Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          -------------------------------------------------
          Condition and Results of Operations
          -----------------------------------


Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Requirements
- ------------------------------------------------------

The Company's cash requirements are currently being funded through operations
coupled with the proceeds of bank financing.

In January 1998, the Company revised the credit facility with its commercial
bank.  The new credit facility is for a $6,000,000 revolving line of credit.
The Company has the option to convert to a term loan up to $1,000,000 of the
line of credit for the purchase of capital equipment, which if exercised reduces
the line of credit by the amount converted.  The rate of interest for both the
term loan option and revolving line of credit are based on current LIBOR rates
plus a variable percentage based on the Company's quarterly cash flow
performance.  Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company is required to
maintain certain minimum financial ratios as defined in the credit facility
agreement and is prohibited from paying dividends.

Operating activities provided $914,053 in cash for the three month period ending
February 28, 1998 versus $1,094,010 in cash flows for the comparable period in
1997.  Approximately $217,160 was generated from depreciation net of the loss
during the fiscal 1998 period.  A decrease in accounts receivable of $2,032,812
was partially offset by an increase in inventories of $1,248,022, a decrease in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $91,288, and an increase in prepaid
expenses of $12,661.
 
For the three months ended February 28, 1998, the Company repaid $499,721 on its
line of credit and $173,335 of its long term debt.

The Company requires substantial capital for research and development and
inventories.  Although there were significant capital expenditures of
$1,214,818 during the Company's 1997 first quarter for its new facility, 1998
first quarter capital expenditures decreased to $323,352. Management of the
Company believes that based on its current available bank credit facility,
coupled with working capital generated by operations, it has sufficient funding
to meet the Company's capital requirements for the immediate future.

Year 2000 Exposure

Many information systems have been designed to function based on years that
begin with 19.  The Company believes that it has taken the necessary steps to
ensure that the Company's business operations and systems will not be materially
adversely affected by the year 2000 problem and that no material expenditures
will be required with respect to such problem.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                        

Net sales for the three months ended February 28, 1998 increased 32% as compared
to the same period in fiscal 1997. This is the result of an increase of sales to
the semiconductor capital equipment manufacturers for the first 3 months of
fiscal year 1998.  During the corresponding period of fiscal 1997, the Company's
revenues were negatively affected by a downturn in the semiconductor industry
that began in 1996.

Cost of products sold amounted to 62% and 67% of sales for the three month
period ending February 28, 1998 and February 28, 1997, respectively.  The
increase in gross profit is primarily the result of higher absorbed labor and
overhead costs due to the higher production volume.

Research and development expenses were 16% and 14% of sales for the three month
period ending February 28, 1998 and February 28, 1997, respectively. The
increase is due primarily to support the development of new products, including
the high power Hercules, Atlas RF generators and Mercury series electronically
tuned matching networks.

Selling and administrative expenses were 22% and 24% of sales for the three
month period ending February 28, 1998 and February 28, 1997, respectively. This
decrease was caused primarily by a large portion of fixed selling and
administrative expenses related to a higher sales volume.

The Company's effective tax rate was 32% and 38% for the three month periods
ending February 28, 1998 and February 28, 1997,  respectively.  This decrease
was caused primarily by an increase in the R & D credit.
