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 $350,000 during the three 
month period ended March 31, 1997, primarily as a result of income from 
operations.  This compares with the same period in the prior year when 
shareholders' equity increased $203,000 primarily as a result of income from 
operations. Accounts receivable decreased in relation to sales following a 
strong fourth quarter in 1996. Inventories increased as stock levels were 
replenished after the fourth quarter depletion in 1996. Expenditures for the 
quarter for property and equipment were $358,000, 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 March 31, 1997, were $6,415,000 
compared to $4,873,000 for the same period in the prior year.  Sales of 
Amistar machines, private label products, and spare parts increased 26%, 
while sales of custom assembly increased 50%. The increase in sales of 
manufactured and private label products was primarily due to the continuing 
upturn in the computer memory module industry. The majority of machines sold 
were private label. Sales of contract assembly increased primarily as result 
of the expansion of operations at an additional location in Anaheim, 
California. 

Gross margins as a percent of sales decreased to 36% compared to 37% for the 
same period in the prior year, resulting from a higher mix of contract 
assembly sales and partially offset by a more favorable exchange rate of the 
U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen on private label sales. 

Research and development expenses increased due to efforts related to 
feeders for the new high speed surface mount machine recently completed.
