  The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $2,350
during the first three months of fiscal 1996 from $571 at the end
of fiscal 1995.  The increase resulted from cash provided by
operating activities totalling $2,303 and proceeds of $1 from the
sale of treasury stock in connection with the employee stock option
plan.  Partially offsetting the increase in cash and cash
equivalents was the repayments of long-term debt of $7 and the
revolving credit loan payable to bank of $500, and purchases of
equipment of $18.  Funds used by operating activities during the

Liquidity and Capital Resources - $(000's) (Continued) 
first three months of fiscal 1995 were $2,212. 
 The Company has a three-year, $5,000 committed revolving credit
facility with an original expiration date of July 31, 1996;
however, during April, 1995 the Company's principal bank extended
the expiration date of the revolving credit facility to July 31,
1997.  The revolving credit facility is secured by a lien position
on accounts receivable and land and buildings and contains various
restrictive covenants relating to additional indebtedness, asset
acquisitions or dispositions, and maintenance of certain financial
ratios.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants during
fiscal 1996 or had obtained appropriate waivers from the lender. 
During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company repaid its
borrowings under the revolving credit facility.            
  On March 31, 1992, the Company concluded the aquisition of all of
the outstanding capital stock of BT Systems, Inc. ("BT Systems"),
a U.S. corporation, from its Swedish parent company, BT Systems AB,
for $2,000.  The Company paid $1,000 in cash and issued a 6% note
for $1,000, which was paid on March 31, 1993.  The acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase.   
  During fiscal 1995, the Company announced the sale of its AGVS
product line to Apogee Robotics, Inc. as previously described in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. 
  The Company has not accepted new AGVS contracts since October 6,
1994 but remains liable to complete existing AGVS contracts.  The
Company believes that it will be able to complete existing
contracts and presently anticipates continuing the sale of parts
and other services (aftermarket business) relative to AGVS.
  On May 11, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company declared
a cash dividend of ten cents ($.10) per share, reflecting
confidence in the favorable impact of the actions taken relative to
AGVS and the fiscal 1995 Corporate restructuring and the increase
in the backlog of business at February 26, 1995 versus the prior
year end.
  The Company anticipates that its financial resources consisting
of its current assets, anticipated cash flow, and the available
revolving credit facility will adequately finance its operating
requirements in the foreseeable future, including the effects of
the rescinded Apogee transaction.
  The Company plans to consider expansion opportunities as they
arise, although ongoing operating results of the Company, the
economics of the expansion, and the circumstances justifying the
expansion will be key factors in determining the amount of
resources the Company will devote to further expansion.  At this
time, the Company does not have any material capital commitments.

Results of Operations - $(000's)
  Three Months Ended May 28, 1995 vs. Three Months Ended May 29,  
  1994     
  The Company's net income for the first quarter of fiscal 1996 was
$350 compared to net income of $5 for the first quarter of fiscal
1995.  Net sales of $6,097 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996
decreased 21.6% compared to net sales of $7,779 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.  The sales decrease in fiscal 1996 is
primarily attributable to a decline in AGVS sales due to the
Company's reduced emphasis on the AGVS product line with selling
efforts currently being aimed at the AGVS parts and service
(aftermarket) business.
  Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.1% for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to 19.0% for the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.  The increase in gross profit percentage for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 is primarily attributable to a change in mix
favoring the Company's traditional products such as Order Selection
and Cartrac.  Contributing to the lower gross profit percentage in
the fiscal 1995 comparable period were difficulties in executing
and concluding several AGVS contracts as additional costs became
necessary to meet contractual throughput and durability
requirements. 
     Product development costs of $105 were higher by $25 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 than in the comparable fiscal 1995
period.  Development programs in the first quarter of fiscal 1996
included improvements to the Order Selection and Sortation product
lines, with particular emphasis aimed at the Accupic Pick-To-Light
and Small Parcel Sortation Systems.  Development programs in the
first quarter of fiscal 1995 included improvements to the AGVS and
Order Selection product lines.
     Selling, general, and administrative expenses of $1,159 were
lower by $241 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 than in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.  The favorable variance is due to a
reduction in overhead expenses pertaining to the Company's
Automated Guided Vehicle Systems product line which was sold
effective August 26, 1994 and later rescinded. Also contributing 
to the favorable variance was the cost improvement measure of
manpower reductions associated with restructuring the Company's 
operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.
     Interest income of $25 was higher by $23 in the first quarter
of fiscal 1996 than in the comparable fiscal 1995 period.  The
increase in interest income is primarily attributable to the higher
level of funds available for short-term investments during fiscal
1996.
     The favorable variance in other expense (income), net, is
primarily attributable to the improved performance of its joint

venture company, SI/BAKER. 
     The Company incurred income tax expense of $65 during the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to income tax expense of $3
in the comparable fiscal 1995 period.  During the first quarter of
fiscal 1996, income tax expense was less than the statutory rate of
34% due to the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax
assets which are anticipated to be realizable due to the projected
profitability of the Company.
