*Each share of Series A Preferred Stock may be exchanged for one share of
Common Stock upon surrender of the Preferred Stock and payment of $1200 per
share. In view of the large difference between the current market value of
the stock and the conversion rate, these shares have not been added to the
total common shares used in computing the net earnings per share.
**Each Warrant may be exchanged for one share of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $6.00. In view of the large difference between the
current market value of the stock and the exercise price, these shares
have not been added to the total common shares used in computing the net
earnings per share.
Fully diluted earnings per share, assuming conversion of Series A and Series B
Preferred Stock, has not been reflected as the effect would be anti-dilutive
or not material.
NOTE 2 -LONG-TERM DEBT
On August 16, 1995, the Bank exchanged debt obligations for (a)$250,000 cash;
(b) $1,025,000 Five-year term loan and (c) 375,000 shares of Common stock.
The five-year term loan of $1,025,000 bears interest at the Bank's refinance
rate, plus 1 1/4% to be amortized as follows:
- - eight (8) quarterly payments of $12,500, beginning October 1995 through
July 1997;
- - eight (8) quarterly payments of $25,000, beginning October 1997 through
July 1999;
- - three (3) quarterly payments of $28,125, beginning October 1999 and ending
April 2000;
- - a balloon payment of $640,625, due July 2000.
NOTE 2 - CON'T
As a result of the above transaction, the Company realized a $1,232,728 gain
on debt compromise. In addition, the Bank released the existing guarantees
of Messrs. Benou and Havasy on the Closing Date.
On September 11, 1996, the Company entered into an Allonge agreement with the
bank whereby the bank may at any time before April 15, 1997 convert the then
unpaid amount of principal and interest due under the Amended and Restated
Term Note dated as of August 2, 1995 in the original principal amount of
$1,025,000 into 1,400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Notes
Shares").
On September 12, 1996 the bank entered into an option and purchase, sale and
assignment agreement (the "Option Agreement") with CNL Holdings, Inc. (CNL)
whereby the bank would sell the Note Shares referred to above, along with
the 375,000 shares of the Company it currently owns (the "Bank Shares")
for $1,500,000 to CNL.
On September 12, 1996 CNL entered into an agreement with the Company whereby
the Company would use its best efforts to file a Registration Statement
NOTES TO INTERIM STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE 2
with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the 375,000 Bank Shares
and the 1,400,000 Note Shares (collectively the "Acquired Shares"). Such
Registration Statement shall be declared effective as soon as possible after
the filing thereof, and kept current and effective for a period of two years
or until such time as all shares registered pursuant therewith have been sold
or otherwise transferred. The proceeds of the sales of the Acquired Shares
shall be applied as follows: The first $1,500,000 shall be paid to reimburse
CNL for payments made to the bank pursuant to the Option Agreement. Fifty
percent of the balance of the proceeds, not to exceed $2,500,000, shall be
loaned to the Company by CNL. The balance of the proceeds belong to CNL.
The amounts loaned by CNL to the Company shall be evidenced by notes which
shall be due twelve months after making such loan and shall bear interest at
the rate of 4% per annum. At maturity of the loans, the Company will have
the option to repay the loan balance and accrued interest by issuing a new
Series C Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") valued at $5.00 per share.
The Preferred Stock will be non-voting and will carry a cumulative dividend
of 8% per annum, which may be payable by the issuance of shares of common
stock valued at $5.00 per share up to a maximum of 40,000 shares per annum.
On January 31, 1997, The bank and Conolog entered into Amendment No. 1 to the
Option and Purchase, Sale and Assignment Agreement dated September 12, 1996.
The amended Option Agreement now provides that on or before February 5, 1997,
CNL will purchase from the Bank for an aggregate purchase price of $600,000,
no less than (i) 133,333 shares of Common Stock for $399,999, subject to the
approval of I.A. Rabinowitz, Inc. and (ii) $200,001 of the Debt claim
represented by the note. CNL thereafter may exercise the remainder of the
option on or before April 15,1997. In addition, CNL may purchase from the
Bank additional shares of Common Stock owned by the Bank at the price of
$3.00 per share and portions of the Debt Claim from time to time. On
February 3, 1997, CNL paid the Bank $600,000 consummating the purchase of
the above 200,000 shares. On January 31, 1997, $200,001 of the Debt
to the Bank was adjusted resulting in all accrued interest in the amount
of $106,298 being reduced and the remaining being applied to principal.

NOTE 4-TAXES
At January 31, 1997 the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $2,968,000 for financial reporting purposes and approximately
$3,025,000 for tax purposes which is available to offset future Federal
taxable income. For Federal purposes, $490,000 of the carryforward
expires in 2003, $346,000 expires in 2008, $1,232,000 expires in 2009 and
$957,000 expires in 2010. For State purposes the carryforward is
approximately $2,187,000; $57,000 expires in 2000, $1,232,000 expires in
2001 and $898,000 expires in 2002. Also, at January 31, 1997 the Company
NOTES TO INTERIM STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
NOTE 4
has unused tax credits available of approximately $103,300 of which $12,100
expires in 2000, $26,300 in 2001, and $64,900 in 2002.
Taxable income differs from financial statement income due to the effect
of non-deductible permanent tax differences. These permanent tax differences
include officer's life insurance premiums & non-deductible entertainment
expenses.
At January 31, 1997 no deferred income taxes have been provided for per
SFAS No 109 - Accounting for Income Taxes since management estimated that
temporary differences due to operating losses & tax credit carry forwards
will not be absorbed by future taxable income.
NOTE 5 - BRIDGE LOAN
The company borrowed $200,000 in a private placement. Each investor received
two Promissory Notes. The first Promissory Note is payable on the earlier
of December 31, 1997 or the closing of the Company's next public offering;
(the "First Note") and the second Note (the "Second Note"), plus accrued
interest for the First Note, is payable on the earlier of December 31, 1997
or the closing of the Company's next public offering, or convertible at the
option of the holder into Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase shares
of Series D Preferred Stock, which are new Preferred Stock securities
contemplated to be offered in the next public offering. At the time the next
registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Bridge Loan holders may exercise their respective option to
convert the Second Note into Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants. If all the
noteholders elect to convert the Second Note, the Company is obligated to
issue Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 1.2 million shares
of Series D Preferred Stock. The Company has agreed to register the
underlying Bridge Loan Warrants along with the new Series D Preferred Stock
to be registered in the public offering. The interest rate for the First Note
is eight percent (8%) per annum.
ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
QUARTER ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997
A summary of income, costs and expenses for the current quarter and
corresponding quarter of the previous year follows:
For the Quarter For the six months
Ended January 31, Ended January 31,
1997 1996 1997 1996
Revenues $ 448,852 $ 309,772 $867,586 $990,173

_________ _________ ________ _________
Net Income/(loss)
after Taxes $ 3,891 $(296,652) $(39,356) $ 433,627
========== ========== ========= =========
Revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 1997 totaled $448,852,
representing a increase of 45% or $139,080 from $309,772 reported for the
same quarter a year ago. Revenues increased largely due to releases
against the Company's long-term backlog of contracts; specifically
the Bonneville Power Administration.
Gross margin for the quarter totaled $231,778 representing 51.6% of revenues
as compared to a loss of $11,433 or 4% of revenues for the three month
period ended January 31, 1996. Gross margins for the quarter rose as a
result of a number of custom orders received by the Company for limited
quantities and rush orders for which a premium price was obtained.
Additional savings in manufacturing costs were the result of using low
cost subcontractors periodically during the period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $232,983 to
$201,444, representing a decrease of $31,539 for the quarter of 1997
as compared to 1996, due to fewer commissioned sales.
Interest expense decreased from $52,236 to $26,443 or $25,793 for the quarter
ended January 31, 1997 over the same period of 1996.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company reported a net income of $3,891,
or $0.00 per share for the quarter compared to a net loss of $296,652
or $(0.31) per share. (See note on Long-term debt)
SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997
Revenues for the six months ended January 31, 1997 totaled $867,586 versus
$990,173 for the same period last year. The lower revenues were attributable
to delays in the planned releases of orders from two of the largest commercial
customers of the Company.
Gross margin for the period totaled $391,241 as compared to $216,274 for the
period ended January 31, 1996, representing 45% and 22% of revenues,
respectively. Gross margins improved as a result of generally higher pricing
for special items requiring limited quantities and fast turnaround.
Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $378,478 as compared
to $439,552. This decline of $61,074 results from cost cutting initiatives
to reduce administrative and general expenses, especially with respect to
headcount and more direct sales.
As a result of the foregoing, operating income totaled $12,763 as compared
to an operating loss of $223,278.
Interest expense for the six months totaled $52,119 as compared to $83,371
for the prior six month period.
As a result of the foregoing, the Company realized a net loss of $39,356
or $(.04) per share as compared to net income of $433,627 or $.41 per share.
The net income for the six months ended January 31, 1996 included $740,376,
net of tax benefit of $492,376, in extraordinary items, representing $.72
per share.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
On August 16, 1995, the Company offered 235,750 Units (the Units) at a
price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of two (2) shares of
Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (Common Stock), and one (1)
Redeemable Class A Warrant for Common Stock (Class A Warrant). The
Common Stock and Class A Warrant are detachable and trade separately.
Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the
Company's Common Stock, at an exercise price of $6.00, subject to adjustment,
from August 17, 1996 through August 16, 1998. The Class A Warrants (the
Warrants) are subject to redemption by the Company at anytime after
August 17, 1996 on not less than 30 days notice at $.05 per warrant,
provided the average closing price of the Common Stock for 20 consecutive
trading days ending within 15 days prior to the notice exceeds $7.20 per
share.
The results of the offering were $1,853,025, net of offering costs.
Working Capital at January 31, 1997 was $2,104,451 compared to $1,914,981
at July 31, 1996.
During the period, the Company received a $200,000 bridge loan from several
investors. The money was received following the execution of two promissory
notes for each investor that aggregated $150,000 (Note 1) and $50,000
(Note 2), respectively. Note 1 is payable on the earlier of December 31, 1997
or upon the closing of the next public offering. Note 2 contains the same
terms as with respect to Note 1, or at the investors option is convertible
into shares of Preferred Stock Purchase Warrants (See Notes to the financial
statements for a description on the full terms of the conversion option).
The funds received from the bridge loan were applied to improve working
capital and to reduce accounts payable.
The Company is actively seeking additional public financing to improve its
financial condition and to prepare for an anticipated increase in business
during 1997. The Company anticipates additional backlog releases the
Bonneville Power Administration and other key customers. This should generate
additional sales and resulting cash flow to support an expanded operating
level in fiscal 1997 versus fiscal 1996. In the event that additional
financing is not forthcoming, fiscal 1997 sales would be adversely impacted.
The Company is unable to determine if such financing can be located, and if
so, on terms that will be acceptable by the Company. Inasmuch as the Company
has no available credit lines, it presently meets its cash requirements
through existing cash balances, cash generated from operations, and the
bridge loan.
Management Representation
The information furnished reflects all adjustments which management considers
necessary to a fair statement of the results of the period.
As of January 31, 1996 the Registrant's backlog of orders stands at $3.9
million, a mix of military and commercial telecommunication products. The
company anticipates its commercial shipments to grow as a percentage of
total sales for the foreseeable future.
Statement Regarding Present Operations
There was no material change in the nature of the operations of Registrant
during the three months ended January 31, 1997 from the information contained
in the Registrant's annual report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
July 31, 1996.
