5.  Net earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of 
    shares outstanding during each of the respective periods. Common stock 
    equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares 
    outstanding as their effect is immaterial or antidilutive.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales from continuing operations for the first fiscal quarter ended June 
30, 1997 were $1,452,000 compared to $1,436,000 in the year-earlier period.

The decline in net earnings from continuing operations from the year-earlier 
period is related to increased sales during the current period to 
warehouse/superstore accounts, with a decline in sales to office products 
catalog customers.  Products sold to warehouse/superstore accounts have lower 
profit margins.

As previously discussed in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 1997, the Company reached a settlement with a former employee 
during the current quarter to settle two legal actions.  The loss on 
discontinued operations for the current quarter is due to legal fees incurred 
relative to the settlement.

As previously disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 1997, during June the Company learned that its bid for the 
continuing business of PriceCostco had been rejected.  For the quarter ended 
June 30, 1997, PriceCostco accounted for 43% of the Company's total sales.  
The Company will realize the loss of this business during the second fiscal 
quarter ended September 30, 1997.  The loss of this customer could possibly 
have a significant adverse effect on future earnings of the Company.  As a 
result, the Company has begun implementing severe cost cutting measures as 
well as develop programs to gain new customers, new products and promotions 
to increase business with existing accounts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash position at June 30, 1997 was $760,000 including 
certificates of deposit of $160,000.   Working capital at June 30, 1997 was 
$2,924,000 compared to $2,940,000 at fiscal year end.  The Company has a 
current ratio of better than 8 to 1 at the end of the first quarter.  

As discussed, during the quarter the Company reached a settlement with a 
former employee.  As part of the settlement, the Company paid the former 
employee $185,000.  These funds were paid from the litigation deposit the 
Company made when it appealed the judgement.  The bond and litigation deposit 
have been reduced as agreed upon by both parties pending the resolution of 
the attorney's fees owed the former employee's counsel.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In November 1995, in the Superior Court of Ventura County, California, a 
former employee won an award against the Company for $203,403.  The lawsuit 
related to the termination, in October 1993, of an employment contract 
entered into between the Company and the individual during July 1993.  The 
Company appealed this award and posted an appeal bond with the Court.  On 
March 31, 1997 the Appeals Court issued its opinion affirming the judgement 
against the Company.  The judgement became final on April 30, 1997.

In December 1995, in the United States District Court, Northern District of 
California, the Company filed a complaint against the same former employee 
and his company alleging that they copied PerfectData's trademark and trade 
dress.  On December 21, 1995, the Court granted the Company's motions for a 
restraining order and preliminary injunction which enjoin the defendants from 
the manufacture and distribution of the product in question.  This case had 
been set for trial December 1, 1997.

During May 1997, the parties reached a global settlement of both actions.  
The Company paid the former employee the sum of $185,000 in exchange for its 
right to seek further appeal.  Defendants in the trademark infringement 
action have agreed to assign and transfer any and all right, title and 
interest in the trademark, trade name, and trade dress of their canned air 
product "Perfect Cleaner" and any and all goodwill of the Perfect Cleaner 
business to the Company.  The former employee and his company have further 
agreed not to sell a canned air product in the United States or Canada for 
three years.  Unresolved is the amount of attorney's fees owed to the former 
employee's counsel for services rendered during the Company's appeal of the 
original judgement against the Company.  The parties agreed to have the issue 
decided by a judge.  On July 21, 1997, a hearing was held in the Superior 
Court of Ventura County, California.  As of the date of this Form 10-Q 
filing, no ruling has been made.

Item 6.  EXHIBITS AND REPORTS ON FORM 8-K

         (a)  Exhibits.

              Inapplicable.

         (b)  Reports on Form 8-K.

              No report on Form 8-K was filed during the quarter for which this
              report is filed.
