	              Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
			                          (Unaudited)
			                       September 30, 1996

Note 1 - Unaudited Information:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with 
the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of
Regulation SB.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements reflect all adjustments (which comprise only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's
consolidated financial position as of September 30, 1996, and
the results of its operations for the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the
nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  Operating
results for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1996. Information included in the consolidated balance sheet as
of December 31, 1995 has been derived from the Company's audited
financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1995, to which reference is made. 
Certain reclassifications were made to the December 31, 1995 and
September 30, 1995 amounts to conform to current period
presentations.  

Note 2 - Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market.  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method
for machine parts and specific identification for machines held
for sale.

Note 3 - Capitalized Software Costs

The Company capitalizes computer software development
costs in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs
of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed".
Costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of
computer software are expensed as incurred.  Costs incurred for
product enhancements, subsequent to establishing technological
feasibility, are capitalized and stated at the lower of cost or
net realizable value.  Capitalized costs are amortized using the
straight-line method over five years, which approximates the
estimated remaining useful life of the product.  Amortization of
computer software costs amounted to $152,157 and $124,254 for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and $54,869 and $41,668 for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 

Note 4 - Revenue Recognition

Revenue from equipment and systems sales is
recognized upon shipment to the buyer and satisfaction of
related obligations by the Company.  Revenue from software
licensing is recognized on delivery of the software if
collectibility is probable and any remaining insignificant
obligations of the Company are accounted for by deferring a pro
rata portion of revenue and recognizing it either ratably as the
obligations are fulfilled or on completion of performance or by
recording a current year expense for the remaining costs
associated with completing the project.

Note 5 - Equipment Maintenance and Service Revenue

Equipment maintenance and service revenue is
recognized as earned over the term of the contract, which is
generally a maximum of one year in length.  Deferred revenue
represents the unearned portion of equipment maintenance and
service fees.

Note 6 - Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the
provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for Income Taxes". 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for income tax  purposes, and operating loss carryforwards.

The income tax provision for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was $218,000 and $78,000,
respectively.  For the three month period ended September 30,
1996 and 1995, the provision was $11,000 and ($17,545),

COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,
 1996 TO THE NINE MONTHS SEPTEMBER 30,1995.

Revenues for the first nine months of 1996 were
$5,992,313, which was a decrease of $75,201 (1.2%) from the
first nine months of 1995.  Equipment and system sales declined
$94,562 (2.2%) while maintenance revenue increased $19,361
(1.1%).  The Company's subsidiary, Innovative Electronics, Inc.,
("IEI") system sales revenue declined $239,307 which was
partially offset by a $144,745 increase from ATS Parent
Company.  IEI's maintenance  revenue declined  $26,141 
while ATS Parent Company maintenance increased $45,502.

Cost of equipment and system sales, as a percentage
of sales, declined from 45.0% in the first nine months of 1995
to 43.9% in the first nine months of 1996 primarily due to ATS
Parent Company sales of more profitable systems.  Combined
maintenance costs, as a percentage of maintenance revenue, also
declined from 42.4% in 1995 to 40.7% in 1996,  as a result of a
change in third party maintenance vendors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$2,869,106 in the first nine months of 1996 compared to
$3,129,377 in the comparable period of 1995.  This was a
decrease of $260,271 or (8.3%).  Legal expenses were $80,795 in
1996 compared to $409,411 in 1995.  During 1995, the Company
entered into a Settlement Agreement which resolved a potential
proxy contest and legal expenses connected therewith were
$349,007; no comparable legal expenses were incurred in the
first nine months of 1996.  All other selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $88,736 and were primarily due
to an increase in professional fees.

Interest income for the first nine months of 1996 was
$33,235 compared to $21,303 in the first nine months of 1995 due
to a larger amount of short term investments.

As a result of the foregoing, the first nine months
of 1996 produced income before taxes of $582,685 compared to
$274,311, an increase of $308,374 (112.4%).  The provision for
income taxes for the first nine months of 1996 was $218,000 with
a net profit of $364,685.  This was $168,374 (85.8%) greater
than the first nine months of 1995.


COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
 SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.

Revenues for the three month period ended September
30, 1996, were $1,739,363, a decrease of $432,730 (19.9%) from
the three month period ended September 30, 1995.  Equipment and
system sales declined $394,124 (25.1%) primarily due to a
$360,252 fall off in IEI's system sales. The Parent Company also
realized a decline of $33,872.  Maintenance revenues of $561,392
for the third quarter of 1996 were $38,606 (6.4%) below the
comparable quarter of 1995.  Both companies experienced
declines, Innovative ($33,010) and ATS Parent Company ($5,596).

Cost of equipment and systems, as a percentage of
sales, increased from 43.9% in the three month period ended
September 30, 1995, to 49.2% in the comparable quarter of 1996. 
Engineering costs at IEI were 66.9% of the low sales volume
compared to 48.0% of a higher sales volume in the 1995 quarter. 
Maintenance costs of ATS Parent Company fell from 47.7% of 
revenue in the third quarter of 1995 to 44.5% of revenue in the
third quarter of 1996.  This was primarily due to lower costs
from a new third party maintenance vendor.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996 were $921,174,
compared to $1,353,393 in the 1995 quarter.  During 1995, the
Company entered into a Settlement Agreement which resolved a
potential proxy contest   Legal expenses connected therewith
were $349,007. There were no comparable expenses in 1996.  

Interest income was $13,363 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996, compared to $5,369 for the third
quarter of 1995.  This was due to a larger amount of short term
investments.

The provision for income taxes in the current quarter
was $11,000 compared to a $17,545 tax benefit in the three month
period of 1995.

As a result of the foregoing, the net income for the
three month period ended September 30, 1996 was $13,521 compared
to a loss of $100,814 in the three month period ended September
30, 1995.

$750,000 discretionary line of credit for the Company's
short-term needs, at an interest rate equal to such bank's base
rate plus 1/2%.  All advances under this line of credit are
required to be secured by a lien on substantially all of the
Company's assets.  The Company has not drawn against this line
of credit.
