Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1999,  which could
cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from those in the  forward-looking

also urged carefully to review and consider the various  disclosures  made by us
which  attempt to advise  interested  parties of the  factors  which  affect our

"Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation." All references to a

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales  during the third  quarter  ended  September  30,  2000  increased  15% to
$1,621,109  compared to sales of  $1,415,555  for the same  period in 1999.  The
increase  in sales was  primarily  due to an  increase  in sales of our  Digital
Subscriber Line (DSL) Test Equipment.

Cost of sales for the third  quarter of $781,653  (or 48.2% of sales)  increased
compared to the $665,086 (or 47.0% of sales) during the same period in 1999. The
decrease in our profit  margin  percentage  was  primarily a function of product
mix.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  costs for the third  quarter of $474,894
increased  by  $68,832  from  $406,062  during the third  quarter  of 1999.  The
increase  during the third  quarter was due  primarily  to expenses  incurred by
Nextday.com,  a  wholly  owned  e-commerce  subsidiary,  and  promotion  of  the
Company's DSL product line. In particular,  the Company  participated  at DSLcon
'00 Asia held in Hong Kong and DSLcon '00 Fall held in Boston.  Also  during the
third quarter,  the Company  announced the  appointment of Mr. Jim Wright as its
new Vice President,  Chief Marketing Officer of Broadband  Products.  Mr. Wright
will lead the  Company's  program  in  marketing  DSL test  equipment  and other
Broadband  Products.  Mr.  Wright  has  more  than 30  years  experience  in the
telecommunications  industry,  including  most  recently  as General  Manager of
Consultronics,  Inc., a leading  supplier of broadband test equipment  including
local loop simulators.

Research and development expenses for the third quarter of $135,001 increased by
$10,349 from $124,652 during the same quarter in 1999. During the third quarter,
we continued the development of our Universal  Serial Bus (USB) product line and
expect to introduce  our first USB products  during the fourth  quarter of 2000.
The USB products that should be introduced in the fourth quarter of 2000 include
a USB-to-EIA 232 converter, a USB-to-RS 422 converter, a USB-to-RS 485 converter
and a USB-to-Fiber  converter.  During the third quarter,  the Company completed
the development of a multi-line  wire line  simulator,  the Model 458, which can
simulate  up to 16 local loops up to 20,500  feet each.  The Company  expects to
begin shipping the model 458 during the fourth quarter of 2000.

Interest  income  increased to $11,641 during the third quarter of 2000 compared
to $873 for the same period in 1999.  This  increase in interest  income was due
primarily to higher levels of cash on deposit. During the third quarter of 2000,
we had rental income of $12,048,  which was in line with the comparable  quarter
of 1999.

The effective tax rate in third quarter of 2000 was 35.9%,  compared with 37.7 %
in same quarter in 1999.

The net earnings of $145,523 or $.09 diluted per share for the third  quarter of
2000  increased  13.4%  compared to the net earnings of $128,313 or $.10 diluted
per  share in the same  quarter  in  1999.  The  increase  in  profitability  is
attributed to the increase in sales during the third quarter of 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating  activities  for the nine months ended  September
30,  2000 was  $749,638  compared  to net cash  provided of $317,549 in the same
period of 1999. This change was due primarily to an increase in net earnings.

Working  capital  increased as of September  30, 2000 by $471,522 to  $2,738,479
compared  with  $2,266,957  from  December  31,  1999.  The current  ratio as of
September  30, 2000  increased  to 4.90:1  compared to 4.37:1 as of December 31,
1999.

We have an agreement with a financial institution, which provides us with a line
of  credit of up to  $500,000  based on our  eligible  accounts  receivable  and
purchased components and materials and finished goods inventories, as defined in
the agreement.  Further, the agreement contains certain financial covenants that
require  us to  maintain  a minimum  level of  tangible  net  worth  and  places
limitations on the ratio of our total debt to our tangible net worth, as defined
in the  agreement.  Borrowings  under the line of credit  bear  interest  at the
bank's  specified  prime rate plus .75%.  There was no outstanding  indebtedness
under this line of credit as of September 30, 2000.

In January 1999, we secured an additional reducing revolving line of credit from
the same  institution  that  provides for initial  borrowings up to a maximum of
$1,000,000.  Availability  under the reducing revolving line of credit decreases
by  approximately  $11,900  per  month,  and  the  line  expires  January  2006.
Availability  under  this  line  at of  September  30,  2000  was  approximately
$524,000.  Borrowings  under this loan  agreement  bear  interest  at the 30-Day
Commercial  Paper  Rate plus  2.90%.  Net  borrowings  under this line of credit
totaled $237,895 at September 30, 2000.

We  believe  that  cash  generated  by our  operations,  current  cash  and cash
equivalents,  and the lines of credit should supply sufficient cash resources to
meet our cash needs for the next 12 months.
