NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the periods indicated.
	On December 15, 2003, the Company elected to change its fiscal year to a fiscal year ending September 30. Previously, the Company's fiscal years were comprised of 52 weeks of seven days, each beginning on Monday and ending on Sunday, with the most recent fiscal year ending September 28, 2003, and its fiscal quarters were comprised of exactly 13 weeks. Therefore, the Company's fiscal years consisted of only 364 days. As a result of this change, the Company's fiscal years will be comprised of 365 days or, in leap years such as 2004, 366 days with each fiscal quarter ending at the end of a calendar quarter. The Company's current fiscal year will end September 30, 2004 rather than September 26, 2004. The additional four days have been included in the Company's first quarter for fiscal 2004, which ended December 31, 2003.
	The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the Company, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has filed audited financial statements that include all information and footnotes necessary for such a presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the fiscal years ended September 28, 2003 and September 29, 2002, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the aforementioned audited financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements contain all normal and recurring entries. The results of operations for the interim period ended December 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
2.	Inventories
	A summary of inventories follows:
			December 31, 2003	September 28, 2003

		Raw materials	$ 955,900	$ 919,600
		Work in process	4,757,900	4,521,200
		Finished goods	2,503,800	3,070,100

			$ 8,217,600	$ 8,510,900

	Based on forecasted fiscal year 2004 sales levels, the Company has on-hand inventories aggregating approximately 23 months of sales.
3.	Shareholders' Equity
	The Company issues common stock options to its employees, certain consultants, and certain of its board members. The Company accounts for these stock options under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123," the following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to stock-based compensation:
		Fiscal Quarter Ended:
		December 31, 2003	December 29, 2002

	Net loss, as reported	$ (514,800)	$ (725,500)
	SFAS No. 123 expense	16,400	16,400


	Pro forma net loss	$ (531,200)	$ (741,900)


	Basic and diluted net loss per share, as reported	$ (0.08)	$ (0.11)


	Pro forma basic and diluted net loss per share	$ (0.08)	$ (0.11)
	For purposes of pro forma disclosure, the estimated fair value of the options is expensed over the vesting period of the related options.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

While the Company had a net loss of $514,800 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, it used net cash of only $296,900 for operations during this period. The Company used $82,000 on prepaid expenses and an additional $67,400 to reduce accrued commissions and consulting expenses. At the same time, it generated only $293,300 by reducing inventories while its accounts payable increased $57,500. The Company used $48,900 on capital expenditures and other assets and received $24,500 from the exercise of common stock options.

While the Company had a net loss of $725,500 for the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, it produced $1,755,300 of net cash from operations during this period. This was mainly the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,999,600 resulting from collections of accounts receivable, a decrease in inventory of approximately $143,800, and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $166,300. At the same time, the Company did not use a large amount of cash to reduce liabilities, as it has carried less than $500,000 in liabilities since the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002. The Company used some of this cash from operations to purchase capital assets aggregating $100,700 and to fund the repurchase of $233,700 of its common stock on the open market.

Working Capital

The Company's accounts receivable often equals approximately one-half to two-thirds its quarterly revenues, as many of its customers tend to request shipment during the latter portion of the fiscal quarter. Therefore, a large portion of the Company's accounts receivable are typically not due at quarter-end, according to the Company's net 30 terms. While the Company continues to work closely with customers to attempt to spread their orders and shipments throughout the quarter, it was unsuccessful in doing so during the quarter ended December 31, 2003.

As a nature of its business, the Company's investment in inventories has been, and will continue to be, significant (at forecasted fiscal 2004 sales levels, on-hand inventories approximate 23 months of sales). The Company's products have long product life cycles. Although high levels of inventory impact liquidity, the Company believes these costs are a less costly alternative to owning a wafer fabrication facility.

During fiscal 2003, the Company reduced its inventory by 11%, or $1,080,200, and during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, the Company reduced its inventory by 3%, or $293,300. The Company expects to continue its efforts to reduce inventory during fiscal 2004 and in future periods. The Company provides reserves for product material that is over one-year old and has no backlog or sales activity, and for future obsolescence. The Company also takes physical inventory write-downs for obsolescence and slow-moving items. The Company establishes reserves through periodic reviews of inventory on-hand, including lower-of-cost-or-market and excess analyses. For example, if a product type has unit costs higher than the average selling price or has more on-hand than it has sold or expects to sell, the Company provides a reserve. The Company believes its current reserve provides a reasonable estimate of the recoverability of inventories.

Financing

The Company will continue to evaluate future debt and equity financing opportunities; however, it feels the cost reductions taken in the past few years have resulted in sufficient cash flow generated from operations to provide an adequate base of liquidity to fund future operating and capital needs. The Company's belief is based on the fact that, as of January 29, 2004, it holds approximately $1.4 million in cash reserves and although it used net cash of $296,900 in operations in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003, it anticipates breakeven or better cash flows from operations going forward. Therefore, it believes it can cover its cash operating expenses using future revenues, while saving current cash reserves for the stock repurchase plan and future capital expenditures, such as mask tooling for new products. At current resource levels, the Company does not anticipate being able to complete all product opportunities it has identified. However, as it considers product development critical to its future success, the Company anticipates its research and development expenditures will continue to be a significant portion of its operating expenses.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Net revenues decreased 17 percent, from $1,322,700 for the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, to $1,102,100 for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was the result of the Company's lack of new product introductions in the past. Most companies in the semiconductor industry typically experience a correlation between their success in introducing new products and increases in revenues. While the Company remains committed to product development, it has not made significant new product introductions over the past few years as a result of focusing on reducing costs and strengthening its cash flow and balance sheet. Disappointing execution by the engineering team and the need to downsize to cut costs have hampered the Company's ability to introduce new products.

Expenses

Cost of revenues decreased 34 percent, from $1,083,400 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, to $710,000 in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was the result of the decrease in the Company's sales and the adjustment of standard costs to reflect the cost-cutting efforts of the past few years. The Company's gross margin as a percentage of revenues doubled from 18 percent for the fiscal 2003 quarter to 36 percent for the fiscal 2004 quarter. This increase was the result of the adjustment of standard costs, and the Company's continued efforts to reduce manufacturing expenditures, including the elimination of some prior fixed costs. Additionally, the fiscal 2004 gross margin as a percentage of revenues is comparable to the three immediately preceding quarters.

Research and development expense increased two percent, from $391,200 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, to $399,000 in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. The Company believes research and development is vital for growing future revenues. With the benefit of ongoing customer input, the Company currently has new products it hopes to introduce later in fiscal 2004. To address the lack of new product introductions over the past few years, the Company maintained high levels of research and development expenditures, even though its net revenues decreased.

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased ten percent, from $573,500 in the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2002, to $514,300 in the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003. This decrease was the result of reduced rent and lower operating expenses and the reduction of administrative staff.

Although the Company's net revenues decreased $220,600 from the fiscal 2003 quarter to the fiscal 2004 quarter, its loss from operations actually decreased, from $725,400 for the fiscal 2003 quarter to $521,200 in the fiscal 2004 quarter, due to the higher gross margins of products sold and decreases in selling, general and administrative expense as noted above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company conducts all of its transactions, including those with foreign suppliers and customers, in U.S. dollars. It is therefore not directly subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations and does not hedge or otherwise deal in currency instruments in an attempt to minimize such risks. Of course, demand from foreign customers and the ability or willingness of foreign suppliers to perform their obligations to the Company may be affected by the relative change in value of such customer or supplier's domestic currency to the value of the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar may change the price of the Company's prices relative to the prices of its foreign competitors. The Company also does not hold any market risk sensitive instruments that are not considered cash under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based upon an evaluation as of December 31, 2003, the Company's President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2003 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company receives demands from various parties asserting patent claims. These demands are often not based on any specific knowledge of the Company's products or operations. Because of the uncertainties inherent in litigation, the outcome of any such claim, including simply the cost of a successful defense against such a claim, could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

In January 1998, the Company was contacted by the attorneys representing the estate of Mr. Jerome Lemelson, charging that the Company infringed on certain patents registered by Mr. Lemelson. The attorneys for the estate have not filed suit, but have urged the Company to enter into a licensing agreement with the estate in order to avoid litigation. The Company understands a similar demand has been made upon other manufacturers of integrated circuits, and that some have successfully defeated the claims. Should the estate file suit, the Company would vigorously defend itself in this matter. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of this action could be unfavorable, in which event the Company might be required to pay damages and other expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. In addition, the Company could be required to alter certain of its production processes or products as a result of this matter.

In September 2002, the Company was contacted by Syndia Corporation, the owner of certain patents of which Mr. Jerome Lemelson is a named inventor (Syndia patents). The Syndia claim is based upon processes potentially used by the Company's assembly subcontractors and wafer suppliers. Syndia has not filed suit, but has urged the Company to enter into a licensing agreement with Syndia in order to avoid litigation. The Company understands a similar demand has been made upon other manufacturers of integrated circuits. On June 20, 2003, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC), the Company's primary wafer supplier, filed a claim against Syndia for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, invalidity, and unenforceability of the Syndia patents. Further, TSMC claimed intentional interference with contractual relations, unfair business practices, and unfair competition arising from Syndia's bad-faith allegations that TSMC and TSMC's customers infringe the Syndia patents. On November 10, 2003, TSMC and Syndia jointly announced they had reached a settlement that resolved all outstanding legal claims raised by both parties, with no admission of liability by either party. TSMC also stated in the announcement that it settled this dispute for business reasons and to protect its customers from potential claims relating to products manufactured for them by TSMC.

Should Syndia file suit, the Company would vigorously defend itself in this matter. However, because of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of this action could be unfavorable, in which event the Company might be required to pay damages and other expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. In addition, the Company could be required to alter certain of its production processes or products as a result of this matter.
