4. INCOME TAXES 
   ------------

     On April 3, 1993, the Company adopted the Statement of Financial           
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Such              
adoption had no cumulative effect on the Company's consolidated                 
financial statements.  Prior years' financial statements have not been          
restated.                                                                       
                                                                                
     The Company has available net operating and capital loss                   
carryforwards, including preacquisition operating loss carryforwards            
which relate to a predecessor company, which expire during the period           
2003-2008.  The Company's possible use of the loss carryforwards will be        
limited as a result of several different changes in ownership which have        
occurred since the carryforwards started to accumulate.  The use of the         
net operating loss carryforwards are limited due to statutory provisions        
which apply after certain changes in control occur.                             
                                                                                
     For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been           
established to reflect a net deferred tax balance of $0 as of the date          
of adoption of FAS 109 as well as at July 5, 1996.                              
                                                                                
     The Company estimates that no current provision for income taxes is        
required for the three months ended July 5, 1996.                               
                                                                                
5. DEBT
   ----

     On August 12, 1994, the Company secured financing from a bank in           
the form of a $300,000 note payable and a $500,000 revolving credit             
agreement ("Agreement").  On April 7, 1995, the Company refinanced the          
note in the amount of $402,823 and reduced the monthly payments from            
$16,666.67 to $13,427.44.  The note bears interest at a rate of floating        
prime plus 2%.  On July 31, 1995, the Company has a line of credit              
facility with the bank which provides for $750,000 in advances at a rate        
of prime plus 1% and matures in August 1996.                                    
                                                                                
     As of July 31, 1996, the Company has borrowed the full amount              
available under its line of credit and, further, is not in compliance           
with certain financial covenants under the credit agreeement.  The              
Company is engaged in negotiations with its lender with respect to the          
note payable and line of credit to (i) extend the maturity date of the          
line of credit, (ii) restructure the payment terms of both the note             
payable and the line of credit and, (iii) obtain waivers with respect to        
the loan covenant violations.  The Company has classified all borrowings        
due to this lender as current obligations, pending the satisfactory             
resolution of these matters.  However, there can be no assurances that          
the Company will be able to satisfactorily resolve these matters.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
        FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 5, 1996.
                                                                                

INTRODUCTION                                                                    
- ------------

     The comparative information contained herein includes results of           
operations for the Company's continuing businesses.  Certain previous           
components of the Company are presented as discontinued operations in           
the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.                             
                                                                                
                                                                                
LIQUIDITY                                                                       
- ---------

     Cash used in continuing operations amounted to $102,000 for the            
three months ended July 5, 1996 compared to cash used in continuing             
operations of $114,000 for the comparable three months ended July 7,            
1995.  The increase in cash used continuing operations as compared to           
the prior year fiscal period primarily reflects the increase in product         
sales.                                                                          
                                                                                
     Cash used in investing activities amounted to $68,000 for the three        
months ended July 5, 1996 compared with $102,000 used in financing              
activities for the comparable three months of the prior fiscal year.            
This decrease from the same period of the prior fiscal year can be              
attributable to the Company capitalizing a lesser amount of software            
development costs as a result of a smaller development headcount and a          
lesser amount of expenditures related to capital purchases.                     
                                                                                
     Cash provided by  financing activities during the three months             
ended July 5, 1996 was $106,000 from the three months ended July 5, 1996        
versus $42,000 of cash used in financing activities for the same three          
months of the prior fiscal year.  This change can be attributed to the          
Company borrowing against its revolving credit agreement.                       
                                                                                
     Working capital amounted to $860,000 at July 5, 1996, an increase          
of $167,000, since April 5, 1996.  The ratio of current assets to               
current liabilities at July 5, 1996 was 1.23 to 1.00 compared to 1.18 to        
1.00 at April 5, 1996.                                                          
                                                                                
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 
- ---------------------

     Product sales revenue from continuing operations for the quarter           
ended July 5, 1996 totaled approximately $3,025,000 compared to                 
$1,856,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year, an              
increase of 63%.  This increase in product sales revenue can be                 
attributed to the Company's decision to increase its sales directly to          
VAR's and major accounts.                                                       
                                                                                
     Cost of products sold for the quarter amounted to $1,852,000 or 61%        
of product sales revenues versus $1,275,000 or 69% for the comparable           
quarter of the prior year. The decrease in cost of products sold as a           
percentage of product sales revenues during the three months ended July         
5, 1996, when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, can         
be attributed to the Company's inability to reduce its fixed                    
manufacturing costs during a period of decreased sales in the prior year        
as well as the continuing reduction of its cost of products sold through      
outsourcing in the current year.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS 
         FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 5, 1996 (CONTINUED).


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------------------

     Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $805,000          
or 27% of product sales revenue for the three months  ended July 5, 1996        
versus $1,273,000 or 69% of product sales revenue for the comparable            
three months of the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in expenses during         
the quarter ended July 5, 1996 versus the same period of the prior              
fiscal year can be attributed to the Company's ability to reduce its            
headcount while  providing a greater level of service to its customers,         
a reduction in professional fees resulting from the settlement of               
various lawsuits, and the Company's successful efforts in reducing its          
day-to-day operating expenses.  Also,  the Company continues to review          
its alternatives with respect to relocating to a new facility in the            
same general area which will result in a significant reduction in the           
Company's overall monthly occupancy costs.                                      
                                                                                
     Product development expenses amounted to $274,000 or 9% of product         
sales revenue for the three months ended July 5, 1996 versus $556,000 or        
30% of product sales revenue for the comparable three month period of           
the prior fiscal year.  The decrease during the three months ended July         
5, 1996, as compared to the same three month period of the prior fiscal         
year  can be attributed to a decision made in the prior fiscal year to          
take a one-time charge to accelerate the amortization of product                
development expenses related to costs capitalized prior to April 1,             
1994.                                                                           
                                                                                
     The Company reported income from continuing operations for the             
quarter ended July 5, 1996 of $94,000 compared to loss from continuing          
operations of $1,248,000 for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal         
year.   The increase in income is due primarly to increased product             
sales revenue. The Company also continues to benefit from the major             
reductions in day-to-day operating expenses and the continuing reduction        
of its cost of products sold through  outsourcing.
