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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 2, 1995 AND AUGUST 27, 1994

SALES

Sales increased by $3.2 million, or 28.1% from $11.3 million for the three
months ended August 27, 1994 to $14.5 million for the three months ended
September 2, 1995. The increase in sales is a result of an increase in
Wireless Cable product sales offset by a decrease in Satellite Television
product sales. Sales of Wireless Cable products increased $5.5 million, or
112%, from $4.9 million to $10.4 million. Sales of Satellite Television
products decreased $2.3 million ,or 36%, from $6.4 million to $4.1 million.
The increases in Wireless Cable sales resulted primarily from strong demand
internationally for the Company's subscriber reception equipment and sales of
its newly introduced broadband scrambling system, MultiCipher. The decreases
in Satellite Television product sales is a result of continual softness in
the domestic market relating to the introduction of the DBS system and the
Company's decision to be more selective in product offerings in certain
international markets.

GROSS PROFITS AND GROSS MARGINS

Gross profits increased by $1.5 million, or 44% from $3.4 million to $4.9
million, while gross margins increased from 30% to 33.6%. The 44% increase in
gross profits is a result of a 28.1% increase in sales and the 3.6% rate
improvement in gross margins. The increase in gross margin is a result of
sales product mix changes as well as improvements from cost reduction
programs in product designs.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and development expenses increased by $324,000 from $735,000 to $1.1
million. The increase was due to personnel additions, including a vice
president of engineering, increased salaries and increased equipment
depreciation. The Company's current development focus is to broaden the
Company's Wireless Cable product line for subscriber reception equipment,
continue its development of MultiCipher products, and the development of a KU
DBS related product for Satellite Television.

Selling expenses increased by $308,000 from $852,000 to $1.2 million. The
increase was due primarily to increased salaries, additional personnel,
including a senior vice president of sales and marketing and increased
coverage in certain international markets.

General and administrative expenses increased by $139,000 from $852,000 to
$991,000. The increase was due primarily to salary increases and accruals
relating to year-end incentive bonuses.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from operations increased $708,000, or 74%, from $958,000 to $1.7
million. The reasons for the increase are increased sales and higher gross
margins offset by increased operating expenses.

INTEREST AND OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET

Interest and other, net decreased $58,000 from a net expense of $78,000 to a
$20,000 net expense. This is primarily a due to increased interest income and
cash discounts during the fiscal year 1996 period.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for taxes for both fiscal year 1996 and 1995 is based upon a
tax rate of 35%. The tax rate is less than the statutory Federal and State
combined rate due primarily to benefits from export sales and research and
development tax credits.

NET INCOME

For reasons outlined above, net income increased $521,000 or 94.7% from
$550,000 to $1,071,000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 2, 1995 AND AUGUST 27, 1994

SALES

Sales increased by $4.7 million, or 20.7%, from $22.5 million for the six
months ended August 27, 1994 to $27.2 million for the six months ended
September 2, 1995. Sales of Wireless Cable products increased $9.2 million,
or 107%, from $8.6 million to $17.8 million. Sales of Satellite Television
products decreased $4.6 million, or 33.6%, from $13.8 million to $9.2
million. The increases in Wireless Cable sales resulted primarily from strong
demand internationally for the Company's subscriber reception equipment and
sales of its newly introduced broadband scrambling system, MultiCipher. The
decreases in Satellite Television product sales is a result of continual
softness in the domestic market relating to the introduction of the DBS
system and the Company's decision to be more selective in product offerings
in certain international markets.

GROSS PROFITS AND GROSS MARGINS

Gross profits increased $2.5 million, or 37%, from $6.6 million to $9.1
million, and gross margins increased from 29.4% to 33.4%. The 37% increase in
gross profits resulted from a 21% increase in sales and a 4% rate improvement
in gross margins. Gross margins improved primarily because of the Company's
sales product mix changes toward Wireless Cable products and a decrease in
sales of low margin Satellite Television products as well as cost reduction
on programs in product design.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and development expenses increased $548,000 from $1.5 million to
$2.0 million. The increases result from personnel additions, including a vice
president of engineering, salary increases, increased depreciation and higher
material purchases. The Company's current development focus is to broaden the
Company's Wireless Cable product line for subscriber reception equipment,
continue its development of MultiCipher products, and the development of a KU
DBS related product for Satellite Television.

Selling expenses increases $367,000 from $1.8 million to $2.2 million. The
increase is primarily a result of increased salaries, additional personnel,
including a senior vice president of sales and marketing and an increased
presence in international markets.

General and Administrative expenses increased $270,000 from $1.7 million $1.9
million. The increase is due primarily to increases salaries, additional
personnel and increased incentive bonus accruals.

INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

Income from Operations increased $1.3 million, or 77%, from $1.7 million to
$2.9 million. The increase is a result of increased sales and improved gross
margins offset by increased operating expenses.

INTEREST AND OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET

Interest and other, net increased $173,000 from an expense, net of $136,000
to a $37,000 income, net. This is primarily due to reduced increased interest
income and cash discounts during the fiscal year 1996 period.

PROVISIONS OF INCOME TAXES

The provision for taxes for fiscal year 1996 and fiscal year 1995 were based
upon a 35% tax rate. The rate is less than the Federal and State combined
rate because of tax benefits due to export sales and research and development
tax credits.

NET INCOME

For the reasons outline above, net income increased $967,000, or 101%, from
$956,000 to $1.9 million.

California United Bank at the bank's prime rate (8.75%) and $700,000
available under a capital equipment facility with NationsBank at the Federal
