NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information, and all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  
Operating results for the three-month period ended August 31, 1997 are not 
necessarily indicative of the results that may be experienced for the fiscal 
year ending May 31, 1998.

These financial statements are those of the Company and its wholly owned 
subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have 
been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.  
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current 
year presentation.  Such reclassifications had no affect on previously 
reported results, operations or stockholders' equity.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations:

The following information contains certain forward-looking statements that 
anticipate future trends or events.  These statements are based on certain 
assumptions that may prove to be erroneous and are subject to certain risks 
including but not limited to the uncertainties of the Company's new product 
introductions and the risks of increased competition and technological change 
in the Company's industry.  Accordingly, actual results may differ, possibly 
materially, from the predictions contained herein.

Company operations improved during the first quarter of fiscal 1998, ended 
August 31, 1997, as evidenced by increases in sales and profit levels.  Sales 
have increased in the United Kingdom, Germany and other world markets during 
the first quarter of this fiscal year.  Management expects these increased 
sales trends to continue.

During the first quarter ended August 31, 1997, the Company continued to sell 
TMS-2000 non-contact laser texture measurement systems (TMS 2000) to the 
computer hard drive market.  The Company has secured additional orders for 
these new products and expects substantial delivery during the balance of 
fiscal year 1998.  Sales of the TMS series products have been made pursuant 
to an exclusive marketing agreement with Veeco (NASDAQ:  VECO).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased to $2,666,941 versus 
$1,793,698 in the same period last year.  This 49% increase was caused by 
gains in orders from both domestic and international customers.  Management 
believes sales increases resulted from improved marketing coverage and 
advertising and the weakening of domestic competitors.  Additionally, SMS 
sales accounted for $679,460 of the first quarter sales, as compared to 
$460,754 in first quarter 1997 SMS sales.

First quarter cost-of-sales increased to 44% of sales versus 40% in the same 
period last year.  The continued sales of TMS-2000 products during the first 
quarter had a positive impact on gross earnings and net earnings.  
Cost-of-sales of SMS products was 47% for the first quarter 1998 versus 46% 
in the same period last year.  Management expects SMS cost-of-sales for 
fiscal 1998 to be approximately 40%.

Three-month general and administrative expenses totaled $1,076,211 versus 
$843,878 for the same period last year.  This increase is attributable 
primarily to the increased sales level this year.  The expansion in 
advertising, sales training costs, computer purchases and employee salaries 
continued.  Also, an increasing percentage of the Company's products are 
being sold through commissioned agents and salesmen, as compared with last 
year, a trend management expects to continue.  The acquisition of Schmitt 
Hofmann Systems GmbH ("SHS") and Schmitt Europe Ltd. ("SEL") added to ongoing 
operating expenses.

Sales by the German subsidiary, SHS, totaled $478,873 for the quarter, with 
SEL reporting $104,834 in sales for the period.  These sales levels met 
management's expectations and resulted from intensive efforts expended during 
this quarter in Germany and the United Kingdom to expand sales levels.  The 
quarter included operating losses for SEL of $48,361 and non-recurring losses 
at SHS of $41,735.

                                    FORM 10-Q



General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales during the first 
three months of fiscal 1998 were 40% compared to 47% for the same period last 
year.  Management estimates these costs will stabilize at approximately 36% 
for fiscal 1998, down from 41% for fiscal 1997 and 44% in fiscal year 1996.

In the three-month period ended August 31, 1997 pretax earnings totaled 
$530,551 versus $251,276 for the same period last year.  Taxes were accrued 
at approximately a 33% rate compared with 44% in the same period last year. 
Management anticipates that the tax rate for fiscal 1998 will approximate 30%.

Three-month net earnings were $354,551 versus $140,276 for the same period 
last year.  Three-month earnings per share were $0.05 versus $0.02 last year. 
Primary EPS and Common Stock Equivalent were $0.05 versus $0.02 last year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The Company increased its working capital position slightly during the first 
quarter while still financing  the growth of the new SMS products and 
inventory. Working capital totaled $5,403,155 at August 31, 1997 versus 
$5,110,000 at May 31, 1997 fiscal year end.  Corporate cash and marketable 
securities levels stood at $1,688,286 at August 31, 1997. 

During the three-month period ended August 31, 1997 net cash provided by 
operating activities totaled $642,507, including net operating earnings of 
$354,551.  Included in cash flow from operations was a $308,880 increase in 
inventory.  During the period, accounts receivable decreased by $990,592 and 
marketable securities and commercial paper increased by $450,000.

The decrease in accounts receivable occurred because of the lower sales 
during the three-month period ended August 31, 1997 compared with the last 
three months of fiscal year 1997.  As a result of its high-quality customer 
base, the Company has experienced near 100% collection and no reserve for 
uncollectable accounts, returns or allowances has been established.  Net cash 
used by investing activities was $99,796, which was used for the acquisition 
of capital assets, etc.  Net cash used by financing activities was $0.00.

Management believes that cash from operations, available credit resources and 
its improving cash position will provide adequate funds on a short-term basis 
to cover currently foreseeable debt payments, lease commitments and payments 
under existing and anticipated supplier agreements.  Management believes that 
such cash flow is also sufficient to finance current short-term operations, 
projected capital expenditures, anticipated short-term sales agreements and 
other contingencies during at least the next six months.

Management is currently reviewing long-range capital requirements as they 
relate to expansion of products and markets.  This analysis may or may not 
result in future decisions to seek additional funding for the Company via 
debt or equity to service the Companies future growth requirements.
