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

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a 100%
valuation allowance against its deferred income tax assets. This valuation was
based on the 1999 year-to-date loss position and management's belief that it is
more likely than not that the Company will not be able to utilize the benefits
of the deferred tax assets in the future. There was no income tax provision for
the three or six months ended June 30, 2000 due to the utilization of existing
federal and state 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 June 30, 2000 were $5,471,000 compared
to $3,288,000 for the same period in the prior year. The current quarter sales
improvement was due to a 105% increase in machine sales and a 37% increase in
manufacturing services sales over the same quarter in 1999. During the current
period, shipments of the Company's new DataPlace(TM) label placement machine
shipments were equal to the prior quarter ended March 31, 2000. DataPlace
machine sales were made to major OEM and contract manufacturers and included
both repeat and multiple unit orders. The Amistar Manufacturing Services
division (AMS) received increased customer orders related to current products
and for several new products. The increased AMS volume resulted in record sales
for the division in the current quarter.

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

     The machine division gross profit improved over the comparable quarter in
1999 due to the higher margins realized on the DataPlace machines. The AMS
division gross margin improved over the second quarter of 1999 due to an
increase in the more profitable labor billings and due to greater labor
efficiencies.

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

     Selling expenses decreased in the current quarter due to reduced commission
expenses on machines sold on a direct basis compared to 1999, when sales were
made through representatives. Selling expense also decreased due to marketing
and field service expense reductions made in prior periods.

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


General and Administrative Expenses
-----------------------------------

     General and administrative expenses increased in the current quarter over
the same quarter in 1999 due to an incentive compensation accrual for key
personnel.

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

     Research and development expenses decreased due to lower costs incurred on
the DataPlace 100LP machine. Development efforts were focused during the second
quarter of 2000 on enhancements of the DataPlace 100LP machine and the
preliminary development of the next machine in the DataPlace family.

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

     There was no income tax provision for the three or six months ended June
30, 2000 due to the utilization of existing federal and state net operating loss
carry-forwards.

                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash flow from operating activities was $757,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000. Trade accounts and contracts 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 occurred in January 2000 and resulted in a transfer of $739,000 in
contracts receivable to finished goods inventory. As of June 30, 2000, all 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 original financial covenants by the
end of fiscal 2000. The Company is currently in compliance with revised
covenants for the year ended December 31, 2000. The Company believes that cash
provided from operations, and cash balances at June 30, 2000 will be adequate to
support its operating and investing requirements through 2000.


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 a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
results of operations. The Company's only long-term debt at June 30, 2000 is
comprised of Industrial Development bonds. The bonds mature in December 2005,
and accrue interest 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.
