                                       NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                                SEPTEMBER 27, 1997
                                                    (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 December 28, 1996, 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 September 27, 1997 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may
be expected for the entire year ending January 3, 1998. The Company  operates on
a 52/53 week fiscal year, which approximates the calendar year.

         2. The Company leases its Carson City facility pursuant to a continuing
lease  expiring in 2005. The aggregate  future minimum rental  commitments as of
September 27, 1997 for this lease were:


                                    1997                       39,423
                                    1998                      160,056
                                    1999                      164,856
                                    2000                      169,800
                                    2001 - 2005               828,678
                                                           ----------
                                                           $1,359,843
                                                           ----------

         3.        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined 
                   using the first-in,  first-out  method)or market.  
                   Inventories consisted of:

                                                     9-27-97            12-28-96
                                                     -------          ---------

                  Raw Material                      $586,246            $279,149
                  Work-In-Process                    724,665             772,462
                  Finished Goods                      46,140             217,270
                                                     -------           ---------
                                                  $1,357,051          $1,268,881
                                                  ----------          ----------

         4.  Plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at cost  and  depreciated  on a
straight-line  basis over the  estimated  useful life of the  assets,  generally
three to eight years.

         5. In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share,  which is required to be adopted for both
interim and annual  financial  statements  for periods ending after December 15,
1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method  currently
used to compute  earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the
new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, (whose name will be
changed to Basic  Earnings per Share) the dilutive  effect of stock options will
be excluded. This impact is expected to result in a one cent increase in the net
income per share for the quarter and nine months ended  September 27, 1997 and a
one cent and two cent  increase,  respectively,  for the quarter and nine months
ended September 28, 1996.

Item 2.                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                                    Condition and Results 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 interim  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  factors  set forth  below  and 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  September 27, 1997  decreased by 2%
from net revenues for the quarter ended September 28, 1996. Net revenues for the
quarter ended September 27, 1997 were $2,047,000,  as compared to $2,095,000 for
the quarter  ended  September  28, 1996.  Net revenues for the nine months ended
September 27, 1997  decreased  14% to $5,815,000  from net revenues for the nine
months ended September 28, 1996 of $6,761,000. The overall reduction in revenues
for  the  nine-month  period  results  from  reduced  demand  for  product  from
Chesapeake  Sciences Corp., the Company's largest customer.  Sales to Chesapeake
for the nine months ended  September  27,1997 were  approximately  $2.8 million,
(48% of net  revenues),  as compared to  approximately  $4.6 million (68% of net
revenues), for the prior year nine-month period.

         The Company's  backlog of customer  orders was $10,554,000 at September
27, 1997 as compared to  $5,181,000  at September  28, 1996,  and  $6,474,000 at
December 28, 1996.  Approximately  $9,775,000  of the total backlog at September
27, 1997 is currently  scheduled  for shipment  during the next twelve  months.*
Approximately  $6,658,000,  or 63%, of the total backlog  relates to orders from
Chesapeake Sciences.  Because customers may place orders for delivery at various
times  throughout  the year, and due to the  possibility of customer  changes in
delivery schedules (which have been experienced in the past), or cancellation of
orders with little or no penalty,  the  Company's  backlog as of any  particular
date may not be indicative of actual future sales.*  (Historically,  the Company
has not suffered any material  order  cancellations  by  Chesapeake or its other
larger customers over the past seven years.)

         Cost of sales was $1,387,000,  or 68% of net revenues,  for the quarter
ended September 27, 1997, as compared to $1,407,000, or 67% of net revenues, for
the quarter ended  September  28, 1996.  Cost of sales for the nine months ended
September  27,  1997 was  $4,012,000,  or 69% of net  revenues,  as  compared to
$4,591,000,  or 68% of net  revenues,  for the nine months ended  September  28,
1996.  The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net revenues  reflects a
slight  increase in the cost of direct  labor,  increased  depreciation  expense
resulting from the replacement of older  production  equipment and the spreading
of fixed costs over a smaller revenue base.

         Engineering  and  development  expenses  were  $197,000,  or 10% of net
revenues,  for the quarter ended September 27, 1997, as compared to $172,000, or
8% of net revenues,  for the quarter ended  September 28, 1996.  Engineering and
development expenses for the nine months ended September 27, 1997 were $555,000,
or 10% of net revenues, as compared to $461,000, or 7% of net revenues,  for the
nine months  ended  September  28, 1996.  The  increase in the dollar  amount of
engineering  and  development  expenses  for the quarter  and nine months  ended
September 27, 1997,  as compared to the quarter and nine months ended  September
28, 1996, is primarily  attributable to increased  compensation  costs resulting
from    hiring    of    additional    personnel    required    for    additional
engineering-intensive programs.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $180,000,  or 9% of
net revenues, for the quarter ended September 27, 1997, as compared to $153,000,
or 7% of net revenues in the quarter ended September 28, 1996. Selling,  general
and  administrative  expenses for the nine months ended  September 27, 1997 were
$513,000, or 9% of net revenues, as compared to $470,000, or 7% of net revenues,
for the nine months ended  September 28, 1996. The increase in the dollar amount
of selling,  general and  administrative  expenditures  for the quarter and nine
months ended  September 27, 1997 is mainly  attributable  to increased costs for
the recruitment, relocation and training of additional personnel in the sale and
marketing  areas combined with increased  expenditures  for data  processing and
professional services

         The Company had an operating  profit of $282,000 for the quarter  ended
September  27,  1997,  as compared to an  operating  profit of $364,000  for the
quarter ended September 28, 1996. The decrease in quarterly operating results is
the result of slightly lower sales  combined with  increases in engineering  and
development expense and selling,  general and administrative  expenses described
above. The Company had an operating profit of $735,000 for the nine months ended
September  27, 1997, as compared to an operating  profit of  $1,238,000  for the
nine months ended September 28, 1996. This reduction  results from a 14% decline
in revenues  combined with increased  operating  expenses  during the first nine
months of 1997.

         Interest  income  increased  to  $28,000  for  the  nine  months  ended
September 27, 1997 as compared to $5,000 for the prior year nine month period as
a result of larger average monthly cash balances in interest bearing accounts.

         Federal  income tax expense of $7,500 and $47,500 was recognized in the
quarter and nine months ended September 27, 1997,  respectively,  as a result of
the  alternative  minimum tax. There was no income tax expense in the prior year
periods.  The Company has remaining net operating loss carryforwards for federal
income tax purposes at December 28, 1996 of  approximately  $4.3 million.  These
carryforwards will expire between 2004 and 2008.






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

         The Company had  $1,618,000  in cash at September 27, 1997, as compared
to $1,427,000  at December 28, 1996.  This increase of $191,000 from year end is
comprised of $357,000  provided by operating  activities and $12,000 in proceeds
from the exercise of stock  options,  partially  offset by $149,000 used for the
purchase  of  capital   equipment  and  $28,000  used  in  equipment   financing
activities.  Cash generated by operating activities is primarily attributable to
net income and increases in accounts  payable,  partially offset by increases in
accounts receivable and decreases in compensation payable and customer deposits.

         Accounts  receivable were $1,550,000 at September 28, 1997, as compared
to $1,126,000  at December 28, 1996.  This increase is the result of an increase
in sales  volume in the  quarter  ended  September  27,  1997 as compared to the
quarter  ended  December  28,  1996,  combined  with the late receipt of a large
payment from one of the Company's largest customers.

         Inventories  were  $1,357,000  at September  27,  1997,  as compared to
$1,269,000 at December 28, 1996. This increase is the net result of increases in
raw material in anticipation of higher level fourth quarter shipments, partially
offset by a reduction in finished goods.

         Prepaid  expenses and deposits  were $66,000 at September  27, 1997 as 
compared to $43,000 at December 28, 1996.  This increase reflects normal ongoing
 business transactions.

         Property,  plant and  equipment  increased to $425,000 at September 27,
1997,  as compared to  $370,000  at 1996 fiscal year end,  due to the  Company's
purchase of new production and data processing equipment.

         Accounts  payable were  $667,000 at September  27, 1997, as compared to
$268,000 at December  28,  1996.  This  increase is  primarily  the result of an
increased purchases of raw material, production supplies and equipment.

         Accrued  employee  compensation and benefits were $192,000 at September
27,  1997,  as  compared to $349,000 at  December  28,  1996.  This  decrease is
primarily the result of reduced  amounts accrued for employee profit sharing due
to lower operating income levels in 1997.

         Accrued  warranty,  commissions  and  other  accrued  liabilities  were
$150,000 at September  27,  1997,  as compared to $169,000 at December 28, 1996.
This reduction reflects normal recurring accruals and transactions.

         Customer  deposits  decreased  to  $37,000  at  September  27,  1997 as
compared  to $172,000 at December  28,  1996,  as the result of the  delivery of
pre-paid products to customers.

         At  September  27,  1997 the Company had  long-term  obligations  under
capital lease of $40,000  outstanding  on its  equipment  lease  agreement  with
SierraWest  Bank.  This is a reduction from $68,000  outstanding at December 28,
1996, as a result of the repayment of lease  obligations.  The Company uses this
lease agreement to finance certain purchases of capital equipment.

         At September 27, 1997 the Company  maintained a $100,000 revolving line
of credit with SierraWest  Bank. At such date the Company was in compliance with
all covenants of the loan agreement and no amounts were outstanding.  On October
14,  1997,  the  Company  renegotiated  the credit line with  SierraWest  for an
additional  twelve month period,  increasing the amount available under the line
to $400,000 and reducing the interest rate from prime rate plus 2% to prime plus
1.5%.


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

         The  Company's  backlog  of  unfilled  customer  orders  has  increased
significantly  to a total of  $10,554,000  at September  27, 1997 as compared to
$6,474,000  at  December  28,  1996  and   $5,181,000  at  September  28,  1996.
Approximately  $9,775,000  of the  total  backlog  is  currently  scheduled  for
shipment  over the next  twelve  months.*  However,  due to the  possibility  of
customer changes in delivery schedules (which have been experienced in the past)
or cancellation of orders with little or no penalty, the Company's backlog as of
any  particular  date may not be indicative  of actual future sales.  Chesapeake
Sciences accounts for $6,658,000 or 63% of the total backlog.  While the Company
believes  the  current  Chesapeake  delivery  schedule  provides  a  significant
opportunity to increase  revenues in future periods,  it is not without risk. An
inability  to meet the  delivery  schedule  due to  significant,  unanticipated,
materials  shortages or insufficient  labor resources could result in a build-up
of undeliverable  partially completed product which would have a negative effect
on  liquidity  and  financial  performance.  In  addition,  with a single  large
customer  of the  magnitude  of  Chesapeake,  any major order  re-scheduling  or
cancellation would have a material negative impact on financial results.

         In addition  to the current  backlog,  the  Company  has  expanded  its
personnel  resources  in the  sales and  marketing  function.  As a result,  the
Company  has  developed  several  opportunities  to broaden its client base with
potential new customers in both commercial and military/aerospace applications.*
Further,  sales  of  the  Company's  Thermo-Electric  Cooler  Controller  (TECC)
products  (while not large in  absolute  dollars)  continue to grow in number of
customers and unit volumes.

Management  believes  that  ongoing  operations  during the  remainder  of 1997,
together with its line of credit,  will provide  sufficient  cash to meet normal
operating needs without additional financing activities through the remainder of
the current  fiscal  year.*  However,  since the  Company  desires to expand its
technological base and production capacity, additional financing from new equity
or debt  financing may be  necessary.*  In such case,  there can be no assurance
that such financing  will be available on terms  acceptable to the Company or at
all.

         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 unknown factors including, but
not  limited to,  customer  cancellation  or  rescheduling  of orders,  problems
affecting   delivery  of   vendor-supplied   raw   materials   and   components,
unanticipated 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.
