Item 2.           Acquisition or Disposition of Assets



On September 4, 1996, Osicom Technologies, Inc. ("Osicom") agreed to acquire
100% of Digital Products, Inc. ("DPI") through a merger with a newly-formed
subsidiary, DPI Acquisition Corp. for common stock and options to acquire common
stock of Osicom valued at $5 million less agreed upon merger expenses of DPI and
DPI option repurchases. The acquisition, which will be effective as of June 30,
1996, closed on September 12, 1996 and will be accounted for as a pooling. The
purchase price was determined by negotiations between the buyer and seller.

In addition, a new $3 million line of credit with a lender will provide funds to
repay approximately $1,344,000 owed by DPI to one of its lenders and to provide
additional working capital.

DPI, a privately-held company established in 1984, produces and markets to
printer original equipment manufactures a broad line of print server products
that provide board level and chip level integrated solutions for local area
networks and remote access. DPI's products are compatible with a variety of
networks included Novell NewWare, Banyan, Vines, DEC LAT, Apple, UNIX, Microsoft
Windows NT and Microsoft Windows for Workgroups.

DPI employs 90 at its Waltham, Massachusetts facility. The current employee base
will be retained, with the management team receiving both retention and
performance-based incentive options.

All assets acquired in this transaction will continue to be used in the conduct
of the normal business activities of DPI and Osicom. No significant business
relationship existed between DPI and Osicom or their officers or directors.



Item 5.           Other Events


On November 13, 1996, Osicom completed the acquisition of Distributed Systems
International, Inc. ("DSI"). The acquisition of DSI was not a reportable event
under Item 310 of Regulation S-B.

Through this acquisition Osicom obtained DSI's FDDI Workgroup Hub Technology
which promises to yield a tenfold increase in speed as compared to today's
existing networks. Osicom acquired DSI to start design of Workgroup Ethernet
switches with a variety of uplink connections including Gigabit Ethernet
backbone connections, a new emerging standard. Gigabit Ethernet is expected to
be deployed in backbone environments as the preferred interconnection between
switches which aggregate multiple lower speed Ethernet segments. Osicom is a
member of the Gigabit Ethernet Alliance, the industry organization with the
objective to create formal standardization of Gigabit Ethernet. Osicom plans on
participating as the standard and the customers evolve to a point of
interoperability and economic sense.





                                                                               2

On November 8, 1996 Osicom was presented with a signed engagement agreement for
the performance of audit and related services for its year ending January 31,
1997, by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP (KPMG), an international accounting firm and on
November 18, 1996, management executed the agreement. The engagement letter
conformed with audit standards as published by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants.

In order to ensure an orderly transition of auditors and timely performance of
the audit for the year ending January 31, 1997, the engagement partner and
senior manager from KPMG met with the former auditor, Weinbaum & Yalamanchi, and
were given full access to confidential internal information and documents of the
Registrant. The personnel of KPMG were authorized to review the prior year
workpapers of Weinbaum & Yalamanchi and, in fact, did so at this time. 

As required by Item 304(a) of Regulation S-B, as promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission, a Form 8-K, reporting the engagement of a new principal
auditor, was filed on November 19, 1996. Such filing is required to be made
within 5 days of the engagement. As further required under Item 304, KPMG
personnel were given the opportunity to review the filing and to provide a
letter to the issuer, addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission, that
contains any disagreement with the disclosures required in Form 8-K; such letter
to be filed as an exhibit to the filing. The engagement partner at KPMG did not
request a review nor indicate any disagreement with the filing.

Subsequently, the management of Osicom received a letter from the engagement
partner at KPMG informing Osicom that KPMG was not engaged to perform the audit
for the year ending January 31, 1997, indicating that the engagement letter had
been issued prematurely. Osicom has no knowledge as to the justification for
this contention.

Accordingly, the Form 8-K filed on November 19, 1996 is hereby amended and
Weinbaum & Yalamanchi remain the auditors for Osicom.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors
Digital Products, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Digital Products, Inc. as of
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company'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 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 that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Digital Products, Inc. as of
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      (a) Nature of Business

      Digital Products, Inc. (the "Company") manufactures and sells low cost and
         easy solutions for connecting peripherals throughout an enterprise
         network. The Company's principle products are print directors, which
         enable multiple computers to be connected to one printer.

      (b) Inventories

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
         using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

      (c) Property and Equipment

      Property and equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated and amortized over
         its estimated useful life using the straight-line method. Estimated
         useful lives are as follows:

<TABLE>

<S>                                                       <C>
          Furniture and fixtures                          5-7 years
          Motor vehicles                                  3 years
          Computer equipment                              3-5 years
          Manufacturing, tooling and test equipment       5-7 years
          Leasehold improvements                          5 years
</TABLE>

      (d) Software Development Costs

      The Company charges all costs of establishing technological feasibility,
         planning and designing, including detailed program design, to research
         and development expense as incurred and, thereafter, capitalizes
         certain software and product costs in compliance with Statement of
         Financial Accounting Standards No. 86 ("SFAS 86"), "Accounting for the
         Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed."

      Software development costs of $86,502 and $433,313 were capitalized during
         the six months ended 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively. The total
         amount of software and product costs amortized was $122,914 and
         $495,392 in the six months ended 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.
         The capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis at the
         greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current
         revenues for the product bear to the total of current and anticipated
         future revenues for that product or (b) the straight-line method over
         the estimated economic life of the product.

      The recoverability of capitalized software and product costs is reviewed
         on an ongoing basis.

      (e) Amortization of Loan Costs

      Loan costs represent legal and other costs associated with loans and are
         amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan.

      (f) Income Taxes

      The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
         taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and
         liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable
         to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
         existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and
         operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and
         liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected

                                                                     (Continued)

                                                                             10

                          Notes to Financial Statements


         to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
         differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
         deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
         recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

      (g) Use of Estimates

      Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
         relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
         of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
         statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      (h) Financial Instruments

      Financial instruments of the Company consist of cash, accounts receivable,
         software development costs, accounts payable, notes payable, vendor
         notes and capital leases. The carrying amount of these financial
         instruments approximates their fair value.

      (i) Concentrations of Credit Risk

      Financial instruments which subject the Company to concentrations of
         credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company had
         three customers who together made up 64% of trade receivables as of
         June 30, 1996.

(2)   INVENTORIES

      Inventories consisted of the following:

          (a) Capital Leases 

          The Company is obligated under capital leases that expire through
              October 1, 1998 for telephone systems, automobiles and office
              equipment. At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the gross
              amount of property and equipment recorded under capital leases was
              $205,259 and $258,525, respectively. The Company leases its
              facilities under an operating lease expiring in 1996. The Company
              is presently renegotiating its facility lease for renewal.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


      (b) Litigation
      Certain claims, suits and complaints have been filed or are pending
         against the Company. In the opinion of management, these matters are
         without merit. However, should these claims be settled or adjudicated
         in favor of the plaintiffs, the outcome of this litigation is not
         expected to have a material effect on the financial position of the
         Company.

(8)   VENDOR NOTES

      During 1995, the Company reached agreements with several vendors to
         convert trade payables to unsecured notes with maturities of less than
         one year. The largest notes are with vendors that continue to supply
         the Company on an unsecured, open account basis. Total principal
         payments in 1996 and 1995 were $630,638 and $651,125, respectively.

(9)   INCOME TAXES

      Actual income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the
         year ended December 31, 1995, differs from the "expected" benefit
         computed by applying the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 34%
         to loss before income tax expense as follows:

      At June 30, 1996, operating loss carryforwards of $1,713,473 were
         available to offset future taxable income for federal income tax
         purposes. These carryforwards expire at various dates through 2010. If
         a more than 50% change of ownership occurs during a three-year period,
         the amount of net operating loss carryforwards which may be utilized
         each year will be subject to limitation.

      In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company
         considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all
         of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The recognition of
         deferred tax assets as of June 30, 1996 is supported by the fact that
         the Company has sufficient reversals of temporary differences to
         support the recognition of the deferred tax assets.

(10) CAPITAL STOCK

      In May 1993, the Company entered into a Preferred Stock Purchase
         Agreement (the "Agreement") to sell 141,727 shares of Series A
         Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") at $.10 per share
         par value for gross proceeds of $2,150,000.

                                                                     (Continued)

                                                                             15
<PAGE>   16
                             DIGITAL PRODUCTS, INC.

                          Notes to Financial Statements


       The Preferred Stock is senior to all classes of common stock of the
           Company as to the distribution of assets. No dividends will be
           declared or set aside for the Preferred Stock. However, the Preferred
           stockholders are entitled to dividends at a converted per share rate
           equivalent to common stock. The Preferred shareholders are entitled
           to the same number of votes per share as shall equal the number of
           full shares of common stock into which each such share of Preferred
           Stock is convertible.

       The Preferred Stock can be converted at any time into fully paid and
           nonassessable shares of Class A common stock. The conversion price
           shall be the product obtained by multiplying the conversion rate
           stipulated in the agreement by the number of shares of Preferred
           Stock being converted. Upon the occurrence of an underwritten public
           offering that nets total proceeds to the Company of at least
           $5,000,000, the Preferred Stock shares then outstanding shall
           automatically be converted to Class A common stock.

       The Class A common shareholders are entitled to one vote per share and 
           the Class B common shareholders are entitled to ten votes per share.
           In all other respects the common share classes have similar rights.

(11)    STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

        (a) Stock Option Plan

        Under the terms of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan, options
           are granted by the board of directors only to persons who are key
           employees of the Company and who do not own more than ten percent of
           the voting rights of the Company. The options are granted at a price
           at least equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date of
           grant. Options may be exercised at various dates as specified at the
           time of grant. If the employee's term of employment ends, any
           outstanding options not exercised are canceled.

        The Company has set aside up to 750,000 shares of Class A common stock
           for issuance under the Plan. At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
           there were outstanding options for 582,164 and 652,604 shares,
           respectively, at prices ranging from $.03 to $2.50. At June 30, 1996,
           320,793 shares were exercisable at prices ranging from $.03 to $2.50.

        In 1995, the Company granted 294,400 non-qualified stock options to
           employees at an exercise price of $.10. The Company recorded stock
           option compensation expense of $99,299 and $76,258 for the six months
           ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995,
           respectively, to reflect the difference between the exercise price
           and the market price per share. These options vest over an 18-month
           period. All options vest 100% in the event of a change of control of
           ownership.

        (b) Stock Warrants

        During 1992, warrants were sold at a price of $1 per warrant to
           directors to acquire 72,000 shares of the Company's Class A common
           stock. A note receivable was received as consideration for $21,000 of
           the total warrant proceeds of $72,000 and is reflected as a reduction
           of additional paid-in capital received for the warrants. This note
           receivable was canceled during 1996. Warrants to acquire 51,000
           shares of the Company's Class A common stock remain exercisable at
           June 30, 1996.

        At June 30, 1996, total warrants to purchase 643,269 shares were
           exercisable at prices of $.31 to $3.00.

                                                                     (Continued)
