related to a discontinued joint venture in China.

5. In April, 1995 in connection with a proposed acquisition
of its imaging subsidiary, SDIS, the Company recorded

Item 2.
            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
      OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had a net loss of $6.7 million ($0.89 per share)
on net sales of $8.0 million for the fiscal quarter ended
April 30, 1995 compared to net income of $68,000 ($0.01 per
share) on net sales of $11.0 million for the same quarter in
the prior year.  The loss was attributable to lower than expected 
sales, $3.9 million write down of certain assets of its imaging
subsidiary, SDIS, to net realizable value in connection with the 
proposed acquisition described below, operating losses incurred
by SDIS and the investment to develop, license and market a line
of interactive MPEG software titles.

On May 16, 1995, SDIS signed a letter of intent granting rights
to purchase SDIS' assets and liabilities to Thomas S. Benson &
Associates, a private investment and management group.  The letter
of intent covers an exclusive period of 60 days during which it is
expected that Benson & Associates will complete due diligence and 
financing arrangements.  At the conclusion of these activities and
the signing of a definitive agreement, it is expected that Benson &
Associates will establish SDIS as a fully independent company, ending
its affiliation with the Company.  This arrangement follows an 
announcement made by the Company in February that it planned to sell
SDIS in order to focus the Company's resources on the development of 
Sigma's MPEG multimedia product line.

Sales of multimedia products represented 82% of net sales as
compared with 61% for the same quarter last year.  Sales of
high-resolution display systems accounted for 16% of net
sales as compared with 13% for the same quarter in the prior
year.  Sales of other products represented 2% of net sales
as compared with 26% for the same period last year. Sales to
one international OEM customer accounted for 11% of total
net sales in the quarter ended April 30, 1995. The Company's
international sales represented 68% of net sales in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 as compared with 39% in the
comparable quarter of the prior year. The increase in
percentage of international sales was due primarily to
stronger market acceptance of the Company's REALmagic
products in Asia as compared to domestic markets.

The Company's gross margin as a percentage of net sales for
the quarter ended April 30, 1995 decreased to 19.0%
(excluding $2.4 million of inventory reserve for SDIS which
was included in the cost of goods sold) from 33.0% in the
same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily
due to lower profit margins from the sales of display
systems and competitive pricing pressures from the sales of
multimedia products.

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $521,000 (27.9%)
as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.
The increase was due to higher advertising, promotion
expenses required to promote REALmagic product line and its
related interactive software titles.   Research and
development expenses decreased by $32,000 (3.2%) as compared
to the same period of the prior year.  The decrease was due
to  reduced research and development efforts on new display
systems.  General and administrative expenses increased by
$128,000 (17.4%) (excluding $1.5 million accounts receivable
reserves for SDIS) as compared to the same corresponding
period of the prior year.  The higher general and
administrative costs reflected the general increase in
operating expenses .

Interest and other income of ($162,000) was  net of a
$220,000 write-off of investment related to a discontinued
joint-venture in China.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company had cash and short term investments of $8.4
million at April 30, 1995, as compared with $ 8.2 million at
January 31, 1995.   The Company's primary sources of funds
to date have been cash generated from operations and
proceeds from  previous stock offerings.  The Company
requires substantial funds to continue to develop the market
for its MPEG technology and to take advantage of the opportunities
in this market.  The Company believes that its current cash and cash 
equivalents, its existing $6.0 million cash-secured line of credit
and a $6.0 million assets secured line of credit will be sufficient
to satisfy its needs until such time as the Company begins to
generate cash from operations.  However, there can be no assurance
that the Company will not require additional financing, or that
required funding will be available on terms acceptable to the 
Company.  In the event that such financing is required by the
Company but cannot be raised on acceptable terms, the Company 
could scale back the levels of investment in the development of
these markets and continue to satisfy its needs with its existing
resources for the next twelve months.
