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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SIX MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 VERSUS JUNE 30, 1994

For the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company incurred a net loss of $120
thousand or $0.03 per share as compared to net income of approximately $426
thousand or $0.11 per share for the second quarter of 1994. The second quarter
results, combined with the net loss of $410 thousand or $0.10 per share incurred
in the first quarter of 1995, resulted in a net loss of $530 thousand or $0.13
per share for the six months ended June 30, 1995, as compared to net income of
$284 thousand or $0.07 per share for the comparable six month period in 1994.
The decline in net earnings of $814 thousand for the six months ended June 30,
1995 from 1994 is due primarily to a decline in gross margin percentage to 45.9%
from 47.9%, respectively.  This is primarily a result of eroding margin on sales
of new equipment.

Total net revenue for the second quarter of 1995 decreased $1.0 million or 3.2%
while the first six months of 1995 increased $786 thousand or 1.3% over the
comparable 1994 period.  The increase in the first six months of 1995 occurred
in new equipment sales with a $1.4 million or 2.9% increase over the comparable
1994 period.  Net revenue from new equipment sales accounted for approximately
77.6% and 77.0% of the total revenue for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and 77.9% and 76.7% of the total revenue for the first six months
of 1995 and 1994, respectively.  New equipment sales were represented by
increases in the direct sales and service division and an increase in sales in
the video conferencing product lines and long distance services.  Offsetting
declines were noted in the Company's Canadian repair operations resulting from
the sale of a segment of its business dealing with Caller Identification
products during the second quarter of 1995.  The service revenue decreased $579
thousand or 4.0% in the first six months of 1995 from the comparable 1994 period
with the decrease primarily in the direct sales and service division.  The
decline occurred in both revenue associated with maintenance contracts and time
and material billings due to increased sales volume of higher quality products.
Net revenues from services provided accounted for approximately 22.4% of total
revenue in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to 23.0% of total revenue in
the second quarter of 1994 and 22.1% of total revenue in the first six months of
1995 as compared to 23.3% in the comparable 1994 period.  Revenue from service
transactions is expected to continue to comprise a significant portion of the
Company's overall net revenue in future periods; however, there are no
assurances that the foregoing will occur as the nature of after market service
opportunities is impacted by newer technology products with a higher mean time
before failure.

The gross margin percentage for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995
was 46.1% and 45.9% as compared to 48.0% and 47.9%, respectively, for the same
periods of 1994.  The decline in the gross margin percentage is due to the
change in sales mix with a higher proportion of revenue being generated from new
equipment sales and sales of proprietary products, which carry a lower margin
versus service transactions.  The product mix included in new equipment sales
has shifted to an increase in volume of lower margin products.  New equipment
margins are also lower due to declining sales of the Company's proprietary
design key system as compared to the newer Northern Telecom key system product.
Although new equipment sales carry lower margins, these sales present future
service and software based business to the Company.  The gross margin on new
equipment sales has declined from 44.6% and 45.3% for the

                                      -10-

<PAGE>

quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 to 42.9% for both comparable periods
of 1995.  Gross margin on service revenue has decreased from 59.5% in the second
quarter of 1994 to 57.2% in the second quarter of 1995 primarily due to newer
technology products entering the customer base.  For the six months ended June
30, 1994 and 1995, the gross margin on service revenue was 56.5%.

Another factor that may affect the Company's gross margin percentage in the more
distant future relates to the Company's agreement with NTK America.  Under that
agreement, the Company is provided with the most favorable purchase prices on
NTK America products for the duration of the agreement.  The agreement has been
extended through June 2001, with a five-year option to renew through June 2006.
It is anticipated that if NTK America does not invest in research and
development to advance the technology and improve the cosmetics of the products,
the marketability of these products will decline.  Although the Company has
agreed to provide an incentive to NTK America to invest in such research and
development, the Company cannot guarantee that NTK America will perform future
development on these products.  Therefore, the Company cannot estimate the
impact of the foregoing on future gross margin at this time.

Operating expenses in the second quarter of 1995 decreased $122 thousand (0.8%)
and in the first six months of 1995 increased $213 thousand (0.7%) over the
comparable 1994 periods.  This reflects the costs associated with the Company's
restructuring of field operations and the exploration of strategic alternatives
to add shareholder value.  Operating expenses as a percent of sales were 47.6%
and 47.5%, respectively, in the second quarter of 1995 and the first six months
of 1995 as compared to 46.5% and 47.8% in the comparable periods of 1994.  The
Company is continuing to monitor operating expenses and will seek to continue to
control costs in future periods.  It is not expected that operating expenses
will increase significantly in the future without a corresponding significant
increase in revenue.

Nonoperating income (expense) increased $63 thousand and $17 thousand  in the
second quarter and the first six months of 1995, respectively, as compared to
the same periods of 1994.  These increases for the six months of 1995 are
represented by: (a)  an unfavorable decrease in net interest income (expense) of
$159 thousand resulting from $87 thousand lower interest income due to declining
cash balances in 1995 and an increase in interest expense of  $72 thousand from
the debt borrowings in 1995 discussed below, and (b) an increase in other
income, net of  $176 thousand.  Other income, net is substantially comprised of
royalty income of $821 thousand and $802 thousand for the first six months of
1995 and 1994, respectively, primarily from NTK America for its sale of
equipment designed by the Company.

The Company continues to focus its efforts on maintaining its existing customer
base through providing higher margin software based products and network
services and implementation of training and marketing programs related to its
strategic business direction.

INFLATION

Inflation has had a relatively minor impact on the Company as the rate of
inflation has declined in recent reporting periods.  If operating expenses
increase, then the Company, to the extent permitted by competition, may attempt
to recover these increased costs by increasing sales prices to customers.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1995 totalled $212 thousand, a decrease of
$675 thousand from December 31, 1994.  For the first six months of 1995, the
Company used approximately $2.3 million of

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

cash for operating activities primarily from reduction of accounts payable.
Additionally, the Company used approximately $1.1 million for payment of the
long-term tax liability, $571 thousand for net capital expenditures  and $255
thousand to expand its service network.  The Company's Canadian subsidiary sold
a segment of its business during the second quarter 1995 for approximately $1.7
million.  The Company borrowed $1.7 million during the first six months of 1995
under its revolving line of credit as discussed below.

The Company has a $7,000,000 line of credit with Marmon Holdings, Inc. which
expires December 31, 1996.  The indebtedness under the line of credit is secured
by substantially all of the Company's assets and has been guaranteed by the
principal subsidiaries of the Company.

The Company believes sufficient cash resources exist to support its needs
through currently available cash, cash expected to be generated from future
operations, or from the line of credit previously mentioned.  The Company can
borrow against this line of credit if needed, assuming no breach of any of the
covenants (which include restrictions on asset purchases and require specified
levels of working capital and net worth to be maintained) and that the aggregate
principal amount outstanding at any time under the credit agreement does not
exceed the "Borrowing Base" (which is based on inventory and receivables) set
forth in the credit agreement.  The Company was in compliance with or had
received a waiver of the covenants as of June 30, 1995 and, therefore, was
qualified to borrow the entire $7,000,000 available under the line.  The Company
borrowed under this line of credit during the first six months of 1995 and $1.7
million of borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 1995.

At June 30, 1995 the Company did not have any material commitments for capital
expenditures.
