1.  Basis of Presentation
        
        In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial
statements and disclosures reflect all adjustments necessary for fair
presentation. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

        Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. It is suggested that these
consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's latest audited financial statements, which are contained in the
Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on February 28, 1995.
        
2.  Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
        
        Cash equivalents are carried at cost which approximates market value and
have maturities of less than three months. Cash equivalents include money market
accounts and U.S. Treasury bills.

        Marketable securities held as of August 31, 1995, consist of the
following:

</TABLE> 

        Marketable securities had a cost of $2,600,000 and $6,619,000 at
November 30, 1994 and August 31, 1995, respectively, and a market value of
$2,487,000 and $6,558,000, respectively. To reduce the carrying amount of the
portfolio to market value, a valuation allowance in the amount of $113,000 and
$61,000 for November 30, 1994 and August 31, 1995 was established with a
corresponding charge to net income on November 30, 1994. The valuation allowance
has been reflected as a separate component of shareholders' equity on August 31,
1995 due to the Company's adoption of the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting of Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities" as of December 1, 1994.

3.  Inventories
        
        Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost
or market and consist of the following:        

<TABLE> 
<CAPTION> 
                                  November 30,      August 31,

                                    =========        =========
</TABLE> 
        
Work-in-process and finished goods inventories include material, labor and
manufacturing overhead. Management performs periodic reviews of inventory and
disposes of items not required by their manufacturing plan.
        
4.  Net Income <Loss> Per Common Share
        
        Net income <loss> per common share is based upon dividing net income
<loss> by the weighted average number of common shares out-standing during each
period. Common equivalent shares have been computed in accordance with the
treasury stock method and are included for all periods where their effect is
dilutive. Fully dilute net income <loss> per common share has not been
separately presented, as the amounts would not be materially different from the
amount presented.

5.  Contingencies
        
        On June 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Avid
Technology, Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts. The complaint generally alleges patent infringement by the
Company arising from the manufacture, sale, and use of the Company's Media 100
product. In July, 1995 the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim denying any
infringement and asserting that the patent in question is invalid. The Company
intends vigorously to defend the lawsuit, which is currently early in the pre-
trial stage.

        From time to time the Company is involved in disputes and/or litigation
encountered in its normal course of business. The Company does not believe that
the ultimate impact of the resolution of any outstanding matters will have a
material effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

6.  Capitalized Software Development Costs
        
        The Company capitalizes certain computer software development costs.
Such costs, net of accumulated amortization, were approximately $215,000 and
$195,000 as of November 30, 1994 and August 31, 1995, respectively and are
included in other assets. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis
over two years which approximates the life of the product. Amortization expense,
included in cost of goods sold, was approximately $35,000 and $55,000 for the
three months ended August 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively. During the nine
months ended August 31, 1994 and 1995, amortization expense was $125,000,
respectively.

7.  Income Taxes

        In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 109 on December 1, 1993. There was no effect on net income of adopting
the provisions of SFAS No. 109.

        The tax provision of $81,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1995
compares to a tax provision of $84,000 in fiscal 1994. Any potential tax
provision resulting from operating income by the Company's domestic operations
has been offset by net operating loss carryforwards.
        
        The components of the net deferred tax amount recognized in the
accompanying balance sheets are:

carryforward before allocation of the valuation allowance is:

</TABLE> 

        The tax credit and net operating loss carryforwards expire at various
dates through 2008. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of realizing
the benefits of its favorable tax attributes in future tax returns, the Company
has placed a valuation allowance against its otherwise recognizable net deferred
tax assets.

        The United States Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions which may
limit the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards available to be used
in any given year in the event of significant changes in ownership, as defined.

8.  Recapitalization

        On June 28, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a 2 for 1 stock split
effected in the form of a dividend for all shareholders of record as of July 17,
1995. All share and per share data included in these financial statements have
been retroactively restated to reflect the stock split.

Comparison of Third Fiscal Quarter of 1995 to                                
   Third Fiscal Quarter of 1994:                                             
                                                                             
        Total net sales for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1995 were
$19,073,000, an increase of 51.5% or $6,482,000 from the same period a year ago.
This increase was primarily a result of higher unit sales from the Company's
digital media product line, Media 100(R), which accounted for $8,137,000 or
42.7% of the Company's total net sales compared to $3,453,000 or 27.4% in the
same period a year ago. The third quarter shipments include Version 2.5 of Media
100 which is compatible with the latest Power Macintosh (TM) computers utilizing
the PCI Bus architecture. Networking distribution sales increased $1,623,000 or
43.5% from the comparable quarter in 1994 to $5,353,000 or 28.0% of the
Company's total net sales. The increase in networking products represent the
continued steady growth in demand for networking products in the United Kingdom.
Net sales from the Company's data acquisition and imaging products were up 3.2%
or $175,000 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1994.

        While total net sales increased 51.5%, cost of sales increased by 48.5%
increasing the gross margin to 47.9% of total net sales compared to 46.9% in the
comparable quarter of the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily
a result of higher gross margins on the Company's manufactured product sales due
to the higher utilization of the Company's manufacturing capacity as well as a
favorable product mix.

Comparison of Third Fiscal Quarter of 1995 to                      
   Third Fiscal Quarter of 1994 (continued):                       
                                                                           
        The income from operations for the third fiscal quarter of 1995 was
$1,298,000, compared to $218,000 in the third quarter of the prior year. The
operating income reflects the higher net sales and gross margins as mentioned
above, offset by an increase in operating expenses of $2,157,000. Selling and
marketing expenses increased by $1,337,000 over the comparable quarter largely
due to higher sales and promotional expenses for Media 100. General and
administrative expenses increased by $550,000 reflecting higher fees for
professional services as well as higher personnel levels. Research and
development expenses increased by $270,000 demonstrating the Company's continued
investment in product development.

        Interest income was $135,000 for the third fiscal quarter of 1995
compared to $34,000 in the comparable period of 1994 reflecting the increase in
cash balance on hand during 1995.

        The tax provision of $6,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1995
compares to a tax provision of $12,000 in fiscal 1994 which was due to the
taxable operations in the United Kingdom. Any potential tax provision resulting
from operating income by the Company's domestic operations has been offset by
net operating loss carryforwards.

        Net income for the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 1995 was $1,426,000
or $0.21 per share and 504.2% over net income of $236,000 or $0.05 per share for
the same period in 1994.

Comparison of First Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 to                             
   First Nine Months of Fiscal 1994:                                          

        Net sales for the nine month period ended August 31, 1995 was
$51,286,000, an increase of 43.4% or $15,531,000 over the same period a year
ago. The increase was primarily a result of higher unit sales from Media 100
which has accounted for $20,323,000 or 39.6% of the Company's total net sales
compared to $7,916,000 or 22.1% in the same period a year ago. During the first
nine months of fiscal 1995, networking distribution sales have increased
$3,718,000 or 34.2% from the comparable period in fiscal 1994. Data acquisition
and imaging net sales were down slightly from the same period in fiscal 1994 and
represented 31.9% of the Company's total net sales compared to 47.4% in fiscal
1994. These lower net sales represent a shift in the data acquisition and
imaging market toward new, lower priced hardware and software solutions.
                      
        Gross margins for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 were 48.0%
compared to 46.5% in the comparable period of a year ago. This increase reflects
higher margins on the Company's manufactured products as mentioned previously.
In addition, networking product sales constituted a lesser percentage of the
Company's total net sales, thereby increasing gross margins since the networking
products carry a significantly lower gross margin than the Company's
manufactured products.

        Income from operations for the first half of fiscal 1995 was $2,762,000
compared to a loss on operations of $50,000 in the same period of last year. The
operating income reflects the higher net sales and gross margins, partially
offset by higher operating expenses of $5,162,000. Selling and marketing
expenses increased by $4,088,000 reflecting the additional costs associated with
the sales and promotion of Media 100 including higher personnel levels. General
and administrative expenses increased $766,000 from the first nine months of
fiscal 1994 which reflects higher fees for professional services and higher
personnel levels. Research and development expenses increase $308,000 from the
comparable period in the prior year, reflecting the continued investment in
product development. Although operating expenses were higher than the same
period of a year ago, as a percent of total net sales, operating expenses
decreased from 46.6% to 42.6%.
                                                                               
        Interest income was $494,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1995
compared to $118,000 in the comparable period of 1994 reflecting the increase in
cash balances on hand during 1995.
                                                                               
        The tax provision of $81,000 for the first nine months of fiscal 1995
compares to a $84,000 tax provision for the same period of a year ago. These tax
provisions are a result of profitable operations in the United Kingdom. Any
potential tax provision resulting from profitable operations in the Company's
domestic operations has been offset by net operating loss carryforwards.
                                                                               
        Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 was $3,164,000 or
$0.48 per share compared to net loss of $60,000 for the same period in 1994.
                                                                               
Liquidity and Capital Resources:                                       
                                                                               
        During the first nine months of fiscal 1995, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents balance increased by $5,480,000 while marketable securities
increased $4,071,000. These increases were primarily a result of a secondary
public stock offering generating net proceeds of approximately $8,802,000. The
net proceeds were invested in U.S. Treasury bills with maturities ranging from
three months to less than one year. Cash generated from operations amounted to
$2,076,000. This was the result of net income of $3,164,000 offset by higher
working capital requirements for the Company's growing operations.
                                                                               
        As of August, 1995, the Company had a line of credit in the United
Kingdom equivalent to approximately $600,000 of which $544,000 was outstanding.
The Company is currently negotiating a higher line of credit of approximately
$1,200,000 for its networking operations in the United Kingdom.
                                                                               
        The Company plans to fund and support its business plans which include
continuing investment in research and development for both the digital media and
other product areas, as well as increased focus on the international sales and
marketing efforts for Media 100. The Company believes that the net proceeds from
its secondary stock offering, together with existing cash and other resources
along with cash generated from future operations, will be sufficient to meet the
Company's cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

On June 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Avid Technology,
Inc., in the United States District Court for the Distict of Massachusetts. The
complaint generally alleges patent infringement by the Company arising from the
manufacture, sale, and use of the Company's Media 100 product. In July, 1995,
the Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim denying any infringement and
asserting that the patent in question is invalid. The Company intends vigorously
to defend the lawsuit, which is currently early in the pre-trial stage.
