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 nine
month period ended June 30, 1996 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 exercisable  at June 30, 1996 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 nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company received $2,624,700
from the conversion of its warrants issued under the Bankruptcy Plan.

    The Company had as of June 30, 1996 cash in the sum of $632,800 and working
capital of $168,450.  On May 23, 1996, a $250,000 note payable was converted
into 250,000 shares of common stock, thereby increasing working capital
accordingly.  The monthly costs of the Company for the nine months ended June
30, 1996 averaged $188,000.  Based upon continuation of such monthly operating
costs, the Company has sufficient capital to continue for approximately four
months from June 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.  However, pursuant to a private placement
agreement, the Company is scheduled to receive eight monthly $100,000
installments, through February, 1997.  Additionally, the Company is
anticipating that a substantial portion of the outstanding B warrants will be
exercised through January, 1997.

             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
$87,784 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 it financed from funds raised from equity lenders and
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
June 30, 1996.


Results of Operations 

    During the nine months and three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the
Company had no revenues from sales or service.  During the same period,
operating costs increased $416,000 and $201,000, or 110% and 155%,
respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year period.  This is
directly 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 and
development costs, and research and development costs.  Said costs aggregated
$775,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, as compared with $372,000 for
1995.  For the respective three month periods, the amounts were $323,000 and
$126,000.

    General and administrative expenses increased 13% or $95,000 in nine months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to 1995.  This is the result of the change in
the Company's focus in 1996, as compared to 1995.  In 1995, the Company was
still operating as a debtor-in-possession, and, accordingly, was attempting to
finalize its Plan of Reorganization.  In 1996, the main activity was to return
to development and attempting to market the Company's products.  In 1995,
bankruptcy and other professional fees included in general and administrative
expenses totalled $361,000, as compared to $250,000 in 1996.  Offsetting this
$111,000 decrease in expenses were increases aggregating $206,000 for
insurance, stockholder mailing and correspondence, telephone and other office
expenses.

    Interest expense is decreasing as the Company liquidates its interest
bearing obligations.
