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

                     Material Change in Financial Condition

Shareholders'  equity in the Company increased $257,000  during  the  three
month  period  ended  September  30,  1996  as  a  result  of  income  from
operations.   This  compares with the same period in the  prior  year  when
shareholders'  equity  increased  $638,000  as  a  result  of  income  from
operations. Accounts receivables have increased in relation to sales due to
extended  terms offered on sales. Expenditures for the quarter for property
and  equipment were $80,000. Accumulated depreciation for the  quarter  was
$122,000.

                      Notes to Condensed Financial Statements, Continued

                     Material Changes in Results of Operations

Net  sales  for  the three months ended September 30, 1996 were  $5,806,000
compared  to  $7,477,000 for the same period in the prior year.   Sales  of
Amistar  machines, private label products, and spare parts  decreased  28%,
while  sales  of custom assembly increased 21%. The decrease  in  sales  of
manufactured and private label products was primarily due to the continuing
slowdown  in  the  computer memory module industry  and  due  to  increased
competition.

Gross  margins improved to 35% compared to 29% for the same period  in  the
prior  year,  resulting from a more favorable exchange  rate  of  the  U.S.
dollar  versus  the  Japanese yen on private label  products,  and  due  to
improved  profitability in our Custom Assembly Technologies division  which
was partially offset by start-up operating costs at our Anaheim, California
facility.  In  addition, the prior year quarter included the  sale  of  two
early production model surface mount machines at cost in order to penetrate
the European market.

Research  and  development expenses continued to increase  due  to  efforts
related  to the new high speed surface mount machine, and feeders  for  its
existing surface mount machines.

Income  taxes increased substantially over the prior year since the Company
had utilized its remaining tax carryovers in the prior year.
