Notes & Comments:

       (1)Significant Accounting Policies

       The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
       of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All material 
       intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in 
       consolidation.

       The Company has deferred revenue associated with the sale of certain 
       products which have future performance obligations, relating 
       to reinstallation of IBM memory and maintenance.

       The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by 
       the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
       Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote 
       disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in 
       accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
       condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although 
       the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the 
       information presented not misleading.  The information furnished 
       includes all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal 
       recurring accrual adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, 
       necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim period.  It 
       is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in 
       conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included 
       in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.

       Inventories, which include raw materials, labor and manufacturing 
       overhead are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market 
       and consist of the following:

Notes & Comments (Continued):


       (2)    Income and Dividends Per Share

              Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of 
              shares outstanding during each year plus applicable common stock 
              equivalents.  There were no material differences for per share 
              amounts assuming full dilution in either year.

       (3)    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
              Results of Operations

              Revenues for the third quarter ended September 27, 1997 decreased
              71% from the comparable three months of the prior year due 
              to decreased sales of the Company's mainframe storage and 
              client/server storage products. 

              The gross profit of 11% for the third quarter of 1997 was lower 
              than the 38% achieved in 1996 due to product mix and to the 
              relative amount of fixed costs in relation to lower revenues.

              Operating expenses for the three months ended September 27, 1997 
              decreased 47% from the comparable three months of the prior year 
              due principally to the cost savings achieved through a work force 
              reduction and other expense controls put in place. 

              Other expense for the three months ended September 28, 1996  
              included approximately $425,000 in amortization expenses relating
              to the Company's technology license/marketing agreement, which 
              was amortized over a five year period, ending in 1996. 

              During the first quarter, the Company received approximately 
              $2,300,000 in cash from the Internal Revenue Service, which 
              represented the refund due from prior periods.  This refund was 
              then used to repay the Company's outstanding debt under its 
              Revolving Credit Agreement.  After the final payment to its bank, 
              the Revolving Credit Agreement was terminated and the bank 
              released its security interest in the Company's accounts 
              receivable, inventory and general intangibles.

Notes & Comments (Continued):

              On July 25, 1997, the Cambex common stock ceased being traded 
              on the Nasdaq stock market and began trading on the OTC bulletin
              board (symbol: CBEX).

              On October 10, 1997, Cambex filed a petition for reorganization
              under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in
              Boston, Massachusetts. By filing this petition, Cambex will be
              given the opportunity to reorganize and restructure its
              indebtedness under court protection. The Company plans to file
              its Plan for Reorganization during the first quarter of 1998.
