                                  APRIL 3, 1999
                                   (Unaudited)

     1. In the  opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  include  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
adjustments)  that are  necessary  in order  to make  the  financial  statements
contained herein not misleading.  These financial statements, notes and analyses
should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements for the fiscal year
ended January 2, 1999, and notes  thereto,  which are contained in the Company's
Annual  Report on Form 10-KSB for such fiscal year.  The results for the quarter
ended April 3, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected for the entire year ending January 1, 2000.  The Company  operates on a
52/53 week fiscal year, which approximates the calendar year.

     2.  The  Company  leases  its  main  Carson  City  facility  pursuant  to a
continuing lease expiring in 2005. It also leases a small amount of office space
pursuant to a lease expiring in March 2000. The aggregate  future minimum rental

publicly  held.  This  Statement  simplifies  the  standards  for  computing EPS
presently contained in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per
Share".  This Statement  replaces the  presentation of primary and fully diluted
EPS under APB No. 15 with the presentation of basic and diluted EPS. The Company
adopted the provisions of this Statement during the year ended January 3, 1998.

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 Form  10-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).  All statements
made herein are made as of the date of filing of this Form  10-QSB.  The Company
disclaims  any duty to update such  statements  after the date of filing of this
Form 10-QSB, except as required by law.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net  revenues  for  the  quarter  ended  April  3,  1999  were  $1,717,000,
representing  a 52%  decrease  from net revenues of  $3,587,000  for the quarter
ended April 4, 1998.  This large  reduction  in net  revenues is the result of a
customer  requested  "hold"  placed on  shipments  by the Company to its largest
customer,  Chesapeake Sciences Corp., in mid-February.  This "hold" results from
the  combined  effect of low crude oil prices and a current  abundant  supply of
oil, which has curtailed the current demand for  additional  marine  geophysical
exploration  hardware.  Net revenues from shipments to Chesapeake Sciences Corp.
amounted to $408,000  (24% of net  revenues)  for the first  quarter of 1999, as
compared to $2.2 million (64% of net revenues) during the first quarter of 1998.

     Cost of sales was $1,424,000 or 83% of net revenues,  for the quarter ended
April 3, 1999 as compared to $2,181,000, or 61% of net revenues, for the quarter
ended April 4, 1998. This large increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net
revenues  is the result of  spreading  fixed costs over a much  smaller  revenue
base.

     Engineering and development expenses were $243,000, or 14% of net revenues,
for the quarter  ended April 3, 1999,  as  compared  to  $224,000,  or 6% of net
revenues,  for the  quarter  ended  April 4,  1998.  Increased  engineering  and
development  expenditures  are a direct result of higher  employee  compensation
costs attributable to increases in professional engineering staff.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $286,000, or 17% of net
revenues, for the quarter ended April 3, 1999, as compared to $272,000, or 8% of
net revenues, in the quarter ended April 4, 1998. This increase in dollar amount
is  primarily  the  result  of  increases  in  compensation  costs due to higher
staffing levels,  partially  offset by decreases in commission,  travel and data
processing expenses.

<PAGE>

     As a result of the significant and unanticipated  reduction in revenue, the
Company had an operating loss of $236,000 for the quarter ended April 3, 1999 as
compared to operating profit of $910,000 for the quarter ended April 4, 1998.

     Net  interest  income was $17,000  for the  quarter  ended April 3, 1999 as
compared to $7,000 for the quarter ended April 4, 1998, as a result of increased
cash balances in interest- bearing accounts.

     Income tax expense of $15,000 was recognized for the quarter ended April 3,
1999 as compared to no income tax expense for the prior year period. The Company
has remaining future tax credit carryforwards for federal income tax purposes at
January 2, 1999 of approximately $134,000. These carryforwards will not expire.

     The Company's  backlog of  deliverable  customer  orders was  $3,756,000 at
April 3, 1999,  as compared to $7,841,000  at April 4, 1998,  and  $9,390,000 at
January 2, 1999. This large reduction in deliverable backlog from prior year-end
results  from  the  "indefinite   hold" placed  on  delivery  by  Chesapeake  on
approximately  $4,800,000  of orders.  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.

     As a result of the hold on delivery of Chesapeake  orders,  the Company has
reduced its direct production and production support work force by 32 employees.
In addition, executive, technical and administrative staff compensation has been
temporarily reduced and capital equipment expenditures curtailed.  The Company's
technical  engineering  staff is  critical to our efforts to attract and support
new business opportunities  therefore there have been no personnel reductions in
this area.

INFORMATION AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS (YEAR 2000)

     The Company relies on an internal  computer  network for much of its day-to
day  operating  and  financial  information.  The software for this network is a
commercial  `off-the-shelf'  package  provided  and  maintained  by a  reputable
supplier.  As of the date of this  filing,  the  supplier  has  installed at the
Company  software  revisions  that  were  represented  by the  supplier  to have
eliminated any anticipated potential problems with the Year 2000.

     Further, the Company has over 40 individual computer work-stations attached
to the network,  all of which have been individually tested and found to be Year
2000  compliant.  The Company has also  initiated a survey of its major material
suppliers  regarding  their state of  preparation  and action to avert Year 2000
problems.  As of the date of this filing,  approximately  61% of these suppliers
have responded to this survey and all respondents are  anticipating  timely Year
2000 compliance.  The Company is making additional contact with  non-respondents
at this time. The Company  anticipates that its supplier survey will be complete
by June 30, 1999.
<PAGE>

     The cost of the Company's  preparations  for Year 2000  computer  readiness
have  been  minimal  thus  far  and  as  of  this  filing  are  estimated  to be
approximately  $25,000.  All costs have been funded through operating cash flow.
Future costs are not expected to be material at this time.

     In addition,  the Company  believes that its major  customers and financial
institutions  have taken,  or are in process of taking,  actions  sufficient  to
protect the Company from adverse  effects of the Year 2000 in their own internal
systems.

     Management of the Company believes it has an effective  program in place to
resolve  the Year 2000 issue in a timely  manner.  In the event that the Company
and its third  parties do not  complete  all  additional  Year 2000 efforts in a
timely manner,  or that its  remediation  efforts do not resolve the anticipated
problems,  disruptions  in the Company's  day-to-day  operations  may occur.  In
addition,  disruptions in the economy in general resulting from Year 2000 issues
could also  materially  adversely  affect the  Company.  The amount of potential
liability and lost revenue cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

     At the present time, the Company does not have a formal contingency plan in
the event it does not successfully complete all phases of its Year 2000 efforts.
The  Company  plans to  evaluate  the  status of its  progress  in June 1999 and
determine if such a plan is necessary.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash position  decreased to $2,070,000 at April 3, 1999, from
$2,637,000 at January 2, 1999.  This decrease is the combined result of $550,000
used in operating  activities,  $2,000 used to purchase  capital  equipment  and
$15,000 used in financing activities.

     Accounts  receivable  were  $1,749,000  at April 3, 1999,  as  compared  to
$1,918,000  at January 2, 1999.  This  decrease  is  primarily  attributable  to
reduced  sales  during  the  current   quarter,   partially  offset  by  reduced
collections.  At  April  3,  1999,  approximately  $1,043,000,  or 58% of  total
receivables,  were in  excess  of 60 days,  virtually  all of which  relates  to
Chesapeake Sciences  Corp. As of May 10, 1999,  Chesapeake  has paid $681,000 of
this amount and the remaining balance is anticipated in the near future.*

     Inventories  were  $2,697,000 at April 3 1999, as compared to $2,482,000 at
January  2,  1999.  This  increase  is the  result  of a small  increase  in raw
materials combined with a larger amount of Chesapeake product that was completed
and held in  finished  goods.  The  Chesapeake  inventory  carries the risk of a
potential  future  write-down.  (See  Note  3. Of  Notes  to  Interim  Financial
Statements on page 6.)

     Prepaid expenses and deposits were $108,000 at April 3, 1999 as compared to
$39,000 at January 2, 1999.  This  increase  reflects  normal  ongoing  business
transactions.
<PAGE>

     Accounts payable were $235,000 at April 3, 1999, as compared to $312,000 at
January 2, 1999, reflecting an overall reduced level of procurement activity.

     Accrued  employee  compensation and benefits were $210,000 at April 3, 1999
as  compared  to $404,000 at January 2, 1999.  This  reduction  is the  combined
result of payment, during the first quarter, of the 1998 accrued employee profit
sharing  earned in fiscal 1998,  together  with changes in the timing of payroll
accruals at quarter end and the personnel reductions made in late February.

     Accrued warranty,  commissions and other expenses were $172,000 at April 3,
1999 as  compared  to $194,000  at January 2, 1999.  This  reduction  is the net
effect of normal  ongoing  accruals  combined with the payment  during the first
quarter of 1999 of sales commissions and audit fees that had been accrued during
1998.

     At April 3,  1999,  the  Company  had  Promissory  Note and  capital  lease
obligations,  for the purpose of financing production equipment, with SierraWest
Bank, in the amount of $169,000.  The current  portion of this  indebtedness  is
$105,000 at April 3, 1999, with the remaining  portion of $64,000  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 $1,000,000 with SierraWest  Bank,
which expires in May 2000 and bears interest at the prime rate. At April 3, 1999
and January 2, 1999, the Company was in compliance  with all of the covenants of
this loan agreement and no amounts were outstanding.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

     The  Company,  historically,  has been  very  dependent  on a single  large
customer,  Chesapeake  Sciences  Corp.,  that accounted for 64% of the Company's
1998 net revenues. As recently announced,  and as a result of current low market
prices for crude oil combined with a market "glut" on the crude oil supply side,
Chesapeake  has  placed  their  current  orders  with  the  Company,  valued  at
approximately $4.8 million,  on an indefinite "hold status".  Although no orders
have been cancelled at this point,  it cannot be determined at this time when or
if  shipments  to  Chesapeake  will  resume.  The  Company  currently  does  not
anticipate  any further  shipments to Chesapeake for the remainder of 1999.* The
oil  exploration  market has a history of cyclical  activity.  While the Company
believes that this market will eventually recover, there are no firm predictions
as to the timing of any recovery,  or any  guarantees  that such a recovery will
take place. This recent change will have a large negative impact on revenues and
operating results for fiscal 1999.

     At April 3, 1999, the Company's  backlog of shippable  customer  orders for
the remainder of 1999 was  approximately  $2,900,000.  The Company needs to book
another  $1.5 to $2.5  million in new  business  to achieve  its  previous  1999
revenue estimate of $6 to $7 million. At the present time, however,  there is no
assurance  that such new  business  can or will be  captured  in time to have an
impact on 1999 operating results. Further changes or delays in existing delivery

<PAGE>

schedules could also have a negative impact on the Company's operating results.*
The Company currently  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.

     In addition to the negative impact of the current Chesapeake "hold status",
the Company has approximately  $1,500,000 in raw material,  work-in-process  and
finished  goods  inventory  for the  Chesapeake  program.  While the Company has
certain  rights to recover costs in the event of outright  termination  of these
orders, there is currently no assurance that all inventory costs can or would be
recovered. The potential for a write-down of inventory value exists in the event
of the future termination of these orders.

     Further, the Company anticipates that gross margins will be reduced in 1999
from  prior  year  levels as a result of  spreading  fixed  costs over a smaller
revenue base.

     The  Company  is  currently   attempting   to  expand  its  outside   Sales
Representative force as an additional means to attract additional new business.*
As these individuals are compensated  strictly on a commission basis on shipment
of orders, there is no "up-front" expense involved in expanding in this area.

     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.
