The cost of contract research and service revenues declined to 71% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 72% for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  Cost of manufacturing equipment decreased to 87% for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 compared to 88% for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
The decrease in cost of sales is due to a decrease in overhead expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1996 were 27% of sales compared to 24% of sales for the six months ended June
30, 1995.  Selling, general and administration expenses increased as a
percentage of sales due to the lower volume.  Depreciation and amortization
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 15% to $570,000
compared to $673,000 in 1995.  Expenditures for capital equipment were $355,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $177,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.  The Company incurred interest income of $8,000 in the
first six months of 1996 compared to an interest expense of $38,000 in the same
period of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On April 5, 1996, the Company extended its a revolving credit facility with a
bank.  This agreement established a $2 million revolving credit agreement,
subject to the availability of eligible accounts receivable.  This line of
credit has been established to provide the Company with resources for general
working capital purposes and Standby Letter of Credit guarantees for foreign
customers.  The loan is secured by all assets of the Company.  Interest on the
loan is at prime.  The note contains restrictive covenants including provisions
relating to profitability and net worth.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
no outstanding balance under this revolving credit line.

The Company believes it has sufficient resources to finance its anticipated
capital expenditures through working capital, existing lines of credit or
available lease arrangements.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
In May, 1985, Electronic Space Systems Corporation ("ESSCO") filed suit against
the Company in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Middlesex County, Civil
Action No. 85-3126.  ESSCO sought to recover for, inter alia, alleged breach of
contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of
fiduciary duty and for alleged unfair or deceptive acts or practices in
violation of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 93A ("M.G.L. Ch. 93A") in
connection with ESSCO's allegation that the Company wrongfully repudiated
certain contractual obligations and a partnership agreement for the marketing
of photovoltaic products in the People's Republic of China and certain other
markets.  The Company filed an answer denying liability to ESSCO and also filed
counterclaims against ESSCO alleging, inter alia, ESSCO's breach of contract,
misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with the
Company's contracts, interference with the Company's advantageous business
relationships and unfair or deceptive practices in violation of M.G.L. Ch.  93A
and seeking a declaratory judgment that certain agreements between the Company
and ESSCO relating to the marketing of photovoltaic products are void.  The
trial to determine the liability of the parties commenced on March 11, 1992,
and on March 27, 1992, the jury returned a verdict that, inter alia, each party
had breached various obligations to the other.  Various post-trial motions by
both parties were rejected in all material respects by the Court.

A trial to assess the compensation due as a result of the liability
determinations made by the first jury was held from September 27, 1993 to
October 15, 1993.  The Company was awarded compensation on one claim; ESSCO's
previously agreed upon base compensation was reduced by the full amount of the
Company's counterclaim on a second issue; and the jury was unable to reach a
verdict on the third issue, involving ESSCO's misuse of the Company's
proprietary information.  The Company intends to pursue vigorously its claim
for damages resulting from ESSCO's misuse of the Company's proprietary
information.  A retrial date has not yet been established.  The net result of
the two trials to date is that neither party has a material liability to the
other, although the Company's claim for damages resulting from ESSCO's misuse
of the Company's proprietary information and the parties' M.G.L. Ch. 93A claims
against each other have yet to be decided.  A hearing on the M.G.L. Ch. 93A
issues was held in December 1993, but the Court has not yet ruled on those
issues.  Based on the proceedings to date and discussion with legal counsel,
the Company believes that the outcome of this matter will not have a material
negative effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations
but may have a positive impact.

ITEM 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K.

A.    Exhibits - No exhibits have been included.

B.    The Company filed no reports on Form 8-K during the quarter ended June
      30, 1996.
