RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjuction with the attached
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with the Company's
audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999.

FISCAL QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999

NET SALES

Net sales were $4.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
$3.4 million in the first fiscal quarter of 1999, an increase of 38.2% or $1.3
million.

MEASURING AND INSPECTION INSTRUMENTS

Net sales from the Company's illumination and telecommunication component
products were $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $2.3 million
in the comparable quarter in 1999, an increase of 52.2% or $1.2 million. This
increase was largely due to increased sales of fluorescent and fiber optic
illumination products from the Company's Salem facility and additional of sales
contributed by the Company's Montreal facility ("Lasiris"), which include laser
and telecom component products. The increases in these net sales are a result of
the Company's continued strategic business decision to shift its focus toward
illumination and photonics products.

Net sales from printer and recorder products increased slightly from $273,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 to $296,000 in the comparable quarter of fiscal
2000, an 8.4% increase.

Net sales from the Company's military products, largely compasses and watches,
were $91,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $116,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 1999, representing a 21.6% decrease. The decrease
resulted from the sale of the business assets associated with the Company's
compass product line in September 1999.

<PAGE>

MACHINE TOOL COMPONENTS AND ACCESSORIES

Net sales from machine components and accessories increased from $703,000 in the
first quarter of 1999 to $768,000 in the first quarter of 2000, an increase of
9.3%. The primary reason for the increase was higher unit shipments of the
Company's power clamp products.

COST OF SALES

Cost of sales were $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to
$2.1 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999, an increase of 42.9% or
$900,000. The increase in cost of sales resulted from an increase in net sales
during the same period.

Gross profit was $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to
$1.3 million in the comparable quarter of 1999. Gross margin decreased from
38.2% in 1999 to 36.2% in 2000. Gross margin declined primarily because of
increased unabsorbed manufacturing costs resulting from the expansion of
manufacturing capacity faster than increases in net sales volume.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Selling expenses were $485,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000, or
10.3% of net sales, compared to $458,000 in the comparable quarter in 1999, or
13.4% of net sales. General and administrative expenses were $910,000 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2000, or 19.3% of net sales, compared to $808,000, or
23.6% of net sales in the comparable quarter of fiscal 1999. Included in general
and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
was $144,000 of amortization expense primarily for goodwill and other
identifiable intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Lasiris in May
1998. Research and development expenses were $229,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2000, or 4.9% of net sales compared to $222,000, or 6.5% of net sales in
the comparable quarter of 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $138,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to
$172,000 in 1999. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from
lesser borrowings to fund working capital.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $19,000 in the fiscal
quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $25,000 in the comparable quarter in
1999. The tax provisions are a result of taxable income generated in Canada that
could not be used to offset operating losses in the United States. The Company
has recorded a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in 2000
and 1999 as the Company has concluded that it is not likely such deferred tax
asset would be realized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company historically has financed its operations primarily through
third-party credit facilities and cash from operations. On March 3, 2000, the
Company completed a private placement of 355,000 common shares at a price of
$26.00 per share totaling net proceeds of approximately $8.8 million. For the
three months ended March 31, 2000, cash and cash equivalents increased $7.3
million.

<PAGE>

Cash used in operating activities was $1.0 million in the first three month of
fiscal 2000 and resulted from the decrease in accounts payable of $639,000 and
the increase of accounts receivable of $474,000 which was slightly offset by
depreciation and amortization charges of $298,000.

Cash of $8.5 million was provided by financing activities, primarily due to the
receipt of $8.8 million from the sale of common stock in a private placement,
offset by $217,000 used to pay down bank debt. Cash used in investing activities
was $127,000 in the three month ended March 31, 2000 resulting from the
purchases of fixed assets.

On February 18, 2000, the Company announced that all of the holders of its $1.35
million 7 1/4% Convertible Subordinated Notes due May 1, 2001 had elected to
convert their Notes. The Notes were converted into 183,046 shares of common
stock based on a conversion price of $7.375 per share.

On February 11, 1999 the Company entered in a new credit agreement with Wells
Fargo Business Credit, Inc., formerly Norwest Business Credit, Inc., with total
borrowing availability up to $3,500,000. Initial proceeds were used to payoff
the amounts outstanding under the credit agreement between the Company and Fleet
National Bank of Massachusetts, N.A. The new credit facility with Wells Fargo
consists of a $500,000 term loan that requires 60 monthly principal payments of
$8,333, beginning April 1, 1999. The credit facility also provides for a
revolving line of credit of up to $3.5 million less the amount of the term loan.
The amount available for borrowing under this facility is also subject to a
defined borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and inventory.
As of March 31, 2000, $2.5 million was outstanding under the term loan and
revolving credit line and approximately $256,000 was available for additional
borrowings. The outstanding principal balance of all advances under this credit
facility bears interest at a floating rate of the bank's base rate plus 2.5%.
The Company's obligation under the Wells Fargo credit agreement is evidenced by
a demand note and may be terminated at any time by Wells Fargo in its sole
discretion, prior to the stated maturity date of March 1, 2002. The Company's
obligations under this credit facility are secured by substantially all of the
Company's assets other than real property. In addition, Mark W. Blodgett, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer, has unconditionally guaranteed all amounts
outstanding. The Credit and Security Agreement between the Company and Wells
Fargo requires the Company to comply with certain affirmative and negative
covenants. As of March 31, 2000 the Company was not in default of its covenant
regarding minimum earnings.

On May 13, 1998, the Company entered into a $750,000 second mortgage loan with
Danvers Savings Bank (the "Danvers Loan"). This loan bears interest at a rate of
11%, requires monthly payments of interest only, and its original maturity date
of May 13, 1999 has been extended to February 28, 2001. Under the terms of the
extension, Danvers Savings Bank lowered the interest rate to 10% and requires
monthly payments of principal and interest on a ten-year amortization schedule
with $25,000 of additional principal due each quarter until maturity. As of
March 31, 2000, the balance due under the Danvers Loan was $713,000.

On May 13, 1998, Lasiris entered into a credit agreement with Toronto
Dominion Bank ("TD Bank"). The credit agreement provides for (i) a $1,000,000
CDN Operating Line of Credit (the "TD Line of Credit"); (ii) a $1,000,000 CDN
Term Loan (the "TD Four Year Term Loan"); (iii) an $83,333 CDN Term Loan (the
"TD Two Year Term Loan"); and (iv) a $4,461 CDN Letter of Guarantee of (the
"Letter of Guarantee"). The TD Line of Credit bears interest at 1% over the
TD Bank prime rate, requires monthly payments of interest only, and is
payable on demand. As of March 31, 2000, borrowings on the TD Line of Credit
were $1.0 million CDN ($691,000 US). The TD Four Year Term Loan bears
interest at 2% over the TD Bank prime rate, matures on May 13, 2002, and
requires monthly principal payments of $21,000 CDN (approximately $15,000 US)
plus interest. As of March 31, 2000, the outstanding balance on the TD
Four-Year Term Loan was $542,000 CDN ($374,000 US). The TD Two Year Term Loan
bears interest at 2% over the TD Bank prime rate, matures on

<PAGE>

May 13, 2000, and requires monthly principal payments of $4,000 CDN
(approximately $3,000 US) plus interest. As of March 31, 2000, the TD
Two-Year Term Loan was paid in full.

On May 20, 1997 the Company entered into an equipment line of credit agreement
with Granite Bank to finance capital equipment related to new product
development. The line of credit provides that equipment purchases will be
converted quarterly into a series of five year notes, not to exceed $500,000 in
the aggregate, bearing interest at the prime rate plus .75%. As of March 31,
2000, the Company had borrowed $230,000 pursuant to such line of credit.

As of March 31, 2000, the Company believes that its available financial
resources are adequate to meet foreseeable working capital, debt service and
capital expenditure requirements through the next twelve months.

                ITEM. 2 CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On March 3, 2000, the Company completed a private placement (the "Private
Placement") of 355,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the
Company. The Company offered the shares to fifteen purchasers in the Private
Placement at a price of $26.00 per share. The Company did not engage any
underwriters in connection with the Private Placement, but the Company did enter
into an agreement with K.S. Securities GmbH to act as placement agent for the
shares. The Company paid K.S. Securities a commission of $369,200 in connection
with the Private Placement. The Private Placement resulted in net proceeds to
the Company of approximately $8.9 million. Proceeds will be used for working
capital purposes. The Private Placement was exempt from registration under
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, based upon the following facts: (i) the
Company did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising in connection
with the Private Placement; (ii) the shares of Common Stock were sold to a total
of fifteen purchasers, fourteen of whom represented to the Company that they
were each an "accredited investor" as defined under Regulation D under the
Securities Act; (iii) the Company took reasonable precautions to assure that all
of the purchasers (together with any financial advisors) were financially
sophisticated and able to bear the risks of the investment as well as to assure
that the Common Stock was being purchased for investment purposes and would not
be resold in a public offering; (iv) pertinent information regarding the Company
and the Private Placement was provided to the purchasers, and they or their
representatives had access to officers of the Company to inquire as to any
further information they believed relevant; (v) the Company provided the
non-accredited investor with additional information about the Company as
required by Regulation D under the Securities Act; and (vi) the Company advised
