                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

         This Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (this  "Amendment")  is being filed
in  order  to  amend  Items  6, 7 and 8 of Part II and Item 14 of Part IV of the
Registrant's  Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the  Securities and Exchange
Commission on July 29, 1998, as previously amended on September 1, 1998.

ITEM 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

            The following  table sets forth the selected  financial  data of the
Company for,  and at the end of (i) the year ended  December  31,1993,  (ii) the
four  months  ended  April 30, 1993 and 1994 and (iii) the years ended April 30,
1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

            The Company changed its fiscal year-end from December 31 to April 30
on May 2, 1994. The financial  data presented  below for, and at the end of, the
four-month  period  ended April 30, 1993,  has been  derived from the  unaudited
consolidated  financial statements of the Company. In the opinion of management,
the financial data includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such data.

            During fiscal 1999, the Company  received a letter from the staff of
the Securities and Exchange  Commission  ("the Staff")  commenting on its recent
reviews of the  Company's  Form 10-K for the years ended April 30, 1998 and 1997
and the Form 10-Q for the  quarter  ended  July 31,  1998.  The  Staff  provided
comments on certain issues including the valuation of (1) convertible  preferred
stock and  convertible  debt with  warrants,  both  with  beneficial  conversion
features,  issued  in  fiscal  1997  and (2)  assets  associated  with a  barter
transaction the Company  executed in fiscal 1998. These items do not effect cash
or cash flow nor do they  negatively  affect  the  Company's  current  or future
operations.  The  comments  related to the barter  transaction  involved  assets
associated with the Company's  discontinued  operations and not those associated
with  current  operations.  In addition,  when the bartered  assets are realized
under the Staff's  position,  they will  benefit the  Company's  fiscal 1999 and
future operating  results.  Accordingly,  and although the Company believes that
its  original  positions  were  appropriate  at the  date  of the  transactions,
management has decided to adopt the alternative  positions provided by the Staff
and to amend its 1998 and 1997  reports  (see  Note 18 of Notes to  Consolidated
Financial Statements).

            The  data  presented  below  should  be  read  in  conjunction  with
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations" and the Company's  consolidated  financial  statements and the notes
thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE
MEANING OF SECTION  27A OF THE  SECURITIES  ACT.  SUCH  STATEMENTS  REFLECT  THE
COMPANY'S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS AND FINANCIAL  PERFORMANCE
AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS,  UNCERTAINTIES AND ASSUMPTIONS.  SHOULD ONE OR
MORE  OF  THESE  RISKS  OR  UNCERTAINTIES  MATERIALIZE,   OR  SHOULD  UNDERLYING
ASSUMPTIONS  PROVE  INCORRECT,  ACTUAL  RESULTS MAY VARY  MATERIALLY  FROM THOSE
ANTICIPATED IN SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

OVERVIEW

         The  Company  is in  the  business  of  providing  rapid  and  accurate
technology   deployment   services.   Utilizing   five   regional   staging  and
configuration  centers and its own field  deployment team of  approximately  450
people operating out of 15 offices,  the Company conducts multiple  simultaneous
large scale  deployments  for  organizations  throughout  the United  States and
Canada. The Company believes its consistent,  rapid deployment model enables its
end-user  customers to accelerate the  assimilation  of networking  technologies
into their  organizations  and allows its  Technology  Providers  to enhance the
"absorption" of their products in the marketplace.

         The Company was  established in 1975 as a regional  distributor of data
communications   equipment.   Through   fiscal   1991,   the  Company   expanded
geographically by opening 14 new offices within the United States.  Beginning in
1991, the Company began  redirecting its efforts to become a systems  integrator
providing  complete computer  networking  systems and integration  services.  In
October  1994,  the Company  acquired  Signatel  Ltd.  ("Signatel"),  a Canadian
systems  integrator,  which expanded the Company's  geographic  scope to include
four offices in Canada.

         Over the  course of fiscal  1995 and early  fiscal  1996,  the  Company
continued  to  encounter,  and was greatly  impacted  by, the trend of declining
profitability in data  communications  equipment sales. As a result, the Company
decided  to  accelerate  the  process  of  transitioning  from the  business  of
distributing data communications  equipment to its current business of providing
deployment services. In April 1996, the Company acquired Computer-Aided Software
Integration,  Inc.  ("CASI"),  the developer of the  Integrator's  Workbench - a
suite  of  software  tools  to  aid  in  the  automation  of  configuration  and
integration. In July 1996, the Company acquired HH Communications,  Inc. ("HH"),
a systems integrator with an expertise in routing technologies. In October 1996,
the Company acquired Datatec Industries, Inc., a systems integrator with a focus
on installation services.

         Since the acquisition of Datatec Industries,  Inc. in October 1996, the
Company has transitioned its business to providing rapid deployment services. In
June  1997,  the  Company   discontinued  its  data   communications   equipment
distribution business.

         The Company's current business represents a substantial change from the
Company's  historical line of business.  Consequently,  the Company's historical
results of operations do not reflect combined operations relating to its current
business for a significant period of time and such results may not be indicative
of the Company's future results of operations.

         The Company's  deployment  services are  generally  provided at a fixed
contract price pursuant to purchase orders or other written  agreements with its
customers.  Although certain traditional  customers of Datatec Industries,  Inc.
continue  to order  services  through  oral  agreements,  the  Company is in the
process of changing its procedure to assure that in the future,  where possible,
all services will be provided under written agreements or purchase orders.

         The Company  generally  invoices its customers  for its services  after
installation is completed at each customer site, and recognizes revenue relating
to such site at the time invoices are issued.  The Company recognizes revenue on
certain  long-term  contracts on the percentage of completion basis. The Company
defers  certain  deployment  costs such as  engineering,  planning  and  project
management  costs and amortizes  such costs as it  recognizes  revenue from such
projects.  The  Company's  cost of services  consists of three main  categories:
labor, materials and project expense. Labor consists of salaries and benefits of
the  Company's  field  installation  force as well as staging and  configuration
personnel.   The  materials   category   includes  all  materials  used  in  the
installation  process such as  connectors,  wall plates,  conduit,  and data and
electrical  cable.  Project  expenses include travel and living expenses for the
installation teams, equipment rentals and other costs that are not labor related
or materials.

            As  of  April  30,  1998,   the  Company  has  net  operating   loss
carryforwards  for Federal tax purposes of  approximately  $13  million.  United
States  tax rules  limit the amount of net  operating  loss that  companies  may
utilize in any one year in the event of cumulative  changes in ownership  over a
three year period in excess of 50%. The Company has completed several financings
since the effective date of these rules and does not believe that its ability to
utilize its net operating  loss  carryforwards  is limited as of April 30, 1998,
although  ownership  changes  in  future  periods  may pose  limitations  of the
Company's use of net  operating  loss  carryforwards.  These  carryforwards  are
subject to review and possible adjustment by the Internal Revenue Service.

            The following  discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing
elsewhere herein. The Signatel,  HH and Datatec  Industries,  Inc.  acquisitions
have been  accounted for as pooling of interests  and the financial  information
for  all  periods  represents  the  combined  results  of  all  companies.   The
acquisition  of CASI was accounted for as a purchase and the  operations of CASI
have been  included  from the date of  acquisition.  In  addition,  the  Company
decided  to  discontinue  its  business  of  distributing  data   communications
equipment  in June 1997.  As a result of the  Company's  discontinuance  of this
business, all financial information has been restated to reflect such operations
as discontinued in all periods presented.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 1998 AND 1997

         NET  SALES.  Net sales for the year  ended  April 30,  1998 were  $76.8
million   compared  to  $59.5  million  for  the  year  ended  April  30,  1997,
representing  an increase  of 29.1%.  The  increase  is the result of  increased
demand for the Company's deployment services.

         GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit for the year ended April 30, 1998 was $29.6
million  compared  to $22.3  million for the year ended  April 30,  1997.  Gross
profit as a percentage  of net sales was 38.5% for the year ended April 30, 1998
compared to 37.5% for the year ended April 30,  1997.  Gross profit for 1998 was
not impacted by tight liquidity.

         SELLING,  GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  for the year ended April 30,  1998 were $29.1  million
compared to $20.8  million for the year ended April 30,  1997,  representing  an
increase  of  39.9%.  As  a  percentage  of  net  sales,  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses represented 37.9% for the year ended April 30, 1998 and
34.8% for the year ended April 30, 1997.  The  increase in selling,  general and
administrative  expenses is the result of the Company's continued  investment in
supporting  its ability to sell and deliver  software  enabled rapid  deployment
services.  The  Company's  expense  structure  enables it to provide  nationwide
deployment  capabilities  to its clients and believes  that it is now capable of
supporting   significantly  higher  sales  volumes  without  proportionate  cost
increases.

         REVERSAL OF RESERVES NO LONGER DEEMED NECESSARY.  During the year ended
April 30, 1998,  the  Company,  as a result of  assessing  its previous  history
related to sales tax audit  adjustments,  reversed  approximately  $1,200,000 of
sales tax reserves it no longer deemed necessary.

         OTHER  INCOME.  Other  income  for the year  ended  April 30,  1997 was
primarily  related to gains  realized  from the sales of certain  fixed  assets.
There were no such gains realized during the year ended April 30, 1998.

         INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense for the year ended April 30, 1998
was $2.1  million,  compared to $1.7  million for the year ended April 30, 1997.
The  weighted  average  outstanding  debt for the year ended  April 30, 1998 was
$14.5 million  compared to $12.8 million for year ended April 30, 1997.  For the
year  ended  April  30,  1998  interest  expense  of  $201,000  related  to  the
amortization of deferred  financing fees  associated  with the Company's  credit
facility.  Non-cash  interest expense of $575,000 and $250,000 was recognized in
1997 and 1998, respectively, related to the accretion of the discount on certain
debt securities.

            INCOME TAXES.  The income tax benefit of $400,000 in 1998 relates to
the  Company's  ability  to  sell  its  state  income  tax  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  as a result of recent  changes  in the New  Jersey  tax law.  The
Company has  provided a tax benefit as a result of its review of the new tax law
and its  expected  ability to realize the  benefits of such state net  operating
loss carryforwards.

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 AND 1996

         NET  SALES.  Net sales for the year  ended  April 30,  1997 were  $59.5
million   compared  to  $59.2  million  for  the  year  ended  April  30,  1996,
representing  an increase of  approximately  0.5%.  During the year, the Company
acquired two businesses,  and  discontinued  its data  communications  equipment
business at year-end.  These  changes had a negative  impact on sales during the
period.

         GROSS  PROFIT.  Gross  profits  for the year ended  April 30, 1997 were
$22.3 million compared to $25.0 million for the year ended April 30, 1996. Gross
profit as a percentage  of net sales was 37.5% for the year ended April 30, 1997
compared  to 42.2% for the year ended  April 30,  1996.  The  decrease  in gross
profit margin was primarily  attributable to a lack or working  capital.  During
the year,  the  Company  experienced  delays in  receiving  materials,  incurred
additional costs in delivering  materials on a rush basis and was less efficient
in  delivering  its services to customers as a result of delays caused by a lack
of working capital.

         SELLING,  GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  for the year ended April 30,  1997 were $20.8  million
compared to $29.2 million for the year ended April 30, 1996,  representing 34.9%
and 49.4% of net sales, respectively.  Included in the year ended April 30, 1996
is a restructuring  charge of $6.8 million recorded by Datatec Industries,  Inc.
In April 1995, Datatec  Industries,  Inc. began an expansion plan which included
the addition of a marketing group, additional salespeople, equipment and several
new facilities  including a new headquarters.  In April 1996, Datatec Industries
realized the  expansion  plan was  overaggressive  and began  taking  corrective
actions. Datatec Industries relocated its headquarters facility to smaller, less
expensive offices,  and sold certain furniture and fixtures  associated with the
old headquarters facility.

         OTHER  INCOME.  Other  income  for the year  ended  April  30,  1997 is
primarily related to gains realized from the sales of certain fixed assets.

         INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense for the year ended April 30, 1997
was $1.7  million  compared  to  $938,000  for the year  ended  April 30,  1996,
representing  an increase of 23.1%.  This increase was attributed to a write-off
and amortization of defined  financing fees associated with the Company's credit
facility  that was  replaced  on March 1, 1997,  as well as a 0.25%  increase in
interest  rates and the  accretion of $575,000 of discount of non-cash  interest
expense attributed to certain debt securities.

         INCOME  TAXES.  Income  taxes for the year  ended  April 30,  1997 were
$111,000 compared to a benefit of $37,000 for the year ended April 30, 1996. The
income  taxes  of  $111,000  represent  taxes  on  income  of HH  prior  to  its
acquisition by the Company on July 31, 1996. The benefit of $37,000 represents a
foreign tax benefit recorded by Signatel.

COMPARISON OF FISCAL YEARS ENDED APRIL 30, 1996 AND 1995

         NET  SALES.  Net sales for the year  ended  April 30,  1996 were  $59.2
million   compared  to  $55.9  million  for  the  year  ended  April  30,  1995,
representing an increase of 5.9%.

         GROSS  PROFIT.  Gross  profits  for the year ended  April 30, 1996 were
$25.0 million compared to $23.3 million for the year ended April 30, 1995. Gross
profit as a percentage of net sales was 42.2 % for 1996 and 41.6% for 1995.

         SELLING,  GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  for the year ended April 30,  1996 were $29.2  million
compared to $20.1 million for the year ended April 30, 1995,  representing 49.4%
and 39.5% of net sales, respectively.  The Company began an expansion program in
late 1995 and incurred a  substantial  portion of the  additional  costs of such
expansion  during  fiscal  1996.  During  April 1996,  the Company  realized the
expansion plan was  overaggressive  and took action to restructure its business.
Included  in the year ended  April 30,  1996 are $6.8  million of  restructuring
charges.  These  restructuring  charges  included  projected  cash  outflows for
personnel  severance and  facilities  consolidation  as well as  write-downs  of
certain of the Company's long-lived assets.

         INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest  expense for the year ended April 30, 1996
was  $938,000   compared  to  $495,000  for  the  year  ended  April  30,  1995,
representing  an  increase  of 89.5%.  This  increase  was due to a  significant
increase in the average borrowings  outstanding to fund increases in receivables
and inventory.

         INCOME TAXES. The Company reported an income tax benefit of $37,000 for
the year ended April 30, 1996  compared to an income tax  provision  of $112,000
for the year ended April 30, 1995. The benefit  resulted from a benefit reported
by the Company's  subsidiary,  Signatel.  The income tax provision  represents a
state income tax provision for Datatec  Industries,  Inc.  During the year ended
April  30,  1995,  Datatec  Industries,  Inc.  was  taxed  as a  Subchapter  "S"
corporation  and  provided  for state  income taxes in those states that did not
recognize Subchapter "S" status.

BACKLOG

         Backlog for the  Company's  services as of July 1, 1998  totaled  $45.5
million  compared  to $38.0  million as of July 1,  1997.  Backlog  consists  of
purchase orders, written agreements and oral agreements with customers for which
a customer has scheduled  the  provision of services  within the next 12 months.
Orders  included in backlog may be canceled or rescheduled by customers  without
penalty. A variety of conditions,  both specific to the individual  customer and
generally  affecting the  customer's  industry,  may cause  customers to cancel,
reduce or delay orders that were  previously  made or  anticipated.  The Company
cannot assure the timely  replacement  of canceled,  delayed or reduced  orders.
Significant  or  numerous  cancellations,  reductions  or  delays in orders by a
customer or group of customers could  materially  adversely affect the Company's
business,  financial condition and results of operations.  Backlog should not be
relied upon as indicative of the Company's revenues for any future period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash and cash  equivalents at April 30, 1998 were $317,000  compared to
$1.1 million as of April 30, 1997.

         During 1998, cash used by operations was $8.6 million  compared to 1997
cash usage of $11.2  million.  A  significant  use of cash  resulted from a $6.8
million increase in accounts receivable.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
         Cash  used for  investing  activities  during  1998  was  $3.1  million
compared  to $1.3  million in 1997.  The Company  used $2.4  million for capital
expenditures,   primarily  computer  equipment.  During  the  year  the  Company
significantly  upgraded its internal computing and  communications  environment.
The Company also used  approximately $.7 million to acquire the remaining 20% of
Computer-Aided  Software  Integration,  Inc. In  addition to the cash paid,  the
Company entered into a note payable for approximately $1.8 million.

         Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended April 30, 1998
was $10.9  million  compared to $11.5 million for the year ended April 30, 1997.
In 1998, warrant holders exercised  approximately 2.7 million warrants resulting
in net proceeds to the Company of $9.7 million. In private equity placements the
Company issued 855,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $3.1 million.

         In March 1997, the Company replaced  existing credit  facilities with a
$17 million credit facility consisting of (i) a $15 million three year revolving
credit  facility  and (ii) a $2 million  three year term loan payable in monthly
installments of principal and interest.  The borrowings under the revolving line
of credit  are  based on a formula  of 85% of  eligible  receivables  and 50% of
eligible  inventory.  The revolving  line of credit bears interest at prime plus
 .75% and the term loan bears  interest at prime plus 1.5%.  As of April 30, 1998
approximately  $8.9 million was outstanding  under the revolving credit facility
and $1.6 million was outstanding under the term loan.

         As of April 30, 1998,  the Company had working  capital of $1.0 million
compared to a working capital  deficiency of $3.0 million at April 30, 1997. The
improvement in working capital is  attributable  to the above  mentioned  equity
offering and loans.

         Accounts receivable as of April 30, 1998 increased 60.3% as compared to
April 30, 1997. This was primarily attributed to a 45% increase in net sales for
the quarter  ended April 30, 1998  compared to the quarter ended April 30, 1997,
in addition to some slowness in payments and collections during fiscal 1998.

         Prepaid  expenses and other current assets increased from $1,446,000 as
of April 30, 1997  compared to  $2,983,000  as of April 30, 1998.  The increases
were primarily  attributed to an additional $842,000 of capitalized  precontract
costs and approximately $301,000 of deferred financing costs for certain private
placements which were completed subsequent to year end.

         As of April 30, 1998, the Company had net operating loss  carryforwards
for income tax purposes of  approximately  $13 million to offset future  taxable
income.  Such net operating loss  carryforwards  expire at various dates through
2013.

         The Company believes it has adequate liquidity and resources to sustain
current operations for the next twelve (12) months.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

         Many  computer  systems  and  software  products  currently  in  use by
businesses and government  organizations are coded to accept two digits,  rather
than four, to specify the year. Such computer systems and software products will
be unable to properly  interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could lead to
business  disruptions  (the "Year 2000  Issue").  As a result,  in less than two
years,  computer  systems and/or  software used by many companies may need to be
upgraded to properly interpret dates beyond 1999.

         Based on a recent  assessment  of its internal  computer  systems,  the
Company determined that it will be required to modify or replace portions of its
internal  software so that its computer  systems  will  properly  utilize  dates
beyond  December  31,  1999.  The  Company is in the  process of  upgrading  its
existing  systems.  It is anticipated that this upgrade will be completed during
the Company's fiscal year ending April 30, 1999. If such  modifications  are not
completed  timely,  the Year 2000  Issue  could  have a  material  impact on the
operations of the Company.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
         The  Company  has  initiated  formal  communications  with  all  of its
significant  suppliers and large  customers to determine the extent to which the
Company is vulnerable  to those third  parties'  failure to remediate  their own
Year 2000 Issue.  However,  there can be no guarantee  that the systems of 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.

         The Company  will  utilize  both  internal  and  external  resources to
reprogram, or replace, and test software for Year 2000 modifications.  The total
cost of the program is being funded through operating cash flows. The total cost
associated  with the required  modifications  and conversions is estimated to be
$1,250,000.

INFLATION

         In the opinion of management,  inflation has not had a material adverse
effect on its results of operations.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To Datatec Systems, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Datatec Systems,
Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (formerly Glasgal Communications,
Inc.) as of April 30, 1997 and 1998 and the related  consolidated  statements of
operations, changes in shareholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of
the three  years in the period  ended April 30, 1998 (as revised - see Note 18).
These consolidated  financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Datatec
Systems,  Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 1997 and 1998 and the results of
their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended  April  30,  1998,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted   accounting
principles.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
consolidated  financial  statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the
index  of  consolidated  financial  statements  is  presented  for  purposes  of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of
the basic consolidated financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic consolidated financial
statements  and, in our  opinion,  fairly  states in all  material  respects the
financial  data  required  to be set  forth  therein  in  relation  to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

As explained in Note 18 to the consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company
has given  retroactive  effect to the change in accounting  for its  convertible
debt with  warrants  and  convertible  preferred  securities  having  beneficial
conversion features.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


(1)         BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

            Business--

               Datatec Systems,  Inc. (formerly Glasgal  Communications,  Inc.),
                  (the  "Company"), and its subsidiaries are in the business  of
                  providing software-enabled technical configuration, integra-
                  tion and installation services (see Note 5).

            Basis of Presentation--

              The consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
                  Company and its  subsidiaries.  These  consolidated  financial
                  statements include, for all periods presented, the accounts of
                  all companies  acquired under   the   pooling  of   interests
                  method of accounting  and its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries
                  (see Note 2).  All intercompany accounts and transactions have
                  been eliminated.

              Use of Estimates--

               The preparation of  financial   statements  in  conformity   with
                  generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management
                  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the reported
                  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
                  assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
                  and the reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during the
                  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
                  estimates. During 1998, the Company credited operations in the
                  amount of  $1,200,000,  representing  the  reversal of certain
                  accruals no longer deemed necessary.

              Revenue Recognition--

               Revenues  from   configuration,   integration  and   installation
                  services are  recognized  as the services  are  provided.  The
                  Company recognizes revenue utilizing  percentage of completion
                  accounting  for  long-term  contracts.   Short-term  contracts
                  utilize completed contract accounting.  Revisions in estimated
                  profits  are made in the  period  in which  the  circumstances
                  requiring the revision become known.  Provisions,  if any, are
                  made   currently  for   anticipated   losses  on   uncompleted
                  contracts.

               From time to time the  Company may enter into  contracts  to sell
                  software.  Revenue  from  such  contracts  are  recognized  in
                  accordance  with  Statement of Position  No.  97-2,  "Software
                  Revenue Recognition".

                                      -17-

              Precontract Costs--

               Precontract  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  defining  and
                  clarifying  technical  requirements  and  designing  technical
                  solutions  related to  executed  contracts  are  deferred  and
                  amortized as the services are  provided.  As of April 30, 1997
                  and 1998, approximately $980,000 and $1,810,000, respectively,
                  of such costs are included in other current assets.

              Cash and Cash Equivalents--

               The Company considers  as  cash  equivalents  all  highly  liquid
                  investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
                  Included  in  other   assets  is  $210,000   and  $132,000  of
                  restricted cash as of April 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

              Inventory--

               Inventory  is stated at the  lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out
                  basis) or market.

              Property and Equipment--

                  Property and equipment are stated at cost,  less  accumulated
                  depreciation and  amortization.  Depreciation and amortization
                  are computed  using the  straight-line  and declining  balance
                  methods over the estimated  useful lives or lease terms of the
                  related assets, whichever is shorter.

              Capitalized Software Costs--

               The Company  capitalizes   certain   computer   software   costs,
                  primarily product  enhancements,  in accordance with Statement
                  of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the
                  Costs of  Computer  Software to be Sold,  Leased or  Otherwise
                  Marketed".   These   costs   are   amortized   utilizing   the
                  straight-line  method over the  economic  lives of the related
                  software  products,  not to exceed three years.  Approximately
                  $300,000  and  $780,000  of  capitalized  software  costs  are
                  included  in other  assets  in the  accompanying  consolidated
                  financial   statements   as  of  April  30,   1997  and  1998,
                  respectively.  Amortization  expense of  capitalized  software
                  costs for the year ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998 was $0,
                  $0 and $118,000, respectively.

              Goodwill--

                  Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years.

              Long-Lived Assets--

                  Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 121,
                  "Accounting

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

                  for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets" requires, among other
                  things,  that an  entity  review  its  long-lived  assets  and
                  certain related intangibles for impairment whenever changes in
                  circumstances  indicate  that the carrying  amount of an asset
                  may not be fully recoverable (see Note 14).

              Income Taxes--

               The Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  in   accordance   with
                  Statement   of   Financial   Accounting   Standards   No.  109
                  "Accounting   for  Income   Taxes"   ("SFAS   109").   Certain
                  transactions   are  recorded  in  the  accounts  in  a  period
                  different from that in which these  transactions  are reported
                  for income tax purposes. These transactions,  as well as other
                  temporary   differences   between  the  basis  in  assets  and
                  liabilities  for financial  reporting and income tax purposes,
                  result in deferred income taxes.

              Foreign Currency Translation--

               The local currency of the  Company's  foreign  subsidiary  is its
                  functional  currency.  Assets and liabilities of the Company's
                  foreign  subsidiary  are  translated  into US  dollars  at the
                  current   exchange  rate.   Income   statement   accounts  are
                  translated at the average rate of exchange  prevailing  during
                  the  year.  Translation  adjustments  arising  from the use of
                  differing exchange rates from period to period are included as
                  a separate component of shareholders' equity (deficit).

              Stock Based Compensation--

               Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting
                  for  Stock-Based  Compensation"  ("SFAS 123") requires that an
                  entity account for employee  stock-based  compensation under a
                  fair value  based  method.  However,  SFAS 123 also  allows an
                  entity to continue to measure  compensation  cost for employee
                  stock-based  compensation  arrangements  using  the  intrinsic
                  value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No.
                  25,  "Accounting  for Stock Issued to Employees".  The Company
                  continues  to account for  employee  stock-based  compensation
                  using the intrinsic value based method and is required to make
                  pro forma  disclosures of net income and earnings per share as
                  if the fair value based  method of  accounting  under SFAS 123
                  had been applied (see Note 11).

             Impact of Recently Announced Accounting Standards--

               During 1998, Statement of Position No. 98-1,  "Accounting for the
                  Costs of Computer Software  Developed or Obtained for Internal
                  Use" (SOP 98-1) was issued. SOP 98-1 is required to be adopted
                  during the Company's  April 30, 2000 fiscal year.  The Company
                  does not anticipate  that the adoption of this SOP will have a
                  material effect on its operations.

(2)         MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS:

            Computer-Aided Software Integration, Inc.--

               On April 24, 1996,  the Company  acquired 80% of the common stock
                  of Computer-Aided Software Integration, Inc. (CASI), a company
                  that develops and licenses software products,  in exchange for
                  $705,000,  including  expenses,  and  44,260  shares of common
                  stock of the  Company  valued at $6.57 per share  based on the
                  average  trading  price  of the  Company's  common  stock  for
                  several  days  before  and after  the date of the  acquisition
                  agreement. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

               In connection  with this  transaction,  the  Company  completed a
                  private placement  offering in March 1996 of 312,500 shares of
                  common  stock.  The  net  proceeds  of the  private  placement
                  offering,  $1,207,000,  were used to acquire 80% of the issued
                  and outstanding shares of common stock of CASI, and to provide
                  CASI with working capital.

               In March 1998, the Company acquired the remaining 20% of CASI for
                  $2,414,000. As part of the purchase price the Company issued a
                  convertible  note due June 15, 1998 for  $1,833,000  (see Note
                  6).  This note was paid in full  subsequent  to  year-end.  In
                  connection  with the  purchase,  the  Company  entered  into a
                  two-year non-compete agreement with the minority shareholder.
                  Consideration for the non-compete agreement was $77,000.

            HH Communications, Inc.--

               On July 31,  1996,  the  Company  acquired  all of the issued and
                  outstanding shares of HH Communications,  Inc. (HH), a systems
                  integrator,  in exchange  for  1,500,000  shares of its common
                  stock.  The transaction has been accounted for as a pooling of
                  interests.

            Datatec Industries, Inc. --

               On October 31, 1996, the Company acquired 98.5% of the issued and
                  outstanding shares of Datatec Industries, Inc., an implementor
                  of  information   communications  networks,  in  exchange  for
                  4,000,000 shares of its common stock. The transaction has been
                  accounted for as a pooling of interests. The remaining 1.5% of
                  Datatec  Industries,  Inc. was  acquired for 50,000  shares of
                  common stock on August 27, 1997.

               The combined results  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of  what
                  actually would have occurred if the  acquisitions  had been in
                  effect for the entire  periods  presented.  In  addition,  the
                  combined results are not intended to be a projection of future
                  results  and  do not  reflect  any  synergies  that  might  be
                  achieved from operations.

(3)           EARNINGS PER SHARE:

               The company  has  adopted  Statement  of   Financial   Accounting
                  Standards  No. 128,  "Earnings  Per Share"  ("SFAS 128") which
                  requires the  presentation of basic earnings per share ("Basic
                  EPS") and diluted  earnings per share ("Diluted  EPS").  Basic
                  EPS is  calculated  by  dividing  income  available  to common
                  shareholders  by the  weighted  average  number  of  shares of
                  common  stock  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted EPS is
                  calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders
                  by the weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding
                  for  the  period  adjusted  to  reflect  potentially  dilutive
                  securities.

               In accordance with SFAS 128, the following  table  reconciles net
                  loss and share  amounts  used to  calculate  basic and diluted
                  earnings per share:

                  have been  excluded  from the  computation  of diluted  EPS as
                  their  inclusion  would  have  been   antidilutive  for  those
                  periods.

                Subsequent to year-end,  the Company issued 300 shares of Series
                   E  Cumulative   Convertible  Preferred  Stock  in  a  private
                   placement  (see Note 8).  The  preferred  shares  convert  to
                   common stock at various  conversion  rates,  as defined.  The
                   impact of these  shares,  had they been  converted  to common
                   stock,  would have been  immaterial  to the basic and diluted

(5)         DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

               Prior  to  fiscal  1997,   the  Company  had  primarily   been  a
                  distributor of data communications equipment.  Commencing with
                  the Company's  acquisition  of Signatel in October  1994,  the
                  Company   revised   its   business   strategy  to  expand  its
                  implementation of information  communication network services.
                  The acquisition of Datatec Industries, Inc. and CASI (see Note
                  2) enabled  the Company to  transition  from  predominantly  a
                  reseller of data  communications  network equipment to an open
                  systems integrator,  providing software-enabled configuration,
                  integration and installation  services.  The acquisition of HH
                  (see Note 2), a systems  integrator,  provided the Company the
                  opportunity  to  introduce  these  services  to  HH's  premier
                  customers.

               After several months of assimilating the Datatec Industries, Inc.
                  acquisition and  repositioning its services,  the Company,  in
                  June 1997,  with the  concurrence  of its Board of  Directors,
                  discontinued its data  communications  equipment  distribution
                  business.  The  Company  is no  longer a  distributor  of data
                  communications  equipment  and during the winding down of this
                  business,   will   only   honor  its   existing   commitments.
                  Accordingly,  as of April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Company
                  has reflected this business as a discontinued operation in the
                  accompanying   consolidated  statements  of  operations.   The
                  winding  down of the  business is expected to be  completed in
                  fiscal 1999.

               Revenues from such operations were  $43,033,000,  $35,178,000 and
                  $3,386,000 for the years ended April 30, 1996,  1997 and 1998,
                  respectively.  Operating  expenses,  including  cost of sales,
                  excluding   reserves   for   discontinued   operations,   were
                  $48,795,000,  $39,887,000  and  $3,904,000 for the years ended
                  April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998,  respectively.  Included in net
                  assets from discontinued  operations as of April 30, 1998 is a
                  10-year  mortgage  agreement with a bank,  with an outstanding
                  balance as of April 30, 1998 of $974,000, and an interest rate
                  of 8.05% per annum.  Beginning in the year 2002,  the interest
                  rate is subject to adjustment, as defined.

               The net loss  of  this   business   during  1998,  in  excess  of
                  provisions for future losses  recorded in 1997, was $2,768,000
                  and  is  reflected  as  loss  from  discontinued   operations.
                  Included in this amount is approximately  $2,250,000  relating
                  to the writedown of accounts receivable and inventories, which
                  were exchanged for barter credits.  Although no value has been
                  recorded  related to the barter  credits,  the Company expects
                  that  this  amount  will  result  in a  reduction  of  certain
                  operating costs over the five-year barter agreement.

               As of April 30, 1996, Datatec  Industries,  Inc. had discontinued
                  its international distribution operations, which sold computer
                  hardware,  and its Shoppertrak  division,  which developed and
                  sold  a  proprietary  system  that  provided  shopper  traffic
                  information.   The   loss   from   operations   in  1996   was
                  approximately  $2,218,000  and the provision for future losses
                  was  approximately  $2,284,000  as of April 30,  1996,  all of
                  which  was  utilized  in  1997.  Revenues  relating  to  these
                  operations were approximately $14,000,000 in 1996.

(6)         SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:

                The Company has a revolving  loan  agreement  that  provides for
                   maximum  borrowings of  $15,000,000.  Availability  under the
                   revolving  loan is  calculated  at the sum of 85% of eligible
                   accounts  receivable,  as  defined,  and  50% of the  cost or
                   wholesale  market  value of eligible  inventory,  as defined.
                   Approximately  $8,866,000  was  outstanding  as of April  30,
                   1998.  The  amount of  additional  available  borrowings,  as
                   defined,  was  $1,028,000 as of April 30, 1998. The revolving
                   loan accrues  interest at the prime rate plus 0.75% (9.25% at
                   April 30, 1998) and matures on March 16, 2000.

                Included  in  short-term  borrowings  is  $1,833,000  due to the
                   minority  shareholder of CASI. The note bears interest at 10%
                   per annum.  On May 1, 1998 the  Company  repaid the note plus
                   accrued interest.

                            ================      ======================


                (a) The Company had  previously  entered into a $1,320,000  loan
                    agreement with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority
                    ("NJEDA").   The  loan  provides  for  monthly  payments  of
                    principal  and  interest  through  June  1,  2002.   Monthly
                    principal payments range from $9,000 to $14,000. Interest is
                    based on a floating rate equal

<PAGE>
                  to the variable rate borne by the NJEDA Economic Growth Bonds.
                  As of April 30, 1998 the interest rate was 4.05%.  The loan is
                  secured by the assets acquired with the loan proceeds.

               (b)The term note bears  interest at a variable  rate equal to the
                  prime rate plus 1.5% (10.0% at April 30,  1998) and is payable
                  monthly.  The principal is payable in monthly installments and
                  matures  in April  2000.  The term note is  collateralized  by
                  certain assets, as defined.

               (c)In February  1997,  the Company  issued  convertible  notes of
                  $2,000,000. In connection with these notes, the Company issued
                  warrants to purchase  700,000  shares of the Company's  common
                  stock at $5.25 per share, the fair market value on the date of
                  issuance.  These  notes are  convertible  at 80% of the market
                  price on the date of  conversion.  Approximately  $825,000 was
                  allocated to paid-in-capital  attributable to the warrants and
                  the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt. The
                  debt was  subsequently  accreted  to face  value by a non-cash
                  charge to interest expense of $575,000 in 1997 and $250,000 in
                  1998.  During fiscal 1998, the entire  principal amount of the
                  notes and accrued interest were converted into an aggregate of
                  approximately 631,000 shares of common stock.

               The scheduled repayments of long-term debt are as follows:


                                1999                   $  1,063,000

 (8)        SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

            Public Offering--

               On May 8, 1995, the Company  consummated a bridge  financing (the
                  "First  Bridge  Financing"),  pursuant  to which it  issued an
                  aggregate of (i)  $1,200,000  principal  amount of  promissory
                  notes (the "Bridge  Notes") which bore interest at the rate of
                  8%  per  annum  and  were  payable  upon  the  earlier  of the
                  consummation  of the Offering) as hereinafter  defined),  (ii)
                  600,000  warrants  (the "First Bridge  Warrants"),  each First
                  Bridge  Warrant  entitling the holder to purchase one share of
                  Common Stock at an initial  exercise price of $1.875  (subject
                  to adjustment  upon the  occurrence of certain  events) during
                  the  three-year  period  commencing  May 8,  1996,  and  (iii)
                  442,478  shares of Common Stock at $1.13 per share.  Financing
                  fees of  approximately  $260,000  were  incurred in connection
                  with the First Bridge Financing.  Upon the consummation of the
                  Offering,  each First  Bridge  Warrant

                                      -23-

<PAGE>

                  was converted into a redeemable warrant having terms identical
                  to those  of the  redeemable  warrants  underlying  the  units
                  offering in the  Offering.  The  Company  recorded an original
                  issuance  discount  of $120,000  associated  with (i) and (ii)
                  above.

               On June 13, 1995, the Company consummated a bridge financing (the
                  "Second  Bridge  Financing")  pursuant  to which it  issued an
                  aggregate of 350,000 warrants (the "Second Bridge  Warrants").
                  Each Second Bridge Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
                  share of Common  Stock at an initial  exercise  price of $1.74
                  per share  during the three year  period  commencing  June 13,
                  1996.  The net proceeds from the Second Bridge  Financing were
                  approximately $70,000. Upon consummation of the Offering, each
                  First Bridge Warrant was converted  into a redeemable  warrant
                  having  terms  identical to those of the  redeemable  warrants
                  underlying the units offered in the Offering.

               On September  28,  1995,  the Company  completed  the Offering of
                  1,783,000 units at $5.00 per unit (including an  overallotment
                  of  258,000  units  in  October  1995)  for  net  proceeds  of
                  approximately $6,485,000. Each unit consisted of two shares of
                  common  stock  and one  redeemable  warrant.  Each  redeemable
                  warrant  entitles  the holder to purchase  one share of common
                  stock at an  initial  exercise  price of $3.75 per  share.  In
                  addition,  in  connection  with the sale of 400,000  shares of
                  common  stock by certain  selling  shareholders,  the  Company
                  contributed  200,000  redeemable  warrants (valued at $50,000)
                  that  were   included  in  the  200,000  units  sold  by  such
                  shareholders. In addition, the Company granted its underwriter
                  warrants to purchase 517,500 shares of common stock at $4.69.

            Preferred Stock--

               During 1997, the Company issued 350,000 shares of Series A, B and
                  C convertible preferred stock,  including warrants to purchase
                  175,000  shares of common stock at fair market value.  The net
                  proceeds from these issuances were  approximately  $6,562,000.
                  The  conversion  price  of the  preferred  stock  would be the
                  lesser of (a) the  average  per share  market  value for the 5
                  trading day  immediately  preceding the original issue date or
                  (b) 80%,  69.5% and 69.5%,  respectively,  of the  average per
                  share market value in the 5 trading days immediately preceding
                  the conversion date. Approximately $2,128,000 was allocated to
                  additional   paid-in-capital  for  the  beneficial  conversion
                  feature of the  convertible  preferred  stock.  The  preferred
                  stock  was  accreted  to face  value by a  non-cash  charge to
                  accumulated  deficit during fiscal 1997.  This amount has been
                  deducted from income available to common  shareholders for EPS
                  purposes.  The preferred stock was subsequently converted into
                  approximately 2,500,000 shares of common stock during 1997.

               In May 1998, the Company issued 300 shares of Series E Cumulative
                  Convertible

                                      -24-
<PAGE>

                  Preferred  Stock.  The net proceeds  from this  issuance  were
                  approximately  $2,350,000. In connection with the transaction,
                  the Company  issued  warrants to  purchase  165,000  shares of
                  common  stock at $6.29.  The Series E  Cumulative  Convertible
                  Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at the lesser
                  of $6.29 or the average of the closing bid prices  selected by
                  the holder for 2 days during the 10 days immediately  prior to
                  the conversion  date (the "Floating  Conversion  Price").  The
                  fair  market  value  on the  date of  grant  was  $5.50  which
                  approximated the Floating Conversion Price.

            Common Stock--

               During fiscal 1998, the Company, through private placement equity
                  offerings,   issued   855,000   shares  of  common  stock  for
                  approximately $3,080,000.

               In September 1997, the Company  provided notice to its redeemable
                  warrant  holders  that it would redeem each warrant on October
                  23,  1997 for  $0.05  if not  exercised  prior  to that  date.
                  Throughout the month of October 1997, a total of approximately
                  2,743,000  warrants were exercised and 12,360  warrants are in
                  process of redemption subsequent to year-end.

               The Company follows the guidance prescribed by SFAS No. 123 in
                  accounting for its warrants.

               Under  an  agreement  with  Direct  Connect  International,  Inc.
                  ("DCI")  dated  January 7, 1994,  as amended on July 10, 1997,
                  the  Company  has the right to require  DCI to  purchase up to
                  1,207,239  additional shares  ("Additional  Shares") of Common
                  Stock of the  Company  at a per  share  price of  $6.54,  less
                  certain  warrant   solicitation   fees  (the  "Additional  DCI
                  Investment").  The  Company may  require  the  Additional  DCI
                  Investment if, and then only to the extent,  that DCI receives
                  proceeds from the exercise of existing DCI warrants, which are
                  scheduled to expire on March 31, 1999. If the Company does not
                  require the Additional DCI Investment, DCI may still purchase,
                  on the same terms, the Additional Shares. These rights are not
                  included in the above table.

 (9)        INCOME TAXES:

               The Company  accounts for income  taxes under the  provisions  of
                  SFAS 109. The statement  requires  that deferred  income taxes
                  reflect the tax  consequences  on future years of  differences
                  between  the tax basis of  assets  and  liabilities  and their
                  financial reporting amounts.

               The net deferred tax asset  recorded as of April 30, 1998 relates
                  to the tax  attributes  for certain state net  operating  loss
                  carryforwards  which the  Company has the ability to sell as a
                  result of recent changes to the New Jersey State tax laws. The
                  Company has made an assessment  of the new law and  determined
                  that realization of the net deferred tax asset relating to the
                  state  operating loss  carryforwards  is more likely than not.
                  However,  there can be no assurance that the asset can or will
                  be  sold  prior  to its  expiration.  The net  operating  loss
                  carryforwards expire at various dates through 2003.

               There are no  undistributed  earnings  in the  Company's  foreign
               subsidiaries.

               As of April 30, 1998, the Company has  approximately  $13,000,000
                  of net  operating  loss  carryforwards,  which  may be used to
                  offset future Federal taxable income. These net operating loss
                  carryforwards expire through 2013.

 (10)       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

               The Company  has   outstanding   loans  of  $485,000  to  certain
                  executive  officers of the Company.  These loans bear interest
                  at 8% per annum. Three of these loans,  representing $360,000,
                  are  repayable  with  the  proceeds  from  the  sale of  stock
                  received  from  future  exercise  of  stock  options  of these
                  executives. All of these loans mature on December 31, 1999.

               The Company owes an executive officer  $1,414,000. The note bears
                  interest at a rate of 12.5%.  The note matures on November 20,
                  1998 and is  subordinated  to the  Company's  primary  lender.
                  Borrowings   with  this   lender  are  due  March  16,   2000,
                  accordingly the above note has been classified as long-term in
                  the accompanying balance sheets.

               The Company continues  to lease a  facility  from a company  with
                  whom an  executive  officer is  affiliated.  The annual  lease
                  payment on the facility is included in Note 12.

(11)        INCENTIVE PLANS

               At April 30, 1998 the Company had several  stock-based  incentive
                  plans  including an employee stock  purchase  plan,  which are
                  described  below.  The Company  applies APB Opinion No. 25 for
                  its  plans.   Accordingly,   no  compensation  cost  has  been
                  recognized   for  its   stock-based   incentive   plans.   Had
                  compensation  cost for the  Company's  stock-based  plans been

                  at least equal to 110% of the fair  market  value of the share
                  on the grant date.  The options are granted for no more than a
                  10-year  term (5 years for 10%  shareholders)  and the vesting
                  periods range from 2 to 4 years. As of April 30, 1998,  27,402

                  value of such shares on the grant date,  as  determined by the
                  Board of Directors.  The exercise price of any options granted
                  to a person owning more than 10% of the combined  voting power
                  of all  classes of stock of the Company  ("10%  shareholder"),
                  shall be at least  equal to 110% of the fair  market  value of

                  Company ("Eligible  Directors") are eligible to receive grants

                  Eligible  Director is elected to the Board of  Directors,  and
                  will be granted  another  option to purchase  24,000 shares of
                  Common  Stock  annually  thereafter  so long as he  remains an
                  Eligible Director. Generally, each option vests ratably over a
                  three-year period provided such individual  continues to serve
                  as  Director of the  Company.  As of April 30,  1998,  188,000

                  the grant  date.  The  options  are granted for no more than a
                  10-year  term and the vesting  periods are  determined  by the
                  Board of Directors. As of April 30,1998, 753,002 shares remain

            Employee Stock Purchase Plan--

               During fiscal 1998,  the Company  implemented  an employee  stock
                  purchase  plan whereby  eligible  employees,  as defined,  may
                  purchase shares of the Company's common stock at a price equal
                  to 85% of the lower of the closing  market  price on the first
                  or last trading day of the plan's quarter.  A total of 750,000
                  shares of common stock have been  reserved for issuance  under
                  the  plan.   As  of  April  30,  1998  the  Company   received
                  contributions  of $90,000 and in May 1998 issued 29,800 shares
                  of common stock to participants of the plan.

            Retirement Plans--

               The Company  currently   has  two   contributory   401(k)  salary
                  reduction  plans which permit  employees to contribute if they
                  are at  least  21  years  of age  and  have  been a full  time
                  employee of the Company for six months.

               The Glasgal Communications,  Inc. Salary  Reduction Plan (Savings
                  Plan I)  requires  a minimum  contribution  of 2% of the gross


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

                  earnings and no more than 15% of the gross  earnings up to the
                  maximum  allowed by the IRS.  Savings Plan I matches a maximum
                  of $600 annually, per participant.  The matching contributions
                  for the three years ended April 30,  1996,  1997 and 1998 were
                  $17,000, $15,000, and $11,000 respectively.

               The Datatec Industries,  Inc.  401(k)  Savings Plan (Savings Plan
                  II) requires a minimum contribution of 1% of the gross earning
                  and no more than 15% of the gross  earnings  up to the maximum
                  allowed by the IRS. Savings Plan II does not provide a company
                  match of any of the employee's contributions.

 (12)       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

               The Company  leases   offices  and   staging  and   configuration
                  facilities from related and unrelated  parties  throughout the
                  United  States and  Canada.  The  minimum  annual  rentals for
                  future years are as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

               Rent expense was  $1,785,000,  $1,713,000  and $1,809,000 for the
                  years ended April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively.

               The Company has  one-year  lease  commitments  for its  fleet  of
                  vehicles.   Lease  expense   related  to  these  vehicles  was
                  $1,155,000,  $1,347,000  and  $1,505,000  for the years  ended
                  April 30, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively. The leases expire
                  throughout the year,  most with an option for renewal.  Future
                  commitments  are not  reflected  in the amounts  above but are
                  expected to approximate the 1998 expense.

               The Company has entered into employment  agreements with nine key
                  employees.  These  agreements  provide for an aggregate annual
                  salary of  $1,530,000,  increased  annually by the  percentage
                  increase in the  consumer  price  index.  The  agreements  are
                  generally  three years in duration and expire through  October
                  1999.

               The Company, from time to time, is involved in routine litigation
                  and various legal matters in the ordinary  course of business.
                  The Company does not expect that the ultimate  outcome of this
                  litigation will have a material  adverse effect on the results
                  of operations or financial position.

(13)        CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

               The Company's financial  instruments  subject to credit  risk are
                  primarily trade accounts  receivable.  Generally,  the Company
                  does not  require  collateral  or other  security  to  support
                  customer  receivables.   At  April  30,  1998,  the  Company's
                  customers were primarily within the continental  United States
                  and Canada.  Customers  representing  approximately 56% of the
                  Company's net sales are in the retail industry.

               In the year ended  April 30,  1996,  two  customers  had sales of
                  $5,000,000 and $4,700,000,  for the year ended April 30, 1997,
                  two customers had sales of $7,000,000 and $6,000,000,  and for
                  the year ended April 30, 1998, no customer exceeded 10% of net
                  sales.

(14)        RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS:

               In April 1996,  the  Company  recorded  restructuring  charges of
                  $6,756,000  relating  to  reducing  costs  and  improving  the
                  Company's  efficiency.  These charges are included in selling,
                  general and administration  expense and included $2,049,000 in
                  noncash  write-downs  of certain of the  Company's  long-lived
                  assets based upon the criteria  described in Note 1 as well as
                  the establishment of $4,707,000 of accrued liabilities,  which
                  included  $1,984,000 of projected  cash outflows for personnel
                  severance and facilities consolidation plans.

(15)        RECAPITALIZATION

               In January 1996, the Company was  reincorporated  in the State of
                  Delaware  and each  outstanding  share  of the old  California
                  Corporation, no par value common stock, was converted into one
                  share of the new Delaware  Corporation  $.001 par value common
                  stock.  This change  resulted in the  transfer of $20,000 from
                  additional  paid-in  capital to common stock.  In  conjunction
                  with the reincorporation, the Company increased the authorized
                  common stock from 21,000,000 shares to 34,000,000 shares.

               In January  1998,  the Company  increased the  authorized  common
                  stock from 34,000,000 shares to 75,000,000 shares.

(16)        SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

               On January 30, 1998, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder
                  rights plan. Under the rights plan, each shareholder of record
                  on March 9, 1998,  received  a dividend  of one right for each
                  outstanding share of Common Stock. The rights are attached to,
                  and presently  only trade with, the Common Stock and currently
                  are not exercisable.  Accordingly,  they are not considered in
                  the  computation  of earnings  per share.  Except as specified
                  below, upon becoming  exercisable,  all rights holders will be
                  entitled to purchase from the Company one  one-hundredth  of a
                  share of Series D Preferred  Stock  ("Participating  Preferred
                  Stock") at a price of $40, subject to adjustment.

               The rights become exercisable and will begin to trade  separately
                  from the Common  Stock upon the  earlier of (i) the first date
                  of  public  announcement  that a person or group  (other  than
                  certain  exempted  shareholders  as  described  in the  Rights
                  Agreement) has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of
                  the  outstanding   Common  Stock  or  (ii)  10  business  days
                  following   a  person's   or  group's   commencement   of,  or
                  announcement  of,  and  intention  to  commence  a  tender  or
                  exchange  offer,  the  consummation  of which would  result in
                  beneficial  ownership of 15% or more of the Common Stock.  The
                  rights will entitle  holders (other than an Acquiring  Person,
                  as defined) to purchase  Company  Common Stock having a market
                  value  (immediately  prior to such  acquisition)  of twice the
                  exercise  price  of the  right.  If the  Company  is  acquired
                  through a merger  or other  business  combination  transaction
                  after a person or group has become an Acquiring  Person,  each
                  right will  entitle  the holder to  purchase  $80 worth of the
                  surviving  company's  common  stock  for $40,  i.e.,  at a 50%
                  discount.  The Company may redeem the rights for $0.01 each at
                  any  time  prior  to the  acquisition  of 15% or  more  of the
                  outstanding  shares  of  Common  Stock by a person or group of
                  persons. The rights will expire on February 24, 2008.

               Until the rights are exercised,  the holder thereof, as such will
                  have no  rights as a  stockholder  of the  Company,  including
                  without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.

               The holders of the Participating Preferred Stock will be entitled
                  to receive  dividends,  if declared by the Board of Directors,
                  from funds  legally  available.  Each  share of  Participating
                  Preferred  Stock will be entitled to one hundred  votes on all
                  matters   submitted  to   stockholder   vote.  The  shares  of
                  Participating  Preferred  Stock  are  not  redeemable  by  the
                  Company  nor  convertible  into  Common  Stock  or  any  other
                  security of the Company.

                                                                  --------------
                 Liabilities Assumed                                  $  871,000
                                                                  ==============

               In March 1998,  the Company  purchased  the  remaining 20% of the
                  common  stock  of CASI  for  $581,000  in cash  plus a note of
                  $1,833,000. In addition, the Company incurred $89,000 of legal
                  costs associated with the closing of this transaction. As part
                  of this transaction,  the Company recorded additional goodwill
                  of approximately $2,503,000.

               During 1997, the Company  converted  $561,000 of accounts payable
                  into 171,000 shares of common stock.

               During fiscal 1998,  $2,000,000 of convertible notes plus accrued
                  interest  were  converted  into an aggregate of  approximately
                  631,000 shares of common stock.

(18)        RESTATEMENTS

               The financial position and results of operations presented in the
                  consolidated  financial statements and footnotes for the years
                  ended April 30, 1997 and 1998 and the unaudited quarters ended
                  October 31, 1996, January 31, 1997 and July 31, 1997 have been
                  restated to give effect to the  valuation  of (i)  convertible
                  preferred stock and convertible debt with warrants,  both with
                  beneficial conversion features, issued in fiscal 1997 (Notes 7
                  and 8) and (ii) assets  associated  with a barter  transaction
                  executed in fiscal 1998 (Note 5).

               The non-cash  accretion  of  the  discount   applicable   to  the
                  convertible  securities  has been  reflected  in the  restated
                  consolidated   financial  statements  as  additional  interest
                  expense  relating to the  convertible  notes and as additional
                  preferred  dividends  relating to the preferred stock and such
                  discount  has  been  accreted   through  the  first   possible
                  conversion  date of the  respective  issuance.  None of  these
                  restatements had any effect on cash flows of the Company.
