Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month
period ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995. For further information,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in the Registrant Company and Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1994.

Certain items in the 1994 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform with the corresponding 1995 presentation.

Note B - Acquisition of Integral Vision Ltd.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock and
preference shares of Integral Vision Ltd. (Integral) for 654,282 previously
unissued shares of Medar, Inc. common stock. Integral is a machine vision
company located in the United Kingdom, which develops and manufactures
solutions for OEM's and end-users. This transaction has been accounted for as
a pooling of interests and accordingly, the consolidated financial statements
for all periods presented have been restated to include the accounts of
Integral.

Combined and separate results of Medar and Integral for the three months ended
March 31, 1994 are as follows:

Note D - Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Incomplete
         Contracts

Revenues on long-term contracts are recognized using the percentage of
completion method based on the ratio of labor costs incurred to date on the
contract to estimated total labor costs for the contract. The effects of
changes to estimated total contract costs are recognized in the period
determined and losses, if any, are recognized fully when identified. Costs
incurred and earnings recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified
under current assets as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
incomplete contracts. Long-term contracts include a relatively high percentage
of engineering costs and are generally less than one year in duration.

Activity on long-term contracts is summarized as follows:

Note E - Long Term Debt and Other Financing Arrangements

The Company has a $5,000,000 line of credit with its bank. The advances bear
interest at the bank's prime rate or a negotiated rate (at the Company's
option, subject to the bank's approval). In connection with this note, the
Company has agreed, among other covenants, to maintain net worth, debt to
equity, and debt service coverage as defined, at specified levels. This line
is payable upon demand and there were no amounts outstanding on this line at
March 31, 1995.

Long-term debt at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 consisted of the
following:

</TABLE>

The term note payable to the bank is payable in quarterly installments of
$62,500 plus interest at 1/4% over the bank's prime rate (the bank's prime
rate was 9.00% and 8.50% at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
respectively), with the balance becoming due June 29, 1998. This note is
collateralized by the Medar office and production facility in Farmington
Hills, Michigan and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable at all North
American locations.

Maturities of long-term debt, excluding those payable within twelve months
from March 31, 1995 (which are stated as current maturities of long-term
debt), are $253,000 in 1996; $250,000 in 1997; and $1,375,000 in 1998.

Note G - Stock Options

At March 31, 1995, there were options to purchase 630,100 shares outstanding
ranging in price from $1.50 to $11.50.


Note H - Legal Proceedings

On April 8, 1994, Square D Company ("Square D") filed in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan a lawsuit against the
Company alleging that certain of the Company's resistance welding control
products infringe two patents of Square D. On April 8, 1994, Square D filed a
second suit, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,
making similar allegations relating to three different patents of Square D.
The Delaware suit has subsequently been amended to add a fourth patent. The
complaints in both actions seek injunctive relief, damages, treble damages,
interest, costs, and attorney's fees. The Company believes that it has
defenses to the claims and intends to defend this litigation vigorously. This
litigation has and will continue to require the Company to incur substantial
costs and has and will require significant commitment of the time and
attention of management. There can be no assurance as to the outcome of this
or any litigation and adverse findings could subject the Company to liability
to Square D, require the Company to obtain licenses from Square D, or
otherwise affect the Company's ability to manufacture and sell the resistance
welding products involved.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
        Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $2.1 million (22.8%) from $9.3 million to $11.4 million in
the first quarter of 1995. The increase was due to a higher volume of vision
product sales as the demand for the Company's optical inspection product line
continued. The quarter also contained an increase in vision sales from its
recently acquired subsidiary, Integral Vision Ltd.

Cost of sales increased from $6.2 million to $8.1 million and as a percentage
of net sales from 66.8% to 71.5%. The increased percentage is principally the
result of increased manufacturing costs not recovered through sales price
increases, costs incurred related to the introduction of new products and
changes in the mix of welding products.

Sales backlog for the Company at March 31, 1995 was $7.5 million, compared to
$7.4 million at March 31, 1994.

Marketing expense increased from $0.8 million to $1.1 million and as a
percentage of net sales from 8.5% to 9.5%. The increase was due to increased
personnel and promotional activity being devoted to support of higher sales
volume and the marketing of new products.

General and administrative expense increased from $0.5 million to $1.4 million
and as a percentage of net sales from 5.5% to 12.6%. The major reason for this
increase was the $0.7 million of legal fees incurred as part of the patent
litigation currently in process. These legal expenses will likely continue
until this litigation is closed.

Research and development expenses remained relatively unchanged at $0.5
million.

Net interest expense decreased as a percentage of net sales from 1.3% to 0.2%.
The decrease is the result of a portion of the proceeds from the stock
offering in May 1994 being used to pay off debt and the remainder being
invested.

The provision for income taxes decreased from $0.2 million to $0.1 million,
but the effective tax rate increased from 1994 to 1995. The increase in the
effective tax rate is the result of the utilization of net operating loss
carryforwards in 1994. There were no remaining net operating loss
carryforwards available for use in 1995 for financial reporting purposes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a $5,000,000 line of credit with its bank. The advances bear
interest at the bank's prime rate or a negotiated rate (at the Company's
option, subject to the bank's approval). This line is payable upon demand and
there were no amounts outstanding on this facility at March 31, 1995.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company utilized cash generated
from operations, the increase in accounts payable and the sale of short-term
investments to fund the investment in property and equipment and capitalized
software as well as the increase in accounts receivable and inventory. The
accounts receivable increase was principally related to an increase in
invoicing activity during the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The increase in
inventory is primarily related to the increase in business activity in 1995.

The Company believes that current financial resources, together with cash
generated from operations, will be adequate to meet cash requirements through
1995. The 1995 acquisition of Integral is not expected to significantly impact
the Company's financial resources. The Company does not currently anticipate
capital expenditures in excess of $1.5 million for 1995.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Items 1 and 5.   Legal proceedings and other information

                 On April 8, 1994, Square D Company ("Square D") filed in the
                 United States District Court for the Eastern District of
                 Michigan a lawsuit against the Company alleging that certain
                 of the Company's resistance welding control products infringe
                 two patents of Square D. On April 8, 1994, Square D filed a

                 and adverse findings could subject the Company to liability
                 to Square D, require the Company to obtain licenses from
                 Square D, or otherwise affect the Company's ability to
                 manufacture and sell the resistance welding products
                 involved.
