                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)




1.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Company has two active stock option plans, both of which have been
     approved by the Board of Directors.  The Nonemployee Directors' Stock
     Option Plan, pending shareholder approval, provides for the grant of
     options to purchase up to 320,000 common shares to outside directors of the
     Company.  Options are granted at the fair market value of the stock on the
     date of grant and vest over a four year period.  The maximum term of an
     option may not exceed six years.

     The 1992 Employees Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to
     purchase up to 800,000 common shares to key employees of the Company.
     Options are granted at the fair market value of the stock on the date of
     grant and vest over a four year period.  The maximum term of an option may
     not exceed six years.  Of this total, options to purchase 497,500 shares of
     common stock are outstanding and 225,250 shares remain available for grant.
     In addition, options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock are
     outstanding under certain of the Company's predecessor stock option plans.



2.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX

     At of September 30, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
     of approximately $12,285,000.  The carryforwards expire from 2001 to 2011.
     The Company also has investment tax credit as well as research and
     development tax credit carryforwards of $290,000 and $752,000,
     respectively, available to offset future income tax liabilities through
     2001.  Although the Company has adopted the Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, there is no tax
     asset recognized for the net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits
     due to the Company's loss history and therefore uncertainty regarding
     future taxable income.   Due to an expected annual effective tax rate of
     zero, the Company recognized no income tax expense in the first quarter of
     fiscal 1997 or 1996





The unaudited Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the period ending
September 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of operating results to be
expected for the full year.  These interim condensed financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the June 30, 1996, audited financial statements.


                                                                               6

PART I.   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were approximately $2.4 million,
approximately the same as the first quarter of last year.  Gross margins
decreased to 42% from 44% in the prior year, reflective of a less favorable
product mix.  This dip in margin, combined with an increase in research and
development expenses from 7.9% last year to 8.6% this year, resulted in net
income of $41,000 as compared to $104,000 for the first quarter last year.
Favorably impacting this net income was a decrease of 3% in operating expenses
over the same period in the prior year.

As of September 30, 1996, approximately $12,285,000 in net operation loss
carryforwards were available to offset future taxable income at varying amounts
with expiration from 2001 to 2011, as well as $290,000 and $752,000 in
investment tax and research and development tax credits, respectively.

Although the Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes, there is no tax asset recognized for the
net operation loss carryforwards and tax credits due to the Company's loss
history and therefore uncertainty regarding future taxable income.  The Company
recognized no income tax expense in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 or 1996 due
to an expected annual effective tax rate of zero.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has line of credit agreements with a bank renewable in September of
1997.  The first is for the lesser of an amount calculated based on 75% of
eligible accounts receivable or $1.5 million.  This line is collateralized by
domestic accounts receivable, inventory and other tangible and intangible assets
and contains financial covenants including working capital and debt ratios, as
well as maximum loss provisions.  At September 30, 1996, borrowings under this
line of credit totaled $800,000.

The second line of credit is for the lesser of an amount calculated based on 90%
of eligible foreign accounts receivable and 70% of related inventory or
$500,000.  This line is collateralized by foreign accounts receivable and
inventory and contains financial covenants including working capital and debt
ratios, as well as maximum loss provisions.  At September 30, 1996, there were
no borrowings under this line of credit.

The Company anticipates increased spending on the development of several new
products and thus expects to continue to utilize these lines of credit.  Cash on
hand, as well as the lines of credit, should enable the Company to meet its
operating and working capital needs during the next twelve months.
