                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

1.  Basis of Preparation:

    The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been
    prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
    include all of the information and note disclosures required by generally
    accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
    Company's Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 1995. In the opinion of
    management, such financial statements include all adjustments (consisting
    only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
    Company's consolidated financial position and consolidated results of
    operations and cash flows. The consolidated results of operations for the
    three-month period ended July 31, 1995 may not be indicative of the results
    that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 1996.

    Inventories:

    Inventories consist of purchased components valued at the lower of
    first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost or market.

2.  Notes Payable:

    During the period between June and August 1994, the Company issued $600,000
    in 8% convertible notes due May 25, 1996. The holders of the notes are
    entitled to convert the principal and accrued interest into shares of the
    Company's common stock at any time, but no later than April 30, 1996.

    The conversion price shall be 75% of the lowest consecutive five-day
    average of the stock's daily market price during the term of the notes.

    In October 1994, the Company issued a $50,000 convertible note at 8%, due
    October 15, 1995. The holder of the note is entitled to convert the
    principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company's common stock at
    any time, but no later than September 30, 1995. The conversion price shall
    be the lesser of $1.20 or the lowest consecutive five-day average of the
    stock's daily market price during the term of the note.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


2.  Notes Payable (Continued):

    On April 15, 1995, the Company entered into an arrangement with a principle
    stockholder to borrow $700,000, of which $500,000 was provided on April 15,
    1995. The remaining $200,000 was remitted in May and June of 1995. The
    Company issued a convertible, three year, 10% secured promissory note. The
    noteholder is allowed to convert the principle and accrued interest into
    shares of the Company's common stock at any time during the term of the
    note, at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share. The note is secured by
    certain modules of the Company's software product.


3.  Earning Per Share:

    Primary earning per share is computed on the weighted average number of
    common stock outstanding for the quarter. Outstanding stock options and
    warrants are common stock equivalents, but are excluded from the July 31,
    1995 earnings per common share computation due to their anti-dilutive
    effect, and from the July 31, 1994 computation, due to immateriality. The
    weighted average number of common shares used in primary earnings per
    common share computations for July 31, 1995 and 1994 were 62,080,175 and
    59,231,145, respectively.

    The disclosure of fully diluted earning per share is not required by APB
    Opinion No. 15 because it results in dilution of less than 3%. In
    accordance with Regulation S-K item 601(b)(11), the computation of fully
    diluted earning per share for July 31, 1994, if shown, would assume the
    conversion of the 8% convertible notes (see "Notes Payable"), and exercise
    of stock options and warrants using the treasury method. Also, net earning
    available for shareholders are increased by $1,933, which represents
    interest expenses, net of tax, on the convertible notes. The weighted
    average number of shares in the computation of fully diluted earning per
    share for quarter ended July 31, 1994 would be 62,148,103.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


1.  Liquidity and Capital Resources

    During the three months ended July 31, 1995, there was a 27% increase in
    the working capital deficit from $1,064,222 at April 30, 1995 to $1,353,796
    at July 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to the $422,802 net loss
    for the quarter ended July 31, 1995 (see "Results of Operations"). For the
    quarter ended July 31, 1995 cashflow provided by operating activities was
    approximately $104,000. During the similar period in 1994, AUDRE's use of
    cash from operating activities was approximately $574,000. Cash utilized
    for the acquisition of fixed assets and software development was $278,000
    for the period, compared to $296,000 for the quarter ended July 31, 1994.

    In fiscal 1994, the Company announced its intention to concentrate
    resources and efforts on the government sector. In fiscal 1995, the Company
    sold approximately $3.5 million in product and services to the United
    States Department of Defense ("DoD"). In January 1995, the Company upgraded
    its commercial sales efforts and allocated additional resources towards
    those endeavors.  Therefore, it is the opinion of management, that future
    sales, which they believe will be generated from the DoD and the commercial
    market, and continued maintenance and/or reduction of operating expenses,
    will provide the Company with the ability to realize profitability and
    continued operations in the long-term. While the Company believes it will
    obtain sales sufficient to achieve profitability, no assurance can be made
    that the Company will be successful in doing so or that it will occur prior
    to the Company requiring additional capital. In regards to the legal
    proceeding involving the Company, specifically Casey vs.  Casey, which was
    previously disclosed, the Company's ability to appeal the judgment requires
    the posting of a bond in the amount of the judgment. If the Company is
    unsuccessful in requesting, from the California Court of Appeal, a
    significant reduction or elimination of the bond, it is likely to be unable
    to finance a bond, and may have to seek shelter under the federal
    bankruptcy code, which would stay the judgment and allow the Company to
    appeal the decision.

2.  Results of Operations

    Three Months ended July 31, 1995 and 1994 (Unaudited)

    Revenue for the quarter ended July 31, 1995 was $1,134,431 compared to
    $1,741,623 for the prior year period. The majority of the revenues in both
    years was generated from sales to the United States Department of Defense
    (DoD). Although quarterly revenue decreased compared to the prior year, due
    to the procurement procedures of the DoD, AUDRE's products have been
    historically purchased in bulk quantities at various intervals, therefore
    since management believes additional sales to the DoD are forthcoming, it
    is the Company's opinion that the decrease in sales does not appear to be
    an unusual trend.

    There were no cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 1995, as all
    of the sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 were for AUDRE's Automatic
    Choice software product, which has minimal cost of sales.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 17% compared to the
    quarter ended July 31, 1994. The increase was primarily due to increased
    legal expenses. Product development costs for the quarter ended July 31,
    1995, decreased 17% compared to the quarter ended July 31, 1994. The
    decrease was achieved from reducing general departmental expenses.
