993
period as a result of reduced debt levels.
Provision for income taxes was $219,000 and $268,000 for the three
and six month period ended June 30, 1994, respectively, based on
the estimated annual effective tax rate of 32%, versus a provision
of $92,000 and $475,000 for the second quarter and first half of
1994. The estimated effective tax rate for 1994 is less than the
federal statutory rate of 34.0%, due to the anticipated utilization
of net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company generated $5,954,000 of cash before financing
activities in the first half of 1994, compared with using
$4,795,000 in the first half of 1993. Working capital at June 30,
1994 decreased by $4,486,000 from December 31, 1993 as a result of
significant decreases in accounts receivable and inventories
partially offset by a reduction in accounts payable. These
decreases are a result of the collection of a large outstanding
receivable, and increased inventory controls. The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities is 4.1:1 at June 30, 1994. In
addition to selling its products, the Company also leases its
products under sales-type lease agreements. These lease
receivables are available for sale as a source of financing.
Long-term debt consisted of $19,515,000 of convertible subordinated
debentures. The Company had no borrowings outstanding at June 30,
1994 under an $8,000,000 revolving line of credit with People's
Bank, all of which was available based on a formula of eligible
receivables (as defined). This line of credit is collateralized by
a first lien on substantially all of the Company's assets and is
available, subject to maintenance of certain covenants and
financial ratios, through March 1, 1996.
There are no significant capital expenditures planned for 1994; the
aggregate amount of spending is anticipated to be less than the
level of depreciation for the year.
In the opinion of management, existing financial resources,
including cash anticipated to be generated by operations and
available under existing credit facilities, will be adequate to
meet current and expected operating and capital requirements.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation did not have a significant impact on the Company during
1993 and is not expected to do so in 1994.
