NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements  have been  prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information  and  with  the  instructions  to  Form  10-QSB  and  Article  10 of
Regulation S-X and Regulation S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles for
complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary for a fair presentation
have been included.  Operating  results for the six month period ended September
24, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Net  Income  (Loss)  Per  Share:  Net  income  (loss)  per share is based on the
weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding.  Net income (loss) per
share  calculations  are in accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  ("SFAS")  No. 128,  "Earnings  per Share".  Accordingly,  "basic" net
income  (loss)  per share is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  (loss) by the
weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  for the period.  "Diluted" net
income  (loss)  per share has not been  presented  as the  impact is either  not
material or anti-dilutive.

Inventories:  Inventories at September 24, 2000 consist of the following:

          Raw materials                         $ 575,000

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The  Company's  net sales for the second  quarter ("Q2 01") and six month period
("YTD 01")  ended  September  24,  2000,  were $1.8  million  and $3.4  million,
respectively.  Net Sales  for the Q2 01 and YTD 01  period  were up 10% for both
periods,  when  compared  to $1.6  million  and $3.1  million in the  comparable
periods of the prior year ("Q2 00" and "YTD 00").  The increase in net sales was
primarily due to higher  volume in military  aerospace  and  industrial  sensing
products which increased by approximately  36% for Q2 01 and 23% for YTD 01 when
compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Cost of sales  decreased by $10,000 (1%) during Q2 01 and by $82,000 (4%) during
YTD 01 compared to Q2 00 and YTD 00,  respectively.  Gross profit increased by 7
percentage  points in Q2 01 compared to Q2 00 and by 9 percentage  points in YTD
01 compared to YTD 00 due to a number of factors, including greater efficiencies
associated  with  higher  sales  volume and an increase  in  engineering  design
revenues,  which  utilize  existing  staffing and labor and have lower  material
costs.

Research and  development  costs have continued to decrease in FY 01 as compared
to FY 00, due  primarily  to a reduction  in  staffing  as well as general  cost
cutting  efforts.  In Q2 01,  research and  development  costs were $126,000,  a
decrease of $113,000 or 47% as compared to Q2 00. Research and development costs
for the YTD 01 period were $235,000, a decrease of $167,000 or 42% when compared
to YTD  00.  While  the  Company  believes  that  the  development  and  initial
commercialization  of its LAAPD  technology  has been  completed and has reduced
overall expenditures for research and development,  it continues  development of
other   derivatives  of  the  base   technology.   R&D  costs  have   fluctuated
significantly  in the  past,  and may  continue  to do so,  due to the  level of
activity  associated  with  development  contracts  as  well as the  number  and
complexity of new process and product development projects, the qualification of
new process developments and customer evaluation and acceptance of new products.

Marketing  and sales  expenses  decreased  by $13,000  (5%) to $246,000 in Q2 01
compared to Q2 00 and by $40,000  (8%) to $472,000 in YTD 01 compared to YTD 00.
The YTD decrease is attributable to a decrease in staffing,  due to a management
restructuring  which  occurred  in Q3 00,  and is  partially  offset by  overall
increases in advertising and marketing expenses.  The Company continues to focus
on its plan of increased  print media  advertising and trade show attendance and
does not anticipate any notable fluctuations in marketing and sales expenses for
the remainder of the year.

General and  administrative  expenses decreased by $132,000 (30%) to $301,000 in
Q2 01 compared to Q2 00 and by $135,000  (20%) to $547,000 in YTD 01 compared to
YTD 00. The decrease was primarily due to a one time expense of severance  costs
associated with a management  change in Q2 00, which  increased  overall general
and administrative  expenses for that period.  Excluding the impact of severance
costs,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  by $48,000  (19%) and
$45,000  (9%) in Q2 01 and YTD  01,  respectively,  when  compared  to the  same
periods of the prior year.  The increase was  primarily due to much higher costs
associated with the Company's annual proxy statement and mailing.  The number of

                                       8
<PAGE>
shareholders requiring proxy information in FY 01 represented approximately 800%
of the number  requiring  information  in FY 00. The Company does not anticipate
any  notable  fluctuations  in  general  and  administrative  expenses  for  the
remainder of the year,  except for those expenses which may arise as a result of
the Company's investigation of potential acquisitions.

Interest  income in Q2 01 was $72,000,  or $45,000  higher than Q2 00.  Interest
income for YTD 01 was  $146,000,  or $93,000  higher than the same period in the
prior year. The increase in interest income is due to substantially  higher cash
reserves available for investment over the prior year, due to the high volume of
stock options exercised during Q4 00.

Net  income  for Q2 01 was  $25,000,  or  $468,000  higher  than the net loss of
($443,000)  in Q2 00. YTD 01 net income of $219,000 is $817,000  higher than the
net loss of ($598,000) reported for the same period in the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 24, 2000,  the Company had cash,  cash  equivalents  and short-term
investments of $5.1 million and working  capital of $7.9 million.  The Company's
cash, cash equivalents and short-term  investments  decreased by $204,000 during
the six months  ended  September  24, 2000.  $148,000  was obtained  through the
exercise of stock options.  $314,000 was used for operating  activities  (before
cash  provided  by  short-term  investments).   $38,000  was  used  for  capital
equipment,  compared to $103,000 during the comparable period of the prior year.
The Company anticipates that cash outlays for capital items will increase during
the  remainder  of the  year,  as plans to  purchase  additional  machinery  and
computer  equipment  upgrades are scheduled  throughout  the remainder of fiscal
2001, amounting to approximately $210,000.

Prepaid  expenses and other current assets increased by $431,000 to $500,000 for
the current  period,  as compared to the same period of the prior year.  Of that
amount,  approximately  $406,000  represents  costs  incurred  by the Company in
connection with the examination of a possible  business  combination with Jenner
Biotherapies,  Inc.. The  investigation  is continuing and the costs incurred in
connection  with the potential  transaction  will be expensed if the deal is not
consummated.

The Company  previously  maintained a revolving line of credit  agreement with a
bank for the  lesser of  $1,000,000  or 75 percent of  eligible  trade  accounts
receivable, as defined by the agreement,  which expired during fiscal year 2000.
Based on current  projections and available cash reserves,  the Company does not
foresee an immediate need for borrowing and has therefore  elected to forego the
costs for maintaining the line at this time. The Company  believes that it would
be most efficient to establish a line when the situation warrants.

The Company believes that the moderate rate of inflation over the past few years
has not had a significant impact on the Company's sales or operating results.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES
None.
