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 are otherwise required by Regulation
S-X and 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 three and six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of results which may be reported for any other interim
period or for the year as a whole.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


   SALES   Sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 ended March 31, 1996,
   -----
increased $488,000 compared with the same period of fiscal 1995.  Sales for the
six months ended March 31, 1996 increased $421,000 or 12.65% compared with the
first six months of fiscal 1995.  The backlog of new orders increased to
$2,284,000 compared to $1,979,000 at March 31, 1995.

   COST OF GOODS SOLD   Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for the
   ------------------
three and six months ended March 31, 1996 were 38.3% and 39.4%, respectively. In
the prior year, cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for the three and
six months ended March 31, 1995 were 48% and 51.7%, respectively. The prior
year's sales consisted of a mix of ADR and TEMPEST products. The current
year's sales consisted primarily of ADR products which produces a higher
yield in gross margins, therefore causing a reduction in cost of goods sold.

   OPERATING EXPENSES (Excluding Interest)   Operating expenses increased 
   --------------------------------------
$38,000 or 2.2% for six months ended March 31, 1996, while operating expenses
decreased by $62,500 or 68.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared
to the same quarter in the prior year. The minimal changes reflects the
Company's continued efforts to control and minimize cost.

   INTEREST   Interest expense increased $13,000, or 62.1% and $42,000 or 108% 
   --------
for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996, compared with the same
periods a year earlier. The increase reflects borrowings charged with an
interest rate of 3% per month.

   INCOME TAXES   The charge for income taxes is approximately 13% of income
   ------------
before taxes.

   OTHER INCOME   Other income in the prior year consisted of the gain on the
   ------------
sale of the TEMPEST business, and was made up of the following components: Sale
price ($350,000) offset by the carrying cost of inventory sold ($132,000) and
costs related to the transaction ($13,000).

   NET INCOME   The Company netted income of $255,000 and $344,000 for the three
   ----------
and six months ended March 31, 1996, respectively, compared with the net income
of $6,000 and $20,000 for the same periods a year earlier.  The income increases
reflects the results of gross margins achieved with primarily ADR software
products sold as compared to low margin yields in  TEMPEST products sold in the
prior years.

   At March 31, 1996, stockholders' equity was $1,690,00, an increase of
$347,000 from September 30, 1995. The Company's working capital and current
ratio was $1,093,000 and 1.76 to 1 at March 31, 1996 compared to $602,000 and
1.41 to 1 at Sep tember 30, 1995, respectively.

At March 31, 1996, the total liabilities to equity ratio was 0.86 to 1
compared to 1.13 to 1 at September 30, 1995. As of March 31, 1996, the Company's
total liabilities were $76,000 less than September 30, 1995.

Components of working capital with significant changes during the six months
ended March 31, 1996 were: Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable, Inventory, and
Other Accrued Liabilities.  Compared to September 30, 1995, the components
changed as follows:

   Accounts Receivable - Increased $276,000 due to the increase in sales.

   Notes Receivable - Decreased $158,000 due to expiration and collection of the
   note.

   Inventory - Increased $148,000 due to the procurement of materials to support
   shipments backlog.
<PAGE>
 
   Other Accrued Liabilities - Increased $357,000 primarily because of unearned
   income on shipments billed for evaluation of products. Effective with the
   third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company will be shipping these evaluation
   sales at no charge.

In August, 1995 the Company obtained a six month interim credit facility of
$650,000 with a financial institution while seeking conventional credit
facilities.  In March, 1996 the Company achieved a line of credit financing with
a bank in the amount of $400,000, with interest rate charges of 2.5% over prime
lending rates.  As of March 31, 1996, $34,000 of the line of credit was in use.

The Company believes it will have sufficient cash flow generated from operations
and existing credit facilities to meet its operational needs in the coming year.
