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

Microlog  Corporation  designs,  manufactures,  markets and supports a series of
microprocessor-based  voice  processing  systems  which  allow  users to  store,
retrieve and transmit  digitized  voice  messages and to access  information  on
computer data bases.  The Company's voice  processing  products  include the VCS
INTELA,  VCS  3500  and  CallStar  models,  which  are  comprised  of  specially
configured  microprocessor-based  hardware  platforms and versatile  proprietary
applications  software  that  enables  the  systems  to perform  multiple  voice
processing applications.

The Company also provides  performance analysis and technical and administrative
support services ("performance  analysis") through its wholly-owned  subsidiary,
Old  Dominion  Systems  Inc.  of  Maryland,  primarily  to the  Applied  Physics
Laboratory  ("APL") and American  Telephone  and  Telegraph  (AT&T),  both prime
contractors to the U.S. Navy.

The  percentage of the Company's  sales  generated by the Company's two business
segments  has  varied  significantly  from  period to  period,  but the  Company
anticipates that any significant  growth in sales will be derived primarily from
increases in voice processing sales.

The  following  table sets forth for the periods  indicated  the  percentage  of
revenues of certain items from the Company's condensed consolidated statement of
operations and retained earnings:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company had a net income of $362,000  ($.09 per share) for the quarter ended
July 31, 1995 and a net income of $928,000  ($.23 per share) for the nine months
ended July 31,  1995.  This  compares  to net a loss of $3.4  million  ($.87 per
share) and a net loss of $5.3  million  ($1.37  per  share)  for the  comparable
periods in fiscal 1994. The improvement in earnings is primarily attributable to
a  restructuring  of the  Company's  voice  processing  operations  in the third
quarter of fiscal 1994 and an increase in voice processing net sales.

The Company was in default  under its  mortgage  loan  covenants  at January 31,
1994,  April 30, 1994,  and July 31, 1994 and received  waivers from its bank of
these  covenants  through July 31, 1994. In connection  with these waivers,  the
maturity  date of the  loan  was  accelerated  by  agreement  with  the  bank to
September 30, 1994. The bank subsequently  extended the due date of the mortgage
loan until  December 31, 1994, in return for which the Company paid an extension
fee of 1% of the  mortgage  note  balance  at  September  30,  1994  and made an
additional  principal  payment of  $100,000  on  September  30, 1994 and $50,000
payments on October 15,  1994,  November 15,  1994,  and December 15, 1994.  The
Company  obtained an  additional  extension of the due date of the mortgage note
until June 30,  1995.  This  extension  required  the Company to pay  additional
principal payments of $37,500 per month from February 1995 through June 1995.

The Company  believes,  based upon its recent financial  results and discussions
with its  bank,  that it will be able to obtain an  additional  extension  until
October 31, 1995 from the bank.  This extension will require the Company to make
monthly $20,000 principal payments, plus interest,  starting in August. The bank
has indicated,  in connection with this last extension,  that the bank presently
does not intend to grant further  significant  extensions.  The Company has been
pursuing  financing  alternatives and has received several financing offers that
would allow the Company to refinance its mortgage and provide  working  capital.
Although  each of such offers has certain  terms that the Company  would like to
improve upon and is subject to various conditions,  the Company believes that at
least one of these offers  would be  acceptable  to the Company,  and intends to
accept one of such offers in sufficient time to meet its obligation to repay the
mortgage on October 31, 1995.

NET SALES

Net  sales for the  quarter  ending  July 31,  1995  were  $5.6  million,  which
represented  an increase of 30% as compared to $4.3  million of net sales in the
quarter  ending July 31, 1994.  Net sales were $16.3 million for the nine months
ended July 31, 1995,  which  represented  a 27% increase  from net sales for the
nine months ended July 31, 1994 of $12.8  million.  The increase in net sales is
primarily attributable to increases in voice processing net sales.

VOICE PROCESSING NET SALES

Net sales of voice  processing  products were $3.6 million for the quarter ended
July 31, 1995, which  represented a 64% increase from voice processing net sales
of $2.2  million  for the  quarter  ended  July 31,  1994.  Net sales were $10.0
million  for the nine  months  ended  July 31,  1995,  which  represented  a 43%
increase from voice processing net sales for the nine months ended July 31, 1994
of $7.0 million. The increase in sales is primarily attributable to increases in
sales of the Company's products to large multiple unit government  customers and
to  international   customers.   For  the  nine  months  ended  July  31,  1995,
international  sales were 10.6% of voice processing net sales, which represented
a 133%  increase  over  international  sales for the nine months  ended July 31,
1994.

The Company is  pursuing a strategy  that it believes  will  increase  its voice
processing  sales.  This strategy includes the introduction of enhanced products
with  additional  features  not  previously  offered by the  Company's  VCS 3500
products,  pursuit of large  government  procurements and other large multi-unit
customers, targeting of select industries or vertical markets with special voice
processing  applications and entering into  arrangements with large resellers or
distributors.  Microlog  introduced a new product in March 1994,  the VCS INTELA
("INTELA"),  which  uses  a  multi-tasking  UNIX  operating  system  and  offers
additional  features that the Company believes will improve the  competitiveness
of its VCS product  line.  Microlog  believes that  customers  are  particularly
interested in the latest technological features, and that continual improvements
to its products and  development of new products are essential if the Company is
to increase its voice processing revenues.

As of July 31,  1995,  the Company  had a backlog of  existing  orders for voice
processing systems totaling $3.3 million. By comparison,  the backlog as of July
31,  1994 was $4.0  million.  The Company has  experienced  fluctuations  in its
backlog at various times during the past two fiscal years attributable primarily
to the  seasonality  of  governmental  purchases.  In addition,  the Company has
observed a  lengthening  of the period  between the date of booking an order and
the date of  shipment,  with the shipment  depending  on any  customer  delivery
schedules and any customization  needed for VCS 3500 or VCS INTELA applications.
The Company  anticipates  that most of the  outstanding  orders at July 31, 1995
will be  shipped  and the  sales  recognized  during  the next  three  quarters.
Although the Company believes that its entire backlog of orders consists of firm
orders, because of the possibility of customer changes in delivery schedules and
delays inherent in the government  contracting process, the Company's backlog as
of any  particular  date may not be  indicative  of actual  sales for any future
period.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS AND SUPPORT SERVICES NET SALES

Net sales from  performance  analysis and support services were $2.0 million for
the quarter  ended July 31, 1995 as compared to $2.1 million for the same period
in fiscal  1994.  Net sales were $6.3 million for the nine months ended July 31,
1995,  which  represents an 8% increase from net sales for the nine months ended
July 31, 1994. This increase resulted from the addition of new contracts as well
as increases in the level of work authorized under existing contracts from Johns
Hopkins Applied Physics  Laboratory (APL), the Company's  principal customer for
these services.

During the quarter ended July 31, 1995, APL terminated 14 Company employees as a
result of a  laboratory-wide  reduction in force.  These  employees  represented
approximately  10%  of  the  Company's   performance   analysis  work-force  and
approximately  675,000  (approximately  8%) of annual  net sales of  performance
analysis and support  services.  During the most recent quarter the Company also
lost an additional 7 employees who were hired directly by APL.  These  employees
represented  approximately 5% of the Company's  performance  analysis work-force
and approximately $365,000 (approximately 4%) of annual net sales of performance
analysis  and  support  services.  The  Company  did not incur  any  significant
severance costs in connection with these employee  terminations  and expects its
pre-tax income to decline by approximately  $160,000 annually as a result of the
expected  decline  in net  sales.  The  Company  is not aware of any  additional
employee  terminations  at APL.  However,  there is no assurance that additional
terminations will not occur during the fiscal year or thereafter.




                                       9
<PAGE>
The Company is seeking to diversify its operations for performance  analysis and
support services by seeking contracts in non-defense  related areas.  Because of
the lower profit  margins  allowed on  contracts  for  performance  analysis and
support  services and the  Company's  limited  success to date in obtaining  new
contracts  with  contractors  and agencies  other than APL or AT&T,  the Company
believes  that  this  segment  of its  business  is not  likely  to  generate  a
substantial increase in profitability.  Nevertheless,  the Company believes that
its  performance  analysis  contracts are likely to continue to provide a stable
source  of sales for the  Company.  The  Company  does not  anticipate  that any
additional changes in defense priorities or spending will result in any material
adverse  affect  over the  remainder  of this  fiscal year on its net sales from
performance  analysis  and  support  services  nor alter the  manner in which it
procures  contracts  for such  services.  However,  there is no  assurance  that
changes in defense  priorities or continuing  budget  reductions  will not cause
such an effect during the fiscal year or thereafter.

As of July 31, 1995, the Company had a backlog of funding on existing  contracts
for  performance  analysis  and  support  services  totaling  $3.9  million.  By
comparison,  the backlog as of July 31, 1994 was $4.7  million.  The decrease in
backlog is  attributable  primarily  to a reduction in the  remaining  term of a
significant  multi-year  contract.  The Company  anticipates that these services
will be provided  during the next three  fiscal  years.  Of the $3.9  million of
backlog at July 31, 1995, $2.5 million will be recognized as sales beyond fiscal
1995.  Because of the delays inherent in the government  contracting  process or
possible changes in defense priorities or spending,  the Company's backlog as of
any particular date may not be indicative of actual sales for any future period.
Although the Company believes that its backlog of funding on existing  contracts
is firm,  the  possibility  exists that funding for some  contracts on which the
Company  is  continuing  to work,  in the  expectation  of  renewal,  may not be
authorized  (and the Government has the right to cancel  contracts at any time),
although to date such a possibility  has not been  realized.  See "Liquidity and
Capital Reserves."

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of sales was $3.1 million or 56.5% of net sales for the quarter  ended July
31, 1995,  and $9.5 million or 58.2% of net sales for the nine months ended July
31, 1995. By  comparison,  cost of sales was $4.5 million or 104.3% of net sales
for the quarter ended July 31, 1994, and $10.7 million or 83.9% of net sales for
the nine  months  ended  July 31,  1994.  The  decrease  in cost of sales,  as a
percentage of net sales, is primarily  attributable to the higher  percentage of
voice  processing net sales for the quarter as compared to performance  analysis
and support services net sales.  Performance analysis and support services has a
significantly higher cost of sales compared to voice processing.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased to $1.6 million or 29.6%
of net sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1995, as compared to $2.2 million or
50.5% of net sales for the quarter July 31, 1994. For the nine months ended July
31, 1995, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $4.6 million
or 28.5% of net sales as compared  to $5.6  million or 43.4 of net sales for the
same time  period  last year.  The  decrease,  as a percent  of net  sales,  was
attributable  primarily to an increase in voice processing net sales and to cost
cutting  measures  and  the  restructuring  of the  Company's  voice  processing
operations in fiscal 1994.

Research and development  expenses reflect costs associated with the development
of  applicable  software  and  product  enhancements  for  the  Company's  voice
processing systems.  Research and development  expenses were $390,000 or 7.0% of
net sales for the quarter  ended July 31, 1995, as compared to $441,000 or 10.3%
of net sales for the quarter ended July 31, 1994. For the nine months ended July
31, 1995,  research and  development  expenses  were $1.2 million or 7.2% of net
sales as compared to $1.2 million or 9.5% of net sales for the  comparable  nine
months ended July 31, 1994.  The  decrease,  as a percentage  of net sales,  was
attributable  primarily to an increase in voice processing net sales and to cost
cutting  measures  and  the  restructuring  of the  Company's  voice  processing
operations.  The Company expects that research and  development  expenses during
fiscal  1995 will be at the same level as those  incurred  in fiscal 1994 as the
Company continues to develop new products and enhance its


                                       10
<PAGE>

existing  products.  The  Company  believes  that the  process  of  establishing
technological  feasibility with its new products is completed approximately upon
release of the products to its customers. Hence, the Company does not anticipate
capitalizing engineering development costs.

RESTRUCTURING COSTS

In the quarter ended July 31, 1994, the Company's  voice  processing  operations
were restructured  extensively at a cost of approximately $550,000. This was the
third such restructuring in the past four years, and resulted from the Company's
on-going  significant losses during three of the past four years due to declines
in revenues  for voice  processing  products  and/or  failure to  increase  such
revenues  to keep pace with  planned  increases  in  expenditures.  The  Company
believes  that the  restructuring  has had a positive  impact on the  results of
fiscal 1995 by reducing employment,  overhead and ongoing costs of approximately
$1.4  million  annually,  and the  Company  does not  believe  that any  further
cutbacks will be necessary over its next fiscal year.

NET OTHER EXPENSE

Net other  expense was $21,000 and $76,000 for the quarter and nine months ended
July 31, 1995 as compared to $23,000 and $15,000 for the same periods last year.
For the quarter ended April 30, 1994, the Company realized a $42,000 gain on the
sale of one of its two office condominium units.  Without this gain, the Company
would have had a net other expense of $57,000 for the nine months ended July 31,
1994. Net other expense consisted primarily of interest expense.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The  Company  has  exhausted  its  ability to carry  losses  back for income tax
refunds.  However,  net operating  loss and tax credit carry forwards for income
tax   reporting   purposes  of   approximately   $10.3   million  and  $156,000,
respectively,  at October 31, 1994,  will be available to offset taxes generated
from future taxable income.  These  potential  future tax benefits have not been
reflected in the financial  statements  since  realization  is not assured.  Tax
expense  for the three  months and nine  months  ended  July 31,  1995 was fully
offset by a related  reduction in the deferred tax asset valuation  allowance in
the period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working  capital as of July 31,  1995 was  $151,000  as  compared  to a negative
$704,000 as of October 31, 1994.  The  increase in working  capital is primarily
attributable  to the net income in the first three quarters of fiscal 1995. Cash
and cash  equivalents  as of July 31,  1995 were  $962,000  as  compared to $1.2
million as of October 31, 1994. The decline in cash is primarily attributable to
reductions of debt of $520,000,  consisting principally of payments of principal
under the Company's  mortgage loan,  purchase of fixed assets and an increase in
accounts  receivable  resulting from the higher voice  processing  revenues.  As
discussed below, the Company is seeking additional financing for working capital
purposes.  Several of the  financing  offers the Company is  evaluating  include
working  capital  lines of credit that will be secured by  accounts  receivable,
inventory, furniture and equipment.

Accounts  receivable as of July 31, 1995 were $2.9 million,  as compared to $2.7
million as of October  31,  1994.  Included  in the July 31,  1995  balance is a
related  party  receivable of $87,000  relating to the sale of voice  processing
products and services to American Computer, of which

                                       11
<PAGE>
a former member of the Board of Directors is an executive officer,  and of which
a member of the Board of Directors was a director of American Computer.

Net fixed  assets as of July 31,  1995 were $3.1  million,  as  compared to $2.9
million as of October 31,  1994.  Goodwill  as of July 31, 1995 was  $164,000 as
compared to $217,000 at October 31, 1994.

On May 24, 1993, the Company  reached a settlement  concerning  patent  licenses
relating to voice mail technology with VMX, Inc. As part of that settlement, the
Company  issued  102,857  shares of Microlog stock which required the Company to
redeem  those  shares at $2.1875 per share.  During the  quarter  ended July 31,
1995, VMX, Inc.,  notified the Company that it had sold all of the shares in the
open market releasing the Company from its obligation to purchase those shares.

The Company was in default under its mortgage  loan on its  principal  corporate
headquarters  which was due on December  31, 1994.  The mortgage  note is due in
monthly  installments  and has an  interest  rate at the  bank's  prime  rate of
interest  plus one-half  percent.  The mortgage  loan is  collateralized  by the
headquarters  building  and  is  subject  to  a  covenant  requiring  a  minimum
consolidated tangible net worth. In addition, the bank has asserted (as a result
of a cross default provision with a prior line of credit with the bank) that the
mortgage loan is also collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory of the
Company  and  is  subject  to a  number  of  additional  restrictive  covenants,
including a requirement to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio,  prohibitions
on mergers or  acquisitions,  sale of stock (other than stock issued pursuant to
the  Company's  stock  option  plan)  and  payment  of  dividends,  and  certain
restrictions on additional borrowing.

The Company was in default  under its  mortgage  loan  covenants  at January 31,
1994,  April 30, 1994 and July 31, 1994 and  received  waivers  from its bank of
these  covenants  through July 31, 1994. In connection  with these waivers,  the
maturity  date of the  loan  was  accelerated  by  agreement  with  the  bank to
September 30, 1994. The bank subsequently  extended the due date of the mortgage
loan until  December 31, 1994, in return for which the Company paid an extension
fee of 1% of the mortgage note balance at September 30, 1994 and made additional
principal  payments of $100,000 on  September  30, 1994 and $50,000  payments on
each of October 15, 1994,  November 15, 1994 and December 15, 1994.  The Company
obtained an additional extension of the due date of the mortgage note until June
30,  1995.  This  extension  required  the Company to pay  additional  principal
payments of $37,500 per month from February 1995 through June 1995.
                               
The Company  believes,  based upon its recent financial  results and discussions
with its  bank,  that it will be able to obtain an  additional  extension  until
October 31, 1995 from the bank.  This extension will require the Company to make
monthly $20,000 principal payments,  plus interest,  starting in August (in lieu
of the prior monthly principal payments).  The bank has indicated, in connection
with this  last  extension,  that the bank  presently  does not  intend to grant
further  significant  extensions.   The  Company  has  been  pursuing  financing
alternatives  and has  received  several  financing  offers that would allow the
Company to refinance  its mortgage and provide a working  capital line of credit
secured by accounts  receivable,  inventory,  furniture and equipment.  Although
each of such  offers has certain  terms that the  Company  would like to improve
upon and is subject to various  conditions,  the Company  believes that at least
one of these offers would be  acceptable  to the Company,  and intends to accept
one of such  offers  in  sufficient  time to meet its  obligation  to repay  the
mortgage on October 31, 1995.
