1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

2.       ACQUISITION

In March 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets of
Communications Components Company, Inc. ("CCCI"), a manufacturer of network
connectivity products and systems. The purchase price of $800,000 excluding
acquisition costs of approximately $18,000, and the assumption of $341,000
accounts payable and accrued expenses, was payable $350,000 in cash at closing,
86,206 shares of common stock of the Company (valued at $150,000, or $1.74 per
share) and $300,000 payable with interest at 8% in annual installments over
three years. In connection with the acquisition of CCCI, the Company recorded
goodwill of approximately $391,000, which is being amortized over 15 years. The
balance of the purchase price was allocated as follows:

                  Cash                       $261,000
                  Accounts receivable         389,000
                  Inventory                   118,000
                                            ---------
                                             $768,000
                                            =========

This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method, whereby the
purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based upon
their estimated fair values. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of income include the results of the business acquired from its respective date
of acquisition.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents the results of operations
of the Company as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1999:

For the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the average number of
exercisable options that are considered dilutive are 624,295 and 171,031,
respectively.

Options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock at $3.69 per share were
outstanding during 2000, but not included in the computation of diluted EPS as
the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the
common shares. The options which expire in 2007 were outstanding at March 31,
2000.

Options to purchase 63,000 shares and 90,000 shares of common stock at $2.13 and
$3.69 per share, respectively, were outstanding during 1999, but not included in
the computation of diluted EPS as the options' exercise price was greater than
the average market price of the common shares. The options with expirations from
2006 to 2007 were outstanding at March 31, 1999.

         THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN
OF OPERATION" IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSB FOR 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         For the three month period ended March 31, 2000, the Company had
consolidated net sales of $6.7 million, an increase of $253,000, or 3.9%, over
consolidated net sales of $6.4 million for the same period of 1999. A
substantial portion of the increase is attributable to sales by CCCI, which was
acquired in March 1999. Sales in 2000 were also impacted by exchange rates.
While sales to the Company's international customers were higher from period to
period in the currency used in each of the Company's european subsidiaries,
these sales were lower in U.S. dollars based on exchange rate differences during
the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to exchange rate differences
during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

         The Company's gross profit was $2.7 million for the quarter ended March
31, 2000, compared with $3.0 million for the comparable period of 1999. Gross
profit margin was 40.5% for the 2000 first quarter, compared to a gross profit
margin of 46.3% for the 1999 first quarter. Margins are expected to drop
slightly in the future as the Company expands sales of networking products
(active and passive products), which have lower gross profit margin but a much
larger potential for the Company to grow compared with PC connectivity products.

         SG&A expenses were $2.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000,
unchanged from SG&A expenses of $2.3 million for the comparable period of 1999.

         For the reasons set forth above, the Company reported income from
operations of $390,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, a decrease of
$276,000 from income from operations of $666,000 for the comparable 1999 period.

         Interest expense was $53,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, a
increase from interest expense of $42,000 for the comparable period of 1999.
This increased was attributed to increased of cost of borrowing during the last
year and additional interest paid for funds borrowed in connection with the
acquisition of CCCI. The foreign currency losses


                                       8
<PAGE>

during the period ended March 31,2000 was $21,000 compared to $65,000 for the
1999 period, which reflects the strength of the US dollar compared with
European currencies.

         At March 31, 2000, basic shares outstanding were 3,264,097, an increase
of 4.9% over basic shares outstanding at March 31, 1999 of 3,111,408. The
increase was due primarily to the issuance of 173,000 shares as result of
exercised options, plus the issuance in March 1999 of 86,206 shares in
conjunction with the acquisition of CCCI. Average diluted shares outstanding
increased by 18.5% to 3,888,392 shares, from 3,282,439 shares, as additional
options to purchase the Company's common stock became dilutive. Reflecting these
increases in average basic and diluted shares, basic earnings per share were
$.08 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $.16 per share
for the comparable period of 1999, and diluted earnings per share were $.06 per
share for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, compared to $.15 per share for the
comparable period in 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Historically, the Company has financed its operations primarily with
cash flow from operations and with borrowings under its available credit lines.
At March 31, 2000, the Company's working capital was $5.3 million, and its
current ratio was 1.76:1, compared to working capital of $4.7 million and a
current ratio of 1.73:1 at December 31, 1999. At March 31, 2000, accounts
receivable were $3.4 million, an increase of 11.6% over accounts receivable of
$3.1 million at December 31, 1999. This increase was due to increased sales for
the quarter ending March 31, 2000, offset in part by an increase in the
allowance for doubtful accounts. At March 31, 2000, accounts payable and accrued
expenses were $4.2 million, an increase of 33.2% from accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $3.2 million at December 31, 1999. As of March 31, 2000,
note payable, representing borrowings from a financial institution under the
Company's line of credit, were reduced to $2.1 million, from $2.4 million at
December 31, 1999.

         For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net cash generated by operations
was $512,000, as the Company's net income plus a decrease in prepaid expenses
and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses led to cash being
generated, offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventories, and a
decrease in income taxes payable and other labilities. During the comparable
period in 1999, net cash used in operations was $166,000, as the Company's net
income, plus decreases in accounts receivable and increases in income taxes
payable and other liabilities were applied primarily to a reduction in accounts
payable and accrued expenses.

         For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net cash generated by financing
activities were $44,000, reflecting $336,000 in proceeds from the sale of stock
upon the exercise of stock options, offset by a reduction in borrowings of
$292,000. During the 1999 period, net cash used in financing activities was
$89,000, reflecting the payment of certain short term financial obligations and
repayment of a bank overdraft.

         Net cash provided by investing activities in the 2000 first quarter
included collection of loans from related parties of $207,000. In the 1999 first
quarter, net cash from investing activities was primarily related to the
acquisition of CCCI.

         In September 1999, the Company obtained a $3.5 million line of credit
from a financial institution. Borrowings available under the new line of credit,
which matures on September 2, 2000, bear interest at the rate of prime plus
one-quarter (.25) percent. Borrowings under the new line of credit are based on
specific percentages of the Company's receivables and inventories. The line of
credit is secured by a lien on the Company assets, including its accounts
receivable and inventories. The line of credit is also guaranteed by the
Company's principal stockholders, who have pledged the shares of the Company's
common stock which they own to secure their respective guarantees. Under the
terms of the loan agreement relating to the new line of credit, the Company is
required to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants and to
maintain certain financial benchmarks and ratios during future periods. As of
March 31, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all of the aforementioned
benchmarks and ratios. As of March 31, 2000, $2,144,000 was outstanding under
the credit line and $451,000 was available for borrowing under the line of
credit, based on applicable borrowing base formulas.

         The Company believes that the combination of its current working
capital position, internally generated cash flow and its existing or a new line
of credit will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations for the balance of
its fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. This is a projection, however, and
there can be no assurance that the Company's cash flow from operations and from
available lines of credit will satisfy the Company's working capital
requirements. Additionally, while the Company expects that its credit facility
will be renewed (or be replaced on similar terms) for another year, there can be
no assurance that this will occur.

         The Company does not believe that inflation has had a significant
effect on the Company's operations during the last several years. The Company
believes that it has historically been able to pass on increased costs of
production to its customers. However, given the labor-intensive nature of its
products and the fact that the majority of its production occurs in the Far
East, the Company may not continue to be able to pass on such increased costs in
the future.

         The Company was not impacted by Year 2000 related problems in its
operations, and believes that its present computer systems are Y2K compliant.
