1.     INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       The accompanying unaudited, condensed, consolidated financial statements
       for the three and six month periods ended December 25, 1999 have been
       prepared in accordance with the instructions for SEC Form 10-Q and,
       accordingly, do not include all disclosures 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, have been
       included.

       Interim unaudited financial results should be read in conjunction with
       the audited financial statements included in the SEC Annual Report, Form
       10-K/A, for the fiscal year ended June 26, 1999.

       The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 25,
       1999 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be
       expected for the full year.

2.     EARNINGS PER SHARE

       Earnings per share are computed in accordance with Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings
       per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares
       outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share include the
       dilutive effect of common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise
       of stock options and warrants outstanding. The following table reconciles
       the denominators used in computing basic and diluted earnings per share:

3.     REPORTING OF COMPREHENSIVE NET INCOME OR (LOSS)

       In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
       Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive
       Income" which establishes standards for the reporting and display of
       comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of
       general-purpose financial statements. Under this standard, certain
       revenues, expenses, gains, and losses recognized during the period are
       included in comprehensive income (loss), regardless of whether they are
       considered to be results of operations of the period. During the three
       and six month periods ended December 25, 1999 and December 26, 1998 total
       comprehensive income (loss) equaled net income (loss) as reported on the
       Consolidated Statements of Operations.

4.     ACQUISITIONS

       On June 29, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
       liabilities of the Systems Integration unit of FICO America, Inc.,
       forming the Infinity Systems Division of the Company to develop and
       implement Manufacturing Execution Systems ("MES") and factory control
       systems to customers in the semiconductor industry. The acquisition was
       accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the net assets acquired
       were recorded at their estimated fair market value at the effective date
       of the acquisition. The purchase price and the pro forma impact on fiscal
       1999 results were not material to the company.

       On September 18, 1999, the Company entered into a definitive merger
       agreement to acquire Aseco Corporation, a Massachusetts based
       manufacturer of handling equipment. The acquisition is structured as a
       stock for stock purchase. Were the merger to be effective January 26,
       2000, the value of the acquisition would approximate $27.0 million,
       subject to adjustment under certain terms of the agreement. The Joint
       Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 was declared effective by the
       Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 1999. The Board of
       Directors of both companies has approved the agreement. The MCT and Aseco
       shareholders, at separate meetings, are scheduled to vote on the
       acquisition on January 31, 2000. Pending shareholder approval, the merger
       is scheduled to close on January 31, 2000, immediately following the
       shareholders' meetings.

                 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 25, 1999

Net sales for the second quarter fiscal 2000, ended December 25, 1999, increased
$2.6 million or 85.0% to $5.6 million compared to $3.0 million for the same
period the previous year. The increase in sales in the second quarter of the
current year is attributed to the general improvement in the semiconductor
capital equipment market, which was in a significant downturn in the prior year.
Sales of the Company's newest products, the MCT 5100, MCT 7632 and MCT Tapestry
handling systems and automation software increased $1.9 million or 103.5% over
prior year levels. Sales of these new products represented 65.9% of total net
sales in the current quarter compared to 59.9% in the prior year. Sales of
existing products increased by $0.7 million or 57.4% over the same period a year
ago. The Company expects its newest products to continue to account for a
significant portion of the Company's total revenues in the future.

Gross profit for the second quarter fiscal 2000 increased by $1.5 million to
$3.0 million, or 53.4% of sales, from $1.4 million, or 48.0% of sales, for the
second quarter fiscal 1999. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributed
to increased manufacturing efficiencies and utilization of overhead costs in the
current period and changes in product mix. Increased efficiencies and
utilization of overhead costs account for approximately two-thirds of the
increase in gross margin. The remaining increase is attributed to changes in
product mix. In addition, increased margins from sales during the current period
of products that had been previously written off were offset by increased
warranty costs related to upgrading older products to current version levels.
Gross margins are expected to be comparable to year-to-date levels, depending on
product mix, in the foreseeable future periods.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter fiscal 2000
was $2.2 million, or 38.5% of sales, compared to $1.4 million, or 47.4% of sales
for the same quarter in fiscal 1999. The reduction as a percentage of sales is
the result of increased sales during the quarter compared to the prior year
quarter. The increase in spending compared to the second quarter of 1999 is
attributed to increased direct selling costs of $0.3 million related to
increased sales revenues and increased commissions of $0.1 million resulting
from a shift in customer mix to a higher level of customers served by
commissioned independent sales representatives. The remainder relates to
increased expenses, primarily personnel expenses, in supporting the sales growth
during the second quarter.

Research and development expense for the second quarter fiscal 2000 was $0.8
million, or 14.6% of sales, compared to $0.6 million, or 19.7% of sales in the
previous year. The increase in the current quarter resulted from increased
spending requirements related to R&D projects in process and initiated during
this period. Compared to the second quarter fiscal 1999, personnel and contract
labor expenses increased by $0.2 million or 36.9%. The Company expects to
continue to invest in new product development at levels comparable to or
slightly higher than current quarter levels, based upon the projected needs of
current and anticipated development projects.

Net interest income for the second quarter fiscal 2000 was $12,000 compared to
$26,000 in the previous year. The reduction in net interest income is due to
decreased holdings of interest bearing cash equivalents.



                                       8
<PAGE>

Net income for the second quarter fiscal 2000 was $15,000 or $0.00 per share as
compared to a net loss of $576,000, or $0.08 per share for the second quarter
fiscal 1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 25, 1999

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 2000 increased $4.6 million or
69.5% to $11.3 million compared to $6.7 million for the same period the prior
year. The increase in sales for the first six months is attributed to the
general improvement in the semiconductor capital equipment market, which was in
a significant downturn in the prior year. Sales of the Company's newest
products, the MCT 5100, MCT 7632 and MCT Tapestry handling systems and
automation software increased $5.2 million or 193.6% over prior year levels.
Sales of these new products represented 70.0% of total net sales for the first
six months compared to 40.4% in the prior year. Sales of existing products
decreased by $0.6 million or 14.8% over the same period a year ago. The Company
expects its newest products to continue to account for a significant portion of
the Company's total revenues in the future.

Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal 2000 increased $2.7 million to
$5.9 million or 52.0% of sales, from $3.2 million or 47.6% of sales for the same
period a year ago. The increase in gross margin is primarily attributed to
increased manufacturing efficiencies and utilization of overhead costs in the
current period. Gross margins are expected to be comparable to year-to-date
levels, depending on product mix, in the foreseeable future periods.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the first six months of fiscal
2000 was $4.3 million, or 37.8% of sales, compared to $3.2 million, or 47.1% of
sales for the same period in fiscal 1999. The reduction as a percentage of sales
is the result of increased sales during the period compared to the prior year.
The increase in spending compared to 1999 is attributed to increased direct
selling costs of $0.4 million related to increased sales revenues and increased
commissions of $0.3 million resulting from a shift in customer mix to a higher
level of customers served by commissioned independent sales representatives. The
remainder relates to increased expenses, primarily personnel expenses, in
supporting the sales growth.

Research and development expense for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was
$1.5 million, or 13.1% of sales, compared to $1.4 million, or 21.4% of sales in
the same period in the previous year. The increase compared to the previous year
resulted from increased spending requirements related to R&D projects in process
and initiated during this period.

The Company generated net interest income during the current year of $23,000
compared to $43,000 in the previous year. The reduction in net interest income
is due to decreased holdings of interest bearing cash equivalents.

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was $145,000 or $0.02 per
share as compared to a net loss of $1.4 million or $0.19 per share for the
second quarter fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 25, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.6
million compared to $1.9 million at June 26, 1999. Cash used in operations was
$138,000 during the first six months of the current year, versus $228,000 used
in the same period of the previous year. An increase in working capital assets,
supporting the growth in sales, more than offset net income during the current
period. In the prior year the net loss was offset by a reduction in working
capital assets associated with the downturn in the semiconductor capital
equipment market.

Current assets at December 25, 1999 were $10.0 million, the current ratio was
2.8 and working capital was $6.4 million, versus $9.3 million, 3.1 and $6.3
million, respectively, at June 26, 1999.

Net cash used in investing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2000
was $0.3 million compared to $19,000 in the previous year. The Company used
$261,000 to acquire certain fixed and intangible assets related to the formation
of the Infinity Systems Division of the Company.

The Company maintains a $5 million secured line of credit with a bank, which was
unused at December 25, 1999 and June 26, 1999. The amount available for
borrowing is calculated as a percentage of eligible accounts receivable and
inventory, and amounted to approximately $2.8 million at December 25, 1999.

The Company's capital needs for the remainder of fiscal 2000, prior to
acquisitions, are expected to be comparable to prior year levels and
concentrated in development of additional handler products and upgrading its
management information systems. The Company has used and expects to use funds
for the business acquisitions described in Item 5. Management believes that cash
and cash equivalents on hand at December 25, 1999, and funds available through
its bank line of credit are sufficient to finance such acquisitions and sustain
the Company's continuing operations at the projected level for the foreseeable
future. Management believes that it will be able to raise additional capital
and/or negotiate an increase to its bank line of credit at terms acceptable to
the Company if required, but no assurance can be made that such financing will
be available if needed. The Company may acquire other companies, product lines
or technologies that are complementary to the Company's business and the
Company's working capital needs may change as a result of such acquisitions.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

Many currently installed computer systems and software products are coded to
accept only two-digit entries in the date code field. When year 2000 begins,
these computers may interpret "00" as the year 1900 and could either stop
processing date related computations or could process them incorrectly.
Beginning in the year 2000, these date code fields will need to accept
four-digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates to
be year 2000 compliant.

The Company completed a review of its internal information systems and
determined that most of the application software and internal information
systems, other than the Company's primary manufacturing and accounting system:
(1) are year 2000 compliant; (2) can be upgraded to be year 2000 compliant
without significant cost or effort; or, (3) do not pose a significant issue to
the



                                       10

Company if left uncorrected. With regard to the Company's primary manufacturing
and accounting system, the Company contracted with the software vendor and
related hardware supplier to make these systems year 2000 compliant. The upgrade
was completed in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. All other significant
application software, hardware and internal information systems which were
identified as not year 2000 compliant have been upgraded or replaced. Total
costs to upgrade the Company's internal information systems, most of which have
been paid, are not material to the operations of the Company, and are expected
to be less than $100,000.

The Company has completed an assessment of non-IT systems within the Company to
determine if they are year 2000 compliant. The Company has upgraded or replaced
all significant non-IT systems that were identified as not year 2000 compliant.
Although the Company is not aware of any material operational issues or costs
associated with preparing its internal systems for the year 2000, there can be
no assurance that the Company will not experience serious unanticipated negative
consequences and/or material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the
technology used in its internal operating systems, which are composed
predominately of third party software and hardware technology.

The Company has completed its process of determining the impact of third parties
suppliers and vendors that are not year 2000 compliant. Non-compliance by any of
the Company's major distributors, suppliers, customers, vendors, or financial
organizations could result in business disruptions that could have a material
adverse affect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial
condition. To date, the Company is not aware of any such third parties with year
2000 issues that would materially impact the Company's results of operations,
liquidity or financial condition.

The Company completed an assessment and test of the software components of its
products for year 2000 compliance, and determined that no significant
modifications are required to products currently offered or actively marketed
within the past five years. The Company does not believe that its products
contain undetected errors or defects associated with year 2000 date functions
that may result in material costs to the Company, including repair costs and
costs incurred in litigation due to any such defects; however, there can be no
assurance that such errors or defects do not exist. Many commentators have
stated that a significant amount of litigation will arise out of year 2000
compliance issues. Because of the unprecedented nature of such litigation, there
can be no assurance that the Company will not be materially adversely affected
by claims related to year 2000 compliance.

The Company has completed its contingency plan to cover any potential year 2000
operating issues. The worst-case scenario is that Year 2000 problems would
render its computer systems operating its core business functions
non-operational. In this event, the contingency plan has identified alternative
methods of operating and accomplishing these core business functions through the
use of paper back-up files and manual information handling. This should minimize
the Company's exposure to work slowdowns or business disruptions and any adverse
effects on its results of operations.

IMPACT OF ACCOUNTING STANDARDS



                                       11
<PAGE>

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" was issued. SFAS No. 133 establishes a new model for accounting for
derivatives and hedging activities and supersedes and amends a number of
existing accounting standards. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivatives be
recognized in the balance sheet at their fair market value, and the
corresponding derivative gains or losses be either reported in the statement of
operations or as a deferred item depending on the type of hedge relationship
that exists with respect to such derivative. Management has not yet completed an
assessment of the impact of adopting the provisions of SFAS No. 133 on the
Company's financial statements. The standard is effective for the Company in
fiscal 2001.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the quarter ended December 25, 1999, the Company issued the following
unregistered securities:

On December 7, 1999, the Company issued 16,638 shares of common stock pursuant
to the exercise of 50,942 warrants. There were no proceeds from the conversion
of the warrants to common stock as it was a cashless transaction. The shares
were issued to Guaranty Finance Management Corporation. The Company paid no
discounts or commissions.

The securities issued are exempt from registration pursuant to section 4(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933 because the exercise was limited to a single
sophisticated investor having access to current information about the Company.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

On June 29, 1999, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain
liabilities of the Systems Integration unit of FICO America, Inc., forming the
Infinity Systems Division of the Company to develop and implement Manufacturing
Execution Systems ("MES") and factory control systems to customers in the
semiconductor industry. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and
accordingly, the net assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair
market value at the effective date of the acquisition. The purchase price and
pro forma impact on fiscal 1999 results were not material to the company.

On September 18, 1999, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to
acquire Aseco Corporation, a Massachusetts based manufacturer of handling
equipment. The acquisition is structured as a stock for stock purchase. Were the
merger to be effective January 26, 2000, the value of the acquisition would
approximate $27.0 million, subject to adjustment under certain terms of the
agreement. The Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus on Form S-4 was declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 30, 1999. The
Board of Directors of both companies has approved the agreement. The MCT and
Aseco shareholders, at separate meetings, are scheduled to vote on the
acquisition on January 31, 2000. Pending shareholder approval, the merger is
scheduled to close on January 31, 2000, immediately following the shareholders'
meetings.
