                      NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
                                   (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 1,
2000, 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
30, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for
the entire year ending  December 30, 2000. The Company  operates on a 52/53 week

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 30, 2000 increased by 70% from
net revenues for the quarter ended October 2, 1999. Net revenues for the quarter
ended  September 30, 2000 were  $1,728,000,  as compared to  $1,015,000  for the
quarter ended October 2, 1999. Net revenues for the nine months ended  September
30, 2000 increased 46% to $5,827,000 from net revenues for the nine months ended
October 2, 1999 of $4,003,000.  The increase in revenues  during the quarter and
nine-month period reflects  increased unit sales of both custom circuits and the
Company's  standard  products.  Although results of operations for the year 2000
periods showed  improvement  over the comparable  periods in 1999, third quarter
2000 revenues and earnings fell short of the Company's internal expectations. In
addition,  revenues from optical products  declined in the third quarter of 2000
in comparison to the second quarter of 2000.

     In spite of the  disappointing  results,  however,  customer  activity  was
strong and bookings were up significantly in the quarter.  The Company's backlog
of  customer  orders was  $4,931,000  at  September  30,  2000,  as  compared to
$3,802,000  at October  2,  1999,  and  $4,498,000  at January 1, 2000.  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.*

     Cost of sales was $1,111,000, or 64% of net revenues, for the quarter ended
September  30, 2000, as compared to $968,000,  or 95% of net  revenues,  for the
quarter ended October 2, 1999. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was $3,809,000,  or 65% of net revenues, as compared to $3,615,000,  or
90% of net revenues,  for the nine months ended  October 2, 1999.  Cost of sales
was favorably impacted in the third quarter of 2000 by a $200,000  adjustment of
inventory reserves for the Chesapeake program. Chesapeake made the final payment
for inventory and  associated  costs in September  2000, in accordance  with the
term of the  Final  Settlement  Agreement.  The  decrease  in cost of sales as a
percentage of net revenues  results  primarily from the spreading of fixed costs
over a higher revenue base.

<PAGE>

     Engineering and development expenses were $215,000, or 12% of net revenues,
for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $200,000, or 20% of net
revenues,  for the quarter ended October 2, 1999.  Engineering  and  development
expenses for the nine months ended  September 30, 2000 were $678,000,  or 12% of
net  revenues,  as compared to $647,000,  or 16% of net  revenues,  for the nine
months ended October 2, 1999. The increase in  expenditures  in the 2000 quarter
and  nine  month  period  reflects   additional   effort  on  standard   product
development. The decrease as a percentage of net revenues is due to a higher net
revenue base.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $338,000, or 20% of net
revenues,  for the quarter ended September 30, 2000, as compared to $286,000, or
28% of net revenues in the quarter ended October 2, 1999.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000 were
$993,000,  or  17% of net  revenues,  as  compared  to  $806,000,  or 20% of net
revenues,  for the nine months ended  October 2, 1999.  The increase in selling,
general  and  administrative  expenses  is  the  combined  result  of  increased
expenditures for compensation, advertising and sales promotion, sales commission
expense, travel expense, data processing and shareholder-related expenses.

     The  Company  had an  operating  profit of $64,000  for the  quarter  ended
September 30, 2000, as compared to an operating loss of $440,000 for the quarter
ended  October 2, 1999.  If not for the  reversal  of the  Chesapeake  inventory
reserves,  the  Company  would have  reported  an  operating  loss for the third
quarter of 2000 of $136,000. As a result of increased revenues,  the Company had
an operating  profit of $347,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to an operating loss of $1,065,000 for the nine months ended October 2,
1999.

     Net  interest  income  increased  to  $193,000  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  2000,  as compared to $78,000 for the prior  nine-month  period,
primarily as a result of interest payments received on the Chesapeake contract.

     No income tax expense was recognized in the nine months ended September 30,
2000.  Income tax expense in the prior year period was $15,000.  The Company has
remaining  future net operating  loss and tax credit  carryforwards  for federal
income tax purposes of approximately $1,122,000 and $134,000,  respectively. The
net  operating  loss  carryforwards  will  expire  in 2020  and  the tax  credit
carryforwards will not expire.

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

     The Company had  $4,211,000 in cash and cash  equivalents  at September 30,
2000, as compared to $2,515,000 at January 1, 2000.  This increase of $1,696,000
from year end is  comprised  of  $1,562,000  provided  by  operating  activities
(primarily  Chesapeake  Sciences  payment for  inventory),  partially  offset by
$164,000  used for the purchase of capital  equipment  and $298,000  provided by
financing  activities  ($39,000  used in payment of  capital  lease  obligations
offset by $337,000 in proceeds from stock option exercises).

     Accounts  receivable  were $1,137,000 at September 30, 2000, as compared to
$728,000 at January 1, 2000. This increase results from increased sales volume.

<PAGE>

     Inventories   were  $2,995,000  at  September  30,  2000,  as  compared  to
$2,606,000 at January 1, 2000. The inventory increase consists of additional raw
materials to support  increased  orders, a reduction in finished goods inventory
and a reduction in inventory reserves resulting from the Chesapeake payment.

     Prepaid  expenses  and  deposits  were  $92,000 at  September  30,  2000 as
compared to $74,000 at January 1, 2000.  This increase  reflects  normal ongoing
business transactions.

     Property, plant and equipment,  net, decreased to $606,000 at September 30,
2000, as compared to $674,000 at January 1, 2000. This decrease is the result of
depreciation on existing equipment, partially offset by new equipment purchases.

     Accounts  payable  were  $289,000 at  September  30,  2000,  as compared to
$265,000 at January 1, 2000.

     Accrued  employee  compensation and benefits were $256,000 at September 30,
2000, as compared to $134,000 at January 1, 2000. This increase  reflects profit
sharing  accruals for the current  nine-month  period and differences in accrued
payroll amounts due to pay period timing at quarter end.

     Accrued warranty,  commissions and other accrued  liabilities were $159,000
at  September  30,  2000,  as  compared  to  $285,000  at January 1, 2000.  This
reduction reflects normal recurring accruals and transactions and the subsequent
payment of items accrued at January 1, 2000.

     Customer  deposits  were  $1,617,000  at September  30, 2000 as compared to
$32,000  at January 1,  2000.  The  entire  amount is related to the  Chesapeake
program and will be adjusted as product is shipped to Chesapeake in the future.

     At  September  30,  2000,  the  Company  had  no  short-term  or  long-term
obligations  under  loan and  capital  lease  agreements  with  Bank of the West
(formerly  SierraWest  Bank).  This is a reduction  from $39,000  outstanding at
January 1, 2000, as a result of the repayment of capital lease obligations.  The
Company uses these loan and lease  agreements  to finance  certain  purchases of
capital equipment.

     At September 30, 2000, the Company also  maintained a $1,000,000  revolving
line of credit with Bank of the West (formerly  SierraWest  Bank). At such date,
the Company was in compliance  with all  covenants of the loan  agreement and no
amounts were outstanding. Interest on this line of credit is at the prime rate.


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

     At September 30, 2000, the Company's total backlog was  approximately  $4.9
million of which  approximately  $2.2  million is  scheduled  to ship during the
remainder of fiscal year 2000.  While the operating  results for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 are an improvement over the prior year, we still have a
long way to go to reach the next plateau.

<PAGE>

     Customer orders booked improved  significantly in the third quarter and are
continuing on a strong trend as we enter the fourth  quarter.  While there is no
assurance  that this trend will  continue,  we are  encouraged  by the number of
potential  opportunities  for  additional  business  that  are on the  horizon.*
Although shipments of our optical support products declined in the third quarter
from the previous  quarter level,  customer  interest in these products  remains
strong.  Several  potential  volume  customers*  have indicated that our optical
support products are "designed in" to their upcoming applications.

     Our relationship  with Chesapeake  Sciences Corp. is still very strong.  We
believe there are significant  opportunities  to participate  with Chesapeake in
new programs  (other than  geophysical  exploration)  that are expected to arise
within the next year.* To this end, we intend to add  additional  equipment  and
manufacturing processes, which will include automated pick and place capability,
Ball Grid Array (BGA)  attachment  and Flip-Chip  mounting to expand our overall
manufacturing  capability and provide  additional  options to our customers.* We
currently  anticipate the capital  expenditure  for these added  capabilities to
occur in the first quarter of 2001.*

     The Company's cash position  increased by $1.7 million in the quarter ended
September 30, 2000, to  approximately  $4.2 million.  Chesapeake  Sciences final
payment under the "Final Settlement Agreement"  contributed $1.4 million of this
cash  increase.  We believe that this cash  position,  together with our line of
credit, will provide sufficient cash to meet operating needs for the next twelve
months.* However,  the Company may pursue additional debt or equity financing in
the future should significant opportunities for expansion arise.*

     The foregoing  discussion  contains  statements  that are  forward-looking.
Actual results could differ  materially.  The primary factors that could cause a
material  difference in actual  results  include  failure to expand the customer
base,  customer  cancellation  or  rescheduling  of orders,  problems  affecting
delivery of  vendor-supplied  raw materials  and  components or the inability to
attract and retain qualified personnel sufficient to meet customer requirements.
The  Company  disclaims  any   responsibility  to  update  the   forward-looking
statements contained herein, except as may be required by law.
