Dear Mr. Millerick:

      We have reviewed your filings and have the following
comments.
We have limited our review to only your financial statements and
related disclosures and will make no further review of your
documents.  Where indicated, we think you should revise your
documents in response to these comments.  If you disagree, we will
consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or
a
revision is unnecessary.  Please be as detailed as necessary in
your
explanation.  In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide
us
with supplemental information so we may better understand your
disclosure.  After reviewing this information, we may or may not
raise additional comments.

	Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or on any other
aspect
of our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers
listed
at the end of this letter.



Form 10-K for the Fiscal Fear Ended July 31, 2004
Item 7. Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition
and Results of Operations - Page 10
Liquidity and Capital Resources - Page 17
1. We note that accounts receivable increased 3% during fiscal
2004
while revenues decreased 25% year over year.  Where material,
please
expand future filings to discuss the underlying reasons for this
or
similar inconsistencies between results of operations and
movements
in working capital.
2. We see that cash provided by operating activities has varied
significantly from period to period and that movements have been
significantly inconsistent with earnings.  In future filings
please
provide a more detailed analysis of movements in operating cash
flows
from period to period.  That analysis should identify and describe
the underlying drivers of operating cash flows and should more
fully
reflect the guidance from FR-72. Apply in future filings.
3. If and when you cite changes in working capital in explaining
movements in operating cash flows you should provide clear
explanation about the underling factors leading to those changes
in
working capital.  For instance, with respect to fiscal 2004 versus
fiscal 2003, future filings should provide a more complete and
transparent explanation about the impact of changes in advance
payments on operating cash flows.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures - Page 23
4. In future filings please disclose when the material weakness
was
identified, by whom it was identified and when the material
weakness
first began.
Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm - Page 36
5. In future filings the audit report should refer to the PCAOB by
its full name.  That is, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States).
Note 1. Restatement - Page 41
6. We see that you restated the financial statements for fiscal
2002,
for fiscal 2003 and for each of the first three quarters of fiscal
2004 "due to the incorrect application of software revenue
recognition procedures with respect to certain Camtronic`s
transactions."  We also see that in October 2003 you restated
financial results for fiscal 2001, for fiscal 2002 and for each of
the first three quarters of fiscal 2003 to recognize revenue in
accordance with SOP 97-2.  Is there overlap between these
restatements?  Were transactions restated in 2003 again restated
in
2005?  If so, why were those matters not identified in the 2003
restatement and why did your conclusions about those transactions
change again? Please respond supplementally.
Note 5. Explosive Assessment Computed Tomography ("EXACT") Systems
Agreement - Page 58
7. With respect to the $22 million received from L-3, we note that
"[t]he Company has not recorded any revenues, costs or assets
related
to these ramp-up funds."  Supplementally explain the rationale for
that accounting.  Explain why you believe that treatment is
appropriate.
Form 10-Q for the Period Ended January 31, 2005
Management`s Discussion and Analysis
Results of Operations - Page 19
8. We see that engineering gross margin decreased from 53% to 10%
between the year-to-date periods presented and that you attribute
that decrease to lower margins on customer projects.  Future
filings
should present a more detailed and specific explanation for this
item.  In general, you should present reasonably detailed and
specific explanation for material changes in financial statement
items.  Such disclosures should identify, quantify and provide
transparent explanation for cited changes.  Refer to FR-72 for
further guidance.
