           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       For the Three and Six Months
                      Ended January 31, 1995 and 1994

1.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which
    should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for
    the fiscal year ended July 31, 1994, apply to the Company and its
    wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect all adjustments which are, in the
    opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the 
    Company's consolidated financial position as of January 31, 1995 and
    the results of operations for the three and six months ended
    January 31, 1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for such 
    periods, however, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
    expected for a full fiscal year.

    Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated
    financial statements to conform to the January 31, 1995 presentation.

2.  The Company has recorded a benefit for income taxes for the three and 
    six months ended January 31, 1995 of $284,000 and $528,000, respectively. 
    The benefit is based on the projected annualized effective tax rate for
    the fiscal year including the effects of state taxes and foreign tax
    liabilities.

3.  As noted in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company had a
    working capital facility which expired on December 31, 1994.  The bank
    has agreed to extend the facility until April 15, 1995.  The facility, 
    as extended, provides for a total borrowing capacity of $5,500,000 
    subject to a maximum based on qualified accounts receivable.  At
    January 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed the maximum allowed under the
    formula.  

    The Company also has an acquisition term loan and other term loans with
    its principal bank which require monthly payments.  These loans bear
    interest ranging from the prime rate to the prime rate plus 1/2% and
    require payments of $210,000 per month plus accrued interest. 
    At January 31, 1995, the total principal due under all term loans was
    $5,407,000.

    At January 31, 1995, the Company was not in compliance with one of the
    covenants in the loan agreement.  Therefore, the portion of these loans
    due after January 31, 1996 totalling in the aggregate, $2,887,000, has 
    been classified as a current liability.  The Bank has agreed not to take
    any action regarding the non-compliance.  The Company is in the process 
    of renegotiating the loan agreement with its principal bank.

4.  In February 1995, Henry D. Epstein exercised 80,000 Class B warrants
    which were issued in March 1987.  These warrants were issued with a 
    per share exercise price of $2.34, the fair market value of the Company's
    common shares on the date the warrants were issued.  Mr. Epstein 
    exercised the warrants by remitting 62,400 shares with a fair market 
    value of $3.00 on the date of the exercise.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
           and Results of Operations

                      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first half of fiscal 1995, the Company has generated cash of
$896,000 from operating activities primarily from non-cash expenses 
(mostly depreciation) of $1,741,000, a reduction in accounts receivable of
$1,445,000 and an increase in accounts payable and other current liabilities
of $445,000.
<PAGE>

These are partially offset by the loss from operations of $2,112,000 and an
increase in inventories of $522,000.  The decrease in accounts receivable is
the result of the normal collection of earlier sales and the lower sales
volume while the increase in accounts payable results from better management
of payments to vendors.

The increase in inventories, which are significantly lower than the increase
experienced in the comparable fiscal 1994 period, are the result of lower
than expected sales in January partially offset by the reduction in
inventories of products being phased out.  The Company regularly provides a
reserve for products which are obsolete and therefore does not expect any
unusual write-offs as a result of the phase out of older products.

In addition to cash generated from operations, the Company has increased the
amount borrowed from its principal bank.  As described in the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the working capital facility
was originally scheduled to expire on December 31, 1994.  The bank has
agreed to extend the facility until April 15, 1995 and is currently 
renegotiating the loan agreement.  At January 31, 1995, the Company had 
borrowed the maximum allowed under the facility.  Because of the significant 
loss for the first six months of fiscal 1995, the Company was not in 
compliance with one of the covenants of the loan agreement.  As a result of 
the non-compliance, all outstanding loans have been classified entirely as a
current liability. The bank has agreed not to take any action regarding the 
non-compliance while negotiations for a new loan agreement are proceeding.

In order to generate cash, The Company is also attempting to sell the 
variable autotransformer and power supply product lines which are part of 
the Company's Technipower subsidiary.  If the transaction occurs, it is 
anticipated some portion of the cash generated will be available to finance 
growth of data communications products.

The ability of the Company to generate adequate cash for operational and 
capital needs is dependent on the Company successfully completing the loan 
negotiations with its principal bank.

                           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company instituted an expense 
reduction program at the Datability Networks division.  This program is 
expected to result in savings of over $3,000,000 annually with the financial
benefits beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were $15,258,000 compared to 
$18,809,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1994, or a decrease of 
$3,551,000 (19%).  For the first half of fiscal 1995 revenues were 
$30,642,000 compared to $37,320,000, or a decrease of $6,678,000 (18%).  
Revenues for both the three and six months compared to the prior year are 
lower as customers have been holding orders awaiting the release of
the newer technology V.34 modems and shipments of new wide area networking 
products.  The Company expects to start shipping V.34 modems during the 
third quarter.  Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 were at
the same level as the first quarter of  fiscal 1995.

Gross margins for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 decreased to 44% from 
47% in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  Gross margins for the first half 
of fiscal 1995 were 45% compared to 48% for the first half of fiscal 1994.  
The decline in margins is the result of the lower production volumes which 
generated higher unfavorable manufacturing variances in fiscal 1995 compared 
to fiscal 1994.

Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $164,000 (3%) to 
$5,239,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 from $5,403,000 in the 
second quarter of fiscal 1994.  Lower commissions in the second quarter
of fiscal 1995 due to the lower sales volume are the cause of this 
reduction.  For the first half

of fiscal 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses were 
$10,565,000 compared to $11,055,000 for the first half of fiscal 1994, or a 
decrease of $490,000 (4%).  This decrease was caused by lower commissions 
due to the lower sales volume and the savings that resulted from deleting 
several administrative functions in the Carlstadt, New Jersey facility 
during the first quarter of fiscal 1994.  

Product development and engineering expenses for the second quarter of 
fiscal 1995 were $2,353,000 compared to $2,555,000 for the second quarter of
fiscal 1994, or a decrease of $202,000 (8%). For the first six months of 
fiscal 1995, product development and engineering expenses were $4,622,000 
compared to $5,019,000, or a decrease of $397,000 (8%).  During fiscal 1994, 
the Company consolidated several engineering tasks in Gaithersburg which 
resulted in overall savings and reduced total payroll costs by approximately
$200,000 per quarter.

The amount of debt outstanding at January 31, 1995 was $12,650,000.  The 
increase in outstanding debt along with the increase in average interest 
rates from 7.4% for the first six months of fiscal 1994 to 8.5% for the 
first six months of fiscal 1995, have increased the interest expense for 
both the three and six months ended January 31, 1995 compared to the same 
periods in fiscal 1994.  

For the first six months of fiscal 1995, the Company has recorded a tax 
benefit of $528,000 as a result of the loss before income taxes of 
$2,640,000.  The benefit is based on the annualized effective tax rate
projected for the full fiscal year including the effect of state taxes and 
foreign taxes.  In the first six months of fiscal 1994, the Company recorded
a tax benefit of $253,000 as a result of a review of the reserve 
requirements under SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
