               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

     Sales for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 were $5,859,000 compared with
$4,853,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 21%. Bookings for the
three months ended March 30, 1996 were $6,606,000 versus $5,333,000 for the same
period in 1995, an increase of 24%. The increase in bookings and revenues were a
result of increased demand for its Unitherm(R) and Isotherm/TM/ product lines.
The Company also experienced an increased demand for its aqueous cleaner
product. The Company does not anticipate that the percentage increase in net
revenues and bookings for the three months ended March 30, 1996 is necessarily
indicative of the trend for the entire fiscal year as the Company has begun
seeing signs that the economy might be softening. Backlog as of March 30, 1996
was $3,594,000 versus $2,847,000 at December 31, 1995, and $3,068,000 at April
1, 1995.

     Gross margin for the three months ended March 30, 1996 increased to 40%
from 39% for the same period in 1995.  The increased margin is due to a
significantly higher volume of sales, increased labor efficiencies and reduced
material costs.   The Company increased its deductions/write-offs for excess and
obsolete inventory to $58,000 for the first quarter of 1996, as compared to
$54,000 for the first quarter of 1995.  Such increases are principally related
to the Company's production process and product line evolution.  As the Company
made changes in designs and processes, certain existing inventories were
affected.  The Company also changed its production process as the UNITHERM
product evolved.  This change necessitated the rework of certain inventory items
and the obsolescence of other items.  The Company increased its reserves for
obsolescence in recognition of these events and charged items to the reserves
upon disposal of the inventory.  The Company's provision for inventory reserves
was $695,000 at the end of the first quarter of 1996, and $760,000 at the end of
1995.

     Operating expenses for the three months ended March 30, 1996 were
$1,831,000 versus $1,518,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 15%.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales for such periods were 31% and 33%.
The increase in actual spending is partially the result of the increased sales
which resulted in increased staffing levels, commission and marketing expenses.

     For the first quarter of 1996, selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of sales were 25% versus 25% in 1995.  The increase in actual
spending is a result of the increased sales volume which resulted in higher
commission and marketing expenses.  Research and development expenses as a
percentage of sales for such periods were 6% in 1996 versus 6% in 1995.

     Costs relating to the Company's patent infringement lawsuit were $20,000
for the three months ended March 30, 1996, as compared to $75,000 for the
comparable 1995 period.  With the conclusion of the Conceptronic trial in August
1995, and a verdict rendered for the defendant, the Company does not anticipate
that additional costs relating to the appeal process will be significant until
such time as an appeal may be granted, which will be approximately 1-1 1/2 years
from the date the appeal was filed.

                                       8

     The Company had non-operating expenses of $5,000 for the three months ended
March 30, 1996 compared with $51,000 for the comparable period in 1995.

     The Company recorded tax expense of $202,000 for the quarter ended March
30, 1996, as compared to $3,000 for the comparable quarter of 1995.  The
increase in tax expense is primarily due to the recognition of net operating
loss carryforwards for book purposes in the first quarter of 1995 which
eliminated federal tax expense for that period.  During the fourth quarter of
1995, the Company reduced its income tax valuation allowance and therefore the
tax expense in the first quarter of 1996 reflects the Company's effective income
tax rate.  The Company used $109,000 of net operating loss carryforwards for tax
purposes, which reduced the actual tax payable.

     Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $303,000, compared to $224,000
for the comparable period of 1995.  For the first quarter of 1996, net income
was $0.03 per primary share, and $0.03 per fully diluted share.  For the
comparable 1995 period, net income was $0.03 per primary share, and $0.02 per
fully diluted share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company continues to monitor its operations spending levels very
closely with the goal of cash conservation. During the quarter ended March 30,
1996, cash decreased $506,000 to $2,319,000. This was a result of the Company's
increasing its inventory levels for the introduction of its new SELECTSeries/TM/
of reflow ovens. The Company also reduced its current liabilities during the
quarter.

     The Company has reviewed its capital spending budget for the remainder of
1996 and expects to finance its capital equipment acquisition through lease
financing.  The Company believes that its current cash balances and cash from
operations will be adequate to meet the Company's working capital requirements
during the year.

     On February 8, 1996, the Company announced that its Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of its common stock, or
approximately 500,000 shares.  Depending on business conditions, stock market
conditions, price per share and other factors, the Company will repurchase
shares in open market transactions.  If the Company were to repurchase the
entire 500,000 shares at current prices per share, the cost of the repurchase
could be $1,125,000 and would be funded through the Company's cash balances.  As
of May 10, 1996, the Company has not repurchased any shares.
