1.   Basis of Presentation.
     --------------------- 

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared,
     without audit, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
     requirements for interim financial statements.  Therefore, they do not
     include all the disclosures that would be presented in the Company's Annual
     Report on Form 10-K.  The financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's January 31, 1996 financial statements and
     accompanying notes thereto.

     The information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting only of
     normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
     operations and cash flows for the interim period.  The results of
     operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of
     results to be expected for the full year.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------

     This section of the report contains forward-looking statements regarding
the Company's expected growth and enhanced future performance.  All forward-
looking statements are subject to risk and actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
many factors which are set forth below.

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

     Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1997 ended July 31, 1996
increased by $809,000 or 22% to $4,411,000 from $3,602,000 in the second quarter
of fiscal 1996 ended July 31, 1995.  Net sales for the first six months of
fiscal 1997 were $8,186,000 or 20% higher than net sales of $6,813,000 in the
first six months of fiscal 1996.  The increases were due to continued strong
demand for the company's RedLine test cell products.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 43% in this year's
second quarter from 37% in the same period last year.  Cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales also increased to 42% in the first half of fiscal 1997
compared to 38% in the first half of fiscal 1996.  The increases primarily
reflect the expansion of the service staff to increase the company's capacity to
build, install and commission RedLine products.  These new personnel were
brought on-board ahead of time to support expected growth in this area.

     Research and development expenses increased by $28,000 to $573,000 in the
second quarter this year compared to $545,000 in the same period last year while
expenses in the first half of this year increased by $67,000 to $1,069,000 from
$1,002,000 in the first half of fiscal 1996.  The slight increases in expenses
resulted primarily from 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 half.

     Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 increased by $356,000 or 28% to $1,647,000 compared to the same
period a year ago.  Expenses in the first six months of this year increased by
$561,000 to $3,122,000 from $2,561,000 last year. As a percentage of sales,
however, expenses remained consistent with last year's expenses for both the
second quarter and first half of the year.  The higher expenses were principally
due to the addition of new sales and marketing personnel to help deal with the
current and expected future increase in sales activity level.

     Net interest income was $40,000 in this year's second quarter compared to
$31,000 last year and $82,000 in the first half compared to $63,000 in the same
period last year.  Higher interest incomes reflect higher available cash
invested in interest-bearing accounts at higher interest rates this year
compared to the same period last year.

     The effective tax rate computed were 31% for the second quarter and 33% for
the first half this year compared to 39% and 38% for the second quarter and
first half last year, respectively.  The lower tax rates this year reflect the
increased profit contributions of the company's UK subsidiary which benefits
from a lower tax rate.  The company reviews the tax rate quarterly and could
make minor adjustments to reflect changing estimates.

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

     Cash decreased by $1,148,000 during the six month period ended July 31,
1996.  The decrease was due to the increase in accounts receivable brought about
by high shipments in the last month of the period.  The primary use of the
Company's cash in the first half of fiscal 1996 has been: a) the purchase of
capital equipment used to equip additional personnel and to upgrade our
information systems capabilities, and b) investment in software development.

     Working capital at July 31, 1996 was $5,399,000 compared to $5,472,000 at
the beginning of the fiscal year, while the current ratios stood at 2.7 to 1.0
at July 31, 1996 and at 3.2 to 1.0 at January 31, 1996.  At July 31, 1996, the
Company has a $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 July 31, 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 or financial condition.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------
 
     The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of
factors, including: its ability to successfully introduce new products, services
and enhancements for its customers as demands for increasingly sophisticated
measurement and control systems and turnkey solutions continue; timing of
receipt of major system orders; product mix; 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.
 
     At the end of last fiscal year, management made a strategic decision to
focus on the services side of our transportation market business.  These
services include systems integration, project management, commissioning and
installation and coupled with our RedLine products, will allow us to fuel our
growth in the transportation market by providing one stop shopping to our
customers.  These services provide us the capability to provide turnkey systems
where they are required.  Hence, we have invested in system integration,
installation and commissioning staff during the first half of the year.
However, the introduction of these services raises several risk factors.
Specifically, the success depends on the time it takes for these personnel and
future staff to come up to speed on our products, customers and the services
they will provide; market acceptance of the services and pricing; and efficient
use of these resources.
