RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED WITH THE THREE AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE, 1994.


Revenue

   Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 was
$3,351,000 and $6,502,000, respectively, as compared to $2,315,000 and
$4,926,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994. The increase of
45% and 32%, respectively, in revenue for the three and six months ended June
30, 1995 is primarily due to revenues generated from significant new system
sales.

   For the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 revenue consisted
of new system revenue of $1,841,000 (55%) and $3,566,000 (55%), respectively,
and revenue related to system enhancements, expansion and maintenance of
$1,510,000 (45%) and $2,936,000 (45%), respectively.  This compares to 1994
revenue of $747,000 (32%) and $1,897,000 (39%), respectively, in new system
revenue and revenue related to system enhancements, expansion and maintenance
of $1,568,000 (68%) and $3,029,000 (61%), respectively.  The difference from
1994 to 1995 is primarily due to the fact that in 1995 the Company sold over
20 new systems, while in 1994 a higher percentage of revenue was generated
from system expansions.

   A small number of customers have typically accounted for a large
percentage of the Company's annual revenue. In the first six months of 1995,
one customer accounted for 13% of total revenue.  During the first six months
of 1994, two customers accounted for 15% and 10% of total revenue.  One
consequence of this dependence has been that revenue can fluctuate
significantly on a quarterly basis.  The Company's reliance on relatively few
customers could have a material adverse effect on the results of its
operations, particularly in light of the current prevailing adverse general
economic conditions, which have adversely affected certain industries,
including aerospace and defense-related manufacturing, in which many of the
Company's principal customers operate. Additionally, a significant portion of
the Company's revenues has historically been derived from the sale of systems
to new customers.  The addition of over 20 new systems has reduced the
Companys dependence on a small number of customers.  As additional new
systems are installed the future dependence on new system sales will continue
to decrease.


Gross Profit

   Gross profit was $1,929,000 or 58% and $3,388,000 or 52% for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995. For the comparable periods in 1994,
gross profit was $1,243,000 or 54% and $2,552,000 or 52%, respectively.
During the second quarter of 1995 the significant increase in gross profit
was attributable to a higher percentage of software sales as opposed to 1994.
Gross profit percentage can fluctuate quarterly based on the revenue mix of
Company software, services, proprietary hardware, and third party software or
hardware.  Third party products are resold at a lower gross profit percentage
in order for the Company to remain competitive in the market place.

Operating Expenses

   Research and development expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995 was $335,000 and $560,000 versus $215,000 and $432,000 for the
same periods in the prior year.  Research and development expense can vary
year to year based on the amount of engineering service contract work
required for customers versus purely internal development projects.
Technical expenses on customer-funded projects are included in cost of
revenues, while expenses on internal projects are included in research and
development expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1995,
technical expense included in cost of revenues was $510,000 and $1,123,000,
respectively, versus $530,000 and $1,166,000, respectively, for the same
period last year.

   Marketing expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995
was $778,000 and $1,471,000 as compared to $685,000 and $1,307,000 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in 1995 is primarily
due to additional sales and support personnel hired.  During the first half
of 1995, the Company opened two new sales offices, resulting in additional
sales offices across the United States.  An office was opened in Detroit in
January and Chicago in May.

   General and administrative expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995 increased to $399,000 and $721,000 from $262,000 and
$529,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in
general and administrative expense was due primarily to costs associated with
three additional personnel as compared to 1994.


Interest and Other Income

   Interest and other income was $36,000 and $70,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995 as compared to $50,000 and $95,000 in the
prior year.  The decrease is due primarily to reduced interest income
resulting from lower short term investment balances during the first half of
1995 versus 1994.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   At June 30, 1995, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled
$2,152,000 as compared to $1,036,000 at December 31, 1994.  Short term
investments were $675,000 at June 30, 1995 versus $1,804,000 at December 31,
1994. Short term investments are comprised primarily of certificates of
deposit and treasury bills.  At June 30, 1995, the Company's current ratio
was nearly 2 to 1.

   For the first six months of 1995, the Company generated cash of
$744,000 in operating activities, $361,000 in investing activities, and
$11,000 in financing activities.  During the first six months of 1994, the
Company used cash of $890,000 in operating activities.  The Company used
$1,146,000 in investing activities, with $76,000 used in financing activities.

   In the past, the Company has generally limited the number of
contracts sought from customers requiring substantial bonds or deposits;
however, such bonds or deposits are often required by state and local
governments, and occasionally by other types of potential customers.  Bond or
deposit amounts required are generally a percentage of the total contract
price.  Such bonds or deposits generally must remain in place from the award
of the contract until acceptance of the work performed, which in the absence
of a dispute typically occurs within six to nine months after award of the
contract.  The Company does not expect that the posting of such bonds or
deposits in the future will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
ability to meet its needs for liquidity and working capital.

   In September 1993, the Company acquired Optigraphics Corporation.
As part of the transaction, the Company issued notes due in September 1995
totaling $1,734,000 with interest payable quarterly at 6% per annum.  The
Company believes working capital and funds generated from operations will be
sufficient to meet the principal balances due at expiration.  However, the
Company will explore all of its options for additional financing before the
due date of the principal balance of the notes.  From a total operations
standpoint, the Company believes that current working capital and funds
generated from operations will be adequate to meet expected needs for working
capital and capital expenditures over the next twenty four months.


Net Operating Loss Tax Carryforwards

   As of December 31, 1994, the Company had a net operating loss
carryforward ("NOL") for Federal income tax purposes of $36,400,000.  In
addition, the Company generated but has not used research and investment tax
credits for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $600,000.  Under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Company
generally would be entitled to reduce its future Federal income tax
liabilities by carrying unused NOL forward for a period of 15 years to offset
future taxable income earned, and by carrying unused tax credits forward for
a period of 15 years to offset future income taxes.  The Company's ability to
utilize any NOL and credit carryforwards in future years may be restricted,
however, in the event the Company undergoes an "ownership change,"
generally defined as a more than 50 percentage point change of ownership by
one or more statutorily defined "5-percent stockholders" of a corporation, as a
result of future issuances or transfers of equity securities of the Company
within a three-year testing period.  In the event of an ownership change, the
amount of NOL attributable to the period prior to the ownership change that
may be used to offset taxable income in any year thereafter generally may not
exceed the fair market value of the Company immediately before the ownership
change (subject to certain adjustments) multiplied by the applicable
long-term, tax-exempt rate announced by the Internal Revenue Service in
effect for the date of the ownership change.  A further limitation would
apply to restrict the amount of state NOL and credit carryforwards that might
be used in any year after the ownership change.  As a result of these
limitations, in the event of an ownership change, the Company's ability to
use its NOL and credit carryforwards in future years may be delayed and, to
the extent the carryforward amounts cannot be fully utilized under these
limitations within the carryforward periods, these carryforwards will be
lost.  Accordingly, the Company may be required to pay more Federal income
taxes or to pay such taxes sooner than if the use of its NOL and credit
carryforwards were not restricted.

   Over the past three years the Company has issued equity securities
through a unit offering in connection with the Optigraphics acquisition in
September 1993, and through traditional stock option grants to employees.
This activity, combined with the liquidity available to stockholders as a
result of the Companys common stock trading on the NASDAQ National Market
System, increases the potential for an "ownership change" for income tax
purposes.
