</TABLE>

   Total sales increased 20% in the current quarter, compared to the comparable
quarter of the prior year and were virtually the same as the previous quarter.
The increase in the current quarter sales compared to the comparable quarter of
the prior year was primarily attributable to an increased number of units
shipped in three of the Companies four product areas.  Low-power component sales
in the current quarter increased 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
34% over the comparable quarter of the prior year and 10% over the previous
quarter primarily due to increasing demand for the Company's surface mount
resonator products, which for the first time exceeded shipments of older style
leaded resonator products. Low-power Virtual Wire(R) radio systems sales in the
current quarter increased 62% over the comparable quarter of the prior year and
filter sales increased 81% in the same time period. Sales increases for low-
power Virtual Wire(R) radio system and filter products resulted from continued
increase in demand for newer products that have a higher value added content.

     Sales of frequency control modules products decreased 64% from the
comparable quarter of the prior year and 56% from the previous quarter,
primarily due to a decrease in both units shipped and average selling price.
Sales in this product line were adversely impacted by softness in demand from
customers in computer markets. This product area has not yet seen the impact of
a new line of clock oscillator products intended for this market.

     International sales (primarily in Europe and Asia) were approximately 52%,
50% and 50% of the Company's sales during the current quarter, the comparable
quarter of the prior year and the previous quarter, respectively.  The Company
considers all product sales with a delivery destination outside of North America
to be international sales.  These sales are denominated primarily in U.S.
currency.  The Company intends to continue its focus on international sales in
the future and expects that international sales will continue to represent a
significant portion of its business.  There can be no assurance, however, that
this can be achieved.

     The Company's top five customers accounted for approximately 25%, 32% and
28% of the Company's sales in the current quarter, the comparable quarter of the
prior year and the previous quarter, respectively. The reduction in the relative
portion of the revenues to the Company's top five customers from the comparable
quarter of the prior year to the current quarter was primarily a result of sales
to an increased number of customers, particularly customers for new products.

     While the Company has achieved sales increases in prior periods, there can
be no assurance that this can be achieved in future periods. The Company's
success is highly dependent on achieving technological advantages in its product
design and manufacturing capabilities, as well as its ability to sell its
products in a competitive marketplace that can be influenced by outside factors
such as economic and regulatory conditions. The Company experiences increased
competition from companies that offer alternative solutions such as phased lock
loop technology or aggressive product pricing. There can be no assurance that
competition from alternative technologies or from competitors duplicating the
Company's technologies will not adversely affect selling prices and market
share.

GROSS PROFIT

     The current quarter gross margin of 39.6% increased from 34.9% in the
comparable quarter of the prior year, primarily reflecting improved gross
margins for both of the Company's low-power products lines, components and
Virtual Wire(R) radio systems. For both product lines, substantial reductions in
average selling prices resulting from increased price competition were more than
offset by reductions in per unit manufacturing costs. The reduction in per unit
manufacturing costs resulted from continued improvements in yield and labor
productivity, purchasing cost reductions and an increase in the number of units
produced, allowing for fixed overhead expenses to be spread over a larger number
of units. The increase in gross margin for the low-power product lines was
partially offset by a reduction in gross margins for frequency control module
and filter products resulting from lower average selling prices created by
competitive pressures. There can be no assurance that lower average selling
prices resulting from competitive pressures

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
will continue to be offset by reductions in per unit manufacturing cost. If
average selling prices decline more than per unit manufacturing costs, the
Company's gross profit margin would be adversely affected.

     More recently, the gross margin in the current quarter was 39.6%, compared
to 40% in the previous quarter. The slight reduction in gross margin from the
previous quarter resulted from the fact that the decrease in average selling
prices for the Company's products caused by competitive pressures was slightly
greater than the reduction in the Company's per unit manufacturing costs.

     The Company has in the past experienced sudden increases in demand which
have put pressure on its manufacturing facilities to increase capacity to meet
this demand. In addition, new products sometimes require different manufacturing
processes than the Company currently possesses. The Company has devoted the bulk
of its capital expenditures increasing capacity and improving its manufacturing
processes. There can be no assurance that the Company can continue to increase
its manufacturing capacity and improve its manufacturing processes in a timely
manner so as to take advantage of increased market demand. Failure to do this
would result in a loss of potential sales in the periods impacted.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

     Research and development expenses in the current quarter increased
approximately $150,000, or 20%, over the comparable quarter of the prior year.
These costs increased due to the Company's increase in staffing for these
activities and in other product development costs.  The Company believes that
the continued development of its technology and new products is essential to its
success and is committed to continue its investment in research and development.
The Company expects that research and development expenses will increase in
absolute dollars in future periods.

SALES AND MARKETING

     Current quarter sales and marketing expenses increased approximately
$326,000, or 32%, from the prior comparable period, primarily due to increased
sales commissions, increased staffing and increased marketing costs needed to
support the Company's increased sales.  Since sales and marketing expenses
increased faster than sales, these expenses increased to 14% of sales in the
current quarter, compared to 12% of sales in the comparable quarter of the prior
year.  The Company expects to incur higher sales and marketing expenses in
absolute dollars in future periods as it expands its sales and marketing
efforts.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

     General and administrative expenses for the current quarter increased
approximately $64,000, or 10%, from the prior comparable period.  Such increase
was primarily attributable to increased support for the Company's expansion.
Since sales increased faster than general and administrative expenses, such
expenses decreased to 7% of total sales in the current quarter, compared to 8%
of total sales in the comparable quarter of the prior year.  The Company expects
general and administrative expenses will increase in absolute dollars in future
periods.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

     Income from operations was $1,016,000, or 10% of total sales in the current
quarter, compared to $509,000 or 6% of sales in the comparable quarter of the
prior year.  The increase in income for operations in both absolute dollars and
percent of sales reflects the increase in gross profit and gross margin.  The
increase in gross profit was partially offset by an increase in operating
expenses, particularly for research and development and sales and marketing
expenses related to product and market development activities.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE

     The Company's income tax expense was $368,000 in the current quarter,
compared to $186,000 in the comparable quarter of the prior year, reflecting the
comparable income before income taxes for the respective periods.

NET INCOME

     Net income increased 115% to $600,000 in the current quarter, compared to
$279,000 for comparable quarter of the prior year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The principal sources of liquidity at November 30, 1996, consisted of $7.3
million of cash and short-term investments and $7.5 million of unused credit
facilities.  These credit facilities include $4.0 million unused under a line of
credit agreement with a commercial bank which expires December 31, 1997, and
$3.5 million in an equipment-collateralized term lease facility with a
commercial bank.  The credit facilities contain restrictions and financial
covenants relating to various matters, including net worth, interest coverage
and levels of debt compared to tangible net worth.  As of November 30, 1996, the
Company was in compliance with such restrictions and covenants.

     Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.2 million and $.6 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Increased cash
generated from operations was primarily due to an increase in net income and
non-cash items included in net income for the comparable periods.

     Cash used in investing activities was $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the
first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively, primarily as a result of
capital expenditures.  The Company expects to acquire a total of approximately
$4 million to $7 million of capital equipment by the end of fiscal 1997,
consisting primarily of equipment needed for its manufacturing facilities.  Some
of this equipment may be acquired under the equipment-collateralized operating
lease facility.

     Net cash generated from financing activities was $.6 million and $1.3
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively. These
activities primarily related to the borrowings in support of the capital
equipment acquisitions offset by payments on these borrowings.

     The Company believes that cash generated from operations, if any, banking
facilities and the $7.3 million balance in cash and short-term investments will
be sufficient to meet the Company's operating cash requirements through the rest
of the fiscal year.  To the extent that these sources of funds are insufficient
to meet the Company's capital requirements, the Company may be required to raise
additional funds.  No assurance can be given that additional financing will be
available or, if available, that it will be available on acceptable terms.

ITEM 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

(a)  Exhibits.  The Company hereby incorporates by reference all exhibits filed
     in connection with Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1996.

(b)  The Company did not file any reports on Form 8-K during the quarter ended

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
