PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of September 30, 1995 and
the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 have been prepared
without audit.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report for the year
ended December 31, 1994.
In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements for the unaudited interim periods presented
herein include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary to present a fair statement of
financial position and of the results of operations for such
interim periods. Net operating results for any interim period
may not be comparable to the same interim period in previous
years, nor necessarily indicative of earnings that may be
expected for the full year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition
The Company had net working capital of $1,239,017 and a
current ratio of 6 to 1 at September 30, 1995, compared to net
working capital of $1,333,476 and a current ratio of 11 to 1 at
December 31, 1994. Net working capital decreased during the
quarter due to the operating loss of the Company, and increases
in accounts payable and customer deposits. The increase in
customer deposits is a result of a backlog of orders for the
DP100.
Inventories at September 30, 1995 increased by $74,551 from
December 31, 1994 which is attributed to an increase in raw
materials in order to meet future production requirements for
current and new products. Production of the Company's new digital
processor, the DP100, and the RDS/RBDS generator, the SC100 V1,
are currently scheduled for production in December 1995. Design
modifications have delayed the production schedules.
The Company's credit line of $200,000 was not utilized
during the quarter and at September 30, 1995 had no outstanding
balance. The credit agreement is collateralized by accounts
receivable, and bears interest at prime plus 1% on outstanding
amounts. Management does not contemplate usage of the line for
anything other than offsetting investment timing and cash flow
management.
At September 30, 1995, the Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115 in
May 1993 establishing certain new financial accounting and
reporting standards for investments in debt and equity
securities. SFAS No. 115 requires the classification of
securities at acquisition into one of three categories: held-to-
maturity, available-for-sale, or trading -- with different
reporting requirements for each classification. All of the
Company's marketable securities are classified as available-for-
sale, and are carried at fair value. The estimated fair value of
the Company's securities approximated cost at December 31, 1994
and September 30, 1995.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Net sales during the third quarter of 1995 totaled $488,576
compared to sales of $555,560 for the same period of 1994, a
decrease of 12%. The decrease was the result of a lower
international demand for the Company's radio products, offset
partially by increased domestic TV products. Net sales for the
first nine months of 1995 were $1,448,626 which was comparable to
net sales for the same period of 1994 of $1,452,051.
Cost of goods sold was 37% and 36% of net sales and gross
margins were 63% and 64% for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, cost of goods sold was 35% of net sales
and the gross margin was 65%. Cost of goods sold for the nine
months of 1994 was 37% of net sales and the gross margin was 63%.
The Company incurred $292,716 of selling, general and
administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1995 which was an
increase of $33,666 compared to selling, general and admin-
istrative expenses of $259,050 in the third quarter of 1994. The
increase in 1995 is the result of increased travel and promotion
expenses relating to the introduction of the new products. For
the nine months ended September 30, 1995, selling, general and
administrative expenses were $57,162 lower then the same period
of 1994. This was the result of the Company realizing the
benefits of managements cut backs of support personnel in
accounting, administration and marketing that were instituted in
the third quarter of 1994.
Research and development expense in the third quarter of
1995 totaled $100,252, an increase of $34,106 from the third
quarter of 1994. The increase was the result of contract engi-
neering work on the new products, the DP100 and the RDS/RBDS
units. For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, research
and development expenses increased $47,042 over the same period
of 1994. This increase is the result of contract engineering
costs.
Interest and other income was $4,887 for the third quarter
of 1995. Interest and other income for the third quarter of 1994
was $26,114 which included one time receipts of engineering fees
of $12,000 and a gain on the sale of securities of $8,937. This
also accounts for the difference of $18,827 in the interest and
other income for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Interest expense consists of the interest on the long-term
<PAGE> 8
mortgage collateralized by the Company's headquarter facility
plus bank costs for the Company's credit line which is occasion-
ally used to manage cash flow.
The Company has received all available tax refunds from
previous periods.
Net loss for the third quarter of 1995 was $85,713 as
compared to net income for the third quarter of 1994 of $30,006.
The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was
$130,491 compared to a net loss of $129,083 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994.
