1. Basis of Presentation.
---------------------
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared,
without audit, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission
requirements for interim financial statements. Therefore, they do not
include all the disclosures that would be presented in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's January 31, 1997 financial statements and accompanying
notes thereto.
The information furnished reflects all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the interim period. The results of operations
for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year.
For accounting purposes, the Company changed to a 52/53 week convention
with the fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest the end of January.
However, for financial reporting purposes, each fiscal quarter or year is
presented as if it ended on the last day of such period. The third quarter
fiscal 1998 ended November 2, 1997.
2. Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
-----------

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of Operations
- -------------
This section of the report contains forward-looking statements regarding
the Company's expected growth and enhanced future performance. All forward-
looking statements are subject to risk and actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
many factors which are set forth below.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1998 ended November 2, 1997
increased by $1,320,000 or 29% to $5,892,000 from $4,572,000 in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 ended October 31, 1996. Net sales for the first nine
months of fiscal 1998 were $15,804,000 or 24% higher than net sales of
$12,758,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The increases were due to
continued strong demand for the company's RedLine data acquisition products and
turnkey services.
Third quarter cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 45%
in this year from 41% in the same period last year. Cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales also increased to 47% in the first nine months this year
compared to 42% in fiscal 1997's first nine months. As anticipated, the
increases in cost of sales were a result of product mix with lower-margin
service-related revenues becoming a bigger part of the Company's business.
Research and development ("R&D") expenses increased by $154,000 to $718,000
in the third quarter this year compared to $564,000 in the same period last
year. R&D expenses in the first nine months of this year increased slightly to
$1,826,000 from $1,633,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997. The
increases in expenses in both the third quarter and the first nine months were
primarily due to higher development costs associated with new RedLine products
scheduled for introduction in the Spring of 1998 and beyond.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of
fiscal 1998 decreased slightly to $1,719,000 from $1,737,000 in the same quarter
last year. For the first nine months of this year, marketing, general and
administrative expenses increased by $170,000 or 3% to $5,029,000 compared to
$4,859,000 last year. As a percentage of sales, however, expenses decreased to
29% from 38% in the third quarter and to 32% from 38% in the first nine months
of this year compared to the respective periods last year. The higher expenses
were principally due to additional sales and marketing staff, and higher
internal sales commissions due to higher sales bookings.
The effective tax rate computed were 40% for the third quarter and 40% for
the first nine months this year compared to 34% for the third quarter and 33%
for the first nine months last year. The tax rates computed depend primarily on
the profit contribution mix between the Company's U.S. operations and U.K.
subsidiary. The higher rates this year reflect higher domestic profit
contribution this year versus last year. Domestic tax rates tend to be higher
than the foreign subsidiary's tax rate. Other factors that may affect the tax
rates include R&D tax credits and software capitalization levels. The company
reviews the tax rate quarterly and could make minor adjustments to reflect
changing estimates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Cash increased by $256,000 during the nine month period ended November 2,
1997. Accounts receivable increased by $3,600,000 brought about by high
shipments in the last month of the period and the inclusion of approximately
$1,833,000 in customer advanced deposit commitments. The primary use of the
Company's cash in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 has been: the purchase of
capital equipment used to equip additional personnel and to upgrade our
information systems capabilities, and investment in software development.
Working capital at November 2, 1997 improved to $7,911,000 compared to
$5,726,000 at the beginning of the fiscal year, while the current ratio stood at
2.6 to 1.0 at November 2, 1997 and at 3.0 to 1.0 at January 31, 1997. At
November 2, 1997, the Company has a $1,000,000 secured bank line of credit. The
Company currently anticipates that internally generated funds and bank
borrowings will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated operating and capital
needs over the foreseeable future.
At November 2, 1997, the Company had no material outstanding commitments to
purchase capital equipment.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
- --------------------------------------
The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of
factors, including: timing of receipt of major system orders; timing of service
revenues; product mix; the Company's ability to timely introduce new products,
services and enhancements for its customers and achieve market acceptance as
demands for increasingly sophisticated measurement and control systems continue;
uncertainties relative to global economic conditions; ability to attract and
retain for qualified personnel in various technical positions; the Company's
ability to withstand competition particularly from several companies that are
much larger in size than the Company; international currency fluctuations;
natural disasters, particularly earthquakes which may strike the California area
where the Company's headquarters and manufacturing facility are located; and
availability and cost of components for its products.
Management expanded the services side of the Company's transportation
market business. These services include systems integration, project
management, commissioning and installation. These services are usually coupled
with the sale of our RedLine products and has allowed us to pursue further
growth in the transportation market by providing "one-stop" or turnkey shopping
to our customers. This services business raises several risk factors.
Specifically, the success depends on the time it takes for services personnel
and future staff to come up to speed on our products, customers and the services
they will provide; market acceptance of the services; the ability to manage
customer projects profitably; the ability to integrate our products with other
vendors' products; availability and quality of other vendors' products; and
other scheduling and delivery risks.
Because of the foregoing factors, as well as other factors affecting the
Company's operating results, past financial performance should not be considered
to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use
historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
