for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB
related to interim period financial statements.  Accordingly, these
financial statements do not include certain information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  However, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring 
accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to
make the financial statements not misleading.  The results of operations
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.  For further information, refer to the
Company's financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1995.

inclusion would not be materially dilutive.









                 Management's Discussion and Analysis of
               Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the six month period ended December 31, 1995, cash
decreased by $85,661.  The decrease included, (i) cash used by operating
activities ($69,671), resulting from a net use of $118,594 for working
capital items which offset cash provided by net income of $12,879 and
non-cash charges of $36,044 for depreciation and amortization, (ii)  
cash used to purchase capital assets ($15,990).

     The Company believes that the cash which it expects to generate from
operations will be sufficient to meet operational needs.

Results of Operations

     Net sales for the six month and three month periods ended 
December 31, 1995 decreased by $118,270 (5.7%), but increased by $59,313
(6.1%), respectively, from the comparable periods of fiscal 1995.
The decrease in sales for the six month period was mainly due to a
reduction in foreign orders and a continuing reduction in sales to the
Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs).  The increase in sales during
the second quarter was attributable to the shipment of new products
which offset a reduction in foreign and RBOC orders. Prices remained
constant.  Sales of telephone test equipment decreased by $217,474
(12.5%) and $68,812 (8.5%) for the six month and three month periods,
respectively, of fiscal 1996 from the same periods of fiscal 1995. These
decreases were attributable to the reduction in sales to RBOC companies
and foreign orders.  Sales of customer premise equipment increased
by $126,480 (72.8%) and $174,581 (310.2%) for the six and three
month periods, respectively,of fiscal 1996 from the same periods of
fiscal 1995. These increases were primarily due to increased shipments of
data products (CSU/DSU).  Sales of spares, repairs and miscellaneous
products decreased by $29,742 (19.2%) for the six month period and 
$46,248 (44.6%) for the three month period of fiscal 1996.

     The Company's gross profit margin, expressed as a percentage of sales,
decreased to 37.6% for the first six months of fiscal 1996 from 38.9% for
the same period of fiscal 1995.  Gross profit for the second quarter improved
to 39.0% in fiscal 1996 from 38.8% in fiscal 1995.  The changes for both
periods relate to the changes in sales for the same period which affect
the ability of the Company to absorb its fixed expenses.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $15,738 (2.8%)
for the six month period and decreased by $14,253 (4.8%) for the three month 
periods, respectively, of fiscal 1996 when compared to the comparable periods
of fiscal 1995. For the six month period the increase was primarily
attributed to increases of sales expense due to the addition of a
Vice President of Sales and Marketing, which offset reductions in royalty
expenses due to the renegotiating of a royalty agreement. The decrease for
the three month period was mainly due to reductions in advertising,
royalties and commissions which offset increases in benefits, travel expenses
and professional fees.

     Research and development expenses increased by $2,785 (1.9%) and
$7,046 (9.3%) for the six and three month periods, respectively, in fiscal
1996 over fiscal 1995 due to decreases in engineering supplies and
hospitalization expenses.

     The provision for income taxes in the fiscal 1995 periods are lower
than the statutory rates as a result of a tax refund credit.
