On June 30, 1993, the Company entered into an amended agreement with private
investors which provided the Company with a loan in the amount of $200,000
repayable in one year together with an interest rate of 9% annum. In addition,
the amended agreement granted the investors two year options to purchase an
aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.75 per
share. In July 1993, one of the private investors assigned $20,000 of the loan
along with options to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock to one of the
Company's directors, who has since resigned from the Board.

Additionally, two former directors provided the Company with loans aggregating
$120,000 during the months of August and September, 1993 payable on demand with
an interest rate of 9% per annum.

On June 24, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with the above private
investors, former directors, and the Company's retained legal counsel. Pursuant
to the agreement the due date for the investors and former directors loans and
fees payable $(250,000) to legal counsel were extended until the first to occur
of (i) June 30, 1996, (ii) a public financing by the Company, or (iii) a private
financing of the Company of not less than $2,500,000. As June 30, 1996 date has
been reached, such amounts are now due. While the Company does not have the
ability to pay the amounts due to private investors, former directors and legal
counsel, it is attempting to renegotiate the terms of payment of these
obligations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
successful in these efforts. In addition, the exercise period of the investors'
options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock were extended three years and
the exercise price was reduced to $1.50.

Included in this agreement were the grant of five year warrants to one of the
former directors and the legal firm to purchase such number of shares of common
stock of the Company as is equal to the aggregate dollar amount of loans to made
($150,000) by that former director and unpaid legal fees ($250,000) at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share. There was no value attached to these
warrants.

Additionally, at December 31, 1997, the Company has a remaining balance of
$147,728 which was lent to the Company by two then directors during the
Company's second fiscal quarter of 1995. Both loans are payable on demand with
interest at 9% per annum.

NOTE 5. - INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 1997 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available
amounting to approximately $6.7 million which will expire between 2001 and 2011.
There is a remote possibility that net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $500,000 may not be available. There are no significant
differences in the recognition of income and expenses for tax and financial
reporting purposes. Federal income taxes normally provided for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 have been offset by the effects of the reduction of the
valuation allowance.

NOTE 6. - (LOSS) PER SHARE

In 1997 and 1996, the effect of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the
Company's common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive, therefore, were not
included in the per share computation.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1997 decreased $
111,000 (24%) compared to the corresponding period last year. The decrease is
primarily due to the lack of new contract awards during the current fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 1997 to replace the revenue earned of approximately $
225,000 during the corresponding year ago quarter on a now completed U.S.

Government Agency contract.

The Company's net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 1997 increased $
258,000 (24%) compared to the nine months ended December 31, 1996. The increase
is primarily due to revenues earned for the nine months ended December 31, 1997
of approximately $500,000 from a U.S. Government contract, and equipment
shipments of $145,000 for a contract in Kuwait.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 37% for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 versus 55% during the same period a year ago. For the nine
months ended December 31, 1997, the gross profit percentage was 46% versus 48%
for the corresponding period last year. The gross margin for the three months
ended December 31, 1997 is lower compared to the corresponding year ago period
due to differences in sales mix and the underabsorption of overhead expenses
resulting from the current three month period low sales volume.

Engineering, research and development expenses for the three months ended
December 31, 1997 were $54,000, a decrease of 11% ($7,000) versus the expenses
incurred for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 due to staff
reduction during the current year.

Engineering, research and development expenses for the nine months ended
December 31, 1997 were $173,000, an increase of 10% ($16,000) from the amount of
expenses incurred during the same period a year ago. This is the result of
increased product development efforts during the first six months of the current
year.

Marketing and sales expenses for three and nine months ended December 31, 1997
were $29,000 and $136,000, respectively, a decrease of 53% ($32,000) and 3%
($4,000) versus the expenses incurred during the same periods a year ago, due
primarily to a decrease in sales commissions and marketing costs.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended December
31, 1997 were $99,000 and $287,000, respectively, a decrease of 10% ($11,000)
and 3% ($9,000) versus the expenses incurred during the same periods a year ago.

The net loss for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1997 was ($72,000)
and ($28,000) respectively, compared to net income of $1,302 and a net loss of
($110,000) for the corresponding periods a year ago.

The future viability of the Company will depend upon the Company's success in
raising revenue levels, maintaining low cost levels and, if necessary, raising
additional financing.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain
contract awards which, in the aggregate, will provide significant revenues in
the immediate future, and the continued forebearance of its creditors. While
there can be no assurance of favorable results, the Company remains optimistic
about obtaining these potential contract awards.

To date, there has been no adverse effect on the Company's ability to perform on
any of its contracts due to its limited working capital. The Company has also

been able to maintain a satisfactory relationship with the majority of its
suppliers and has been able to substitute for dissatisfied vendors, when
necessary. For any large contract that the Company might be awarded in the
future where working capital might hamper its ability to perform, the Company
would attempt to negotiate adequate terms and delivery with the customer and/or,
if necessary, obtain required financing. There can be no assurance, however,
that the Company would be successful in these efforts.

The working capital (deficit) on December 31, 1997 was ($1,480,000) compared to
($1,453,000) on March 31, 1997. The increase in the working capital (deficit) is
primarily due to the $28,000 net loss for the nine months ended December 31,
1997. On December 31, 1997, the Company had $29,511 in cash compared to $52,149
at March 31, 1997.

Accounts receivable increased by $63,000 during the nine months ended December
31, 1997, due to a disproportionate amount of billings occurring in the later
half of the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1997.

Notes and loans payable of $737,000 at December 31, 1997 consist of $2,000
unsecured installment notes payable used to finance the Company's insurance
premiums, $17,000 of equipment installment notes and $718,000 due to private
investors, former directors, and legal counsel.

Pursuant to the agreement the due date for the investors and former directors
loans and fees payable to legal counsel were extended until the first to occur
of (i) June 30, 1996, (ii) a public financing by the Company, or (iii) a private
financing of the Company of not less than $2,500,000. As June 30, 1996 date has
been reached, such amounts are now due. While the Company does not have the
ability to pay the amounts due to private investors, former directors and legal
counsel, it is attempting to renegotiate the terms of payment of these
obligations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
successful in these efforts. Legal action by one or more of the foregoing
creditors of the Company to collect the amounts owed would likely have a
material adverse affect on the Company.

Accounts payable of $210,000 at December 31, 1997 are comparable to the balance
of $254,000 at March 31, 1997. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at
December 31, 1997 of $1,055,000 are $153,000 greater than the $902,000 at March
31, 1997. The increase is primarily due to an increase in accrued payroll taxes
for the nine months ended December 31, 1997.

In total, the net cash provided by operating activities was $66,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 1997, as compared to $52,000 for the nine months ended
December 31, 1996.

The Company has no significant capital expenditure plans at this time.
