Note 3 - Earnings 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. Net loss per share is based on the number
of common shares outstanding at the end of the period.

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


         A number of  statements  contained  in this report are  forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 that involve  risks and  uncertainties  that could cause actual  results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied in the applicable  statements.
These  risks and  uncertainties  include,  but are not  limited  to,  the recent
introduction of, and the costs  associated with, a new product line;  dependence
on the acceptance of this new family of products; risks related to technological
factors;  potential manufacturing  difficulties;  dependence on third parties; a
limited customer base; and liability risks.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------


        Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were $1,736,546 as compared
with revenues of $1,776,335 for the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, or
a decrease of  approximately  2 %.  Revenues were lower than expected due to the
last minute request by a major customer to delay a significant shipment until in
the late  second  quarter of this fiscal  year.  The  Company  continued  to see
acceptance of its new product,  the Sentinel 2000, as well interest in the other
member of the family of SNS products, the Manager 2000.


         The  Company's  cost of goods  sold  increased  from  $605,059  for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 to $741,046 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 as a
result of the continued  change in the product mix from mature  product lines to
the new family of products and a decrease in the amount of capitalized  software
costs.  Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales increased from 34.1% for the
previous  comparable  fiscal period to 42.7% for this fiscal period,  due to the
factors  discussed above.  The Company  continues to focus on lowering the costs
related to the newer  products as they begin to mature and will  eventually  see
the benefits from manufacturing efficiencies.


         Research  and  development   expenses,   net  of  capitalized  software
development,  increased  from  $223,950  in the  quarter  ended June 30, 1996 to
$286,552 in the current  fiscal  quarter,  an increase of 28%.  This is a direct
reflection  of  the  Company's  continued  increased  activity  related  to  the
development of the Secure  Network  Systems/2000  set of products.  Research and
development  expenses as a percentage of revenues increased from 12.6% to 16.5%.
Selling,  general and administrative  expenses  decreased  approximately 2% from
$903,295  for the prior  year's  comparable  fiscal  period to $887,191  for the
fiscal period ended June 30, 1997.  This decrease  represents  lower general and
administrative costs offset by increases in the Company's selling expenses as we
embark on an aggressive  growth plan. The Company  anticipates  seeing increased
revenues as a result of these increased selling expenses in the third and fourth
quarters of this fiscal year.

         The Company had a loss from operations of $178,243 for the period ended
June 30, 1997, compared to income from operations of $44,031 for the same period
a year ago.  Due to the  reduction  in  interest  costs to the  Company  and the
effects of the income tax benefit of $20,221,  the net loss for the period ended
June 30,  1997 was  $153,801  compared  to net income of $40,100 for the quarter
ended  June 30,  1996.  At March 31,  1997 the  Company  had  provided a partial
valuation  allowance  against its existing deferred tax assets. At June 30, 1997
the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against any benefits arising
out of the net loss for the period.  The current expiration dates range from the
years 2001 through 2011.

Financial Condition and Capital Resources
- -----------------------------------------

           During the first quarter of fiscal year 1998, the Company  recorded a
net loss of approximately $154,000.  Included in this loss were non-cash charges
of  approximately  $109,000 for  depreciation,  amortization  and provisions for
inventory allowance and bad debts. As a result, during the first three months of
fiscal year 1998, the Company's financial condition remained relatively stable.

           The  Company's  operations  provided  $120,000  of  cash,  due to the
collection of accounts receivable,  offset by the payment of accrued payroll and
related  liabilities.  The Company  utilized  approximately  $60,000 of cash for
capital and software-related  expenditures.  The Company utilized  approximately
$10,000 of cash to pay down its  long-term  debt in the first quarter as well as
approximately $55,000 to satisfy its New York State tax settlement.

           On August 30,  1996,  the Company  executed a credit  agreement  with
Farrington Bank of North Brunswick,  New Jersey (subsequently acquired by United
National Bank of Bridgewater,  New Jersey).  The agreement  provides the Company
with a $500,000 line of credit to finance future working  capital  requirements,
collateralized by accounts  receivable of the Company.  The agreement expires on
August 30, 1997.  No amount of this credit line had been utilized as of June 30,
1997.

           Based on its current cash and working  capital  position,  as well as
its available line of credit,  the Company believes that it will have sufficient
capital to meet its operational needs over the next twelve months.

           In fiscal 1998,  the Company is required  adopt the provisions of the
Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share"  ("SFAS 128"),  which is effective for
financial statements for annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 128
establishes   standards  for  the   computation,   presentation  and  disclosure
requirements  for  earnings  per share.  The  adoption  of this  standard is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's earnings per share.

           In fiscal 1998, the Company is require to adopt the provisions of the
Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 131,  "Segment  Reporting"  ("SFAS  131"),  which is effective for
financial statements for annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. SFAS 131
establishes  standards  for the  disclosure  requirements  relative to operating
segments. The Company is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements of the
recently issued statement.
