               and the thick walled elastomeric products.  The
               first is related to increased activity in the
               aerospace and defense electronics products.  The
               latter, to the increased business activity in the
               global marketplace.  The Customized Printing and
               Packaging sales increased about equally between

<PAGE>
               folding carton sales to the confectionery industry
               and from specialty imprinting for the stationery,
               party and gift market.  In 1994, the sales
               decrease came in the Electronics Systems segment
               and was related to the defense electronics and
               aerospace industry.  Price increases have been
               nominal, but the pressure to reduce pricing has
               moderated.

BACKLOG        The backlog for the Company decreased to
               $6,000,000 compared to $6,700,000 at December 31,
               1994, and $7,500,000 as of April 2, 1994. The
               April 1, 1995, backlog is composed of $4,700,000
               in the Electronic Systems segment and $1,300,000
               in the Customized Printing and Packaging segment. 
               Part of the decrease in the backlog relates to the
               timing/release of orders and part is a reflection
               of the reduced cycle time from the receipt of an
               order to the completion and delivery of the order
               to the customer.

EXPENSES       Cost of products sold decreased, as a percent of
               sales, from 74.4 percent in 1994 to 70.3 percent
               in 1995.  This decrease reflects the 1994 one-time
               charges related to the transition and relocation
               of the Gloucester, MA, operation into the East
               Aurora, NY, manufacturing facility.  The hard
               costs of the move were approximately $400,000,  or
               6.5 percent of sales.  These costs consisted of
               the following:

               Buyout of a 5.75 year facility lease    $150,000
               Employee severance payments             $150,000
               Moving and travel costs                 $100,000

               Overall, therefore, operating expenses increased
               in the quarter.  The three areas of increase were
               manufacturing supplies, repairs and depreciation. 
               The Company is continuing to invest in technology
               and processes which require initial investments in
               support items, which are generally being treated
               as supplies.  During the quarter, the Company
               elected to do additional preventive maintenance on
               several machines and facilities.  This had a
               temporary effect of increasing repair costs.  
               Depreciation expense increased in the quarter to
               9.3 percent of sales compared to 7.2 percent in
               1994, and 5.8 percent in 1993.  This reflects the
               investment in technology and processes and the
               retirement of an obsolete price of machinery. 
               Material usage costs, despite some increases in
               raw material costs, continued to decrease.  In
               1995, they were 26.7 percent, in 1994, they were
               27.0 percent.  In 1993, product mix differences
               reduced material usage to 25.0 percent.  Employee
               costs also continue to decrease.  In 1995, these
               costs are 23.1 percent of sales, compared to 24.2
               percent in 1994, and 25.4 percent in 1993. The

<PAGE>
               remaining areas of costs were similar in 1995,
               1994, and 1993.  Total costs in this areas were
               $5,801,000, or 70.3 percent of sales in 1995,
               compared to $4,545,000, or 74.4 percent of sales
               in 1994, compared to $4,376,000, or 66.3 percent
               in 1993.

               Selling, general and administrative expenses
               increased 12.9 percent in 1995, compared to an
               increase of 8.5 percent in 1994.  The 1995
               increase compares to an increase in sales of 18.3
               percent.  The Company has a policy that it
               reserves all trade receivables over 180 days, or
               earlier if their are substantial questions. 
               During this quarter, an increase in reserves of
               $102,000 was recorded.  While the Company makes
               every effort to collect all receivables, it
               believes it is prudent to adequately reserve
               accounts that are not collected in a reasonable
               timeframe.  Because of timing, some normal
               advertising expenses experienced in the 1994 First
               Quarter will be incurred in the Second Quarter of
               1995.  Total selling, general and administrative
               expenses were $1,518,000, or 21 percent of sales
               in 1995, compared to $1,345,000, or 22.0 percent
               in 1994, and $1,240.000, or 18.8 percent of sales
               in 1993.

INTEREST       Interest costs, net, continues to decrease.  This
               is the result of the refinancing of the
               subordinated debentures in 1993 and the steady
               reduction of indebtedness.  During the last twelve
               months, the company has reduced indebtedness by
               over $2,000,000.  The earnings on temporary
               available cash was $39,000 in 1995, $25,000 in
               1994, and $26,000 in 1993.  As a percent of sales,
               interest costs, net, were 1.5 percent in 1995, 2.4
               percent in 1994 and 3.8 percent in 1993.

               Combining all the costs areas, the Company
               experienced a 11.1 percent increase in costs,
               while sales were increasing 18.3 percent.  This
               compares to an increase in costs in 1994 of 3.0
               percent on a decline of sales of 7.5 percent. 
               Income before taxes increased to $518,000, or 7,2
               percent compared to $69,000, or 1.1 percent of
               sales in 1994, and $739,000, or 11.2 percent of
               sales in 1993.

TAXES          The effective tax rate for the First Quarter of
               1995 was 46.7 percent, compared to 47.8 percent in
               1994, and 40.2 percent in 1993. The tax provision
               reflects the Federal income tax rate of 34.0
               percent and various state income/franchise tax
               rates.  Where there are minimum taxes required by
               law in various taxing jurisdictions, these are
               accrued in the First Quarter.


<PAGE>
NET INCOME     Net income was for the First Quarter was $276,000,
               or $.07 per share.  In 1994, the Company earned
               $36,000, or $.01 per share compared to the First
               Quarter of 1993 record earnings of $442,000, or
               $.11 per share.

LIQUIDITY      The Company's working capital decreased in the
               First Quarter of 1995 by $1,382,000.  This
               reflects the following items for which working
               capital was used:

               Investment in technology and processes  $1,543,000
               Reduction of indebtedness                  557,000
               Acquisition of Treasury Stock               62,000
                                                       __________
                                                       $2,162,000

               This compares to a increase of $135,000 in 1994
               and an increase of $414,000 in 1993.  The Company
               has a $5,000,000 line of credit available for
               additional working capital needs, which the
               Company has not utilized in recent years.  The
               Company feels that its beginning cash balance, the
               cash flow from internal operations and the line of
               credit are adequate to meet the Company's
               operational and investment plans for 1995.

COMMITMENTS    The Company is continuing its commitment to
               technology and processes.  As such, it  has
               outstanding commitments at the end of the First
               Quarter of 1995 of approximately $3,500,000.  All
               of these commitments should be completed  and
               operational by the end of the Fourth Quarter.

               The Company also has commitments for items that it
               purchases in the normal on-going affairs of the
               business.  The Company is not aware of any
               obligations in excess of normal market conditions,
               nor of any long-term commitments that would affect
               its financial condition.
