3.  INCOME TAXES

A  $485,000  tax  benefit  was  recognized  in the  second  quarter of 1996 from
reducing the  Company's  deferred tax  valuation  allowance  and  recognizing  a
deferred tax asset. The
<PAGE>
                                      II-7

recognized  deferred tax asset is based upon  utilization  of net operating loss
carryforwards and the reversal of certain temporary differences.


4.  SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION

Other revenue in second  quarter of 1996 included  $997,096 of income  related a
settlement the Company reached in June, 1996 with a state organization involving
a technology development contract. The Company also received exclusive rights to
the contested technology in the Jerome toxic gas monitors product line.


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in
its entirety  by, the  Company's  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and Notes
thereto  appearing  elsewhere  herein.  Historical  results are not  necessarily
indicative of trends in operating results for any future period.


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

Results of Operations:

         Six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 9% to $6,465,843 from
$5,951,044  in the first six  months of 1995.  The  increase  in sales  resulted
primarily  from the increase in ENCOMPASS fuel  management  and compliance  leak
detection systems and ENCOMPASS related installation sales.

Historically,  due to the  relatively  short  time  period  between  receipt  of
customer  equipment  orders and shipments,  the Company's  backlog for equipment
orders has been quite low.  However,  backlog for Horizon tank testing  services
was  $295,000 at the end of the second  quarter of 1996  compared to $596,000 at
the end of the  second  quarter of 1995.  The  decrease  in  Horizon  backlog is
primarily due to a decrease in tank testing sales.

Cost of goods sold was 45% of net sales in the first six months of 1996 compared
to 45% for the same period in 1995.

Overall,  total expenses in the first six months of 1996  increased  $325,540 or
11%, from the same period in 1995. This was primarily the result of the $168,309
increase in marketing  expenses to support the higher sales and installations of
the  ENCOMPASS  systems and the $57,755  increase  in research  and  development
expenses.
<PAGE>
                                      II-8

Marketing  expenses  increased  12%, or $168,309 in the first six months of 1996
compared to the same period in 1995. Marketing expenses increased primarily as a
result of the  increase  in sales and  service  related  activity to support the
higher level of ENCOMPASS  equipment  and  installations  related  sales volume.
Marketing expenses are anticipated to increase in 1996 compared to 1995.

General and  administrative  expenses  increased $46,650 or 4%, in the first six
months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  General and  administrative
expenses increased primarily from increased  administrative  expenses to support
increased ENCOMPASS sales and installation activity.

Research and development  expenses  increased  $57,755 or 20%, for the first six
months of 1996 compared to the same period of 1995. The increase in research and
development  expenses was primarily the result of a planned increase in research
and development personnel to support the new product development  activities for
all the Company's various product lines.  Research and development  expenses are
anticipated to increase in 1996 compared to 1995.

Other revenue  increased  $1,081,911 in the first six months of 1996 as compared
to the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily the result of $997,096 of
other  income  the  Company  recognized  in  the  second  quarter  related  to a
settlement the Company reached in June, 1996 with a state organization involving
a technology development contract. The Company also received exclusive rights to
the  contested  technology  in the  Jerome  product  line.  Other  revenue  also
increased as a result of lower  interest  expense on decreased  borrowing on the
Company's bank lines of credit and in long-term debt.

Income taxes  decreased  $420,000 in the first six months of 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995. The decrease was primarily the result of a $485,000 tax
benefit  being  recognized  in the second  quarter from  reducing the  Company's
deferred tax  valuation  allowance  and  recognizing  a deferred tax asset.  The
recognized  deferred tax asset is based upon  utilization  of net operating loss
carryforwards and reversal of certain temporary differences.


         Three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995

Net sales for the second  quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased 2% to $3,181,412
from  $3,123,952 in the second  quarter of 1995.  The increase in sales resulted
primarily  from the increase in ENCOMPASS fuel  management  and compliance  leak
detection systems and ENCOMPASS related installation sales.

Cost of goods sold was 44% of net sales in the second  quarter of 1996  compared
to 43% for the same period in 1995.

Overall,  total expenses in the second quarter of 1996 increased $118,365 or 8%,
from the same
<PAGE>
                                      II-9

period in 1995.  This was  primarily  the  result  of the  $65,316  increase  in
marketing  expenses  to  support  the  higher  sales  and  installations  of the
ENCOMPASS systems and the $30,983 increase in research and development expenses.

Marketing  expenses  increased  9%, or  $65,316  in the  second  quarter of 1996
compared to the same period in 1995. Marketing expenses increased primarily as a
result of the  increase  in sales and  service  related  activity to support the
higher level of ENCOMPASS  equipment  and  installations  related  sales volume.
Marketing expenses are anticipated to increase in 1996 compared to 1995.

General and administrative expenses decreased $2,293 or in the second quarter of
1996 compared to the same period in 1995.

Research  and  development  expenses  increased  $30,983  or 22%,  in the second
quarter of 1996  compared to the same period of 1995.  The  increase in research
and  development  expenses  was  primarily  the result of a planned  increase in
research  and  development  personnel  to support  the new  product  development
activities for all the Company's various product lines. Research and development
expenses are anticipated to increase in 1996 compared to 1995.

Other revenue increased  $1,023,648 in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995.  The increase was  primarily  the result of $997,096 of
other  income  the  Company  recognized  in  the  second  quarter  related  to a
settlement the Company reached in June, 1996 with a state organization involving
a technology development contract. The Company also received exclusive rights to
the  contested  technology  in the  Jerome  product  line.  Other  revenue  also
increased as a result of lower  interest  expense on decreased  borrowing on the
Company's bank lines of credit and long-term debt.

Income taxes decreased $421,000 in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the
same period in 1995.  The  decrease was  primarily  the result of a $485,000 tax
benefit  being  recognized  in the second  quarter from  reducing the  Company's
deferred tax  valuation  allowance  and  recognizing  a deferred tax asset.  The
recognized  deferred tax asset is based upon  utilization  of net operating loss
carryforwards and reversal of certain temporary differences.

The Company has  historically  experienced and expects to continue to experience
quarterly  fluctuations,  potentially  in a material  amount,  in its  operating
results.  A variety of factors  influence the Company's  operating  results in a
particular period, including economic conditions in the industries served by the
Company,  regulatory  developments,  the timing of significant orders,  shipment
delays,  specific features  requested by the customers,  the introduction of new
products by the Company and its competitors,  market  acceptance of new products
and  enhancements  of  existing  products,  changes  in the  cost of  materials,
disruptions  in the  sources of  supply,  seasonal  variations  of  spending  by
customers,  the timing of the Company's  expenditures  in anticipation of future
orders and other  factors,  many of which are beyond the Company's  control.  In
addition, the Company sells a significant portion of its ENCOMPASS products to a
limited number of
<PAGE>
                                      II-10

customers. While management believes that its relationships with these customers
are good,  future  orders under  purchase  agreements  with these  customers are
subject to change based on changing  business  conditions of the customers.  One
large customer was acquired  during the second quarter of 1996 and  consequently
future purchases of ENCOMPASS by this customer are currently being  re-evaluated
by the new parent company.

Except for the historical  information  contained herein, the discussion in this
Report contains or may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ  materially from those
discussed  here.  Factors  that could cause or  contribute  to such  differences
include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this Management's Discussion
and Analysis,  the Company's Prospectus dated February 18, 1994 or the Company's
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December  31,  1995,  as well as those
factors discussed elsewhere herein.


Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Net working  capital  increased 27% to $4,241,178 in the first half of 1996 from
$3,332,424 at December 31, 1995.  The current  ratio  increased to 2.8 from 2.3.
The increases in working capital and the current ratio were primarily due to the
increase in the settlement receivable.

The Company  currently has two lines of credit available  through Silicon Valley
Bank  ("the  Bank"),  collateralized  by  accounts  receivable,  inventory,  and
property,  plant and equipment which provide for an aggregate maximum commitment
of  $2,500,000  through  March 15, 1997.  Advances can be made against the lines
based on qualified  levels of  receivables  and  inventory.  At July 20, 1996 an
aggregate of $1,836,841  was  available  under the lines of credit of which none
had  been  drawn.  The  Company  was in  compliance  with  all of the  financial
covenants at June 30, 1996.

On April 14, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Classic Syndicate,
Inc. ("Classic").  Pursuant to the Subordinated Loan Agreement,  Classic holds a
10% Note in the  principal  amount of $375,000 with a maturity date of April 30,
1997.  The funds were to be used  exclusively  for the April 30, 1995  principal
payment on a Subordinated  Note to Bridge Capital which was completely  paid off
in 1995.  Semi-annual  interest  payments  are to be made on April 30,  1996 and
October 31, 1996.

On November 17, 1995, the Company entered into a second agreement with the Bank.
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Bank holds a Note in the principal amount of
$1,041,667 at an interest rate of prime plus 2% and a warrant to purchase 62,500
shares of the  Company's  Common Stock at an exercise  price of $2.08 per share.
The  Company is  required  to pay 42 monthly  principal  payments  of $29,762 in
addition to monthly interest payments from December 7, 1995 through May 7, 1999.
The Note is  cross-collateralized  with the Company's bank lines of credit until
the Note is fully repaid. The Note contains certain covenants, including minimum
net income levels and certain  financial  ratios.  The Company was in compliance
with all these  covenants at June 30, 1996.  On a quarterly  basis,  half of any
excess cash flow that the Company
<PAGE>
                                      II-11

generates is required to be used to prepay any remaining  principal  balance due
on this Note.  Excess cash flow is defined as net income plus non-cash  expenses
less capital  expenditures,  scheduled  principal  payments and increases in net
working capital.

The  Company  believes  that cash  generated  from  ongoing  operations  and the
borrowing  arrangements  described  above  will  satisfy  the  anticipated  cash
requirements of the Company's current operations over the next 12 months, though
there can be no assurance that this will be the case.  The Company's  ability to
continue funding its planned  operations  beyond the next 12 months is dependent
upon its ability to generate  sufficient  cash flow to meet its obligations on a
timely basis, or to obtain additional funds though equity or debt financing,  or
from other sources of financing, as may be required.
