ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Three months ended June 30, 1996.

       Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $886,131 as
compared to net sales of $1,122,938 for the same period in 1995, a decrease
of $236,807 or 21.0%.  The decrease in net sales was primarily a result of
decreased sales to two of the Company's principal OEM customers totaling
$359,518, and $104,125, respectively. The Company believes that sales to these
two OEM customers will remain at reduced levels for at least the remainder
of this fiscal year, and there is no guarantee that sales to these two OEM
customers will not be further reduced.  These net sales decreases were partially
offset by a $226,836 increase in sales to all other OEM and non-OEM customers.

       The Company believes that the decrease in product and service sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily a result of the normal,
recurring fluctuations in the level of product and service orders received by
the Company from its OEM customers.  Customer order levels fluctuate in part due
to quantity changes of Company produced products held in inventory by customers
at the time of order placement, changes in end-user demand for customer products
which use or incorporate the Company's products and services, and other factors.
  
        For the three months ended June 30, 1996, cost of products sold as a
percent of Company net sales increased from 75.3% in 1995 to 80.1% in 1996. This
percentage increase was primarily a result of increases in labor and overhead
cost percentages resulting from decreased net sales.
   
        Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 decreased by $26,289 or 15.9% when compared to the same period
in 1995.  This decrease resulted primarily from reduced insurance and other
administrative costs and expenses.

        Research and development expenditures for the period increased by
$67,676 or 74.2% when compared to the same period in 1995.  This increase was
primarily a result of the Company's efforts to develop solid state laser
technologies and other new market products. 

        As a result of the significant increase in research and development
expenditures, the decrease in net sales, and the other factors described above,
the Company recognized a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of
$114,084, or $.17 per share, compared to a net income from continuing operations
of $28,216, or $.04 per share, for the same period in 1995.

================================================================================

Six months ended June 30, 1996.

       Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $1,747,636 as
compared to net sales of $2,132,052 for the same period in 1995, a decrease
of $384,416 or 18.0%.  The decrease in net sales was primarily a result of
decreased sales to two of the Company's principal OEM customers totaling
$497,622, and $226,702, respectively. The Company believes that sales to these
two OEM customers will remain at reduced levels for at least the remainder
of this fiscal year, and there is no guarantee that sales to these two OEM
customers will not be further reduced.  These net sales decreases were partially
offset by a $339,908 increase in sales to all other OEM and non-OEM customers.

       The Company believes that the decrease in product and service sales
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily a result of the normal,
recurring fluctuations in the level of product and service orders received by
the Company from its OEM customers.  Customer order levels fluctuate in part
due to quantity changes of Company produced products held in inventory by
customers at the time of order placement, changes in end-user demand for
customer products which use or incorporate the Company's products and services,
and other factors. 
  
        For the six months ended June 30, 1996, cost of products sold as a
percent of Company net sales increased from 75.4% in 1995 to 81.2% in 1996. This
percentage increase was primarily a result of increases in labor and overhead
cost percentages resulting from decreased net sales.
   
        Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 decreased by $46,350 or 14.3% when compared to the same period in
1995.  This decrease resulted primarily from reduced legal, insurance and other
administrative costs and expenses.

        Research and development expenditures for the period increased by
$132,353 or 73.3% when compared to the same period in 1995.  This increase
was primarily a result of the Company's efforts to develop solid state laser
technologies and other new market products. 

        As a result of the significant increase in research and development
expenditures, the decrease in net sales, and the other factors described above,
the Company recognized a net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of
$247,210, or $.37 per share, compared to a net income from continuing operations
of $34,712, or $.05 per share, for the same period in 1995.   

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

       On June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $2,077,321 and cash
equivalents of $669,531 compared to working capital of $2,202,494 and cash
equivalents of $936,370 at December 31, 1995.  The decrease of $125,173 or
5.7% in working capital is due to the Company's financial results during the
six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease of $266,839 or 28.5% in cash
equivalents for the six month period is the result of the Company's financial
results and to increased trade accounts receivable.
