                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



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 nine months ended June 30, 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.
 
B.   Inventories

     Inventories are summarized as follows:

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

Comparison of Nine Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

     Net Sales.     Net sales for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996 were
$5,866,000, comprised solely of ADR sales, compared to $4,891,000, comprised of
TEMPEST and ADR sales, for the same period in 1995, an increase of $975,000 or
19.9%.  Net sales, comprised solely of ADR sales, for the nine month period
ended June 30, 1996, were $5,866,000 compared to $3,393,000 for the prior year
period, an increase of $2,473,000, or 72.9%.
 
     Gross Margin.    Gross margin for the nine month period ended June 30, 
1996 was $3,659,000 compared to $2,470,000 for the same period in 1995, an
increase of $1,189,000, or 48.1%. The increase was primarily due to a change in
the product mix. As a percentage of sales, gross margin increased from 50.5% of
sales in the nine month period ended June 30, 1995 to 62.4% of sales in the same
period in 1996. This increase is attributable to the Company's net sales being
derived exclusively from its ADR products, which carry a substantially higher
gross margin than the Company's TEMPEST business.

     Research and Development.   Research and development expenses for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996 were $922,000 compared to $806,000 for the same
period in 1995, an increase of $116,000 or 14.4%. This increase is primarily due
to the addition of staff to support faxshare development which did not exist in
the same period for the prior year. As a percentage of net sales, research and
development expenses decreased to 15.7% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996
compared to 16.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The decrease was
primarily due to the increased net sales, as the actual dollar amount spent on
research and development increased insignificantly but such increase was offset
by an increase in net sales.

     Selling and marketing.   Selling and marketing expenses for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 were $933,000 compared to $1,052,000 for the same period in
1995, a decrease of $119,000, or 11.3%. As a percentage of net sales, selling
and marketing expenses decreased to 15.9% for the first nine months ended June
30, 1996 compared to 21.5% for the first nine months ended June 30, 1995. The
decrease was primarily due to reduced advertising, promotion, and outside
consulting costs.

     General and Administrative.   General and administrative expenses for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996 were $886,000 compared to $842,000 for the same
period in 1995, an increase of $44,000, or 5.2%. As a percentage of net sales,
general and administrative expenses decreased to 15.1% for the first nine months
of fiscal 1996 compared to 17.2% for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The
decrease was primarily due to reduced consulting costs.

     Interest Expense.   Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 
1996 was $89,000 compared to $49,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of
$40,000, or 81.6%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in borrowing
costs and to a lesser extent, an increase in average debt outstanding.

     Provision for Income Taxes.   The provision for income taxes consists 
primarily of federal alternative minimum tax and state tax. The tax rate is
substantially below the federal statutory rate due to the utilization of net
operating loss carryovers for which no benefit has previously been taken.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1996, stockholders' equity was $2,153,000, an increase of 
$810,000 from September 30, 1995. The Company's working capital and current
ratio was $1,615,000 and 2.70 to 1 at June 30, 1996 compared to $602,000 and
1.41 to 1 at September 30, 1995, respectively.
<PAGE>
 
     At June 30, 1996, the total liabilities to equity ratio was 0.45 to 1 
compared to 1.13 to 1 at September 30, 1995. As of June 30, 1996, the Company's
total liabilities were $561,000 less than September 30, 1995.

     Components of working capital with significant changes during the nine 
months ended June 30, 1996 were: Accounts Receivable, Notes Receivable,
Inventory, Accounts Payable and Factoring Payable. Compared to September 30,
1995, the components changed as follows:

     Accounts Receivable - Increased $442,000 primarily  because of increase in
     sales, and longer payment cycle extended on a substantial order.

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

     Inventory - Increased $81,000 due to the procurement of materials to
     support shipments backlog.

     Accounts Payable and Factoring Payable - Decreased by $549,000 because of
     payments made in the third quarter with cash generated from operations.

     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 June 30, 1996, there was no outstanding balance on the 
line of credit.

     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.
