                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 July 29, 1995


Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    (a) The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the  Securities and
Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair statement of the  results of the interim
periods presented.  These financial statements do not include all disclosures
associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in
conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended January 31, 1995.

    (b) Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each
period.  Common share equivalents include the dilutive effect of certain stock
options under the treasury stock method.  Fully diluted earnings per share have
not been separately presented since they are not materially different.

Note 2 - INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead.  The components of
inventories were as follows:

Note 3 - ACQUISITION

    On August 1, 1994, the Company acquired Grass Instrument Co., a privately
held corporation ("Grass"), and Cannon Manufacturing Company, a privately held
corporation ("Cannon") affiliated with Grass by common ownership.  Following a
merger, the combined businesses of Grass and Cannon continue as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company under the name "Grass Instrument Co."

    On an unaudited proforma basis, assuming Grass and Cannon had been acquired
on February 1, 1994, the Company's consolidated net sales would have been
$11,510,508 for the three months ended July 30, 1994 and $20,478,354 for the six
months ended July 30, 1994.  The proforma effect on net income and earnings per
share is not material.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations:
--------------------- 

    Net sales in the current quarter and six months increased 19% and 39%,
respectively, compared to prior year totals.  Excluding sales of the new
business acquired (see note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements),
net sales for the second quarter of the current fiscal year decreased
approximately 6% as compared to the second quarter a year ago.  For the six
months of the current fiscal year, comparable net sales were approximately 9%
higher than for the same period of the prior year.  Changes in sales have been
spread between recorders/printers and bar code printer products in all
geographic market sectors.

    Consolidated gross profit as a percentage of sales was 43% for the second
quarter and 41% for the six months of the current year.  For the prior year, the
percentages were 46% and 45%, respectively.  The declines were due in part to
the inclusion of sales of the new business which historically has experienced
substantially lower margins.  Excluding sales of the new business, gross profit
was 43% in the current second quarter and 43% for the current six months.  Gross
profit margins of the new business have been improved through the introduction
of certain manufacturing efficiencies and selected modest price increases.
Overall, margins in the current year have been affected by product sales mix and
increased sales of certain products to dealers and independent sales
representatives who receive a resale discount.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses without the new business
acquired rose by approximately 12% in both the second quarter and six months of
the current fiscal year as compared to amounts for the same periods in the prior
fiscal year.  There were no individually significant expenses affecting the
totals.  The most substantial changes in the current year resulted from
increased advertising and from additional sales personnel and their related
expenses.

    Research and development costs in the current second quarter and six months
did not vary significantly from comparable previous year totals.  The level of
such costs remains high, however, reflecting the Company's commitment to the
development of new and improved products.

    Interest and dividend income decreased noticeably in the current second
quarter and six months compared to prior year totals because of a reduction in
invested funds following the acquisition for cash of the business referred to
above.

Financial Condition:
------------------- 

    Long-term debt appearing in the consolidated balance sheets as of the end of
each respective period consists of the remainder of an industrial development
revenue bond financing used in prior years to construct facilities and make
major acquisitions of machinery and equipment.

    The Company's present cash and investment securities, together with funds
generated from operations and capital resources available to it, are expected to
satisfy requirements for working capital and other needs for the foreseeable
future.  The increased investment in inventories shown in the latest balance
sheet is in accordance with business plans.  No additional long-term financing
is planned.
