Note 3 - Earnings Per Share:
- ---------------------------

The Company has adopted the  provisions  of the Financial  Accounting  Standards
Board's  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,  "Earnings  Per
Share"  ("SFAS 128") in the quarter ended  December 31, 1997.  All prior periods
presented have been restated to account for this change.

The  computaion  of Basic  Earnings Per Share is based on the  weighted  average
number of common shares  outstanding for the period.  Diluted Earnings Per Share
is based on the weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding  for the
period  plus the  dilutive  effect of common  stock  equivalents,  comprised  of
outstanding stock options and warrants.

The following is a reconciliation  of the denominator used in the calculation of
basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 4 - Recent Pronouncements:
- ------------------------------

In June  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  SFAS  131,
"Disclosure  about  Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related  Information"  which
becomes effective for financial  statements for periods beginning after December
31, 1997. This Statement  establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises  report  information  about  operaing  segments in annual  financial
reports and requires that those  enterprises  report selected  information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also
establishes  standards  for related  disclosures  about  products and  services,
geographic  areas,  and major  customers.  The adoption of this  standard is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

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

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


         Revenues  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1998  were  $2,963,973  as
compared with revenues of $1,736,546 for the same quarter of the previous fiscal
year,  or an  increase of  approximately  71 %. The  increase  in  revenues  was
primarily  the  result of  increased  business  activity  and as a result of the
continued  acceptance of its Sentinel product line 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  $741,046  for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997 to $1,008,005 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as
a result of increased business  activity.  Cost of goods sold as a percentage of
sales  decreased from 42.7% for the previous  comparable  fiscal period to 34.0%
for this fiscal period, due to the increased volumes, manufacturing efficiencies
and higher margin software and services sales in the quarter.


         Research  and  development   expenses,   net  of  capitalized  software
development,  increased  from  $286,552  in the  quarter  ended June 30, 1997 to
$412,967 in the current  fiscal  quarter,  an increase of 44%.  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  decreased  from 17% to 14%.
Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased  approximately 37% from
$887,191 for the prior year's  comparable  fiscal period to  $1,219,648  for the
fiscal period ended June 30, 1998.  This  increase  results  primarily  from the
Company's aggressive growth plan in the sales and marketing area.

         The Company had income from operations of $323,383 for the period ended
June 30,  1998,  compared to a loss from  operations  of  $178,243  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 $161,144  for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998.

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

         During the first quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company  recorded net
income of  approximately  $161,000.  Included in this net income  were  non-cash
charges of approximately $123,000 for depreciation and amortization and $121,000
of deferred  taxes.  As a result and in  conjunction  with the  following  items
discussed  below,  during  the  first  three  months of fiscal  year  1999,  the
Company's cash position remained relatively stable.

         The Company's  operations used $767,000 of cash,  primarily as a result
of an increase in accounts  receivable of $910,961 for sales that occurred later
in the quarter and an increase in  inventory  buildup of $462,293 as the Company
prepares to ship its backlog going into the second quarter These  increases were
offset by the payment of accrued  payroll and related  liabilities.  The Company
utilized  approximately  $200,000  of  cash  for  capital  and  software-related
expenditures  and an additional  $293,000 for one-time merger related costs that
have been  capitalized.  Proceeds from stock option and warrant  exercises  were
approximately  $900,000 and proceeds from borrowings under the company's line of
credit were $300,000.  The Company utilized approximately $10,000 of cash to pay
down its long-term debt in the first quarter.

         In November  1997,  the  Company  successfully  negotiated  with United
National to provide the Company with a $1,000,000 line of credit, collateralized
by  accounts  receivable  of the  Company,  to finance  future  working  capital
requirements  that was due to  expire  on July 31,  1998.  In July 1998 the bank
extended  this  line of  credit  for a period  of 60 days,  in  anticipation  of
renewal,  negotiations  of which are  progressing.  As of August  3,  1998,  the
Company has utilized $600,000 under this line.

           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 June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 131,
"Disclosure  about  Segments of an  Enterprise  and Related  Information"  which
becomes effective for financial  statements for periods beginning after December
31, 1997. This Statement  establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises  report  information  about  operaing  segments in annual  financial
reports and requires that those  enterprises  report selected  information about
operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders.  It also
establishes  standards  for related  disclosures  about  products and  services,
geographic  areas,  and major  customers.  The adoption of this  standard is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
