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


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

   Total revenues for the first quarter of 1996 were $7,068,000, an increase of
$2,526,000 or 56% from the same quarter in 1995. Net sales of $5,554,000
increased $1,945,000 or 54% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995 resulting from increased demand for the Company's products
especially from customers in the U.S., Korea and Japan. Service revenue of
$1,514,000 increased $581,000 or 62% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to
the same period in 1995. This increase in service revenue are primarily
attributable to increased sales of accessories in the U.S. and Japan in 1996.
The Company believes that its revenue growth for the three months ended March
31, 1996 is not necessarily indicative of future results.

   Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 43% in the first
quarter of 1996 from 48% in the first quarter of 1995. This improved cost of
sales ratio resulted primarily from higher sales volumes resulting in lower per
unit manufacturing costs. Cost of service as a percentage of service revenue
decreased to 66% in the first quarter of 1996 from 80% in the first quarter of
1995. This decrease was primarily attributable to relatively higher margins on
the additional sales of accessories.

   Research and development expenses for the first quarter 1996 increased
$165,000 or 33% compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was mainly
due to higher material costs associated with new product development at the
Japanese subsidiary and the addition of software engineers in the U.S.

   Selling expenses for the first quarter of 1996 increased by $259,000 or 34%
compared to the same period in 1995 primarily because of the addition of sales
offices and sales staff in the second half of 1995.

   General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 1996 increased
by $73,000 or 15% primarily as a result of spending associated with increased
operating activity.

   Other income decreased $100,000 during the first quarter of 1996 compared to
the same period in 1995 due primarily to lower exchange rate gains in 1996.

   The Company reported an operating income of $1,445,000 and net income of
$834,000 for the first quarter of 1996 compared to an operating income of
$294,000 and net income of $306,000 for the same period in 1995.

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

   At March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $18,749,000 compared to
$18,338,000 at December 31, 1995. The current ratio at March 31, 1996 was 6.5 to
1. The Company believes working capital including cash and short-term
investments of $7,696,000 will be sufficient to meet its needs at least through
the next twelve months. Operating activities for the first three months of 1996
provided cash of $78,000 primarily from net income offset to some extent by
higher accounts receivable and higher inventories, while the purchase of short-
term investments net of sales/maturities used $295,000, capital expenditures
used $18,000, debt repayment used $492,000 and issuance of common stock provided
$70,000.
