Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements present
fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the
periods shown. The third quarter results for each year represent 13 weeks of
operations ended Friday, December 29, 1995 and December 30, 1994. The financial
data included herein was compiled in accordance with the same accounting
policies applied to the Company's audited annual financial statements. Any
adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.
The results of operations for the nine month period ended December 29,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
2. A summary of long-term debt follows:

</TABLE>
On August 31, 1995, BIS Partners, L.P. (BIS) agreed to cancel $450,000 of
long-term debt and to reduce the interest rate on the remaining debt to 8
percent. In addition, the repayment terms were modified to interest-only through
March 31, 1996, with repayment in 36 equal installments thereafter. In
accordance with this agreement, the Company reduced the amount of debt owed to
BIS to equal the total cash to be repaid to BIS for both principal and interest.
This resulted in a second quarter extraordinary gain of $282,000. All future
payments to BIS will be recorded as a reduction in the debt balance. In
connection with this transaction, the Company issued warrants to BIS to purchase
450,000 shares of its capital stock at $1.9375 per share (the fair market value
at issue date), exercisable through August 31, 2005.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The Company experienced a net decrease in cash of $162,000 for the first nine
months of fiscal 1996. Cash used for investing activities (additions to
equipment and software production costs) and financing activities exceeded the
cash provided by operating activities of $206,000. The positive cash from
operations was principally realized from depreciation and amortization, and
lower levels of inventories. These amounts were sufficient to offset the loss
before extraordinary item and reductions in accounts payable. This result also
compared very favorably to a decrease of $758,000 in cash for the first nine
months of the prior year.
The Company's ability to meet its cash requirements is currently dependent on
its ability to operate on a profitable basis and on the continued support of its
major debtholder, BIS Partners, L.P.(BIS). The Company has experienced growth in
Javelan sales which has resulted in higher gross profits from product revenues.
Based on increased levels of interest and prospects, current expectations are
that continued growth in Javelan sales and margins will occur. In the services
business, revenues have decreased based primarily on a reduction in revenue from
the Company's major service customer. The Company has recently enhanced its
selling and marketing capacity in the services area to capture new business to
replace what has been lost and for future business growth. BIS has continued to
support the Company by agreeing to cancel $450,000 of its debt in August 1995,
to reduce the interest rate on its remaining debt outstanding and to receive
interest only payments during fiscal 1996. BIS previously agreed to provide a
$500,000 line of credit through June 30, 1996. There was no borrowing under this
line of credit at December 29, 1995. There can be no assurances that the Company
will operate on a profitable basis or that BIS will continue to support the
Company's cash requirements. The Company is currently seeking additional sources
of capital to strengthen its balance sheet, to provide longer term liquidity and
to enhance its selling and marketing resources in both Javelan and the services
business. To that effect, in order that there be sufficient shares available for
possible future transactions, a Proxy has been filed with the SEC to increase
the number of authorized common shares from 10,000,000 to 20,000,000. The Proxy
calls for a Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held in March 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
For the quarter ended December 29, 1995, total revenues decreased 15.5% from the
same quarter in 1994, with a net loss of $214,000 compared to a net profit of
$36,000 in the third quarter of the prior year. For the nine month period ended
December 29, 1995, total revenues decreased 12.3% compared with the nine months
ended December 30, 1994. The nine month net loss before extraordinary item was
$387,000 compared to a net loss of $194,000 incurred in the comparable period
for the prior year. After taking the extraordinary item into account, a net loss
of $105,000 was incurred for the first nine months. The principal reason for the
loss incurred in the third quarter was lower services revenues at the same time
services expenses were constant.
Product sales decreased 28.9% for the comparable third quarters, and 42.8% for
the comparable first nine months. This was primarily due to a de-emphasis of the
sale of low margin commodity products. However, an increase was realized in the
sale of Javelan, the Company's windows-based management software product which
has only a small associated cost of sales. As a result, margins on product sales
improved from 18.3% to 59.6% for the comparable third quarters and from 20.1% to
53.1% for the comparable nine month period.
Services revenues decreased 13.3% for the comparable third quarters and 6.2% for
the comparable nine month periods. These decreases were principally the result
of decreased revenues from hardware time and material billings and hardware and
software maintenance contracts. Effective August 1, 1995, two large hardware
maintenance contracts did not renew, based on customer decisions to do self
maintenance. This was the primary reason for the drop in services revenues from
the first to the second and from the second to the third quarter of this fiscal
year. The Company has recently hired a National Sales Manager to head the
marketing and sales effort for the services business. Focus is being placed on
direct sales of service contracts to prospects with large local and wide area
networks. Current expectations are that services revenues will stabilize in the
fourth quarter. Margins on services revenues decreased for the comparable third
quarters and nine month periods as the cost of providing services remained about
the same on lower service revenues. Savings in labor costs have been offset by
increased costs for parts utilized to maintain equipment.
Due to lower levels of revenues, selling, general, and administrative expenses
increased from 16.4% to 20.4% of total revenue for the comparable quarters and
from 17.2% to 19.4% for the comparable nine month periods. Expenditures for
product development and engineering, before taking into account amounts
capitalized and amortized for software production costs, were approximately the
same for the comparable periods.
-9-
<PAGE> 10
Interest expense decreased from 1.7% to 0.4% of total revenues for the
comparable third quarters and remained the same at 1.5% for the comparable nine
month periods. This was the result of BIS Partners, L.P. cancellation of debt in
August 1995 which eliminated the requirement to record any interest expense on
this debt in the future.
The $282,000 of extraordinary gain (recorded in the second quarter) resulted
from an agreement with BIS to cancel $450,000 of its debt with the Company. The
gain was computed by reducing the amount of debt recorded on the Company's books
to an amount equal to the total cash to be repaid to BIS for both principal and
interest. As a result, all future payments on the current notes outstanding to
BIS will be recorded as a reduction in the debt balance with no interest expense
being recognized. This had a favorable impact on interest expense in the second
and third quarters and will continue to have a favorable impact in future
quarters.
No income taxes were recognized in the statements of operations since the
Company has use of net operating loss carryforwards to offset any taxes.
A loss before extraordinary item of $.06 per share was incurred in the first
nine months of this year compared to a loss of $.04 per share in the first nine
months of last year. The extraordinary gain amounted to $.04 per share resulting
in a net loss of $.02 per share for the first nine months of this year. The
increase in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
comparable periods resulted primarily from the issuance of 2,030,000 common
shares upon the conversion of the Company's Series D preferred stock which was
not included in the number of shares until the second quarter of last year.
