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, 1997 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ended  December  31,  1997.  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, 1996.

2.  Per Share Data:

     Per share  information  for the  quarter  ended  March 31, 1997 is computed
based on the net loss  after  deducting  Series A and Series B  Preferred  Stock
dividends in 1997. The weighted average number of shares outstanding consists of
the common stock. The effect of common stock  equivalents which would arise from
the  exercise  of common  stock  options  and  warrants  outstanding  (using the
treasury  stock  method) and the  conversion  of Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock have not been included for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and March 31,
1996, as their effect is  anti-dilutive.  The weighted  average number of shares
outstanding at March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 were 16,159,440 and 14,147,684,
respectively.

3.  Common Stock:

     On April 10, 1997 the Company  closed on a private  placement  of 4,370,000
shares of its Common Stock with gross proceeds of $1,092,500. The Company agreed
to pay a selling agent a placement fee equal to 5% of the gross  proceeds of the
offering.  In  addition,  the Company  has agreed to issue to the selling  agent
Warrants to purchase Common Stock in a number of shares equal to 5% of the total
number of shares sold in the  offering.  The selling  agent's  Warrants  will be
exercisable  at $0.25 per share (equal to the offering  price of the shares) and
will be  exercisable  for a period of five  years.  The  Company  has  agreed to
register for resale the shares of Common Stock issued in the private  placement,
as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of the selling agent's warrants.

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



     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 forwardlooking 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,
1996, 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  no  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.  The  Company has  attempted  to identify
forward-looking statements contained in this report with an asterisk (*).

Results of Operations:

     Revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $357,000 compared to
$172,000 for the same period  ending  March 31,  1996,  an increase of $185,000.
Revenues in the 1997 quarter from the Company's $1,200,000 contract with LandRay
Technologies,  Inc.  (LandRay),  a joint venture partially owned by the Company,
were $250,000,  or 70% of total revenues,  whereas revenues from a contract from
the U.S. Air Force were $125,000, or 73% of total revenues, in the first quarter
of 1996.  Revenues from other  contracts and products  increased by $60,000 from
the first quarter of 1996.

     The 1997 first quarter loss was  $432,000,  a decrease of $417,000 over the
net loss of  $849,000  recorded in the 1996 first  quarter.  This  decrease  was
attributable to a $247,000 decrease in expenditures,  and a $185,000 increase in
revenues.

     The cost of revenue decreased by $83,000 for the first quarter of 1997 over
the same period in 1996 due to reduced overhead  personnel  expenditures.  Sales
and marketing  expenses decreased by $61,000 from first quarter 1996 as a result
of  reduced  personnel,   consulting,  and  travel  costs,  while  research  and
development  expenses  also  decreased by $64,000.  The 1997 decrease in R&D was
attributable to reduced  expenditures on consulting and other outside  services.
General and administrative  costs also decreased by $39,000 from 1996 levels due
primarily to reduced personnel costs.

     Other income  decreased in the first  quarter of 1997  compared to the same
period of 1996 by $16,000 as a result of lower interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     During the 1997  first  quarter,  cash and cash  equivalents  decreased  by
$514,000  due  primarily  to  the  net  loss  from   operations   and  increased
inventories.  Accounts  receivable  increased  by  $16,000,  or 23%  as  product
shipments increased. Inventories increased by 31%, or $67,000, from December 31,
1996, in  anticipation  of increased  industrial  product  sales.  Other current
assets  decreased by $22,000  primarily due to  expiration of prepaid  insurance
during the period.

     Accounts payable decreased 16% from December 31, 1996, to $135,000 at March
31, 1997 due  primarily to reduced  operating  costs.  The accrued  compensation
expense  balance  decreased  by  $43,000,  a 30%  decrease  over the  balance at
December  31, 1996,  primarily  due to the timing of payroll  expenditures.  The
$54,000  increase in other current  liabilities was due primarily to deferral to
later  periods of the accrued  dividends  on the Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock.

     Backlog  at March  31,  1997,  was  $953,000  of  which  99%  consisted  of
commitments  under the  LandRay  contract as opposed to the March 31, 1996 where
backlog  was  $690,000  of which  88% was  related  to the Air  Force  contract.
Management expects the LandRay contract to be completed by December 31, 1997.*

     On April 10, 1997 the Company  closed on a private  placement  of 4,370,000
shares of its Common Stock with gross proceeds of $1,092,500. The Company agreed
to pay a selling agent a placement fee equal to 5% of the gross  proceeds of the
offering.  In  addition,  the Company  has agreed to issue to the selling  agent
Warrants to purchase Common Stock in a number of shares equal to 5% of the total
number of shares sold in the  offering.  The selling  agent's  Warrants  will be
exercisable  at $0.25 per share (equal to the offering  price of the shares) and
will be  exercisable  for a period of five  years.  The  Company  has  agreed to
register for resale the shares of Common Stock issued in the private  placement,
as well as the shares issuable upon exercise of the selling agent's warrants.

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, 1997.* However,  the actual amount of
time that the  Company's  cash  resources  last is  dependent  upon a variety of
factors  including  the timing of  obtaining  new  contracts,  the timing of new
financings,  the success of its current joint ventures and the competition  with
other vendors. If the Company determines that it requires additional funds prior
to December 31, 1997,  there can be no assurance that  additional  funds will be
obtainable on reasonable  terms, or at all. Any such failure could result in the
Company  becoming  unable to meet its obligations as they come due. In addition,
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.  The  Company  does not
presently have access to any credit facilities.
