Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
 
    This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause such
differences include those set forth under "Risk Factors" in the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1, file no. 33-94070.

Results of Operations

    Revenue:  Net revenue for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 was
$26.2 million and $48.2 million, respectively, an increase of 81.3% and 79.2%,
respectively, over the corresponding periods in fiscal 1995.  The increases
resulted from greater market acceptance of, and demand for, the Company's
flexible factory automation systems, from a general expansion of the
semiconductor manufacturing industry which has caused semiconductor
manufacturers to upgrade or expand existing fabrication facilities and to
construct new facilities, and from the Company's strong results from Europe and
the Asia Pacific region.  Net export sales to unaffiliated customers for the
three and six months ended March 31, 1996 were $3.6 million and $8.3 million,
respectively, compared with $1.0 million and $2.1 million, for the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1995, and accounted for 13.9% and 17.3% of net revenue,
respectively, compared with 6.9% and 7.8% for the corresponding periods in
fiscal 1995.

    Gross profit:  The gross profit margin for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1996 was 48.8% and 48.6%, respectively, as compared to 47.7% and 47.6%
for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1995.  The increases are largely
attributable to an increase in sales volume, which permitted increased
utilization of certain fixed and semi-variable components of the manufacturing
overhead cost structure.

    Research and development: Research and development expenses for the three
and six months ended March 31, 1996 were $4.1 million and $7.7 million,
representing 15.6% and 16.0% of net revenue, respectively, compared with
research and development expenses of $2.4 million and $4.4 million, representing
16.5% and 16.3% of net revenue, respectively, for the corresponding periods in
fiscal 1995. The increase in dollar amount primarily reflects an increase in
personnel and materials expense in response to the increasing demand for new
products and new product enhancements. The decrease as a percentage of net
revenue is attributable to the fact that net revenue in fiscal 1996 grew more
rapidly than did research and development expenses.

    Selling, general and administrative:  Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 were $4.0 million and
$7.5 million, representing 15.3% and 15.5% of  net revenue, respectively,
compared with selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.2 million and
$4.1 million, representing 15.0% and 15.1% of  net revenue, respectively, for
the corresponding periods in fiscal 1995. The increase in dollar amount is
primarily due to an increase in personnel, commissions, and related expenses
associated with 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
higher sales volume, expanding marketing, market research and communications
programs, and to increased sales and marketing efforts in the Asia Pacific
region.

    Operating profit: As a result of the foregoing factors, operating profit for
the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 increased to $4.7 million and $8.2
million, respectively, an increase of 98.3% and 88.8%, respectively, over the
corresponding periods in fiscal 1995.

    Other income, net:  Other income, net, for the three and six months ended
March 31, 1996 was $482,000 and $1.1 million respectively, as compared to
$265,000 and $303,000, respectively for the corresponding periods in fiscal
1995. Interest income for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 was
$492,000 and $1.1 million, respectively,  as compared to $277,000 and $490,000
for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1995.  The increases are attributable to
the investment of a  significant portion of the net proceeds from the Company's
public offering of common stock in July 1995 in marketable securities.  Interest
expense for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 was $11,000 and
$19,000, respectively, as compared to $12,000 and $187,000 for the corresponding
periods in fiscal 1995.  A significant portion of the interest expense for the
six months ended March 31, 1995 is attributable to a prepayment charge on the
early retirement of a note in connection with the Company's initial public
offering in October 1994.

    Income tax provision:  The effective tax rate for the three and six months
ended March 31, 1996 was 36.0% and 30.7%, respectively, compared to 34.0% for
each of the corresponding periods in fiscal 1995.  For the three months ended
March 31, 1996, the increase is due primarily to an expected lower proportion of
tax credits due to tax law changes. For the six months ended March 31, 1996 the
decrease is largely attributable to a one-time benefit due to the elimination of
certain valuation allowances placed against certain deferred tax assets, partly
offset by an expected proportion of tax credits due to tax law changes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations primarily through
private equity financings, bank lines of credit, public stock offerings in
October 1994 and July 1995 and cash generated from operations.

    As of March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $77 million,
including cash and cash equivalents of $30 million and short-term marketable
securities of $12 million.

    Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended March 31,
1996 was $4.6 million, compared to $1.5 million for the corresponding period in
1995. The net use of cash in operating activities for the six months ended March
31, 1996 was primarily attributable to an increase in trade accounts receivable
of $3.7 million, resulting from increased shipments; an increase in contracts in
progress of $9.9 million; and an increase in inventory of $3.4 million due to
increased product demand. These uses of cash were offset in part by an increase
in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings of $2.9 million; an
increase in income taxes payable of $1.3 million; a decrease of other current
assets of $900,000, and net income of $6.5 million. The net use of cash in
operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was primarily
attributable to an increase in trade accounts receivable of $6.0 million
resulting from increased shipments and an increase in inventory of $1.5 million
due to increased product demand, offset in part by a reduction of other current
assets of $1.1 million, an increase in billings in excess of costs and estimated
earnings of $1.6 million and net income of $3.1 million.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
    Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended March 1996
was $3.9 million as compared to $743,000 for the corresponding period in 1995.
The increase is largely attributable to investments in computers and peripherals
associated with an increase in employees.

    Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31,
1996 was $520,000 as compared to $23.0 million for the corresponding period in
fiscal 1995.  Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended
March 31, 1996 was attributable to the exercise of stock options and issuance of
common stock pursuant to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan.  Net cash
provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 1995 was due
primarily to $26.7 million of net proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering, net of application of a portion of these proceeds to repayments of
borrowings.

    Since December 31, 1995, the Company has had no borrowings under its working
capital line of credit from the Bank. The line of credit enabled the Company to
borrow or grant letters of credit on an unsecured basis up to the lesser of 80%
of eligible accounts receivable or $5,000,000 in revolving loans, with
outstanding borrowings under revolving loans bearing interest at the Bank's
prime lending rate. The ability of the Company to effect borrowings under such
line of credit is conditioned upon, among other things, the Company meeting
certain financial covenants, including covenants requiring the maintenance of
specific levels of quarterly and annual earnings, working capital, tangible net
worth, debt service coverage and liquidity. The Company could elect to convert
revolving loans into loans bearing interest at 2.25% above the Bank's cost of
funds. The working capital line of credit expired on March 1, 1996, and the
Company is in the process of negotiating an extension of the line of credit or
the establishment of a new lending facility with the Bank.

    The Company believes that anticipated cash flow from operations, and
existing cash and marketable securities balances will be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash requirements to fund operations and expected capital expenditures
during the next twelve months.
