Notes To Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. The unaudited financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995 included in
the Company's Form 10 filed in March 1996.  The accompanying financial
statements have not been examined by independent accountants in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, but in the opinion of management such
financial statements include all adjustments necessary to summarize fairly the
Company's financial position and results of operation.

2. The earnings per share calculation for the Three Months and Nine Months ended
Sep 30, 1995 and 1996 is as follows:

</TABLE>
Revenues increased by $7.1 million or 20% due to increased orders received from
both existing and new customers.

Expenses increased by $3.3 million or 15% primarily due to a 14% increase in
staff levels and related costs to accommodate increased orders received.

The Company's effective tax rate increased from 38% to 40%.  This differential
is the result of an investment tax credit in 1995 on real property purchased
that year.

</TABLE>
Revenues increased by $16.8 million or 16% due to increased orders received from
both existing and new customers.

Expenses increased by $9.8 million or 16% primarily due to two factors: first,
operating expenses incurred on the new facility purchased during 1995 for which
there were no operating expenses incurred during the first quarter of 1995 and
second, staff levels and related costs were up 14% to accommodate increased
orders received.

The Company's effective tax rate increased from 38% to 40%.  This differential
is primarily the result of an investment tax credit in 1995 on real property
purchased that year.

While Operating Income is up by 17% for the first nine month of 1996, Net Income
is up by only 14%.  This 3% differential is primarily the net effect of the
one-time gain from the sale of our Cambridge real property and the increase in
our effective tax rate from 1995 to 1996.
