  and inventory.  The line of credit agreement expires in August 1997 and
  provides for automatic renewals for successive periods of one year each,
  but allows for termination of the agreement at the end of any term.  The
  line of credit prohibits the payment of cash dividends without the
  lender's consent and requires the Company to comply with certain
  financial ratios, limits capital expenditures, and requires a minimum
  net worth level.  The Company was in compliance with these requirements
  at March 31, 1996 and September 30, 1995.  (See Subsequent events
  footnote - F  for new line of credit)
  
  
  NOTE E - STOCK TRANSACTION
  
     Initial public offering
  
     On November 17, 1995, the Company successfully completed an
  initial public offering of 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock and
  warrants to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  The initial
  public offering price was $6.00 per share of Common Stock and $0.10 per
  Warrant.  Each Warrant was immediately exercisable and entitled the
  registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a Price of
  $6.50  and expires on November 17, 2000.  The outstanding Warrants may
  be redeemed by the Company upon 30 days' written notice at $0.05 per
  Warrant, provided that the closing bid quotations of the Common Stock
  have averaged at least $9.00 per share for a period of any 20 trading
  days ending on the third day prior to the day on which the Company gives
  notice.
  
     In connection with the offering, the Company granted the
  underwriter the right to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock
  and 100,000 warrants.  The underwriter was also granted an over-allotment
  option of 150,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase an 
  additional 150,000 shares of common stock. In December 1995, the underwriter
  exercised its option and purchased the 150,000 warrants. The option to  
  purchase the 150,000 shares of common stock has expired.

  NOTE F - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
  
  1.  New line of credit
  
  On April 8, 1996, the Company completed a 3 year financing agreement
  with National Bank of Canada for a $6 million line of credit, at one-half 
  (.5) percent over the prime rate.  This new line of credit replaces
  the existing $3 million line (Note D).  These new funds were used in
  part to pay off the existing line of credit and to fund the acquisition
  of InCirT Technology (Note F - New acquisition).
  
  
  2.  New acquisition
  
  On May 2, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
  substantially all assets and assumed certain liabilities and the
  operations of InCirT Technology, a division of the Cerplex Group, Inc. 
  for $5.3 million, which consisted of $3.5 million in cash and 333,407 
  shares of common stock.  In addition, the Company will deliver to Cerplex 
  .09261 shares of its common stock for every dollar of past due over 90 days
  accounts receivable of ICT collected by the Company during the first 180
  days after the date of the acquisition closing up to a maximum of 55,568
  shares of common stock.  This transaction will be accounted for using
  the purchase method of accounting and will be effective as of April 1,
  1996.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                                                           
     The following discussion and analysis provides certain information
  which the Company's management believes is relevant to an assessment and
  understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial
  condition for the three and six month periods ending March 31, 1996 and
  1995.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited
  financial statements of the Issuer and notes thereto included in the
  Annual Report of the Issuer on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September
  30, 1995.
  
  General
  
     The Company develops and produces on a turnkey basis custom cable
  interconnections for original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") in the
  computer, computer peripheral and other computer related industries such
  as the telecommunications, instrumentation and testing equipment
  industries.  The Company's products connect electronic equipment, such
  as computers, to various external devices (such as video screens,
  printers, external disk drives, modems, telephone jacks, peripheral
  interfaces and networks) and connect devices within the equipment (such
  as power supplies, computer hard drives and PC cards).  Most of the
  Company's sales consist of custom cable interconnections developed in
  close collaboration with its customers.  The Company's customers include
  OEMs of computers including mainframes, desktops, portables, laptops,
  notebooks, pens and palmtops as well as OEMs of computer peripheral
  equipment such as modems, memory cards, LAN adapters, cellular phones,
  faxes and printers.  Other customers include OEMs of telecommunications,
  instrumentation and testing equipment.
  
  Results of Operations
  
     The acquisition of the net assets of QIS on March 24, 1995 has
  been accounted for as a purchase.  The statement of earnings data for
  the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 includes the results of
  operations of QIS for the period from March 24, 1995.
  
     The acquisition of the net assets MOTO-SAT in 1996, which was
  effective as of January 1, 1996 has been accounted for as a purchase. 
  The statement of earnings data for the three and six months ended March
  31, 1996 includes the results of operations of MOTO-SAT for the period
  from January 1, 1996.
                                      13
<PAGE>
  Net sales.    Net sales for the Company increased approximately 59% and
  63% for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 as compared 
  to the same periods in the prior year, respectively.  These increases were 
  principally due to increased volume of sales of the PCMCIA compatible 
  products and the inclusion of QIS and MOTO-SAT sales.  There have been no 
  material increases in prices of any of the Company's products between the 
  two periods and the Company anticipates that prices will remain subject to
  competitive pressures in the foreseeable future which may prohibit a
  significant price increase.
  
  Cost of sales.    Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales have
  increased to approximately 84% and 82% for the three and six month
  periods in 1996, respectively, as compared to 78% in both of the
  corresponding 1995 periods presented.  This increase resulted primarily 
  from the following factors:  1)  an increase in the per hour wages in the 
  Salt Lake City area due to an increased demand for workers and a very low
  unemployment rate;  2) a significant increase in sales resulting in an
  increased support and training manpower requirement; and  3)  a decrease 
  in efficiency resulting from time requirements to train workforce.  
  Subsequent to March 31, 1996 the Company has reorganized its production 
  facilities to improve its workflow and reduce material rework.  As a result, 
  the Company has reduced its work force by over 60 people and has improved 
  its training procedures.  The Company is also currently changing to a new 
  manufacturing software and accounting package, which will provide more 
  timely data information to management. 
  
  Operating expenses.    Operating expenses in total as a percent of net
  sales have remained constant at about 12% for all periods presented. 
  The Company increased its Sales and Marketing expenses to support the
  acquisition of QIS and to support a larger customer base.  This increase
  in Sales and Marketing expense represents only a 1% increase over prior
  periods as a percentage of net sales.  The Company has also invested in
  Research and Development in the current period as compared to no
  material investment in prior periods.  General and administrative
  expenses have decreased as a percent of net sales from about 6% in the
  prior year periods, to 4% and 5% in the three and six month 1996 periods
  presented, respectively. 
  
  Other income and expenses.    Other income and expenses have increased
  as a percent of sales from 1.1% to 1.6% for the three months ended March
  31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  This increase is due to a demand for
  increased borrowing (interest expense) to support the higher level of
  sales and its associated increased inventory and accounts receivable
  levels.  For the six month period ended March 31 other income and
  expenses have increased from 1.3% to 2.2% for 1995 and 1996,
  respectively.  This increase was primarily related to interest expense
  associated with the bridge loan used to fund the QIS acquisition which
  was repaid in November 1995 with IPO funds and general increases in
  borrowing to support increased sales, inventory and accounts receivable. 
  As noted in the subsequent events footnote the Company has negotiated a
  new line of credit which reduced the incremental borrowing rate from
  2.75% over prime to .5% over prime.  The line of credit was also
  increased from $3 million to $6 million.
  
                                      14
<PAGE>
  Earnings before income taxes.   Earnings before income taxes as a
  percentage of net sales decreased from 9.1% to 2.1% for the three months
  ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 1996.  Earnings before income taxes
  for the six months ended March 31, 1996 decreased from 8.9% in 1995 to
  4.1% in 1996.  These decreases were primarily due to increased direct
  labor rate costs, increased inefficiencies in production, and increased
  interest expense to support the increased sales levels, inventory and
  accounts receivable.  
  
  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  
     The Company has historically financed its operations through
  operating cash flow and lines of credit.  However, on November 17, 1995,
  the Company completed an initial public offering which produced net
  proceeds of approximately $4,807,000.  This offering significantly
  increased the cash and equity balances.  It also allowed the Company to
  retire the $1,600,000 debt associated with the QIS acquisition,  and to
  purchase additional inventory and equipment to support the increased
  production levels.
  
     The current ratio has increased from approximately 1:1 at September 30,
  1995 to approximately 2:1 at March 31, 1996.  This increase is primarily 
  the result of the proceeds received from the IPO.
   
     Working capital increased from $126,710 at September 30, 1995 to
  $5,011,353 at March 31, 1996.  The increase as principally due to
  earnings in the period and the net proceeds received from the initial
  public offering. 
  
     After March 31, 1996, the Company entered into a 3 year financing
  arrangement with National Bank of Canada (see Note F  to Financial
  Statements).
  
     Management believes that existing cash balances, borrowings
  available under the line of credit, and cash generated from operations
  will be adequate to meet the Company's anticipated cash requirements
  during the next twelve months.  However, in the event the Company
  experiences adverse operating performance or above anticipated capital
  expenditure requirements, additional financing may be required.  There
  can be no assurance that such additional financing, if required, would
  be available on favorable terms.
  
     Inflation and Seasonality
  
     The Company does not believe that it is significantly impacted by
  inflation.  Historically, the industry sales tend to decline in January,
  February, July and August when activity in the personal computer
  industry as a whole is reduced.  However, the Company does not
  anticipate a significant sales decline due to expanded marketing efforts
  and backlog orders.
