REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The company  generally  recognizes  revenues for product upon shipment.  Service
revenue is recognized ratably over the contractual period.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 86 ("SFAS-86") states that
the software development costs incurred after the establishment of technological
feasibility  and up to the general release of the software should be capitalized
and written off over a three year period.  These costs include  coding,  testing
and  product  quality  assurance.  The  Company  has  charged all these costs to
operations as incurred.  In the first quarter ended March 31, 1995, $103,614 was
capitalized and included in the Balance Sheet under "Other Assets".  This figure
was expensed by December 31, 1995.


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

         The following  discussion  and analysis  should be read in  conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared with quarter ended March 31, 1995

         Revenues  decreased 35% to $1,327,151 for the "First Quarter 1996" from
$2,027,207 for the "First  Quarter 1995".  The decrease in revenue was caused by
decreased sales of the Company's Datacomputers,  due primarily to a delay in the
penetration  of the  Bakery  market  awaiting  completion  of  installation  and
training at several Bakery  customers.  The Company  expects that for the fiscal
year ending  December 31, 1996 results in the Bakery market will show  excellent
results,  as well as  continued  accelerated  growth in the Beer  market.  Since
entering into an agreement with Anheuser-Busch in March 1993, which selected the
Company as one of two hand-held manufacturers  authorized to sell their products
to Anheuser-Busch  distributors,  sales have been increasing each year at a rate
of  approximately  30%. The Company  expects that sales to  Anheuser-Busch  will
continue to grow over the near term.

         Sales of the  Company's  ICAL 100 showed a decrease of 31% from 1995 to
1996.  Revenues  generated by the ICAL 100 are almost  exclusively  from current
customers who wish to continue to use their installed base of ICAL devices.  The
Company  intends to support the ICAL product  line,  but  believes  that current
trends of increasing  processing power in and decreasing costs of small portable
computers  such as the  Company's  Datacomputers  will  make the ICAL  line less
attractive to users in the future. As a result,  the Company expect sales of the
ICAL 100 to decrease in the future.

         Service and other  revenues  decreased to $265,619 in the First Quarter
1996 from  $316,198 in the First Quarter of 1995, a decrease of 16%. The Company
expects that service and other revenues will begin to rise over the next several
years as the  Company's  installed  base of  hand-held  computers  continues  to
expand.

         Costs and  operating  expenses  decreased  to  $1,694,394  in 1996 from
$1,801,165  in 1995,  a  decrease  of 6%. As a  percentage  of sales,  costs and
operating  expenses  increased  to 128% in 1996  from 89% in 1995.  The  Company
expects that costs and operating expenses will decrease as a percentage of sales
over the next several years, primarily as a results of increased sales without a
proportional increase in operating costs, because the current level of operating
expenses is projected to support a higher level of sales than achieved in 1995.

         Research and  development  expenses  decreased to $279,557 in 1996 from
$304,233 in 1995,  (In the first  quarter of 1995,  $103,614 of the $304,233 was
capitalized



under  SFAS-86 and was  included in balance  sheet under "Other  Assets").  As a
percentage of sales,  research and development expenses increased to 21% in 1996
from 15% in 1995. The percentage increase was due to the 35% decrease in revenue
compared to the 8% decrease in research and  development  expenses.  The Company
expects to fund research and development  effort to enhance current products and
to develop future products.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased to $803,549 in
1996  from  $769,570  in 1995,  an  increase  of 4%. As a  percentage  of sales,
selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased to 61% in 1996 from 38%
in 1995. The increase is primarily due to increases in salaries of the Company's
sales and marketing staff and the creation of new positions. The Company expects
that selling,  general and administrative expenses goinnng forward will decrease
as a percentage of sales due to anticipated increased sales without proportional
increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.

         The  Company's  operating  loss for the First Quarter 1996 was $367,243
compared to an operating income of $226,042 in First Quarter 1995. This reflects
the  decrease in the  Company's  sales and the  increase  in expenses  discussed
above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         To date,  the Company has financed its  activities  primarily  from the
sale of  equity to third  parties,  cash  flow  from  operations,  and a working
capital line of credit.  In the First quarter of 1996,  operating  cash flow was
positive,  despite operating losses,  due to a substantial  decrease in accounts
receivable.  In the First quarter 1995,  operating cash flow was negative due to
an  increase  in  accounts  receivable  as  a  result  of  increased  sales  and
capitalization of software development .

         At March 31,  1996,  the Company had a working  capital  line of credit
from a bank in the amount of $500,000. The Company's borrowing at March 31, 1996
was $440,000.  Borrowings under this line of credit are collateralized by all of
the assets of the Company. In the past, such indebtnness was also collateralized
by certain  certificates  of deposit in the amount of  $440,000  provided to the
bank by Norman Mackinnon, the Company's President.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
         On April 26, 1996,  the Company  completed a $3,000,000  private equity
placement, through the issuance of convertible preferred stock. Based on current
projections, the Company believes that the equity financing, which generated net
cash  proceeds  of  approximately  $2,640,000,   will  enable  to  meet  capital
requirements  for at least the next  twelve to twenty four  months.  Part of the
proceeds  was used to pay-off the  $440,000  due under the line of credit.  As a
result of this payment,  the bank returned the  certificates  of deposits to Mr.
Mackinnon,  and terminated Mr. Mackinnon's  obligations to personnally guarantee
this line of credit.



         On April 26,  1996,  the Company  announced  that Malcom Bibby had been
elected President and CEO by the Board of Directors.  Norman  Mackinnon,  former
President and Chairman, will retain the Chairmanship. Dr. Bibby joined the Board
in January,  1996 and was also  consulting with the Company for the last several
months. Dr. Bibby served as President of LXE, Inc., a diversified  wireless data
communications  product company,  from 1983 to December 1993. During his tenure,
LXE,  Inc.'s  revenues grew from $600,000 to  $63,000,000.  Dr. Bibby,  akso has
extensive  experience in both  hardware and software  product  development.  Dr.
Bibby  holds  a  Bachelor  of  Science  degree  and a Ph.D,  both in  Electrical
Engineering,  from the University of Liverpool and an MBA from the University of
Chicago.
