      In September 1996, the Company acquired Digital Products, Inc. ("DPI")
through a merger with a newly-formed subsidiary DPI Acquisition Corp. for the
Company's common stock valued at $5 million less agreed upon merger expenses of
DPI and DPI stock option repurchases. In addition, a new $3 million line of
credit with a lender will provide funds to repay approximately $1.3 million owed
to a lender and provide additional working capital. DPI produces and markets to
printer original equipment manufacturers, a broad line of print server products
that provide board level and chip level integrated solutions for local area
networks and remote access. The acquisition is accounted for as a pooling of
interests effective as of June 30, 1996.

(2)   Cray Communications, Inc.:

      In September 1996, the Company acquired 100% of CEH Holdings, Inc. and its
wholly owned subsidiaries including Cray Communications, Inc. (collectively
"Cray"), the U.S. division of UK-based Cray Electronics Holdings, PLC, for a
total of approximately $14 million. Under the acquisition agreement, the total
purchase consists of approximately $11 million in cash and $3 million in the
Company's preferred stock. The cash payment was used to purchase the stock


                                                                               6

the U.S. division and for repayment of debt to the parent company. The funds for
the acquisition will include cash on hand, the proceeds of a new $5 million
credit facility and a loan from Builders Warehouse Association, Inc. for $8.2
million. Cray designs, manufactures, markets, and supports an extensive range of
communications products and systems for local area networks, and wide area
networks. Cray provides end-users with intelligent products to support data,
voice, and video transmission over a wide variety of carrier services as well as
being an industry leader in frame relay encryption.

      (3)  Rockwell Network Systems:

      On January 31, 1996, Meret, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary,
acquired all the assets and assumed certain specified liabilities of Rockwell
Network Systems ("RNS") from Rockwell International Corporation ("Seller") for
approximately $11 million in cash and notes.  In addition, approximately
$593,000 in finders fees and fees for providing collateral for the notes issued,
was paid with a combination of cash and stock. RNS provides high-speed LAN
solutions and connections to the extended workgroups and servers in high growth
networking (FDDI, Fast Ethernet) markets.  In addition, RNS is a leading
supplier of remote access router-based technologies for connections to network
backbones via public switch facilities (ISDN and analog modems).  RNS operates
as a division of Meret.

(NOTE B) - Significant Accounting Policies

      (1)   Principles of Consolidation:

      The balance sheet reflects the accounts of Osicom, its wholly-owned
subsidiaries Meret Communications, Inc. ("Meret"), including its RNS division,
DPI and Cray. The consolidated unaudited statements of operations for the three
months and six months ended July 31, 1996 include the results of operations of
Osicom, Meret, including its RNS division, DPI, and Cray for the one month
subsequent to the effective acquisition date, June 30, 1996. The consolidated
unaudited statements of operations for the three months and six months ended
July 31, 1995 have been restated to account for the acquisition of DPI,
accounted for as a pooling of interests, and does not include results of
operations of Meret's RNS division which was acquired subsequent to July 31,
1995.

      (2)   Amortization of Intangibles:

      Software assets acquired are amortized over 10 years on a straight-line
basis. Software development costs where technological feasibility has not been
established are expensed in the period in which they occurred, otherwise,
development costs that will become an integral part of the Company's products
are deferred in accordance with FASB 2. The deferred cost is amortized on a
straight-line basis over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.

      (3)   Depreciation and Amortization:

      Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (generally 3 to 5 years).
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful
lives or the term of the lease. Depreciation of land and building is computed
using the straight-line method over 39 years.


                                                                               7

      Inventories, comprised of raw materials, work in process, finished goods
and spare parts, are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or
market. Spares parts are amortized over three years at the time of acqusition.
Accumulated amortization of spare parts was $17,764 at July 31, 1996.

(NOTE H) - Note Payable - Affiliate

      As of July 31, 1996, a net amount of $676,963 was due to an entity owned 
by two directors of the Company. The amount is due on demand and does not 
accrue interest.

(NOTE I) - Income Taxes

      At July 31, 1996 the Company has accumulated federal net operating losses
which may be potentially available to reduce future taxable income. However,
among potential adjustments which may reduce available loss carryforwards, the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (IRC), reduces the extent to which
net operating loss carryforwards may be utilized in the event there has been an
"ownership change" of a company as defined by applicable IRC provisions. The
Company believes that the issuances of its equity securities and transfers of
ownership of outstanding equity securities may have resulted in one or more such
ownership changes and intends to analyze the impact of such transfers on the
continued availability, for tax purposes, of the Company's net operating losses
incurred through fiscal 1997. Further ownership changes in the future, as
defined by the IRC may reduce the extent to which any net operating losses may
be utilized. The income tax provision for the periods presented as follows:

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

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated unaudited
financial statements contained herein and related notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 AND 1995

         See Note A to the consolidated unaudited financial statements contained
herein.

         Consolidated net sales increased by 61 % to $10,757,000 from $6,686,000
due to the acquisitions of RNS, Cray, Dynair and Digital Products, Inc. (DPI).

         Consolidated gross profit increased by 54 % to $4,734,000 from
$3,079,000, due to the increase in net sales, related to the acquisitions. Gross
margins decreased to 44 % from 46 % due to the slightly lower gross margins
achieved by DPI.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $12,838,000
from $2,647,000. Included in the S G & A expense for the period was a one-time
charge of $7,637,000 related to acquisition costs and the write-off of
in-process R & D costs associated with the acquisitions of Cray and DPI.
Excluding the one-time charge, S G & A expenses for the period were $5,201,000
or 48 % of sales compared to 40 % of sales achieved last year, due to an
increase in selling expense from 22 % of sales to 26 % of sales, related to the
higher costs associated with the OEM sales force. Certain large OEM orders
shifted out of the quarter having the effect of increasing the sales expense as
a percent of revenues. Amortization of negative goodwill was $87,000 or 1 % of
sales compared to $238,000 or 4 % of sales. This was the final amortization
period of negative goodwill related to the acquisition of Meret.

         Amortization of purchased technology was $152,900 or 1% of sales due to
the acquisitions of RNS and Cray. Due to the offsetting of non-current assets
against negative goodwill in the broadband acquisitions, as required by
generally accepted accounting principles, productive fixed assets which cost
$6.1 million and with a net book value of approximately $1.9 million at
acquisition, have not been recorded. Accordingly, there is no depreciation
charge to operations for these assets which are used in the broadband
operations.

         Net interest expense incurred increased to $179,000 from $127,000
primarily due to the higher interest rates related to the DPI credit facility.

         After taking into effect all of the above, the consolidated net loss
from operations was $8,311,000 compared to income of $305,000.


                                                                           17

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1996 AND 1995

         See Note A to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

         Consolidated net sales increased by 76 % to $22,029,000 from
$12,500,000 due to the acquisitions of RNS, Cray and Dynair.

         Consolidated gross profit increased by 76 % to $9,677,000 from
$5,500,000, due to the increase in net sales, related to the acquisitions. Gross
margins were 44 % of sales for both periods.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $17,086,000
from $5,481,000. Excluding the one-time charge of $7,754,000 related to certain
costs and a non-recurring write-off of in-process R & D arising from the
acquisitions, S G & A was $9,332,000, as a percentage of sales, S G & A
decreased from 44 % to 42 %. This decrease was related to a decrease in
engineering expense as a percentage of sales from 14% to 12%. Amortization of
negative goodwill was $325,000 compared to $476,000.

         Amortization of purchased technology was $270,000 or 1% of sales due to
the acquisitions of RNS and Cray. Due to the offsetting of non-current assets
against negative goodwill in the Meret and Catel acquisitions, as required by
generally accepted accounting principles, productive fixed assets which cost
$6.1 million and with a net book value of approximately $1.9 million at
acquisition, have not been recorded. Accordingly, there is no depreciation
charge to operations for these assets which are used in the operations of Meret
and Catel.

         Net interest expense incurred increased to $423,000 from $241,000 due
to the borrowings against the working capital line to fund the increased level
of business and the acquisition of RNS, which was financed in part by $3.5
million of bank debt.

         After giving effect to all of the above, consolidated net loss from
operations was $7,408,000 compared to net income of $18,000.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company had a cash balance of $5,075,000 and working capital of
$1,579,000 at the period ended July 31, 1996, which management believes is
adequate to meet its planned level of growth.

         Operations of the Company consumed cash of approximately $617,000 as
compared to $388,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1995. Cash flows from
financing activities for the six months ended July 31, 1996 were $8,001,000
compared to $1,417,000 for the same period last year. During the six months
ended July 31, 1996, the Company paid $50,000 against the Banca di Roma bank
loan, and paid down a net amount of $2,321,000 against the credit lines. In
addition, the Company received $7,247,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of
convertible debentures and $7,525,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of
convertible preferred stock.

         During the six months ended July 31, 1996, the Company fully redeemed
the series B preferred stock in the amount of $6,269,487. Capital expenditures
were $2,089,000 and $304,000 for the six months ended July 31, 1996, and 1995,
respectively. In March of 1996, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Meret,
purchased land and building in San Diego, 
<PAGE>   19
California for $1,779,000 which is Meret's corporate headquarters and
manufacturing facility.

         Management believes that the Company has sufficient working capital to
meet the needs of the current level of operations. Management is implementing
plans which it believes will enable the Company to increase its working capital
for internal growth and acquisitions. There can be no assurance that these
mechanisms to improve liquidity will be effective.
