1.   The  statements  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1996 and 1995 are
     unaudited; in the opinion of the Company such unaudited statements include
     all adjustments (which comprise only normal recurring  accruals)  necessary
     for a fair  presentation of the results for such periods.  The consolidated
     financial  statements for the year ending  December 31, 1996 are subject to
     adjustment at the end of the year when they will be audited by  independent
     accountants. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
     1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results of  operations  to be
     expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. The consolidated  financial
     statements  and  notes  thereto  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the
     financial statements and notes for the years ended in December 31, 1995 and
     1994  included in the  Company's  December  31,  1995 Annual  Report to the
     Securities  and Exchange  Commission  on Form 10-K.  Earnings per share are

Item 2
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
                                  COMPARED WITH
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

     The  Company  reported  an  increase in net income of 41.3% for the quarter
ended  March 31,  1996  compared  to the same  quarter  of 1995.  Net income was
$551,000,  or earnings per share of $0.07,  on net revenues of $25.5 million for
the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1996,  compared  to net income of  $390,000,  or
earnings  per  share of  $0.05 on net  revenues  of $24.0  million  for the same
quarter of 1995.

     Product  revenues  decreased  11.8% to $10.9  million in 1996 versus  $12.3
million in 1995.  This  decrease  was the  result of the  timing of Taco  Bell's
requirements under its sales contract with the Company.  In the first quarter of
1995, Taco Bell's demand for systems was high due to the size of the replacement
program during that period.  The Company will continue providing systems to Taco
Bell under its current contract which runs through March, 1997; however, because
the timing of replacement  programs and new store openings is determined by Taco
Bell based on its  requirements,  the volume of system sales to Taco Bell in any
quarter may vary from the prior comparable  quarter.  Partially  offsetting this
decrease  was an  increase  in sales to KFC in  several  international  markets.
During the current  period,  the Company sold 15 systems for use in China and 23
systems for use in Thailand to KFC.

     Service  revenues  increased  36.9% to $7.7 million in the first quarter of
1996 compared to $5.6 million for the first  quarter of 1995.  This increase was
due to a greater volume of special  integration  projects requested by customers
in 1996  compared  to 1995 and the ongoing  activities  with Taco Bell under the
exclusive  service  integration  contract awarded in 1995. Under this agreement,
the Company is responsible for servicing of all POS systems, back office systems
and Help Desk and On-Site Support activities.

     Contract revenues were $6.9 million in 1996, an increase of 14.0% from $6.1
million  reported in 1995. The Government  segment's  software  development  and
systems integration  business increased due to its ongoing work in environmental
monitoring systems and hazardous material  tracking.  Additionally,  the Company
continues  to  perform  as a  subcontractor  to  Northrop  Grumman  on the Joint
Surveillance   Target  Attack  System  (Joint  STARS)  Program.   The  Company's
engineering  services business  increased  primarily due to the Griffiss Minimum
Essential  Airfield  Contract  awarded  to  Phoenix  in 1995.  The  Company is a
subcontractor to Phoenix to operate and maintain Griffiss Air Force Base.

     Gross margin on product  revenues  was 37.7% in the first  quarter of 1996,
virtually  unchanged from the 37.9% for the first quarter of 1995.  Although the
Company has experienced reductions in average selling price to certain customers
during this period as compared to the first quarter of 1995, the impact has been
mitigated by favorable  product mix and cost reduction  programs  implemented by
the Company.

     Gross margin on service revenues was 18.4% for the three months ended March
1996 versus 20.6% for the same three months of 1995.  This decline was primarily
the result of lower margins  attributable  to the special  integration  projects
discussed above.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
                                  COMPARED WITH
                          QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1995

     Gross margin on contract revenues was 6.1% in 1996 versus 5.2% in 1995. The
improved margins were due to favorable contract mix in 1996 versus 1995.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $3.7 million in 1996, a
decline of 10.4% from the $4.2  million  reported  in 1995.  This  decrease  was
mainly the result of  nonrecurring  charges in 1995  relating  to the  Company's
accounts  receivable  from and equity  interest in Phoenix.  This was  partially
offset by an increase in the restaurant sales force costs in 1996 over 1995.

     Research and  development  expenses  increased 1.4% to $1.4 million in 1996
compared to $1.3 million in 1995. Research and development costs attributable to
government contracts are included in costs of contract revenues.

     The  Company's  effective  tax rate was 34.9% in 1996  compared to 39.0% in
1995. This decrease was due to adjustments to prior years' accruals in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  primary source of liquidity has been from  operations.  Cash
provided by operating  activities was $1.9 million in the first quarter of 1996,
compared to $2.4  million in 1995.  The  Company  historically  has  experienced
significant  collections of accounts  receivable in its first quarter due to the
volume of sales generated in the preceding quarter. This is primarily due to the
seasonal demands of the Company's restaurant customers. However, this factor was
offset by the build up of product  and  service  inventory  in  anticipation  of
future sales orders and service  requirements and the timing of estimated income
tax payments in 1996 versus 1995.

     Cash used in investing  activities  was  $198,000 for the first  quarter of
1996  compared to  $486,000  in 1995.  In 1996,  capital  expenditures  were for
internal  use  computers  and  other  miscellaneous   items.  In  1995,  capital
expenditures were primarily for upgrades to internal use software.

     Cash provided from financing  activities was $336,000 for the first quarter
of 1996  compared to $67,000 in 1995.  This  increase  was due  primarily to the
proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

     The Company has  line-of-credit  agreements,  which aggregate $27.2 million
with certain banks,  of which $383,000 was in use at March 31, 1996. The Company
believes that it has adequate  financial  resources to meet its future liquidity
and capital requirements.
