                           PAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

                                     PART I

Item 1:  Business

         PAR Technology  Corporation  ("PAR" or the "Company"),  incorporated in
1968,  designs,   develops,   manufactures,   markets,  installs,  and  services
microprocessor-based  transaction  processing  systems  for the  restaurant  and
industrial  market-places,  Corneal  Topography  systems for  measuring the true
topography  of the eye and vision  inspection  systems  for the  food-processing
industry  (Commercial  Segment).  The Company is also  engaged in the design and
implementation  of  advanced-technology   computer  software  systems,  for  the
Department of Defense and other Government  agencies  (Government  Segment).  In
addition,   the  Government  Segment  provides   specialized   services  to  the
Government,  including the operation and  maintenance of  Government-owned  test
sites and the planning,  execution,  and evaluation of experiments involving new
or   advanced   radar   systems,   electronic   countermeasures   systems,   and
communications systems.

         Information  concerning the Company's  industry  segments for the three
years  ended  December  31,  1995 is set  forth  in Note 11 to the  Consolidated
Financial Statements included elsewhere herein.

         The Company's principal executive offices are located at PAR Technology
Park, 8383 Seneca Turnpike, New Hartford, New York 13413-4991,  telephone number
(315)  738-0600.  Unless  the  context  otherwise  requires,  the term  "PAR" or
"Company" as used herein means PAR Technology  Corporation and its  wholly-owned
subsidiaries.

                               Commercial Segment

         PAR, through its wholly-owned  subsidiary PAR Microsystems  Corporation
(PMC), designs, develops, manufactures,  markets, installs, and provides systems
integration services for  microprocessor-based  transaction  processing systems.
The  Company's  current  products  include   Point-of-Sale  (POS)  hardware  and
state-of-the-art   software  tailored  for  individual  restaurant  chains,  and
Industrial  Transaction  Processing  Systems (ITPS) for the Computer  Integrated
Manufacturing (CIM) market-place.  The Company's  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  PAR
Vision Systems Corporation has developed a Corneal Topography System (CTS) which
maps the surface of the cornea of the human eye.  Additionally,  the Company has
developed and is marketing an automatic vision inspection system called Qscan(R)
for the  food-processing  industry.  This system  utilizes a  specialized  image
processing technique to detect contaminants in filled containers.

Products

         PAR has evolved  from a company that  designs  individual  POS hardware
components and POS software applications to solve specific customer requirements
to one that designs  broad-based,  flexible POS system architectures that can be
rapidly  adapted to satisfy a customer's  ever-changing  needs.  This philosophy
results from the recognition that the management information requirements of the
restaurant industry are complex and rarely identical from one chain to the next.
<PAGE>
         The POS  systems  that  PAR  provides  consist  of  individual  modules
designed as "stand-alone"  members of a distributed  processing  network.  These
modules are intended to provide various and specific  functions and yet, because
they were designed as components of a  standardized  system  architecture,  work
together to gather,  process,  communicate,  and share the tremendous  volume of
data generated and needed by today's  restaurant  businesses.  For example,  POS
terminals  are  used by  restaurant  personnel  for  order-entry  purposes.  The
terminal  computes the order total based on the items  ordered by the  customer,
processes any applicable coupons or discounts,  calculates the tax, and displays
the amount of change due the customer. In the kitchen, the terminal displays the
menu items for use by restaurant  personnel in the  preparation  and assembly of
the order. This information appears on the built-in display or, because the unit
is a member of a distributed processing network,  appears on remote displays for
simultaneous use by multiple  persons.  Additionally,  each operator  key-stroke
occurring  throughout  the  transaction  is recorded  and is  available to other
processors in the system for cash, marketing,  or inventory analyses.  All three
uses occur automatically and simultaneously without operator intervention.

         The POS  components  are  located  in the  customer's  store and may be
interconnected  to remote  sites  such as  regional  or central  offices.  These
components   include  POS  terminals,   printers,   video   displays,   employee
time/attendance   recorders,   personal   computers  and  associated   software.
Remote-site  components  consist of personal  and  midrange  computers,  modems,
printers,   and  associated  business  processing  and  network   communications
software. The Company sells, rather than leases, virtually all components of its
systems.

         Systems  Integration  is becoming more  important to the Restaurant POS
business.  Customers  require  expertise  in systems  architecture  and  systems
engineering to utilize the  technology  and PAR provides this  capability in the
restaurant business.

         PAR's ITPS business unit provides  hardware,  enabling and applications
software, and system integration services to the industrial marketplace. Systems
integration software and services, as well as application software, are provided
to  end-users  directly  by PAR  and  through  qualified  distributors.  Systems
integration  products  include  installation and training  services,  as well as
custom  modifications for specific customers and customer groups. In an on-going
program to provide  multi-vendor system integration  solutions to its customers,
PAR has entered several strategic alliances.  PAR provides hardware and software
products  to  IBM  for   marketing  to  the   industrial   Computer   Integrated
Manufacturing  market,  where they are used for data  collection  on the factory
floor.  PAR also has on-going  strategic  partnership  with Telxon through which
both Companies distribute a co-logoed PAR/Telxon  hardware/software  solution to
retail,  wholesale  distribution,  transportation,  and health-care markets. PAR
also has strategic  alliances  with Intermec  Corp.,  a leading data  collection
equipment supplier and Ernst & Young LLP, a leading international services firm.
<PAGE>
         The Company's ITPS products  include  Transaction  Processing  System/2
(TPS/2) software enabler which provides generic  client/server  data collection.
With TPS/2's distributed processing  environment,  users can control all aspects
of data collection from a central location, including large, multi-site systems.
TPS/2  provides  central and remote  control of numerous types of devices across
many communication  protocols.  Data Collection devices include PAR manufactured
IBM fixed base  terminals,  Telxon and  Intermec  portable  terminals  and PC's.
TPS/2's  open-system  architecture also makes possible  concurrent  connectivity
with multiple host  computers,  including IBM,  Hewlett-Packard,  and DEC. While
TPS/2  can  be  used  to  create  or  integrate  complex  transaction-processing
environments,  it offers simplified system use and operation.  TPS/2 also offers
greater system speed than previous data collection systems.

         TPS/2  provides a flexible and highly  functional  platform for on-line
transaction  processing  applications  such as time  and  attendance,  inventory
control,  warehousing,  job status,  scheduling and quality control. Data can be
directly  read from and  written  to host  databases,  as well as  forwarded  to
managers,  who can respond quickly to production  deviations  based on real-time
information.

         Another PAR data collection product is CIMport, a series of application
software products used with Telxon portable hand-held  terminals to collect data
without fixed-wire attachment. With CIMport,  radio-frequency (RF) and store and
forward  portable  terminals can be used in data  collection  environments  that
previously  did not support this  capability.  PAR also  provides  factory-floor
application software.  CIMprint is a bar code document printing software package
that is ideal for demanding client/server environments.  The product is used for
printing tags, labels,  employee badges and other documents with any combination
of text, bar code,  graphic images,  and optical  character reading (OCR) fonts.
Moreover, CIMprint is fully integrated into the TPS/2 platform.

         With high technology  applications  continually being developed through
its Government  contract  business,  PAR works toward  developing new commercial
applications.   For  example,   using  computerized   digital  image  processing
techniques  originally  developed  for the defense  industry,  PAR developed two
innovative  products  for  commercial   industry--a  Corneal  Topography  System
(CTS(TM)) and an automatic vision inspection system, Qscan(R).

         PAR's CTS  provides the  ophthalmic  surgeon and  optometrist  with the
ability  to measure  the true  topography  of the cornea in terms of  elevation.
PAR's  technology,  unlike  its  competitors,  can be used  both  in an  office,
clinical setting as well as in an operating room,  surgical  environment.  PAR's
CTS is fully  compatible  with the excimer laser and can be used for therapeutic
and refractive procedures.

         Qscan(R)  is  the  first  system  fully  designed  for  use  on a  food
processor's  production line. The system detects and rejects small  contaminants
such as pits, shards of glass, or slivers of metal in opaque,  filled and capped
food containers.  Certain  containers can be examined on-line at high speeds--up
to 1,100 per minute.  This allows 100%  inspection of all containers  during the
flow of production.
<PAGE>
Installation and Training

         In the U.S., Canada, Europe, South Africa,  Australia and Asia, PAR POS
personnel provide installation and training services, on a fixed-fee basis, as a
normal  part of the  equipment  purchase  agreement.  In certain  areas of North
America,  Europe and Asia, the Company  provides  these  services  through third
parties.

Maintenance and Service

         PAR  services  its POS  equipment  through a  combination  of telephone
diagnostic support,  factory maintenance,  on-site, depot, and spare unit rental
service.  Equipment  requiring  factory  maintenance  service  is shipped in the
Company's specially designed containers from the customer's store to the service
center at the Company's  headquarters in New Hartford, NY, or to service centers
in Canada,  Europe,  South Africa,  Australia and Asia. The Company  repairs and
tests the equipment,  generally  charging a  predetermined,  fixed fee to repair
each module  regardless  of the nature of the  malfunction.  The Company  offers
optional on-site maintenance services through its own field service organization
or through third parties for PAR's restaurant and convenience store equipment in
certain areas of the United States and Europe.

         The Company maintains a central customer support and diagnostic service
that  permits  customers  to discuss  problems on the  telephone  with a Company
representative.  Test polling of customer-owned data communications equipment is
also provided by the central support  service.  Approximately  four out of every
five  customer-perceived  problems  are  solved  over  the  telephone,   thereby
eliminating  unnecessary  module returns and field-service  visits and providing
the most cost-effective maintenance offering possible.

         During 1995, PAR was awarded a service  integration  contract with Taco
Bell.  Under this  contract the Company  services  all POS systems,  back office
systems and provides Help Desk and On-Site support activities.

Marketing

 POS
 ---
         The  Company's  POS  marketing  efforts  highlight  its total  solution
offering including  hardware,  software,  systems integration and service from a
customer initial  installation to replacement  systems.  The Company directs its
marketing  efforts to customers in the top one hundred  fast-food  restaurant as
described in Nations Restaurant News. The account management  marketing strategy
is to establish  joint  development  programs with the leading  chains,  thereby
gaining expertise in the appropriate  hardware and application software needs of
a particular chain's  operation.  The Company has found that various segments of
the food service industry have several common elements and goals;  however, they
may  differ as to  software  application  needs.  The open  architecture  of the
Company's  systems,  as dictated by such a  marketing  strategy,  enables PAR to
perform customization in a cost-effective and timely manner.

         During 1994, PAR began the organization of a world-wide dealer channel.
This capability will allow POS access to concepts outside the top 100 restaurant
chains.  Small operators will have access to more sophisticated  technology that
has been available to the major chains for over 15 years.
<PAGE>
ITPS
- ----
         PAR's  marketing  approach for its ITPS  products is to provide a total
solution to customers'  data collection and transaction  processing  needs.  PAR
closely  tailors  its  comprehensive  range  of  factory-floor  data  collection
enablers and applications to the requirements of the industrial sector.

           For  CTS,  the  Company  has  its  own  direct  sales   channels,   a
distribution  network of independent  ophthalmic  sales  representatives  and an
international  dealer  network.  For  its  Qscan(R)  product,  the  Company  has
established worldwide distribution through an industrial  representative network
in addition to its own direct sales  channels.  Both domestic and  international
customer  prospects in the baby food market are being pursued,  as well as other
food-processing market segment customers.

Competition

         The Company faces competition with respect to its POS products. Some of
the Company's  competitors  are, or are controlled by, companies that are larger
and  have  substantially   greater  resources.   Principal  competitors  include
Panasonic,  IBM, NCR and  Olivetti.  Most major  restaurant  chains  maintain an
"approved vendor" list for POS equipment,  designating those companies that have
been approved to sell their equipment to both corporate and franchised stores of
that chain.  These  chains  tend to limit  approved  vendors to a small  number,
usually one or two sources,  due to the time and expense of qualifying  approved
vendors.  Corporate-owned  stores will normally buy only approved POS equipment.
PAR is an approved  vendor for  McDonald's,  Taco Bell,  Kentucky  Fried Chicken
International,  Chick-fil-A  and sells to many other major  chains.  The Company
believes  its  success  in  obtaining  "approved  vendor  status"  is due to the
establishment  of a  solid  foundation  of  expertise  in the  industry  and its
willingness  to  tailor  systems  to  meet  the  specific  needs  of each of its
customers.

Backlog

         At December 31, 1995, the Company's  backlog of unfilled orders for the
Commercial segment was approximately  $20,600,000 compared to $17,200,000 a year
ago. Most of the present  orders will be delivered in 1996.  Commercial  segment
orders are  generally of a short term nature and are usually  booked and shipped
in the same fiscal year.

Research and Development

         The highly technical nature of the Company's restaurant POS, Industrial
Transaction   Processing,   and  Vision  products  requires  a  significant  and
continuous  research and development effort.  Research and development  expenses
for new and existing products were approximately  $5,331,000 in 1995, $5,009,000
in 1994  and  $4,239,000  in  1993.  See  Note 1 to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements  included  elsewhere  herein for discussion on Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed.
<PAGE>
Manufacturing and Suppliers

         The Company  assembles its products from standard  components,  such as
integrated circuits,  and fabricated parts such as printed circuit boards, metal
parts and castings,  most of which are  manufactured  by others to the Company's
specifications.  The  Company  depends on outside  suppliers  for the  continued
availability  of its  components  and parts.  Although  most items are generally
available from a number of different  suppliers,  the Company  purchases certain
components  from only one  supplier.  Items  purchased  from  only one  supplier
include certain  printers,  base castings and electronic  components.  If such a
supplier  should cease to supply an item, the Company  believes that new sources
could be found to provide the components.  However, added cost and manufacturing
delays  could  result and  adversely  affect the  business of the  Company.  The
Company has not experienced  significant  delays of this nature in the past, but
there can be no assurance  that delays in delivery due to supply  shortages will
not occur in the future.

                               Government Segment

         PAR  has  two  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  in the  government  business
segment, PAR Government Systems Corporation (PGSC) and Rome Research Corporation
(RRC).  These  companies  provide  federal and state  government  organizations,
including the DoD, with a wide range of technical products and services. PGSC is
involved with the design,  development and  implementation  of  state-of-the-art
data  processing  systems,  and  with  advanced  research  and  development  for
high-technology   projects.   RRC  provides   engineering   services,   software
development/testing, and operation & maintenance for government facilities.  The
Company's  products cover the entire  development cycle for Government  systems:
requirements  analysis,  design  specification,   development,   implementation,
installation,  test and  evaluation.  The  Company  also  develops  and  markets
off-the-shelf software products for both DoD and commercial use.

PAR Government Systems Corporation

         PGSC  is  organized  into  three  business  sectors:   Image  &  Signal
Processing,  Telecommunications, and Special Programs. Its headquarters and data
processing  technology center is in New Hartford, NY and its Center for advanced
sensor  processing is located in La Jolla, CA, the San Diego Technology  Center.
PGSC has a Joint  Surveillance  Target Attack System  (J-STARS)  project  office
located in  Melbourne,  FL to support the  Northrop  Grumman  Corporation.  PGSC
currently  conducts  about 80% of its business with the DoD and with major prime
contractors.

         PGSC has designed and implemented  advanced  software systems that have
often  become key  components  for the later  development  of large DoD systems.
PGSC's strategy has been to identify the Government's  data processing needs and
to provide  special--sometimes  unique--solutions  for either the  Government or
prime  contractors.   PGSC  is  currently   involved  in  radar,   infrared  and
electro-optical  sensor data handling,  design of algorithms for highly accurate
real-time  tracking,  sensor systems design and evaluation,  massively  parallel
processing, geographic information systems, image processing, environmental data
monitoring,  command and control,  mission  planning,  and asset tracking & data
management.   Additionally,  new  environmental  monitoring  business  is  being
conducted for state agencies in New York and Pennsylvania.
<PAGE>
Image & Signal Processing

         This business  sector deals with the collection and analysis of complex
and massive sensor data. PGSC is a leader in developing and implementing  target
detection and tracking  algorithms for both radar and infrared  sensor  systems.
Since  1986,  PGSC  has been a key  contributor  to the  full-scale  engineering
development for J-STARS,  providing algorithm  development and data handling for
both  moving  target   indicator  (MTI)  and  synthetic   aperture  radar  (SAR)
technologies that detect, track and target moving enemy vehicles.

         PGSC scientists  have also developed  sensor concepts and algorithms to
address  the  difficult  problem  of  detecting   low-contrast  targets  against
cluttered background (e.g., finding a cruise missile or fighter aircraft against
a terrain  background).  Technical  approaches  developed for radar and infrared
sensors have been applied to other research and operational sensor systems.

Telecommunications

         The  Telecommunications  business  sector  addresses  the  movement  of
massive  data  sets,  and the  adaptation  of data to meet user needs for system
control,  mission planning,  and decision support.  U.S. Government agencies use
PGSC's software to rapidly  convert images to digital maps; to store,  edit, and
retrieve  such  maps;   and  to  extract   features  from  digital  data  bases.
Applications of these geographical information systems (GIS) are also addressing
the needs of state and local government groups.

         An  environmental  measurement  and  data  management  system  has been
implemented for the National  Institute for  Environmental  Renewal (NIER) which
integrates field sensors, GIS systems, image processing, contaminant monitoring,
risk assessment,  and site modeling. This environmental data system will address
a wide spectrum of applications,  including:  air and water quality  monitoring,
detection and monitoring of soil and  underground  contaminants,  waste disposal
facility siting, and emergency response.

         PGSC's asset  management line of business  provides command and control
for a user's assets,  utilizing  small  electronic tags on assets and cargoes to
communicate  information on an asset's location and state. Under a contract with
the U.S.  Department of Transportation  and the NIER, PGSC is providing a system
that will monitor and track hazardous  material (HAZMAT) cargoes in Northeastern
Pennsylvania. Data are collected and analyzed at a command center and reports on
cargo  status  are  sent  electronically  to  all  parties  involved,  including
responders to emergencies in the case of HAZMAT accidents or mishaps.

Special Programs

         PGSC provides special data handling and system interoperability for key
Government  customers.  PAR's operation of the Image  Exploitation 2000 facility
for the Air Force's Rome  Laboratory has assisted with the  introduction of many
new data handling concepts,  including imagery  dissemination using compact disc
technology.  Image processing and mission planning are conducted to support many
DoD military exercises and training programs.

Rome Research Corporation

         RRC primarily provides professional and engineering services to operate
and maintain  DoD  laboratories,  ranges,  and related  facilities  owned by the
Government.  At these  sites,  Company  personnel  plan,  execute,  and evaluate
experiments involving new or advanced radar systems, electronic counter-measures
systems  and  communications  systems,  and  operate  training  and  operational
communications  equipment.  RRC also provides software engineers that specialize
in software  testing  and  validation.  It has  developed  a  relationship  with
Northrop Grumman Corporation to support the testing of operational  software for
the J-STARS project.

Test Laboratory and Range Operations

         RRC provides  management,  engineering,  and technical  services  under
several  contracts with the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy. These services are
used to plan and  execute  tests and to evaluate  results at several  government
test ranges and  laboratories  that the Company  operates  and  maintains.  Test
activities  encompass  components,  specific  equipment,  and systems related to
radar,  communications,   electronic  countermeasures,   and  integrated  weapon
systems.

         The  Company  also  develops  complex  measurement  systems  in several
defense-related  areas of technology.  These systems are computer-based and have
led  to the  development  by RRC of a  significant  software  capability,  which
provides the basis for competing in new markets.

Software Test and Validation

         RRC continues to support to the Northrop Grumman J-STARS program.  This
effort  has  provided  RRC with a vehicle  to expand  its  business  base into a
different  segment of the defense  industry.  The J-STARS  effort is RRC's first
venture into the software  verification and validation arena, with RRC engineers
embedded in the Northrop Grumman test  organization for formal  qualification of
the entire J-STARS  software suite.  RRC  participates in all phases of the test
process, from initial analysis to formal government  acceptance.  The ability to
provide a wide range of software  technology is particularly  important during a
period when almost all  engineering  efforts require the application of software
and hardware in support of the task.

Operations and Maintenance

         RRC  provides  operations  and  maintenance  services in support of two
other business areas. The first involves support to the U.S. Navy-Marine and Air
Force  training  system known as the Tactical  Aircrew Combat  Training  Systems
(TACTS) by the Sea Service and the Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI)
systems by the Air Force. There are RRC personnel  operating these activities in
Taiwan and Egypt.  The second new area  consists of support to several U.S. Navy
communications and space  surveillance  sites. The five space surveillance sites
are located across the southern United States and the  communication  station in
California.
<PAGE>
Mentor-Protege Program

         During 1992,  the Company  began  participation  in the  Mentor-Protege
Program sponsored by the Department of Defense. The purpose of the program is to
have an established company, such as PAR, assist a Small Disadvantaged  Business
to  become  a  successful  enterprise.  Phoenix  Systems  and  Technology,  Inc.
(Phoenix), is a build-to-print  manufacturer of various military sub-systems. In
1992, it had revenues of $2.5 million. Under the Mentor-Protege Program, PAR has
assisted  Phoenix  to  broaden  its  manufacturing   business  and  expand  into
engineering  services which has  contributed to Phoenix's  growth in revenues to
$5.3 million in 1995. In 1995,  with RRC's  assistance,  Phoenix bid and won the
program to support a Minimum Essential Airfield at the former Griffiss Air Force
Base.  This contract with the New York Air National Guard spans up to five years
and is valued at $19.3 million.  In 1992, PAR acquired a 10% equity  interest in
Phoenix which was increased to 44% in January, 1993.

Government Contracts

         PGSC  and  RRC  perform  work  for  U.S.   Government   agencies  under
fixed-price,  cost-plus fixed fee,  time-and-material,  and incentive-type prime
contracts and subcontracts. Most of its contracts are for one-year to three-year
terms. The Company also has been awarded Task Order/Support contracts.

         There are several  risks  associated  with  Government  contracts.  For
example,  contracts may be terminated for the  convenience of the Government any
time  the  Government  believes  that  such  termination  would  be in its  best
interests. Under contracts terminated for the convenience of the Government, the
Company is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general,
a proportionate share of its fee or profit for the work actually performed.

         The  Company's  business  with the U.S.  Government  is also subject to
other risks unique to the defense industry, such as reduction,  modification, or
delays of contracts or subcontracts if the Government's  requirements,  budgets,
or policies or  regulations  change.  The Company may also perform work prior to
formal  authorization  or to adjustment of the contract price for increased work
scope, change orders, and other funding adjustments.

         Additionally,  the books and  records of the Company are audited by the
Defense  Contract  Audit  Agency on a regular  basis.  Such audits can result in
adjustments to contract costs and fees.  Audits have been completed  through the
Company's fiscal year 1992 and have not resulted in any material adjustments.
<PAGE>
Marketing and Competition

         The  Company's  marketing  activities  in  the  Government  sector  are
conducted  primarily  by  senior-  and  middle-management  and  technical  staff
members.  Marketing begins with collecting information from a variety of sources
concerning  the  present and future  requirements  of the  Government  and other
potential  customers  for the  types  of  technical  expertise  provided  by the
Company. A proven approach is for the Company to enter into teaming arrangements
with other contractors. Teaming arrangements allow the contractors to complement
the  unique  capabilities  of each  other and to offer the  Government  the best
combination  of  capabilities  to achieve the  performance,  cost,  and delivery
schedule  desired for the system being  procured.  Structuring the right teaming
arrangement can significantly enhance a contractor's  competitive position. Some
of the contractors that the Company has previously, or is presently, teamed with
are Hughes Aircraft, Harris, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman Corporation, GTE,
and TASC.

         Although the Company believes it is positioned well in its chosen areas
of image and signal  processing,  telecommunications  and engineering  services,
competition  for  Government  contracts  is  intense.   Many  of  the  Company's
competitors are, or are controlled by, companies such as Lockheed-Martin,  SAIC,
TRW and  Bendix  that  are  larger  and  have  substantially  greater  financial
resources.  The Company also  competes with many smaller  companies  that target
particular segments of the Government market. Typically, seven or more companies
will compete for each contract and, as previously discussed,  PAR sometimes bids
as part of a team with  other  companies.  Contracts  are  obtained  principally
through  competitive  proposals in response to requests for bids from Government
agencies and prime  contractors.  The  principal  competitive  factors are prior
experience,  the  ability to perform,  price,  technological  capabilities,  and
service.  In addition,  the Company  sometimes  obtains  contracts by submitting
unsolicited proposals.

Backlog

         The dollar value of existing Government contracts at December 31, 1995,
net of  amounts  relating  to work  performed  to that date,  was  approximately
$32,088,000,  of  which  $7,568,000  was  funded.  At  December  31,  1994,  the
comparable amount was approximately $22,774,000, of which $9,673,000 was funded.
Funded represents  amounts  committed under contract by Government  agencies and
prime  contractors.  The  December  31,  1995  Government  contract  backlog  of
$32,088,000  represents firm, existing contracts.  Approximately  $15,430,000 of
this amount will be completed in calendar year 1996 as funding is committed.

                                    Employees

         As of December 31, 1995, the Company had 822  employees,  approximately
65% of whom are  engaged in the  Company's  Commercial  segment,  28% are in the
Government segment, and the remainder are corporate employees.

         Due to the  highly  technical  nature of the  Company's  business,  the
Company's future can be  significantly  influenced by its ability to attract and
retain its technical staff. The Company believes that it will be able to fulfill
its near-term needs for technical staff.

         None of the Company's  employees  are covered by collective  bargaining
agreements. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

Item 7: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

       The  following   discussion  and  analysis   highlights  items  having  a
significant effect on operations during the three-year period ended December 31,
1995. It may not be indicative  of future  operations or earnings.  It should be
read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto
and other  financial and  statistical  information  appearing  elsewhere in this
report.

Results of Operations -- 1995 Compared to 1994

       PAR Technology  Corporation  reported  earnings per share of $.58 for the
year ended  December  31,  1995,  an  increase  of 26.1% from the $.46 per share
recorded for the year ended  December 31, 1994.  Net income  increased  27.2% to
$4.7 million in 1995  compared to $3.7 million for 1994.  Revenues for 1995 were
$107.4 million versus $94.5 million for 1994, an increase of 13.6%.

       Net product sales of the Commercial  segment were $58.3 million for 1995,
a 10.1%  increase from the $53 million  recorded in 1994.  Most of this increase
occurred in the fourth quarter of 1995.  This was primarily due to the Company's
continued successful  partnership with Taco Bell. In the fourth quarter of 1995,
the Company  received a $23 million order from Taco Bell for POS  products.  The
Company began delivery of this order in 1995, with the majority to be shipped in
1996.  The  increase is also due to new  contract  awards  from the  Chick-fil-A
restaurant chain.  Product sales also increased in 1995 due to the growth in the
Company's Industrial Transaction  Processing (ITPS) business.  This business won
several new contracts in 1995 and grew 34% over 1994. Partially offsetting these
increases was a decline in sales to Kentucky Fried Chicken  International due to
a greater  number of new store openings and  replacement  orders in 1994 than in
1995.

       Customer  service revenues of the Commercial  segment  increased 20.3% to
$25.1 million in 1995 compared to $20.8 million for 1994.  The growth in service
revenue was primarily related to higher installation  revenue as a result of the
increase in product sales discussed above. Additionally, in the third quarter of
1995 the  Company  was awarded a service  integration  contract  with Taco Bell.
Under this  agreement,  the  Company is  responsible  for  servicing  of all POS
systems, back office systems and Help Desk and On-Site Support activities.  This
contract  is expected to  generate  revenues in the  aggregate  of more than $24
million  over three  years.  Certain  product  enhancement  programs for various
customers also contributed to this increase in 1995.

       Contract revenues of the Government segment were $24 million for 1995, an
increase of 15.8% from the $20.7 million  reported in 1994.  The Company's  site
maintenance and testing  activities and its software  development  business both
contributed  to this  increase.  The Company was awarded new site  contracts and
expanded the scope of other existing  contracts during 1995.  Additionally,  the
Company's  software  development  business  continues  to  expand  its  work  in
environmental systems.

       As previously  announced,  the Company's Rome Research  Corporation (RRC)
was awarded a $10 million, five-year contract as the prime subcontractor for the
Griffiss  Minimum  Essential  Airfield  Contract  awarded to Phoenix Systems and
Technologies,  Inc. (Phoenix). Under this contract, Phoenix and RRC will provide
engineering services to Griffiss Air Force Base. The Company owns a 44% interest
in Phoenix.  See Note 9 to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for further
discussion.
<PAGE>
       Gross  margin on net product  sales of the  Commercial  segment was 41.6%
compared  to  38.6% in 1994.  POS  margins  improved  primarily  due to  certain
customer discounts earned in 1994 that did not recur in 1995. Additionally,  the
Company was able to achieve certain product cost reductions in 1995.

       Gross margin on service  revenues of the  Commercial  segment were 17% in
1995 versus 16.9% in 1994.  Margins benefited from increased  revenues including
revenue from certain product enhancement  programs.  However, this was offset by
start-up  costs  related  to the  service  integration  contract  with Taco Bell
discussed above.

       Gross margin on contract  revenues of the Government  segment was 6.4% in
1995 compared to 4.8% in 1994. This margin  improvement was the result of higher
award fees earned on certain contracts due to high performance  ratings and to a
favorable contract mix.

       Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses of the Commercial segment
were $17.7 million in 1995, an increase of 24.7% from the $14.2 million recorded
in 1994.  This  increase is  primarily  due to the  expansion  of the  Company's
worldwide POS sales force,  growth in the ITPS sales force and  increased  sales
and promotional  activities  related to the Company's Vision  businesses.  Also,
1995  expenses  included  $1.1 million for  allowances  related to the Company's
investment  in and  receivable  from  Phoenix.  See  Note 9 to the  Consolidated
Financial Statements for further discussion.

       Research and  development  expenses of the  Commercial  segment were $5.3
million in 1995,  an increase  of 6.4% from the $5 million  reported a year ago.
The Company is continuing its investment in POS hardware and software  products.
Additionally,  the Company continues to improve the technological performance of
its Vision products in order to achieve increased sales and improved margins.

         The Company's effective tax rate was 33.6% in 1995 compared to 36.3% in
1994. The lower rate is primarily due to the  utilization of Foreign Tax credits
in 1995.

Results of Operations -- 1994 Compared to 1993

       PAR Technology  Corporation  reported  earnings per share of $.46 for the
year ended  December  31,  1994,  an  increase  of 43.7% from the $.32 per share
recorded for the year ended  December 31, 1993.  Net income  increased  44.8% to
$3.7 million in 1994  compared to $2.5 million for 1993.  Revenues for 1994 were
$94.5 million versus $81.2 million for 1993, an increase of 16.3%.

       Net product sales of the Commercial  segment were $53 million for 1994, a
20.8% increase from the $43.8 million recorded in 1993. This increase was due to
the ongoing  success with sales to Taco Bell of the Company's  third  generation
Point-of-Sale  system (POS III). Another major factor was sales of the Company's
POS II products to McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and other fast food chains
in both domestic and  international  markets.  During 1994, the Company received
follow on purchase  orders from Taco Bell  totalling $20 million.  The Company's
system  integration  work related to its ITPS business also  contributed  to the
increase.

       Customer  service  revenues of the Commercial  segment  increased 8.4% to
$20.8 million in 1994 compared to $19.2 million for 1993.  The growth in service
revenue was primarily related to higher installation  revenue as a result of the
increase in product sales discussed above.
<PAGE>
       Contract revenues of the Government  segment were $20.7 million for 1994,
an increase of 14% from the $18.2 million  reported in 1993. This growth was due
to the success of the  Company's  site  maintenance  and testing  business.  The
Company  currently  has several  contracts at different  government-owned  sites
across the country. The Company's software development business also contributed
to the  increase.  In 1994,  the  Company  announced  its  software  development
business was successful in winning a $2.5 million,  multi-year contract from the
National  Institute  for  Environmental   Renewal.   This  will  result  in  the
development and application of an Environmental Monitoring and Management System
for the detection of ground and water contamination.

       Gross margin on net product sales of the Commercial  segment was 38.6% in
1994,  compared to 42% in 1993.  This  decrease in margin was a result of volume
discounts earned in 1994 by a major customer in accordance with the terms of its
sales  agreement  with the  Company.  Partially  offsetting  this  was  improved
absorption  of  certain  fixed  manufacturing  costs  as a result  of  increased
production in 1994.

       Gross margin on service  revenues of the Commercial  segment was 16.9% in
1994  versus  11.3%  in  1993.   This  increase  was  the  result  of  increased
installation  and service contract revenue directly related to the increased POS
product revenue discussed above.

       Gross margin on contract  revenues of the Government  segment was 4.8% in
1994 compared to 3.7% in 1993. During 1994, the Company  controlled its overhead
costs which resulted in improved margins on certain contracts.

       Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses of the Commercial segment
were $14.2 million in 1994, an increase of 9.2% from the $13 million recorded in
1993.  This  increase  was  primarily  due to the  Company's  expanded POS sales
efforts and to sales and  marketing  activities  associated  with the  Company's
Vision products.

       Research  and  development  expenses of the  Commercial  segment  were $5
million in 1994, an increase of 18.2% from the $4.2 million reported a year ago.
The  Company's  net  investment  in POS and Vision  products  increased  in 1994
compared to last year.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

       Cash flows to meet the Company's requirements of operating, investing and
financing   activities   during  the  past  three  years  are  reported  in  the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

       Cash flow used by operating  activities  was $767,000 in 1995 compared to
cash  provided by operations  of $8.1 million in 1994.  The  Company's  accounts
receivable  balance  grew  substantially  in 1995 as a result of  record  fourth
quarter  revenues which  increased $8.3 million over the fourth quarter of 1994.
During 1994,  the Company's  net profits and a reduction in accounts  receivable
were the primary reasons for the positive cash flow.
<PAGE>
         Cash used in investing  activities was $1.8 million in 1995 compared to
$2.2 million in 1994. The Company incurred $1.3 million for capital expenditures
in 1995 versus $1.7 million in 1994. In 1995, the Company  purchased  additional
internal use computer hardware and software and upgraded certain  communications
equipment.   Capital   expenditures   in  1994  were   primarily  for  continued
improvements  to the  Company's  headquarters'  facility and computer  equipment
upgrades.

       Cash flow  provided by financing  activities  was $101,000 in 1995 versus
cash used of $3.9 million in 1994. In 1995,  cash flow benefited by the proceeds
from the exercise of employee stock options and short-term  bank  borrowings for
working capital  requirements.  This was partially  offset by the acquisition of
treasury  stock during the year. In 1994,  the Company used its cash provided by
operations to pay off all of its short term borrowings with banks.

       The  Company  has  line-of-credit  agreements  with  certain  banks which
aggregate $27.2 million, virtually all of which was unused at December 31, 1995.
The Company believes that it has adequate financial resources to meet its future
liquidity and capital requirements.

              The Company  owns a 44% interest in Phoenix and is involved in the
DoD's Mentor Protege  Program with Phoenix.  At December 31, 1995,  Phoenix owes
the  Company  $957,000  related  to  contracted   manufacturing   and  services.
Additionally,  the Company has guaranteed a $1,000,000  line-of-credit borrowing
of Phoenix.  See Note 9 to the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for further
discussion.

                          Compensation Committee Report

         Pursuant to its  responsibilities,  the  Compensation  Committee of the
Board of Directors (the "Committee")  performs annual reviews of the performance
and  contribution of the Company's  executive  officers  against annual and long
term  commitments and objectives to determine the nature and extent of executive
compensation actions. Decisions of the Committee relative to the compensation of
employee  committee  members  (Dr.  Sammon and Mr.  Constantino)  are subject to
review and approval by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board.
<PAGE>
General Compensation Policy

         PAR's executive compensation program is designed to attract,  motivate,
reward and retain the management  talent  essential to achieving  PAR's business
objectives  and   maintaining  its  position  of  leadership  in  the  industry.
Compensation  for PAR's executive  officers in 1995 is consistent with the three
fundamental principles of the executive compensation program:

       o Executive   compensation   must  be  tied  to  the  Company's   general
         performance and achievement of financial and strategic goals;

       o Executive  compensation  opportunities should be competitive with those
         provided by other leading high technology companies of comparable size;
         and

       o Provide incentives that align the long-term  financial interests of the
         Company's executives with those of its Shareholders.

Elements of Executive Compensation

         To meet its policy objectives for executive compensation, the Company's
executive  compensation program consists of Base Salary,  Incentive Compensation
and Stock Options.

         Base Salary.  The Committee  reviewed and set the annual base salary of
the executive  officers for fiscal 1995. In setting  annual base  salaries,  the
Committee considered the salaries of relative executives in similar positions in
the  industry  from its most recent  contracted  survey,  the level and scope of
responsibility,   experience  and   performance  of  the  executive,   financial
performance of the Company and overall general economic  factors.  The Committee
believes  that the  companies  with whom the Company  competes for  compensation
purposes  are  not  necessarily  the  same  companies  with  which   shareholder
cumulative  returns are compared.  The peer groups used in the Performance Graph
below include the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and those computer  hardware
companies deemed most comparable to the Company's businesses for measuring stock
performance.  An objective of the Committee is to administer the salary for each
executive  management  position  within a range with a midpoint near the average
midpoint for comparable positions at companies of similar size, line of business
and geographic area. In implementing its  compensation  policies,  the Committee
also considers the individual  experience and performance of the executive,  the
performance of the organization over which the executive has responsibility, the
performance of the Company and general economic conditions.  The Committee gives
such weight to each factor as it deems appropriate.

         Incentive Compensation. PAR's executive officers participate with other
key employees in the Key Employee  Incentive  Compensation  Program.  Adopted in
1985,  this program  provides  compensation  calculated on annual  business unit
performance  and  overall  corporate   performance   compared  to  predetermined
financial  goals.  Under this program,  key employees are eligible to receive an
annual  incentive  cash bonus  based on the  performance  of the Company and the
appropriate  business  unit  as  measured  against   pre-established   financial
objectives which include  measurements of profit before tax,  revenue,  accounts
receivable  collection cycle and inventory turns.  Performance  attainment of no
less  than  75%  and up to 200%  of the  targeted  objective  will  entitle  the
participant to receive a  proportionally  calculated  incentive bonus. For 1995,
the maximum possible  incentive  bonuses for achievement of 100% performance was
dependent upon the participant's organizational level and ranged from 25% to 35%
of the participant's base salary.
<PAGE>
         Stock Options.  In furtherance of the objective of providing  long-term
financial incentives that relate to improvement in long-term  Shareholder value,
the Company  awards  stock  options to its key  employees  (including  executive
officers)  under its 1995 Stock  Option  Plan  ("Option  Plan").  Stock  options
("Options")  granted under the Option Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options
as defined by the Internal Revenue Code  ("Incentive  Stock Options") or Options
which are not Incentive Stock Options ("Nonqualified Stock Options"). The Option
Plan is  administered  by the Stock Option  Committee of the Board of Directors.
Upon review of recommendations from the Compensation Committee, the Stock Option
Committee from time to time  determines the key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries  who shall be granted  Options,  the type of Options to be granted,
the terms of the grant and the  number of shares to be subject  thereto.  Option
grants become  exercisable no less than six months after the grant and typically
expire ten years after the date of the grant.  Option  grants are  discretionary
and are  reflective  of the  value of the  recipients'  position  as well as the
current  performance  and  continuing  contribution  of that  individual  to the
Company.

CEO Compensation for Fiscal 1995

         The  Committee  based  the 1995  compensation  of the  Chief  Executive
Officer on the policies and  practices  described  above.  In 1995,  Dr.  Sammon
received salary compensation of $200,904, an increase of 4% over his 1994 salary
and earned an Incentive  Compensation  bonus  payment of $76,206.  The Incentive
Compensation  award was based on the Company's  performance  to  pre-established
objectives  for  profit  before  tax,  revenue,  inventory  turns  and  accounts
receivable  collection  cycle with each  objective  carrying  a  pre-established
weight.  Dr.  Sammon,  the Company's  founder,  became a shareholder  before the
Company became  publicly-owned  and has not, to date, been granted options under
the  Company's  Stock  Option Plan in view of his already  existing  substantial
interest in maximizing the value of the Company's common stock.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

         Dr. John W.  Sammon,  Jr.,  Chairman of the Board and  President of the
Company and Mr. Charles A. Constantino,  Executive Vice President of the Company
serve as members of the Compensation Com-mittee and the Stock Option Committee.

         Directors  who  are  employees  of  the  Company  are  not   separately
compensated  for  serving  on the  Board.  All other  directors  receive  annual
retainers of $10,000 for membership on the Board and an attendance fee of $1,000
per day for attendance at Board meetings and any Committee  meetings held on the
same day and $500 per day, prorated accordingly,  for Committee meetings held on
days other than Board meeting days.  All directors are also  reimbursed  for all
reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings. In addition,  for serving on
the Board, each non-employee  Director receives an initial  Non-qualified  Stock
Options to purchase  5,000 shares of the  company's  common stock at an exercise
price  equal to 80% of the fair  market  value of the stock on the date of grant
vesting 20% per year over five years.  Upon  expiration  of such 5 year  period,
such non-employee Directors may be granted additional Nonqualified Stock Options
under the then existing stock option plan.

Performance Graph

         The  following  Performance  Graph shows the changes over the past five
year  period  (1991  through  1995) in the value of $100  invested  in:  (1) the
Company's  common stock, (2) the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, and (3) the common
stock of the Computer  Hardware Listed Industry Group  (companies with SIC codes
of 3571 and 3575)  whose  returns are  weighted  according  to their  respective
market capitalizations. The closing price of the Company's stock on December 31,
1990 was $2.63 and an  investment  of $100 would have  acquired 38 shares of the
Company.  On December 31, 1995 the Company's  stock price closed at $9.00 making
the value of the originally acquired 38 shares $343.

         The  following  companies  are  included  in Computer  Hardware  Listed
Industry Group: Amdahl  Corporation,  Atari Corporation,  Ceridian  Corporation,

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of PAR Technology Corporation



         In our opinion,  the consolidated  financial  statements  listed in the
index  appearing  under Item  14(a) (1) and (2) the  Annual  Report on Form 10-K
present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of PAR
Technology  Corporation and its  subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended  December 31, 1995, in conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's  management;  our  responsibility  is to  express  an opinion on these
financial  statements  based on our  audits.  We  conducted  our audits of these
statements  in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing  standards  which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about
whether the financial  statements  are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the financial  statements,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of consolidation

       The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  PAR
Technology  Corporation  and its wholly  owned  subsidiaries  (PAR  Microsystems
Corporation,  PAR Government Systems Corporation,  Rome Research Corporation and
PAR Vision Systems Corporation),  collectively referred to as the "Company." All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition

       Revenues from sales of commercial  products are generally recorded as the
products are shipped,  provided  that no  significant  vendor and  post-contract
support  obligations  remain and the  collection  of the related  receivable  is
probable. Costs relating to any remaining insignificant vendor and post-contract
obligations are accrued.  The Company's service revenues are recognized  ratably
over the related  contract period or as the services are performed.  Billings in
advance of the  Company's  performance  of such work are  reflected  as deferred
service revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

       The Company's  contract  revenues result primarily from contract services
performed   for   the   United   States    Government   under   a   variety   of
cost-reimbursement,   time-and-material  and  fixed-price  contracts.   Contract
revenues,  including  fees and profits,  are recorded as services are  performed
using the  percentage-of-completion  method of  accounting,  primarily  based on
contract  costs  incurred to date compared with  estimated  costs at completion.
Anticipated losses on all contracts and programs in process are recorded in full
when identified. Unbilled accounts receivable are stated at estimated realizable
value.  Contract costs,  including indirect  expenses,  are subject to audit and
adjustment   through   negotiations   between   the   Company   and   government
representatives.  Contract  revenues  have been  recorded  in  amounts  that are
expected to be  realized  on final  settlement.  The  Company  follows  accepted
industry practice and records amounts retained by the government on contracts as
a current asset.

Statement of cash flows

       For purposes of reporting  cash flows,  the Company  considers all highly
liquid investments, purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less,
to be cash equivalents.  The effect of changes in foreign-exchange rates on cash
balances is not material.

Inventories

       Inventories  are  valued  at the  lower  of cost or  market,  cost  being
determined on the basis of the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Property, plant and equipment

       Property,  plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using
the  straight-line  or an accelerated  method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, which range from three to twenty years. Expenditures for maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred.
<PAGE>
Warranties

       A majority of the  Company's  products are under  warranty for defects in
material and workmanship for various periods of time. The Company establishes an
accrual for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale.

Income taxes

       The  provision  for  income  taxes is based  upon  pretax  earnings  with
deferred  income  taxes  provided  for the  temporary  differences  between  the
financial  reporting  basis  and the  tax  basis  of the  Company's  assets  and
liabilities.

Foreign currency

       The assets and liabilities for the Company's international operations are
translated into U.S.  dollars using year-end  exchange rates.  Income  statement
items are translated at average exchange rates  prevailing  during the year. The
resulting  translation  adjustments  are  recorded  as a separate  component  of
share-holders'  equity.  Exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances of a
long-term  investment  nature are also  recorded  as a  translation  adjustment.
Foreign currency  transaction  gains and losses,  which  historically  have been
immaterial, are included in net income.

Research and development costs

       The Company  capitalizes  certain  costs  related to the  development  of
computer  software under the  requirements of Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards  No. 86,  Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software to be Sold,
Leased,  or Otherwise  Marketed.  Software  development  costs incurred prior to
establishing technological feasibility are charged to operations and included in
research and  development  costs.  Software  development  costs  incurred  after
establishing feasibility,  are capitalized and amortized on a product-by-product
basis when the  product is  available  for  general  release to  customers.  The
unamortized  computer  software  costs  included  in other  assets  amounted  to
$1,311,000  and $1,801,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  Annual
amortization,  charged to cost of sales,  is the greater of the amount  computed
using the ratio that current  gross  revenues for a product bear to the total of
current  and  anticipated  future  gross  revenues  for  that  product,  or  the
straight-line  method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.
Amortization of capitalized software costs amounted to $990,000,  $1,076,000 and
$1,231,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

Earnings per share

       Earnings per share are based upon the weighted  average  number of shares
outstanding  plus common  stock  equivalents  under the  Company's  stock option
plans.

Reclassifications

       Certain  revenues  and  related  costs  relating  to Systems  Integration
activity which previously were reflected as service revenues and costs have been
reclassified to product sales and costs.
<PAGE>
Use of Estimates

       The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates,  judgments
and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets,  liabilities  and
revenues and expenses (as well as disclosures of contingent  liabilities) during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 2 -- Accounts Receivable

The Company's accounts receivable consist of:

       The Company also maintains an  incentive-compensation  plan. Participants
in  the  plan  are  key  employees  as   determined  by  executive   management.
Compensation  under  the  plan is  based  on the  achievement  of  predetermined
financial  performance goals of the Company and its  subsidiaries.  Awards under
the plan are payable in cash.  For the years ended  December 31, 1995,  1994 and
1993,  the Company  expensed  approximately  $628,000,  $764,000  and  $506,000,
respectively, in cash awards under the plan.

Note 9 -- Investment in Affiliate

       In June 1992,  the Company was approved  under the  Department of Defense
Mentor-Protege  Program as a mentor for a minority-owned  government contractor,
Phoenix Systems and Technology,  Inc. (Phoenix).  Concurrent with this approval,
the Company  acquired a 44% interest in Phoenix which is accounted for under the
equity method.

       The Company is a subcontractor to Phoenix on certain  engineering service
contracts  with the United States  Government.  Additionally,  Phoenix rents its
office  space  from  the  Company.  Phoenix  is also a vendor  to PAR  providing
manufacturing  and  some  contract  services.  As  a  result  of  this  business
relationship,  PAR had a net  receivable  from Phoenix of $1,000,000 at December
31, 1994.  During 1995 $450,000 of this amount was paid and the Company recorded
an allowance for the remainder.  During 1995,  PAR billed Phoenix  approximately
$1.6 million and Phoenix  billed PAR $1.1 million in  connection  with the above
activities.  At  December  31,  1995,  the  Company  had  recorded  $957,000  of
receivables  relating  to 1995  activities.  This  amount  is net of a  $282,000
allowance and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The
Company  determined  that allowances were necessary as a result of delays in new
contract starts, Phoenix exiting certain unprofitable  manufacturing  activities
and the  settlement of a  contracting  claim with the federal  government.  Also
during  1995,  as a result of the  Company's  equity in  Phoenix's  losses,  the
Company's remaining investment of $264,000 was written off.

       In connection with the  Mentor-Protege  program discussed above,  Company
management  assisted  Phoenix in the development of their business plan for 1996
and beyond. This plan, which Phoenix believes to be achievable,  anticipates the
development  of a profitable  manufacturing  business and  continued  profitable
services  business.  The plan provides for payment of the amount due the Company
over the  next  three  years.  The  Company  has also  guaranteed  a  $1,000,000
line-of-credit  borrowing  of  Phoenix.  If  Phoenix  is unable to  successfully
execute its business plan, the Company could incur additional losses.

Note 10 -- Contingencies

       The Company is subject to legal  proceedings  which arise in the ordinary
course of  business.  Additionally,  Government  contract  costs are  subject to
periodic  audit and  adjustment.  In the  opinion of  Management,  the  ultimate
liability,  if any, with respect to these actions will not materially affect the
financial position of the Company.

Note 11 -- Industry Segments

       The Company, through its separate operating subsidiaries, operates in two
principal  segments:   a  Commercial  segment  and  a  Government  segment.  The
Commercial  segment  designs,  develops,  manu-factures,   sells,  installs  and
services point-of-sale terminal systems for the restaurant industry,  industrial
data  collection  systems for  manufacturing  industries,  and image  processing
systems  for the  ophthalmic  and  food-processing  industries.  The  Government
segment designs and implements  advanced  technology  computer  software systems
primarily  for  military  and  intelligence  agency  applications,  and provides
services for operating and maintaining certain U.S. Government-owned test sites,
and for planning, executing and evaluating experiments involving new or advanced
radar systems. Inter-segment sales and transfers are not material.
