(Unaudited)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information
which management believes is relevant to an assessment and
understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial
condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
a. Results of Operations
Net sales for the quarter ended January 31, 1997 were
$1,623,000 as compared to net sales of $1,608,000 for the quarter ended
January 31, 1996. The cost of sales was 51% as compared to 45% for the
comparable 1996 period. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage
of net sales for the three months ended January 31, 1997 is due to
increase materials costs and the hiring of additional personnel in
order to reduce backlog and improve delivery time.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended January 31, 1997 were $800,000 as compared to $777,000 for
the same 1996 period. The increase represents normal salary
adjustments, opening of Mikron Japan office in Tokyo and rental expense
for the new location.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended
January 31, 1997 were $168,000 as compared to $113,000 for the quarter
ended January 31, 1996. The increase is attributable to the Company's
efforts to develop new infrared thermometers and the hiring new people
for the research and development department.
Other income for the three month period ended January 31, 1997
was $31,700. This represents $31,300 of royalty income and $400 of
investment income.
b. Material Change in Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital decreased from $3,115,000 at
October 31, 1996 to $2,980,000 at January 31, 1997.
At January 31, 1997, the Company's capital resources and its
sources of liquidity was $276,000 in cash and cash equivalents.
Management does not believe that a return of inflation will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations because it
believes that the Company will be able to increase its selling prices
to reflect most increases in its cost.
