PART I  -  FINANCIAL  INFORMATION

Item 2  -  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and 
           Results of Operations

CERTAIN FACTORS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934.  Actual results could differ materially from those projected in 
the forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below 
and elsewhere in this report.  The industry in which the Company competes is 
characterized by extreme rapid changes in technology and frequent new product 
introductions.  The Company believes that its long-term growth depend largely 
on its ability to continue to enhance existing products and to introduce new 
products and features that meet the continually changing requirements of 
customers.  While the Company has invested heavily in new products and 
processes, there can be no assurance that it can continue to introduce new 
products and features on a timely basis or that certain of its products and 
processes will not be rendered noncompetitive or obsolete by its competitors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

NET SALES
Net sales for the third quarter ended December 31, 1995 increased 36% to 
$11,118,000 from $8,180,000 for the same quarter of last fiscal year.  Net 
sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 increased 33% to 
$30,634,000 from $23,064,000 for the same period of the last fiscal year.  All 
of the Company's targeted markets showed continued strength and have helped 
the Company achieve record financial results.  Approximately 43% of the 
Company's sales were to international customers during the nine months ended 
December 31, 1995.

GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was 49% of net sales, the 
same as the preceding year.  Gross margin for the nine months ended December 31,
1995 was 48%, a decrease from 50% for the same period of last fiscal year.  
Gross margin is expected to be relatively stable from period to period, with 
small variations from one period to another as slight product mix changes occur.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses were 13% for 
the three and nine months ended December 31, 1995, compared with 14% for the 
same three and nine month periods of last fiscal year.  Dollar expenditures in 
this category increase moderately from period to period, as the Company develops
more new products each year.  The Company intends to continue to invest heavily
in its new product and process development efforts.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the third quarter 
ended December 31, 1995 were 13% of net sales, a decrease from 16% for the 
same period of last fiscal year.  SG&A expenses for the nine months ended 
December 31, 1995 were 14% of net sales, compared with 17% for the same period 
of last fiscal year.  The Company continued to benefit from economies of scale 
as dollar expenditures in this category increased by a smaller percentage than 
the percentage increase in net sales.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME
Interest and other income for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $318,000, an 
increase of 33% from $240,000 for the same period of last fiscal year.  Interest
and other income for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 increased 61% to 
$964,000 from $599,000 for the same period of last fiscal year.  Increased funds
available for investments and higher interest rates for short-term investments
accounted for this growth.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 
31, 1995 was 31%, an increase from 27% for the same periods of last fiscal year.
The Company expects that the effective tax rate will increase in fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1995, the Company had a total of $20,453,000 in cash, cash 
equivalents and short term investments compared to $19,456,000 at March 31, 
1995.  Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 
31, 1995 was $5,299,000.  The increase was primarily due to net income of 
$5,211,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1995 offset by increases in
accounts receivable and inventory.  Cash used in investing activities during
the nine months ended December 31, 1995 was $7,211,000 new corporate 
headquarters.  Management believes its current cash, cash equivalents and 
short-term investments will be adequate to meet anticipated operating needs 
for the next 12 months.  Capital expenditures for the next twelve months are 
expected to be higher than those for the prior twelve-month period because 
capacity expansion is being planned.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), "Accounting for 
Stock-Based Compensation," which establishes a fair-value based method of 
accounting for stock-based compensation.  The Company currently follows the 
requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for 
Stock Issued to Employees."  The Company plans to adopt the disclosure 
provisions of SFAS 123 in fiscal 1997.
