A. Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
   accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore, do not include
   all information and footnote disclosures otherwise required by 
   Regulation S-X. The financial statements do, however, reflect all adjustments
   which are, in the opinion of the management necessary for a fair statement of
   the results of the interim periods presented.
   
B. Net Income Per Share

   Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of
   common shares and common equivalent shares (based on stock options)
   outstanding during the period.

   The Company's fiscal year is the 52-53 week period ending on the Saturday
   closest to December 31. The Company employs 13 four-week accounting periods
   for closing its books. In the 52 week fiscal year, first, second, and fourth
   quarter consist of 12 weeks each, third quarter consists of 16 weeks. In the
   53 week fiscal year (occurs every five years) the first and second quarter
   consist of 12 weeks each, the third quarter of 16 weeks and the fourth

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES
- -----
     The 1995 first quarter results when compared to fiscal 1994 show order
inputs up by 20%, sales and backlog are up 12.8% and 8.3% respectively.  This is
due to renewed strenght from the Southern California marketplace, particularly
for high reliability components for space satellites and from Pacific Rim
markets where 1995 export shipments are 49.3% higher than 1994.


COST OF SALES
- -------------
     The cost of sales as a percentage of sales for the first quarter of fiscal
1995 is lower by .7% from 1994 level.  The decrease is attributed to lower
overhead and improved efficiency throughout the plant due to introduction of
TQM principles.


SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
- -----------------------------------
     The SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales show a net decrease of 1.7% for
the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Selling, administrative, proposal and 
development expenses decreased by 3.8% whereas commission and profit sharing
expenses incerased by 2.1% due to increased sales and operating income.


OTHER INCOME
- ------------
     Other income represents interest and dividends realized from investments.
The increase of approximately $3,500 is due to higher amounts of investments.

                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                        -------------------------------



     The company's liquidity and financial condition remained strong throughout
the twelve week period of fiscal 1995.  The cash and investment accounts show a
balance of $4.7 million.  Working capital stood at $9.7 million at the end of
the first quarter for both fiscal 1995 and 1994.  Current ratio stands at 5.9
and 6.1 respectively.

     The Company invested $114,000 in plant improvements and equipment during 
the twelve week period of fiscal 1995 compared to $216,00 during the same period
of fiscal 1994.  In addition the Company paid $170,495 cash dividends in 1995
compared to $176,401 in 1994.

     The company has a $2,500,000 unsecured line of credit agreement with its
bank, at the bank's floating prime rate.  As of March 25, 1995, the full amount
of $2,500,000 was available for future borrowing.

     Management believes that with the liquid resources, the unused line of
credit, along with cash flows expected to be generated by operations, the
Company will have sufficient resources for currently contemplated operations in
fiscal 1995.  The company is exploring the possibility of acquiring similar
manufacturers of electronic devices as well as establishing a low cost
manufacturing facility, although currently has no definite plans or agreements
for such activites.  Management believes that such activities could be financed
through the liquid and capitol resources currently available as described above,
and/or through additional borrowing or the issuance of equity securities.
