          addition, 101,184 stock options at an average price
          of $2.96 per share expired on December 14, 1995.  On January
          11, 1996, 1,172,763 options were granted at an average
          exercise price of $2.96 per share.  A total of 480,732 of
          the canceled options and all of the expired options were
          incentive stock options for purposes of the Internal Revenue
          Code of 1986, as amended, which when exercised would not
          have yielded a tax deduction for corporate tax purposes. 
          The newly granted options are not incentive stock options
          and therefore represent a potential tax benefit to the
          Company when exercised.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


Liquidity, Capital Resources and Impact of Inflation
____________________________________________________

    The Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders approved on
Feburary 2, 1996, a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the
"Plan") of the Company.  See "Plan of Complete Liquidation and
Dissolution" below.

    The Company announced on March 26, 1996 a Board of Directors
authorization for the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of Common
Stock to be made from time to time through open market and privately
negotiated transactions (in addition to the 500,000 shares previously
authorized on October 23, 1992).  To date, 572,227 shares have been
repurchased.
 
Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation
______________________________________

    Pursuant to the Plan, the Company consummated the sales of the
assets of its three operating units (Military Division, Behlman
Electronics subsidiary and Industrial Automation Division) as of
February 7, 1996.  The exact amount of the proceeds to the Company of
such sales is dependent upon a final fixed asset and inventory
valuation.  In connection with the sale of the Military and Behlman
operations, $1,000,000 of the purchase price is being held in escrow
to provide for indemnification claims that the buyer may assert
against the Company or Behlman under the sale agreement.

    The Company has set aside, as Accrued expenses/contingency
reserve, an amount believed to be adequate for payment of all expenses
and other known liabilities and possible contingent obligations,
including potential tax obligations.  Any portion of the contingency
reserve which the Company determines is no longer required will
be made available for distribution to its shareholders.  In the event
that the Accrued expenses/contingency reserve account is not adequate
for payment of the Company's expenses and liabilities, each
stockholder could be held liable for pro rata payments to creditors in
an amount not to exceed the stockholder's prior distributions from the
Company.

Statement of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation
_________________________________________________

    The total of Net Assets in liquidation on March 31, 1996 did not
change materially from the total on February 2, 1996.  

     Accrued expenses/contingency reserve was reduced primarily
due to the payment of various shutdown costs.

Results of Operations
_____________________

    The Company, under the Plan, has sold all of its operating assets
as of February 7, 1996.

Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution
____________________________________________

    On February 2, 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved a
Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution for the Company.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company has sold its three operating units
and intends to sell such of its remaining assets as are not to be
distributed in kind to its stockholders.  The Company intends to
provide for payment of all expenses, liabilities and obligations
of the Company and liquidate via distributions to stockholders.

    The Board is currently unable to predict the precise amount of any
distributions pursuant to the Plan.  The actual amount and timing of,
and record date for, all such distributions will be determined by the
Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, and will depend in part
upon the Board's determination as to whether particular assets are to
be distributed in kind or otherwise disposed of, and the amounts
deemed necessary by the Board to pay or provide for all the
Company's liabilities and obligations.
