Item 2.                    Management's Discussion and Analysis or
                                    Plan of Operation


         For the purposes of the following discussion,  dollar amounts have been
rounded to the  nearest  $1,000  and all  percentages  have been  rounded to the
nearest 1%.

         This Quarterly Report on Form10-QSB  contains  certain  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
various  factors,  including  the risk  factors set forth  below  under  "Future
Outlook" and  elsewhere in this  section.  The Company has attempted to identify
forward-looking  statements  by placing an asterisk  immediately  following  the
sentence or phrase containing the forward-looking statement(s).

Results of Operations
---------------------

         Net  revenues  for the  quarter  ended  April 4, 1998 were  $3,587,000,
representing  a 126% increase  from net revenues of  $1,587,000  for the quarter
ended  March  29,  1997.  This  increase  is the  result  of a higher  volume of
shipments to  Chesapeake  Sciences  Corporation,  ("Chesapeake"),  the Company's
largest  customer,  combined  with  increases in  shipments to other  customers.
Shipments to  Chesapeake  during the first quarter of the prior fiscal year were
lower than  normal due to  re-scheduling.  Chesapeake  accounted  for 62% of net
revenues in the quarter  ended April 4, 1998, as compared to 42% of net revenues
in the first quarter of 1997.

         Cost of sales was  $2,181,000 or 61% of net  revenues,  for the quarter
ended April 4, 1998 as compared to $1,144,000,  or 72% of net revenues,  for the
quarter ended March 29, 1997. The decrease in cost of sales,  as a percentage of
net revenues,  is attributable to increased  direct labor  efficiency  resulting
from the larger  production lot sizes  associated with higher volume  Chesapeake
production and the spreading of fixed costs over a much larger revenue base.

         Engineering  and  development  expenses  were  $224,000,  or 6% of  net
revenues,  for the quarter ended April 4, 1998, as compared to $175,000,  or 11%
of net revenues, for the quarter ended March 29, 1997. Increased engineering and
development  expenditures  are a direct result of higher  employee  compensation
costs attributable to increased engineering staff levels.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $272,000,  or 8% of
net revenues,  for the quarter ended April 4, 1998, as compared to $158,000,  or
10% of net  revenues,  in the quarter  ended March 29,  1997.  This  increase in
dollar amount is primarily the result of increases in compensation  costs due to
higher staffing levels, and increases in commission,  travel and data processing
expenses. These increases are primarily associated with expanded sales efforts.

     Although each category of costs and expenses  discussed  above increased in
dollar amount from the first quarter of 1997, to the first quarter of 1998, such
increases were outpaced by the growth in net revenues. As a result, each expense
category decreased as a percentage of net revenues.

<PAGE>

         As a  result  of  the  above-mentioned  factors,  the  Company  had  an
operating profit of $910,000 for the quarter ended April 4, 1998, as compared to
an operating profit of $110,000 for the quarter ended March 29, 1997.

         Net interest  income was $7,000 for the quarter  ended April 4, 1998 as
compared to $10,000 for the quarter ended March 29, 1997. This decrease  results
from increased  interest  expense on additional debt incurred to finance capital
equipment additions.

         No federal income tax expense was recognized in the quarter ended April
4, 1998,  as  compared  to federal  income tax expense of $25,000 in the quarter
ended March 29, 1997. The Company has remaining net operating loss carryforwards
for  federal  income  tax  purposes  at January  3, 1998 of  approximately  $2.5
million.  These carryforwards will expire between 2004 and 2008. The Company may
have to recognize  certain federal income tax expense during the balance of 1998
as a result of the alternative minimum tax.

         The  Company's  backlog of customer  orders was  $7,841,000 at April 4,
1998, as compared to $5,937,000 at March 29, 1997,  and $7,676,000 at January 3,
1998.  Approximately  $7,300,000  of the  total  backlog  at  April  4,  1998 is
currently  scheduled  for  shipment  during  the  remainder  of  1998.*  Because
customers  may place orders for delivery at various times  throughout  the year,
and  due to the  possibility  of  customer  changes  in  delivery  schedules  or
cancellation of orders,  the Company's backlog as of any particular date may not
be indicative of actual future sales.



Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

         The Company's  cash position  increased to $1,508,000 at April 4, 1998,
as compared to  $1,190,000  at January 3, 1998.  This  increase is the  combined
result of  $439,000  generated  by  operating  activities,  partially  offset by
$93,000  used to  purchase  capital  equipment  and  $27,000  used in  financing
activities.

         Accounts  receivable  were  $2,429,000 at April 4, 1998, as compared to
$2,514,000  at  January  3,  1998.  This  change is  primarily  attributable  to
increased customer payments during the current quarter.

         Inventories were $2,133,000 at April 4, 1998, as compared to $2,581,000
at January 3, 1998.  This  decrease is the result of reductions in raw materials
and work-in-process attributable to increased sales volume partially offset by a
temporary increase in finished goods to accommodate customer delivery schedules.
(See Note 3. Of Notes to Interim Financial Statements on page 6.)


<PAGE>

     Prepaid  expenses and deposits were $77,000 at April 4, 1998 as compared to
$50,000 at January 3, 1998.  This  increase  reflects  normal  ongoing  business
transactions.

         Accounts  payable  were  $340,000  at April 4,  1998,  as  compared  to
$1,308,000 at January 3, 1998. The primary factors effecting this reduction were
reduced  purchases  of raw  materials  during the  quarter  ended  April 4, 1998
combined with increased cash flow, which allowed larger and more timely payments
to suppliers.

         Accrued  employee  compensation  and benefits were $297,000 at April 4,
1998 as compared to $350,000 at January 3, 1998.  This reduction is the combined
result of payment, during the first quarter, of the 1998 accrued employee profit
sharing  earned in fiscal 1997  together  with  changes in the timing of payroll
accruals at quarter end.

         Accrued warranty, commissions and other expenses were $191,000 at April
4, 1998 as compared to $207,000 at January 3, 1998.  This  reduction  is the net
effect of normal  ongoing  accruals  combined with the payment  during the first
quarter of 1998 of sales commissions and audit fees that had been accrued during
1997.

         At April 4, 1998,  the Company had  Promissory  Note and capital  lease
obligations,  for the purpose of financing production equipment, with SierraWest
Bank, in the amount of $316,000.  The current  portion of this  indebtedness  is
$119,000 at April 4, 1998, with the remaining portion of $197,000  classified as
long-term  debt.  These  obligations  bear  annual  interest at rates of 9.5% to
10.75%.

         The  Company  also has a line of credit for  $400,000  with  SierraWest
Bank,  which  expires in October 1998 and bears  interest at the prime rate plus
1.5%. At April 4, 1998 and January 3, 1998,  the Company was in compliance  with
all of the covenants of this loan agreement and no amounts were outstanding.

Future Outlook
--------------

           The  Company's  backlog of  unfilled  customer  orders of  $7,841,000
provides a stable platform for the balance of 1998.*  Chesapeake  Sciences Corp.
currently  accounts for  approximately  59% of this total  backlog.  The Company
currently anticipates that deliveries of data acquisition products to Chesapeake
will remain stable for the remainder of the current year.* However, there can be
no assurance that changes or delays in delivery  schedules  will not occur.  The
Company believes that results of operations and its existing line of credit will
provide sufficient cash to meet operating needs over the next twelve months.*

         Since  customers  may  place  orders  for  delivery  at  various  times
throughout the year, and due to the possibility of customer  changes in delivery
schedules or  cancellation  of orders,  the Company's  backlog at any particular
date may not be a reliable indicator of actual future sales.


<PAGE>


         The  Company's  expanded  sales  force  is  continuing  to  pursue  new
opportunities  in the  marketplace.  The  Company  believes  that  this  effort,
combined with our current backlog, will yield positive results for 1998.*

         The foregoing discussion contains  forward-looking  statements that are
made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially. Investors are warned
that forward-looking  statements involve risks and uncertainties  including, but
not  limited to,  customer  cancellation  or  rescheduling  of orders,  problems
affecting delivery of raw materials and components,  unanticipated technical and
manufacturing  problems and availability of direct labor resources.  The Company
disclaims any responsibility to update the forward-looking  statements contained
herein, except as may be required by law.
