NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
      (UNAUDITED)

October 1, 1995

NOTE A  --  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of
the financial position and results of operations have been included.  Operating
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

NOTE B  --  INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  Common equivalent
shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and the
assumed conversion of 13% Convertible Subordinated Debentures when their effect
is dilutive.  If the effect of the assumed conversion of 13% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures is dilutive, net income used to calculate earnings per
share is increased to include the after tax effect of debenture interest assumed
to be forgone.

Net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding, excluding common equivalent shares which
would be antidilutive.

NOTE C  --  INCOME TAXES

At October 1, 1995, the Company had tax loss carryforwards of approximately
$7,100,000 and tax credit carryforwards of approximately $500,000 available to
offset future federal taxable income and operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $9,000,000 and credit carryforwards of approximately $500,000 to
offset future book income.  These carryforwards expire principally in the years
2001-2007.  These carryforwards may be subject to limitations on annual
utilization under current Internal Revenue Service regulations.  Book loss
carryforwards exceed those available for income tax purposes due primarily to
various accruals and reserves not currently deductible.

NOTE D  --  EXTRAORDINARY GAINS

During the quarter ended October 2, 1994, the Company settled its debt
obligations with NationsBank.  The settlement reduced indebtedness and accrued
interest by $468,000 and resulted in a $368,000 extraordinary gain.

During the quarter ended October 1, 1995, the Company purchased $38,000
 ($310,000 in the fiscal 1994 quarter) face amount of its 13% Convertible
 Subordinated Debentures.  The purchases reduced indebtedness and accrued
 interest by $66,000 ($501,000 in the fiscal 1994 quarter) and resulted in a
 $63,000 ($471,000 in the fiscal 1994 quarter) extraordinary gain.

ITEM 2.




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



FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL


The Company operates at the forbearance of its creditors.  It continues to be in
default of debt obligations aggregating $4,575,000 for principal and interest at
October 1, 1995.  The defaults exist because of non-payment of principal and
accrued interest for periods extending back to July 1990.

The Company faces various environmental issues.  The Company had a compliance
deadline of August 2, 1995, to remediate environmental problems at its
Burlington, Massachusetts operating site, currently estimated to cost $350,000
to $600,000.  The Comp any filed a "Financial Inability" notice as required by
the Code of Massachusetts Regulations before the August 1995 compliance
deadline.  If the Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires remediation in spite of
the Company's financial inability to comply, the Company expects it would be
forced to liquidate under Chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The
Company was designated a potentially responsible party ("PRP") by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency at a superfund land fill site in Lowell,
Massachusetts.  The settling PRP group has demanded that the Company pay 10.8%
of the $20,000,000 to $25,000,000 estimated cost of landfill cleanup.  The
Company intends to defend itself against this claim.  In November 1989, the
 Commonwealth of Massachusetts notified the Company that the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection believed that the Company has liability
for hazardous material cleanup at the former subsidiary, Microfab, Inc., site in
Amesbury, Massachusetts.  The Company denies responsibility and liability in the
matter.

The Company has no outside source of financing and does not expect to be able to
obtain any such financing unless and until it eliminates its insolvency and
achieves profitability.

Customer insecurity about the Company's financial condition continues.  The
foregoing factors  and the
Company's operating losses make the Company's financial condition precarious.










                                       9

The Company continues to attempt to settle debt obligations at less than face
amount and has succeeded in reducing the principal amount of its debt in default
from $6,170,000 at June 30, 1990, to $3,100,000 at October 1, 1995.  However,
during that period of time, interest has accrued on the unsettled portion of
debt obligations in default to make the aggregate amount in default at October
1, 1995, $4,575,000.

                               ===========       ==========       ==========

</TABLE>
Settlements to October 1, 1995, have included:  purchases of $2,166,000 face
amount of debentures for $148,000;  settlement of $468,000 of NationsBank debt
obligations for $100,000 and settlement of $438,000 of deferred compensation and
other obligations for $74,000.  Despite these settlements, the Company's overall
efforts since June 30, 1990, to complete a consensual non-bankruptcy debt
restructuring have been unsuccessful.

The Company recorded an operating profit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.
Prior to that the Company recorded an operating loss in every quarter except one
since June 30, 1989.  If the Company is unable to return to consistently
profitable operations, to make satisfactory arrangements with its creditors and
to satisfy its environmental obligations, the Company might be required to seek
protection from its creditors under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

The Company has suffered from the effects of a decrease in the demand for
discrete semiconductor products used in military applications.  The decrease in
demand has resulted in fierce price competition and a shift in sales mix to
commercial products where the Company must compete with large, highly automated
domestic and foreign manufacturers.

The decrease in accounts receivable at October 1, 1995, as compared to June 30,
1995, reflected the lower amount of sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 as
compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 and the higher cash collection
rate in the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

At October 1, 1995, the Company had a deficit in stockholders' equity
aggregating $4,313,000 and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets
by $3,966,000.


                                       10



The Company did not retain independent accountants to audit its fiscal 1993,
1994 and 1995 financial statements because management did not believe the
Company could afford the cost of an audit.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net sales increased 6% or $86,000 from $1,436,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 1995 to $1,522,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Backlog at
October 1, 1995 was $2,429,000 as compared to $1,464,000 the prior year and
$1,868,000 at the end o f the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.  The book-to-bill
ratio for the quarter ended October 1, 1995 was 138% as compared to 91% a year
ago.

Gross profit on sales decreased from $194,000 (14% of sales) for the first
 quarter of fiscal 1995 to $140,000 (9% of sales) for the first quarter of
 fiscal 1996.  The decrease resulted from increases in material and
 manufacturing costs which were not offset by increases in selling prices or
 sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $26,000 to $250,000 for
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from $276,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1995.  The decrease related to a decrease in administrative wages and fringes
that resulted from a reduction in personnel.

Interest expense decreased $20,000 to $78,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1996 as a result of reductions in outstanding debt.

First quarter results for fiscal 1996 included extraordinary gains aggregating
$63,000 from purchases of the Company's 13% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
at discounted amounts.

First quarter results for fiscal 1995 included extraordinary gains aggregating
$839,000 from purchases of the Company's 13% Convertible Subordinated Debentures
and from settlement of the NationsBank debt at discounted amounts.
