7. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The Company classifies its marketable securities as available-for-sale.
At October 4, 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 nine months ended October 4, 1997, the Company issued 
40,178 shares of Common Stock to certain employees exercising their stock 
options at $3.00 per share.  An additional 5,391 shares and 6,542 shares 
were issued to employees as part of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase 
Plan at $2.66 and $2.76 per share; respectively. In August 1997 a customer 
and affiliate was issued 5,000 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise 
of warrants at $3.00 per share.

9.  NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     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 revised 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 
nine months ended and the third quarter ended October 4, 1997 under SFAS 128
under the basic and diluted earnings methods is not materially different 
than the calculations of EPS under APB 15.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," 
which will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 1998.  SFAS No. 
131 redefines how operating segments are determined and requires disclosure 
of certain financial and descriptive information about a company's operating 
segments.  The Company believes that this statement will not have a material 
impact on results reported in its financial statements.

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which will be effective for the 
Company beginning January 1, 1998.  SFAS No. 130 requires the disclosure of 
comprehensive income and its components in the Company's financial statements.
The Company anticipates the effect of SFAS No. 130 will result in disclosure 
of the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities and unearned 
compensation on stock options on the face of the comprehensive income 
statement.

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

                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
                  OCTOBER 4, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 28, 1996

    Total revenues for the 1997 quarter were $1.62 million, a decrease of 
3% from $1.68 million from the third quarter 1996.  The decrease was due 
to a decline of supplies sales which were partially offset by an increase
in Model 3240 Platesetter sales in the 1997 quarter compared to 1996.

    Model 3240 Platesetter sales included PlateStream sales to the 
Company's dealers and end-user customers.  The decline in supplies sales
was due primarily to consolidation in the check-printing industry.

    The Company's gross margin was $731,000 in the 1997 quarter versus 
$710,000 in the comparable quarter in 1996.  Gross margin as a 
percentage of revenue increased to 45% in the third quarter 1997 from 42%
in third quarter 1996.  The increased margin in 1997 was due primarily 
to a change in product mix from supplies to the higher margin PlateStream 
and model 1440 Platesetter hardware sales.

    Research and development expenses decreased slightly to $215,000 in 
the third quarter 1997 from $220,000 in the third quarter in 1996.  The 
decrease was primarily due to decreased expenses caused by completion 
of the development of the new PlateStream product.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $322,000 
in the third quarter of 1997, up from $228,000 in the third quarter of 
1996. Marketing and sales expenses increased by approximately $112,000 
in the third quarter 1997 primarily due increased advertising and 
exhibition participation.  General and administrative expenses were 
down slightly in the 1997 quarter due primarily to lower professional
services costs in 1997.

    Operating income in the 1997 period was $194,000 or 12% of revenues, 
compared to $262,000 or 16% of revenues in the 1996 period.  The 
decrease was due primarily to higher period costs from investment 
spending on the new PlateStream programs.

    Interest and other income were $194,000 in the 1997 quarter compared 
to $158,000 in the 1996 quarter.  The increase in 1997 was due primarily 
to the increase in cash and investments of over $1.3 million compared 
to the 1996 quarter. This increase was due to the Company's positive 
cash flow from operations.

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

    Net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $388,000, or $.08 per 
common and common equivalent share, down from $405,000 or $.08 per share 
in 1996 as higher margins and investment income partially offset increased
expenses. The income per share remained the same as shares outstanding 
remained about the same.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE 9 MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 4, 1997 and 
SEPTEMBER 28, 1996

    Total revenues for the three quarters of 1997 were $5.40 million or 
slightly less than period in 1996.  The Company had stronger sales of 
the Company's Model 3240 Platesetter and PlateStream model, which were 
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 45%, slightly above the 43% in the 1996 period.  The increase 
was due to higher margins on the new PlateStream sales than the reduced 
supplies sales.

    Research and development expenses for the 1997 period increased 18% 
over the same period in 1996 due primarily to costs incurred to develop 
the new PlateStream, the PunchStream, the PlateStream 46 and new raster 
image processors.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses were 30% higher in 1997
compared to 1996 primarily due to higher marketing and sales investment 
spending associated with the new PlateStream products.

    Operating income in the 1997 period was $758,000 or 14% of revenues,
compared to $1,008,000 or 19% 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 programs in 
1997.

    Interest and other income were $585,000 in the 1997 period compared 
to $237,000 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 continued profitable operations.

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

    Net income for the 1997 period was $1,343,000 or 25% of revenues, 
up 12% from $1,200,000 or 22% of revenues in 1996.  Earnings per share 
were $.27 in the 1997 period versus $.29 per share for the 1996 period.
The slight earnings per share 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 October 4, 1997 compared to 
over 10 to 1 on December 31, 1996.  Working capital was $14.0 million on 
October 4, 1997 compared to $13.0 at December 31, 1996.  Cash, cash 
equivalents and investments increased by approximately $1.16 million at 
October 4, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996, due to the past nine 
months of profitable operations.

    As of October 4, 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.
