                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                November 30, 1995

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 28, 1995, 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 November 30, 1995 is comprised of:


                     Finished goods                           $ 98,283
                     Work in process                           134,258
                     Raw materials and subassemblies           260,335
                                                              --------
                               Total                          $492,876


NOTE D:              The  Company  has  adopted  FASB  Statement  no. 109  which
                     became  effective  for the Fiscal Year Ended  February  28,
                     1994.  Accordingly,  under the provision of Statement  109,
                     the  income  tax  benefit  of the loss for the nine  months
                     ended  November  30,  1994 was offset by an increase in the
                     valuation allowance.

NOTE E:              Income (loss) 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.


NOTE F:              The  financial  statements  for  fiscal  1995   have   been
                     prepared  under  the  assumption   that  the  Company  will
                     continue as a going concern. During the year ended February
                     1995  the  Company   incurred  a   significant   loss  from
                     operations.

                     At  February  28,  1995  the  Company  had  a  net  capital
                     deficiency  of  $348,995.  The lack of  sufficient  working
                     capital has hampered the  Company's  ability to produce and
                     market its products efficiently and to make payments to its
                     vendors and certain  noteholders in a timely fashion.  Some
                     vendors have placed the  Company's  account for  collection
                     with a collection agency.

                                       4.

Note F:              These factors  raise  substantial doubt as to the Company's
Cont'd               ability to continue as a going concern.

                     The  financial  statements  do not contain any  adjustments
                     that  might  be  necessary  if the  Company  is  unable  to
                     continue as a going concern.

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

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

           Sales  increased  $94,536 to  $2,086,235  for the nine  months  ended
November 30, 1995 as compared to $1,991,699  for the nine months ended  November
30,  1994.  The  increase  was  primarily a result of an increase of $352,000 in
sales of Nozzle Systems, while sales of SonoFlux Systems decreased approximately
$257,000.  For the three months ended November 30, 1995 sales increased $143,709
to $736,727 as compared to sales of $593,018 for the three months ended November
30, 1994. Sales of Nozzle Systems inreased  approximately  $150,000 and sales of
SonoFlux Systems decreased  approximately  $6,000 as compared to the three month
period ended  November 30,  1994.  The decrease in sales of SonoFlux  Systems is
believed to be the result of a decline in export sales as well as an increase in
competitive  pressures.  In response to the increase in competition  the Company
introduced its newest version of SonoFlux System, the "9500". This new model has
a lower manufacturing  cost, a lower selling  price,  and is designed to be more
"user friendly" through computer controled  operation.  Although there can be no
assurances, the Company anticipates that this new model will appeal to a broader
segment of the market, and lead to increased sales of this product line.

           Gross  profit  increased  $280,644  from  $914,600 for the nine month
period  ended  November 30, 1994 to  $1,195,244  for the nine month period ended
November 30, 1995,  and  increased  $143,438  from $270,316 for the three months
ended  November 30, 1994 to $413,754  for the three  months  ended  November 30,
1995. As a percent of sales, gross profit increased from 46% for the nine months
ended  November 30, 1994 to 57% for the nine months ended November 30, 1995, and
increased  from 46% for the three months ended  November 30, 1994 to 56% for the
three months ended  November 30, 1995. For both the nine and three month periods
the increase in gross  profit was  primarily a result of a change in product mix
and a reduction in production  overhead costs.  Sales of Nozzle  Systems,  which
realize  a higher  gross  margin  as  compared  to sales  of  SonoFlux  Systems,
comprised  39% and 40% of sales  for the  nine and  three  month  periods  ended
November  30, 1995 as compared to 24% of sales for both the nine and three month
periods  ended  November 30,  1994.  The  Company's  production  overhead  costs
decreased as a result of reduced warranty and labor costs.

           Research  and  product   development  costs  increased  $73,312  from
$221,639  for the nine months  ended  November 30, 1994 to $294,951 for the nine
months ended November 30, 1995 and increased  $21,586 from $76,568 for the three
months ended  November  30, 1994 to $98,154 for the three months ended  November
30, 1995 The increase was primarily a result of increased  labor and  consulting
costs associated with the development of the SonoFlux 9500.

           Marketing and selling costs  decreased  $85,005 from $561,261 for the
 nine months  ended  November  30, 1994 to  $476,256  for the nine months  ended
 November 30, 1995 and decreased

                                       6.

$41,177 from  $190,866 for the three months ended  November 30, 1994 to $149,689
for the three months ended  November 30, 1995.  The decrease was  primarily as a
result of a decrease  in travel  costs.  During the first nine  months of Fiscal
1996 the Company has concentrated its selling efforts to focus on North American
markets, thereby reducing the necessity for costly Far East and European travel.

           General and administrative  costs decreased $99,900 from $386,700 for
the nine month  period  ended  November 30, 1994 to $286,800 for the nine months
ended November 30, 1995 and decreased $34,375 from $128,530 for the three months
ended November 30, 1994 to $94,155 for the three months ended November 30, 1995.
For the nine months ended November 30, 1995 the decrease resulted primarily from
a reduction in the  Company's  reserve for  doubtful  accounts and a decrease in
professional  fees.  During the three months ended November 30, 1994 the Company
incurred  costs of $23,000  as a result of its  abandonment  of certain  foreign
patents.

           Interest  and other income  increased  $32,811 from $221 for the nine
months ended November 30, 1994 to $33,032 for the nine months ended November 30,
1995. The increase is a result of funding received during the three months ended
May 31, 1995 from  SEMATECH  for work done by the  Company  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 nine  months  ended  November  30,  1995 the  Company  earned
$119,599  or $.03 per share as  compared  to a net loss of  $301,821 or $.08 per
share for the nine months ended  November  30, 1994.  For the three months ended
November  30,  1995,  the Company  had  earnings of $54,205 or $.01 per share as
compared to a net loss of $142,439 or $.04 per share for the three  months ended
November  30,  1994.  The increase in earnings for both the nine and three month
periods  resulted  primarily  from an increase in sales of the Company's  Nozzle
Systems, a decrease in general and administrative costs, a decrease in marketing
and selling costs, and an increase in other income.


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

           Working capital increased $92,718 to $286,757 at November 30, 1995 as
compared to working  capital of $194,039 at February 28,  1995.  The increase in
working capital was primarily a result of profitable operations.

           The  Company's  lack of working  capital has  hampered its ability to
efficiently  produce and market its  products,  and has impeded  progress in the
development  of new  products.  At times,  the  Company  has been unable to make
payments  to its  vendors and certain  note  holders in a timely  fashion.  Some
vendors  have placed the  Company's  account for  collection  with a  collection
agency.  During Fiscal 1995 the Company  failed to make three of four  scheduled
interest payments to holders of the convertible secured subordinated  promissory
notes issued in November 1993. The failure to make such payments  constitutes an
act of  default  in  accordance  with the terms of the note.  In March  1995 the
Company and each noteholder agreed to an amendment whereby,  among other things,
the holder agreed to waive the right of default and

                                       7.

remedies based on the Company's  failure to make interest payments due on August
15, 1994 and thereafter through and including February 15, 1996.

           The  Company's  Chairman,  who  is  entitled  to  receive  consulting
compensation  from the  Company at the rate of $26,000  per year has agreed that
payments  to him could be  deferred  commencing  June  1993.  The amount of such
deferral at November 30, 1995 was $63,557.

           These factors  raise  serious  doubt as to the  Company's  ability to
continue as a going concern.

     During Fiscal 1995 the Company incurred a significant loss from operations.
During this period of time the Company devoted significant resources,  including
working  capital  to the  development  of two new  products.  The first is a new
generation of the SonoFlux System that is used in the  electronics  industry for
the application of flux to printed circuit boards during their manufacture.  The
Company  began  shipping  this new system to  customers  during the three months
ended May 31, 1995.  The second new product is a Wafer Coating System to be used
in  the   semiconductor   industry  for  the   application   of  photoresist  to
semiconductor  wafers. The Company anticipates that functional  qualification of
the Wafer Coating System will commence during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 1996.
Management  believes  that these new products  will lead to broader  markets and
increased  sales and  profits  quickly  enough to improve  its  working  capital
position in the short term and to restore its equity in the long term,  although
there can be no assurances that these goals will be achieved.

           In order to generate  additional  working capital,  333,333 shares of
common stock were sold to the Company's  Chairman and a Noteholder  for the fair
market value of $100,000 in February 1995.

           As the long term debt of the Company to the bank  matures on November
1, 1996 and the  Convertible  Secured  Subordinated  Notes  mature on August 15,
1997,  the Company will  experience  substantial  difficulties  in meeting these
obligations  unless the level of  profitability  improves  over the next several
years or unless the bank and 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,  if  negotiated,  will be on terms as favorable to the
Company as those presently in effect.
