Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations

Results of Operations-(stated in thousands)

         For the six months ended September 30, net sales increased 33% over the
corresponding  period in 1995,  from $1,238.0 to $1,647.6.  However,  net income
declined by 27% in comparison to the prior period,  from $161.2 to $118.4.  Cost
of sales  increased  from  $710.8 to  $1,112.6,  or 57%;  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses (which included certain expenses of the IPO as described
below) increased from $275.0 to $ 346.1 but, as a percentage of sales, decreased
from 22% to 21%. Interest income increased in the amount of $1.5.
         
         For the three months ended  September 30, net sales  increased 51% from
the corresponding period in 1995, from $546.7 to $826.9. Net income increased in
the amount of $13.7.  Gross profit  increased from $195.0 to $268.7,  decreasing
however  as a  percentage  of  sales  from  36% to  32%.  Selling,  general  and
administrative expenses also increased in the amount of $52.2 to $197.5, or 36%,
and decreased as a percentage of sales from 27% to 24%.

Discussion

         While there was an increase of 33% of sales between the  comparable six
month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, gross profit as a percentage of
sales  decreased  from 43% to 32% as a result of changing  customer and language
mix  and of  increasing  costs  of  expanding  capacity.  Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses also increased by approximately  $71,000,  which amount
includes  $49,000  of  salary  and  related  costs  of the CEO who was  involved
entirely  during  this period in the various  aspects of the  Company's  initial
public offering.
         The statements  presented for the comparative  periods are reclassified
to agree with the classifications of the current statements.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

         The Company  generated  cash from  operations  for the six months ended
September  30, 1996 of $158,482 and invested  $104,682 in equipment  and related
software and incurred $109,390 of costs in connection with the Company's initial
public offering.  The net change in operating assets and liabilities amounted to
$45,226.  Accordingly, cash and equivalents decreased by $100,816, from $530,340
as of April 1, 1996 to $429,524 as of September 30, 1996.
