NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation

         In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements
         contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
         position as of December 31, 1995, the results of operations for the
         three months and nine months ended December 31, 1995 and December 31,
         1994 and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 1995 and
         December 31, 1994. These statements should be read in conjunction with
         the March 31, 1995 financial statements and notes thereto incorporated
         in the Company's Annual Report for the year ending March 31, 1995 (Form
         10-K) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of the
         results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

NOTE 2 - Receivables From Affiliate

         Trade and other accounts receivable include trade receivables from the
         Company's minority owned affiliate - Impact Systems Asia KK - in the
         amount of $769 and $76 at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1995,
         respectively. Such receivables arose from the sale of systems and spare
         parts to the affiliate. Approximately $694 of the $769 is expected to
         be collected in the quarter ending March 31, 1996.

Note 4 - Income Per Common Share

         Income per common and common equivalent share is computed using the
         weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
         outstanding. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of stock options
         and warrants (using the treasury stock method).

Note 5 - Income Taxes

         The Company prospectively adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"),
         effective April 1, 1993. The adoption of SFAS 109 changes the Company's
         method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method (APB 11)
         to an asset and liability approach. Previously, the Company deferred
         the tax effects of differences between financial reporting and taxable
         income. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of
         deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
         consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and
         the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Adoption of SFAS 109 did not
         have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

                 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



                              Results of Operations


Net Revenues

Net revenues for the current quarter (ended December 31, 1995), were $4.4
million compared to $3.8 million in the year ago quarter (ended December 31,
1994) and $4.0 million for the previous quarter (ended September 30, 1995). On a
year to date basis revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 were $12.1
million compared to $11.8 million for the same period of fiscal 1995. The
increase in revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 1996 reflects improved
market conditions for the Company's products, particularly its AdvantagePlus
sensors and increases in overall system order levels in both the United States
and Asia.

Gross Margins

Gross margins, as a percentage of net revenues, were virtually the same for the
current quarter (54.5%) and prior year quarter (54.4%). The increase from 51%
for the previous quarter (ended September 30, 1995) was primarily the result of
the effect of fixed costs spread over a higher sales volume as well as product
shipment mix. Gross margin percentages on a quarterly basis vary due to product
mix.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased from $1.7 million to $2.0 million on a comparable
quarter basis reflecting primarily increased variable selling expenses
associated with the higher sales volume. The current quarter also reflects costs
associated with the Company's sales force expansion in its domestic market to
more effectively promote its expanded product line. The Company expects
operating expenses to remain above prior year levels, at least through the
remainder of fiscal 1996.

Other Income and Expense

Net interest income of $84,000 for the current quarter approximates the $88,000
recorded in the prior year quarter as invested cash balances and interest rates
were comparable. On a year to date basis the $269,000 in interest income for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996 exceeded the $167,000 recorded in the first
nine months of fiscal 1995 primarily as the result of increased collections on
long-term contract receivables.

The Company's minority owned affiliate, Impact Systems Asia, recorded
significant increases in order and shipment levels during fiscal 1996 versus
fiscal 1995 resulting in substantial improvements in the Company's 40% equity
investment. The Company recorded income of $363,000 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 compared to a loss of $47,000 for the comparable fiscal 1995 period
reflecting the increased shipment levels.


                                                                              8
<PAGE>   9
                         Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company had cash balances and short-term investments of approximately $5.7
million _at December 31, 1995 compared to $6.2 million at March 31, 1995 and
$5.2 million at the prior quarter's end (September 30, 1995). There are no
outstanding borrowings under the Company's $6.0 million domestic credit facility
and the Company expects that existing cash balances together with cash flow from
operations and borrowings, if necessary, will be adequate to meet its working
capital requirements through at least fiscal 1996.

For the first nine months of fiscal 1996 (ended December 31, 1995) cash and
investments declined approximately $531,000 as the result of the timing of third
quarter shipments (and associated payment terms). The Company expects that
fourth quarter fiscal 1996 collections will meet or exceed its spending
requirements. Inventory balances increased $787,000 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1996 as the result of significant increases in the Company's backlog (and
resultant work in process levels) at December 31, 1995 and investment in newer
product line components. Accounts payable balances increased by approximately
$514,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 as the result of increased
inventory receipts.

               SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS



On November 15, 1995, the Company's shareholders took the following actions at
the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders:

Proxies were solicited pursuant to Regulation 14 under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, there was no solicitation in opposition to management's
nominees for the Company's Board of Directors as listed in the proxy statement,
and all such nominees were elected to serve as directors for the ensuing year.
Secondly, shareholders approved the 1995 Stock Option Plan which replaced the
expired 1985 Stock Option Plan. The 1995 Plan authorizes the Board of Directors
to grant options and rights to purchase Common Stock in order to provide
additional incentives to employees and consultants and to promote the success of
the Company's business. Finally, Price Waterhouse LLP was ratified as
independent accountants for the current fiscal year.
