ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company had revenues of $9,039,176 
compared to revenues of $6,622,903 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  The 
increase in revenues resulted primarily from the additional revenues 
generated by the recently acquired Zercom Division.  The Company previously 
completed this acquisition in November,1996.  The net income for the three 
months ended June 30, 1997 was $167,252 or $.07 per share, compared to a net 
income of $288,552 or $.12 per share, for the three months ended June 30, 
1996.  The net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was primarily 
impacted by the continuing expending funds on Company-sponsored research and 
development of large-screen, high resolution video monitors for the Imaging 
Division, lower Revenue and Profit in the Cable & Harness Business.

For the six month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company had revenue of
$17,604,022 compared to revenue of $12,197,889 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  The net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $300,007 of 
$.13 per share compared to a net income of $478,446 or $.20 per share, for the
six months ended June 30, 1996.  The 1997 net income reflects an income after
recording a tax expense of $160,079 or 35% compared to tax expense of $159,500
or 25% recorded in 1996.

The Company's 90 day order backlog was $6,995,000 as of June 30, 1997, compared
to $6,668,000 at the beginning of  the quarter.  Based on the current
conditions, the Company anticipates revenue levels in the third quarter of 1997
to be slightly higher than the second quarter of 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

The Company's working capital increased to $9,206,777 during the second quarter
of 1997, compared to $8,498,531 as of December 31, 1996.  The Company believes
that its financial stability will continue to improve during 1997 and would
expect that its operating cash flow and available credit facilities will be
sufficient to fund the expected growth in the near term.
