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

  Results of Operations
  ---------------------

  Revenue during the quarter ending January 31, 1998 increased by 95% or
  $200,085 as compared to the corresponding quarter of 1997. The larger sales
  volume was due to an increase in sales in all product categories offered by
  the company including the sale of a long range PASSUR system.

  As a result of the increase in revenue the Company is reporting a net profit
  of $42,527 or $.02 per share in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 1998. In the
  comparable period of Fiscal Year 1997 the Company reported a net loss of
  ($149,056) or ($.09) per share.

  Overall Costs and Expenses during the first quarter of fiscal year 1998
  increased by only 2% or $8,476 when compared to the first quarter of Fiscal
  Year 1997.

  Cost of operations for the quarter ending January 31, 1998 increased by 9% or
  $19,508 as compared to the corresponding quarter of fiscal year 1997. The
  increase in operating costs is due to increases in labor costs combined with
  an increase in cost of material used in conjuction with the higher volume of
  sales.

  Costs of Research and Development (R&D) activities sponsored by the Company in
  the first quarter were lower by $11,673 or 28% as compared to the
  corresponding costs during the first quarter ending January 31, 1997. Most of
  these R&D activities concentrated on enhancements to the PASSUR and the ATMS
  products. The balance of the R&D activities were directed to the maintenance,
  enhancement, and improvement of the Company's existing products.

  General and administrative costs during the first quarter of fiscal year 1998
  were approximately the same as such costs during the first quarter of fiscal
  year 1997.

  As of October 31, 1997 the Company had available approximately $4,600,000 in
  Federal tax loss carryforward to offset possible future income. The Company
  also has available $25,000 in general business tax credit carryforwards. These
  carryforwards expire in various amounts through 2012 and 2008 respectively.

  Although inflation has not had a material effect on its operations, the
  Company is paying higher prices for smaller quantities of components purchased
  because of the scale down in its operations.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  -------------------------------

  During January 1998 the Company delivered a long range PASSUR system. As a
  result of this shipment, the Company had a large increase in sales volume
  which resulted in a first quarter profit of $42,527. If revenues remain at
  current levels, the Company should continue to report profits, thereby
  improving its liquidity.

  Interest by potential customers in the Company's PASSUR systems remains strong
  and the Company anticipates receiving additional orders for PASSUR systems in
  the near future. However, the Company cannot predict if such sales will
  materialize. If sales do not increase, losses may recur. The extent of such
  profits or losses will be dependent on sales volume achieved.

  Risk Factors; Forward Looking Statements
  ----------------------------------------

  The Management's Discussion and Analysis and the information provided
  elsewhere in this Form 10Q should be read in conjuction with other information
  provided in the Company's Form 10K for the Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 1997.
  Such information contains forward looking statements regarding the Company's
  future plans, objectives, and expected performance. These statements are based
  on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but are subject to a
  wide range of risks and uncertainties, and a number of factors could cause the
  Company's actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the
  forward-looking statements referred to above. These factors include, among
  others, the uncertainties related to the ability of the Company to get new
  sales of its PASSUR and other product lines due to potential competitive
  pressure from other companies or other products. Other uncertainties which
  could impact the Company are uncertainties with respect to future changes in
  governmental regulation affecting the product and its use in flight dispatch.
  Additional uncertainties are related to the Company's ability to find and
  maintain the personnel necessary to sell, manufacture, and service its
  products.

  Private Investor
  ----------------

  During the period between September 18, 1996 and June 6, 1997 the Company
  signed various agreements with Mr. G.S. Beckwith Gilbert, a private investor.
  Under these agreements, Mr. Gilbert provided the Company with three $100,000
  loans bearing a 9% interest rate, payable by July 30, 1997, and secured by the
  Company's assets, excluding the building. In consideration, the Company
  granted Mr. Gilbert three warrants to purchase up to 1,400,000 of the
  Company's common shares. On June 6, 1997, Mr. Gilbert and affiliated entities
  completed the purchase of 700,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an
  aggregate purchase price of $500,000. Of such purchase price, $400,000 was
  paid in cash and $100,000 was paid by the cancellation of a $100,000 loan
  previously made by Mr. Gilbert to the Company. On October 31, 1997, Mr.
  Gilbert and two other directors exercised a warrant to purchase an additional
  200,000 shares of the Company's common stock for an aggregate purchase price
  of $150,000. The exercise of this warrant has validated a third warrant issued
  to Mr. Gilbert under which he has the right to purchase up to 500,000
  additional shares at a share price of $1.25. The 500,000 share warrant expires
  October 31, 2001 and is exercisable during the year preceding expiration. The
  Company has also agreed to provide Mr. Gilbert with incidental registration
  rights for all the shares purchased under the warrants. The Company has no
  assurance that Mr. Gilbert will exercise his rights under the third warrant.
  On July 30, 1997, Mr. Gilbert and the Company signed an amended and restated
  loan agreement under which the outstanding loan balance of $200,000 will
  continue to accrue interest at an annual rate of 9%, but will have a maturity
  of July 30,1999. All accrued interest on such loan will be paid on a quarterly
  basis and the principal balance of such loan will be repaid at the rate of
  $25,000 per quarter, beginning December 31, 1997. The loan balance as of
  January 31, 1998 was $175,000.

  Mr.  Gilbert has been elected a director and Chairman of the Board and
  has designated  two  additional  board  members  to  the Company's six
  person  Board  of  Directors.  Mr.  Gilbert  is  President  and  Chief
  Executive Officer of Field Point  Capital Management Corp., a merchant
  banking firm located in Greenwich, Connecticut.
