Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.

                                    GENERAL

   THE COMPANY

   IMS designs and develops microprocessor chip  technologies, focusing on ways
to raise the performance and functionality of industry-standard microprocessors
while lowering their cost.  IMS sells its technologies through licensing
arrangements with industry leaders or by selling end products directly to
consumers.

   IMS has identified several business strategies to achieve future growth. They
include:

   -   Proprietary technology developed and patented by the Company for
       leading-edge design.

   -   Diverse product line targeting mainstream industry-compatible
       devices to meet the needs of major computer, entertainment and
       telecommunications markets and the high end of the emerging Internet
       access market.

   -   Partnerships and joint development or marketing arrangements with
       select, industry leaders.

                                       6
<PAGE>

These strategies, coupled with the Company's ability to leverage and reuse its
technology to meet anticipated consumer demands, should allow IMS to compete
effectively  with major manufacturers.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

   The last few years have seen a tremendous growth in world-wide PC shipments. 
PC unit shipments reached 60 million in 1995, up 25% over 1994 according to San
Jose, California-based Dataquest.  Although most analysts expect growth to slow
down in 1996, Dataquest estimates the world market will show a 19% increase. 
The last few months have seen a tremendous drop in the average selling price of
memory chips (DRAM) which will increase the cost-effectiveness of PCs for
consumers and businesses, thus boosting demand for PCs and hence PC processors. 
The broad demand for performance and new functionality - especially multimedia
and games - is accelerating the switch-over to Pentium-TM- processors instead of
486 processors or clones as the processor of choice for new PCs.

   An industry expert projects Intel Pentium-TM- shipments will reach 49 million
in 1996.  Intel is expected to introduce the P55C -- a variation of the Pentium-
TM- with built-in multimedia extensions (MMX) and a larger internal cache -- in
the first quarter of 1997.  Next year is also expected to be a good year for
high-end Pentium-TM- processor shipments, particularly those with multimedia
extensions.

   IMS PRODUCTS

   Currently, IMS is focusing on three areas of product and technology
development which the Company expects to combine on a single chip.  They are:

   -   Intel-Compatible Processors - the Meta 6000 family

   -   Internet Language Accelerators - the Meta Expresso and Double Expresso 

   -   Speech and Media Processing - Research Studies and Prototypes


INTEL-COMPATIBLE PROCESSORS

   Over the past decade, IMS has designed and produced a series of
microprocessors, the Meta 3230, 3240 and 3250, that emulate both high-level
languages and industry-standard machine languages.  The Meta 3240 emulated
Motorola's 68000 instruction set, while the Meta 3250 could emulate both the
Motorola 68040 and the Intel 486 instruction sets.  These emulators performed
well and exhibited good fidelity, running industry-standard software like DOS
and Windows.

   In partnership with a major international semiconductor manufacturer, IMS is
developing the Meta 6000, a fully custom socket-compatible version of the Intel
Pentium-TM- with performance targeted to the equivalent of a 300 MHz 
Pentium-TM-.  Special features include:

                                       7
<PAGE>

   -   Deep pipeline with multiple execution units with out-of-sequence 
       execution.

   -   On-chip MMX (Intel's Multimedia Unit) calculated to be 30% more powerful
       than Intel's P55C MMX, on a clock-for-clock basis. 

   -   Process accelerator mechanisms.

          IMS-proprietary branch prediction and memory structures help avoid 
          pipeline breakage due to control transfers or memory access delays, 
          increasing the number of instructions that can be executed in a single
          cycle.  Each of these design elements is individually reusable.

          Our Meta 6000 will be manufactured using a .35 micron production 
processor, and we plan, with our development partner, to shrink it down to a 
 .25 micron process that they expect to have in 1998.  This can result in a chip 
called the Meta 6500 that has the equivalent performance of a 500 MHz Pentium.

INTERNET LANGUAGE ACCELERATORS

     Since Sun announced JAVA in May, 1995, there has been tremendous industry
interest in it. JAVA addresses otherwise intractable problems of integration and
decentralized program development in a network environment.  Sun is applying
substantial resources to promote JAVA.  It has been recognized in the software
development industry as a language to consider for use in all future software
development.

IMS has deep roots in designing very high level language engines -- the Meta
3230 and 3240.  These products were developed to execute SMALLTALK byte-codes in
addition to standard machine languages, such as C, C++ and FORTRAN.  Indeed, the
Meta 3240 ran SMALLTALK programs 10-30 times faster than competing
microprocessors.  

     The mechanisms and techniques developed by IMS for supporting these early
products are directly applicable to JAVA, a simple, general purpose programming
for Internet applications.  The JAVA language is designed so that applications
written in it will run in a network of computers made by different
manufacturers, or using different microprocessors.  Typically, the JAVA
instructions are interpreted in these machines using their own native
instructions which often significantly slows down their execution time.  Many
companies are looking for ways to accelerate JAVA and obtain much higher levels
of performance.  When applied to JAVA, the existing 3240 design yields as much
as 15 to 30 times improved performance over software interpretation of JAVA on
standard Reduced Instruction Set (RISC) engines. 

     IMS is using this technology to develop a high-performance JAVA  chip, the
Meta Expresso-TM-, which will support inexpensive JAVA -programmable devices. 
It is possible to raise performance for JAVA applications by using JIT (Just-In-
Time) compilers; however, this requires

                                       8
<PAGE>

lots of DRAM memory and local mass storage disks.  The Meta Expresso chip 
will be an ideal platform for an inexpensive but high performance Internet 
terminal, which can be included in future TV sets as well as low cost 
Internet computer boxes.

     As more elaborate multimedia human interfaces and broader use of JAVA as a
general-purpose language create the need for even greater performance, IMS may
develop an even higher performance engine, the Meta Double-Expresso-TM-, by
applying the super-scalar technologies and mechanisms under development for the
Meta 6000.

SPEECH AND MEDIA PROCESSING

   Working with speech processing methods for voice compression, IMS and
Standard Object Systems began in 1995 to develop a way to use speaker-dependent
information to dramatically reduce the bandwidth needed for compressed speech.
By early 1996, IMS  was able to demonstrate intelligible but noisy voice
transmission at less than 600 bps.  This research effort is continuing at a low
level.

   IMS demonstrated Japanese speech recognition using an early phonetic speech
recognition prototype in 1995.  Although the technique is still in the research
phase, it has roots in the phonetic structure of the Japanese language and seems
well-suited to global application.

   MPEG is the acronym for the compression standard in the industry for
multimedia transmission.  IMS is tracking the developing MPEG-4 standards, which
will not only increase compression rates and improve quality, particularly in
low-bandwidth coding of speech, but also set a standard that will synchronize
lip movement to voice by synchronizing the variable video rate with the voice
compression rate.  The MMX unit in the IMS Meta 6000 processor will contain many
elements applicable to an MPEG controller, and IMS is exploring a variety of
hardware assists for MPEG-4 audio/video standards based on the Company's
experience with related technologies.  Future development of an MPEG-4 chip is
under consideration.  IMS management believes that speech, graphics and video
are key parts of the new computing paradigm.

   THE FUTURE

   Sun Microsystems estimates the potential size of the JAVA chip market to grow
to a total of $15 billion  by the year 2000.  IMS should be able to 
successfully compete for a portion of this business using the next chip in our
development progression, the Meta Double Expresso, which is expected to improve
the performance of the Meta Expresso.  

     As the Company  adds  MPEG capabilities to some chips, we will consider 
incorporating  this capability in the next generation Meta 7000.  This 
processor may be built at .18 microns.  All three of the IMS technologies may
come together in this product and could be used in a variety of applications in
consumer network computers, wired and wireless telecommunications, single chips
imbedded in a television set allowing viewers to surf the Internet with their TV
or running  JAVA.

                                       9

   THE WORLD IS witnessing a spectacular growth in the use of the Internet.  In
1980 there were 100 hosts on the Internet.  In 1995 there were 10 million hosts
on the Internet.  There are now over 16 million Web users in the US and Canada,
and the annual Internet population growth is estimated to be 100% per year for
the foreseeable future.  JAVA  will help fuel this growth by making it much
easier to develop programs and information presentations in a distributed and
independent manner.  Indeed, this may be a major and irreversible paradigm shift
in the way programming is done.

   IMS expects Java to proliferate throughout business.  It is already being
used today in many applications that consumers are unaware of.  The largest
growing segment of the business is companies that operate proprietary
"intranets" where they communicate within their own system or industry, such as
banking and airlines.  Our vision for tomorrow is a combination of the three
technologies we are currently developing high performance Intel-compatible
processors, Internet language accelerators and speech compression and media
processing.

   The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report may be affected by a
number of factors including but not limited to changes in the market for 
microprocessors, competitive actions taken by competitors, the ability of the
Company to recruit the necessary technical staff, or the availability of
financing.  No assurance can be given that any projected schedule can be met or
that the specifications required for the products to be successfully marketed
can be achieved.

                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, 2ND QUARTER, 1996

   The loss for the quarter increased by $1,791,696 compared to the same period
in 1995.  The Meta 6000 Microprocessor Design Project was at full staffing
during this reporting period, while in the same 1995 period, the contract was
just awarded in April and the staffing effort was just beginning.  In April of
1995, the Company relocated from Torrance to larger offices near the Los Angeles
Airport, and subsequently opened a Design Center in Austin, TX in November,
1995.  This expansion, focused on the Meta 6000 project, accounts for the vast
majority of the increase in net loss for the period.

   There was no revenue from sales or development contract payments during the
reporting period.  This is a decrease of $400,000 from 1995 when the Company
sold a non-exclusive license for rights to the Meta 3250 to an international
computer and semiconductor manufacturer for $300,000.  In addition, $100,000 of
development contract payments were received in 1995.   Due to the uneven phasing
of development contract payments, no revenue was  received during this period.

   Research and Development expense during the reporting period increased by
$931,704 over the comparable period in 1995.  This increase was primarily due to
the increase in technical staffing  from 5 to 51.  The staff of 51 consists of
mostly full time employees and  a number of part-time and full-time consultants
to support the Meta 6000 development and the other company projects.  In
addition, the 4376 square foot Austin Design Center, which was opened in

                                       10
<PAGE>

November of 1995, was expanded to 5704 square foot during the quarter. There
were no expenses associated with the Austin Center  during the comparable period
in 1995.

   Selling, general and administrative expense during the reporting period
increased by $538,750 over the comparable period in 1995.  This increase was due
to the addition of administrative staff to support the increase of 46 engineers
and the creation of the Austin Design Center. There were also increases in
travel and communications charges required to coordinate the Meta 6000
development between headquarters and the Austin Design Center, recruiting fees
for staffing, relocation fees for new employees, consulting fees for product
studies, and market development for voice compression and internet computer
products.  Also, Federal and state taxes associated with employee headcount
increased proportionately with the increase in staffing.

   Depreciation and Amortization increased during the reporting period by $4,765
over the comparable period in 1995.  An increase in depreciation on capital
equipment accounted for the difference.

   Interest Income (net) increased by  $127,766 during the reporting period over
the comparable period in 1995.  This increase was earned on the remaining
balance of the $10,000,000 that was raised at the end of 1995 and during the
first quarter of 1996.   

   Loss on Investment of $44,244 occurred due to the impact of the fluctuation
of interest rates on the temporary investments of  the Company.  There were no
corresponding expenses in 1995.

                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, 1ST HALF, 1996

   The loss for the first half  increased by $2,621,387 compared to the same 
period in 1995.  During the first half of 1995, the company was in 
negotiations which culminated in the Meta 6000 Microprocessor Design Project 
kickoff in April of 1995.  During the first half of 1996, the Company was 
fully focused, staffed, equipped and working to complete the project.  The 
above discussion of operations for the Second  Quarter of 1996 also accounts 
for the vast majority of  the increase in net loss for the first half.

                     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY

   The Company's cash or cash equivalent position was $7,727,248 at the end of
the quarter compared  to $919,417 at the end of the year.  This cash, combined
with  anticipated progress payments from its Meta 6000 development contract
should allow the Company's activities related to the Meta 6000 Project to
proceed through initial chip production.  The anticipated progress payments are
tied to milestone achievement, and no assurance can be given that all or any of
such milestones will be achieved. Additional funding may be required to market
and inventory the chip for the retrofit market or for direct sales to Original
Equipment Manufacturers for inclusion in computer systems.  If  such funds are
required, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to obtain
them on acceptable terms. Business opportunities related to follow-on chips such
as the Meta 6500 or the Meta 7000, Java or voice related projects would 

                                       11
<PAGE>

require additional funds to initiate these new  projects.  No assurances can 
be given that any new project will be initiated or that funding for such 
projects can be obtained.

   The Company elected to pay interest, due June 30, 1996, on its Series A and
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in shares of Common Stock.  The amount of
such interest aggregated $41,000, and resulted in the issuance of  20,752 shares
of Common Stock.  The company may elect to satisfy interest due on December 31,
1996 and June 30, 1997 on both series of stock, and on November 30, 1997 on the
Series B in cash or through the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. 

AVAILABILITY OF NOLS

   The Company estimates that it had, for federal income tax purposes, net
operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") amounting to approximately $8,028,000 at
December 31,1995, which expire at various amounts through the year 2010 if not
utilized before then to offset taxable income.  

   Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and 
regulations issued thereunder, impose limitations on the ability of 
corporations to use NOLs, if the corporation experiences a more than 50% 
change in ownership during certain periods.The determination of whether an 
ownership change with in the meaning of Section 382 has occurred during the 
most recent period has not yet been made.  The detailed information necessary 
to determine testing dates and percentage ownership increases of five percent 
owners, if any, is not readily available; therefore, a determination of the 
testing dates and percentage ownership increases will not be made until the 
NOL is utilized.
