Quality IC Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Quality IC Corporation, (a
Texas Corporation), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Silicon Valley Research, Inc.,
as of March 31, 1998, and the related statements of income, retained earnings,
and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Quality IC Corporation as of

                             QUALITY IC CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            Year Ended March 31, 1998

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of Quality IC Corporation (the
Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial
statements.

1.    Nature of Operations

      The Company, a Texas Corporation, was formed in 1992. The Company provides
      engineering and consulting services to companies in the micro-electronics
      industry. As of March 31, 1998, the Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary
      of Silicon Valley Research, Inc. (a California corporation).

2.    Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformance
      with generally accepted accounting principles that have been consistently
      applied.

3.    Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over their
      estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Upon sale or
      retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated
      from the respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included
      in the results of operations.

      Repairs and maintenance charges which do not increase the useful lives of
      the assets are charged to operations as incurred.

4.    Revenue Recognition

      Revenues are recognized in the period in which the services are provided.
      The Company bills customers on a weekly basis for work performed in the
      previous week. Due to the nature of the customers, the Company has
      experienced no significant losses due to uncollectible accounts receivable
      in recent years. No allowance is included in the accompanying financial
      statements as management believes all the receivables outstanding at March
      31, 1998 will be fully collected.

5.    Cash

      Cash consists only of a single non-interest-bearing checking account.

6.    Income Taxes

      The Company is on a calendar year basis for Federal income tax purposes.
      An estimate of the tax provision and the taxes due for the period April 1,
      1997 through March 31, 1998 is included in the financial statements. The
      Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method which
      requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
      expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
      carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities.

      Deferred taxes are provided for temporary differences between financial
      and tax accounting, principally for differences in the basis of property
      and equipment and in the differences between the cash basis of accounting
      used for tax purposes and the accrual basis of accounting used for
      financial reporting purposes.

7.    Estimates

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
      the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
      and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
      these estimates.

8.    Advertising

      The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred. Advertising
      expenses were $2,972 for the year ended March 31, 1998.

9.    Concentration of Risks

      The Company's services are provided to companies primarily located in
      Austin, Texas. For the year ended March 31, 1998, one company accounted
      for over 90% of the Company's revenues.

      At March 31, 1998, and other times throughout the year, the Company may
      maintain balances in its bank accounts in excess of the FDIC insured
      limits.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the
financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities. The temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and
liabilities are as follows:

At March 31, 1998, it is reasonably certain that all the temporary differences
will reverse in future years. Therefore, no valuation allowance is needed.

NOTE D - ACQUISITION BY SILICON VALLEY RESEARCH, INC.

On March 31, 1998, 100% of the shares of outstanding stock of the Company were
acquired by Silicon Valley Research, Inc. (SVR) from the former shareholders.
Under the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Company merged
with QIC Acquisition Corporation, a Texas Corporation and wholly owned
subsidiary of SVR. The Company will be the surviving Corporation. For federal
income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as
reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.

In accordance with terms of the agreement, the former owners and officers of the
Company entered into Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Non-Disclosure
Agreements which preclude them from performing or providing specified services
for a period of two years from the effective date of the agreement.

        (b) UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information has
been prepared to illustrate the effect of Silicon Valley Research, Inc.'s
("SVR") March 31, 1998 acquisition of Quality I.C. Corporation ("QIC"), which
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The unaudited pro
forma combined condensed financial statements are based on the respective
historical financial statements of SVR and QIC. In the opinion of management,
the accompanying combined condensed financial statements contain all normal,
recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial
position as of March 31, 1998 and the results of operations for the year ended
March 31, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet accounts for the
acquisition on March 31, 1998 and combines SVR's March 31, 1998 unaudited
consolidated condensed balance sheet with QIC's March 31, 1998 condensed balance
sheet. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations
assumes that the acquisition took place as of the beginning of the period
presented and combines SVR's unaudited consolidated condensed statement of
operations for the year ended March 31, 1998 and QIC's condensed statement of
operations for the year ended March 31, 1998.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial information is presented
for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the
operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the
acquisition had been consummated at the beginning of the period presented, nor
is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.

Note 1 -  The Acquisition and basis of combination

Consideration for the acquisition was $2,937 consisting of notes payable to the
former shareholders of QIC in the amount of $200 and the issuance of 3,150
shares of SVR common stock valued at $2,737. The allocation of the total
purchase price among identifiable tangible and intangible assets, as reflected
in the accompanying pro forma financial information, was based on an analysis of
the fair values of those assets prepared by the Company. The resulting purchased
in-process technology of $2,480 was expensed on the accompanying pro forma
combined consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 1998, the completion date of
the acquisition. The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
