        and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, 
        necessary to a fair presentation of the results for the periods 
        presented.  All such adjustments are, in the opinion of management, 
        of a normal, recurring nature.  While the Company believes that the 
        disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not 
        misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated financial 
        statements be read in conduction with the consolidated financial

3.      Net Income Per Share

        Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of 
        common shares outstanding. The effects of the assumed exercise of 
        outstanding stock options and warrants have been included in the 
        income per share calculation for the period that the shares were 
        assumed issued using the treasury stock method.  Weighted average 
        shares outstanding amounted to 4,587,154 for the three months ended 
        March 31, 1996 and 4,400,000 for the three months ended 
        March 31, 1995. Prior to the IPO, the Company was a wholly owned 
        subsidiary of Canrad.  

4.      Pro Forma Net Income Per Share

        Pro forma net income per share has been calculated to reflect the 
        effects of the interest expense less related income tax effects of 
        the $8,000,000 borrowing pursuant to the Norwest Bank revolving 
        credit facility which is assumed to be outstanding as of the 
        beginning of each period presented, with no repayment being made 
        during such period, and the 400,000-to-1 common stock exchange.

5.      Stock Dividend

        The Company's Board of Directors declared a 10% stock distribution on 
        January 23, 1996, which issued on March 8, 1996, to shareholders of 
        record on February 9, 1996.  This stock distribution resulted in the 
        issuance of 400,000 shares of common stock.  Per share data have been 
        restated to reflect these stock distributions as of the earliest 
        period presented.  The stock distribution is not considered a 
        distribution of earnings except to the extent that the Company has 
        retained earnings, but rather had the effect of increasing the number 
        of outstanding shares.

6.      Related Party Transactions

        Canrad Inc. provides services to its subsidiaries on a corporate 
        basis.  Such services include strategic planning, acquisition 
        assistance, procurement of capital and debt arrangements, securing 
        health and business insurance overages, audit and income tax 
        planning and other matters.  Fees charged for these services amounted 
        to $75,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

                      Condition and Results of Operations
                      -----------------------------------

        The following discussion and analysis relates to the accompanying 
unaudited consolidated financial statements and presents a current assessment 
of material changes in financial condition and results of operations.  A 
detailed discussion and analysis for the preceding years appears in the 
Registrant's December 31, 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

        The Company's borrowings (including long and short-term) of 
$9,372,240 reflect an increase of approximately $1,312,800 as compared to 
December 31, 1995.  The principal reasons for the increase were $1,289,000 
from borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and a capital 
lease for the purchase of manufacturing equipment in the amount of $194,200.  
These increases were offset by  a payment of $100,000 pursuant to a 
non-compete agreement with Optical Radiation Corporation, $47,300 of payments 
made pursuant to the 7.9% Industrial Development Revenue Bond and $24,000 of 
payments on capital lease obligations.  

        The Company's loan from parent reflects a decrease of approximately 
$11,500 at March 31, 1996 as compared to the end of the prior year.

        The Company anticipates that internally generated funds and 
borrowings under its operating credit facilities will be sufficient to meet 
its working capital needs.  The Company expects that it will have capital 
expenditures of approximately $700,000 in 1996.  The Company does not engage 
in any currency hedging activities in connection with its foreign operations 
and sales.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

        Consolidated net sales of $11,362,600 for the three month period 
ended March 31, 1996 represents an increase of 41% over the respective prior 
year period.  The following table shows comparative net sales by industry 
segment for the Company's operations:

        Net sales in the Theatre segment increased approximately $3,569,000 
or 48% for the three months  ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same 
periods of the prior year.   The increase is attributable to unit sales 
increases of projectors, sound heads, platters and lenses which  is 
reflective of the continued planned industry-wide expansion of both the 
domestic and world-wide theatre markets.

        Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 28% for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996 from 29% for the same three month period of 
1995.  The decrease is primarily attributable to the margins realized by 
Westrex, the Company's new distribution operation in Hong Kong, and the mix 
of Theatre Products that were sold between the periods.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately 
$235,100 for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the 
same periods of  the prior year.   As a percentage of net sales, such 
expenses decreased to 14% for the quarter from 17% for the same quarter of 
the prior year. The additional theatre sales have been generated without a 
significant increase in selling costs, travel and the number of employees.  

        Interest expense amounted to approximately $186,100 for the three 
month period ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $22,193 for the same three 
month period of 1995.  The current three month period includes interest 
expense attributable to the $8,000,000 borrowing made in September 1995 to 
pay the Canrad dividend.

        The actual income tax expense amounted to approximately  39% for the 
current three month period as compared to a statutory rate of 34%.  The 
difference relates to the non-deductibility of certain intangible expenses, 
principally goodwill, and the effects of state income taxes.
