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


         THIRD  QUARTER  ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30, 1996  COMPARED WITH THIRD QUARTER
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.

         Revenues  decreased 24% to $1,136,928 for the "Third Quarter 1996" from
$1,492,776 for the "Third  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 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%.

         Service and other  revenues  increased to $266,804 in the Third Quarter
1996 from $208,327 in the Third Quarter of 1995, an increase of 28%. The Company
expects  that  service and other  revenues  will  continue to rise over the next
several years as the Company's  installed base of hand-held  computers continues
to expand.

         Costs and  operating  expenses  increased  to  $1,820,479  in 1996 from
$1,746,982  in 1995,  an increase  of 4%. As a  percentage  of sales,  costs and
operating  expenses  increased  to 160% in 1996 from 117% 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,  since the current level of operating
expenses is projected to support a higher level of sales than achieved in 1995.

         Research and  development  expenses  increased to $363,868 in 1996 from
$325,961 in 1995,  (In the third  quarter of 1995,  $125,050 of the $325,961 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 32% in 1996 from 22% for the same  period in 1995.  The  Company  expects  to
continue funding research and development effort to enhance current products and
to develop future products.

         Selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased to $870,744 in
the  third  quarter  of 1996 from  $761,156  in the third  quarter  of 1995,  an
increase of 14%. As a percentage of sales,  selling,  general and administrative
expenses  increased  to 77% in 1996 from 51% in 1995.  The increase is primarily
due to creation of new positions in the


                                       7





Company's sales and marketing staff.  The Company expects that selling,  general
and administrative expenses going 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 Third Quarter of 1996 was $669,080
compared  to an  operating  loss of $275,783  for the same period in 1995.  This
reflects  the  decrease  in the  Company's  sales and the  increase  in expenses
discussed above.

         NINE MONTHS ENDED  SEPTEMBER  30, 1996  COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.

         Revenues for the first nine months of 1996  decreased 25% to $4,101,070
from  $5,445,819 for the same period in 1995. The current period  includes sales
to each of the following markets:  Bakery,  Beer, Dairy, Office Coffee,  Uniform
and Inventory Services.

         Cost and operating expenses for the first nine months of 1996 decreased
to  $5,351,609  from  $5,412,730  in 1955, a decrease of 1%. As a percentage  of
sales,  costs and operating expenses increased to 130% in 1996 from 99% 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 result  of
increased sales, without proportional increase in operating costs.

         Research and  development  expenses  decreased to $926,599 in the first
nine months of 1996 from  $946,484  for the same  period in 1995.  (In the first
nine months of 1995 $327,112 of the $946,484 was  capitalized  under SFAS-86 and
was included in the Balance  Sheet under  "Other  Assets").  As a percentage  of
sales,  research and development  expenses increased to 23% in 1996 from 17% for
the same period in 1995. The Company  expects to maintain  ongoing  Hardware and
Software programs  necessary to enhance current products,  and to develop future
products.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,457,970 in
the first nine months of 1996 from  $2,383,735  in 1995, an increase of 3%. As a
percentage of sales, selling,  general and administrative  expenses increased to
60% in 1996 from 44% in 1995.  The increase is primarily  due to creation of new
positions in the Company's sales and marketing  staff.  The Company expects that
selling,  general and  administrative  expenses going forward will decrease as a
percentage of sales due to  anticipated  increased  sales  without  proportional
increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During  the  first  nine  months  of  1996,  the  Company  successfully
completed two private  placements,  under  Regulation S, through the issuance of
convertible  preferred  stock.  The first equity  placement  closed on April 26,
1996,  at which time the Company  issued 3,000  shares of "Series B  Convertible
Preferred  Stock" with net proceeds of $2,667,000.  The second equity  placement
was  completed  on June 28,  1996,  with the sale of 1,200  shares of  "Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock" with net proceeds of $1,018,000.

         The proceeds were used to fund the operating loss of $1,248,407 for the
first nine months of 1996 and payment of liabilities.  Part of the proceeds were
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,  (the
Company former President).

          The capital lease relates to capital equipment leased during the third
quarter of 1996 in the amount of $96,335.  The lease has a term of 4 years, with
monthly payments of $2,957 due through 2000.

          In the  first  nine  months  of 1995,  the  negative  cash  flow  from
operation  was  due to an  increase  in  accounts  receivable,  as a  result  of
increased sales, and the capitalization of software development.

         The  Company   manages  its  working  capital  and,  based  on  current
projections,  believes that the current equity financing will enable the Company
to meet working capital requirements for at least the next twelve to twenty-four
months.

PREFERRED CONVERTIBLE STOCK

         The  holders  of  shares of Series B  Convertible  Preferred  Stock are
entitled to  receive,  in addition  to any  dividends,  interest  equal to eight
percent  (8%)  per  annum of the  stated  value  of such  Series  B  Convertible
Preferred Stock.  Such interest will accrue from the Original Issuance Date, and
shall be payable, in cash or Common Stock, on a quarterly basis, commencing with
the fiscal  quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Payment of interest due hereunder with
respect to those  shares of Series B  Convertible  Preferred  Stock that  remain
issued and outstanding at the end of each of the Company's  fiscal quarter shall
be made within 15 business days after the filing with the SEC of the  applicable
report.
         At the end of September 30, 1996,  the Company has accrued  interest in
the amount of $124,000,  which was recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.
Also at the end of September 30, 1996,  $40,000 of the accrued interest was paid
to the holders with the issuance of Common Stock.
