    Commenting on the results, Dennis Doolittle, President and Vice Chairman,
stated that "The first quarter results marked a return to profitability after
losses in the three previous quarters. Xitron, our wholly owned subsidiary,
continues to perform well with a 16% increase in sales over the same period in
the prior year due to strong growth in its OEM business.  In addition, orders
for the wide versions of both the Computer-to-Plate (CTP) and 3850 film imager
have been increasing.
    "As part of our continuing effort to reduce overhead and restore
profitability, a 6% worldwide workforce reduction was implemented in February,
with the majority of the layoffs in Thousand Oaks.  In addition, as previously
announced, the Company terminated its Laser Cinema Recorder Program." Mr.
Doolittle continued,  "We are confident that our ongoing cost control
initiatives, strong debt-free balance sheet and order backlog will continue to
be reflected in the coming quarters."
    Autologic Information International designs, manufactures, markets and
services computer-based electronic pre-press systems to the publishing
