NOTE 1 - INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited interim financial  statements  presented herein have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  statements and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X
pertaining to interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted  accounting  principles
for  complete  financial  statements.   The  financial  statements  reflect  all
adjustments,  consisting of normal recurring  adjustments and accruals which, in
the opinion of management,  are considered  necessary for a fair presentation of
financial  position at  September  26, 1997 and results of  operations  and cash
flows for the three months ended  September 26, 1997 and September 27, 1996. The
financial  statements  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  summary  of
significant  accounting policies and notes to consolidated  financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27,
1997.  The results of operations  for the three months ended  September 26, 1997
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year ending June 26, 1998.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Net income (loss) per common and common equivalent share is calculated using the
weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding  and the net  additional
number of shares that would be  issuable  upon the  exercise  of dilutive  stock
options and warrants  assuming  that the Company  used the proceeds  received to
purchase  additional  shares (up to 20% of shares  outstanding) at market value,
retire debt and invest any remaining proceeds in U.S. government securities. The
effect on net income (loss) of these assumed  transactions  is considered in the
computation.  In February 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standard 128 Earnings Per Share (SFAS
128). SFAS 128 modifies the  methodology for calculating  earnings per share and
is effective for periods  ending after  December 15, 1997.  Upon adoption of the
standard,  prior period amounts must be restated.  The Companys  management does
not  expect  SFAS 128 to have a material  effect on the  Companys  earnings  per
share.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Inventories, net of allowances, consisted of the following components:

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

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
foregoing consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $1.5 million (12.2%) to
$13.5 million from $12.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Sales of
Network  Interface  Devices NIDs,  increased by $887,000 due  principally  to an
increase in NID sales to a telephone operating company customer.  Sales of fiber
optic  related  products  increased by $516,000,  primarily due to the continued
acceptance of the LIGHTRAXR  product line. Sales of overvoltage surge protectors
sold  separately  from NIDs  decreased by $140,000  primarily as a result of the
increase in sales of NIDs,  which  incorporate  the Companys  overvoltage  surge
protectors. Included in overvoltage surge protector sales is a $389,000 increase
over the first  quarter of fiscal  1997 in sales of modular  station  protectors
introduced in late fiscal 1995. Sales of station  electronics and other products
increased by $223,000.

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 decreased by $734,000  (23.1%)
to $2.5 million from $3.2  million for the first  quarter of fiscal 1997.  Gross
profit as a percentage  of sales  decreased for the first quarter of fiscal 1998
to 18.1% from 26.4% for the first  quarter of fiscal 1997.  The  Companys  gross
profit margin for the first  quarter of fiscal 1998  continued to be impacted by
additional  material,  labor and overhead costs  associated with the accelerated
production  startup of its broadband NID product line to meet delivery schedules
under recently awarded contracts.  To a lesser extent, the Companys gross margin
was affected by moving costs  relating to relocating  production  processes from
its Puerto Rico  facility to its lower cost  Dominican  Republic  facility.  The
Company expects these activities will be  substantially  completed by the end of
the second  quarter of fiscal 1998 and that volume  deliveries  of its broadband
NIDs under  recently  awarded  contracts  will begin during the second and third
quarters of fiscal 1998.  The Company  anticipates  that the  completion  of its
relocation  program and the  commencement of volume  deliveries of its broadband
NIDs will have a positive  impact on the Companys gross profit margin  beginning
in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses for the first  quarter of fiscal
1998  increased  by $220,000  (13.5%) to $1.9  million from $1.6 million for the
first  quarter of fiscal 1997. As a percentage  of sales,  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses increased slightly for the first quarter of fiscal 1998
to 13.7% from 13.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The increase  resulted
primarily  from  personnel,  promotion and other costs  associated  the Companys
efforts to obtain new sales contracts.

Research and development expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 increased
$32,000  (4.3%) to $776,000  from $744,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
As a  percentage  of sales,  research  and  development  expenses  for the first
quarter  of fiscal  1998  decreased  to 5.7% from 6.2% for the first  quarter of
fiscal 1997. The slight dollar increase  related  primarily to higher  personnel
and other  costs  associated  with  product  development  for  expansion  of the
Companys broadband NID product line.

Interest  expense  for the first  quarter of fiscal  1998  decreased  by $66,000
(55.0%) to $54,000 from $120,000 in the first  quarter of fiscal 1997.  Interest
expense  for the first  quarter of fiscal  1997  included  amortization  of debt
origination costs that ceased during such period.



                                       -7-
<PAGE>



Interest  income  for the first  quarter  of fiscal  1998  decreased  by $49,000
(45.4%) to $59,000  from  $108,000  in the first  quarter  of fiscal  1997.  The
Company's  use of cash and  marketable  securities  since the first  quarter  of
fiscal 1997,  primarily for capital  expenditures,  reduced funds  available for
investment.

As a result of the  foregoing,  the Company  incurred a net loss of $160,000 for
the first  quarter of fiscal 1998  versus net income of  $752,000  for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.  Net loss per share  equaled $0.02 for the first quarter
of fiscal 1998 versus fully  diluted net income per share of $0.10 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Companys cash, cash equivalents and marketable  securities decreased to $3.5
million at the end of the first  quarter of fiscal 1998 from $3.8 million at the
end of fiscal 1997. Working capital decreased to $19.1 million at the end of the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 from $19.7 million at the end of fiscal 1997.

During the first  quarter  of fiscal  1998,  $502,000  of cash was  provided  by
operations.  While the Company had a net loss of $160,000 for the first  quarter
of fiscal 1998,  such loss included  non-cash  charges,  including  $368,000 for
depreciation and amortization.  The remaining cash flow from operations resulted
primarily from an $826,000  decrease in inventories,  which was partially offset
by a decrease in accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities  of $357,000  and an
increase in receivables of $343,000.


During the first quarter of fiscal 1998,  cash of $452,000 was used in investing
activities for capital  expenditures of $1.3 million offset, in part by proceeds
from  sales and  maturities  of  marketable  securities  in  excess  of  amounts
reinvested of $866,000.  Additionally,  during the first quarter of fiscal 1998,
financing activities provided $559,000, with $682,000 realized from the exercise
of stock options and warrants being partially  offset by the payment of $123,000
of long-term debt and obligations under capital lease.

The  Company is a party to a  Revolving  Credit  Loan  Agreement  with The Chase
Manhattan  Bank which,  at  September  26,  1997,  entitled  the Company to have
outstanding  borrowings  of up to  $3.6  million,  declining  by  $400,000  each
calendar quarter  thereafter.  As a result of the net loss for the first quarter
of fiscal 1998,  the Company was not in  compliance  with the debt service ratio
and net income covenants contained in its Revolving Credit Loan Agreement. There
is no loan amount outstanding under the agreement and the Company has received a
waiver with respect to such no-compliance.

Funds anticipated to be generated from operations, together with available cash,
marketable  securities and borrowings  available  under the Company's  Revolving
Credit  Agreement  are  considered  to be  adequate  to  finance  the  Company's
operational and capital needs over at least the next twelve months.  The Company
filed a registration  statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on
October  22,  1997 with  respect to a proposed  underwritten  offering of Common
Stock to raise additional funds to purchase  additional  equipment and leasehold
improvements and for working capital.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On October 30, 1997,  the Company  received a complaint in an action  brought in
the  Superior  Court  of  Bayamon,  Puerto  Rico by a former  employee  alleging
wrongful  termination of his employment and seeking damages of $3.8 million. The
Company  believes the case is without merit and will not have a material adverse
effect on the Companys financial position.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On August 25, 1997, the Company sold 14,500 shares of its Common Stock, $.01 par
value  per  share  (Common  Stock),  to  Strategic  Growth  International,  Inc.
(Strategic  Growth) pursuant to Strategic  Growths partial exercise of an option
to purchase up to 150,000  shares of Common Stock on or before  August 31, 1997.
The remainder of the option  expired  unexercised.  The exercise price was $7.50
per share (an aggregate of $108,750).  No underwriting  discounts or commissions
were paid in connection wth the issuance of the shares.  In connection  with the
