A.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnote disclosures that will normally be made in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K. The financial statements do, however, reflect all
adjustments (solely of a normal recurring nature) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods
presented.

    Results for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of results which may be reported for any other interim period or for
the year as a whole.

basis) or market.

C.  Earnings Per Share

    Earnings per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number
of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods which
include any dilutive stock options.


ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

NET SALES   Sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 1996, ended December 31, 1995,
- ---------
decreased $67,000 or 4.5% compared with the same period of Fiscal 1995. The
reduction in sales was the result of the sale of the TEMPEST business segment in
March, 1995, offset by the increase in sales of ADR products. In the first
quarter of Fiscal 1995, the Companys revenue from TEMPEST products totaled
$821,000. Revenue of ADR products increased $753,000, or 70.3% in the first
quarter of Fiscal 1996 compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 1995.

The backlog of orders was $1,488,000 at December 31, 1995 compared with a
backlog of $2,590,000 at December 31, 1994.  The reduction in the backlog is
consistent with the sale of the  TEMPEST business segment.

COST OF GOODS SOLD   Cost of goods sold as percentage of sales for the quarter
- ------------------
ended December 31, 1995, was 40.5% compared to 54.5% a year earlier. The
decrease, as a percent to sales, reflects the sale of the TEMPEST business
segment, which carried an unusually high cost of sales. In addition, the sale of
the business segment resulted in the reduction of the Companys required
overhead, primarily in the areas of facilities and personnel.

COSTS AND EXPENSES (Excluding Interest)  Operating expenses increased $100,600
- ---------------------------------------
or 12.2% in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 as compared to the same period one
year earlier. The increase was primarily the result of a bad debt recovery of
$60,000 in Fiscal 1995 versus an increase of $42,000 in the bad debt reserve in
Fiscal 1996. These transactions were (credited) / charged to General and
administrative expenses. Operating costs related to research and development and
sales and marketing in Fiscal 1996 were essentially equal to the prior year. The
company anticipates the overall spending levels to increase in the ensuing
quarterly periods due to the costs of developing, introducing and marketing new
products.

INTEREST  Interest costs increased $29,600, or 158.9%, for the quarter ended
- --------
December 31, 1995, compared with the same quarter a year earlier, due to
increased net borrowings, along with the increase in cost of funds due to the
factoring agreement.

increases, increased borrowings and cost of borrowing, the Company had net
income of $88,700 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, compared to the prior
year net income of $13,600.



                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



    At December 31, 1995, stockholders' equity was $1,431,600, an increase of
$88,800 from September 30, 1995. The Company's working capital and current ratio
was $744,800 and 1.47 at December 31, 1995, compared to $601,800 and 1.41 at
September 30, 1995, respectively.  At December 31, 1995, total liabilities to
equity ratio was 1.11 to 1 compared to 1.13 to 1 at September 30, 1995. As of
December 31, 1995,  the Company's total liabilities were $62,800 more than
September 30, 1995.

    Components of working capital with significant changes during the quarter
ended December 31, 1995 were accounts receivable; accounts payable; amounts
payable under factoring agreement; and other accrued liabilities. Compared to
September 30, 1995, these components of working capital changed as follows:

Accounts receivable - increased $390,700 due to the timing of shipments (late
in the Fiscal quarter).

Accounts payable - decreased $215,500 due the reduction of royalties payable,
and increased borrowings.

Other accrued liabilities - increased due to the increases in unearned revenue,
warranty reserves, and Federal income taxes payable.

     The Company has a $650,000 credit facility with a financial institution
which expires in March, 1996. The Company anticipates that a new credit facility
will be obtained prior to the expiration of its current facility.

     The Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow from operations and
available borrowings under bank lines of credit to meet its operational needs in
the coming year.
