The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, and the 
consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended 
June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the 
three month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, have been prepared by the 
Company, without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which 
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 1995, and 
for all periods presented, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB 
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1995.  The results of operations for the 
three month period ended June 30, 1995, are not necessarily indicative of the 
results for the full fiscal year.

NOTE C.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

During the three month period ended June 30, 1995, shareholders' equity 
increased as a result of a net profit of $373, and employee and director 
exercise of stock options at prices between $.75 per share and $3.25 per 
share for a total of $74.


NOTE D.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On August 3, 1995, one of the Company's customers, Amtel Communications, Inc. 
("Amtel"), filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  
The Company is owed approximately $3,200 by Amtel relative to sales made by 
the Company to Amtel.  The Company has a security interest in payphones sold 
to Amtel and a collateral assignment of agreements between Amtel and the 
owners of certain sites where those payphones have been installed.  While the 
Company's evaluation of the effect of this bankruptcy filing is in its early 
stages, the Company believes that the value of its collateral is sufficient 
to cover the outstanding principal amount of the obligations, but that the 
payment will be delayed.  The Company believes that the delay of payment will 
not have any negative effect on the Company's liquidity or operations.

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

Results of Operations
---------------------
(Dollars in thousands)

Quarter ended June 30, 1995, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1994:

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 ("first quarter 1996"), increased 
to $5,820 from $5,223 for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 ("first quarter 
1995"), an increase of $597, or approximately 11%, principally as a result of 
an increase in sales of electronic assemblies of approximately 14% offset by 
a decrease in sales of complete payphones of approximately 18%  Unit sales of 
electronic assemblies increased by approximately 36% while unit sales of 
complete payphones decreased by approximately 21%.  Average selling prices of 
payphones in the quarter were approximately 4% higher than in the same quarter 
last year, while average selling prices of electronic assemblies were 16% lower 
than last year due to credits given to customers for trade-in of older 
electronic assemblies in connection with the purchase of electronic assemblies 
that satisfy the requirements of the North American Numbering Plan.  This 
trade-in program was extended through the end of the current fiscal year, due 
to large customer response, but the Company believes that the level of trade-ins
will decrease during the fiscal year.  In addition the Company sold a 
substantial number of upgrade modules which allow customers who have older 
versions of the Company's products  to comply with the North American Numbering 
Plan.  Sales of these upgrade modules are expected to continue throughout the 
current fiscal year at decreasing levels toward the latter part of the fiscal 
year.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales were substantially the same as in 
the previous year.  

Research and development costs increased by $157, or approximately 43%, from 
$364 in the first quarter 1995 to $521 in the first quarter 1996 due to the 
hiring of additional development staff and increased use of outside contractors.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $380, or approximately
33%, from $1,167 in the first quarter 1995 to $1,547 in the first quarter 1996 
principally as a result of increased sales commissions related to the Company's 
higher sales level compared to the prior year, an increase in the number of
employees supporting international sales efforts and a one-time expense in 
connection with the Company's listing on the NASDAQ National Market System.   
Interest income increased by $96, or approximately 108%, from $89 in first 
quarter 1995 to $185 in first quarter 1996 due to an increase in the Company's 
note receivable portfolio.   Interest expense increased by $10, or approximately
33%, from $30 in first quarter 1995 to $40 in first quarter 1996 due to 
increased borrowings against the Company's line of credit facility with its 
bank. 

The current year tax provision of $202, which represents an effective tax rate 
of approximately 35%, is compared against the prior year's tax provision of 
$189, which was at an effective tax rate of 24% due to the Company having not 
utilized all of its net operating losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
(Dollars in thousands) 

The Company recorded an increase in current assets of $654, or approximately 7%,
from $9,927 at March 31, 1995 to $10,581 at June 30, 1995, predominantly from 
an increase in accounts receivable of $1,047, due to a significant amount of 
shipments in the latter part of the quarter, partially offset by a decrease of 
$364 in cash and temporary investments, due to the Company's repayments on its 
line of credit.  Current liabilities decreased by $190, or approximately 4%,
from $4,352 at March 31, 1995 to $4,162 at June 30, 1995 predominantly from 
the repayment of $327 to the Company's bank of amounts borrowed against its 
line of credit.  

Since August 31, 1994 the Company has had a $2,000 working capital line of 
credit secured by the Company's accounts receivable, notes receivable and 
inventories.  Interest on amounts borrowed on the line of credit is at prime 
plus one-half percent.  The Company borrows against and repays the line of 
credit throughout the year depending upon its working capital needs and cash 
generated from operations, with the outstanding amount under the line of credit 
during fiscal 1996 ranging from $1,098 to $1,425.  The Company believes its 
lender will renew the line of credit when it matures on August 31, 1995. 

The Company believes that its anticipated cash flow from operations will be 
sufficient to fund its working capital needs, its capital expenditures and 
its short and long term note obligations through June 30, 1996.

Item 5.     Other Information
            -----------------

            On August 3, 1995, one of the Company's customers, Amtel 
            Communications, Inc. and certain related entities ("Amtel"), 
            filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy 
            Code.  The Company is owed approximately $3,200 by Amtel arising 
            out of the sale of approximately 3,500 payphones by the Company 
            to Amtel.  The Company has not delivered any phones to Amtel since
            February 1995.  Payment of those obligations is secured by a 
            security interest in payphones sold to Amtel and a collateral 
            assignment of agreements between Amtel and the owners of certain 
            sites where those payphones have been installed.  While the 
            Company's evaluation of the effect of this bankruptcy filing is in 
            its early stages, the Company believes that the value of its 
            collateral is sufficient to cover the outstanding principal amount 
            of the obligations, but that the payment will be delayed.  The 
            Company believes that the delay of payment will not have any 
            negative effect on the Company's liquidity or operations.  The 
            Company believes that immediate relief from the automatic stay with 
            respect to this collateral is important in protecting its value and 
            will be requesting such relief.
