normal recurring accruals, for a fair presentation of such information.  Certain
reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current

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

1.   Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's working capital improved $ 1,833,000 during the first two
quarters.  This is due to increases in inventories, cash and cash equivalents
and decreases in accounts payable.

The Company's subsidiary, TTI Pte, has  a secured credit agreement with Standard
Chartered Bank which provides for a total line of credit of  $ 655,000. There
were no borrowings under this line as of December  27, 1996.  The interest rate
on borrowings is at the bank's prime rate plus 2%.  Borrowings under this
agreement are collateralized by substantially all of TTI Pte's assets.

The Company's subsidiary, TTBk, has a secured line of credit with a bank which
provides for a total line of credit of $78,000.  Borrowings under the line as of
December  27, 1996 were $7,000. Interest is at the bank's prime rate (13.25% at
December 27, 1996) plus 4.75%.

The Company's subsidiary, EETC, has a credit agreement with a bank which
provides a term loan of $560,000. Borrowings under this agreement as of December
27, 1996 were $384,000 Interest is at the bank's prime rate (5.83% at December
27, 1996) plus 3%.

The Company has a revolving line of credit of $125,000 from a bank bearing
interest at 1.5% above the bank's reference rate (8.25% at December 27, 1996).
Borrowings under the line amounted to $95,000 as of December  27, 1996.

2.   Material Changes in Financial Position

There were no material changes in the financial position of the Company during
the six-month period ending December 27, 1996.

3.   Material Changes in Results of Operations

There were no material changes in the results of operations of the Company
during the six-month period ending December 27, 1996.


                   PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.  Changes in securities.

A reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split" ) of the common stock was confirmed
with a date of record for determining the Stockholders entitled to participate
in the Reverse Split of October 13, 1994.  The Reverse Split was a one-for-four
reverse stock split whereby each outstanding share of existing common stock was
automatically converted into one-fourth of a share of common stock.  Fractional
interests resulting from the Reverse Split were rounded up to the nearest whole
share, with half-shares being rounded up to the next whole number.  For example,
a person holding 101 shares prior to the Reverse Split would now hold 25 shares,
the remaining 1/4 share having been canceled and disregarded; persons holding
102 or 103 shares received 26 full shares after the Reverse Split.  As of
January 31, 1994
<PAGE>
3,724,000 shares had been delivered to the Transfer Agent for the new stock
certificates.  The Company approximates the number of currently outstanding
shares to be 1,282,920.
