                                April 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 would not be materially different.

Note 2 - INVENTORIES

    Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market

Note 3 - ACQUISITION

    On August 1, 1994, the Company acquired Grass Instrument Co., a privately
held coropration ("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, 1993, the Company's consolidated net sales would have been
$8,967,846 for the three months ended April 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:
- --------------------- 

    Excluding sales of the new business acquired (see Note 3 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements), net sales for the first quarter of the
current fiscal year increased approximately 30% as compared to a relatively weak
first quarter a year ago.  The increase was spread between recorders/printers
and bar code printer products in all geographic market sectors.  Including sales
of the new business, net sales were 67% higher than the prior quarter's total.
Sales of the Company's newest products, including the four-color label printer
SUNDANCE, are expected to favorably impact sales later in the year.

    Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 39% in the current quarter as
compared to 44% in the first quarter of the prior year.  The decline is due in
large part to the inclusion of sales of the new business which has customarily
experienced gross profit margins of approximately 30%.  Excluding sales of the
new business, gross profit declined from 44% to 41% as a result of product sales
mix and sales of certain products to dealers and independent sales
representatives who receive a resale discount.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses in the current year quarter
without the new business acquired rose by approximately 10% from the prior year
first quarter.  While certain expenses increased or decreased, there were no
individually significant expenses affecting the totals.  The most substantial
comparative change resulted from additional sales personnel and their related
expenses in the current period.

    Research and development costs in the current quarter did not vary
significantly from the previous first quarter.  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 first
quarter compared to the prior period total 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 additional investment in inventories shown in the latest balance
sheet is in accordance with business plans.  No additional long-term financing
is planned.
