7.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES
     The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale.
At July 5, 1997 and December 31, 1996, securities available-for-sale are 
carried at fair value with the net unrealized holding gain or loss included 
in shareholders' equity.

8.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
     During the six months ended July 5, 1997, the Company issued 2,412 
shares of Common Stock to certain employees exercising their stock options 
at $3.00 per share and an additional 5,391 shares to employees as part of 
the Company's Stock Purchase Plan at $2.66 per share.

9.  EARNINGS PER SHARE
     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128) "Earnings 
per Share," which is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
SFAS 128 revises the standards for computing and presenting earnings per 
share (EPS).  The Company will continue to apply APB Opinion No. 15 to 
compute the EPS through the effective date.  The calculation EPS for the 
six months ended and the second quarter ended July 5, 1997 under SFAS 128 
under the basic and diluted earnings methods is not materially different 
than the calculations of EPS under APB 15.

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

                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 
                       JULY 5, 1997 AND JUNE 29, 1996

    Total revenues for the 1997 quarter were $1.93 million, an increase of
1% over those of second quarter 1996 which were $1.90 million.  The increase
was due to an increase in Model 3240 Platesetter sales which was essentially 
offset by a decline of supplies sales in the 1997 quarter compared to 1996.

    Model 3240 Platesetter sales included sales to the Company's OEM 
customer and sales of the new PlateStream model.  The decline in supplies 
sales was due to consolidation in the check printing industry.

    The Company's gross margin was $871,000 in the second quarter 1997 
versus $894,000 in the comparable quarter in 1996.  Gross margin as a 
percentage of revenue decreased from 47% in the second quarter 1996 to 45% 
in second quarter 1997.  The decreased margin in 1997 was due primarily to 
a change in product mix from supplies to the lower margin Model 3240 
Platesetter.

    Research and development expenses increased to $250,000 in the second 
quarter 1997 from $174,000 in the second quarter in 1996.  The increase 
was primarily due to increased expenses associated with the development of
the new PlateStream product.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were $322,000 in the 
second quarter of 1997 up from $280,000 in the second quarter of 1996.  
Marketing and sales expenses increased by approximately $57,000 in the 
second quarter 1997 primarily due to the hiring of a new sales manager for 
the PlateStream product, and to increased advertising and exhibition 
participation.  General and administrative expenses were down slightly in 
the 1997 quarter due primarily to costs associated with preparation of 
going public in 1996.

    Operating income in the 1997 period was $299,000 or 16% of revenues, 
compared to $440,000 or 23% of revenues in the 1996 period.  The decrease 
was due to higher period costs from investment spending on the new 
PlateStream program in 1997, more than offsetting the slightly higher 
revenues.

    Interest and other income were $196,000 in the 1997 quarter compared 
to $23,000 in the 1996 quarter.  The increase in 1997 was due primarily 
to the 1997 quarter's increase in cash and investments of over $8.1 million 
compared to the 1996 quarter.  This was largely due to the $6.4 million from 
the Company's initial public offering, with the remainder from the Company's 
positive cash flow from operations.

    The Company's income tax expense primarily consists of minimum taxes 
due, offset by net operating loss carryforwards. 

    Net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $495,000, or $.10 per 
common and common equivalent share, up from $464,000 or $.13 per share in 
1996 as higher margins and investment income offset increased expenses.  
The income per share decreased due to the increased shares outstanding due 
to the initial public offering of 1.2 million shares on July 2, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 6 MONTHS ENDED JULY 5, 1997 and JUNE 29, 1996

    Total revenues for the first half of 1997 were $3.77 million or an 
increase of 1% from 1996.  The increase in 1997 revenues versus the year-ago 
period was because the Company had stronger sales of the Company's Model 
3240 Platesetter and PlateStream model, which were essentially offset by 
decreased supplies sales due to consolidation in the check-printing industry.

    The Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenue in the 1997 
period was 44%, essentially unchanged from 43% in the 1996 period.

    Research and development expenses for the 1997 period increased 31% 
over the same period in 1996 due primarily to costs incurred to develop the 
new PlateStream product.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were 25% higher in 1997
compared to 1996 primarily due to higher marketing and sales costs 
associated with the new PlateStream product.

    Operating income in the 1997 period was $564,000 or 15% of revenues,
compared to $744,000 or 20% of revenues in the 1996 period.  The decrease 
was due primarily to investment spending on research and development and 
in marketing and sales on the PlateStream program in 1997.

    Interest and other income were $391,000 in the 1997 period compared 
to $81,000 in the 1996 period.  The increase in 1997 is due primarily to 
an increase in cash and investments from the initial public offering in 
July, 1996 and to profitable operations.

    The Company's income tax expense consists of minimum taxes due, 
offset by the net operating loss carryforwards.

    Net income for the 1997 period was $955,000 or 25% of revenues, up 4% 
from $795,000 or 21% of revenues in 1996.  Earnings per share were $.20 in 
the 1997 period versus $.21 per share for the 1996 period.  The slight 
decrease is due to the increased outstanding shares from the initial 
public offering in July, 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The current ratio was over 16 to 1 on July 5, 1997 compared to over 
10 to 1 on December 31, 1996.  Working capital was $14.0 million on 
July 5, 1997 compared to $13.0 at December 31, 1996.  Cash, cash equivalents
and investments increased by approximately $600,000 at July 5, 1997 compared 
to December 31, 1996, due to the past six months of profitable operations.

    As of July 5, 1997 the Company has no material commitments which would 
result in a significant cash outflows other than purchases of inventory in 
the normal course of business.
