The Company is a co-defendant or is defendant in various lawsuits. 
In one of these lawsuits the plaintiff sought damages for alleged
interference with its business.  On October 27, 1995 a jury awarded
$435,177 for compensatory damages plus interest from January 14,
1990, but a final judgement has not been entered by the court
pending the outcome of post trial motions.  The Company provides
for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the
amount is reasonably determinable.  In this situation, the Company
believes that the evidence does not support any liability and has
filed a motion with the court to set aside the verdict.  It is
therefore the opinion of management, based on advice of counsel,
that the ultimate resolution of this contingency will not have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.

Managements' Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues for the second quarter and six months ended September 30,
1995 were $9.1 million and $18 million respectively.  Comparable
revenues for the same periods in the prior year were $10.6 million
and $24.7 million.  Substantially all of the revenue decrease in
the six months ending September 30, 1995 was due to the termination
of the very large USMC contract early in the first quarter of the
prior year.

Operating margin percentages for the second quarter and year to
date through September 30, 1995 improved slightly over the same
periods for the prior year because of increased efficiencies
associated with communication contracts and termination of the low
margin USMC contract.  The ratio of costs of services and of
general and administrative expenses to revenue, decreased and
increased, respectively as a result of the change in business mix.

Litigation expenses of $260,000 in the three and six month periods
ending September 30, 1995 include legal costs associated with a
trial of a lawsuit described below.  Interest expense decreased
$24,000 in the second quarter ending September 30, 1995 and $91,000
in the six months then ended from the comparable periods in the
prior fiscal year due to a reduction in borrowings.

Net income for the second quarter was $27,000 compared with
$215,000 for the same quarter of the prior year.  For the six
months ending September 30, 1995, net income was $215,000 compared
with $402,000 for the prior year.  Operating income in the second
quarter was largely offset by the legal costs associated with the
trial.


Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The Company's financial position at September 30, 1995 remains
strong.  The Company had $7.9 million of working capital at
September 30, 1995 and a current ratio of 2.44:1.  The debt to
equity ratio improved to 1.37:1 and the Company has almost $5
million of its $7 million credit facility available to finance
growth.

Cash flows from operations were $1,468,000 for the first six months
of fiscal year 1996 as compared with $2,343,000 in the comparable
period of 1995.  The $215,000 in net income for the period combined
with decreases in working capital accounts provided cash inflows
sufficient to repay long term debt by approximately $875,000.  The
Company expects that cash generated from operations and the
Company's line of credit will be sufficient to meet its normal
operating requirements in the foreseeable future.
