(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations
from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be
reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject
report or portion thereof? |X| Yes | | No
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both
narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons
why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
A significant change in financial results between the first quarters ended
September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1996 is expected, due primarily to large
development expenses associated with the launch of a new product (destacker)
application. First shipments of the new application occurred in the quarter
ended September 30,1996, and major development costs for the application were
allocated to the first shipment, which substantially reduced gross margins.
Remaining shipments of the application are expected to contribute normal
margins. In addition, the Company absorbed higher than usual general and
administrative costs during the quarter associated with its acquisition of Atlas
Technologies.
