NOTE 3  -  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

           During the three  months ended June 30,  1996,  stockholders'  equity
changed for the following items:

                    Net income                    $   40,100

                    Issuance of common stock of   $1,350,504


           In April,  1996,  the Company sold 860,000  shares of common stock to
unrelated   investors,   at  $1.25  per  share  and  received  net  proceeds  of
approximately  $1,050,000.  In conjunction with this sale,  warrants to purchase
860,000  shares of common stock with an exercise  price of $1.50 and warrants to
purchase an additional  860,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of
$2.00 were issued. These warrants expire in April, 2000.

           In addition, the Company sold 241,467 shares of common stock at $1.25
per share to four current  shareholders of record who held the contractual right
to maintain  their share of  ownership.  The Company  received  net  proceeds of
approximately  $300,000.  In  conjunction  with this sale,  warrants to purchase
241,467  shares of common stock with an exercise  price of $1.50 and warrants to
purchase an additional  241,467 shares of common stock with an exercise price of
$2.00 were issued. These warrants expire in April, 2000.



NOTE 4  -  NET INCOME PER SHARE:

           The computation of earnings per common and common equivalent share is
based upon the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding  during the
period  plus (in  periods in which they have a  dilutive  effect)  the effect of
common stock  equivalents,  comprised of outstanding stock options and warrants.
Fully diluted  earnings per share also reflect  additional  dilution  related to
outstanding  stock  options due to the use of the market price at the end of the
period, when higher than the average price for the period.

NOTE 5  -  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

           The Company is involved in proceedings  with respect to certain sales
tax matters.  Total  amounts  included in other current  liabilities  related to
these  proceedings is $100,000 at June 30, 1996. In the opinion of management of
the Company,  amounts  accrued for  assessments in connection with sales tax are
adequate  and  ultimate  resolution  of these  matters  will not have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated  financial position,  results of operations
or cash flows.



NOTE 6  -  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


           In fiscal 1997,  the Company will be required to adopt the provisions
of  Statement  of  Financial  Standards  No. 123,  "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation".  This Statement  requires companies to estimate the fair value of
common stock, stock options, or other equity instruments ("Equity  Instruments")
issued to employees using pricing models which take into account various factors
such as current price of the common stock,  volatility  and expected life of the
Equity  Instrument.  The Standard permits  companies to either provide pro forma
footnote disclosure, or to adjust operating results, for the amortization of the
estimated  value of the Equity  Instrument over the vesting period of the Equity
Instrument.  The  Company  has  elected  to  account  for  stock  options  under
Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 15 and will disclose certain pro forma
information beginning in fiscal 1997.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


           This section and the financial  information  provided  herein contain
forward looking statements that involve risks and  uncertainties.  The Company's
actual results may differ  materially  from  management's  expectations  and the
results discussed in the forward looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

           Revenues  for the  quarter  ended June 30,  1996 were  $1,776,335  as
compared with revenues of $1,864,342 for the same quarter of the previous fiscal
year, or a decrease of  approximately  4.7 %. The fiscal quarter was highlighted
by the initial  shipments of the  Company's new flagship  product,  the Sentinel
2000. These shipments  totalled over $325,000.  The Sentinel 2000 represents the
first member of the new family of products,  collectively  referred to as Secure
Network  Systems/2000,  which are to be  introduced  in the current  fiscal year
(ending March 31, 1997).  This family of industry  standards  based  products is
designed to address the growing demand for remote network  management of mission
critical  integrated voice and data networks.  These products uniquely integrate
security    management,    remote   access,   fault   management   and   problem
identification/resolution  into a powerful suite of network management solutions
to monitor,  maintain and increase the  operational  integrity and access to the
voice and data network.

           Offsetting this successful new product introduction was a substantial
decrease in shipments to AT&T of Remote Port Security  Devices (RPSDs) for their
Definity PBX  customers.  Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 decreased
by  approximately  $350,000 from the quarter ended June 30, 1995. As a result of
an "overstocked"  position determined by AT&T in the quarter ended September 30,
1995,  a reduction  in purchase  order  activity  was  effected  from that point
forward.  Shipments  have remained  steady at a lower volume since that time and
the Company expects the current order volume to continue throughout fiscal 1997.
In fact,  existing  purchase orders for delivery in the quarter ending September
30, 1996 already equal the actual  orders  shipped in the quarter ended June 30,
1996.  The remainder of the shortfall is primarily  attributable  to weaker than
expected sales in the European market. This weaker trend is expected to continue
through the seasonally  slower quarter ending  September 30, 1996 before ramping
up in the second half of fiscal 1997.

           The  Company's  cost of goods sold  decreased  from $740,807 from the
quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $605,059 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as a
result of decreased shipment levels. However, cost of goods sold as a percentage
of sales decreased from 39.7% for the previous comparable fiscal period to 34.1%
for this fiscal period, reflecting improved systems, purchasing procedures, more
favorable  pricing  negotiated with vendors and a more favorable mix of products
sold.   Research  and  development   expenses,   net  of  capitalized   software
development,  increased  from  $128,665  in the  quarter  ended June 30, 1995 to
$223,950 in the

                                       -9-

<PAGE>


current fiscal quarter, an increase of 74%. Research and development expenses as
a percentage of sales  increased  from 6.9% to 12.6%,  reflecting  the increased
development  activity of the Secure Network  Systems/2000  set of products to be
introduced throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997. Selling, general and
administrative  expenses  decreased  5.8% from  $958,513  for the  prior  year's
comparable fiscal period to $903,295 for the fiscal period ending June 30, 1996.
This is a result of Management's  focus on reducing  administrative  overhead in
order to achieve the primary  mission in fiscal 1997 - returning  the Company to
profitability.

           The Company's  Operating  profit before  interest and taxes increased
slightly from $36,317  during the fiscal  quarter ended June 30, 1995 to $44,031
for the fiscal  quarter  ended  June 30,  1996.  Net  income of $40,100  for the
current quarter ended June 30, 1996 is 64.1 % greater than the $24,435  reported
in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The  improvement  between  Operating
income and net income is  directly  related to the lack of income tax  provision
required.  As the Company has available  unused  federal and state net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $2.4M and $1.0M, respectively,  at March 31,
1996 and has fully provided a valuation  allowance against its existing deferred
tax  assets,  it is in a position to record no income tax  provision  until such
time as the net operating loss carryforwards are utilized or expire. The current
expiration dates range from the years 2001 through 2011.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           During the first quarter of fiscal year 1997, the Company's financial
condition  improved  significantly  as assets increased from $3,558,171 at March
31, 1996 to  $4,660,018  at June 30, 1996,  and the  Company's  working  capital
increased  from $837,064 to $2,185,356.  This  improvement is a direct result of
the completion of a private  placement of 860,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock for net proceeds of approximately $1,050,000. In addition,  241,467 shares
of the Company's  Common Stock were issued to existing  shareholders who had the
contractual  right to maintain their  percentage  ownership in the Company.  Net
proceeds of  approximately  $300,000  were  received.  Exclusive  of the private
placement  net  proceeds  of $1.35M,  the  Company's  working  capital  position
remained  unchanged  from March 31, 1996  representing  a  stabilization  in the
Company's working capital performance.

           The   Company   has  a  credit   agreement   with   CoreStates   Bank
("CoreStates") for a credit line of $1,000,000 to finance future working capital
requirements,  collateralized by accounts receivable,  inventory,  equipment and
all other  assets of the  Company,  as well as a  $150,000  credit  facility  to
finance  purchases of machinery  and  equipment,  convertible  into a three-year
secured term loan when  utilized.  The Company  borrowed  $124,000  against this
facility  in  November,  1995,  at which  time  this debt was  converted  into a
three-year term loan. As of June 30, 1996, $102,184 remained outstanding on this
loan. The Company was informed in June,  1996,  that the working  capital credit
line  would  not be  renewed  upon  its  expiration  date of July 31,  1996.  An
agreement with CoreStates was reached to repay the outstanding balance ($300,000
at June 30,  1996) no later than  October  31,  1996 in order to  facilitate  an
orderly  transition  to a new credit  facility.  The Company is currently in the
final stages of establishing a working  capital line with a different  financial
institution.

           As a  result  of its  stabilized  working  capital  position  and the
significant  cash infusion during the fiscal quarter,  the Company believes that
it will have  sufficient  capital  to meet its  financial  requirements  for the
remainder of the fiscal year.
