     Part I, Item 2 of the Form 10-Q for the  six-month  period  ended  June 30,
1998 is amended to read as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

     Results of  operations  for the three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1998
compared to the three month period ended June 30, 1997, were as follows:

     The Company's net sales decreased 3% to $2,717,965  during the period ended
June 30, 1998 from  $2,811,596  during the period  ended June 30,  1997.  Meager
shipments to the Southeast Asian markets,  due to the current economic crisis in
the region,  as partially  offset by increased  sales to other regions,  was the
primary reason for the sales decrease.
   
     The Company's cost of sales  increased to $2,669,607  (98% of sales) during
the period ended June 30, 1998 from  $1,654,095 (59% of sales) during the period
ended June 30,  1997.  During  the  period  ended  June 30,  1998,  we  recorded
adjustments  to  inventory  of  approximately  $911,000  to write off excess and
obsolete  inventory as well as "start-up" costs associated with the introduction
of new products such as set-up fees, expedited product deliveries and low-volume
pricing for purchased parts on initial production runs.
    
     Selling,  general and  administrative  costs  decreased to $868,070 (32% of
sales) during the current  period from $926,780 (33% of sales) during the period
ended June 30,  1997.  The  decreased  level of expenses  for the period was, in
part, a result of lower commission expenses.

   
     Research and development  expenditures increased to $708,700 (26% of sales)
during the current  period from  $572,079 (20% of sales) during the period ended
June 30, 1997.  The  increased  level of expenses for the period was a result of
the Company's  redirection  of efforts to marketing our newer lines of products,
the result of which was to raise the urgency for finishing the development phase
of the  newer  lines  and to  develop  new,  optional  features  that  could  be
incorporated into both new and current product lines.
    
     Net interest  expense  increased from $162,961 in the period ended June 30,
1997 to  $198,217  in the  current  period  due  mainly  to an  increase  in the
Company's debt level.

     Based on the  decreases  in margins  and higher  research  and  development
costs,  the Company  experienced  a net loss of  ($1,726,629)  during the period
ended June 30, 1998 as compared with a net loss of ($504,319)  during the period
ended June 30, 1997.

     The Company's new-orders-booked  (Bookings) decreased to $3,118,962 for the
current period from $5,341,368 for the period ended June 30, 1997.

     The Company's level of  unfilled-orders-to-ship  (Backlog) increased 45% to
$6,202,307 for the current period from $4,269,002 at June 30, 1997 primarily due
to the record  level of  Bookings  received  during  prior  periods.  Due to the
continuing  nature of the economic  crisis in Asia,  the Company has  eliminated
approximately $990,000 from its December 31, 1997 backlog associated with orders
from the region.

     Results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 compared
to the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, were as follows:

     The Company's net sales increased 20% to $6,666,465 during the period ended
June 30, 1998 from $5,552,264 during the six month period ended June 30, 1997 as
a result of the  Company's  introduction  of new  products  during and after the
prior period.  A substantial  portion of the sales  increase (17% of sales) came
from the new  "High-Speed"  product  lines that have enjoyed  tremendous  market
acceptance. Other products which contributed to the increase were the RCS-10 and
RCS-20 subsystems with their associated  modems,  the new DMD-2401 modem and the
RF product lines.

     The Company's  cost of sales as a percentage of net sales  increased to 81%
during the period ended June 30, 1998 from 60% during the six month period ended
June 30, 1997.  Start-up costs  associated  with the delivery of new products to
the market accounted for the major portion of the increase in costs. The Company
expensed $911,000 to revalue inventory including revisions to standard costs and
a provision for obsolescence.

     Selling,  general and administrative  costs decreased to $1,737,556 (26% of
sales) during the current period from  $1,738,061  (31% of sales) during the six
month  period ended June 30, 1997.  The  reduction as a percentage  of sales was
primarily due to the increased level of sales for the period.

     Research  and  development  expenditures  increased to  $1,367,644  (21% of
sales)  during the period  ended June 30,  1998 from  $1,123,721  (20% of sales)
during the six month period ended June 30, 1997. The increased level of expenses
for the period is a result of the  Company's  continued  commitment to invest in
its future through  technological  advances and its efforts to improve our older
product lines for manufacturability and lower costs.

     Net interest expense increased from $335,048 (6% of sales) in the six month
period ended June 30, 1997 to $375,819  (6% of sales) in the current  period due
to an increase in the Company's debt level.

     Based on the increases in costs and expenses as outlined above, the Company
experienced a net loss of ($2,238,989)  during the period ended June 30, 1998 as
compared  with a net loss of  ($978,472)  during the six  months  ended June 30,
1997.

     The Company's new-orders-booked  (Bookings) increased 10% to $8,054,709 for
the six month  period ended June 30, 1998 from  $7,348,001  for the period ended
June 30, 1997. This

<PAGE>

increase was primarily due to the successful introduction of certain new product
lines to the market during and after the period ended June 30, 1997.

     The Company's level of  unfilled-orders-to-ship  (Backlog) increased 45% to
$6,202,307 at June 30, 1998 from  $4,269,002  at June 30, 1997  primarily due to
the increased  Bookings referred to above and like increases in the previous six
months. Due to the continuing nature of the economic crisis in Asia, the Company
has  eliminated  approximately  $990,000  from its  December  31,  1997  backlog
associated with orders from the region.

Year 2000 Issue

     The Company is in the process of performing a  comprehensive  review of its
Year 2000 issues and has completed its review of internal systems.  The majority
of the Company's application software programs are purchased from and maintained
by vendors.  Therefore,  the Company is working with these  software  vendors to
verify these applications become Year 2000 compliant.

     The  Company  presently  believes  that with  modifications  and updates to
existing  software,  the cost of which is not expected to be material,  the Year
2000 problem will not pose  significant  operational  problems for the Company's
internal systems.

     As part of the Company's  comprehensive  review, it is continuing to verify
the Year 2000 readiness of third parties  (vendors and customers)  with whom the
Company has material  relationships.  The Company is not able to  determine  the
effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity and financial condition
in the event the  Company's  material  vendors and  customers  are not Year 2000
compliant.  The Company  will  continue to monitor the  progress of its material
vendors and customers  and  formulate a  contingency  plan at that point in time
when the  Company  does not  believe  a  material  vendor  or  customer  will be
compliant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's  working capital deficit was ($5,063,050) at June 30, 1998, a
decrease in working  capital of  ($6,717,907)  from  $1,654,857  at December 31,
1997. The proceeds of a $5,368,272 short term loan from affiliate ST, were used,
in part, to satisfy the $4,500,000 long term debt to a bank. This action and the
current  period  loss are the  primary  reasons  for the  reduction  in  working
capital.

     Net cash used in operating  activities was $389,969 for the current period,
as compared to $2,617,733 used in the six-month  period ended June 30, 1997. The
primary  reason for the reduction of cash used for operating  activities  during
the  current  period was changes in  inventory  levels and  accounts  payable to
affiliates.

     Cash used in investing  activities,  consisting  of additions to equipment,
was  $215,468 for the current  period as compared to the prior period  amount of
$356,282.

     The Company  derived net cash from  financing  activities  of $849,393  and
$3,954,324  during the periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The
primary reason for the  difference in cash  generated from financing  activities
during the respective periods was the sale of common stock in 1997.


     As a result of the  foregoing,  the Company  increased its cash balances by
$243,956 during the current  period,  compared to an increase in cash balance of
$980,309 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997.

     The  Company  believes  that its  working  capital,  along with  borrowings
available  from  its  bank  and  other  commitments  from  its  affiliates,  and
anticipated  cash flow from  operations  will provide  adequate  sources to fund
operations for at least the next twelve months.
