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

                       Material Change in Financial Condition

Shareholders' equity in the Company increased $502,000 during the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a result of income from 
operations.  This compares with the same period in the prior year when 
shareholders' equity increased $673,000 primarily as a result of income from 
operations. Cash grew significantly as accounts receivable decreased during 
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, resulting from a lower level of 
monthly sales than experienced in December 1996. Inventories increased as 
stock levels were replenished after the fourth quarter depletion in 1996. 
Expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, for property and 
equipment were $692,000, and consisted of surface mount machines for the 
contract assembly division and costs related to the new enterprise-wide 
information system.

              Notes to Condensed Financial Statements, Continued

                  Material Changes in Results of Operations

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1997, were $4,454,000 
compared to $5,806,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease 
in sales was primarily due to fewer shipments of manufactured machines 
resulting from continuing engineering required on the new surface mount 
machine. In addition, the private label machine sales were impacted by 
delays in delivery of the newest machine models from its offshore supplier.

Gross margin for the current quarter decreased as a percentage of sales due 
to a higher mix of contract assembly sales, which currently produce a lower 
margin than machine division sales.

Other income increased in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, due to 
the recognition of deferred interest income on a contract receivable that 
was paid off
