    for an aggregate value of $2,379.

6.  Net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales from continuing operations for the second fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 1996 was $1,474,000 compared to $1,495,000 in the year-earlier
period.  Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 1996 were $2,910,000
compared to $3,002,000 in the year-earlier period.  Although sales have
decreased a modest 3% due to lower selling prices, unit volume has increased
more than 13% from the year-earlier periods.

In June of 1996 the Company appointed a new Director of Sales and Marketing, Mr.
Al Pramschufer.  Mr. Pramschufer came to PerfectData with vast experience and an
accomplished background, having served as Vice President of Sales and Marketing
at several corporations.

The Company took an aggressive sales posture, reducing selling prices on some
items and penetrating new markets.  Registrant further expanded its distribution
subsequent to the quarter's end by becoming the approved vendor to the 300+
dealers of the National Purchasing Association.  PerfectData also strengthened
its field sales apparatus with the addition of several new key sales
representative organizations.

The decline in net earnings from continuing operations from the year-earlier
period is directly related to lower selling prices.  Management continues to
monitor and tighten cost controls including an aggressive approach to product
purchasing.  Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company
restructured and downsized as well as lowered its product costs.

As previously discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1996, the Company appealed the judgement awarded a former employee
relating to an employment contract.  The loss on discontinued operations at
September 30, 1996 is due to legal fees incurred relative to the appeal.

Unit sales and market share are monitored regularly to position the Company for
accelerated growth and profitability.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position.  Current assets
were $3,709,000 compared to current liabilities of $692,000 at September 30,
1996 for a current ratio of better than 5 to 1.  Working capital at September
30, 1996 was $3,017,000 compared to $2,935,000 at fiscal year end.  

The Company continues to maintain a line of credit for $1,000,000, which it has
not yet used.  Management believes that future working capital requirements will
be provided primarily from operations and that the Company's liquidity and
working capital requirements are adequate for the foreseeable future. 
Management feels that the Company's credit worthiness is substantial, relative
to its size.
