(3)  Net Income/Loss Per Common and Common Equivalent Share
     ------------------------------------------------------
     Basic EPS excludes the effect of any dilutive options, warrants or
convertible securities and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.  Diluted EPS is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the sum of
the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
computed using the average market price for the period under the treasury
stock method.

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

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. There are a number of
factors that could cause the Company`s actual results to differ materially
from those forecasted or projected in such forward-looking statements.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements which speak only as of the date hereof.  The Company undertakes
no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these
forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or changed
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

Results of Operations - Third Fiscal Quarter of 1999 Compared to Third
Fiscal Quarter of 1998
----------------------
     Revenue from product sales decreased 5% in Q3 1999 compared to Q3
1998. The decline in product revenue in Q3 1999 compared to Q3 1998 was
primarily the result of a decline in shipments to a single major customer
partially offset by increased shipments to new customers.

     Total operating expenses in Q3 1998 were $1.3 million, a 30% increase
over operating expenses of $961 thousand in Q3 1998. Total operating
expenses consist of cost of sales and sales, general and administrative
expenses.

     Cost of sales were $1025 thousand in Q3 1999 compared to $799 thousand
in Q3 1998, an increase of $227 thousand.  The increase in cost of sales was
primarily driven by 1) increased personnel expense in the quality and
engineering functions, and 2) a significant increase in the number of new
products in Q3 1999 compared to Q3 1998.  During 1999, the Company has added
indirect personnel in the quality and engineering functions to strengthen
the Company's ability to grow and serve a broader range of customers.  As a
result fixed costs have increased in 1999, and the increase in fixed costs
coupled with the decline in revenues in Q3 1999 resulted in reduced gross
margins in Q3 1999 compared to Q3 1998.  Shipments of new products grew
significantly in Q3 1999 compared to Q3 1998, but these shipments did not
totally offset reduced shipments to a single major customer.  Although the
average unit prices of many new products were higher than existing products,
the higher prices were more than offset by higher direct labor and material
costs, resulting in reduced gross margins.  However, the Company expects
that as the production volume increases for these new products the cost of
manufacturing on a unit basis will decline.

     Sales, general and administrative expenses were $229 thousand in Q3
1999 compared to $163 thousand in Q3 1998, an increase of $66 thousand.
This increase is primarily attributable to increased personnel costs and
travel expenses in the sales function, primarily to support increased sales
activities in Europe and Japan.

     Income taxes in Q3 1999 were $0 thousand compared to $30 thousand in Q3
1998 as a result of changes in the tax code for 1999 relating to small
businesses and the alternative minimum tax.


Results of Operations - First Nine Months of 1999 Compared to First Nine
Months of 1998
--------------
     Revenue from product sales increased 5% in the first nine months of
1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998.  No revenue was earned from
license agreements in the first nine months of 1999 compared to revenue of
$741 thousand in the first nine months of 1998.  Although the Company
expects to receive royalties from existing license agreements in the future,
selling of additional licenses to other companies to use the Company's
proprietary technology is not a focus of management.

     Total operating expenses in the first nine months of 1999 were $3.6
million, a 33% increase over operating expenses of $2.7 in the first nine
months of Q3 1998. Total operating expenses consist of cost of sales and
sales, general and administrative expenses.

     Cost of sales were $2.9 million in the first nine months of 1999
compared to $2.3 million in the first nine months of 1998, an increase of
$660 thousand.  In the first nine months of 1999 the Company added personnel
in the quality and engineering functions in anticipation of future growth,
increasing fixed costs at a greater rate than revenues increased, resulting
in reduced gross profits.  The Company believes the personnel additions are
essential to support a broader range of customers in the future, and the
Company does not expect to continue to add fixed costs at the same rate in
the future.

     Shipments of new products grew significantly in the first nine months
of 1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998, offsetting a reduction in
shipments of existing products to a single major customer, the net result
being an increase of 4% in total unit shipments in the first nine months of
1999 compared to the first nine months of 1998. Although the average unit
prices of many new products were higher than existing products, the higher
prices were more than offset by higher direct labor and material costs,
resulting in reduced gross margins.  However, the Company expects that as
the production volume increases for these new products the cost of
manufacturing on a unit basis will decline.

     Sales, general and administrative expenses were $727 thousand in the
first nine months of 1999 compared to $486 thousand in the first nine months
of 1998, an increase of $241 thousand.  This increase is attributable to
increased personnel costs and travel expenses in the sales function,
primarily to support increased sales activities in Europe and Japan.

     Income taxes in the first nine months of 1999 were ($6) thousand,
compared to $128 thousand in the first nine months of 1998 as a result of
changes in the tax code for 1999 relating to small businesses and the
alternative minimum tax.

     The cumulative effect of these revenues and costs resulted
in net income of $358 thousand, or $0.03 per basic share, $0.03 per diluted
share, in the first nine months of 1999, compared to net income of $1,535
thousand, or $0.15 per basic share, $0.13 per diluted share in the first
nine months of 1998.

Financial Condition
-------------------
     The Company`s cash balance at October 2, 1999 was $1,177 thousand
compared to $1,499 thousand at December 26, 1998.  In the first nine months
of 1999 operations generated cash of $17 thousand.  The Company consumed
cash of $408 thousand by purchasing production equipment.  These equipment
additions provide the Company with increased capacity for future growth and
with increased ability to serve a broader range of customers.

     Inventories increased to $246 thousand at October 2, 1999 from $204
thousand at December 26, 1998. Raw material inventory increased to $111
thousand from $107 thousand, and work in process inventory increased to $135
thousand from $97 thousand over the same period.

     Accounts Receivable increased to $840 thousand at October 2, 1999 from
$547 thousand at December 26, 1998.  Shipments to customers increased
towards the end of the third quarter resulting in an increase in accounts
receivables.

     The Company financed its working capital requirements during the third
fiscal quarter of 1999 with funds generated by operations.  Management
considers cash flow from operations and available cash to be adequate to
meet its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Year 2000 Issue
---------------
     The Company has identified three areas of possible exposure to Year
2000 problems:  1) Application programs (financial, CAD/CAM and management
information programs) used by the Company, 2) Embedded programs in
production and analytical equipment used by the Company, and 3) Programs
used by vendors, customers and other third parties with whom the Companies
does business.

     The Company has completed an assessment of its exposure in each of
these three areas and has addressed the issues identified.  The assessment
indicated the area of greatest risk was in the area of application programs.
In the process of addressing the Year 2000 issue, the Company has
concurrently sought to upgrade certain computer systems to provide greater
functionality.  In 1998 and 1999, the Company purchased and installed new
financial, accounting, and selected manufacturing computer systems which are
Year 2000 compliant and which provide greater functionality.

     Regarding the second area, the Company has tested production and
analytical equipment one machine at a time to determine where Year 2000
problems exist.  The Company has purchased some new capital equipment which
is Year 2000 compliant, to replace equipment which was not Year 2000
compliant and this equipment has been installed in an orderly manner without
disrupting production.  Based on its testing, the Company believes there are
no remaining issues in this second area but there is no guarantee this will
be the case.

     Regarding the third area the Company has qualified multiple vendors for
all critical materials and has implemented an inventory policy the Company
believes will reduce risk if vendors do have unanticipated short-term supply
interruptions as the year 2000 begins.
