Dear Shareholder:
A meeting of the Shareholders of Osicom Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"),

The Company adjourned the formal portion of that meeting to allow the Company

the Company's proxy statement. The adjourned meeting will resume at the
Company's corporate headquarters at 2800 28th Street, Santa Monica, California,

The purposes of the resumed meeting are to (i) elect a Board of four (4)
directors; (ii) ratify the appointment of auditors, (iii) approve an amendment
to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of
shares authorized for issuance; (iv) approve an amendment to the Company's
1988 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan to increase the number of
shares reserved thereunder; (v) ratify and approve the adoption of the
Company's 1997 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan; and (vi) ratify
and approve the adoption of the Company's 1997 Director Stock Option Plan.
These matters are discussed in the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Statement
