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



MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

           At March 31, 1994, the Company had current assets of $810,265 as 
compared to $613,645 at June 30, 1993.  Trade accounts receivable increased 
by $88,942 during the period from $267,484 as of June 30, 1993, to $356,426 
as of March 31, 1994. Inventories increased by $174,599 from $274,555 as of
June 30, 1993, to $449,154 as of March 31, 1994.  Property and equipment 
increased by $308,591 from $506,765 as of June 30, 1993, to $815,356 as of 
March 31, 1994.  Current liabilities increased by $744,582 from $136,620 as of
June 30, 1993, to $881,202 as of March 31, 1994.  The Company has available 
to it,a line of credit.  Overdraft amounts shown on the financial statements
shown herein are amounts utilized in association with the credit line.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

           Net sales for the three month period ending March 31, 1994, were 
$490,870 compared to sales of $443,862 for the same period in the prior year.  
This represents an increase of $47,008, or eleven per cent (11%).  Net sales 
for the nine months ended March 31, 1994, were $1,237,729 compared to 
$1,357,667 for the first nine months of fiscal 1993 for a decrease of $119,938 
or approximately nine per cent (9%) during the period compared to the same 
period a year earlier.  The decrease in sales is primarily attributable 
to the loss of a major customer that no longer uses hardware security 
devices.  The balance of the decrease is attributable to a downturn in 
business for our normal customer base.

           During the nine month period ending March 31, 1994, salaries and 
wages increased by $203,484 from $333,075 to $536,559 for the same period 
a year earlier.  General and administrative expenses increased by $209,566 
during the nine month period ended March 31, 1994, from $482,058 to $691,624 
for the same period a year earlier.  Research and development expenses during
the nine month period ended March 31, 1994, increased by $6,769 from $3,192 to 
$9,961 for the same period a year earlier.  Total operating expenses for 
the period ended March 31, 1994, increased by $532,311 from $855,166 to
$1,387,477 for the same period a year earlier.  This represents an increase 
of approximately sixty-two per cent (62%).  The  increase in salaries and 
wages and general and administrative expenses is due to an increase in 
the number of employees created by the addition and expansion of the 
Company's subsidiary Maxwell Systems.  Research and development costs may 
be understated because some of these expenses are included in either salaries 
and wages or general and administrative expenses.  

           For the three month period ended March 31, 1994, the Company had a 
net operating loss of ($236,033) compared to a net operating loss of 
($131,582) for the three month period ended March 31, 1993.  Net operating 
loss increased by $104,451.  Net loss for the nine month period ended March 
31, 1994, was $436,920 compared to a net income of $41,951 for the same period
a year earlier.  Net loss per share for the nine month period ended March 31, 
1994, was ($0.074) compared to net income per share of $0.007 before 
extraordinary items for the same period a year earlier. 

           The Company's sales increased during the quarter ended March 31, 
1994.  Even though there was an increase in sales, there was an increase in 
salaries and wages and an increase in general and administrative expenses 
during the quarter which resulted in a significant loss.  The Company has 
spent funds to provide various administrative and support services for the 
startup of its subsidiary, Maxwell Systems, Inc.

           The Company's sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 ended March
31, 1994, were eleven per cent higher than the sales for the third quarter of 
fiscal 1993.  The current ratio as of March 31, 1994, was .91 compared to a 
current ratio of 4.49 as of June 30, 1993.

           As of March 31, 1994, the Company has long-term debt for a capital 
lease in the amount of $234,886.  Management believes that the increase 
in inventories is due to a demand by customers for a shorter lead time on 
deliveries and including work in process value in inventory valuation.

           Management anticipates for fiscal 1994 is that sales for the 
Company's SecuriKey line of products will increase as the customer 
base expands and becomes more diversified.  It is management's goal for 
Registrant's sales to become more stable and experience smaller fluctuations
from quarter to quarter.  The Company has several customers which tend 
to dominate sales.  Changes in orders of these customers has significantly
impacted sales during this quarter and could, in the future either 
positively or negatively impact sales.

LIQUIDITY

           Due to the losses the Company has sustained during the current fiscal
year, the Company is experiencing severe liquidity difficulties. With the 
Company's expansion and changing business environment, there are substantial
concerns of the Company's ability to resolve its short and medium term
liquidity problems.  Due to the losses incurred during the second and third 
quarters of fiscal 1994, the bank has called the outstanding notes, 
lines of credit and leases. Management is negotiating with the bank to
secure acceptable terms for both parties.  There are no assurances that the 
Company will be successful in these negotiations.  If these negotiations 
are not successful, the notes loans and leases are in a default condition, 
and the Company will be forced to consider a reorganization.  Subsequent to 
the reporting period, the Company has reduced its manufacturing work force 
due to unrealized anticipation of manufacturing contracts.

           Subsequent to the reporting period, the Registrant and its wholly-
owned subsidiary Maxwell Systems, Inc. filed for relief under Chapter 11 of 
the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court 
for the District of Utah, Central Division.  The case filed by the Registrant
will be administered under Bankruptcy Case No. 94B-23643 and the case filed 
by Maxwell Systems, Inc. will be administered under Case No. 94B-23642.  
The  officers and directors of the Registrant and Maxwell Systems, Inc. 
are in control of the respective companies and shall operate as debtors-in-
possession pursuant to Bankruptcy Code provisions. 

EQUIPMENT LEASE

           The Company has leased automatic component placement equipment to 
be used in the manufacturing of the Company's products.  Management believes 
the new equipment will increase the automation and efficiency of its 
manufacturing.  The Company anticipates manufacturing electronic products
on a contract basis for other entities to utilize any excess capacity.  
Manufacturing on a contract basis represents a new line of business 
for the Company.  The Company has incurred "start-up" costs to bring
the new equipment on line and to adapt its manufacturing procedures to the 
automated equipment.

           Generally, management believes that the financial stability and 
future of the Company is dependent on increasing sales and income from the 
SecuriKey products, and its ability to operate its manufacturing operation 
in a profitable manner.  In the past, net profits and net losses from 
operations significantly varied from quarter to quarter.

              During the reporting period the Company was a party to the 
following material legal proceedings:

           In August 1993, the Company filed a Complaint in Third District 
Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah, against Interstate Trucking Service, 
Interstate Commerce Tax Advisory Service, and certain of the officers of 
the companies.  The complaint alleges breach of contract and misrepresentation
in relation to previous transactions and seeks damages of approximately 
$130,000.

           In October 1993, a complaint was filed by S & D Limited in Third 
District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah, against the Company 
and other individuals including the former owners of Quick Circuits, 
Inc. alleging a breach of the lease covering certain facilities previously 
occupied by Quick Circuits.  The action seeks monetary damages in an 
unspecified amount for the breach of the lease. The Company has referred 
this action to counsel and has not yet had the opportunity to fully evaluate
the merits of the claim.  The Company will investigate the matter fully 
and intends vigorously pursue all defenses available to it in regard to this 
action.

                       ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES
                                   None.

District Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah against the Company and 
other individuals alleging a breach of contract in matters relating to 
loans and leases with First Security Bank of Utah.  The Company will 
investigate the matter fully and intends vigorously pursue all defenses 
available to it in regard to this action.

           On July 21, 1994 the Registrant and its wholly-owned subsidiary 
Maxwell Systems, Inc. filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States
