        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)      GENERAL INFORMATION
     
The consolidated condensed financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed 
or omitted  pursuant to such rules and regulations.  Although the Registrant 
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make information presented not 
misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated condensed financial 
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements 
and notes thereto included in the Registrant's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only a normal and
recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
Registrant as of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

(3) During February 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of Labsphere,
    Inc. ("Labsphere") by acquiring 100% of its outstanding stock for
    $11,500,000.  Labsphere, with 1994 sales of over $6,900,000, manufactures
    products which measure color and light through transmission and reflectance
    technology.  The acquisition, which was accounted for under the purchase
    method, was financed out of short-term investments.













ITEM 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
           Financial Condition and Results of Operations

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

First quarter 1995 results include sales of $1,213,000 attributable to 
Labsphere, Inc. a subsidiary company acquired during the quarter.  The effect
on earnings was not material.

Net sales of $17,946,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased 
45.3 percent compared with sales of $12,353,000 for the same period of 1994. 
Increased sales  are a result of increased unit volume, rather than price
increases, to all the markets served by the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 1995, gross margin of 69.7 percent 
increased over the 68.8 percent for the same period of 1994.   Product mix,
volume, as well as manufacturing efficiencies, contributed to this increase.

Comparative consolidated total selling, research and development, and general 
and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, are as follows:

<TABLE>
                                                 Total               % of
                                                 Expenses            Sales
   <S>                                           <C>                 <C>

   Quarter ended March 31, 1995                  $7,712,000          42.9%
   Quarter ended March 31, 1994                  $4,750,000          38.5%

</TABLE>

Expense increased $2,962,000 for the first three months of 1995, compared with
the same period of 1994.  This increase is a result of additional marketing
staffing and promotional costs associated with new product introductions. 

Other income of $90,000 decreased from the prior year level of $127,000 
primarily as a result of a reduction in funds available for investment.

Net income of $3,303,000 increased 28.1 percent over net income of $2,578,000 
for first quarter 1994 as a result of increased sales and gross profit.

Earnings per share of 16 cents increased 33.3 percent over the 12 cents for the
same period last year, based on 21,156,000 and 21,046,000 average common shares
and common stock equivalents outstanding, respectively.






















FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Working capital at March 31, 1995, was $26,953,000 compared with $36,573,000 at
December 31, 1994.  This decrease is a result of a reduction in cash and 
short-term investments used for the acquisition of Labsphere, Inc.

The Company expects to spend approximately $6,000,000 for fixed assets in 1995. 
Approximately $823,000 has been spent for the three months ended March 31, 
1995. Capital expenditures will be funded from operations and working capital.

The Company has available a $20,000,000 line of credit with a local bank,
providing for borrowings with interest at 1.5 percent of the "Effective Federal
Funds Rate."  The borrowings are unsecured and no compensating balances are
required by the agreement.  There were no borrowings under this agreement in 
the three months ended March 31, 1995.
