1.  Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the applicable rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three
month period ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 1996.  For
further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes for the
years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, 1993 and May 31, 1993.

    Business operations

   The Company has been in the development stage and, accordingly, has directed
its efforts and resources to product and prototype development and production
planning of its electronic fingerprint identification systems.  The Company
operated as a debtor in possession pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code until September, 1994, at which date a Trustee was appointed. 
On March 31, 1995, a Plan of Reorganization was confirmed and, accordingly, the
Company exited from protection of the Bankruptcy Court and the Company's
Management was transferred to a Board of Directors.


2.  Stock Warrants

In addition to the common shares issued pursuant to the terms of the
reorganization plan, the Company issued three classes of common stock warrants,
Series A, B and C.  The number of warrants issued for the preceding three
months is detailed in the chart below.

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
condensed Financial Statements of the Company and notes thereto annexed hereto.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

   After nearly twenty years of operation and a bankruptcy reorganization, the
Company is still a development stage company and it still has not yet achieved
a sufficient volume of sales to cover the large expenditures required for
product development, production engineering, tooling, equipment, and promotion
and sale of its products.  As a consequence, the Company has continuously
operated at a loss from its inception to the present.  It has been and is
currently dependent on the sale of its securities to fund its operations.

   By filing for relief under the Bankruptcy Law, the Company expected to shed
itself of a substantial portion of the burden of its prior capitalization and,
to a lesser extent, of its general unsecured debt, so as to be able to finance
further development and marketing of its fingerprint identification technology,
which appeared to be much more advanced in many areas than the technology being
used by others.

   During the quarter ended December 31, 1995, the Company received $766,000
from the conversion of its warrants issued under the Bankruptcy Plan.

   Notwithstanding that the Company had as of December 31, 1995 cash in the sum
of $406,000, the Company had on that date a working capital deficiency of
$767,000, which deficiency was due to the portion of the Bankruptcy Obligations
payable within one year.  The monthly costs of the Company for the quarter
ended December 31, 1995 averaged $155,000.  As of April 30, 1996, the Company
had $804,000 in cash in banks or in cash equivalents.  Based upon continuation
of such monthly operating costs, the Company has sufficient capital to continue
for at least seven months from April 30, 1996 assuming that it has no revenues
from sales of its products and services and that it does not raise additional
capital through the sale of its securities.  While the Company is expecting
orders for its Single Print Scanner, at this time, however, it does not have
any orders, nor can it represent that it will obtain orders.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                    CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

   The monthly operating costs do not take into account the remaining payments
which the Company has to make on the bankruptcy obligations.  The remaining
payments owed on the bankruptcy obligations are the sum of $417,000 to SIS,
with $200,000 due October 19, 1996 and $217,000 due April 19, 1997; the sum of
$87,915 to the general unsecured creditors due October 19, 1996.  The Company
has paid on the bankruptcy obligations through April 30, 1996 a total of
$1,766,694, all of its financed from funds raised from the equity lenders and
the private placement.

   In order to finance funding for operations of the Company as well as to pay
for the bankruptcy obligations, the Company may seek such funding through sales
of its securities in private placements exempt from registration under the
Securities Act.  Also refer to footnote 2 to the Condensed Financial
Statements, that discusses the outstanding warrants available for conversion at
December 31, 1995.


Results of Operations 

   During the three months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had no
revenues from sales or service.  During the same period, operating costs
increased $108,000, or 81%, as compared to the corresponding prior year period. 
This is primarily attributable to the Company's increased focus on product
development and production of its initial products.  The main components of
operating expenses are payroll and related employment costs, outside consulting
development costs, and research and development costs.  Said costs aggregated
$186,000 for the 1995 period, as compared with $129,600 for 1994.

   General and administrative expenses decreased $73,000 in the 1995 quarter,
as compared to 1994, or 27%.  The 1994 period included bankruptcy related
professional fees aggregating approximately $138,000, as compared with $68,000
for the 1995 period.  The other components of general and administrative
expenses remained relatively constant, as compared with the prior year.

   Interest expense decreased from $29,500 in 1994 to $22,800, or 23%, in 1995. 
This is the result of the debt repayments made once the Company emerged from
bankruptcy in April, 1995.
