                                 August 31, 1996




NOTE A:   The attached  summarized  financial  information  does not include all
          disclosures  required to be included  in a complete  set of  financial
          statements  prepared in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
          principles.   Such   disclosures  were  included  with  the  financial
          statements of the Company at February 29, 1996, included in its report
          on Form 10-K. Such statements  should be read in conjunction  with the
          data herein.


NOTE B:   The  financial  information  reflects all  adjustments  which,  in the
          opinion of management,  are necessary for a fair  presentation  of the
          results for the interim  periods.  The results for the interim periods
          are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the
          year.


NOTE C:   Inventory at August 31, 1996 is comprised of:


             Finished goods                               $105,428
             Work in process                               118,106
             Raw materials and subassemblies               264,520

NOTE D:   Income  per share is based on the  weighted  average  number of shares
          outstanding  during each period.  The computation does not include the
          effect of outstanding  stock options or conversion of the subordinated
          promissory notes since their inclusion would be either not material or
          anti-dilutive.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

         The Company's sales increased $152,190 to $1,501,698 for the six months
ended August 31, 1996 as compared to $1,349,508  for the six months ended August
31,  1995.  The  increase  was  primarily  a result  of  increased  sales of the
Company's  SonoFlux  Systems.  Sales  of this  product  increased  approximately
$157,000,  while sales of the Company's Nozzle Systems  decreased  approximately
$5,000. For the three months ended August 31, 1996 the Company's sales increased
$136,512 to $750,061 as compared to sales of $613,549 for the three months ended
August 31, 1995.  During this period  sales of the  Company's  SonoFlux  Systems
increased  approximately  $129,000  and sales of the  Company's  Nozzle  Systems
increased  approximately  $7,000 as  compared to the three  month  period  ended
August 31, 1995.  The  increase in sales of the  Company's  SonoFlux  Systems is
believed to be the result of increased acceptance by the electronics industry of
the Company's newest version of the SonoFlux, the "9500".

         The Company's gross profit decreased  $19,708 from $781,490 for the six
month  period  ended  August 31, 1995 to $761,782 for the six month period ended
August 31, 1996, and increased  $13,017 from $376,742 for the three months ended
August 31, 1995 to $389,759 for the three  months  ended  August 31, 1996.  As a
percent of sales,  gross  profit  decreased  from 58% for the six  months  ended
August 31, 1995 to 51% for the six months ended August 31, 1996,  and  decreased
from 61% for the three  months ended August 31, 1995 to 52% for the three months
ended August 31, 1996.  For both the six and three month periods the decrease in
gross profit  percentage  is attributed to an increase in the cost of materials,
an increase  in  discounted  sales to OEM's and a  cumulative  reduction  of the
reserve for  warranty  costs taken  during both the six and three month  periods
ended  August 31, 1995 which  resulted in an increase in gross  profit for those
periods.

         Research and product  development costs decreased $12,166 from $196,797
for the six months  ended  August 31, 1995 to $184,631  for the six months ended
August 31, 1996 primarily as a result of decreased  consulting  costs associated
with the development of the "SonoFlux 9500".

         Marketing and selling costs decreased $18,335 from $326,567 for the six
months  ended  August 31, 1995 to $308,232  for the six months  ended August 31,
1996 primarily as a result of a decrease in compensation  costs during the three
months ended May 31, 1996.

         General and administrative costs increased $24,140 from $79,722 for the
three month  period ended August 31, 1995 to $103,862 for the three month period
ended August 31, 1996.

These costs were lower  during the three month period ended August 31, 1995 as a
result of a reduction in the Company's bad debt reserve.

         Interest  and other income  decreased  $32,914 from $32,933 for the six
month  period  ended  August 31, 1995 to $19 for the six months ended August 31,
1996. During the six month period ended August 31, 1995 the Company had received
funding from SEMATECH for work performed under the terms of a joint  development
agreement.  SEMATECH is a consortium of U.S. semiconductor manufacturers and has
provided the Company with funds for the development of a photoresist application
system, or "Wafer Coating System".

         For the six months  ended  August 31, 1996 the Company had  earnings of
$45,024 or $0.01 per share as  compared to earnings of $65,394 or $.02 per share
for the six months ended August 31, 1995.  For the three months ended August 31,
1996,  the  Company  had  earnings  of $23,868 or $.01 per share as  compared to
earnings  of $38,368  or $.01 per share for the three  months  ended  August 31,
1995. The decrease in earnings for both the six and three month periods resulted
primarily  from an increase in materials  costs,  and a decrease in other income
from SEMATECH.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         The Company's  working capital  increased $20,618 to $333,429 at August
31, 1996 as compared to working  capital of $312,811 at February 29,  1996.  The
increase in working capital was primarily a result of profitable operations.

         On August 15, 1997 the Company's Convertible Secured Subordinated Notes
mature.  The Company will experience  substantial  difficulties in meeting these
obligations  unless the level of profitability  improves  substantially over the
next twelve months or unless the Noteholders agree to extend the repayment terms
of this debt.  There can be no assurance that such  extensions can be negotiated
or that such  extensions  will be on terms as  favorable to the Company as those
presently in effect.
