Note 3 - Net Income Per Share

In 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires
disclosure of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is
computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the assumed conversion of
dilutive stock options and warrants. In computing the per share effect of
assumed conversion, funds which would have been received from the exercise of
options and warrants are considered to have been used to purchase common shares
at average market prices for the period, and the resulting net additional common
shares are included in the calculation of average common shares outstanding. All
previously reported earnings per share amounts were restated upon adoption of
SFAS No. 128.

Certain anti-dilutive outstanding stock options and warrants were excluded from
the calculation of average shares outstanding since their exercise prices
exceeded the average market price of common shares during the period. The
anti-dilutive stock options and warrants so excluded at the end of each of the
last two interim periods and their associated exercise prices are summarized
below. The options expire at various times between 1999 and 2002.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, Accounts Receivable balances owing to
the Company were reduced by $1,671,573 as the result of continued efforts to
better manage this asset. Although inventories increased by $284,,940 in the
June 1998 quarter, this increase resulted from the acquisition of inventory to
support new product releases later in the fiscal year. The Company does
anticipate that present inventory levels will be reduced by year-end. Trade
Payables and various accrued liabilities were reduced by a total of $1,634,303
compared to March 31. This reduction resulted from payment of amounts due others
in accordance with our normal payment terms.

During the quarter, the Company repaid the final installment of $2,500,000 due
under its April 1996 purchase of Altek. The primary source of funds for this
transaction was an increase in bank debt.

Results of Operations

Comparison of April 1, 1998 - June 30, 1998

                           to

              April 1, 1997 - June 30, 1997

Sales totaled $17,959,309 in the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$19,113,082 in the same quarter last year. This reduction resulted from lower
sales to customers in the Far East compared to last year as the result of that
region's continuing economic problems and also from lower sales to certain other
foreign markets and from lower sales of the Company's Cal-Lab services which
resulted from the Company's desire to perform higher margin services work than
in the past and which, therefore, resulted in the Company foregoing
opportunities to perform certain lower margin service work during the 1998
quarter.

Cost of Products Sold totaled 65.9% of sales in 1998 compared to 68.4% of sales
in 1997. This improvement is attributable to improved margins in the Company's
Cal-Lab operation in 1998 compared to 1997.

All other expenses were comparable in 1998 vs 1997.
