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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 (three months ended April
30, 1996) increased by 18% to $3,775,000 from $3,211,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 (three months ended April 30, 1995).  The Transportation Group's
RedLine products, which remain the Company's largest product line led the
increase in first quarter sales this year compared to last year's first quarter.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 41% in this year's
first quarter compared to 39% in the first quarter last year.  The increase is a
result of the addition of new service personnel in anticipation of future
growth.  These service personnel are responsible for customizing our products to
customers' specific requirements.  In addition, they install and commission the
Company's systems in the field.

     Research and development expenses increased by $39,000 or 9% in the first
quarter this year to $496,000 compared to the same period a year ago.  The
increase in expenses is primarily due to the ramp up of joint new product
development with FEV, the Company's strategic ally in Germany and offset by
higher capitalization of software development costs in this year's first
quarter.

     Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 increased by $205,000 or 16% to $1,475,000 from $1,270,000 in the
same quarter last year.  As a percentage of sales, however, expenses remained at
the 39-40% level in both quarters.  The increase in expenses was primarily due
to the addition of new sales and marketing personnel.  The Company's strategy is
to add these new personnel to help deal with the current and future increase in
sales activity level.

     Net interest income was $42,000 compared to $32,000 in the first quarter
last year.  The increase reflected higher cash balances invested in interest
bearing accounts with higher interest rates this year compared to last year.

     The effective tax rate computed for the first quarter this year was 35%
compared to 38% in last year's first quarter.  The lower tax rate is
attributable to increase in profit contribution from our United Kingdom
subsidiary which enjoys a lower overall tax rate than our US operations.  The
Company reviews the tax rate quarterly and could make minor adjustments to
reflect changing estimates.

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 received a large system order
in the first quarter this year while last year, there was no large system order
placed.  A little under half of the large system order received this year is not
shippable in the current fiscal 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.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
     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 stike the California area where the Company's headquarters
and manufacturing facility are located; and availability and cost of components
for its products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $382,000 during the quarter ended
April 30, 1996, to $1,434,000.  The decrease was due primarily to the Company's:
a) purchases of equipment for additional personnel and to upgrade our
information systems capabilities, and b) investment in software development.
The Company's working capital, also, decreased slightly to $5,317,000 at April
30, 1996 compared to $5,472,000 at January 31, 1996.  Notwithstanding, current
ratio remained strong at 3.4 to 1 at April 30, 1996 from 3.2 to 1.0 at January
31, 1996.  At April 30, 1996, the Company has $1,000,000 secured bank line of
credit.  The Company currently anticipates that internally generated funds and
bank borrowings will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated operating and
capital needs over the foreseeable future.

     At April 30, 1996, 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 and financial condition.
