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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 1995 as Compared With
- ----------------------------------------------------------- 
the Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 1994
- ----------------------------------------------        

    Revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 totaled $492,000 as compared 
  to $418,000 in the comparable quarter of 1995, an increase of $74,000.  
  Management believes this 18% increase in revenues is directly related to 
  its efforts in marketing, and focus on sales leads generation.

    Cost of sales increased by $45,000, from $297,000 (71% of sales) in the 
  first quarter of fiscal 1995 to $342,000 (70% of sales) in the same 
  period of fiscal 1996.  The main reason for the increase in cost of sales 
  was the increase in sales volume.  The percent of sales decrease from 71% 
  to 70% was primarily due to fixed overhead costs being spread over higher 
  total sales.  To further reduce costs, management recently reduced the 
  workforce.  The effect of the work force reduction will be realized in 
  the second quarter and beyond.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $32,000, or 
  19%, from $170,000 (41% of sales) to $138,000 (28% of sales).  
  The difference was primarily the result of sharing the Company's facility 
  and certain allocated overhead expenses with Tytronics Incorporated 
  ("Tytronics"), a related entity which owns 54% of the Company's common stock.
  In addition, certain one-time expenses associated with Tytronics' purchase 
  of the majority of Holometrix' stock during the first quarter of fiscal 1995 
  were not present.

    Research and development decreased $14,000, from $47,000 (11% of sales) to 
  $33,000 (7% of sales).  The decrease was due primarily to the sharing of 
  certain allocated overhead expenses with Tytronics.  Management anticipates 
  that expenses in this area will remain relatively stable. The research and 
  development expenses decreased  as a percentage of sales in the first 
  quarter of fiscal 1996 because total sales were higher as compared to the 
  prior year period.

    Loss from operations was $20,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, 
  compared with loss of $96,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 1995, 
  primarily due to higher revenues and lower operating expenses during the 
  quarter.  Net loss was $28,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996, 
  compared with loss of $105,000 in the comparable period of fiscal 1995, 
  again due primarily to the higher revenues and lower operating expenses 
  during the quarter.

    Total Assets increased by $39,000 during the first quarter, from 
  $1,074,000 to $1,113,000.  Cash increased by $8,000, and accounts 
  receivable increased by $36,000, due to higher sales volume.  Inventories 
  decreased by $17,000, due to improved manufacturing planning. Other 
  current assets increased by $40,000, due primarily to the increase in 
  receivables from Tytronics for shared facility and overhead expenses 
  totaling $17,000, and prepaid expenses totaling $15,000.  Fixed assets 
  decreased by $24,000, due primarily to depreciation and amortization.

    Total Liabilities increased by $68,000, primarily due to increases in 
  the Company's line of credit, accrued other expenses, and moneys due to 
  Tytronics, all offset by a substantial reduction in accounts payable. At 
  December 31, 1995, the Company was in default on its current $55,000 loan 
  payment to Tytronics. Tytronics has expressed its agreement not to 
  accelerate its loan to the Company ($165,000) through September 30, 1996. 
  The Company's line of credit increased by $25,000 due to increased 
  borrowings. Accounts payable decreased by $37,000, from $215,000 at 
  September 30, 1995, to $178,000 at December 31, 1995, primarily due to 
  payment of extended payables held at September 30, 1995 to conserve cash.  
  Accrued other expenses increased by $52,000, mainly due to $38,000 of 
  commissions to international distributors.  Moneys due to a stockholder 
  ("Tytronics") increased due to slow payments on the part of the Company, 
  and an increased volume of inter-company transactions.

    As of December 31, 1995, the Company had an outstanding order backlog for 
  products and services of approximately $118,000 as compared to a backlog of 
  $277,000 as of December 31, 1994. The Company believes the $118,000 backlog 
  will be realized in fiscal 1996.  The backlog was reduced due to lower than 
  normal bookings partly due to the government contract noted below. 
  Management believes that this current backlog amount is only marginally 
  adequate to maintain stable Company operations.

    In the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company received notification 
  from the United States Government that a large contract was being suspended, 
  at least temporarily.  Approximately $483,600, or 23% of total sales in 
  fiscal year 1995 represented revenues under this contract. This contract is 
  terminable at will by the U.S. government. Due to changes in government 
  appropriations, government funding levels, and spending priorities, this 
  contract has been suspended effective September 30, 1995. Reinstatement, if 
  it occurs, will be determined by the funding and direction of the fiscal 
  1996 Congressional budget and DOE executive decisions. Ultimately, this 
  contract could be substantially reduced or canceled. The loss of this 
  contract will have a material effect on the Company, reducing both sales 
  and profitability.

    The Company expects that it will continue to explore additional business 
  opportunities through enhanced sales and marketing efforts, new product 
  development, and the development of strategic relationships, including 
  licensing, acquisition, or merger.  However, there can be no guarantee that 
  such activities will result in continuing and sustained profitability.

    In an effort to increase its marketing efforts, on November 10, 1995, the 
  Company hired a new Director of Sales, Marketing and Engineering.  If the 
  Company's new marketing efforts meet with success, the Company's management 
  believes that increased revenues combined with the reduction in expenses 
  could result in a return to profitability before the end of fiscal 1996.  
  Under these conditions, management believes that operating capital and the 
  line of credit from Silicon Valley Bank will provide sufficient capital to 
  maintain stable Company operations throughout fiscal 1996.  Management also 
  believes that additional capital resources will be available from Tytronics.  
  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will become profitable 
  in fiscal 1996, that adequate operating funds will be generated through 
  revenue increases or expense containment, or that additional funding can be 
  obtained on acceptable terms.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Note payable to a founder
- -------------------------
    
    In April 1992, the Company issued a $50,000 Unsecured Promissory Note to 
  a founder of the Company.  Terms of the note required principal repayment 
  of $25,000 plus accrued interest at 6% on April 1, 1993 and April 1, 1994.  
  In August 1994, the terms of the note, with outstanding debt at $44,000, 
  were re-negotiated.  The new agreement calls for 68 monthly payments of 
  $500 each, including interest at 6%, forgives $5,000 principal immediately, 
  and forgives an additional $5,000 at the end of the payment schedule if all 
  payments are made on time.  At December 31, 1995, the outstanding balance 
  was $28,102, of which $23,429 is classified as a long-term liability, and 
  $4,673 is classified as a current liability.

Notes payable to stockholders
- -----------------------------

    A $10,000 loan was advanced by Tytronics to the Company during the first 
    quarter of fiscal 1996. The Company is currently in default on the current 
    $55,000 installment payment due on the term note to Tytronics.  However, 
    Tytronics has expressed its agreement not to accelerate payment on the 
    term note.  At December 31, 1995, the total outstanding balance was 
    $175,000, of which $120,000 is classified as current.

Notes payable line of credit
- ----------------------------
	
    On December 22, 1994, Silicon Valley Bank provided the Company with a line 
    of credit in the amount of $350,000.  This line of credit is secured by 
    substantially all assets of the Company.  Advances under this line shall 
    not exceed 70% of the Company's eligible accounts receivable as defined.  
    These amounts are payable on demand and bear interest at the bank's prime 
    rate plus 1.5%.  Advances are also contingent upon maintaining certain 
    covenants relative to profitability, liquidity, tangible net worth, and 
    leverage.  The Company was not in compliance with certain of these 
    covenants during part of the 1995 fiscal year.  Subject to the terms and 
    conditions of a modification agreement dated August 14, 1995, the bank 
    has waived the covenant violations and amended the requirements for 
    these covenants. As of December 31, 1995, the Company was in compliance 
    with all covenants; borrowings under the line of credit were $150,000.
