     aggregate of 2,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on the open market,
     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 third fiscal quarter ended 
December 31, 1996 were $1,387,000 compared to $1,408,000 in the year-earlier 
period.  Net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 were 
$4,297,000 compared to $4,410,000 in the year-earlier period.  Although sales 
have decreased a modest 3% due to lower selling prices, unit volume has 
increased approx. 12% from the year-earlier periods.

As previously discussed, 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 also took an aggressive sales posture, reducing selling prices on 
some items as well as focusing on new markets.  During the quarter ended 
December 31, 1996, The Company expanded its distribution channels by becoming 
an approved vendor to the 300+ dealers of the National Purchasing 
Association. Subsequent to the quarter's end, the Company was also named an 
approved vendor to the 200+ dealers of Office Network, a national office 
supply buying and marketing group,

The decline in net earnings from continuing operations from the year-earlier 
period is directly related to lower selling prices.  During September 1996, 
the Company restructured and downsized in an effort to minimize its operating 
costs while maintaining a high level of efficiency.  The Company continues 
its aggressive approach to product purchasing on an ongoing basis.

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 
December 31, 1996 is due to legal fees incurred relative to the appeal.

Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company received two 
unsolicited bids from the Polak Investment Group to acquire a controlling 
interest in the Company.  The Board of Directors considered and rejected both 
bids as being inadequate.

The Board of Directors of PerfectData has made a bid to acquire Novaquest 
InfoSystems, a privately held company with annual sales of approximately $200 
million.  There is no assurance that this transaction will be completed, but
the Company will be working diligently to pursue this or other business 
opportunities that will enhance shareholder value.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company continues to maintain a strong financial position.  Cash and cash 
equivalents increased to $923,000 as of December 31, 1996 from $711,000 as of 
March 31, 1996.  Current assets were $3,625,000 compared to current 
liabilities of $585,000 at December 31, 1996 for a current ratio of 6 to 1.  
Working capital at December 31, 1996 was $3,040,000 compared to $2,935,000 at 
fiscal year end.  

During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company renewed its 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.
