NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1999
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 1999 and March 31,
1999, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and for the same period in 1998 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month periods then ended
have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
the fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations
and cash flows at June 30, 1999 and 1998 have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial
statements are read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and
notes thereto included in the annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
March 31, 1999.
Note 2 - Inventory:
Inventory consists of the following:
June 30, 1999 March 31, 1999
----------------- -----------------
Raw materials $ 314,229 $ 1,570,150
Work in process 668,136 223,229
Finished goods 681,741 761,264
---------------- ----------------
Total $ 1,664,106 $ 2,554,643
----------------- ----------------
During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company entered into an arrangement
with a contract manufacturer. In order to consummate such arrangement, the
Company transferred raw material inventory to the outside manufacturer. This
inventory amounted to $650,000 at June 30, 1999. As this amount has not been
paid by the contract manufacturer as of June 30, 1999, it has been classified as
an account receivable. The transfer of the inventory had no impact on cash
flows.
Note 3 - Earnings Per Share:
The computation 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.

<PAGE>
The following is a reconciliation of the denominator used in the calculation of
basic and diluted earnings per share:
Three Months Three Months
Ended Ended
6/30/99 6/30/98
Weighted Average # of Shares Outstanding 9,035,590 5,134,272
Incremental Shares for Common Equivalents 2,220,288 1,908,262
---------- ------------
Diluted Shares Outstanding 11,255,878 7,042,534
========== ============
The potential common shares of 2,220,288 were excluded from the computation of
diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 because their
inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect on earnings per share due to the
Company's net loss for the period.
Note 4 - Comprehensive Income:
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS) No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income". The following table reflects the
reconciliation between net income per the financial statements and comprehensive
income:
Three Months Three Months
Ended Ended
6/30/99 6/30/98
Net (loss) income $ (1,157,032) $ 161,144
Effect of foreign currency translation 47,858 (4,642)
------------- -----------
Comprehensive income $ (1,109,174) $ 156,502
============== ===========
Note 5 - Contingent Liabilities:
In the normal course of business the Company and its subsidiaries may be
involved in legal proceedings, claims and assessments arising in the ordinary
course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and outcomes
are not predictable with assurance. In the opinion of management, the outcome of
such current legal proceedings, claims and assessments would not have a material
effect on the Company's reported financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
Note 6 - Borrowings:
On May 5, 1999, the Company entered into a borrowing agreement for $300,000.
This borrowing is collateralized by certain of the property and equipment of the
Company. The loan, with a term of 3 years, is payable monthly at an interest
rate of 8.5%. Future principal repayment under this loan is $113,580 for the
year ended June 30, 2000.

<PAGE>
Note 7 - Related Party Transaction:
The Company borrowed funds from a director of the Company in the amount of
$150,000 on April 14, 1999. This amount has been repaid along with a market rate
of interest during the quarter ended June 30, 1999.
The amount of interest expense was not material to the Company.
Note 8 - Income Taxes:
The increase in the valuation allowance at June 30, 1999 is due primarily to the
current quarter net operating loss carryforwards for federal, state and foreign
purposes that the Company believes, at June 30, 1999, are more likely than not
to expire unutilized.
Note 9 - Subsequent Events:
On August 6, 1999, the Company raised $9,500,000 in connection with a private
financing of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Of the funds raised, $2,250,000
was used to pay the full outstanding balance of the United National Bank line of
credit amount outstanding.
Additionally, the Company has issued 239,654 shares of Common Stock and has
received proceeds of approximately $500,000 in connection with the exercise of
options and warrants subsequent to June 30, 1999.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS.
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
Three Months ended June 30,1999 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 1998
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $4,889,021
compared to revenue of $2,963,973 for the same period in 1998, an increase of
approximately 64.9%. The increase was primarily as a result of shipments of the
Company's Sentinel 2000 product initially introduced by the Company in fiscal
year 1997. For the three months ended June 30, 1999, approximately 1,300
Sentinel 2000 units were shipped, generating revenue of approximately
$3,100,000, compared to approximately 700 units for same period in 1998, which
generated revenue of approximately $1,200,000. Revenue growth also was generated
by increased volume from existing customers, volume from new customers and the
inclusion in the three months ended June 30, 1999 of revenues obtained as a
result of the acquisition of Solcom Systems Limited ("SolCom") in March 1999 and
the acquisition of certain assets of LeeMAH DataCom Securities Corporation in
February 1999 ("LeeMAH").
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$1,931,872 compared to $1,008,005 for the same period in 1998, principally as a
result of increased business activity. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of
revenue increased to 39.5% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1999
compared to 34.0% for the same period in 1998, due to product mix and the higher
cost of the Company's new product introductions. During this quarter, the
Company began to use contract manufacturers for more of its production, which
was previously performed in-house, in order to keep pace with volume growth. The
Company anticipates future cost savings as the relationships with such contract
manufacturers expand.
Research and development expenses, net of capitalized software
development, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $534,417 compared to
$361,440 for the same period in 1998. As a percentage of revenue, research and
development expenses decreased to 10.9% compared to 12.2% for the same period in
1998. The increase in amount was due to the assimilation of the research and
development efforts of SolCom and LeeMAH into the Company's existing research
and development efforts in order to provide further support and enhancements in
developing the Company's next generation of products, as well as to support
growth of the Sentinel 2000 line of products. The decrease as a percentage of
revenue was the result of increased sales. Research and development expenses are
reported net of capitalized software development. For the three months ended
June 30,
10
<PAGE>
1999, $537,462 of capitalized software was netted from the reported expenses
compared to $88,858 for the same period in 1998. From a cash flow point of view,
the Company used approximately $1,071,000 for research and development for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $450,000 for the same period in
1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 were $2,591,476 compared to $1,148,060 for the same period in
1998. As a percentage of revenue, selling general and administrative expenses
increased to 53.0% compared to 38.7% for the same period in 1998. This increase
resulted primarily from the Company's aggressive growth plans and the sales and
marketing support related thereto, as well as the increased existing product
growth and projected new product introductions, coupled with the acquisition of
SolCom and LeeMAH.
Depreciation and amortization expenses, which include depreciation on
equipment, furniture and fixtures along with amortization of capitalized
software and goodwill, was $922,656 for the three months ended June 30, 1999
compared to $123,115 in same period in 1998. This expense was primarily the
result of goodwill and capitalized software associated with the SolCom
acquisition in March 1999 and the goodwill and customer lists associated with
the acquisition of certain assets of LeeMAH, along with the impact of higher
capitalized software expenses relating to the ongoing pre- general availability
release research and development projects and increased equipment purchases to
support the sales and infrastructure necessary to support the projected sales
growth.
Income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was zero
compared to a provision of $155,576 for the same period in 1998. The provision
of zero at June 30, 1999 is the result of the additional valuation allowances
recorded on the current quarter net operating loss carryforwards for federal,
state and foreign purposes that the Company believes, at June 30, 1999, are more
likely than not to expire unutilized.
Net (loss) income after taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1999
was a loss of $1,157,032 compared to income of $161,144 for the same period in
1998 based on the factors discussed above.
IN-PROCESS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ("IPR&D") - DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
In connection with the Company's acquisition of SolCom on March 31,
1999, the Company allocated $3,490,177 of the purchase price thereof to
purchased IPR&D. The following commentary provides an update on the status of
the projects included in the IPR&D analysis.
NetworX is a New Modular product line being developed. NetworX will be
the industry's first integrated platform for proactive, remote, secure
management and monitoring of voice, data and video networks. It uses Dial up,
Telnet or SNMP connections so that managers can monitor, evaluate and control
all aspects of their networks from a single, remote point. NetworX is expected
to supercede the existing modular products and is anticipated to be introduced
to the public at the end of September 1999, one quarter later than previously
reported at the end of fiscal year 1999. Research and development in connection
with this product was approximately 95% of technological
11
<PAGE>
feasibility as of July 31, 1999. Acceptance of NetworX customer orders is
anticipated to commence in October 1999. Research and development cost to
complete technological feasibility of this project is expected to be less than
$200,000 and an additional $100,000 for general release of the product.
Sentinel products offer a range of comprehensive site management tools
for centralized remote maintenance of large distributed voice and data networks.
All Sentinel products will feature Alarm & Fault Management, PBX Toll Fraud
Detection, Environmental Monitoring and Control as well as Security Access
Management. Sentinel III, previously reported at fiscal year end 1999 as a New
Modular product, was an intelligent port controller that would have combined
remote monitoring and Sentinel network device management, allowing control of a
network as well as a comprehensive picture of its activities. The Company
elected to "re-badge" the Sentinel III to a less expensive abbreviated version
of the NetworX product. The costs to complete this project are included within
the NetworX cost estimates.
The ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), a based range of
Modular product, incorporates all the hardware and software required to carry
out specific tasks on a single chip. This will lead to a substantial increase in
processing speed and reduction in build costs. Designing the ASIC requires the
Company to experience a learning curve while the engineers become familiar with
this technology. Initially there will be one ASIC, but once the initial ASIC has
been developed, there will be ongoing development to introduce more capabilities
and features into ASICs. The ASIC development and release schedule was extended
by the Company's management so it could further focus resources on other
development efforts. As a result, the ASIC is only 20% completed at June 30,
1999. Its expected release date has been delayed from the first half of fiscal
year 2001 and is now anticipated to be released in December 2001. Research and
development costs to complete this project are estimated to be $300,000.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company's
working capital position improved substantially as the Company raised over five
million dollars in equity funds through the issuance of new shares of Common
Stock in a private placement as well as the exercise of certain warrants and
options. Working capital (net of deferred tax assets) at June 30, 1999 increased
to a positive $3,547,071 from a negative $1,124,360 at year end March 31, 1999.
This improvement was the result of increasing revenue during the quarter.
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended
June 30, 1999 was $4,066,138 compared to net cash used during the same period in
1998 of $766,790. The increase in net cash used was the result of higher account
receivables for sales that occurred later in the quarter and reduced account
payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities due to the payment of
outstanding liabilities using the cash generated during the quarter. The use of
cash was partially offset by lower inventory, as the Company is producing more
through contract manufacturers.

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended
June 30, 1999 was $560,122 compared to net cash used in during the same period
in 1998 of $484,812. The increase in net cash used was primarily the result of
increased development activities leading to an increase in capitalized software
at June 30, 1999.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended
June 30, 1999 was $5,511,214 compared to net cash provided during the same
period in 1998 of $1,191,062. The increase in net cash provided was primarily
the result of a private financing of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, the
exercise of warrants issued in connection with a previous private financing of
Common Stock, and exercised stock options during the quarter. Net cash provided
was also increased by borrowings under the current line of credit and a term
loan.
In October 1998, the Company entered into a line of credit agreement
with United National Bank ("United") with an available balance of $2,000,000
through July 31, 1999, which was extended in July 1999 through September 30,
1999. In April 1999, the line of credit was increased to $2,250,000. At June 30,
1999 the Company had borrowed $2,250,000 against the line of credit. All
business assets of the Company collateralized the line.
In July 1999, the Company and United entered into a new agreement
whereby the existing line of credit ($2,250,000) was converted into a three-year
term loan. The term loan is payable in equal monthly installments commencing on
October 1, 1999. The balance used on June 30, 1999 was $2,250,000. The balance
as of August 12, 1999 was zero as partial of the funds raised in the August 1999
private financing of Common Stock was used to pay down the line of credit.
From April 1999 through June 1999, the Company raised $1,618,544
through the exercise of warrants issued in connection with a private financing
of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock consummated in April 1996.
In addition, in June 1999, the Company raised $3,000,000 in connection with a
private financing of Common Stock.
In August 1999, the Company raised $9,500,000 in connection with a
private financing of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company used a
portion of the funds received to pay down the outstanding line of credit in the
amount of $2,250,000.
The Company expects to fund the expansion of its business and
operations and meet its short and long-term liquidity needs from available cash
and working capital from funds derived from future operating revenue as well as
through additional financing from outside sources. The Company currently
believes that it will have sufficient cash flows to meet its operational needs
over the next twelve months.

YEAR 2000
GENERAL
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are
coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. Beginning in the
year 2000, these date code fields will need to accept four digit entries to
distinguish the twentieth century dates. The Company uses software and related
technologies that will be effected by the "Year 2000 problem." The Company began
the process of identifying the changes required to their computer programs and
hardware during 1996. The Company believes that all of its major programs and
hardware are Year 2000 compliant. The Company believes that it will not incur
any significant costs between now and January 1, 2000 to resolve Year 2000
issues. However, there can be no assurance that other companies' computer
systems and applications on which the Company's operations rely, will be timely
converted, or that any such failure to convert by another company would not have
a material adverse effect on the company's systems and operations. Furthermore,
there can be no assurance that the software that the Company uses which has been
designed to be Year 2000 compliant contains all necessary date code changes.
THIRD PARTIES
The Company has also initiated formal communications with significant
supplies and other key third parties to determine the extent to which the
Company is vulnerable to those third parties failure to resolve their own Year
2000 compliance issues. There can be no assurance that the systems or other
companies on which the Company's systems rely will be timely converted, or that
a failure to convert by another company, or a conversion that is incompatible
with the Company's systems, would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's results of operations.
RISK ASSESSMENT/CONTINGENCY PLANNING
At this time, the Company believes its most reasonable likely worst
case scenario would include (i) a key material vendor or service provider
experiencing problems with delivery of materials, components or services; (ii)
the failure of infrastructure services provided by government agencies and other
third parties (e.g., electric, telephone, transportation, Internet services,
etc.). As noted above, the Company is evaluating the Year 2000 compliance status
of its key third-party vendors to identify potential risks for contingency
planning purposes. The Company anticipates that appropriate contingency plans
will be prepared throughout 1999 as determined to be necessary.
