Note C - Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Incomplete
Contracts
Revenues on long-term contracts are recognized using the percentage of
completion method.  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.

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

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to September 30, 1996.

Net sales in the third quarter of 1997 decreased 19.7% to $11.0 million from
$13.7 million.  Increased vision division sales (28.2%)  were offset by a
decrease in welding division sales (36.4%).  Increases in vision divsion sales
resulted from the Company's success in marketing products based on VisionBlox
technology and increases in CD vision inspection system sales offset in part by
decreases in sales of non-CD systems.  Welding division sales decreased as
fewer large automotive programs were scheduled in the third quarter of 1997 as
compared to the third quarter of 1996.

Cost of sales decreased to $7.3 million from $9.8 million and as a percentage
of net sales decreased to 66.5% from 72%. Cost of sales as percentage of net
sales decreased principally from the effects of sales of higher margin product
lines.  Additionally, many of the high volumn automotive programs produced in
the third quarter of 1996 were at thin margins.

Sales backlog for the Company at September 30, 1997 was $9.2 million compared
to $7.2 million at September 30, 1996.  The increase is due to orders received
for several new welding programs during the third quarter of 1997.

Marketing expense decreased to $1.0 million from $1.1million and increased as a
percentage of net sales to 9.1% from 8.2% due primarily to lower sales volumes
and the costs being essentially fixed.

General and administrative expense decreased to $.7 million from $.9 million
and as a percentage of net sales to 6.2% from 6.3%, principally as the result
of continued cost saving measures.

Research and development expense was relatively unchanged and increased as a
percentage of net sales to 7.8% from 6.3% due primarily to lower sales volumes.

Net interest expense increased to $.7 million from $.4 million and as a
percentage of sales to 6% from 3%, as the quarter had increased average debt
and debt at higher interest rates.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to September 30, 1996.

Net sales decreased 11% to $32.1 million from $36.1 million in 1996 with vision
division sales up 2% and welding division sales down 18%.  The vision division
had decreases in sales of CD audio inspection systems which  were offset by
increases in sales of VisionBlox based systems and other non-CD systems.
Welding division sales were down principally as the result of fewer large
automotive programs scheduled in 1997 as compared to 1996.

Cost of sales decreased to $22.3 million from $24.9 million and as a percentage
of net sales increased to 69.6% from 68.9%.

Marketing expense decreased to $3.0 million from $3.3million and as a
percentage of net sales increased to 9.6% from 9%.  These costs are essentially
fixed through a wide range of sales.

General and administration expense decreased to $1.9 million from $2.4 million
and as a percentage of net sales to 6% from 6.6%, principally as the result of
continued cost saving measures.

Research and development expense decreased to $2.2 million from $2.7 million
and as a percentage of net sales to 6.9% from 7.6%.   Fewer research and
development projects were scheduled in early 1997 compared to 1996 with
personnel terminated or re-assigned.

Net interest expense increased to $1.6 million from $1 million and as a
percentage of net sales to 5% from 2.8%, as 1997 had increased average debt and
debt at higher interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During July of 1997 the Company issued $7,000,000 of subordinated debentures,
sold $750,000 of common stock and refinanced its revolving note payable to
bank.  Proceeds totaling $7,400,000 (net of expenses) were used to pay down the
revolving note payable to the bank and other bank indebtedness.  The revolving
note payable has a maximum balance of $15,000,000 (including notes to the
bank). At September 30,1997 the company had approximately $3,200,000 avaliable
on this note.

During the three months ended September 30, 1997 the company used cash provided
by operating and financing activities principally to fund investments in
capitalized software.

The Company believes that current financial resources, together with cash
provided by operations, are adequate to meet cash needs for the next 12 months.
No significant commitments for capital expenditures exist as of September 30,
1997.  The Company does not expect that software development costs capitalized
during the next twelve months will exceed amortization of software development
costs.  The Company has no other plans for significant capital expenditures.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

Effective July 15, 1997, the Company closed the private placement of $7.0
million of subordinated debentures to seven purchasers, including Maxco, Inc.,
a currnt 21% shareholder of the Company.  The debentures were sold without
registration pursuant to the exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933.  Based on the information and warranties provided to it, the Company
believes that each of the purchasers is an "accredited investor" as defined in
Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.

The debenture notes have maturities up to eight years and bear interest at
12.95%.  Additionally, the note holders received warrants for the purchase of
up to 1.4 million Medar common shares at $6.86.  Subject to certain limitations
on common shareholder dilution in the first year in the event of significant
market increases in the Company's stock, warrant holders may exercise their
warrant, in whole or in part, at any time by surrender of their warrant and
payment of the exercise price.  In addition, warrant holders may convert their
warrants into the Company's common shares without the payment of the exercise
price to the extent the then current market price of such common shares exceeds
the exercise price.

As part of the same transaction, Maxco, Inc. agreed to purchase 150,000 newly
issued unregistered shares of Medar common stock at $5 per share.  Medar
