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

Overview

The Company  achieved  record  revenue of $8.9 million for the second quarter of
1999 as net income for the quarter  increased 99% and diluted earnings per share
doubled from a year earlier.  The Company also achieved  record revenue of $17.0
million for the first half of 1999 and posted record six months earnings of $3.3
million, an increase of 45% from the same period in 1998. An increase in revenue
and an improvement  in gross margin  resulted in a higher return on sales during
the second  quarter and the first six months of 1999,  compared to 1998.  On the
balance  sheet at June 30, 1999,  the Company had no debt,  approximately  $28.7
million in cash and marketable  securities,  and average  weighted common shares
outstanding of 7.7 million. At June 30, 1999, net assets per share was $4.77, of
which  $3.74 was cash.  For the six months  ended  June 30,  1999,  the  Company
generated  income  from  operations,  excluding  depreciation  and  amortization
(EBITDA) of $4.9 million,  compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 1998.
International  sales  amounted  to 20% of  revenue  in the  first  half of 1999,
compared to 15% of revenue in the same period in 1998.

During 1999, the Company's  development and delivery of new products was focused
on two distinct  communications  markets,  Wide Area  Networking  and Local Area
Network Switching.

Wide Area Network  communications:  The Company's  overall Wide Area  Networking
strategy is to provide  customers with hardware and software  product  solutions
that  support a variety of open system  platforms  and  operating  systems.  The
growth in the Wide Area Network (WAN)  communications  market is being driven by
the  expansion of the  Internet,  cellular  communications  and the  convergence
occurring  between  data  and  voice  communications.  At  the  same  time,  the
technologies  for Wide  Area  Networking  products  are  changing  dramatically.
Server,  workstation,  and  telecommunications  providers  are  migrating  their
platforms   and   applications   to  newer   industry   standard   hardware  bus
architectures:   PCIBus  and  CompactPCI.   These  technology  changes  offer  a
significant  opportunity for the Company.  PTI began shipping WAN communications
products for the PCIBus market in 1996. In 1998, PCIBus products represented 48%
of the Company's WAN revenue. The next emerging hardware form factor the Company
is addressing is CompactPCI (cPCI). cPCI is a new standard bus architecture that
combines  the  attributes  of the VMEbus and PCIBus  hardware  into a ruggedized
industrial   hardware   system   for   the   embedded   OEM   marketplace.   The
telecommunications  and defense  industries are expressing great interest in the
cPCI system architecture for meeting their application requirements.  Currently,
the  Company's  cPCI WAN  products  are being  evaluated  for more  than  thirty
potential  integration  opportunities  and the Company has  received  orders for
shipment of cPCI products during the second half of 1999.

To  complement  the  Company's  hardware  development,   communication  software
protocols  have  been  developed  for the  PCIBus  and  cPCI WAN  product  lines
including:  Frame Relay,  Signaling System #7 (SS7), X.25,  High-Level Data Link
Control (HDLC) and a variety of specialized protocols to facilitate high and low
speed  communications.   In  June,  the  Company  introduced   Channel7(TM),   a
comprehensive  hardware and SS7 software  MTP-2  solution that provides  telecom
equipment  manufacturers  and  developers  with enabling  technology for a broad
range of  applications  and systems.  While  Channel7  has superior  competitive
features,  the product is also  significant  from a strategic  perspective as it
represents the Company's first major milestone in offering Advanced  Intelligent
Network (AIN) software for its WAN products.  SS7 technology is a basic building
block for applications such as Voice over IP Gateways, Cellular Roaming support,
Caller ID and call routing to Call Centers.

Local  Area   Network   Switching:   The   Company  has  been   developing   its
second-generation  family of high performance  100Mbit/Gigabit  Network Switches
for Local Area Networks.  The  centerpiece  of the Company's  Local Area Network
switch  strategy is the Nebula 8000 Fault  Tolerant  Switch.  The Nebula  8000's
redundant switch fabric has been engineered for maximum availability and minimal
mean time to repair.  Its  innovative  design  ensures  that no single  point of
failure will shut down a network. The Company currently has a patent application
pending for a variety of aspects associated with the fault tolerant design.

                                       6
<PAGE>


The market  demands  for fault  tolerant  computing  and  networking  are rising
rapidly.  Management believes that deployment of its fault tolerant technologies
in the new  Nebula  8000  Network  Switch is a logical  extension  of the market
demand  for  high  availability  server  clusters  and  ultra  reliable  network
infrastructure. Prospective customers in the banking, brokerage, medical imaging
and defense industries are expressing serious interest in this product.

As of the end of the second quarter, the Nebula 8000 Ethernet Switch had been in
the full beta testing stage, at multiple sites, for more than sixty days. By the
end of July,  the  Nebula  Switch  was  performing  well in  certain  networking
environments and limited  shipments began to customers with these  environments.
In order for the switch to operate in a wider range of networking  environments,
additional software engineering and beta testing is required. This could take up
to sixty days, or possibly longer.


            Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999, compared with
                 the Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

Sales.  Sales for the second quarter 1999 increased 47% to $8,923,000,  compared
to $6,051,000 for the second  quarter 1998.  Sales for the six months ended June
30, 1999 were  $17,036,000,  an increase of $3,574,000 or 27%, from  $13,462,000
for the first six months of 1998.  The Company's  products are grouped into four
categories:   WAN  communications  products,  LAN  interface  products,  Network
Switching products, and Other products (combining Network System products,  Mass
Storage Interface products, and Inter-System Connectivity products).

WAN communications product revenue increased 23% to $4,448,000 during the second
quarter of 1999,  compared to $3,613,000 for the second quarter 1998. During the
first half of 1999,  shipments to a large OEM customer  who  represented  13% of
revenue in 1998, were less than $400,000  because the customer  appeared to have
inventory  issues.  The  Company  has  received  new  orders  for third  quarter
shipments  as well as better  visibility  for future  orders and  believes  this
customer will increase shipments during the second half of the year.

Shipments  of LAN  interface  products for the second  quarter 1999  amounted to
$3,338,000,  or 37% of  sales,  compared  to  $737,000,  or 12% of sales for the
second  quarter 1998.  For the first six months of 1999,  sales of LAN interface
products were  $6,213,000,  or 36% of sales,  compared to $1,431,000,  or 11% of
sales for the respective  period in 1998. The largest component of the Company's
LAN  business  is  generated  from  Commercial  Off  the  Shelf  (COTS)  Defense
applications.  During 1998, a large  follow-on  Department of Defense  contract,
which had been  delayed for most of 1998,  was awarded in  September.  Total LAN
revenue in 1999 is  expected  to be  greater  than in 1998 due to the impact (on
1998) of the  delay in the  award of the  follow-on  contract  and  because  the
Company received a new $8.3 million order for LAN products in April 1999, all of
which is now a firm order.  Delivery  began on this order in the second  quarter
and the balance of this order is expected to ship to the customer  over the next
twelve months. In June 1999, the customer placed an additional  contingent order
of $2.6 million for LAN products and confirmation  should be received before the
end of September 1999.

Network Switching  products:  The centerpiece of the Company's network switching
product strategy is the Nebula 8000 Fault Tolerant Network Switch.  This product
had not been  released as of the end of June 1999.  Network  switch  revenue was
negligible during the second quarter 1999.

Other  products  represented  $1,137,000,  or 13% of total  sales in the  second
quarter 1999, compared to $1,701,000 for the same period in 1998. Shipments were
12% of total sales for the first six months of 1999,  compared to 28% during the
same period in 1998. Other products include the Company's  older/legacy products
previously  grouped in Network System products,  Mass Storage Interface products
and  Inter-System  Connectivity  products.  Many of these  products  are project
oriented and shipments can fluctuate on a quarterly basis.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the second quarter 1999 was $5,684,000,  or 63.7%
of sales, compared to $3,569,000, or 59.0% of sales for the second quarter 1998.
Gross  profit  for the first  half of 1999 was  $10,662,000,  or 62.6% of sales,
compared  to  $8,117,000,  or 60.3% of sales for the same  period  in 1998.  The
increase in gross margin for the second quarter and the first six months of 1999
over the  comparable  1998  periods is  attributable  to  management's  focus on
reducing  its  material   costs,   favorable   product  mix  and   manufacturing
efficiencies based on higher volumes.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $3,381,000,  or 37.9% of sales
for the second quarter 1999,  compared to $2,548,000,  or 42.1% of sales for the
second quarter 1998. Total operating expenses were $6,223,000, or 36.5% of sales
for the first half of 1999,  compared to  $5,190,000,  or 38.6% of sales for the
six months ended June 30, 1998.

Selling and marketing expenses were $1,306,000, or 14.6% of sales for the second
quarter 1999, compared to $1,041,000,  or 17.2% of sales for the same quarter in
1998. Selling and marketing  expenses amounted to $2,366,000,  or 13.9% of sales
for the six months  ended June 30,  1999,  compared to  $1,934,000,  or 14.4% of
sales for the same period in 1998.  During the second  quarter 1999, the Company
demonstrated its Nebula Family of network switches at  Networld+Interop99 in Las
Vegas  and its new WAN  Communication  products  at  SuperComm  '99 in  Atlanta.
Selling and  marketing  expenses  for the  remainder  of 1999 are expected to be
greater than the first half of the year as more resources are being committed to
promote  the  Company's  new  products,   particularly  the  Network  Switching,
CompactPCI products and Channel7 (SS7) products.

Research and  development  expenses were  $1,405,000,  or 15.7% of sales for the
second quarter 1999, compared to $907,000,  or 15.0% of sales for the comparable
quarter of 1998. Research and development expenses were $2,630,000,  or 15.4% of
sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999,  compared to $1,970,000,  or 14.6%
of sales  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998.  Even  though a number  of
engineers have been hired during the past twelve months, the Company is actively
recruiting to fill new positions and has engaged outside engineering consultants
to assist on  engineering  projects.  The increase in research  and  development
expenses  for the second  quarter  1999 and the first half of 1999 is  primarily
attributable  to these  factors.  Management  expects  research and  development
expenses to increase during the second half of 1999,  compared to the first half
of the year, as the Company  continues  development of the Network Switching and
WAN products.

General and  administrative  expenses  were  $670,000,  or 7.5% of sales for the
second  quarter  1999,  compared  to  $600,000,  or 9.9% of sales for the second
quarter 1998.  General and administrative  expenses were $1,227,000,  or 7.2% of
sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1,286,000, or 9.6% of
sales for the first  half of 1998.  The  Company  continues  to  maintain  tight
control over its general and administrative expenses. Management expects general
and  administrative  expenses  will  decline as a  percentage  of sales in 1999,
compared to 1998.

Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $925,000 in the second quarter
1999, compared to $463,000 for the same quarter in 1998. The effective corporate
income tax rate for the  second  quarter  1999 and 1998 was  35.0%.  For the six
months  ended  June 30,  1999,  the  provision  for  income  taxes  amounted  to
$1,786,000,  compared  to  $1,261,000  for the  first six  months  of 1998.  The
effective  corporate income tax rate was 35.0%,  compared to 35.6% for the first
six months of 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 1999, the Company's  primary  source of liquidity  included cash and
cash  equivalents of $7,712,000,  marketable  securities with a maturity of less
than one year of  $21,016,000  and available  borrowings  of $5,000,000  under a
revolving  credit facility with a bank. No amounts were  outstanding  under this
credit  facility  as of June 30,  1999.  The  Company  had  working  capital  of
$35,497,000 at June 30, 1999,  compared to $31,790,000 at December 31, 1998, and
$28,625,000 at June 30, 1998.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$3,171,000,  compared to $3,300,000  for the same period in 1998. The difference
in cash provided by operating  activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 is  primarily  attributable  to  changes in the  components  of working
capital.

Capitalization of certain software development costs amounted to $64,000 for the
six months  ended June 30,  1999,  compared to  $403,000  for the same period in
1998.


Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

Many companies are facing a potential issue regarding the ability of information
systems to  accommodate  the coming year 2000. The Year 2000 issue is the result
of computer  programs  using only the last two digits to indicate  the year.  If


                                       8
<PAGE>

uncorrected, such computer programs will be unable to interpret dates beyond the
year 1999,  which could cause computer  system failure or other computer  errors
disrupting  operations.  The Company  recognizes the importance of the Year 2000
issue and has been giving it high priority. The Company created a corporate-wide
Year 2000  project team and the team's  objective is to ensure an  uninterrupted
transition  into the Year  2000.  The  scope of the Year 2000  readiness  effort
includes (i) information  technology ("IT") such as software and hardware;  (ii)
non-IT systems or embedded technology; and (iii) readiness of key third parties,
including  suppliers and customers,  and the electronic data  interchange  (EDI)
with those key third parties.  If needed  modifications  and conversions are not
made on a timely basis, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse effect
on Company operations.

The  Company  has  completed  Phase I and II of its  readiness  plan  for its IT
systems and non-IT systems. These phases consisted of evaluating and testing its
IT systems and non-IT systems. The Company is in the process of completing Phase
III which  consists of upgrading  and/or  replacing IT system and non-IT  system
components  specifically  required for Year 2000  readiness.  Phase IV,  planned
during the fourth quarter of 1999, will consist of finalizing  contingency plans
for  temporary  operation  should  unexpected  difficulties  with IT systems and
non-IT  systems  occur.  The  development  of these  contingency  plans began in
conjunction with upgrading its IT system.

In addition  to internal  Year 2000 IT and non-IT  remediation  activities,  the
Company has contacted key suppliers and customers to assure no  interruption  in
the relationship  between the Company and these important third parties from the
Year 2000 issue. The Company has received many responses of its inquiries and is
waiting for the  remaining  responses  from these  suppliers  and  customers  to
conclude its  assessment  if such third parties have any known Year 2000 issues.
If third  parties do not convert  their  systems in a timely manner and in a way
that is compatible with the Company's systems,  the Year 2000 issue could have a
material  adverse effect on Company  operations.  The Company  believes that its
diligent actions with key suppliers and customers will minimize these risks.

The vast  majority of the  Company's  products are not  date-sensitive  and this
information has been available to customers since November 1998.

While the  Company  expects its  internal IT and non-IT  systems to be Year 2000
compliant  by the dates  specified  within its  internal  plan,  the  Company is
working on a  contingency  plan  specifying  what the  Company  will do if it or
important third parties are not Year 2000 compliant by the required  dates.  The
Company expects to have such a contingency  plan finalized by the second half of
1999.

Through June 1999, the Company has not incurred  significant  incremental  costs
related  to the  Year  2000  issue.  The  total  projected  incremental  cost is
estimated to be $150,000. The Company is expensing as incurred all costs related
to the  assessment  and  remediation of the Year 2000 issue unless the nature of
the item is an upgrade or  replacement of a system with a useful life that meets
the capitalization  policy of the Company.  These costs are being funded through
operating cash flows.  The Company's total cost for the Year 2000 issue includes
estimated costs and time associated  with  interfacing  with third parties' Year
2000 issues. These estimates are based on currently available information.

The  Company's  current  estimates of the amount of time and costs  necessary to
remediate and test its computer systems are based on the facts and circumstances
existing  at this time.  The  estimates  were made using  assumptions  of future
events  including the continued  availability  of certain  resources,  Year 2000
modification  plans,  implementation  success  by key  third-parties,  and other
factors. New developments may occur that could affect the Company's estimates of
the  amount of time and costs  necessary  to modify  and test its IT and  non-IT
systems  for Year  2000  compliance.  These  developments  include,  but are not
limited to: (i) the  availability  and cost of  personnel  trained in this area;
(ii) the  ability  to  locate  and  correct  all  relevant  computer  codes  and
equipment,  and (iii) the  planning  and Year 2000  compliance  success that key
customers and suppliers attain.

Year 2000  compliance is an issue for virtually all  businesses  whose  computer
systems and applications may require significant  hardware and software upgrades
or modifications. Companies owning and operating such systems may plan to devote
a  substantial  portion  of their  information  systems'  spending  to fund such
upgrades and  modifications.  It is the Company's  intention to fulfill its plan
and  become  Year  2000  compliant;  however,   uncertainties  exist  about  the
thoroughness  of how other  companies,  vendors,  customers  and  other  service
providers  that the  Company  does  business  with  will be  successful  at also
becoming Year 2000 compliant.  These other  companies,  regardless of the dollar


                                       9
<PAGE>

volume transacted with the Company,  may significantly affect either directly or
indirectly the operations of the Company.  Where  practicable,  the Company will
attempt to mitigate  its risks with  respect to the failure of  suppliers  to be
Year 2000  compliant.  In the event that suppliers are not Year 2000  compliant,
the Company will seek alternative  sources of supplies.  However,  such failures
remain a possibility  and could have an adverse impact on the Company's  results
of operations or financial condition.


Forward-Looking Statements AND RISK FACTORS

The Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for  certain  forward-looking  statements.  This  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q
contains  forward-looking  statements which reflect the Company's  current views
with respect to future events and financial  performance,  within the meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and Section 21E of the
Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbor provisions
of those Sections.

These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
