1. MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all 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.  The results of operations for any interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for the year.  These statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended March
30, 1997.

2. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share for the three months ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996
are computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding
during the periods including common stock equivalents if dilutive.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, "Earnings per Share," which is required to be adopted on March 29, 1998.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded.  There is no impact expected to net loss per
share for the three months periods ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996.

3. INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of:      (Dollars in thousands)

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
         and Results of Operations
         -------------------------


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ----------------------

Net revenues for the three month period ended June 29, 1997 decreased $3,279 or
31% from the comparable period of fiscal 1997.  This decrease was due primarily
to a decline in older generation network integration products which occurred
both domestically and internationally.  The cost of revenues for the three month
period while declining in real dollars, was 38% versus 34% for the comparable
quarter last year.  Product sales had a higher concentration of hardware during
this quarter as compared to the prior year.

Research, development and engineering costs for the period declined $814 over
the expenditure rate of the comparable period last year.  These costs were 23%
of revenues this period as compared to 24% of revenues last year.  This
reduction was as a result of the sale of the MQView product line in January 1997
as well as cost control adjustments that were implemented during the current
quarter.  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,026 less than Qtr
1 in the prior year.  This reduction was as a result of consolidating facilities
expenses and other cost control measures in the first quarter of fiscal year
1998.

Interest income increased due to a higher average cash balance as well as more
favorable interest rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents were $10,210 and $13,865 at June 29, 1997 and March
30, 1997 respectively.  The company currently anticipates making capital
expenditures of approximately $225 during the rest of fiscal year 1998.  These
capital expenditures will relate to research and development, information
systems and software.  The company believes that cash and cash equivalents will
be adequate to meet its anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital
expenditures for the balance of fiscal year 1998.
