prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and

financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended March 31, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 1996.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the quarterly information to conform

                                  ====================================

Note C - Net income per Common and Common Equivalent Share

Net income per common and common equivalent share is based on the weighted
average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period,
including common stock equivalents of dilutive stock warrants.

Note D - Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" in accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured
using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse. Deferred tax expense was based on items of income and
expenses that were reported in different years in the financial statements and
tax returns and were measured at the tax rate in effect in the year the
difference originated.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $4,910,000, comprised of
net sales of the Company's TACTech subsidiary of $410,000 and of the Company's
Omnirel subsidiary of $4,500,000. Net sales for the three months ended March 31,
1995 were $5,832,000, comprised of net sales of TACTech of $296,000 and net
sales of Omnirel of $5,536,000.

Omnirel's shipments of General Electric of multi-chip power modules systems
containing power hybrid componentry accounted for 27% of Omnirel's revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 60% for the comparable 1995
quarter. The decline in revenues from General Electric of approximately
$2,100,000 was offset by an increase of 48% (or approximately $1,000,000) in
Omnirel's other business segments during the current reporting period.

Net sales for TACTech increased 39% for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared to the comparable 1995 quarter due principally to an increase of
approximately 25% in the number of subscribers.

Omnirel and TACTech represent 81% and 19% respectively of the Company's
consolidated gross profit which decreased $586,000 during the quarter ended
March 31, 1996 from $2,694,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The
reduction was due largely to the decline in Omnirel's sales volume which
decreased the absorption of overhead thereby increasing its cost of goods sold
by 5.5% as expressed as a percentage of net sales.

PART 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
                AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (Continued)


The selling, general and administrative expenses including depreciation and
amortization of property, plant and equipment decreased $754,000 for the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 from $2,489,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. This
decrease largely is attributed to the following costs and expenses in the third
fiscal quarter of 1995 that did not reoccur in the current quarter: in 1995
there was a charge of $391,000 relating to the termination of a proposed
restructuring of the Company in which stock of TACTech and Omnirel would have
been distributed to shareholders of the Company, and in 1995 the Company also
recorded an increase in depreciation and amortization in the amount of $193,000
due to the reevaluation of the useful life of certain machinery and equipment
owned by Omnirel and acquired by Zing as part of the June 1991 acquisition of
Omnirel.

The backlog of Omnirel as of March 31, 1996 was $9,300,000 of which
approximately 12% represented orders from General Electric as compared to a
backlog of approximately $16,000,000 at March 31, 1995 of which approximately
58% represented orders from General Electric. The backlog from customers other
than General Electric increased approximately 21.5% as of the quarter ending
March 31, 1996 compared to the end of the prior comparable quarter.

Interest and other income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 includes
$237,000 of net earnings on the Company's investment portfolio consisting of
dividend income of $246,000, and a charge of $9,000 for the diminution in value
of the Company's non-current marketable securities. For the quarter ended March
31, 1995, the net earnings on the Company's investment portfolio aggregated
$201,000 consisting of dividend income of $95,000, net realized gains of
$143,000 and $37,000 of unrealized losses on trading securities.

The provision of income taxes expressed as a percentage of income before income
taxes increased to 26% as compared to 19% for the prior comparable quarter due
to the extent of the Company's utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 1995

Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 were $21,419,000, comprised of
net sales of TACTech of $1,183,000 and Omnirel of $20,236,000. Net sales for the
nine months ended March 31, 1995 were $12,786,000, comprised of net sales of
TACTech of $881,000 and net sales of Omnirel of $11,905,000.

The 70% growth of Omnirel's sales was largely as a result of continued
fulfillment of a series of orders placed previously by General Electric for
multi-chip power module systems containing power hybrid componentry. These
orders accounted for 63% of Omnirel's revenue for the nine months ended March
31, 1996 compared to 48% for the comparable 1995 period.

Net sales for TACTech increased 34% for the nine months ended March 31, 1995
compared to the comparable 1995 period due principally to an increase of
approximately 25% in the number of subscribers.

Omnirel and TACTech represent 88% and 12% respectively of the Company's
consolidated gross profit which grew to $9,946,000 during the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 from $5,501,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1995.
Omnirel's cost of goods sold decreased approximately 5% as a percentage of net
sales primarily due to increased sales which increased the absorption of
overhead.

As a result of the increased consolidated revenues, selling and general
administrative expenses decreased approximately 15% of revenues for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 from the comparable 1995 period.

PART 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
                AND RESULTS OF OPERATION (Continued)


The selling, general and administrative expenses including depreciation and
amortization of property, plant and equipment increased to $5,812,000 for the
nine months ending March 31, 1996 which was $475,000 greater than the prior
comparable period. The increases in selling, general and administrative were due
primarily to increases in consolidated management incentive compensation of
$558,000 and an increase in Omnirel's research and development expense of
$444,000. These increases were offset by nonrecurring expenses in the nine
months ending Mach 31, 1995 for corporate restructuring and accelerated
depreciation and amortization expense due to the reevaluation of the useful life
of depreciable assets of approximately $391,000 and $193,000 respectively.

Interest and other income for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 includes
$347,000 of net earnings on the Company's investment portfolio consisting of
dividend income of $667,000, net realized losses of $21,000 and a charge of
$299,000 for the diminution in value of the Company's non-current marketable
securities. For the nine months March 31, 1995, the net earnings on the
Company's investment portfolio aggregated $424,000 consisting of dividend income
of $316,000, net realized gains of $137,000 and $29,000 of unrealized losses on
trading securities.

The provision for income taxes expressed as a percentage of income before income
taxes increased to 32% due to the extent of the Company's utilization of net
operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management expects that its internally generated funds and available bank lines
of credit will be sufficient to finance the continued operations of the Company.
During the third current fiscal quarter of 1995, the Company repurchased 42,100
shares of common stock for approximately $390,000. Subsequent to March 31, 1996,
the Company repurchased an additional 13,000 of its shares for approximately
$125,000.

                    Executive  has  been  President  and  Chief   Executive
          Officer   of  the  Company  since  1985  and  possesses  valuable
          experience, skills and  know-how with respect  to all aspects  of
          the  Company's business.   The  parties  hereto are  party to  an
          Employment Agreement dated  as of June 26, 1991  (the "Employment
          Agreement")  and  desire  to amend  the  Employment  Agreement as
          hereinafter set forth.  The Company desires to continue to employ
          Executive on the terms and conditions set forth in the Employment
          Agreement,  as  amended  hereby,  and  Executive  is  willing  to
          continue such employment on such terms and conditions.

                    It  is therefore  hereby  agreed  by  and  between  the
          parties as follows:

                    1.   Amendments to Employment Agreement.

                         (b)  The "Base  Salary Digit" set forth in Section
          A.1. of Schedule  A to the Employment Agreement,  for purposes of
          calculating the  Executive's Incentive  Bonus, is  hereby amended
          and restated to read as follows:

                         (c)  Section  3.2 of  the Employment  Agreement is
          hereby deleted in  its entirety and Executive shall  no longer be
          entitled to  receive a  Guaranteed Annual  Bonus; provided,  that
          Executive shall be entitled to the Guaranteed Annual Bonus (to be
          paid by Zing) in respect of the Company's fiscal year ending June
          30, 1996.   All references to the term  "Guaranteed Annual Bonus"
          in the Employment  Agreement shall be construed in  light of this
          Section 1(c) so that Executive's sole entitlement with respect to
          any Guaranteed  Annual Bonus in  the event of the  termination of
          the Employment Agreement is with respect to the Guaranteed Annual
          Bonus for the fiscal year  ending June 30, 1996.  Executive,  the
          Company and Zing hereby confirm  the provisions of Section 6.1 of
          the Employment Agreement with  respect to the grant to  Zing of a
          security interest in  all of his right, title and interest in and
          to the remaining Guaranteed Annual Bonus.

                         (d)  The following new Section 3.5 is added at the
          end of Section 3 of the Employment Agreement:

                    "3.5  Notwithstanding  anything  to  the  contrary  set
                    forth in  Section 3.3 above,  and subject to  the other
                    provisions  of this Agreement, in respect of the period
                    commencing on June  27, 1997 and  ending on January  2,
                    1998 (the  "Stub Period"), Executive  shall be entitled
                    to  receive,  in  lieu  of  the  full  Incentive  Bonus
                    calculated in accordance  with Section 3.3, a  pro rata
                    portion of such  bonus determined  by multiplying  such
                    bonus  (calculated in accordance with Section 3.3) by a
                    fraction,  the  numerator  of  which  is  189  and  the
                    denominator of which is 365 (such pro rata portion, the
                    "Stub  Bonus").   The  Stub  Bonus,  if any,  shall  be
                    payable on or prior to April 2, 1998."

                         (e)  Section  7.4 of  the Employment  Agreement is
          hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                    otherwise be entitled hereunder during the term hereof.
                    Executive shall  be obligated,  in such  event, to  use
                    reasonable efforts to mitigate his damages (by seeking,
                    employment with responsibilities comparable to those of
                    Executive  hereunder) with respect  to his  Base Salary
                    and Surviving  Benefits, but  not with  respect to  any
                    remaining Guaranteed Annual Bonus." 

                    2.   Reaffirmation of Employment Agreement.   Except as
                         -------------------------------------
          provided  herein, this  Amendment  No. 1  shall not  constitute a
          waiver or modification of any term, provision or condition of the
          Employment  Agreement;  and  all  terms, conditions,  agreements,
          provisions,  representations  and  warranties  contained  in  the
          Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

                    3.   Governing Law.

                         This   Amendment   No.  1   shall   be  construed,
          interpreted and governed in accordance with the laws of the State
          of New York, without reference  to rules relating to conflicts of
          law.

                    IN  WITNESS  WHEREOF, the  parties  have executed  this
          Amendment No. 1 on January 29, 1996.
