by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock
method. Options outstanding, which were not included in the determination of
diluted EPS for the three months and six months ended July 4, 2004 and June 29,

grant dates for the awards under these plans consistent with SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended, the Company's net loss

(6) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements" as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Under these guidelines, when the terms of sale
include customer acceptance provisions, and compliance with those provisions
cannot be demonstrated until customer use, revenues are recognized upon
acceptance. Furthermore, revenues for products that require installation for
which the installation is essential to functionality or is not deemed
inconsequential or perfunctory are recognized upon completion of installation.
Revenues for products sold where installation is not essential to functionality
and is deemed inconsequential or perfunctory are recognized upon shipment with
estimated installation and warranty costs accrued.

The Company also has certain revenue transactions for projects that are
not completed within the normal operating cycle of the business. These contracts
are accounted for on a percentage of completion basis. Under the percentage of
completion method, revenues are recognized based upon the ratio of costs
incurred to the total estimated costs. Revisions in costs and profit estimates
are reflected in the period in which the facts causing the revision become
known. Provisions for total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts, if any,
are made in the period in which such losses are determined.

For the six months ended July 4, 2004 there was $1,256,342 of revenue was
recognized using the percentage of completion method. For the six months ended
June 29, 2003, there was no revenue recognized using the percentage of
completion method.

The Company accounts for shipping and handling costs billed to customers
in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-10 "Accounting
for Shipping and Handling Fees and Cost". Amounts billed to customers for
shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenues with the associated costs
reported as cost of goods sold.

(7) Restructuring Charges

The Company recorded a $190,000 restructuring charge in the second quarter
of 2003. This charge was solely related to severance costs associated with the
reduction of 15 non-production employees.

(8) Product Warranty Costs

The Company provides standard warranty coverage for parts and labor for 12
months and special extended material only coverage on certain other products.
The Company sets aside a reserve, charged to cost of sales, based on anticipated
warranty claims at the time product revenue is recognized. The reserve for
warranty covers the estimated costs of material, labor and travel. Actual
warranty claims incurred are charged against the accrual. Factors that affect
the Company's product warranty liability include the number of installed units,
the anticipated cost of warranty repairs and historical and anticipated rates of
warranty claims.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales. Net sales increased 100.7% from $7.1 million in the second
quarter of 2003 to $14.3 million in the second quarter of 2004. For the first
six months net sales increased 83.3% from $14.0 million in 2003 to $25.6 million
in 2004. The increase in 2004 represents the continuing recovery in demand for
capital equipment for our Surface Mount Technology and Semi Packaging products.

When comparing the second quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2003,
the percentage of net sales attributable to our customers in the United States
decreased by 5.9%, net sales attributable to our customers in Europe increased
by 3.2%, net sales attributable to our Asia Pacific customers increased by 7.4%,
and net sales attributable to our customer in the Other Americas decreased by
4.7%. Comparing the first six months of 2004 to the first six months of 2003,
the percentage of net sales attributable to our customers in the United States
decreased by 14.9%, net sales attributable to our customers in Europe increased
by 1.6%, net sales attributable to our Asia Pacific customers increased by
14.5%, and net sales attributable to our customer in the Other Americas
decreased by 1.2%.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 111.4% from $1.5 million in the
second quarter of 2003 to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2004, and as a
percentage of net sales, increased from 21.7% to 22.8%. For the first six months
of 2004, gross profit increased 74.1% from $3.4 million in 2003 to $5.9 million
in 2004, and as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 24.3% to 23.1%. The
increase in gross profit is directly related to the increase in net sales. The
percentage of gross profit remains low in 2004 due to a shift in product mix and
the start up of the Company's manufacturing operations in China.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS (continued)

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
increased 21.3% from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2003 to $3.1 million
in the second quarter of 2004. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general,
and administrative decreased from 35.8% in second quarter 2003 to 21.7% in the
second quarter of 2004. For the first six months of 2004, selling, general and
administrative increased 8.2% from $5.3 million in 2003 to $5.7 million, and
decreased as a percentage of net sales from 38.0% in the first six months of
2003 to 22.4% for the same period in 2004. The increases in costs in 2004 were
primarily the result of higher commission expenditures to support the Company's
increased sales.

Research, Development and Engineering. Research, development and
engineering increased 18.8% from $826,000 in the second quarter of 2003 to
$981,000 in the second quarter of 2004 and as a percentage of net sales,
decreased from 11.6% to 6.9% for the same period. For the first six months of
2004, research, development and engineering increased 15.2% from $1.6 million in
2003 to $1.9 million in 2004, and as a percentage of net sales decreased from
11.8% in 2003 to 7.4% in 2004. The increased spending by the Company is in
support of product development on existing and future products.

Restructuring Charges. In the second quarter of 2003, the Company reduced
its overhead personnel to better align its spending with the current economic
market for its products. The $190,000 restructuring charge represents severance
costs for the laid off employees.

Operating Loss. Operating loss decreased 60.0% from $2.0 million in the
second quarter of 2003 to $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2004, and as a
percentage of net sales, decreased from 28.4% to 5.7%. For the first six months
of 2004, operating loss decreased 54.1% from $3.7 million in 2003 versus $1.7
million in 2004, and as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 26.8% to 6.7%.
The decrease in operating losses in 2004 was primarily the result of higher net
sales.

Income Taxes. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to
offset the deferred tax asset arising as a result of the Company's net operating
loss carryforward due to the uncertainty surrounding realization. Accordingly,
no income tax benefit is reflected in the statement of operations at July 4,
2004. Our statutory federal income tax rate is 34.0%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of July 4, 2004, we had $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents.

The Company has a secured revolving line of credit with a US bank that
allows for aggregate borrowings, including letters of credit, up to a maximum of
$14 million against a borrowing base of secured accounts receivable and
inventory. The Company may elect to borrow at interest rates pegged to either
the bank's base rate or the LIBOR rate in effect from time to time. This loan
agreement extends to May 31, 2007 and is subject to maintaining certain
financial covenants with which the Company is in compliance at July 4, 2004.
Borrowings outstanding under this agreement at July 4, 2004 were $2.4 million;
at which time the available funds on the borrowing base formula were $10.7
million.

We have a mortgage note that is secured by our real property in Billerica,
MA. The mortgage note had an outstanding balance at July 4, 2004 of
approximately $5.5 million. The mortgage requires monthly payments of $38,269,
which includes interest calculated at the rate of 5.42% per annum. A final
balloon payment of approximately $5.1 million is due on December 26, 2006 upon
maturity of the mortgage note.

10

During the six months ended July 4, 2004, the Company used cash resources
of $5.2 million. This use of cash was primarily the result of net losses of $1.9
million, an increase in accounts receivable of $5.8 million and an increase in
inventory of $3.8 million, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $3.4
million, borrowings against line of credit of $2.4 million and a decrease in
accrued expenses of $0.5 million.

We expect that our current cash position and ability to borrow necessary
funds will be sufficient to meet our corporate, operating and capital
requirements through 2004. Given the expected growth in the Company's markets,
we expect to continue to utilize our line of credit to fund the increases in
working capital needs throughout the year.

OTHER MATTERS

The impact of inflation and the effect of foreign exchange rate changes
during 2004 have had no material impact on our business and financial results.
