    During fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset in
    accordance with FAS No. 109 to recognize a portion of the future income
    tax benefits available.

    The Company has total net operating loss carryforwards available to offset
    future taxable income of $24.6 million expiring at various times from 1999
    to 2008. Due to certain statutory limitations under Internal Revenue Code
    Section 382, only $17.8 million of such carryforwards are available at
    July 1, 1995. The remaining carryforwards of $6.8 million will become
    available ratably over the carryforward period.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues
     For the first quarter ended July 1, 1995 revenues were $1.3 million, an
increase of 64% over the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The increase in
revenues is due to increased demand for the Company's status and performance
monitoring products and the Company's success in expanding its strategic OEM
relationships.

     Backlog at July 3, 1995 totaled $4.7 million compared to $2.3 million at
July 4, 1994. The current backlog reflects a substantial amount of orders from
one major OEM customer.

Cost of Sales
     Cost of sales represented 42.6% of revenues for the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 compared to 41.7% in the comparable prior year quarter. Cost of
sales is dependent on product mix and customer mix, with sales to OEM
customers generally having a lower profit margin.

     During the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company expanded its
manufacturing operations in response to increased business levels including
hiring of additional staff and use of third party board assembly contractors.
Development costs charged to cost of sales were $19,200 and $31,200 for the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. Development revenues
totaled $85,000 and $123,000 for the same periods.

Selling, General and Administrative
     Selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses were $448,000 for
the first quarter of fiscal 1996, up 77% from the $253,000 in the comparable
prior year period. Expenses increased due to increased marketing and sales
efforts including hiring of additional staff and expanded promotional efforts.
Administrative costs increased in response to increased business levels,
including staff additions and the establishment of a quality department.

Research and Development
     Research and development expense was $580,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 1995, an increase of 277% from the $154,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 1995. The increase is due to substantial software and hardware
development costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 including staff
additions and third party contractor costs. The Company has expanded its
software efforts to complete its OmniVu product, the next generation
monitoring software for use in principally all monitor products marketed by
the Company.


<PAGE>

     Previously, software costs incurred by the Company were capitalized under
the requirements of FAS #2. The Company has reviewed its current status of
software development including its OmniVu project and other internal software
efforts and has determined that such current projects do not meet the criteria
for capitalization. Accordingly, the software development costs incurred
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 totaling $262,000 were charged to
research and development expense compared to approximately $60,000 incurred
and capitalized in the first quarter of fiscal 1995. The Company expects that
significant software development efforts will continue through the remainder
of fiscal 1996.

Income Taxes
     During fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a portion of its future
available income tax benefits as a deferred tax asset. The Company recorded
additional income tax benefits in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 based on an
estimated 42% effective tax rate for fiscal 1996.

Industry Factors
     The cable and broadband communications industry is undergoing significant
change as cable television (CATV) operators begin to respond to the
competitive threat of telephone companies (telcos) entering the cable video
services market. This has resulted in CATV operators planning to expand and
upgrade their distribution infrastructures and telcos planning to construct
new distribution systems capable of providing telephone and video services.
There continues to be many unresolved issues and uncertainties impacting this
convergence of CATV and telecommunications industries including governmental
regulations, competing distribution technologies, significant capital costs
and others.

     Demand for the Company's system status and performance monitoring
products has increased as monitoring of newer advanced distribution systems
has become an important factor in increasing the reliability of the services
provided by the service provider. The Company believes it is positioned
favorably to take advantage of opportunities in the evolving "information
superhighway", however, any increased demand for the Company's products
related to this changing environment is currently unknown.

     In addition, the Company's operations are subject to the timing and
success of new product introductions and the scheduling of orders by
customers. Due to the effects of these factors on future operations, past
performance is a limited indicator in assessing potential future performance
and such factors could impact the trading price of the Company's common stock.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
     Cash used in operating activities totaled $1,448,000 during the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to cash generated from operations of $203,000
in the comparable prior year period. The primary use of cash was to fund a
$1.2 million increase in inventory. Inventory increased during the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 in response to current order levels and to enable the
Company to improve manufacturing lead times by purchasing long lead time items
for inventory.


<PAGE>

     During April 1995, warrants to purchase a total of 5,848,470 shares of
common stock were exercised at $.45 per share with cash proceeds totaling
$1,781,009 (of which $351,473 was received in fiscal 1995 and reflected as an
advance pending exercise in April 1995) and an interest bearing $850,803 note
receivable provided by the majority shareholder due, June 30, 1995. The note
receivable was paid on the due date.

     The Company has a $500,000 bank line of credit available for working
capital and other cash needs. The line contains restrictions and covenants and
is limited to a borrowing base formula based on accounts receivable and
available cash.

     The Company believes that its existing sources of liquidity, including
projected cash flows from operations, the significant net operating loss tax
carryforward, the line of credit, and cash provided by the recent warrant
exercise will be sufficient to support its planned operations through fiscal
1996.
