Income taxes
- ------------

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a 100%
valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets. This valuation was based
on the 1999 year-to-date loss position and management's belief that it is not
more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize the benefits of
the deferred tax assets in the future. The current quarter income tax expense
was offset by the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements
- --------------------------

     This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, particularly statements
regarding market opportunities, customer acceptance of products, gross margin
and marketing expenses. These forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties, and the cautionary statements set forth below, identify important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any
such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to,
adverse changes in general economic conditions, including changes in the
specific markets for the Company's products, product availability, decreased or
lack of growth in the electronics industry, adverse changes in customer order
patterns, increased competition, lack of acceptance of new products, pricing
pressures, lack of success in technological advancements, risks associated with
foreign trade and other factors.

                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales
- ---------

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $4,775,000
compared to $4,619,000 for the same period in the prior year. During the current
period, sales of the Company's surface mount machine declined, while sales of
the newly introduced DataPlace(TM) label placement machine increased. The
current period DataPlace machine sales were made to major OEM and contract
manufacturers and included both repeat and multiple unit orders. The Company
anticipates that surface mount machine sales will continue to decline and
therefore provide a less significant contribution to machine sales.

Gross Profit
- ------------

     Gross profit in the machine division improved over the comparable quarter
in 1999 due to the higher margins realized on the DataPlace machines.

Selling Expenses
- ----------------

     Selling expenses decreased due to reduced commission expenses on machines
sold on a direct basis and due to marketing and field service expense
reductions.

Research and Development
- ------------------------

     Research and development expenses decreased due to lower costs incurred on
the DataPlace 100LP machine during the production phase and the preliminary
development phase of the next machine in the DataPlace family.

         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED

Income tax expense
- ------------------

     The current quarter income tax expense was offset by the utilization of net
operating loss carry-forwards.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash flow from operations was $651,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000. Trade accounts and notes receivable decreased primarily
due to the repossession of ten private label machines from PricePoint Micro
Technologies due to default on the contract receivable terms. The repossession
in January 2000 resulted in a transfer of $739,000 in contracts receivable to
finished goods inventory. As of March 31, 2000, seven of the ten repossessed
machines have been sold. During 1999, the Company was in default on financial
covenants related to a letter of credit reimbursement agreement with its bank.
The letter of credit supports the $4,500,000 industrial development bonds. On
November 3, 1999, the Company received a waiver related to these covenants
extending through December 31, 2000. Management believes that the Company will
be in compliance with the financial covenants by the end of fiscal 2000. The
Company believes that cash provided from operations, and cash balances at March
31, 2000 will be adequate to support its operating and investing requirements
through 2000.

                                YEAR 2000 ISSUES

         The Year 2000 problem concerns the inability of certain computer
systems to appropriately recognize the year 2000 when the last two digits of the
year are entered in the date field. The Company assessed its Year 2000
requirements and determined that its major computer systems, its products, and
capital equipment were Year 2000 compliant. The costs to access Year 2000
compliance were immaterial.

         The Company has not experienced any significant problems or
interruption in operations related to Year 2000 issues.

         The above Year 2000 disclosure constitutes a "Year 2000 Readiness
Disclosure" as defined in The Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act
(the "Act"), which was signed into law on October 19, 1998. The Act provides
added protection from liability for certain public and private statements
concerning a company's Year 2000 readiness.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA ABOUT MARKET RISK

     The Company is exposed to a variety of risks, including foreign currency
fluctuations and changes in interest rates affecting the cost of its debt. A
significant decrease in the exchange rate of Yen versus the U.S. Dollar would
not have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations. The Company's only long-term debt at March 31, 2000 is comprised of
Industrial Development bonds. The bonds mature in December 2005, and interest is
accrued at a variable monthly rate. A significant increase in interest rates
could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
