 Item 2
                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
                                  COMPARED WITH
                           QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998


     The Company  reported  revenues of $39 million for the second quarter ended
June 30,  1999,  an increase of 50% from the $26 million  reported in the second
quarter of 1998.  Net income was $1.2  million or diluted  earnings per share of
$.14 for 1999.  This  compares to a net loss of  $445,000 or a diluted  loss per
share of $.05 for 1998.

     Product  revenues  were $24.3 million in 1999, an increase of 103% from the
$12 million recorded in 1998. This growth was led by increased domestic sales to
McDonald's  Corporation.  McDonald's  "Made for You" initiative has been driving
the  demand  for  the  Company's  products.  Higher  domestic  sales  to  Tricon
Restaurants  also  contributed  to  this  increase.  Additionally,  the  Company
recorded a 40% increase in international  product revenue with growth in Europe,
Mexico  and the  Middle  East.  McDonald's  and  Burger  King  were the  primary
customers  in  these   international   markets.   Revenue  from  the   Company's
manufacturing/warehousing  product line increased 166% as a result of its latest
software   application  release  receiving  SAP  certification.   The  Company's
customers in this area include Boeing, Raytheon and Rapistan.

     Customer  service  revenues  were $9.4 million in 1999,  an increase of 30%
from the $7.3 million in 1998. The Company recorded higher installation  revenue
which is directly  related to the growth in product revenue  discussed above. An
increase  in Help Desk  support  revenue was also a  contributing  factor to the
revenue  growth.   The  Company's  service   offerings   include   installation,
twenty-four  hour help desk  support  and  various  field  and  on-site  service
options.

     Contract  revenues  were  $5.2  million  in 1999,  a  decrease  of 23% when
compared to the $6.8 million  recorded in the same period in 1998. This decrease
was due to the completion of a major airfield  management  contract in the third
quarter of 1998. This decrease was partially  offset by a $9 million  multi-year
contract  for our  Cargo*Mate  identification  and  monitoring  system  from the
Department of Transportation. The Company anticipates a return to growth in this
business in the fourth quarter of 1999.

                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                           QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

                           QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

     Product  margins  were 35% for 1999  compared to 25% for the same period in
1998. This  improvement was due to several factors.  The Company  benefited from
lower component costs and other manufacturing  efficiencies due to the increased
volume of  production.  Additionally,  the software  content of product  revenue
increased  in the second  quarter of 1999 when  compared  to the same  period in
1998.

     Customer service margins were 13% in the second quarter of 1999 compared to
15% for the same period in 1998.  The Company is continuing  its  investments in
service personnel,  training and service integration and help desk capabilities.
These  initiatives,  will enable the Company to support its  expanding  customer
base, maintain its high level of customer satisfaction and improve margins.

     Contract  margins  were 8% in 1999  compared  to 12% for the same period in
1998.  The 1998  margins  were  higher  than  normal  due to a  retroactive  fee
adjustment on a contract.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were $5.8  million in 1999
versus $4.7 million for the same period in 1998, an increase of 24%.  Consistent
with its growth  plans,  the Company has expanded its sales force and  increased
its marketing efforts in both the POS and Manufacturing/Warehousing areas.

     Research and development expenses were $2.3 million in 1999, an increase of
52% from the $1.5 million  recorded for the same period in 1998. The Company has
increased its investment in POS software  development,  including numerous store
applications and interfacing store  information to the home office.  The Company
is also  investing  in  software  products  for  interface  with SAP  enterprise
solutions.  Research and development costs attributable to government  contracts
are included in cost of contract revenues.

     Interest expense  represents  interest charged on the Company's  short-term
borrowing requirements from banks.

                         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998


     The Company  reported  revenues of $74.7  million for the six months  ended
1999, an increase of 58% from the $47.2 million reported in 1998. Net income was
$1.9 million or diluted  earnings per share of $.23 for 1999. This compares to a
net loss of $2.1 million or a diluted loss per share of $.23 for 1998.

     Product  revenues  were $46.4 million in 1999, an increase of 133% from the
$19.9 million recorded in 1998. This growth was led by increased  domestic sales
to  McDonald's  Corporation,  Tricon  Restaurants  and  increased  sales  of the
Company's  manufacturing/warehousing  products.  The Company also recorded a 35%
increase in international  product revenue with growth recorded in several areas
including Europe, the Middle East, Mexico and Australia.

     Customer  service  revenues  were $18.1 million in 1999, an increase of 27%
from the $14.2  million in 1998.  The primary  reason for this growth was higher
installation  revenue which is directly related to the increased product revenue
discussed  above.  Increases in help desk and supply sales also  contributed  to
this growth.

     Contract  revenues  were  $10.2  million in 1999,  a  decrease  of 21% when
compared to the $13 million  recorded in the same period in 1998.  This decrease
was due to the completion of a major airfield  management  contract in the third
quarter of 1998. This decrease was partially  offset by the Cargo*Mate  contract
discussed previously.

     Product  margins  were 36% for 1999  compared to 26% for the same period in
1998.  The  improved  margins  were  primarily  due to  lower  component  costs,
favorable  product mix and increased  software  content in 1999. The Company was
still  selling some older  product lines with lower margins in the first half of
1998.

     Customer  service  margins  were 10% for 1999  compared to 12% for the same
period in 1998. The Company's investment in its service  capabilities  continued
in the first half of 1999.

     Contract  margins  were 7% in 1999  compared  to 8% for the same  period in
1998.  As  discussed  previously,  the 1998  margin  included  the  benefit of a
retroactive fee adjustment on a contract.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were $11.5 million in 1999
versus $9.2 million for the same period in 1998, an increase of 25%. The Company
is continuing to expand its sales and marketing capabilities in both the POS and
Manufacturing/Warehouse areas.

     Research and development expenses were $4.5 million in 1999, an increase of
58% from the $2.9 million  recorded for the same period in 1998.  The Company is
investing in POS software  applications and software products for interface with
SAP enterprise solutions.

     Interest expense  represents  interest charged on the Company's  short-term
borrowing requirements from banks.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  primary source of liquidity has been from  operations.  Cash
provided by  operating  activities  was $3.5  million in the first six months of
1999, compared to $1.4 million in 1998. During the first half of 1999, cash flow
benefited from the collection of accounts receivable,  net income for the period
and a federal  income tax refund.  This was partially  offset by the increase in
inventory  levels in  anticipation  of  future  demand  and to meet the  growing
service parts  requirements as the Company's  customer base increases.  In 1998,
the Company's cash flow benefited from the collection of accounts receivable,  a
reduction  of  inventory  and the  receipt of $1.7  million  federal  tax refund
pertaining to utilization of 1997's net operating loss.

     Cash used in investing activities was $1.1 million for the first six months
of 1999 compared to $2.2 million in 1998. In 1999, capital expenditures were for
the continued upgrade to the Company's customer service center, for PC equipment
and for research and development  equipment.  In 1998, capital expenditures were
primarily  for  upgrades  to the  Company's  customer  service  center  and  for
manufacturing equipment.

     Cash used in financing  activities  was $2.6  million for 1999  compared to
$95,000 in 1998. In 1999, the Company reduced its lines of credit obligations by
$1.8  million.  The Company  also  repurchased  137,300  shares of its stock for
$878,000. In 1998, the Company repaid $195,000  line-of-credit  indebtedness and
received  $100,000  from the exercise of employee  stock  options.

     The Company has line-of-credit agreements, which aggregate $35 million with
certain banks,  of which $29.4 million were unused at June 30, 1999. The Company
believes that it has adequate  financial  resources to meet its future liquidity
and capital requirements.

     Year 2000 Disclosure-- The "Year 2000 problem" exists because many computer
programs  use  only  the last two  digits  to refer to a year.  Therefore  these
computer programs do not properly  recognize a year beginning with "20", instead
of the familiar  "19".  The Year 2000  problem  affects  virtually  all computer
systems, processes, and products in all segments of society.

     The Company has identified  the following  areas which could be impacted by
the Year 2000 issue.  They are:  Company  products,  internally used systems and
software,  and  products or services  provided by key third  parties or business
partners. If the Company experiences Year 2000 issues resulting from failures in
any of these areas, the results could conceivably have a material adverse effect
on the Company.

     In 1997, the Company  established a  corporate-wide  program to address the
Year 2000 issue.  The  objective  of this program is to  identify,  assess,  and
address any issues associated with its infrastructure,  operations, and products
in  transitioning  to Year 2000. The Company's  cross-functional  Year 2000 Task
Force includes senior management  personnel who have responsibility for ensuring
Year 2000 program tasks are  completed in support of all PAR business  functions
and  locations.  Year 2000  progress  reports are also  presented  regularly  to
executive management and the Company's Board of Directors.

     The  multi-phase  Year 2000  program  includes:  (1)  education  of Company
personnel  on the Year 2000 and its  effects,  (2)  identification  of  systems,
suppliers of goods and services,  and business partners with potential Year 2000
issues relating to the Company's internal operations as well as the creation and
support of its products,  (3)  assessment of internal  systems and products,  as
well as  inquiries  to outside  parties to ascertain  Year 2000  readiness,  (4)
resolution and contingency planning for any items identified as having Year 2000
issues, and (5) post implementation follow-up.

     The  Company  is  currently  in  Phase  4 of its  program  and  anticipates
completion  of this  phase  by the  third  quarter  of  1999.  The  Company  has
established a site on its web page dedicated to Year 2000 Readiness  Disclosure.
This site is a culmination of Company product analysis and testing results,  and
can be found at http://www.partech.com/.

     The Company has undergone a review of its internal systems  including those
which support manufacturing,  financial,  and general business operations.  As a
result,  the Company has  identified  some systems which require  upgrades to be
Year 2000 ready, including certain business software applications.  The business
application upgrades are in progress,  and are accommodated by existing software
maintenance  contracts with outside providers.  The Company  anticipates that it
will complete its review of its internal  systems and expects that all necessary
upgrades to ensure Year 2000  compliance  will be completed by the third quarter
of 1999.

     The  Company's  analysis to date of key third  parties has not revealed any
issues which would prevent them from continuing to provide products and services
through the Year 2000  transition.  Such  analysis  has included  telephone  and
written  inquiries to third parties.  As the assessment  continues,  the Company
will determine its vulnerability and establish  contingency plans where required
and possible.  The Company expects any such contingency plans to be developed by
the third quarter of 1999. The Company estimates the remaining cost of resolving
Year 2000 issues will be approximately $750,000. This will be funded by existing
financial  resources.  The costs to date  associated  with the Year 2000  effort
represent a reallocation of existing Company resources.  However failure, delays
or increased  costs  experienced  by the Company  could have a material  adverse
effect  on  the  Company's   results  of  operations  or  financial   condition.
Additionally  the Company cannot  guarantee  that third parties,  upon which the
Company  relies,  will be able to adequately  assess and address their Year 2000
compliance  issues in a timely  manner,  the  effects  of which may also have an
adverse  impact on the Company's  results of operations.  As a consequence,  the
Company can give no assurances  that issues related to Year 2000 will not have a
material adverse effect on future results of operations or financial condition.

Other Matters

     Inflation  had little  effect on revenues and related  costs during the six
months of 1999.  Management  anticipates  that  margins  will be  maintained  at
acceptable levels to minimize the effects of inflation, if any.

     The Company has total interest  bearing  short-term  debt of  approximately
$5.6 million at June 30, 1999.  Management believes that increases in short-term
rates could have an adverse effect on the Company's 1999 results.

     Management  believes that foreign currency  fluctuations  should not have a
significant  impact on gross margins due to the low volume of business  affected
by foreign currencies.
