            NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                             February 28, 1999


NOTE A - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant
  to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission;
  accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally
  included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
  accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  The
  condensed balance sheet at August 31, 1998 has been derived from the
  audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
  the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
  principles for complete financial statements. These interim financial
  statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
  and notes in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with
  the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all
  adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary
  for a fair presentation of the interim periods.

NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

  Earnings per share are calculated in accordance with the provisions of
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 - "Earnings per
  Share" (SFAS No. 128).  SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to report both
  basic earnings per share which is based on weighted-average number of
  common shares outstanding and diluted earnings per share which is based
  on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and all
  dilutive potential common shares outstanding.  All earnings per share
  data in this report reflect basic earnings per share, unless otherwise
  indicated.  The details of the earnings per share calculations for the
  three and six months ending February 28, 1999 and 1998 are as follows:

NOTE C - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

       The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
       "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS No. 130), which establishes
       standards for the reporting and presentation of changes in equity from
       nonowner sources in the financial statements.  Nonowner changes in
       stockholders' equity consist of net income and unrealized holding gains
       and losses on marketable securities.

       Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
       SFAS No. 130 requirements.

Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenues for the second quarter ended February 28, 1999 decreased 26% from
the same period the preceding year and decreased 25% for the six months
ended February 28, 1999, compared to the six months ended February 28,
1998.  The revenue decrease has primarily resulted from a slow-down in the
semi-conductor capital equipment market relating primarily to the
instability in Asian financial markets, delays in the acceptance of next
generation wafer-processing technology, and erosion of DRAM margins.

Gross profit percentages for the second quarter ended February 28, 1999 and
1998 were 59% and 61%, respectively.  Gross profit percentages for the six
months ended February 28, 1999 and 1998 were 60%.

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales was 56% for the three months
and 54% for the six months ended February 28, 1999 compared to 38% and 39%
for the same periods the prior year, respectively.  The increase in
operating expenses as percentage of revenue was due primarily to the
decrease in revenue for the quarter and six months.

Other income decreased $340,527 for the quarter ended February 28, 1999 and
decreased $337,700 for the six months ended February 28, 1999 from the same
periods the preceding year.  The decrease was primarily a result of
partially liquidating the Company's investments in anticipation of the
pending merger.

The Company had a net loss of $96,481 for the quarter ended February 28,
1999 compared to net income of  $322,715 for the quarter ended February 28,
1998.  Net income for the six months ended February 28, 1999 and February
28, 1998 was $25,813 and $532,123, respectively.  The decrease was primary
due to the decrease in revenue for the three and six months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Registrant's balance sheet shows a strong capital position.  Operations
used $21,304 in cash during the six months compared to $205,790 the same
period the prior year.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $1,667,363
since August 31, 1998.  Investing activities provided cash of $378,398
primarily due to the partial liquidation of the Company's investments in
anticipation of the pending merger.  Proceeds from the exercise of stock
options was $54,186.  Registrant expects that there will be sufficient
capital to fund its operations during fiscal year 1999.

At February 28, 1999, the Company had investments with a cost and fair
market value of $2,081,205 and $1,578,969, respectively, consisting
primarily of investments in equity securities.  This compares to a cost and
fair market value of $2,772,464 and $2,004,726, respectively, at August 31,
1998.  Approximately 45% of the fair market value was represented by
investments in three companies at February 28, 1999.   Approximately 46% of
the fair market value as of August 31, 1998 was represented by investments
in four companies.  

Registrant has no long-term debt and does not anticipate, at this time,
that it will be necessary to seek any debt financing in the near future for
ongoing operations, but may consider some type of financing for other
purposes.

Year 2000 Issue
- ---------------

The Company has completed an assessment of Year 2000 compliance for its
products and critical operating and application systems.  This assessment
identified no material Year 2000 compliance issues.  The Company expects to
be fully Year 2000 compliant prior to December 31, 1999.  The costs
associated with the assessment and any modifications were less than
$10,000.

The Company's controllers and encoder interface products are not affected
by the Year 2000.  Depending on the customer's particular application,
certain of the Company's carrier boards may be susceptible to Year 2000
problems.  Sales of these carrier boards have represented as much as 10% of
the Company's revenues in recent periods. Customers may seek redress from
the Company in the event that the Company's products are not Year 2000
compliant.

Ultimately, the potential impact of the Year 2000 issue will depend not
only on the actions taken by the Company, but also how the Year 2000 issue
is addressed by customers, vendors, service providers, utilities,
governmental agencies and other entities with which the Company does
business.  The Company is communicating with these parties to learn
commitment dates from the various parties as to their Year 2000 readiness
and delivery of compliant software and other products.  This process will
continue throughout fiscal year 1999.  The Year 2000 efforts of third
parties are not within the Company's control, however, and their failure to
respond to Year 2000 issues successfully could result in business
disruption and increased operating cost for the Company.  At the present
time, it is not possible to determine whether any such events are likely to
occur, or to quantify any potential negative impact they may have on the
Company's future results of operations and financial condition.  The
Company expects to assess its need for contingency plans during 1999.

In the most reasonably likely worst case scenario, the failure of a
material vendor or system to be Year 2000 compliant could prevent or delay
delivery of the Company's product to its customers or have other unforeseen
adverse consequences.  The Company believes that its continuing Year 2000
compliance efforts minimize this risk, but such a scenario is possible and
could result in decreased revenues and damage to its customer
relationships.

The foregoing discussion regarding the timing, effectiveness,
implementation, and cost of the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts
contains forward-looking statements which are based on management's best
estimates derived using assumptions.  These forward-looking statements
involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ
materially from those contemplated by such statements.  Factors that might
cause material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability of key Year 2000 personnel, the Company's ability to locate
and correct all relevant computer codes, the readiness of third parties,
and the Company's ability to respond to unforeseen year 2000 complications. 
Such material differences could result in, among other things, business
disruptions, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability and
similar risks.

Cautionary Statement
- --------------------

Statements included in this Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation and elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB, in future filings by the
Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in the
Registrant's press releases and oral statements made with the approval of
authorized executive officers, if the statements are not historical or
current facts, should be considered "forward-looking statements" made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  These statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. 
Registrant wishes to caution the reader not to place undue reliance on any
such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
