market value at November 30, 1994, a valuation allowance in the amount of
$113,000 was established with a corresponding charge to net income. The
valuation allowance has been reflected as a separate component of shareholders'
equity on August 31, 1995 pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 115.

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

                                        November 30,      August 31,
                                            1994            1995
                                        -----------      -----------
        Raw materials                   $   617,000      $ 2,256,000
        Work-in-process                     434,000          226,000
        Finished goods                    1,708,000        3,433,000
                                          ---------        ---------  
                                        $ 2,759,000      $ 5,915,000
                                          =========        =========

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 and marketing plan.
        
4.  Net Income <Loss> Per Common Share
        
     Net income <loss> per common share is determined by dividing net income
<loss> by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares
outstanding during each period. Common equivalent shares have been calculated in
accordance with the treasury stock method and are included for all periods where
their effect is dilutive. Fully dilute net income <loss> per share has not been
separately presented, as the amounts would not be materially different from net
income <loss> per share.

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. The complaint includes requests for injuctive relief, treble damages,
interests, costs and fees. In July, 1995 the Company filed an Answer and
Counterclaim denying any infringe-ment and asserting that the patent in question
is invalid. The Company intends vigorously to defend the lawsuit. There can be
no assurance that the Company will prevail in the litigation, or that any of the
effects of the litigation, whether or not successful, will not be material.

     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:

                                        November 30,       August 31, 
                                            1994              1995
                                        ------------     -------------
        Deferred tax assets            $ 3,563,000       $  2,746,000
        Deferred tax liabilities          (271,000)          (291,000)
        Valuation allowance             (3,294,000)        (2,458,000) 
                                        ----------         ----------
                                       $    (2,000)      $     (3,000)
                                        ==========         ==========

     The approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and
carryforward before allocation of the valuation allowance is:

        Net operating losses           $ 1,638,000       $    263,000 
        Other temporary differences        989,000          1,347,000
        Alternative minimum tax credits     50,000             50,000
        General business credits           615,000            795,000
                                        ----------         ----------
                                       $ 3,292,000       $  2,455,000
                                        ==========         ==========

     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.

                                    (CONTINUED)

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 were $51,286,000,
or 43.4% over the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily a result of
higher unit sales from Media 100 which increased 156.7% to $20,323,000 and
accounted for 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 increased $3,718,000 or 34.2% from the
comparable period in fiscal 1994 due to increased demand in the market for
networking products. Data acquisition and imaging net sales were down slightly
despite an increase in unit sales 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

     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.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                    (CONTINUED)

Comparison of First Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 to
 First Nine Months of Fiscal 1994 (continued):

     Income from operations for the first nine months 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 and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
total sales were relatively flat for the two nine month periods. Research and
development expenses increased $308,000 from the comparable period in the prior
year, reflecting the continued investment in product development. However, as a
percentage of total sales, research and development expenses represented 10.7%
compared to 14.5% for the prior period, reflecting the impact of increased
networking distribution sales of products manufactured by third parties and the
156.7% growth in Media 100 sales in this period. 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 December 1994
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 one year. Cash generated from operations amounted to $1,532,000.
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 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.

                        PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On June 7, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Avid, a 
Massachusett-based company, in the United States District Court for the 
District of Massachusetts. The complaint alleges patent infringement by the
Company arising from the manufacture, sale and use of the Company's Media 100
line of products. The complaint includes requests for injunctive relief, treble
damages, interest, costs and fees. On July 28, 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. In addition, Avid has filed papers in
the United States Patent and Trademark Office requesting reissuanse of the
patent and stating that it seeks patent claims broader than those set forth in
the existing patent. The reissuance proceedings remain pending. If such broader
claims were to issue, the Company expects that Avid would seek to incorporate
such claims into the litigation, although Avid has made no reference to the
reissue proceedings in the litigation to date. If the Company does not prevail
in the action, it could be required to pay substantial damages for infringement
and cease offering products that allegedly infringe such patent, either of which
results would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Alternatively, the
Company could be required to seek to obtain a license under patent. If so, there
can be no assurance that such a license would be available to the Company or, if
available, that the terms of any such license would be satisfactory. Moreover,
the pendency and expense of the litigation could adversely affect the Company's
business, market share, financial condition and operating results, regardless of
the outcome of the litigation. There can be no assurance that the Company will
prevail in the litigation, or that any of the above-described effects of
litigation, whether or not successful, will not be material.

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