                                 March 31, 1996

1.  Basis for Presentation

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  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 three-month period ended March 31, 1996, are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  December  31,  1996.  For  further  information,  refer to the  financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.  Per Share Data

         Per share information for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, is computed
based on the net loss  after  deducting  Series A and Series B  preferred  stock
dividends in 1996. The weighted  average number of shares  outstanding  consists
solely of common stock. The effect of common stock equivalents which would arise
from the exercise of common stock options  outstanding (using the treasury stock
method) and the  conversion  of Series A and Series B  preferred  stock have not
been  included  for the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1996,  as their  effect  is
anti-dilutive.  The weighted  average number of shares  outstanding at March 31,
1996 is 14,147,684.

         Per share information for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, is computed
based on the net loss  after  deducting  Series A and Series B  preferred  stock
dividends in 1995. The weighted  average number of shares  outstanding  consists
solely of common stock. The effect of common stock equivalents which would arise
from the exercise of common stock options  outstanding (using the treasury stock
method) and the  conversion  of Series A and Series B  preferred  stock have not
been  included  for the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1995,  as their  effect  is
anti-dilutive.  The weighted  average number of shares  outstanding at March 31,
1995 was 10,061,220.

3.  Common Stock

         In August 1995 the Company  initiated a private placement of its common
stock  with  a  maximum  gross  proceeds  to be  raised  from  the  offering  of
$6,000,000.  The  placement  closed at March 29,  1996.  Gross  proceeds  raised
through December 31, 1995 were $3,694,000,  and gross proceeds through March 31,
1996 were $5,960,000.

         The Company issued units in lieu of single shares of common stock. Each
unit consists of one share of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant
(the "units").  Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of a share
of common  stock and is  exercisable  for ten  years  from the date of  original
issuance of the warrants at the initial  closing of the private  placement ( the
"original issuance date"),  subject to two vesting  conditions  described below.
Two  warrants  are  required to purchase  one share.  The units were  offered to
accredited investors only and were offered at $1.10 per unit (the "unit offering
price"). There was no minimum offering amount.

                                 March 31, 1996

         The  warrants,  which were  issued as a  component  of the  units,  are
exercisable  only under the  following  circumstances  and only to the following
extent:

         (i) 50% of the  total  number of  warrants  held by the  investor  will
become  exercisable  if, within three years of the original  issuance  date, the
Company  issues  common stock or securities  convertible  into common stock at a
price below the unit offering price.  The exercise price of such warrants vested
in accordance  with this paragraph (i) will be equal to the price offered to the
investors in the subsequent financing.

         (ii) 50% of the total  number of  warrants  held by the  investor  will
become  exercisable  if,  within two years of the original  issuance  date,  the
Company's  common stock is not quoted on the NASDAQ  SmallCap Market (or, at the
Company's sole discretion,  the NASDAQ National  Market).  The exercise price of
such warrants vested in accordance with this paragraph (ii) will be equal to the
unit offering price.

         The Company has further  agreed that, for three years from the original
issuance  date, it will not grant any stock options under its existing or future
stock  option  plans at an  exercise  price less than 110% of the unit  offering
price.  This plan  provision may only be amended or rescinded by the approval of
the outstanding shareholders.

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                       Condition and Results of Operations


Except  for  historical  information  contained  herein,  this  Report  contains
forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of  1933  and  Section  21E of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934.  The
forward-looking  statements  contained  herein are subject to certain  risks and
uncertainties,  including  those  discussed  herein and in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal  year ended  December  31,  1995,  that could
cause actual  results to differ  materially  from those  projected or discussed.
Investors  are cautioned  not to place undue  reliance on these  forward-looking
statements,  which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The
Company undertakes on obligation to publicly release the results of any revision
to these  forward-looking  statements  that  may be made to  reflect  events  or
circumstances   after  the  date  hereof  or  to  reflect  the   occurrence   of
unanticipated events.

Results of Operations:

         Revenue for the first  quarter  ended  March 31,  1996,  was  $172,000,
compared to $467,000  for the same period  ended March 31,  1995,  a decrease of
$295,000.  Revenues  from the  Company's  contract  with  the Air  Force in 1996
decreased by $224,000 for the first quarter of the year, over the same period of
1995. Revenues from other contracts and products decreased on a period-to-period
comparison by $73,000.

         The 1996 first quarter net loss was  $849,000,  an increase of $344,000
over the net loss of $505,000 recorded in the 1995 first quarter. This increased
loss was due primarily to the decrease in revenue  under the Air Force  contract
during the period.

         The cost of revenues  decreased by $8,000 for the first quarter of 1996
over the same period in 1995 due to decreased sales volume. Although the cost of
revenues  decreased,  overhead  costs  could  not be  decreased  proportionately
without the loss of essential skills,  expertise,  and capabilities required for
effective and efficient  operations as the Company continues its transition from
research and development of laboratory  hardware to application  specific design
and testing.  Sales and  marketing  increased  by $4,000 for the first  quarter,
compared to the same period in 1995, due primarily to continued expansion of the
Company's marketing efforts to meet changing marketing conditions.  Reflecting a
renewed emphasis on research and development,  research and development  expense
increased  by $53,000  for the first three  months of 1996  compared to the same
period in 1995, as consultants and outside  services were  increasingly  used to
provide  essential  services  and  expertise in Company  sponsored  research and
development  efforts.  General and administrative  expenses increased by $19,000
for the 1996 first quarter due to increased personnel costs compared to the same
period in 1995.

                Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                 Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

         During the 1996 first quarter,  cash and cash equivalents  increased by
$1,437,000 due to the private placement of the Company's common stock, partially
offset  by the net  loss  from  operations.  Accounts  receivable  decreased  by
$165,000  as a result  of  decreased  revenues  under  the Air  Force  Contract.
Unbilled  receivables  increased by $8,000 as progress  billings  were  withheld
pending approval of new government overhead billing rates. Inventories increased
by 21% or $26,000  from  December  31,  1995,  in  preparation  for  anticipated
increased  industrial  activity.  Other  current  assets  decreased  by $46,000,
primarily due to the expiration of prepaid insurance and rent during the period.

         Accounts  payable  decreased 45% from December 31, 1995, to $111,000 at
March 31,  1996,  due  primarily to the timing of vendor  payments.  The accrued
compensation  expense balance decreased $28,000, a 16% decrease over the balance
at December 31, 1995, primarily due to the timing of payroll  expenditures.  The
$224,000  increase  in other  current  liabilities  was due to  financing  costs
payable of $226,000 as a result of the private placement of $2,266,000 of common
stock in the first quarter of 1996.

         Backlog at March 31, 1996, was $690,000, of which 88% is made up of the
Air Force contract.  The Air Force contract is currently  scheduled to expire on
June 1, 1996.

Factors Affecting Future Results:

         The Company's  current cash position,  together with  anticipated  cash
flows from operations, is expected by management to be sufficient to finance the
Company's  operations through December 31, 1996.  However, if the Company is not
successful in replacing the revenue and cash  generated by the United States Air
Force contract,  the Company,  as presently sized,  would continue to experience
significant  operating  losses and significant  negative cash flow, and would be
required to significantly reduce its operations.

         The Company's  growth  strategy  includes the successful  completion of
products  under  development,  development  of  new  product  applications,  and
development of marketing strategies.

         The Company must  continue to seek and obtain other  sources of revenue
to continue operations.  The Company continues its efforts to seek new strategic
partners  or joint  ventures.  There can,  however,  be no  assurances  that the
Company will be able to  successfully  enter into suitable  partnership or joint
venture arrangements, or that such arrangements would prove to be beneficial for
the Company and its shareholders.
