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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 ended October 31, 1995
increased by $670,000 or 19% to $4,215,000 from $3,545,000 in the quarter of
fiscal 1995 ended October 31, 1994.  For the first nine months of fiscal 1996,
net sales were $11,028,000 or 20% higher than net sales of $9,166,000 in the
first nine months of fiscal 1995.  The increases were due to continued higher
shipments of the company's core products brought about by a higher shippable
sales backlog at the beginning of each of the quarters this year compared to the
same periods last year.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales remained at 39% in this year's
second quarter from the same period last year.  Cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 38% in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared to
39% in the first nine months of fiscal 1995.  The decrease in the first nine
months reflect the positive effect of the economies of scale resulting from
higher volume production this year compared to last year.  In the third quarter,
these economies were offset by higher revenues derived from lower margin
services.

     Research and development expenses increased by $49,000 to $621,000 in the
third quarter this year compared to $572,000 in the same period last year while
expenses in the first three quarters of this year increased by $294,000 to
$1,623,000 from $1,329,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1995.  The
increases in expenses resulted primarily from the higher capitalization of the
dynamometer control software development costs last year compared to this year
and higher expenses due to additions in personnel this year compared to last
year.

     Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of
fiscal 1996 increased by $240,000 or 21% to $1,357,000 compared to the same
period a year ago.  Expenses in the first nine months of this year increased by
$604,000 to $3,918,000 from $3,3,14,000 last year. As a percentage of sales,
however, expenses remained unchanged at 32% in this year's third quarter
compared to last year's second quarter, and at 36% in the first nine months of
this year from the same period last year.  The increases were principally due to
higher expenses associated with a major trade show, higher sales expenses and
increased legal expenses associated with a strategic alliance formation.

     Net interest income was $32,000 in this year's third quarter compared to
$15,000 last year and $95,000 in the first nine months versus $36,000 in the
same period last year.  Higher interest incomes reflect higher available cash
invested in interest-bearing accounts this year compared to the same period last
year.

     The effective tax rates computed were 39% for the third quarter and for the
first nine months this year compared to 40% for the third quarter and first nine
months last year, respectively.  The company reviews the tax rate quarterly and
could make minor adjustments to reflect changing estimates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash and certificates of deposits increased by $1,009,000
during the nine month period ended October 31, 1995.  The primary use of the
Company's cash in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 has been the purchase of
capital equipment used to equip additional personnel and to fund new software
product development.

     Working capital at October 31, 1995 was $5,140,000 compared to $4,190,000
at the beginning of the fiscal year, while the current ratios stood at 3.2 to
1.0 at October 31, 1995 and at 2.8 to 1.0 at January 31, 1995.  The Company has
a $1,000,000 secured bank line of credit.


                                        7

<PAGE>

     Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that the
liquidity provided by cash generated from operations, its existing cash and
short-term investments and the borrowing arrangements described above, will be
sufficient to meet the Company's operating and capital requirements for fiscal
1996.

     At October 31, 1995, the Company had no material outstanding commitments to
purchase capital equipment.  Management believes that inflation has not had a
material effect on the Company's operations or financial condition.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

     Large system orders represent an increasingly large percentage of the
Company's sales.  Also, sales of such systems have been concentrated in a
relatively small number of customers.  The Company did not receive a large
system order in the first nine months this year while last year, the first nine
months sales and orders benefited from receipt of two major system contracts
totaling approximately $3.6 million which were delayed from the previous year.
Hence, the Company's operating results may fluctuate, especially when measured
on a quarterly basis as a result of the timing of receipt of major system
orders.

     The Company's future operating results may also be affected by a number of
factors, including: its ability to introduce new products and enhancements for
its customers as demands for increasingly sophisticated measurement and control
systems continue; uncertainties relative to global economic conditions; the
company's ability to withstand competition particularly from several companies
that are much larger in size than the Company; natural disasters, particularly
earthquakes which may strike the California area where the Company's
headquarters and manufacturing facility are located; and availability and cost
of components for its products.
