Board of Directors
Osicom Technologies, Inc.


         We audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rockwell Network Systems
Division (RNSD), a division of Rockwell International Corporation (RIC) as of
January 31, 1996 and the related statements of operations and RIC Investment
and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 1995 and 1996.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of RNSD's management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, RNSD's financial position as of January 31,
1996 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended
January 31, 1995 and 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                       ROCKWELL NETWORK SYSTEMS DIVISION
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           JANUARY 31, 1995 AND 1996



NOTE 1.  ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation - The financial statements include the assets and
liabilities of Rockwell Network Systems Division (RNSD), a division of Rockwell
International Corporation (RIC).  The financial statements do not include any
assets or liabilities of other RIC divisions.
Business Description - RNSD manufactures and markets local area network and
remote access products.  RNSD sells primarily to computer manufacturers,
network product distributors and internet service providers.
Inventories - Inventories are valued by the lower of cost or market,
first-in-first-out method.
Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost.
Depreciation is recorded by the straight-line method over the related assets
estimated useful lives.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of
the related lease.  Fully depreciated assets still in use at January 31, 1996
were $ 3,225,000.
Accounts Receivable - RNSD provides an allowance for doubtful accounts to reduce
receivables to net realizable value.  RNSD's largest two January 31, 1996
receivables were $1,397,000 and $668,000.  RNSD does not require collateral for
its receivables.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are
shipped.
Advertising Costs - Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which they
are incurred.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reported periods.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - RNSD's accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued expenses carrying value approximates fair value because of
the short-term maturity of those instruments.
Income Taxes - RNSD recorded no benefit for income taxes, RIC recording any
such benefit. Had RNSD been a separate entity, it would have had net operating
loss carryforwards which have no assurance of realization and would have
recorded a valuation allowance equal to their potential benefit.

NOTE 2.  SALE OF RNSD

On January 31, 1996, RIC sold certain assets, subject to the assumption of
certain liabilities, commonly known as RNSD to Meret Optical Communications,
Inc. (Meret), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Osicom Technologies, Inc. (Osicom),
for $11,000,000.  Concurrent with the sale, Osicom gave certain RNSD employees
options to purchase Osicom stock, and Osicom stock grants, contingent upon
their continued employment by Meret.

                           JANUARY 31, 1995 AND 1996





NOTE 3.  BANK LOAN

Simultaneously, with RNSD's sale, Note 2, Meret gave a bank a security interest
in RNSD's accounts receivable, inventories and property, plant and equipment
and borrowed $3,500,000.

NOTE 4.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW DISCLOSURES

Interest income and expense approximated cash received and paid for interest
for the years and were not material.  Taxes paid were not material.  RNSD
maintained no bank accounts using RIC's cash management system; therefore, RNSD
will have no change in cash balances for a year.
