1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

GENERAL

EXCESS OF COST OVER NET ASSETS OF PURCHASED BUSINESSES

Excess of cost over net assets of purchased businesses (goodwill) represents the
excess of purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of acquired
businesses. For the acquisitions of Posnet, CCI, Aspact, RGB and Jade, the
excess was allocated entirely to goodwill. Management determined that for these
acquired companies, there were no other identifiable intangible assets, such as
workforce, that would require an allocation of the purchase price. The workforce
of the acquired companies requires limited specialized skills. Goodwill is
stated at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years for DTI
and SB and over 25 years for all other acquired companies. The Company assesses
the recoverability of these intangible assets by determining whether the
amortization of the goodwill balances over the remaining lives can be recovered
through projected undiscounted cash flows of the related operations. The amount
of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on projected discounted cash
flows and is charged to operations in the period in which goodwill impairment is
determined by management. To date, management has not identified any impairment
of goodwill.

The Company recorded goodwill amortization of $585,300 and $84,800 for the
quarters ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, and $1,087,200 and
$148,400 for the six months ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No.128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"), which specifies
the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share
("EPS"). It replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted EPS with
basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes all dilution. It is based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
The Company adopted SFAS 128 in the quarter ended December 31, 1997 and has
restated all previously reported per share amounts to conform to the new
presentation.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and displaying of
comprehensive income and its components in the Company's consolidated financial
statements. Comprehensive income is defined in SFAS 130 as the change in equity
(net assets) of a business enterprise during the period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. Total comprehensive income
was $965,800 and $540,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and $1,679,200 and $1,027,700 for the six months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998. The primary difference from net income as reported is the
change in the cumulative translation adjustment.

SEGMENT  INFORMATION

In fiscal year 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information" ("SFAS 131"). SFAS 131 supersedes SFAS 14, "Financial Reporting for
Segments of a Business Enterprise", replacing the "industry segment" approach
with the "management" approach. The management approach designates the internal
organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and
assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. SFAS
131 also requires disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and
major customers. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not affect results of operations
or financial position but did affect the disclosure of segment information

2.  ACQUISITION OF RCS

In August 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
RCS. RCS implements, operates and supports packaged software applications for
the restaurant industry. The aggregate purchase price for the RCS capital stock
consisted of $3,033,100 in cash. The Company may, in the future, be required to
pay an additional $1,516,600 in cash and issue shares of its common stock with a
market value of up to $1,516,600 based upon the cumulative net profits of RCS
during the twenty four months ending August 31, 2001. The acquisition has been
accounted for by the purchase method, and accordingly, the results of operations
of RCS have been included with those of the Company commencing on the date of
acquisition. The purchase price resulted in excess of purchase price over the
fair value of net assets acquired of approximately $3.0 million. Such excess
(which will increase for any contingent payments) is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 10 years. The final allocation of the purchase price
may vary as additional information is obtained, and accordingly, the ultimate
allocation may differ from that used in the unaudited consolidated financial
statements included herein. The results of operations of RCS prior to August
1999 were not material.

3.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the six months ended December 31, 1999, 44,600 shares of common stock
were issued upon the exercise of stock options with a weighted average exercise
price of $8.73 per share and 183,968 shares of common stock with a value of
$1,748,000 were issued in connection with earnout provisions of the acquisition
of RGB and Jade.

4.  SEGMENT INFORMATION

In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"). The 1998 segment information has been restated to conform to the
1999 presentation. The Company's three reportable segments are as follows:

     (1)  Research and development- provides all research and development
          activities for the other business segments.

     (2)  Hardware products- designs, manufactures and markets open system
          touchscreen point-of-sale (POS) network-ready hardware systems. These
          systems can be sold on a stand-alone basis or integrated as part of an
          end-to-end solution.

     (3)  Solutions- provides retail foodservice technology solutions and
          services that enable restaurants and retailers to capture, analyze,
          disseminate and use information throughout the enterprise, from the
          point-of-sale (POS) cash register terminal to the back office to an
          organization's headquarters.

Segment data includes intersegment revenues. The Company does not allocate
corporate-headquarters costs or research and development costs to the
operating segments. Resources for research and development are allocated
based on budgets. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and
allocates resources to them based on net income/loss.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Aspeon, Inc. (the "Company") designs, manufactures, and markets open system
touchscreen point-of-sale ("POS") computers and provides POS systems integration
services primarily for the foodservice and retail industries.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be subject
to the safe harbors created thereby. The Company may experience significant
fluctuations in future operating results due to a number of factors, including,
among other things, the size and timing of individual orders; seasonality of
revenues; employee hiring and retention, particularly with respect to sales and
consulting personnel; lengthy sales and implementation cycles; reduction in
demand for existing products and services and shortening of product life cycles;
the timing of the introduction of products, product enhancements and services by
the Company or its competitors; competition in pricing in the POS systems
industry; market acceptance of new products; service personnel utilization
rates; the ability of the Company to expand its domestic and international
sales, as well as the mix of such sales; foreign currency exchange rates;
changes in the mix of products and services sold; general health of the
restaurant industry, particularly the quick service restaurant segment; the
ability of the Company to generate service agreements; product quality problems;
the ability of the Company to control costs; the Company's success in
establishing and expanding its direct and indirect distribution channels; the
mix of distribution channels through which the Company's products are sold; and
general economic conditions. Any of these factors could cause operating results
to vary significantly from prior periods. Significant variability in orders
during any period may have a material adverse impact on the Company's cash flow,
and any significant decrease in orders could have a material adverse impact on
the Company's results of operations and financial condition. As a result, the
Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its results of operations
are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication
of future performance. Fluctuations in the Company's operating results could
cause the price of the Company's Common Stock to fluctuate substantially.

Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among
other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, all of which
are difficult or impossible to predict accurately, and many of which are beyond
the control of the Company. In addition, the business and operations of the
Company are subject to substantial risks which increase the uncertainty inherent
in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties
inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the inclusion of
such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or
any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.

REVENUES-PRODUCT SALES. Revenues from product sales increased by 19.0% to
$16.7 million in 1999 compared to revenues of $14.0 million for 1998. The
change is due to an increase in product sales at the Javelin division
("Javelin") of $1.1 million, an increase at the three international
subsidiaries of $867,700, an increase at RGB/Jade of $886,400, an increase at
DTI, a newly acquired subsidiary, of $475,100 offset by a decrease at CCI of
$667,100. The increase in product sales at Javelin is attributable to an
increase in unit sales; at the three international subsidiaries the increase
is primarily due to the enhanced acceptance of the product in such markets
and the

                                       15
<PAGE>

continued maturation of the distribution channel; at RGB/Jade the increase is
due to the purchase of RGB/Jade in November 1998 that resulted in the
inclusion of operations of RGB/Jade for only two months in the quarter ended
December 31, 1998. The decrease at CCI is attributable to a delay in
shipments to a customer.

REVENUES-SERVICES. Revenues from services increased by 97.7% to $7.6 million in
1999 compared to revenues of $3.9 million for 1998. The change is primarily
attributable to an increase in service revenues at DTI and RCS, newly acquired
subsidiaries, of $3.1 million and an increase at RGB/Jade of $553,800. The
increase at RGB/Jade is due to the purchase of this subsidiary in November 1998
that resulted in the inclusion of operations of RGB/Jade for only two months in
the quarter ended December 31, 1998.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by 45.3% to $6.9 million in 1999 compared
to a gross profit of $4.8 million in 1998. The increase is comprised of the
following:

            Services         $ 2.0 million    $ 929,600        $ 1.1 million
</TABLE>


The increase in gross profit from product sales is primarily attributable to
the increase in product sales described above and a larger proportion of
products sold directly to end users which carried a higher gross margin.

The increase in gross profit from service revenues is primarily attributable
to gross profit on services provided by DTI and RCS, newly acquired
subsidiaries which were at a higher margin.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased by 72.8%
to $492,800 in 1999 compared to research and development expenses of $285,200 in
1998. The increase is primarily attributable to software development costs of
$136,300 and additional costs of $71,300 relating to the design of new hardware
product. The Company has expensed all software development costs as
technological feasability has not been achieved.

SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses increased by 85.9% to $1.9
million in 1999 compared to selling and marketing expenses of $1.0 million in
1998. The increase is primarily attributable to sales and marketing costs at DTI
and RCS of $227,100, additional personnel employed to expand the direct sales
forces and increased advertising costs associated with the growth of the
business.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased by
29.6% to $2.9 million in 1999 compared to general and administrative of $2.2
million in 1998. The change is due to an increase in general and administrative
expenses relating to DTI and RCS of $767,400, an increase in amortization of
goodwill of $500,500 offset by a decrease of general and administrative expenses
relating to Aspeon and CCI of $599,400. The increase in the


                                       16
<PAGE>

amortization of goodwill resulted from the acquisitions of RGB, Jade, DTI and
RCS. The decrease of general and administrative expenses at Aspeon and CCI
resulted from the continued consolidation of administrative functions.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $90,500 to $144,200 in 1999
compared to interest expense of $234,700 in 1998. The decrease is due to the use
of a portion of the proceeds from the follow-on offerings completed in October
1998 and February 1999 to repay certain indebtedness.

INCOME TAXES. Provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes increased by
$289,900 to $674,900 in 1999 compared to $385,000 in 1998. The increase is
attributable to the overall increase in income before income taxes of $771,500
as well as increases in income before income taxes from the Company's foreign
subsidiaries operating in jurisdictions with lower income tax rates than those
in the United States.

REVENUES-PRODUCT SALES. Revenues from product sales increased by 17.7% to
$30.1 million in 1999 compared to revenues of $25.6 million for 1998. The
change is due to an increase in product sales at the three international
subsidiaries of $1.6 million, an increase at RGB/Jade of $2.3 million, an
increase at DTI, a newly acquired subsidiary, of $1.6 million offset by a
decrease at CCI of $805,400. The increase in product sales at the three
international subsidiaries is primarily due to the enhanced acceptance of the
product in such markets and the continued maturation of the distribution
channel and the increase at RGB/Jade is due to the purchase of RGB/Jade in
November 1998 that resulted in the inclusion of operations of RGB/Jade for
only two months in the six months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease at
CCI is primarily attributable to a delay in shipments to a customer.

REVENUES-SERVICES. Revenues from services increased by 176.7% to $14.4
million in 1999 compared to revenues of $5.2 million for 1998. The change is
primarily attributable to an increase in service revenues at DTI and RCS,
newly acquired subsidiaries, of $6.0 million and an increase at RGB/Jade of
$3.4 million. The increase at RGB/Jade is due to the purchase of RGB/Jade in
November 1998 that resulted in the inclusion of operations of RGB/Jade for
only two months in the six months ended December 31, 1998.

GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit increased by 46.5% to $12.3 million in 1999 compared
to a gross profit of $8.4 million in 1998. The increase is comprised of the

            Services         $ 3.4 million    $ 1.2 million    $ 2.2 million
</TABLE>

The change in gross profit from product sales is primarily attributable to the
increase in product sales described above and a larger proportion of products
sold directly to end users which carried a higher gross margin.

The change in gross profit from service revenues is primarily attributable to
gross profit on services provided by DTI and RCS, newly acquired subsidiaries
which were at a higher margin.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development expenses increased by 64.9%
to $961,900 in 1999 compared to research and development expenses of $583,200 in
1998. The increase is primarily attributable to software development costs of
$271,800 and additional costs of $106,800 relating to the design of new hardware
product. The Company has expensed all software development costs as
technological feasibility has not been achieved.

SELLING AND MARKETING. Selling and marketing expenses increased by 159.8% to
$3.7 million in 1999 compared to selling and marketing expenses of $1.4 million
in 1998. The increase is primarily attributable to sales and marketing costs at
DTI and RCS of $357,700, additional personnel employed to expand the direct
sales forces and increased advertising costs associated with the growth of the
business.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. General and administrative expenses increased by
19.1% to $5.0 million in 1999 compared to general and administrative of $4.2
million in 1998. The change is due to an increase in general and
administrative expenses relating to DTI and RCS of $1.1 million, an increase
in amortization of goodwill of $938,800 offset by a decrease of general and
administrative expenses relating to Aspeon and CCI of $1.4 million. The
increase in the amortization of goodwill resulted from the acquisitions of
RGB, Jade, DTI and RCS. The decrease of general and administrative expenses
at Aspeon and CCI resulted from the continued consolidation of administrative
functions.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense decreased by $191,800 to $277,400 in 1999
compared to interest expense of $469,200 in 1998. The decrease is due to the use
of a portion of the proceeds from the follow-on offerings completed in October
1998 and February 1999 to repay certain indebtedness.

INCOME TAXES. Provision for federal, state and foreign income taxes increased by
$326,700 to $1.1 million in 1999 compared to $731,000 in 1998. The increase is
attributable to the overall increase in income before income taxes of $934,400
as well as increases in income before income taxes from the Company's foreign
subsidiaries operating in jurisdictions with lower income tax rates than those
in the United States.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On June 8, 1998, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries obtained a credit
facility of $7.5 million from a financial institution. The credit facility
expires on June 8, 2001 and consists of a line of credit of up to $6.0 million
and a term loan of $1.5 million. Under the line of credit, the Company may
borrow up to 80% of eligible receivables (as defined) and 50% of eligible
inventory (as defined) with monthly interest based upon the prime rate of a
national financial institution plus 1.75% (10.25% as of December 31, 1999). As
of December 31, 1999 borrowings outstanding under the line amounted to $2.1
million with approximately $2.9 million available for future borrowings.
Borrowings under the term loan are collateralized by substantially all of the
assets of the Company and bear interest at 13.65% per annum. The Company is
required to pay $25,000 per month under the term loan with all unpaid principal
and interest due on June 8, 2001.

Jade has a line of credit facility of $1,800,000 from an unrelated financial
institution. Borrowings under the line of credit are collateralized by all of
the assets of Jade and bear interest


                                       19
<PAGE>

at 2% over the U.K. Base rate (as defined). As of December 31, 1999, there were
no borrowings outstanding under the line.

In November 1998, the Company completed a public offering of 1,395,000 shares of
its common stock at $6.75 per share, netting proceeds to the Company of
approximately $8.1 million. Proceeds to the Company were used to repay
borrowings under the revolving line of credit of approximately $3.2 million, to
purchase all of the outstanding common stock of RGB and Jade and for general
corporate purposes.

In February 1999, the Company completed a public offering of 2,375,000 shares of
its common stock at $12.25 per share, netting proceeds to the Company of
approximately $26.9 million. Proceeds to the Company were used for the
acquisition of DTI and SB, working capital and general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.8
million and working capital of $28.5 million.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended December 31,
1999 amounted to $2.2 million and consisted primarily of income before
depreciation and amortization and increases in accounts payable offset by
increases in trade receivables and inventories. Cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended December 31, 1999 amounted to $2.0
million and consisted primarily of cash used to acquire the outstanding
common stock of RCS and the purchase of equipment net of proceeds from sales
of investments. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended
December 31, 1999 amounted to $126,900 and consisted primarily of repayments
of borrowings under the line of credit and notes payable.

The Company recently announced the formation of Aspeon Solutions, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary, focusing on delivering mission-critical business
applications customized to meet industry-specific needs. It is the intention
of Aspeon Solutions, Inc. to expand into several vertical markets. Such
expansion will require significant capital investments. If the Company or
Aspeon Solutions, Inc. is unable to secure the required capital, the
expansion of Aspeon Solutions, Inc. will have to be curtailed and/or abated.
The Company believes that, except for the expansion of Aspeon Solutions,
Inc., it has adequate financial resources to meet its capital requirements
for the next twelve months.
