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, 1996.

    (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

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

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

    Sales Revenues in the 1st Quarter declined 4% from the previous year's first
quarter sales.  The results were attributable to lower sales volume in the
traditional recorder products and certain Grass Instrument product lines.  Sales
of the Company's new product lines continued to increase with double digit
growth rates reported in the Bar Code, SUNDANCE and K3 product lines.  Growth
was also strong in the Company's international offices where a sales increase of
22% was realized.  The Company does expect this trend in new product expansion
to drive its growth strategy.

    Gross profits during the quarter were 38% compared to 39% reported in the
1st quarter of the previous fiscal year.  The product line mix was the prime
contributor to the lower yield.  As the new printers and data acquisition
products increase their market penetration, the Company expects its Gross Profit
Margins to improve.

    Selling, General & Administrative, and Research & Development spending in
the 1st Quarter were lower than last year by 3%.  The 1st Quarter's investment
of $606,000 in Research & Development dollars affirms the Company's continued
commitment to the development of new and improved product offerings.

    The Company's Investment Income was significantly higher than last year's
first Quarter results.  The increment was due to gains realized from the sales
of securities in the Company's investment portfolio.

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

    Long term debt 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 current investment in inventories shown in the latest balance sheet
is in accordance with business plans.  No additional long-term financing is
planned.
