     The interim financial statements presented herein are unaudited.  They 
reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to 
fairly present the Company's financial position and results of operations for 
the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring 
nature.  The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended 
September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected 
for the entire fiscal year.

     The interim consolidated financial information should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, Commission file 
number 0-13318, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.

     Certain fiscal 1995 amounts have been reclassed for comparative purposes.


NOTE 2 - Short-Term Investments

    The Company's short-term investments consist entirely of commercial paper.  
These investments, which are held to maturity (less than three months from the 
date of purchase), are carried at cost which approximates their market value.


NOTE 3 - Inventory

     Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or 
market.  All classifications of inventory include materials and an allocation 
of manufacturing overhead.  Systems-in-process and completed systems include an 
allocation of labor.

     The major classifications of inventory are as follows (in thousands):

      Approximately $400,000 of inventory at September 30, 1995 and March 31, 
1995 relates to a lot terminated for the convenience of the government during 
fiscal 1994 under a long-term subcontract under the United States Navy's SH-60 
Program.  The Company has submitted a claim for recovery of related costs and 
inventory and is actively working with the government and the prime contractor 
toward settlement of the claim.


NOTE 4 - Accounts Receivable

     Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of 
$28,000 and $74,000 at September 30, 1995 and March 31, 1995, respectively.


NOTE 5 - Sales to General Electric Medical Systems ("GEMS")

     The Company's revenue from shipments of ST-RP's and related services to 
GEMS totaled $98,000 and $5.6 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 
and 1994, respectively.  For the six months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, 
revenue from GEMS totaled $2.3 million and $11.0 million, respectively.  In 
January 1995, the Company filed a demand for arbitration against GEMS brought 
under a development and technology transfer agreement with GEMS (the 
"Development Agreement").  (See Note 8.)  During May 1995, GEMS ceased 
purchasing such products from the Company.


NOTE 6 - Notes Payable and Capital Lease Obligations

     On September 30, 1995, the Company's revolving credit note agreement 
expired and was not renewed.  The Company had not borrowed under this agreement 
since December 1993 and has had sufficient cash reserves for its operating 
needs since that time.  Although the Company does not currently need a credit 
agreement to meet its operating requirements, the Company is in discussion with 
several banks regarding potential credit agreement arrangements.  The Company's 
remaining short- and long-term obligations relate entirely to capital lease 
obligations.

     The Company expects to have sufficient cash, through its current cash and 
short-term investments position and from operations, to meet its fiscal 1996 
operating requirements.  In the event that the Company requires more funds, 
there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in raising new 
capital from external sources.

    There was no interest paid during the six months ended September 30, 1995.  
Interest paid during the six months ended September 30, 1994 was $3,000.


NOTE 7 - Repurchase of Preferred Stock

     In March and April, 1995, the Company repurchased and retired 46% of the 
outstanding  shares of its Series B and Series C Senior Preferred Stock (the 
"Preferred Stock") from two of the three preferred shareholders.  In the March 
transaction, the Company paid $950,000 for 37,240 shares of the Preferred Stock 
which had a redemption price of more than $4.9 million, including cumulative 
undeclared dividends of $1.2 million.  In the April transaction, the Company 




                                      -5-
<PAGE>
paid $1.2 million for 46,549 shares of the Preferred Stock which had a 
redemption price of $6.2 million, including cumulative undeclared dividends in 
excess of $1.5 million.  For purposes of computing the earnings per share for 
the six-month period ended September 30, 1995, the April transaction resulted 
in the availability of $5.0 million additional earnings to common stockholders, 
representing the difference between the carrying amount of the redeemed 
Preferred Stock, including cumulative undeclared dividends, and the price paid 
by the Company to repurchase the stock.


NOTE 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

     In July 1991, the Company filed a lawsuit against Ronald G. Walters 
("Walters") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of 
Ohio alleging breach of contract arising from Walters' interference with the 
Company's ownership of a certain technology used in its reconstruction 
processor business.  Walters alleged ownership of the technology, and in a 
counterclaim filed in August 1991, sought unstated damages and a declaratory 
judgment regarding the disputed technology.  In April 1995, a trial was held in 
the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio on the 
Company's claim for breach of contract against Walters and Walters' 
counterclaim for breach of contract against the Company.  On April 24, 1995, a 
jury returned a verdict for Walters, finding in his favor on his claim for 
breach of contract and against Star on its claim for breach of contract.  The 
jury found that Walters does not have an obligation to assign his ownership 
rights in the disputed technology to Star.  On June 13, 1995, Walters filed a 
separate lawsuit against the Company, its Directors and certain officers in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio alleging patent 
infringement and unjust enrichment in connection with the Company's use of the 
disputed technology.  Walters seeks damages of $67,500,000, trebling of any 
damages awarded, and an injunction that would prohibit the Company from using 
the disputed technology.  Management believes it has valid defenses to this 
claim.

     On January 25, 1995, the Company filed a demand for arbitration (the 
"Demand") with the Commercial Arbitration Tribunal of the American Arbitration 
Association requesting arbitration of certain contract claims against GEMS 
brought under the Development Agreement.  The Development Agreement obligates 
GEMS to purchase its requirements for up to 900 reconstruction processors, 
defined in the Development Agreement as "GE Commercial Reconstruction 
Processors" ("GECRPs"), from the Company and to pay royalties for certain 
reconstruction processors that GEMS has the right to produce under the 
Agreement.  GEMS has developed its own reconstruction processor instead of 
purchasing the Company's.  As discussed in Note 5, in May 1995, GEMS ceased 
ordering reconstruction processors from the Company.  Additionally, GEMS has 
informed the company that GEMS is using in its reconstruction processors 
certain technology in which the Company has a proprietary interest.  The 
Company believes that the Agreement prohibits such use.  Accordingly, the 
Demand alleges that GEMS has breached its obligation to purchase its 
requirements for GECRPs from the Company and has breached its obligation not to 
use certain proprietary technology in its reconstruction processors.  The 
Company is seeking monetary damages from GEMS and a permanent injunction 
prohibiting GEMS from selling, marketing and distributing GEMS' reconstruction 
processors.  The arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin in December 1995.

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

Results of Operations

     The Company previously reported that General Electric Medical Systems 
("GEMS") had informed the Company that GEMS intended to phase into full 
production a reconstruction processor it was developing and to phase out 
purchases of the Company's most recently developed reconstruction processor, 
the ST-RP.  Revenue from GEMS accounted for 74% and 90% of the Company's total 
revenue for the six months ended September 30, 1995 and for the fiscal year 
ended March 31, 1995.  GEMS informed the Company that it did not intend to 
purchase additional units after May 1995.  Accordingly, the Company has not had 
orders from GEMS for the ST-RP and has not shipped any new systems since May 
1995.  The Company believes that GEMS is obligated, under the terms of the 
Development and Technology Transfer Agreement between the Company and GEMS (the 
"GEMS Agreement"), to continue to obtain its requirements for reconstruction 
processors from the Company.  In January 1995, the Company filed a demand for 
arbitration in accordance with the terms of the GEMS Agreement.  The 
arbitration hearing is scheduled to begin in December 1995.  There can be no 
assurances that the Company will prevail in its arbitration claim against GEMS, 
or that a favorable outcome would result in additional sales to GEMS or damages 
payable to the Company.

     Revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 1995 
decreased 92% and 74% respectively, from the same periods a year ago, due to 
lower sales to GEMS.  Revenue from sales to GEMS totalled $98,000 and $5.6 
million for the quarters ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively; and 
$2.3 million and $11.0 million for the six-month periods ended September 30, 
1995 and 1994, respectively.

     The gross margin percentage for the six-month period ended September 30, 
1995 increased to 46% from 36% from the comparable prior year period, primarily 
due to cost reductions achieved beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 
on the medical imaging product sold to GEMS, in addition to the completion of a 
low margin, long-term sub-contract in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.  The 
gross margin percentage for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 was 37% which 
reflects the loss of the higher margin GEMS medical imaging product last sold 
to GEMS in May 1995 as well as a higher absorption rate of fixed costs 
associated with reduced revenue levels during the quarter.

     In response to the elimination of reconstruction processor sales to GEMS, 
in early June 1995, the Company reduced its workforce approximately 30%, 
affecting manufacturing, engineering and administrative departments.  Resultant 
cost reductions are reflected in the second quarter of fiscal 1996.

     Research and development ("R&D") expense for the three and six months 
ended September 30, 1995 decreased 51% and 37% from the comparable prior year 
periods.  The decreases are primarily attributable to lower costs as a result 
of the sale of the Graphicon division in March 1995 and a company-wide 
reduction in workforce in June 1995.  The Company has concentrated its R&D 
efforts over the past two years exploring growth opportunities in the medical 
imaging business in which the Company has over ten years of experience.  The 
Company has targeted the medical information system market, including both 
medical reporting and digital medical imaging and communications systems.  In 
May and August 1995, the Company received Food and Drug Administration approval 


                                      -7-
<PAGE>
to market the Image Management Server and the Film Image Scan System, two of 
the Company's new products.  Due to the nature of its business, the Company 
expects R&D expense to continue to be a significant operating expense.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and six months 
ended September 30, 1995 decreased 29% and 17% respectively from the same 
periods a year ago primarily due to the company-wide workforce reduction in 
June 1995.  During the three- and six-month periods ended September 30, 1995 
and 1994, the Company earned $114,000 and $42,000, and $251,000 and $65,000 
respectively, of net interest income on its short-term investments.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company had a net cash outflow from operating activities of $1,076,000 
for the six months ended September 30, 1995, primarily as a result of the 
significant reduction in revenue.

     On September 30, 1995, the Company's revolving credit note agreement 
expired and was not renewed.  The Company had not borrowed under this agreement 
since December 1993 and has had sufficient cash reserves for its operating 
needs since that time.  Although the Company does not need a credit agreement 
to meet its operating requirements for the fiscal year, the Company is in 
discussion with several banks regarding potential credit agreement 
arrangements.  The Company's remaining short- and long-term obligations relate 
entirely to capital lease obligations.

     The Company expects to have sufficient cash, through its current cash and 
short-term investment position and from operations, to meet its fiscal 1996 
operating requirements.  In the event that the Company requires more funds, 
there can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in raising new 
capital from external sources.

     In March and April, 1995, the Company repurchased and retired 46% of the 
outstanding  shares of its Series B and Series C Senior Preferred Stock (the 
"Preferred Stock") from two of the three preferred shareholders.  In the March 
transaction, the Company paid $950,000 for 37,240 shares of the Preferred Stock 
which had a redemption price of more than $4.9 million, including cumulative 
undeclared dividends of $1.2 million.  In the April transaction, the Company 
paid $1.2 million for 46,549 shares of the Preferred Stock which had a 
redemption price of $6.2 million, including cumulative undeclared dividends in 
excess of $1.5 million.  For purposes of computing earnings per share for the 
six months ended September 30, 1995, the April transaction resulted in the 
availability of $5.0 million additional earnings to common stockholders, 
representing the difference between the carrying amount of the redeemed 
preferred stock, including cumulative undeclared dividends, and the price paid 
by the Company to repurchase the stock.

     For the remaining preferred shareholder, General Electric Company ("GE"), 
the Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 12% per annum, effective 
June 1, 1995.  The original rate was 10% per annum.  The dividend rate is 
subject to scheduled annual increases of 2% per annum on June 1, 1996 and 1% 
per annum on June 1, 1997.  The per annum dividend rate on the Preferred Stock 
is also subject to a 2% increase should the Company breach any of certain 
covenants outlined in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement or not pay in full 
when due any dividends on the Preferred Stock.  The Company is not in 
compliance with certain of the covenants in the Preferred Stock Purchase 
Agreement and has not paid the dividends due on the remaining Preferred Stock.  

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
Consequently, dividends have been calculated at an aggregate dividend rate of 
12% per annum through May 31, 1995, and are currently calculated at 14% per 
annum.  To the extent declared, such dividends would be payable quarterly in 
the amount of $348,000 in cash.  Unpaid cumulative dividends in arrears on the 
remaining Preferred Stock total $3.9 million as of September 30, 1995.  The 
Company has suspended discussions with GE regarding the remaining Preferred 
Stock, pending resolution of the arbitration concerning the GEMS Agreement 
referred to above.

     As discussed in Note 8 to the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial 
Statements, on June 13, 1995, Ronald Walters filed a claim against the Company 
for patent infringement and unjust enrichment.  While the Company cannot 
predict the likely outcome of this matter at this time, a judgment against the 
Company could have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of 
operations and liquidity.  Management believes that it has valid defenses 
against this claim.

Corporate Repositioning

     As previously discussed in Results of Operations, GEMS, the Company's 
major customer, informed the Company that it would not purchase additional 
ST-RP units from the Company after May 1995.  Revenue from GEMS accounted for 
74% of total revenue in the first six months of fiscal 1996.  The Company does 
not anticipate any additional orders from GEMS for the ST-RP product.

     In May and August 1995, the Company received Food and Drug Administration 
approval to market the Image Management Server and the Film Image Scan System, 
two of the Company's new products.  The Company continues to work on these and 
other products in the imaging and information systems market and anticipates 
bringing some of the products to market during the third quarter of fiscal 
1996.  The Company can give no assurances that the new products will be 
accepted in the market place or will significantly offset the lost revenue from 
GEMS.  

     In May 1995, the Company engaged the investment banking firm of Broadview 
Associates, LP of San Mateo, California to assist the Company in the 
identification of strategic opportunities.  The Company continues to review 
business opportunities and new products that build on the Company's experience.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

     Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     See Part I, Item 1, Note 8.

     Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities

     The Company's Series B and C Senior Preferred Stock (the "Preferred 
Stock") issued in May 1990 accrues dividends at a rate of 12% per annum, 
effective June 1, 1995.  The original rate was 10% per annum.  The dividend 
rate is subject to scheduled annual increases of 2% on June 1, 1996 and 1% per 
annum on June 1, 1997.  The per annum dividend rate on the Preferred Stock is 
also subject to a 2% increase should the Company breach any of certain 
covenants outlined in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement or not pay in full 
when due any dividends on the Preferred Stock.  The Company is not in 
compliance with certain of the covenants in the Preferred Stock Purchase 
Agreement and has not paid the dividends due on the Preferred Stock.  
Consequently, dividends have been calculated at an aggregate dividend rate of 
12% per annum through May 31, 1995, and are currently calculated at 14% per 
annum.  To the extent declared, such dividends would be payable quarterly in 
the amount of $348,000 in cash.  Unpaid cumulative dividends in arrears on the 
Preferred Stock total $3.9 million as of September 30, 1995.  The Company has 
suspended discussions regarding the Preferred Stock with the holder, GE, 
pending resolution of the arbitration concerning the GEMS Agreement referred to 
above.
