information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements
regarding the Company's future financial performance, the effect of government
regulations, national and local economic conditions, the competitive environment
in which the Company operates, results or success of discussions with other
entities on mergers, acquisitions, or alliance possibilities and expansion of
product offering. Actual results may differ materially from those described in
the forward-looking statement. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of
important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any
forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of
the Company either oral or written.

of a normal recurring nature and are necessary to present fairly the Company's

</TABLE>


At December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of
approximately $3,540,000 for federal income tax purposes expiring in varying
amounts through 2019. The NOL carryforwards, which are available to offset
future profits of the Company and are subject to limitations should a "change in
ownership" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code occur, will begin to expire
in 2001 if not utilized. Additionally, the Company has general business tax
credit carryforwards of $174,109 which will begin to expire in 1999.

SFAS 109 requires that the tax benefit of such NOLs be recorded using current
tax rates as an asset to the extent management assesses the utilization of such
NOLs to be more likely than not. Management has determined that future taxable
income of the Company will likely not be sufficient to realize the recorded
deferred tax asset of $1,281,000. As such, the Company has recorded a valuation
allowance of $1,281,000.

Realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL carryforwards is dependent on
a Company's ability to generate taxable income within the carryforward period.
In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing NOL carryforwards,
management considered the historical results of continuing operations, the
current economic environment in which the Company operates, and the


                                      - 7 -
<PAGE>


projected results of the Company's cost-cutting measures as well as sales
projections. Management did not consider any non-routine transactions in
assessing the likelihood of realization of the recorded deferred tax asset.

7.       During the six months ended September 30, 1999, the Company issued an
         aggregate of 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock as a form of
         compensation to retain the Hudson Consulting Group, Inc. to assist the
         Company in acquisitions and mergers and assist with creating a market
         for the securities of the Company.

8.       During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company issued 20,000
         shares of Common Stock to Mr. Mazin under the 1985 Employee Stock
         Option Plan for consideration of $18,750.00.

9.       During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company repurchased an
         aggregate of 6,700 shares of the Company's Common Stock on the open
         markt for an aggregate value of $5,618.

10.      During the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company reacquired
         27,800 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to a legal
         settlement with the estate of a former shareholder.

11.      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 for the third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1999 were $387,000
compared to $396,000 in the year-earlier period. Net sales for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999 increased approximately 9% to $1,383,000 from $1,271,000
in the year-earlier period. Upon losing its major customer in fiscal 1997, the
Company focused on increasing business with its existing customers as well as
pursuing new business. As a result of these efforts, sales have increased.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales has increased during the current
fiscal year. The increase primarily relates to an increase in the material cost
of the gases used in the Company's principal selling product line of compressed
gas dusters. The Company began realizing this cost increase during the quarter
ended September 30, 1999.

During April 1999, the Company signed an agreement with the Hudson Consulting
Group, Inc. to assist the Company in acquisitions and mergers and assist with
creating a market for the securities of the Company. Included in Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 1999
is $52,732 consulting expense which represents the value of an aggregate of
75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock which were issued to the Hudson
Consulting Group for their services. During the quarter ended December 31, 1999,
the Company terminated this agreement.

In August 1999, one of the Company's customers filed a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
Petition. This customer accounted for less than 10% of the Company's net sales.
Included in Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the nine months
ended December 31, 1999 is a $77,000 allowance for doubtful receivables related
to this customer.

The Company continues to tightly control expenditures. During the first quarter
ended June 30, 1999 it successfully found a sub-tenant to occupy a portion of
its facility, thereby helping to reduce the Company's overhead costs.

The substantial increase in Other Income for the quarter ended December 31, 1999
primarily relates to realized gains on investments. During December 1999, the
Company sold its stock in El Guapo Foods to McCormick Co. and realized a gain of
approximately $84,000, which represents the single largest gain for the quarter.

PerfectData's management has continually sought out potential merger and joint
venture partners for strategic growth opportunities.

Subsequent to the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the Company announced, on
January 25, 2000, it had executed an agreement with an investor group pursuant
to which the investors will provide equity capital and purchase newly issued
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The investor group would subsequently hold
28% of the Company's stock. Consummation of the purchase is subject to the
Company obtaining shareholder approval. If approved, an investment advisor
agreement will become effective pursuant to which advisors will assist the
Company in making acquisitions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The cash position at December 31, 1999 is $1,137,000 including certificates of
deposit of $257,000. The Company has a current ratio of better than 8 to 1 and
no long-term debt.

Management believes that the Company's liquidity and working capital
requirements are adequate to fund the Company's Operations and Capital
requirements for the 2000 fiscal year.

YEAR 2000

The Company has completed its Year 2000 ("Y2K") Project ("Project") as
scheduled, including addressing leap year calendar date calculation concerns.
The possibility of significant interruptions of normal operations has been
reduced. As of February 8, 2000, the Company's products, computing, and
communications infrastructure systems have operated without Y2K related problems
and appear to be Y2K ready. The Company is not aware that any of its major
customers or third-party suppliers have experienced significant Y2K related
problems.

The Company believes all its critical systems are Y2K ready. However, there is
no guarantee that the Company has discovered all possible failure points.
Specific factors contributing to this uncertainty include failure to identify
all systems, non-ready third parties whose systems and operations impact the
Company, and other similar uncertainties.

Contingency plans are complete and will be implemented if required. Should a
significant problem occur, the Company would revert to standard manual
contingency procedures to continue operation until the problem is corrected.

Readers are cautioned that forward looking statements contained in the Year 2000
Update should be read in conjunction with the Company's disclosures under the
heading "Forward Looking Statements".
