NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share amounts)

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in such financial statements has been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the statements include all adjustments necessary (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in connection with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2005. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Note 2 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 (revised 2004), “Share Based Payment,” (“FAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on estimated fair values. FAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to FAS 123(R). The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of FAS 123(R).

The Company adopted FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of October 1, 2005, the first day of the Company’s fiscal year 2006. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 reflect the impact of FAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective transition method, the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FAS 123(R). Share based compensation expense recognized under FAS 123(R) for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2006 was $1,379 and $2,130, respectively, which consisted of share based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock and the employee stock purchase plan. See Note 7 for additional information.

There was no share based compensation expense related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases recognized during the three months and six months ended April 1, 2005, however pro forma stock option expense for the three months and six months ended April 1, 2005 was $3,173 and $4,598, respectively. Expense of $68 and $117 was recognized related to restricted stock during the three months and six months ended April 1, 2005. On April 1, 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of all stock options granted on or before September 24, 2004, issued at an exercise price equal to or greater than $13.00, which were awarded to employees and officers under the Company’s various stock option plans. The acceleration of the vesting of these options did not result in a charge based on generally accepted accounting principles under APB 25. For pro forma disclosure requirements under FAS 123, the Company recognized $2,800 of share based compensation for all options for which vesting was accelerated, during the year ended September 30, 2005. The Company took this action to reduce future costs under FAS 123(R). In addition, because these options had exercise prices substantially in excess of current market values at the time of acceleration, the accelerated vesting did not provide material value to the optionees.

FAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company accounted for share based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no share based compensation expense related to employee stock options had been recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations, because the exercise price of the Company’s stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.

Share based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. Share based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2006 included compensation expense for share based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of September 30, 2005 based on the grant date

6

fair value estimated in accordance with the pro forma provisions of FAS 123 and compensation expense for the share based payment awards granted subsequent to September 30, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123(R) and SAB107. Compensation expense for all share based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method. As share based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. In the Company’s pro forma information required under FAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

Upon adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company maintained its method of valuation of employee stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) which was previously used for the Company’s pro forma information required under FAS 123. For additional information, see Note 7. The Company’s determination of fair value of share based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the expected option life, and expected volatility over the term of the awards.

On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3 “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share Based Payment Awards.” The Company has elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided in the FASB Staff Position for calculating the tax effects of share based compensation pursuant to FAS 123(R). The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee share based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee share based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of FAS 123(R).

Note 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company periodically enters into research and development contracts with certain private-sector companies. These contracts generally provide for reimbursement of costs. Funding from research and development contracts is recognized as a reduction in operating expenses during the period in which the services are performed and related direct expenses are incurred, as follows:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	March 31, 2006		April 1, 2005			March 31, 2006			April 1, 2005
Research and development expense		2,502		2,852			5,044			5,746
Contract funding		—		(188	)		(9	)		(348	)
Research and development, net	$	2,502	$	2,664		$	5,035		$	5,398

Note 5 – IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company terminated the employment of certain employees who performed primarily manufacturing functions. Restructuring charges of $156, primarily related to severance benefits, were recorded pursuant to this plan.

Restructuring charges in the three month period ended December 30, 2005 are the result of the termination of the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer. These charges of $347 relate primarily to severance benefits, and include $51 for the acceleration of stock awards.

7

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company determined that goodwill associated with the Medical segment and the value of certain long-lived assets was impaired, and therefore recorded a $33.9 million charge to reduce these assets to fair value. This impairment charge includes $33.3 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of DOME Imaging Systems, and $554 of intangible assets related to developed analog technology, for which the underlying undiscounted cash flows did not support the carrying value of the assets. The goodwill impairment charge was triggered by Medical segment operating results trending differently than originally forecasted during the Company’s annual impairment test conducted during the second quarter of 2005, and a decline in overall market capitalization. The developed technology write-down was triggered by an end-of-life decision made in the fourth quarter of 2005 for all Medical segment analog products.

The goodwill impairment was calculated as the difference between the implied fair value of goodwill and the carrying value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill was calculated as the difference between the fair value of the Medical segment on the date of valuation in the fourth quarter of 2005, as determined by a third-party valuation service, which used assumptions provided by management, and the fair value of the net assets of the Medical segment, excluding goodwill.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the employment of certain employees who performed primarily sales and administrative functions, including the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, was terminated. Restructuring charges of $1.3 million, primarily related to severance benefits, have been recorded pursuant to this plan, which include $56 of charges related to the acceleration of stock options.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets were impaired, and therefore recorded a $3.4 million charge to reduce these assets to fair value. This determination was based on a review of operational results for certain product lines and shifts in strategic direction for certain company activities. This impairment charge included $1.7 million for identifiable intangible assets related to developed technology, for which the underlying undiscounted cash flows did not support the carrying value of the assets, $656 of capitalized costs associated with a discontinued information technology systems development effort, and $1.1 million of tooling for products that were abandoned, discontinued or for which the undiscounted cash flows did not support the asset’s carrying value. Fair value was determined based on a cash flow analysis for each asset that was determined to be impaired.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company adopted a cost reduction plan, including the termination of employment of certain employees who performed primarily sales, marketing and administrative functions. Restructuring charges of $1.8 million, primarily related to severance benefits, were recorded pursuant to this plan. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company determined that $404 of the $1.8 million restructuring charges was not required. The original estimates changed due to employment severance costs being less than originally anticipated as employees filled vacant positions within the company.

The restructuring charges previously incurred affected the Company’s financial position as follows:

	Accrued Compensation
Balance as of September 30, 2005	$	1,265
Additional charges		452
Cash paid out		(932	)
Balance as of March 31, 2006	$	785

Note 6 – INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes has been recorded based upon the current estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate. This rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the provision for state income taxes and the effects of the Company’s foreign tax rates.

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was enacted. The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The deduction is subject to a number of limitations and, as of today, management is not yet in a position to decide on whether, and to what extent, if any, foreign earnings that have not yet been remitted to the U.S might be repatriated. Based upon the limited analysis performed to date, management has not determined the potential effect of this provision. The Company may elect this one-time deduction during its fiscal year ending September 29, 2006.

Note 7 – EMPLOYEE STOCK BENEFIT PLANS

Stock options

In fiscal 1994, the Company adopted the 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of options to buy shares of Common Stock. During fiscal 1997, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan with the same provisions and guidelines as the aforementioned 1993 plan. During fiscal 1999, the Company adopted the 1999 Non Qualified Stock Option Plan with the same provisions and guidelines as the aforementioned 1993 plan. These options are intended to either qualify as “incentive stock options” under the Internal Revenue Code or “non-qualified stock options” not intended to qualify. Under the plans, options issued prior to fiscal 2000 generally become exercisable 25% one year after grant and 6.25% per quarter thereafter, and expire ten years after grant. Options issued after the beginning of fiscal 2000 through the end of fiscal 2003 generally become exercisable 25% each six months after grant, and expire 4 years after grant. Options issued during fiscal 2004, and certain options issued during fiscal 2005, generally become exercisable 25% at each of the 30, 36, 42 and 48 months after grant and expire ten years after grant. Certain options issued during fiscal 2005, and most options issued during fiscal 2006, become exercisable 25% one year after grant and 6.25% per quarter thereafter, and expire ten years after grant. Certain options also have acceleration provisions based upon meeting objective market conditions determined at the date of grant of the option which could accelerate the option to be exercisable two years after grant.

The option price under all plans is the fair market value as of the date of the grant. Total shares reserved under these plans are 4,465,000 shares.

The Company also adopted a 1993 stock option plan for Non-employee Directors that provides an annual grant to each outside director of the Company.

Information regarding these option plans is as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Option Prices
Options outstanding at September 24, 2004	2,822,451		$	17.52
Granted	892,750			9.30
Exercised	(63	)		7.88
Canceled	(765,928	)		17.22
Options outstanding at September 30, 2005	2,949,210			15.17
Granted	603,338			9.43
Exercised	(335,086	)		7.93
Canceled	(641,218	)		17.83
Options outstanding at March 31, 2006	2,576,244		$	14.12

The total pretax intrinsic value of options exercised during the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 was $1,725 and $1,852, respectively. The total fair value of options vested during the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 was $60 and $92, respectively.

In the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, the amount of cash received for the exercise of options was $2,375 and $2,399, respectively, and the corresponding tax benefit for the same time periods was $671. There were no option exercises in the three and six months ended April 1, 2005.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at March 31, 2006:

	Options Outstanding						Options Exercisable
Range of Exercise Prices	Number Outstanding at 03/31/06	Average of Remaining Contractual Life	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value		Number of Shares Exercisable at 03/31/06	Average of Remaining Contractual Life	Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
$6.38 - $31.50	2,576,244	5.9	$	14.12	$	12,199	1,400,202	3.6	$	17.65	$	2,825

The aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $16.92 as March 31, 2006, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date. As of September 30, 2005, 2,277,327 outstanding options were exercisable, and the weighted average exercise price was $16.92.

Restricted stock

The Company’s plans provide for the issuance of restricted stock to employees, (“Nonvested shares” per FAS 123R). With the exception of certain grants made to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the shares issued generally vest over a two- to four-year period, upon meeting objective market conditions or the passage of time, or both. In the event the market conditions are not met, shares generally would vest at the end of four years.

In addition to the aforementioned grants of restricted stock to employees in fiscal 2004 and 2005, 160,000 shares of restricted stock were issued to the Chief Executive Officer in fiscal 2005, including 10,000 shares that vested immediately upon issuance, 75,000 shares that vested upon the attainment of an average daily stock price of $10 for a period of 40 trading days (the $10 tranche), and 75,000 shares that vested upon the attainment of an average daily stock price of $12 for a period of 40 trading days (the $12 tranche). In the first quarter of fiscal 2006, 55,000 shares of restricted stock were also issued to the Chief Financial Officer, including 5,000 shares that vested immediately, 25,000 shares that will vest over a four year period, 12,500 shares that vested upon the attainment of an average daily stock price of $11 for a period of 30 trading days (the $11 tranche), and 12,500 shares that vested upon the attainment of an average daily stock price of $13 for a period of 30 trading days (the $13 tranche). The 75,000 shares that composed the $10 tranche vested on February 1, 2006. The 75,000 shares that composed the $12 tranche vested on February 23, 2006. The 12,500 shares that composed the $11 tranche vested on February 8, 2006. The 12,500 shares that composed the $13 tranche vested on February 22, 2006. The value of these 175,000 shares, and the related requisite service period, was determined by use of a Monte Carlo simulation model, and was being recognized as expense over the requisite service period, pursuant to FAS 123(R); however, all remaining unamortized expense was accelerated into the second quarter of 2006 upon vesting. The total value of these 175,000 shares was $1,090, and the average derived service period, estimated at the time of issue, was 1.2 years. The value of the immediately vested shares was recognized as expense upon issuance. The value of the time vested shares is being recognized as expense over the vesting period. Monte Carlo simulation modeling is a method for valuing contingent claims on stock with characteristics that depend on the trailing stock price path, such as those restricted shares issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Monte Carlo modeling uses computer generated pseudorandom numbers to build sample stock price paths, for each of which a payoff is calculated, and all of which are discounted back to the grant date using a risk-neutral rate. After generating many such paths and payoffs, the value of the restricted stock is set to equal the average of the payoffs. Monte Carlo modeling also derives the probability of vesting and the length of the vesting period.

Information regarding these restricted stock grants is as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Restricted stock outstanding at September 30, 2005	237,324		$	7.88
Granted	184,500			9.00
Vested	(188,600	)		6.48
Canceled	(7,500	)		9.85
Restricted stock outstanding at March 31, 2006	225,724		$	9.80

During fiscal 2005, the Company issued 249,525 shares of restricted stock to employees.

In the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, the tax benefit related to restricted stock was $382 and $554, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In fiscal 2005, the Company adopted the 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which replaced the 1994 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The 2004 Employee Stock Purchase Plan provides that eligible employees may contribute, through payroll deductions, up to 10% of their earnings toward the purchase of the Company’s Common Stock at 85 percent of the fair market value at specific dates. At March 31, 2006, 274,212 shares remain available for purchase through the plan and there were 371 employees eligible to participate in the plan, of which 108 or 29% were participants. Employees purchased 125,065 shares, at an average price of $8.04 per share during fiscal 2005. In the second quarter of 2006, employees purchased 43,264 shares at an average price of $6.91 per share. The fair value of the purchase rights is estimated on the first day of the offering period using the Black-Scholes model. The use of the Black-Scholes model, and related assumptions integrated into the model, are discussed in a subsequent paragraph.

Valuation and Expense Information under FAS 123(R)

On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted FAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share based payment awards made to the Company’s employees and directors including

10

employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, based on estimated fair values. The following table summarizes share based compensation expense related to share based payment awards, and employee stock purchases under FAS 123(R) for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, which was allocated as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2006		Six Months Ended March 31, 2006
Cost of sales	$	55	$	96
Research and development		30		61
Sales and marketing		162		277
General and administrative		1,132		1,645
Restructuring		—		51
Share based compensation expense included in operating expenses		1,324		2,034
Share based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, and employee stock purchases		1,379		2,130
Tax benefit		469		745
Share based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, and employee stock purchases, net of tax	$	910	$	1,385

Share based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended April 1, 2005 was $68 and $117, respectively, which related to restricted stock.

The table below reflects net income and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 compared with the pro forma information for the three and six months ended April 1, 2005 as follows:

	Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
	March 31, 2006		April 1, 2005			March 31, 2006		April 1, 2005
Net income (loss) — as reported for the prior period (1)		NA	$	(4,170	)		NA	$	(4,142	)
Share based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, and employee stock purchases for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, and related to employee stock options and employee stock purchases for the three and six months ended April 1, 2005	$	1,379		3,173		$	2,130		4,598
Tax benefit		469		1,079			745		1,563
Share based compensation expense related to employee stock options, restricted stock, and employee stock purchases for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, and related to employee stock options for the three and six months ended April 1, 2005, net of tax (2)		910		2,094			1,385		3,035
Net income (loss), including the effect of share based compensation expense (3)	$	2,000	$	(6,264	)	$	3,459	$	(7,177	)
Diluted net income (loss) per share — as reported for the prior period (1)		NA	$	(0.28	)		NA	$	(0.28	)
Diluted net income (loss) per share, including the effect of share based compensation expense (3)	$	0.13	$	(0.43	)	$	0.23	$	(0.49	)

(1) Net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share prior to fiscal 2006 did not include share based compensation expense for employee stock options and employee stock purchases under FAS 123 because the Company did not adopt the recognition provisions of FAS 123.

(2) Share based compensation expense prior to fiscal 2006 represents pro forma information based on FAS 123.

(3) Net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share prior to fiscal 2006 represents pro forma information based on FAS 123.

11

As of March 31, 2006, total future compensation expense related to nonvested stock options and restricted stock is expected to be $4,443 and $1,637, respectively. This expense is anticipated to be recognized through the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

Upon adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company continued its methodology of calculating the value of employee stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model which it also used for the purpose of the pro forma financial information in accordance with FAS 123.

The use of a Black-Scholes model requires the use of estimates of employee exercise behavior data and other assumptions including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected dividends. The weighted-average estimated value of employee stock options granted during the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 was $7.43 per share and $4.84 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions:

	Three and Six Months Ended March 31, 2006
Expected volatility	59.2	%
Risk-free interest rate	4.0	%
Expected dividends	0.0	%
Expected lives (in years)	4.3

The Company estimates volatility based on its historical stock price volatility for a period consistent with the expected life of its options. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based on historical experience.

As share based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical and anticipated future experience. In the Company’s pro forma information required under FAS 123 for the periods prior to fiscal 2006, the Company accounted for forfeitures as they occurred.

Dilutive Effect of Employee Stock Benefit Plans

Basic shares outstanding for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 were 15,147,000 shares and 14,964,000 shares, respectively. Diluted shares outstanding for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 were 15,469,000 shares and 15,156,000 shares, respectively. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” requires that employee equity share options, nonvested shares and similar equity instruments granted by the Company are treated as potential common shares in computing diluted earnings per share. Diluted shares outstanding include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options which is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount that the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits or deficiencies that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible are assumed to be used to repurchase shares. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, the dilutive effect of in-the-money employee stock options was approximately 322,000 and 192,000 shares, respectively, based on the Company’s average share price for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 of $14.04 and $11.51, respectively.

Note 8 – COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income (loss) was $2,181 and ($5,025) for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005, respectively. Comprehensive income (loss) for the six month periods ended March 31, 2006 and April 1, 2005 was $3,365 and ($2,713), respectively.

Note 9 – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company is organized based upon the markets for the products and services that it offers. Under this organizational structure, the Company operates in three main segments: Medical, Industrial and Commercial. The Medical and Industrial segments derive revenue primarily through the development and marketing of digital imaging displays, electroluminescent displays, liquid crystal displays, color active matrix liquid crystal displays and software. The Commercial segment derives revenue primarily through the marketing of color active matrix liquid crystal displays that are sold through distributors to end users.

NOTE – 11 LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company entered into a $50 million credit agreement in December 2003, which replaced the Company’s prior credit agreement. The Company had no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005. The agreement expires December 1, 2008 and the borrowings are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The interest rates can fluctuate quarterly based upon the actual funded debt–to-EBITDA ratio and the LIBOR rate. The agreement includes the following financial covenants: a fixed charge ratio, minimum EBITDA, minimum net worth and a funded-debt-to-EBITDA ratio. According to the credit agreement, expenses which did not or will not require a cash settlement, including impairment charges and costs associated with exit or disposal activities and share based compensation, are added back to net income in the calculation of EBITDA. On December 21, 2004, the credit agreement was amended to provide for increases in the commitment fee payable under the credit agreement if minimum EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters prior to the date of determination falls below $20 million. Effective September 30, 2005, the credit agreement was amended to reduce the minimum EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters prior to the date of determination from $12.5 million to $9.0 million, and to alter the available borrowing level based upon the Company’s EBITDA. The Company may borrow up to $20 million if EBITDA is less than $15 million, the Company may borrow up to $35 million if EBITDA is between $15 million and $20

13

million, and the Company may borrow up to $50 million if EBITDA is $20 million or above. The Company was not in violation of any of these covenants as of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005.

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

The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report and with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Report contain statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company’s business, management’s beliefs and assumptions. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, such as those risk factors described below under “Outlook: Issues and Uncertainties”. The forward-looking statements contained in this Report speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, it should not be concluded that the Company will make additional updates with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, inventories, warranty obligations, intangible asset valuation, share based compensation expense and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies and the related judgments and estimates affect the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition. The Company’s policy is to recognize revenue for product sales when evidence of an arrangement exists, sales price is determinable or fixed, title transfers and risk of loss has passed to the customer, which is generally upon shipment of our products to our customers. The Company defers and recognizes service revenue over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Some distributor agreements allow for potential return of products and provide price protection under certain conditions within limited time periods. Such return rights are generally limited to short-term stock rotation. The Company estimates sales returns and price adjustments based on historical experience and other qualitative factors, and records the amounts as a reduction in revenue at the later of the time of shipment or when the pricing decision is made. Each period, price protection is estimated based upon pricing decisions made and information received from distributors as to the amount of inventory they are holding. The Company’s policies comply with the guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 104, Revenue Recognition, issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Judgments are required in evaluating the credit worthiness of our customers. Credit is not extended to customers and revenue is not recognized until the Company has determined that the collection risk is minimal.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Credit limits are established through a process of reviewing the financial history and stability of each customer. Where appropriate, the Company obtains credit rating reports and financial statements of the customer when determining or modifying their credit limits. The Company regularly evaluates the collectibility of its trade receivable balances based on a combination of factors. When a customer’s account balance becomes past due, the Company initiates dialogue with the customer to determine the cause. If it is determined that the customer will be unable to meet its financial obligation to the Company, such as in the case of bankruptcy, deterioration in the customer’s operating results or

14

financial position or other material events impacting their business, the Company records a specific allowance to reduce the related receivable to the amount the Company expects to recover.

The Company also records an allowance for all customers based on certain other factors including the length of time the receivables are past due, the amount outstanding, and historical collection experience with customers. The Company believes its reported allowances are adequate. However, if the financial condition of those customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, the Company may need to record additional allowances which would result in additional general and administrative expenses being recorded for the period in which such determination was made.

Inventory. The Company is exposed to a number of economic and industry factors that could result in portions of its inventory becoming either obsolete or in excess of anticipated usage, or subject to lower of cost or market issues. These factors include, but are not limited to, technological and regulatory changes in the Company’s markets, the Company’s ability to meet changing customer requirements, competitive pressures in products and prices, new product introductions, quality issues with key suppliers, product phase-outs and the availability of key components from the Company’s suppliers. The Company’s policy is to reduce the value of inventory when conditions exist that suggest that its inventory may be in excess of anticipated demand or is obsolete based upon its assumptions about future demand for its products and market conditions. The Company regularly evaluates its ability to realize the value of its inventory based on a combination of factors including the following: historical usage rates, forecasted sales or usage, product end-of-life dates, estimated current and future market values and new product introductions. Purchasing practices and alternative usage avenues are explored within these processes to mitigate inventory exposure. When recorded, the Company’s adjustments are intended to reduce the carrying value of its inventory to its net realizable value. If actual demand for the Company’s products deteriorates or market conditions become less favorable than those that the Company projects, additional inventory adjustments may be required.

Product Warranties. The Company’s products are sold with warranty provisions that require it to remedy deficiencies in quality or performance over a specified period of time, generally between 12 and 36 months, at no cost to the Company’s customers. The Company’s policy is to establish warranty reserves at levels that represent its estimate of the costs that will be incurred to fulfill those warranty requirements at the time that revenue is recognized. The Company believes that its recorded liabilities are adequate to cover its future cost of materials, labor and overhead for the servicing of its products. If product failure rates, or material or service delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, its warranty liability would need to be revised accordingly.

Intangible assets. The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” on accounting for business combinations and goodwill as of the beginning of fiscal year 2002. Accordingly, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill from acquisitions, but continues to amortize other acquisition-related intangibles and costs.

As required by these rules, the Company performs an impairment review of goodwill annually or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist. This annual impairment review was completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006, and no impairment was indicated. The impairment review is based on a discounted cash flow approach that uses estimates of future market share and revenues and costs for the relevant segments as well as appropriate discount rates. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. However, if the Company fails to deliver new products for these groups, if the products fail to gain expected market acceptance, or if market conditions in the related businesses become unfavorable, revenue and cost forecasts may not be achieved and the Company may incur charges for impairment of goodwill.

For identifiable intangible assets, the Company amortizes the cost over the estimated useful life and assesses any impairment by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows from the associated asset in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. If the estimated cash flow related to these assets decreases in the future or the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the Company may incur charges for impairment of these assets, as it did in the second and fourth quarters of 2005. The revised value is based on the new estimated undiscounted cash flow associated with the asset. Impairment could result if the associated products do not sell as expected.

Share based Compensation Expense. On October 1, 2005, the Company adopted FAS 123(R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share based payment awards made to our employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock and employee stock purchases related to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, based on estimated fair values. Upon adoption of FAS 123(R), the Company maintained its method of valuation of share based awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which has historically been used for the purpose of the pro forma financial information in accordance with FAS 123. The determination of fair value of share based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, the expected dividend yield, the expected option life, and expected volatility over the

15

term of the awards. The Company estimates volatility based on its historical stock price volatility for a period consistent with the expected life of its options. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the Company’s employee stock options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based on historical experience. As share based compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2006 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures were estimated based on historical and anticipated future experience. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of FAS 123(R) in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under FAS 123(R) may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.

Income Taxes. The Company records a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company assesses the need for a valuation allowance based upon its estimate of future taxable income covering a relatively short time horizon given the volatility in the markets the Company serves and its historic operating results. Tax planning strategies to use the Company’s recorded deferred tax assets are also considered. If the Company is able to realize the deferred tax assets in an amount in excess of its reported net amounts, an adjustment to decrease the valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets would increase earnings in the period such a determination was made. Similarly, if the Company should determine that its net deferred tax assets may not be realized to the extent reported, an adjustment to increase the valuation allowance associated with the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such a determination was made.

Overview

Sales were $52.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to sales of $61.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. Net income per diluted share was $0.13 in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to a net loss per share of $0.28 in the second quarter of 2005. Net income was $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to net loss of $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2005. Net income in the second quarter of 2006 was positively impacted by an improved gross margin percentage of 28.3%, as compared to a gross margin percentage of 21.7% in the second quarter of 2005, due to stronger product margins in each of the company’s business segments, and a better mix of higher margin industrial product sales relative to commercial products. In the second quarter of 2006, net income was also positively impacted by reduced operating expenses due to cost reduction actions implemented in the prior year and greater interest income resulting from increased cash balances and interest rates in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005. Amortization of intangible assets also decreased in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005 due to a reduction in the carrying value of certain intangible assets which were determined to have been impaired in the second and fourth quarters of 2005, adding to the increase in net income in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to 2005. Net income in the second quarter of 2006 was negatively impacted by charges for share based compensation and performance compensation, while share based compensation charges existed only minimally in the second quarter of 2005. The second quarter of 2005 includes $5.2 million of impairment and restructuring charges, while the second quarter of 2006 includes $0.2 million of restructuring charges, and the second quarter of 2005 includes a $0.7 million charge related to a reduction in the carrying value of an investment in a publicly traded Taiwanese company, Topvision Technology, while such a charge did not exist in the second quarter of 2006, both of which caused an increase in net income in the second quarter of 2006 relative to 2005.

In the Industrial segment, sales increased by $0.3 million to $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of increased international sales in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005. Operating income in the Industrial segment increased $1.2 million to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2005 due primarily to improved gross margins in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005, as a result of improved product mix and reductions in the manufacturing cost structure. In addition, the segment benefited in 2006 from operating cost reduction actions implemented in 2005, partially offset by increases in performance compensation costs and share based compensation costs in 2006.

In the Medical segment, sales decreased by $2.3 million to $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $19.3 million in the second quarter of 2005, primarily as a result of reduced sales of non-Digital Imaging medical products. Operating income in the Medical segment increased to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2005, due primarily to reduced operating expenses in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005, as the segment benefited in 2006 from cost reduction actions implemented in 2005, partially offset by increases in performance compensation costs and share based compensation costs in 2006.

In the Commercial segment, sales decreased by $6.2 million to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2005 as a result of a decline in average selling prices and volumes of products sold by the Commercial segment in 2006 as compared to 2005. Operating loss in the second quarter of 2006 improved to $1.0 million from $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2005, as a result of improved gross margins and reduced operating expenses in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005, as the segment benefited in 2006 from cost reduction actions implemented in 2005, partially offset by increases in performance compensation costs and share based compensation costs in 2006.

Sales

The Company’s sales of $52.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 decreased $8.2 million or 13.4% as compared to $61.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. The decrease in sales was due primarily to decreased sales in the Commercial and Medical segments, offset by slightly higher sales in the Industrial segment. Industrial segment sales increased $0.3 million or 2.1% with sales of $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to sales of $15.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. Industrial sales volumes benefited during the quarter from increased sales of the Company’s Electroluminescent (EL) products as compared to the second quarter of 2005, offset by decreased sales of the Company’s Active Matrix LCD (AMLCD) products as compared to the second quarter of 2005. Sales in the Medical segment decreased $2.3 million or 12.0% to $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $19.3 million in the same period of 2005. The decrease in Medical segment sales was due to decreased sales of the Company’s non-Digital Imaging medical products as compared to the second quarter of 2005, while sales of Digital Imaging (DI) products remained consistent in the second

17

quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005. Sales in the Commercial segment decreased $6.2 million or 23.6% to $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $26.4 million in the same period of 2005. The decrease in Commercial segment sales was due to lower average selling prices and volumes of the Commercial segment products in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005. Average selling prices of Commercial segment products decreased approximately 12% and volumes decreased approximately 14% in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second quarter of 2005.

The Company’s sales of $110.0 million in the first six months of 2006 decreased $14.2 million or 11.4% compared to $124.2 million in the same period of 2005. The decrease in sales was primarily due to decreased sales in all segments as compared to the same period in the prior year. Medical segment sales decreased $4.9 million or 12.3% to $35.0 million in the first six months of 2006 from $39.9 million in the same period of 2005. Medical sales decreased due to lower sales of non-Digital Imaging medical products and DI products in the first six months of 2006 as compared to the same period of 2005, due primarily to certain last-time purchases made in the first six months of 2005, which did not recur in 2006, and a one-time promotion of DI products which occurred in the first quarter of 2005 but did not recur in 2006. Sales of non-Digital Imaging products decreased 17.5% in the first six months of 2006 as compared to 2005. Industrial segment sales decreased $0.3 million or 0.9% to $29.4 million in the first six months of 2006 from $29.7 million in the same period of 2005. Industrial segment sales benefited during the six month period from increased sales of EL products and atomic layer deposition machines and services, but were offset by decreased sales of AMLCD products. Commercial segment sales decreased $9.0 million or 16.5% to $45.6 million in the first six months of 2006 from $54.6 million in the same period of 2005. Sales in the commercial segment were negatively impacted by lower average selling prices and volumes, primarily due to an oversupply of these products in the marketplace. An oversupply of products has existed throughout the industry primarily due to newly constructed component manufacturing operations, which have saturated the market with components, thereby driving down the costs of the components and allowing the Company and its competitors to build products for lower costs. When these products have entered the market, the saturation has exerted downward pressure on prices of the Company’s and its competitor’s products, as customers expect lower prices due to lower components costs.

International sales increased $1.2 million or 10.9% to $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $11.2 million recorded in the same quarter of the prior year. International sales for the first six months of 2006 increased $3.5 million or 16.2% to $25.5 million from $21.9 million in the same period of 2005. The increase in international sales in both the three and six month periods was due to increased sales of DI products, products based on EL technology and non-Digital Imaging medical products. As a percentage of total sales, international sales increased to 23.6% in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to 18.4% in the second quarter of 2005. In the first six months of 2006, international sales increased to 23.2%, as compared to 17.7% in the first six months of 2005. Since the commercial business does not actively market or sell its products outside of North America, international sales represent predominantly the Medical and Industrial segments, and therefore the overall decrease in sales in the Commercial segment in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, was the primary cause of the increase in percentage of international sales in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Gross Profit

The Company’s gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 28.3% in the second quarter of 2006 from 21.7% in the second quarter of 2005. For the first six months of 2006, the Company’s gross margin was 26.6% compared to 21.7% in the first six months of 2005 The gross margin increases were primarily due to stronger product margins in each of the company’s business segments, and a better mix of higher margin industrial product sales relative to commercial products.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses decreased $0.2 million or 6.1% to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $2.7 million in the same quarter in the prior year. For the first six months of 2006, research and development expense decreased $0.4 million or 6.7% to $5.0 million from $5.4 million. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses increased to 4.7% in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to 4.4% in the same quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses increased to 4.6% for the first six months of 2006 as compared to 4.3% in the same period of the prior year. Although research and development expenses decreased in both the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005, overall sales have also decreased in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005, thereby causing an increase in the percentage of research and development expense as a percentage of total sales in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The Company benefited in 2006 from cost reduction actions implemented in the second quarter of 2005, partially offset by increases in performance compensation costs in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods in 2005. Research and development

18

spending primarily supports the Medical and Industrial segments and will tend to follow the business level of those segments while the Commercial segment incurs essentially no research and development spending.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.0 million or 16.4% to $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $5.8 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Sales and marketing expenses decreased $1.3 million or 11.1% to $10.0 million in the first six months of 2006 as compared to $11.3 million in the same period of the prior year. These decreases were due primarily to reduced spending in all segments, compared to the same periods in the prior year, as the Company benefited in 2006 from cost reduction actions implemented in the second quarter of 2005, partially offset by increases in performance compensation costs in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods in 2005. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses decreased to 9.1% in the second quarter of 2006 from 9.4% in the same quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, sales and marketing expenses were 9.1% in the first six months of 2006 and in the same period of the prior year. Although sales and marketing expenses decreased in both the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005, overall sales have also decreased in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods in 2005, thereby causing little fluctuation in the percentage of sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total sales in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The Commercial segment’s sales and marketing expense as a percentage of sales is far below that of the other segments.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million or 18.4% to $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $4.3 million in the same period from the prior year, primarily due to increased performance compensation costs and the inclusion of share based compensation costs, which existed only minimally in the prior year, offset by the cost reduction actions implemented in the second quarter of 2005. General and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million or 1.6% to $9.1 million in the first six months of 2006 from $9.0 in the same period of the prior year. The first six months of 2006 included increased performance compensation costs and share based compensation costs which existed only minimally in the same period of 2005, while 2005 included a $0.5 million charge for bad debt, which did not recur in 2006. The first six months of 2006 included lower general spending due to the cost reduction actions implemented during the second quarter of 2005. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 9.5% in the second quarter of 2006 from 7.0% in the same period of the prior year. For the first six months of 2006, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 8.3% from 7.2% for the same period of the prior year, primarily due to the aforementioned reasons.

Amortization of Intangible Assets

Expenses for the amortization of intangible assets decreased to $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.6 million in the same period from the prior year due to certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized and a reduction in the carrying value of certain intangible assets which were determined to have been impaired during 2005. For the first six months of 2006, expenses for amortization of intangible assets decreased to $0.3 million from $1.2 million in the same period of 2005 due to the same reasons mentioned above.

Impairment and Restructuring Charges

Impairment and restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2006 consist of charges of $0.2 million related to the termination of employment of certain employees who performed manufacturing functions, and relate primarily to severance benefits. Impairment and restructuring charges in the first six months of 2006 include the aforementioned charges and also charges of $0.3 million resulting from the termination of the Company’s former Chief Operating Officer, which relate primarily to severance benefits and include $0.1 million for the acceleration of stock awards.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2005, impairment and restructuring charges of $5.2 million were composed of two charges for the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2005. The Company determined that certain long-lived assets were impaired, and therefore recorded a $3.4 million charge to reduce these assets to fair value. This determination was based on a review of operations and assets which is performed on a quarterly basis. This impairment charge includes $1.7 million for identifiable intangible assets related to developed technology, for which the underlying undiscounted cash flows did not support the carrying value of the assets, $0.7 million of capitalized costs associated with a discontinued information technology systems development effort, and $1.1 million of tooling for products that were abandoned, discontinued, or for which the undiscounted cash flows did not support the asset’s carrying value. Fair value was determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis for each asset that was determined to be impaired. During the second quarter of fiscal 2005,

19

the Company adopted a cost reduction plan, including the termination of employment of certain employees. Restructuring charges of $1.8 million, primarily related to severance benefits, were recorded pursuant to this plan.

Total Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased $5.7 million or 31.2% to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $18.4 million in the same period a year ago. For the first six months of 2006, total operating expenses decreased $ 7.0 million or 22.0% to $25.0 million from $32.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in operating expenses for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods of 2005 was primarily due to the impairment and restructuring charges recorded in 2006 being significantly less than those recorded in 2005. The 2005 impairment charges also resulted in lower charges for amortization of intangibles in the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2006 as compared to the same periods of 2005. In addition, the Company benefited in 2006 from cost reduction actions implemented in the second quarter of 2005. Each of these decreases was partially offset by increases in share based compensation expense and performance compensation costs in the three and six months ended March 31, 2006, as compared to the same periods of 2005. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased to 23.9% in the second quarter of 2006 from 30.1% in the same quarter of the prior year. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses decreased to 22.7% in the first six months of 2006 from 25.8% in the same period of the prior year. These decreases were due to the reasons listed above.

Non-operating Income and Expense

Non-operating income and expense includes interest income on investments, interest expense, net foreign currency exchange gain or loss and other income or expenses. Net interest income increased to $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2006 from $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2005. Net interest income for the first six months of 2006 increased to $1.1 million in 2006 from $0.1 million in the same period of 2005. These changes were due to lower interest expense on decreased borrowings, higher cash balances earning interest, and higher overall interest rates as compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are related to timing differences in the receipt and payment of funds in various currencies, the conversion of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies to the applicable functional currency, and gains on losses on foreign exchange forward contracts. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses amounted to a net gain of $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2006, as compared to a slight net loss in the second quarter of 2005. In the first six months of 2006, foreign currency gains and losses amounted to a loss of $0.1 million as compared to a gain of $0.1 million in the same period of 2005.

The Company currently realizes less than one-fourth of its sales outside of the United States and is attempting to increase foreign sales through geographic expansion initiatives. Additionally, the functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiary is the Euro, which must be translated to U. S. dollars for consolidation. The Company hedges its Euro exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company believes that hedging mitigates the risk associated with foreign currency fluctuations.

Other expense in the second quarter of 2005 includes a $0.7 million charge related to reducing the carrying value of an investment in a publicly traded Taiwanese company, Topvision Technology. In the first six months of 2005, other expense includes an $0.9 million charge related to the reduction in the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Topvision Technology. The reduction in the carrying value was due to a sustained decline in that company’s market value that was determined to be other than temporary. The investment was sold prior to the end of fiscal 2005.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2006 was approximately 34%, which is an increase from the tax rate of 28% in the second quarter and six months ended April 1, 2005. The lower rate in 2005 was caused by the effects of losses created by the charges related to impairment and restructuring, causing a greater portion of the Company’s income to be from outside the United States in fiscal 2005, which is not expected to recur in 2006. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate was primarily due to the mix of profits earned by the Company and its subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions where income tax rates are substantially different than the United States statutory tax rates and the effect of state income taxes.

Net Income (Loss)

In the second quarter of fiscal 2006, net income was $2.0 million or $0.13 per diluted share. In the same quarter of the prior year, net loss was $4.2 million or $0.28 per share. For the first six months of fiscal 2006, net income was $3.5 million or $0.23 per diluted share compared to net loss of $4.1 million or $0.28 per share in the comparable period of the prior year.

20

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.9 million in the first six months of 2006. Net cash provided by operating activities in the same period of the prior year was $17.8 million. The net cash provided by operations in the first six months of fiscal 2006 primarily relates to net income, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges and share based compensation, offset by excess tax benefits from share based compensation. Neither depreciation and amortization nor share based compensation nor excess benefits from share based compensation required a current cash outlay. In addition, cash from operations was provided by decreases in accounts receivable and other current assets and increases in other current liabilities, all of which were offset by increases in inventory and deferred taxes and decreases in accounts payable and deferred revenue.

Working capital increased $11.2 million to $110.0 million at March 31, 2006 from $98.8 million at September 30, 2005. Total current assets increased $7.2 million in the first half of fiscal 2006. Cash and cash equivalents increased $21.1 million due to the reasons noted above and the maturity of short-term investments. Accounts receivable decreased $1.1 million due to timing of shipments and the collection of payments. Inventories increased $0.7 million due primarily to purchases made to support anticipated demand in the Commercial segment. Current liabilities decreased $3.9 million in the first half of 2006. Accounts payable decreased $5.6 million due to the timing of payments to vendors. Accrued compensation increased $0.7 million due to the timing of payments related to accrued salaries and related benefits and taxes. Deferred revenue decreased $0.5 million due to the timing of recognition of deferred revenue. Other current liabilities increased $1.5 million primarily due to increases in income taxes payable.

During the first half of 2006, cash of $0.5 million was used to purchase plant, property and equipment. These capital expenditures were primarily related to leasehold improvements made to our facilities.

The Company entered into a $50 million credit agreement in December 2003, replacing the Company’s prior credit agreement. The Company had no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005. The agreement expires December 1, 2008 and the borrowings are secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The interest rates can fluctuate quarterly based upon the actual funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio and the LIBOR rate. The agreement includes the following financial covenants: a fixed charge ratio, minimum EBITDA, minimum net worth and a funded-debt-to-EBITDA ratio. According to the credit agreement, expenses which did not or will not require a cash settlement, including impairment charges, costs associated with exit or disposal activities, and share based compensations are added back to net income in the calculation of EBITDA. On December 21, 2004, the credit agreement was amended to provide for increases in the commitment fee payable under the credit agreement if minimum EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters prior to the date of determination falls below $20 million. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2006 and September 30, 2005. Effective September 30, 2005, the credit agreement was amended to reduce the minimum EBITDA for the four fiscal quarters prior to the date of determination from $12.5 million to $9.0 million, and to alter the available borrowing level based upon the Company’s EBITDA. The Company may borrow up to $20 million if EBITDA is less than $15 million, the Company may borrow up to $35 million if EBITDA is between $15 million and $20 million, and the Company may borrow up to $50 million if EBITDA is $20 million or above. The Company also has a capital lease for the leasehold improvements in its corporate offices. The total minimum lease payments are $0.8 million, which are payable over the next four years. The Company believes its existing cash and investments together with cash generated from operations and existing borrowing capabilities will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to its investment portfolio. The Company mitigates its risk by diversifying its investments among high-credit-quality securities in accordance with the Company’s investment policy.

The Company believes that its net income and cash flow exposure relating to rate changes for short-term and long-term debt obligations is not material. The Company primarily enters into debt obligations to support acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital needs. The company does not hedge any interest rate exposures.

The Euro is the functional currency of the Company’s European subsidiary. The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain balance sheet exposures and intercompany balances against future movements in foreign exchange rates. The forward exchange contracts are settled and renewed on a monthly basis in order to maintain a balance between the balance sheet exposures and the contract amounts. The Company maintained open contracts of approximately $23.4 million as of March 31, 2006. If rates shifted dramatically, the Company believes it would not be impacted materially.

21

In addition, the Company does maintain cash balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. If foreign exchange rates were to weaken against the U.S. Dollar, the Company believes that the fair value of these foreign currency amounts would not decline by a material amount.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 that could significantly affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following issues and uncertainties, among others, should be considered in evaluating the Company’s future financial performance and prospects for growth.

We may experience losses selling commercial products.

The market for our commercial products is highly competitive and subject to rapid changes in prices and demand. Our failure to successfully manage inventory levels or quickly respond to changes in pricing, technology or consumer tastes and demand could result in lower than expected revenue, lower gross margin and excess and obsolete inventories of our commercial products which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Market conditions were characterized by rapid declines in end user pricing during portions of 2005 and 2006. Such declines cause the company’s inventory to lose value and trigger price protection obligations for channel inventory. Supply and pricing of LCD panels has been very volatile and will likely be in the future. This volatility, combined with lead times of five to eight weeks, may cause us to pay too much for products or suffer inadequate product supply.

We do not have long-term agreements with our resellers, who generally may terminate our relationship with 30- to 60-days notice. Such action by our resellers could substantially harm our operating results in this segment.

The Commercial segment has seen tremendous growth since we entered the market in fiscal 2001. Revenue from commercial products grew to $121.8 million in fiscal 2004, and decreased to $102.2 million in fiscal 2005. This revenue could continue to decrease due to competition, alternative products, pricing changes in the market place and potential shortages of products which would adversely affect our revenue levels and our results of operations. This segment absorbs a portion of the Company’s fixed costs. If this segment was discontinued or substantially reduced in size, it may not be possible to eliminate all of the fixed overhead costs that are allocated to the segment. If that were the case, a portion of the allocated fixed costs would have to be absorbed by the other two segments, potentially adversely affecting our overall financial performance.

Shortages of components and materials may delay or reduce our sales and increase our costs.

Inability to obtain sufficient quantities of components and other materials necessary to produce our displays could result in reduced or delayed sales. We obtain much of the material we use in the manufacture of our displays from a limited number of suppliers, and we do not have long-term supply contracts with any of them. For some of this material we do not have a guaranteed alternative source of supply. As a result, we are subject to cost fluctuations, supply interruptions and difficulties in obtaining materials. The Company has in the past and may in the future face difficulties ensuring an adequate supply of quality high resolution glass used in its medical displays. We are continually engaged in efforts to address this risk area.

For most of our products, vendor lead times significantly exceed our customers’ required delivery time causing us to order to forecast rather than order based on actual demand. Competition in the market continues to reduce the period of time customers will wait for product delivery. Ordering raw material and building finished goods based on our forecast exposes the Company to numerous risks including our inability to service customer demand in an acceptable timeframe, holding excess and obsolete inventory or having unabsorbed manufacturing overhead.

22

We have increased our reliance on Asian manufacturing companies for the manufacture of displays that we sell in all markets that the Company serves. We also rely on certain other contract manufacturing operations in Asia, including those that produce circuit boards and other components where we may be sole-sourced, and those that manufacture and assemble certain of our products. We do not have long-term supply contracts with the Asian contract manufacturers on which we rely. If any of these Asian manufacturers were to terminate its arrangements with us, make decisions to terminate production of these products, or become unable to provide these displays to us on a timely basis, we could be unable to sell our products until alternative manufacturing arrangements are made. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we would be able to establish replacement manufacturing or assembly arrangements and relationships on acceptable terms, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

Our reliance on contract manufacturers involves certain risks, including, but not limited to:

• lack of control over production capacity and delivery schedules;

• unanticipated interruptions in transportation and logistics;

• limited control over quality assurance, manufacturing yields and production costs;

• potential termination by our vendors of agreements to supply materials to us, which would necessitate our contracting of alternative suppliers, which may not be possible;

• risks associated with international commerce, including unexpected changes in legal and regulatory requirements, foreign currency fluctuations and changes in tariffs; and

• trade policies and political and economic instability.

Most of the contract manufacturers with which we do business are located in Asia which has experienced several earthquakes, tsunamis and typhoons which resulted in business interruptions. Our business could suffer significantly if the operations of vendors there or elsewhere were disrupted for extended periods of time.

We currently have a contract with a software developer in India to develop software on our behalf. We do not have a long-term contract with this developer, and if the developer were to terminate its arrangement with us or become unable to provide software to us on a timely basis we could be unable to sell future products into which this software would be integrated.

Changes in internal controls or accounting guidance could cause volatility in our stock price.

The fiscal year ending September 30, 2005 was the first year that our internal controls over financial reporting were audited by our independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section 404”). Guidance regarding implementation and interpretation of the provisions of Section 404 continues to be issued by the standards-setting community. As a result of the ongoing interpretation of new guidance and the audit testing to be completed in the future, or of any future changes in our control environment, our internal controls over financial reporting may include an unidentified material weakness which would result in receiving an adverse opinion on our internal controls over financial reporting from our independent registered public accounting firm. This could result in significant additional expenditures responding to the Section 404 internal control audit, heightened regulatory scrutiny and potentially an adverse effect to the price of our company’s stock.

In addition, due to increased regulatory scrutiny surrounding publicly traded companies, the possibility exists that a restatement of past financial results could be necessitated by an alternative interpretation of present accounting guidance and practice. Although management does not currently anticipate that this will occur, a potential result of such interpretation could be an adverse effect on the Company’s stock price.

We face intense competition.

The market for display products is highly competitive, and we expect this to continue and even intensify. We believe that over time this competition will have the effect of reducing average selling prices of our products. Certain of our competitors have substantially greater name recognition and financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. There is no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in developing or marketing products that would render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. To the extent we are unable to compete effectively against our competitors, whether due to such practices or otherwise, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

23

Our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, both within and outside our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• our effectiveness in designing new product solutions, including those incorporating new technologies;

• our ability to anticipate and address the needs of our customers;

• the quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use, pricing and diversity of our product solutions;

• foreign currency fluctuations, which may cause competitors’ products to be priced significantly lower than our product solutions;

• the quality of our customer services;

• the effectiveness of our supply chain management;

• our ability to identify new vertical markets and develop attractive products for them;

• our ability to develop and maintain effective sales channels;

• the rate at which customers incorporate our product solutions into their own products; and

• product or technology introductions by our competitors.

Our continued success depends on the development of new products and technologies.

Future results of operations will partly depend on our ability to improve and market our existing products and to successfully develop and market new products. Failing this, our products or technology could become obsolete or noncompetitive. New products and markets, by their nature, present significant risks and even if we are successful in developing new products, they typically result in pressure on gross margins during the initial phases as start-up activities are spread over lower initial sales volumes. We have experienced lower margins from new products and processes in the past, which have negatively impacted overall gross margins. In addition, customer relationships can be negatively impacted due to production problems and late delivery of shipments.

Future operating results will depend on our ability to continue to provide new product solutions that compare favorably on the basis of cost and performance with competitors. Our success in attracting new customers and developing new business depends on various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

• use of advances in technology;

• innovative development of products for new markets;

• efficient and cost-effective services;

• timely completion of the design and manufacture of new product solutions; and

• software currently being developed on our behalf by a software developer located in India.

Our efforts to develop new technologies may not result in commercial success.

Our research and development efforts with respect to new technologies may not result in market acceptance. Some or all of those technologies may not successfully make the transition from the research and development lab to cost-effective production as a result of technology problems, cost issues, yield problems and other factors. Even when we successfully complete a research and development effort with respect to a particular technology, we may fail to gain market acceptance due to:

• inadequate access to sales channels;

• superior products developed by our competitors;

• price considerations;

• ineffective market promotions and marketing programs; and

24

• lack of market demand for the products.

We face risks associated with international operations.

Our manufacturing, sales and distribution operations in Europe and Asia create a number of logistical and communications challenges. Our international operations also expose us to various economic, political and other risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

• management of a multi-national organization;

• compliance with local laws and regulatory requirements as well as changes in those laws and requirements;

• employment and severance issues;

• overlap of tax issues;

• tariffs and duties;

• employee turnover or labor unrest;

• lack of developed infrastructure;

• difficulties protecting intellectual property;

• risks associated with outbreaks of infectious diseases;

• the burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of foreign laws; and

• political or economic instability in certain parts of the world.

Changes in policies by the United States or foreign governments resulting in, among other things, increased duties, higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on the transfer or repatriation of funds, limitations on imports or exports, changes in environmental standards or regulations, or the expropriation of private enterprises also could have a materially adverse effect. Any actions by our host countries to curtail or reverse policies that encourage foreign investment or foreign trade also could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, U.S. trade policies, such as “most favored nation” status and trade preferences for certain Asian nations, could affect the attractiveness of our services to our U.S. customers.

Variability of customer requirements or losses of key customers may adversely affect our operating results.

We must provide increasingly rapid product turnaround and respond to ever-shorter lead times, while at the same time meet our customers’ product specifications and quality expectations. A variety of conditions, both specific to individual customers and generally affecting the demand for their products, may cause customers to cancel, reduce, or delay orders. These actions by a significant customer or by a set of customers could adversely affect our business. On occasion, customers require rapid increases in production, which can strain our resources and reduce our margins. We may lack sufficient capacity at any given time to meet our customers’ demands. Products sold to two customers comprised 26% and 31% and to one customer comprised 19% of total consolidated sales in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Sales to any of those customers, if lost, would have a material adverse impact on the results of operations. Although the Company does maintain allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments, such allowances may not be sufficient to offset an uncollectible accounts receivable balance from a significant customer. If accounts receivable from a significant customer or set of customers became uncollectible, a resulting charge could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We do not have long-term purchase commitments from our customers.

With the exception of the Industrial segment, our business is generally characterized by short-term purchase orders. We typically plan our production and inventory levels based on internal forecasts of customer demand which rely in part on nonbinding forecasts provided by our customers. As a result, our backlog generally does not exceed three months, which makes forecasting our sales difficult. Inaccuracies in our forecast as a result of changes in customer demand or otherwise may result in our inability to service customer demand in an acceptable timeframe, our holding excess and obsolete inventory or having unabsorbed manufacturing overhead. The failure to obtain anticipated orders and deferrals or cancellations of purchase commitments because of changes in customer requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have experienced such problems in the past and may experience such problems in the future.

25

Our operating results have significant fluctuations.

In addition to the variability resulting from the short-term nature of our customers’ commitments, other factors contribute to significant periodic quarterly fluctuations in our results of operations. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• the timing of orders;

• the volume of orders relative to our capacity;

• product introductions and market acceptance of new products or new generations of products;

• evolution in the lifecycles of customers’ products;

• changes in cost and availability of labor and components;

• product mix;

• variation in operating expenses;

• vesting of restricted stock based upon achievement of certain targeted stock prices;

• pricing and availability of competitive products and services; and

• changes or anticipated changes in economic conditions.

Accordingly, the results of any past periods should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance. It is likely that, in some future period, our operating results may be below expectations of public market analysts or investors. If this occurs, our stock price may decrease.

We must continue to add value to our portfolio of offerings.

Traditional display components are subject to increasing competition to the point of commodification. In addition, advances in core LCD technology makes standard displays effective in an increasing breadth of applications. We must add additional value to our products in software and services for which customers are willing to pay. These areas have not been a significant part of our business in the past and we may not execute well in the future. Failure to do so could adversely affect our revenue levels and our results of operations.

We must protect our intellectual property, and others could infringe on or misappropriate our rights.

We believe that our continued success partly depends on protecting our proprietary technology. We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property. We seek to protect some of our technology under trade secret laws, which afford only limited protection. We face risks associated with our intellectual property, including, but not limited to, the following:

• pending patent and copyright applications may not be issued;

• patent and copyright applications are filed only in limited countries;

• intellectual property laws may not protect our intellectual property rights;

• others may challenge, invalidate, or circumvent any patent or copyright issued to us;

• rights granted under patents or copyrights issued to us may not provide competitive advantages to us;

• unauthorized parties may attempt to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights; and

• others may independently develop similar technology or design around any patents issued to us.

We may find it necessary to take legal action in the future to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights or to defend against claims of infringement. Litigation can be very expensive and can distract our management’s time and attention, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, we may not be able to obtain a favorable outcome in any intellectual property litigation.

26

Others could claim that we are infringing their patents or other intellectual property rights. In the event of an allegation that we are infringing on another’s rights, we may not be able to obtain licenses on commercially reasonable terms from that party, if at all, or that party may commence litigation against us. The failure to obtain necessary licenses or other rights or the institution of litigation arising out of such claims could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We currently have a contract with a software developer in India to develop software on our behalf. Any software developed by them on our behalf could be subject to patent infringement by others.

The market price of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. During the past four fiscal quarters, the closing price of our stock ranged from $7.30 to $17.59. The market price of our common stock in the future is likely to continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

• variations in our operating results;

• public announcements by the Company as to its expectations of future sales and net income;

• actual or anticipated announcements of technical innovations or new product developments by us or our competitors;

• changes in analysts’ estimates of our financial performance;

• general conditions in the electronics industry; and

• worldwide economic and financial conditions.

In addition, the public stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for many technology companies and that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market fluctuations and other factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

A significant slowdown in the demand for our customers’ products would adversely affect our business.

In portions of our medical and industrial segments, we design and manufacture display solutions that our customers incorporate into their products. As a result, our success partly depends upon the market acceptance of our customers’ products. Accordingly, we must identify industries that have significant growth potential and establish relationships with customers who are successful in those industries. Failure to identify potential growth opportunities or establish relationships with customers in those industries would adversely affect our business. Dependence on the success of our customers’ products exposes us to a variety of risks, including, but not limited to, the following:

• our ability to match our design and manufacturing capacity with customer demand and to maintain satisfactory delivery schedules;

• customer order patterns, changes in order mix and the level and timing of orders that we can manufacture and ship in a quarter; and

• the cyclical nature of the industries and markets our customers serve.

These risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We must maintain satisfactory manufacturing yields and capacity.

An inability to maintain sufficient levels of productivity or to satisfy delivery schedules at our manufacturing facilities would adversely affect our operating results. The design and manufacture of our EL displays involves highly complex processes that are sensitive to a wide variety of factors, including the level of contaminants in the manufacturing environment, impurities in the materials used and the performance of personnel and equipment. At times we have experienced lower-than-anticipated manufacturing yields and lengthened delivery schedules and may experience such problems in the future, particularly with respect to new products or technologies. Any such problems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

27

We cannot provide any assurance that current environmental laws and product quality specification standards, or any laws or standards enacted in the future, will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our operations are subject to environmental and product quality regulations in each of the jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Some of our products use substances, such as lead, that are highly regulated or will not be allowed in certain jurisdictions in the future. If we cannot remove such substances from our products on a timely basis, and if we are unable to procure lead-free replacement parts, we may be unable to sell our products in such jurisdictions. We are currently redesigning certain products and working with our vendors to eliminate such substances in our products. In addition, regulations have been enacted in certain states which impose restrictions on waste disposal in the future. If we do not comply with applicable rules and regulations in connection with the use and disposal of such substances, we could be subject to significant liability or loss of future sales. Additionally, the European Union and certain European and other countries have established independent standards for certain medical products, including radiological imaging products, that are different from, and in some cases more restrictive than, the US standards. If we are unable to comply with these regulations or standards, or if other countries establish such regulations or standards with which we are unable to comply, we may not be allowed to sell our digital imaging or other products within the European Union and in other such countries. If the Company has inventory, upon full enactment of the standards and regulations, which becomes unsaleable due to its composition, a charge for inventory obsolescence could result.

EL products are manufactured at a single location, with no currently available substitute location.

Our EL products, which are based on proprietary technology, are produced in our manufacturing facility located in Espoo, Finland. Because the EL technology and manufacturing process is proprietary and unique, there exists no alternative location where it may be produced, either by the Company, or by another manufacturer. As such, loss of or damage to the manufacturing facility, or attrition in the facility’s skilled workforce, could cause a disruption in the manufacturing of the EL products, which compose a significant portion of our sales. Additionally, there are many fixed costs associated with such a manufacturing facility. If revenue levels were to decrease or other problems were encountered, this could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Future viability of the manufacturing facility located in Espoo, Finland is based on continued demand for EL products.

The majority of the products manufactured at the Company’s facility located in Espoo, Finland are based on EL technology. If demand for EL technology-based products diminishes significantly in the future, it could become necessary to cease manufacturing operations at this facility, which would likely result in an impairment loss on the associated property, plant and equipment, and restructuring charges related to employee severance.

The value of intangible assets and goodwill may become impaired in the future.

The company has intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet, which relate primarily to developed technology. The value of intangible assets represents our estimate of the net present value of future cash flows which can be derived from the developed technology over time, and is amortized over the estimated useful life of the underlying assets. The estimated future cash flows of the intangible assets are evaluated on a regular basis, and if it becomes apparent that these estimates will not be met, a reduction in the value of intangible assets will be required.

In addition, goodwill has been recorded which relates primarily to the Medical segment. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated annually, or when indicators of potential impairment exist. If the expected future cash flows related to the Medical segment decline, a reduction in the value of goodwill will be required, such as the reduction in value incurred in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Loss of key employees could adversely affect our business.

We depend on the services of certain employees with unique technical skills, many of whom do not have other employees with redundant skills backing them up. The loss of any of these key employees could adversely affect our business.

If a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Agreement) occurs during the term of the Agreement, the Agreement will continue in effect until two years after the Change in Control.

If Mr. Hix’s employment with the Company is terminated within two years after a Change in Control either by the Company without “Cause” (as defined in the Agreement ) or by Mr. Hix for “Good Reason” (as defined in the Agreement), Mr. Hix will be entitled to receive his full base salary through the date of termination and any benefits or awards (both cash and stock) that have been earned or are payable through the date of termination plus (i) a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary and (ii) an amount equal to the target bonus for the year of termination or Change in Control. In addition, Mr. Hix would be entitled to the continuation of health and insurance benefits for certain periods, and all outstanding unvested shares of restricted stock (except shares of restricted stock with performance-based vesting) and any and all outstanding unvested stock options that would vest during the twelve month period after the date of termination would immediately become fully vested.

If Mr. Hix’s employment with the Company is terminated within two years after a Change in Control either by the Company for Cause or as a result of his death, Mr. Hix will be entitled to receive his full base salary through the date of termination plus any benefits or awards (both cash and stock) that have been earned or are payable through the date of termination.

The Board of Directors has approved a Restricted Stock Award Agreement with Mr. Hix dated and effective as of May 2, 2006 (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”).
