On June 30, 1993, the Company entered into an amended agreement with private
investors that 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.


                                       8
<PAGE>

Additionally, two of the 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 has attempted to renegotiate the terms of payment of these
obligations.

On September 17, 1998 the private investors filed a lawsuit in the Superior
Court of New Jersey for the total principal amount of $200,000 together with
accrued interest of $103,000. On June 15, 1999 a Judgment by Default against the
Company was entered in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County.

The Company will seek a satisfactory resolution of this judgment. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to resolve the judgment.
The failure to do so will cause the Company to cease as a going concern.

Additionally, at December 31, 1999, the Company had a remaining balance of
$147,728 that 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, 1999 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available
amounting to approximately $7.2 million which will expire between 2001 and 2013.
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.

Note 6. - (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted per share data is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive and,
therefore, were not included in the diluted per share computations.

Item 2:

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
                                PLAN OF OPERATION



Results of Operations

The Company's net sales for the three months ended December 31, 1999 decreased
$85,000 (21%) compared to the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 net sales decreased $31,000 (3%), compared to the
corresponding period last year. These reductions are due to sales to the City of
New York and a commercial company for a local school system project during the
2nd and 3rd quarters of fiscal 1999 without corresponding revenues earned from
these customers during the first nine months of the current fiscal year.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended December
31, 1999 was 39% compared to 35% during the same period a year ago. For the nine
months ended December 31, 1999, the gross profit percentage was 42% compared to
38% during the same period a year ago. The increase in gross margin for the
three and nine months ended December 31, 1999 is due primarily to the favorable
effect of a high volume of Vikonics manufactured equipment and services sold
versus the lower margin of resold purchased equipment and services sold during
the previous fiscal 1999 nine month period.


Engineering, research and development expenses for three months ended December
31,1999 were $ 58,000, an increase of 12% ($6,000) due to outside programming
costs. Engineering, research and development expenses for the nine months ended
December 31, 1999 were $ 175,000, a decrease of 2% ($3,000) due primarily to a
net reduction in engineering consulting expenditures.

Marketing and sales expenses for the three and six months ended December 31,
1999 were $ 33,000 and $105,000, respectively. These amounts are essentially the
same as the expense levels of the same periods in the preceding year.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended December
31, 1999 were $ 96,000 and $ 257,000, respectively, a decrease of 26% ($ 34,000)
and 22% ($ 71,000) versus the expenses incurred during the same periods a year
ago. The variation is due to reductions in insurance and administrative payroll
costs and payroll tax penalty and interest charges.


The net (loss) for the three months ended December 31, 1999 was ($76,000)
compared to net (loss) of ($96,000) a year ago. The net (loss) for the nine
months ended December 31, 1999 was ($60,000) compared to net (loss) of
($173,000) a year ago, due to the factors regarding revenue and expenses
described above.

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. In addition, the future viability of the Company depends
on the outcome of the legal proceeding described under Liquidity and Capital
Resources.


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. 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


                                       10
<PAGE>

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, 1999 was ($2,062,000) compared to
($1,979,000) on March 31, 1999. The increase in the working capital deficit is
primarily due to the loss incurred for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.
At December 31, 1999 the Company had $43,000 in cash, compared to $30,000 in
cash at March 31, 1999.

Accounts receivable decreased by $37,000 during the nine months ended December
31, 1999 due the lower sales level.

Notes and loans payable of $718,000 at December 31, 1999 consists of amounts 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 $(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 has attempted to renegotiate the terms of payment of these
obligations.

On September 17, 1998 the private investors filed a lawsuit in the Superior
Court of New Jersey for the total principal amount of $200,000 together with
accrued interest of $103,000. On June 15, 1999 a Judgment by Default against the
Company was entered in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County.

The Company will seek a satisfactory resolution of this judgment. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to resolve the judgment.
The failure to do so will cause the Company to cease as a going concern.

Accounts payable of $234,000 at December 31, 1999 are $ 20,000 less than the
balance of $254,000 at March 31, 1999 due simply to the timing of certain vendor
payments. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 1999 of
$1,363,000 are $34,000 greater than the $1,329,000 at March 31, 1999. The
increase is primarily due to an increase in accrued payroll tax non- payment
penalties and interest for the nine months ended December 31, 1999.

In total, the net cash provided by operating activities was $ 36,000 for the
nine months ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $32,000 for the nine months
ended December 31, 1998.

The Company purchased approximately $2,600 of engineering computer equipment and
expended $20,000 during the 2nd fiscal 2000 quarter upgrading its operational
computer system. No other significant capital expenditures are planned at this
time.
