PART I  -  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:


NET SALES

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 of $9,157,000 were
up 26% from the same period last year of $7,240,000.  Continued
strength in sales and new orders for our telecommunication
product line contributed to this increase.



GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin was 49%, compared with 50% for the same period of
the prior year.  Manufacturing costs were relatively stable,
with a slight increase in cost of goods manufactured due to
product mix changes.



SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Expenses for selling, general and administrative were 14% of net
sales, a decrease from 17% for the same period last year. 
Dollar expenditures in this category were fairly constant
compared with last year, although, as a percentage of net sales,
such expenditures were lower due to higher net sales.



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

As a percentage of net sales, research and development costs for
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were 14% of net sales, compared
with 13% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Research
and development expenditures increased in dollar terms from
$948,000 last year to $1,282,000 this year.  The Company intends
to continue to invest heavily in its new product and process
development efforts.



INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME

Interest and other income for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
were $339,000 compared with $169,000 for the same period last
year.  This increase was primarily due to interest income on
short term investments.  The interest earned in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 was higher than in the same period of the
prior year due to slightly higher interest rates and increased
cash available for investment.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On June 30, 1995, the Company had $20,699,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and short term  investments compared with
$19,456,000 on March 31, 1995.  Management believes its current
cash and cash equivalents and short term investments will be
adequate to meet anticipated capital needs for the next twelve
months.  Capital expenditures for fiscal 1996 are expected to be
at approximately the same level as in fiscal 1995.



CERTAIN FACTORS

The industry in which the Company competes is characterized by
extremely rapid technological change and frequent product
introductions.  The Company believes that long term growth will
depend largely on its ability to continue to enhance existing
products and to introduce new products and features that meet
changing customer requirements.  While the Company has invested
heavily in new products and processes, there can be no assurance
that it can continue to introduce products and features on a
timely basis or that certain of its products and processes will
not be rendered noncompetitive or obsolete by its competitors.
