ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RECENT EVENTS

Revenues from our Japanese subsidiary continue to be approximately 45-50% of
consolidated revenues.

In June of this year, we canceled the follow-on public stock offering of 2.5
million shares which was initiated in March of this year.

In June of this year, we announced the enhancement of our license agreement
with International Electronics & Engineering (IEE).  IEE pays us license fees
on the use of Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) technology for auto safety systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues grew 19% from $7 million in the three month period ended June 30,
1999 to $8.3 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2000 and grew
18% from $13.5 million in the six month period ended June 30, 1999 to $15.9
million for the same period of 2000.  This revenue growth is a result
primarily of a 31% increase in sales to OEMs in the business communication
market.  Sales to this market constituted approximately 61% of our total
revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2000.  In addition, we
recorded revenue in two newer market areas, broadband home entertainment and
e-transactions.  These areas constituted approximately 9% and 3% of our total
revenues for the first half of 2000, respectively.  Sales of specialty
components accounted for approximately 27% of total revenues for the six
month period ended June 30, 2000.

Gross profit increased 35% from $2.7 million in the three month period ended
June 30, 1999 to $3.6 million in the same period of 2000 and increased 28%
from $5.1 million in the first six months of 1999 to $6.5 million in the same
period of 2000.  As a percentage of revenues, gross profit increased from
38.4% for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 to 43.6% for the same
period in 2000 and improved from 37.6% in the first half of 1999 to 40.8% of
the same period in 2000. These increases reflect increased sales of higher
margin products to the broadband home entertainment and e-transactions
markets and the impact of the additional licensing revenue recorded in the
second quarter of 2000 resulting from the expanded licensing agreement with
International Electronics and Engineering (IEE).

Product development and research expense increased 69% from $565,000 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1999 to $955,000 for the same period in
2000 and increased 45% from $1.1 million in the first six months of 1999 to
$1.6 million in the same period of 2000.  As a percentage of revenues,
product development and research expense increased from 8.1% for the three
month period ended June 30, 1999 to 11.6% for the same period in 2000 and
increased from 8.1% in the first half of 1999 to 9.9% in the same period of
2000.  The increases resulted primarily from our continued development of
products based on our proprietary VERSAPOINT and REMOTELINK technologies and
the development of the INTUITOUCH broadband home entertainment interface
system.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased 17% from $1.5
million for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 to $1.8 million  for
the same period in 2000 and increased 12% from $2.9 million in the first half
of 1999 to $3.3 million in the same period of 2000. As a percentage of
revenues, SG&A expense decreased from 22% for the three month period ended
June 30, 1999 to 21.7% for the same period in 2000 and decreased from 21.9%
in the first half of 1999 to 20.7% in the same period of 2000. The decrease
resulted from the amortization of a relatively stable SG&A burden over
increased sales.

Operating income improved from $574,000 or 8.2% of revenues in the three
month period ended June 30, 1999 to $851,000 or 10.3% of revenues for the
same period of 2000 and increased from $1 million or 7.7% of revenues for the
first six months of 1999 to $1.6 million or 10.3% of revenues for same period
of 2000.

                                      6

<PAGE>

In the three-month period ended June 30, 2000, we recorded a one-time,
non-operating charge of $769,000 related to the expenses of our cancelled
follow-on public stock offering.

Income taxes as a percentage of income before provision for income taxes
increased from 13.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 to 15.6%
for the same period in 2000.  The increase in the income tax rate is due to
the greater impact of the results from our Japanese subsidiary, which is
taxed at a higher rate.

Net income decreased from $508,000 or 7.3% of revenues for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999 to $68,000 or 0.8% of revenues for the same quarter in 2000 and
decreased from $916,000 or 6.8% of revenues in the six months ended June 30,
1999 to $780,000 or 4.9% of revenues. The decreases are a result of the
one-time, non-operating charge from the cancelled offering offsetting good
revenue and operating income growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2000, working capital totaled $19.7 million as compared to $17.6
million at December 31, 1999. This increase is primarily a result of the
positive results from operations and additional bank debt.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, operations was essentially
break-even from a cash flow perspective.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, investing activities consumed
$541,000 in cash, consisting primarily of the purchase of production
equipment.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2000, financing activities provided
$1.5 million in cash, consisting primarily of borrowings from Japanese banks
and the proceeds of the exercise of employee stock options partially offset
by the repayment of capital lease and other debt obligations.  Our U.S. and
Japanese Bank lines of credit, totaling a combined $4.1 million, were unused
as of June 30, 2000.  We also believe there a number of sources available for
the leasing of equipment.  The exercise of outstanding stock options is a
potential source of equity capital that may be available to us.  We believe
that our current cash balances, lines of credit and operating cash flow will
allow us to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.  However, an
unforeseen downturn of results in sufficient magnitude could effect our
ability to meet that forecast.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain revenue
exposures against future movements in foreign exchange rates.  Gains and
losses on the forward contracts are largely offset by gains and losses on the
underlying exposure and consequently a sudden or significant change in
foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on future net income
or cash flows.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report on Form 10-Q contains statements that constitute "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties.  These risks may include the following:

- the correctness of the assumptions upon which our new business plan is
  based;

- the amount or timing of growth in the markets to which we sell our products;

- fluctuations in our operating results;

                                      7

<PAGE>

- dependence on one or more customers or limited market or geographic areas;

- our ability to implement our new business strategy of developing products
  for the home entertainment and e-transactions markets;

- risks related to international sales and manufacturing;

- fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies;

- our ability to develop and introduce new products to respond to evolving
  industry requirements;

- failure of the home entertainment and e-transactions markets to adopt our
  technology;

- failure to attract and retain qualified individuals for critical positions;

- failure to manage our growth effectively;

- reliance on others for significant aspects of our manufacturing;

- interruptions in the supply of any significant FSR sensor or other
  component;

- performance, reliability or quality problems with our products;

- federal, state and international legislation and regulation affecting
  e-commerce;

- adoption of technologies and standards by electronics manufacturers and
  service providers;

- reliance on others for significant aspects of our technology development; and

- industry downturns in the markets we serve.

The following, in addition to the risk factors described above, are among the
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
forward-looking statements:  an unexpected change in business conditions or a
slowdown in growth in the electronics industry and general economies, both
domestic and international; lower than expected customer orders, delays in
receipt of orders or cancellation of orders; competitive factors, including
increased competition, new product offerings by competitors and price
pressures; significant quarterly performance fluctuations due to the receipt
of a significant portion of customer orders and product shipments in the last
month of each quarter; and product shipment interruptions due to
manufacturing problems.  The forward-looking statements contained in this
Report on Form 10-Q regarding industry trends, revenue and product mix, costs
and gross profit expectations, income taxes, revenue growth, product
development and marketing and sales expenses, cash flow, foreign currency
exchange risk and future business activities should be considered in light of
these factors.
