                                     Part I

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

Sales  increases  continue to result  primarily from increases being achieved in
the company's Transcat division. Sales through the company's domestic Instrument
division and through its Australian and  Singaporean  subsidiaries  have not yet
achieved  planned  levels and efforts are  underway to correct  this  situation.
Corrective  actions being  undertaken  will include efforts to increase sales of
recently introduced products which are not achieving forecast levels.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

The company's  primary  sources of liquidity and capital are its  profitability,
funds  provided  through  its  borrowing  agreement  with a  bank,  and  through
management of its balance sheet.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  trade accounts  receivable were reduced
by more than $697,000 in the interval  between June 30, 1995 and March 31, 1995.
This reduction, together with profits earned in the quarter, the use of $249,500
of cash balances  which were on hand at March 31, 1995,  and cash flow of nearly
$100,000 which resulted from depreciation in the quarter, enabled the company to
reduce existing trade accounts payable by $916,000,  reduce accrued  liabilities
by $174,000  and reduce bank debt by $144,000 at June 30, 1995 when  compared to
March 31, 1995.

The company has  negotiated a new more  favorable loan agreement with its lender
which  should  close prior to September  30,  1995.  Terms of the new  borrowing
agreement  will increase  maximum funds  available,  reduce rates being paid for
interest and commitment fees and extend the maturity of the loan.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Comparison of April 1, 1995 - June 30, 1995
                     to
              April 1, 1994 - June 30, 1994

Sales increased approximately 13% in 1995 compared to 1994. This increase is the
result of sales gains achieved in the company's  Transcat  division and resulted
from increased sales efforts including catalog mailings.

Cost of products sold  increased by only  approximately  11% and benefited  from
improved margins in the company's Transcat division, specifically resulting from
improvements recognized in its Calibration Lab operations.

Selling and  Administrative  expenses totaled 29.3% of sales in 1995 compared to
35.4% of sales in 1994. This  improvement  resulted from lower  amortizations of
catalog  mailings  during  1995.  Catalog  mailings  are now being  made to more
targeted lists so as to reduce overall cost and enhance the productivity of each
mailing.

Research and development  expense totaled 2.8% of sales in 1995 compared to 4.3%
of sales in 1994.  This expense has been reduced  during the past year  bringing
company spending more in line with industry norms than was previously the case.

Interest  expense  increased by 39.5% in 1995 compared to 1994. This increase is
the result of higher rates which  presently  exist  versus  rates which  existed
during the first quarter last fiscal year.

Note 1 - Revolving Credit Agreement

Borrowings under a secured  revolving credit agreement with a bank which extends
through July 31, 1996 total $3,920,700 at June 30, 1995.

Maximum funds  available under this credit  agreement  total  $6,250,000 and are
based on a formula. The interest rate is 1% over the bank's prime lending rate.

The revolving credit agreement contains, among other provisions, restrictions on
the annual amount of capital expenditures,  restrictions on the annual amount of
expenditures  made for the purpose of printing  and  distributing  catalogs  and
requirements for minimum amounts of tangible net worth.

Additionally,  the  company  has pledged its  personal  property  and  fixtures,
including  inventory and  equipment,  and its accounts  receivable as collateral
security for the loan.  Further,  the company has agreed to pay to the lender an
amount equal to 3/8% of the unused  portion of the total credit  available.  The
fee is payable  quarterly.  Total  commitment  fees paid on any unused  lines of
credit under revolving credit agreements were immaterial in 1995 and 1994.

The company is in compliance  with  provisions of its loan agreement at June 30,

On March 11, 1993, the Board of Directors granted the President of the company's
Instrument  Division a  non-qualified  stock option contract for the purchase of
25,000 shares of the company's  common stock at $3.00 per share, the fair market
value at the date of the grant.  These  shares are  exercisable  in equal annual
installments beginning at the date of the grant and expiring five years later.

Note 4 - Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The net  income per share  amounts in 1995 were  computed  by  dividing  the net
income  by the  average  number  of  shares  actually  outstanding  plus  common
equivalent  shares  resulting from the assumed  conversion of the dilutive stock
options  and  warrants.  The net loss per share  amount in 1994 was  computed by
dividing the net loss by the number of shares actually  outstanding.  Common and
common equivalent shares averaged 2,461,455 in 1995 and 2,374,240 in 1994.
