                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                JANUARY 31, 2000

                                   (Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and
should be read in conjunction with the Company's October 31, 1999 Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments consisting of only
normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present a fair statement of financial position as of January 31, 2000 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the period then ended. Results of
operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

2.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Standards Accounting Board issued Statement on
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS No. 128) which
became effective for both interim and annual financial statements for the
periods ending December 15, 1997. FAS No. 128 requires a presentation of "basic"
and (where applicable) "diluted" earnings per share. Generally, basic earnings
per share are computed on only the weighted average number of common shares
actually outstanding during the period and the diluted computation considers
potential shares issuable upon exercise or conversion of other outstanding
instruments where dilution would result. Furthermore, FAS No. 128 requires the
restatement of the prior period reported earnings to conform to the new standard


                                                                               6

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

      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.

Results of Operations

      Net sales for the three months ended January 31, 2000 was $2,485,000 as
compared to net sales of $1,705,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1999.
The 46% increase is due to two factors. First, a $300,000 specially ordered
thermal imaging system shipped in January 2000. Second, the Model TH5104, a
portable thermal imager, has gained market acceptance and demand for the product
continues to grow. The Company's order backlog as of January 31, 2000 was
$1,150,206. The cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the quarter ended
January 31, 2000 remained unchanged from the same period last year at 48%.

      Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
January 31, 2000 was $910,000 as compared to $826,000 for the same period ending
January 31, 1999. The increase of 10% was due to the increase in salaries
resulting from the addition of new senior management

      Research and development expenses for the three months ended January 31,
2000 were $240,000 as compared to $173,000 for the same period last year. The
increase of 39% was primarily due to the addition of three new engineers through
the Texas Infared acquisition in October 1999. In addition, developmental
expenses for the new products increased by $20,000 over the same period last
year.

      Royalty income for the three months ended January 31, 2000 was $46,000 as
compared to $28,000 for the three months ended January 31, 1999. The increase is
due to greater sales of products by third parties which incorporate technologies
licensed by the Company to them over the sales of such products made by those
third parties during the same period of fiscal 1999..

      Net income was $212,000, or $.05 per share, for the three months ended
January 31, 2000 as compared to a net loss of $79,000, or $(.02) per share, for
the three months ended January 31, 1999. The increase is due to the 46% rise in
net sales. The Company has loss carryforwards relating to fiscal year end 1999
and prior years. By reason thereof, no provisions for income taxes were made.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At January 31, 2000, the Company's liquidity position was $1,234,000 in
cash and short term investments and $1,347,000 in trade accounts receivable. The
40% increase in accounts receivable over the October 31 1999 amount is the
result of record sales volume in January 2000.


                                                                               7

The Company's working capital increased 6.5% from $3,714,000 at October 31, 1999
to $3,956,000 at January 31, 2000. That increase was a direct result of the
increase in trade accounts receivable.


                                                                               8
