NOTE 3 - CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
On May 28, 1996, the Company amended its credit agreement (Agreement) with a
bank to extend the maturity date to May 29, 1997. The Agreement has two
components, a $3 million line (international) guaranteed by a third party bank
which is collateralized by international accounts receivable and inventory, and
which bears interest at prime (8-1/4% at June 30, 1996); and a $3 million line
(domestic) which is collateralized by domestic accounts receivable and
inventory, and which bears interest at prime plus 1/2 (8-3/4% at
June 30, 1996). The weighted average interest rates on borrowings during the
first half of 1996 and 1995 were 7.5% and 8.6% respectively. The unused
portion of the $3 million domestic line is subject to a commitment fee
of 3/4% per annum. Borrowings under the Agreement are subject to various
limitations based upon percentages of eligible receivables and inventories of
the Company. The available balance on the total line of credit was $4,278,000
as of June 30, 1996. In addition, the Agreement contains covenants which,
among other things, require the maintenance of specified working capital, debt
to equity ratios, net income levels and tangible net worth levels.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $.2 million from December 31, 1995.
Total Company borrowings increased $1.2 million from the end of 1995 to $1.5
million at June 30, 1996. The increase in borrowings is due to the timing of
sales transactions and related receipts. On May 28, 1996 the Company amended
the original loan agreement extending the maturity date of the existing line of
credit to May 29, 1997. (See Note 3 for further details). The available
balance on the total line of credit was $3,321,000 as of August 12, 1996.
Operating activities used $1.1 million of cash in the first half of 1996.
Accounts receivable decreased $.5 million during the first half of the year due
to a decrease in the number of systems shipped and currently undergoing
acceptance testing.
Inventories decreased $.5 million in the first half of 1996. Total
manufacturing inventories increased $.4 million from the beginning of the year
mainly due to increases required for the third quarter build schedule
including six enhanced Series 9000 systems for the Japanese health ministry.
Customer service inventories increased by $.9 million in the first half of the
year mainly due to depreciation expense and parts usage.
Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $.1 million due to the
amortization of prepaid engineering costs.
Accounts payable decreased $.7 million from December 31, 1995 due to the timing
of receipts of purchased parts offset by the payment of invoices for parts
received in prior periods.
Customer deposits decreased $2.9 million reflective of certain large
international contracts recognized in revenue during the first half of 1996
which included substantial deposits.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
VS. 1995
Net sales increased $.3 million from the first six months of 1995 and increased
1.7 million from the second quarter of 1995 to 1996. Compared to the first
six months last year, North American sales increased $.5 million but were
offset by a decrease in international sales of $.2 million. Despite a
$2 million decline in international sales in the first quarter of 1996, the
second quarter sales in this market rebounded, increasing $1.8 million
compared to 1995. This is mainly due to the sale of seven enhanced
Series 9000's to the Japanese health ministry versus six in 1995 which were
discounted under the terms of a research and development agreement.
Service revenues increased $.3 million from the first six months of 1995 to
1996 and remained consistent for the second quarter of 1995 to 1996. Year to
date, software revenue increased $.3 million which was directly related to the
increase in domestic sales. R&D revenue increased $.2 million due to funding
for a specific development project which began in the third quarter of 1995.
Customer service revenue decreased $.2 million mostly due to the continued
replacement of older ReliaReader equipment with the Company's Series 9000
system. Monthly maintenance on the ReliaReader equipment, predecessor of the
Series 9000, contains surcharges ranging from 10% to 65% based on the age of
the equipment.
Cost of sales increased $.4 million over the first six months of 1996 vs. 1995
and increased $1.1 million from the second quarter of 1995. The year to date
and second quarter increases are a reflection of the increase in sales in 1996.
The gross margin percentage realized for the first six months of 1996
was 29% versus 30% for the same period in 1995. The gross margin percentage
realized for the second quarter of 1996 was 31% compared to 29% for the same
period last year. The increase in percentage is mainly due to a decrease in
the required sales discounts agreed to under research and development
contracts, one of which was completed in the second quarter of 1995.
Marketing and service expenses decreased $.5 million from the first half of
1995 and decreased $.4 million for the second quarter. Year to date, customer
service expenses decreased $.6 million mainly due to staffing decreases,
coupled with a decrease in depreciation expense related to customer service
inventory. Sales and marketing expenses increased $.1 million due to increases
in commission expense reflective of the increase in net sales.
Research and development expenses decreased $.6 million from the first half of
1995 and decreased $.2 million compared to the second quarter of 1995 mainly
due to a decrease in salary expense and fringe benefits resulting from the
corporate downsizing in 1995.
General and administrative expenses increased $.2 million year to date due to
the hiring of the new Chief Operating Officer as well as increases in outside
services.
Interest expense decreased $.2 million year to date due to the significant
decrease in the average outstanding balance for the first half of 1996 which
was $.8 million versus $5.4 million for the same period in 1995.
