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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, revenues grew 30% and
28%, respectively as compared to the same periods of 1998. This revenue growth
is a result of the Company's focus on developing and marketing computer pointing
devices based on the Company's patented technologies, primarily in the
computerized presentation projector market. Revenues from these products grew to
$6.0 million and $6.2 million for the first and second quarters of 1999,
respectively. This was an increase from $4.6 million and $4.5 million in the
same periods of 1998. The Company has established relationships with most of the
major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM's) in the computerized presentation
projector market and currently derives approximately two-thirds of its revenue
from that market. Many of these OEM's reside in Japan (however the majority of
the end-user customer base is in the United States) and accordingly
approximately 50% of the Company's revenues come from Japanese customers. As
result the Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations,
primarily yen/dollar.

As a percent of revenues, gross profit remained at 38% for the second quarter of
1999 as compared to the same period of 1998. The Company expects gross profit
percentages to vary slightly from the current level depending on the mix of high
volume OEM business versus low volume OEM business or non OEM business.

Product development and research expenses were 8% of revenues for the second
quarter of 1999, as compared to 8% for the same period in 1998 as the Company
continues to develop products based on its proprietary VersaPoint, VersaPad and
RemoteLink Technologies. Given the industries the Company participates in,
management expects research and development costs, as a percent of revenues, to
remain at or near the current level.

For the second quarter ending June 30, 1999, selling, general and administrative
costs (S,G&A) declined to 22% of revenues, as compared to 27% for the same
period of 1998. The decrease resulted from the leveraging of fixed S,G&A costs
over a higher sales base and the greater mix of OEM sales which carry a
relatively lower S,G&A requirement.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1999, working capital totaled $15.5 million as compared to $14.1
million at December 31, 1998. This increase is primarily a result of the
Company's positive results from operations, additional bank debt and proceeds
from the exercise of employee stock options.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, operations generated $2.2 million in
cash due primarily to positive results from operations and improved accounts
receivable management.

For the first six months of 1999, investing activities consisted of the purchase
of production equipment.

For the six months ended June 30, 1999, financing activities constituted,
primarily, borrowings from Japanese banks and additional equity from employee
stock options, partially offset by the repayment of capital lease and other debt
obligations.

Year 2000 Issues

The Company has assessed the Year 2000 compliance of each of the products it
currently manufactures and sells. The Company believes each of those products
and their component parts is Year 2000 compliant.

The Company has assessed the sensitivity of its internal manufacturing control,
accounting and information management systems and determined that a majority of
its systems have no material Year 2000 deficiencies. The Company has developed
and is implementing a strategy to identify and eliminate any remaining system
deficiencies. The Company believes that the total cost of eliminating such
deficiencies will not exceed $100,000. Completion of this program is expected by
September 1999.

In the fourth quarter of 1998 the Company requested each of its suppliers of
critical parts and services to provide information to the Company about the
entity's anticipated Year 2000 compliance. Until that information is received,
the Company cannot complete that phase of the Company's Year 2000 assessment. In
1999 the Company expects to complete plans for risk management and any
contingency plans determined to be necessary. To date, the Company has not
received notice of or become aware of any material Year 2000 deficiency by a
significant vendor, financial institution or customer.

At this time, the Company believes costs incurred in responding to other
parties' Year 2000 computer system deficiencies, together with the cost of any
required modifications to the Company's ancillary systems, will not have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
This analysis may be modified as the Company receives responses from its parts
and services suppliers. Deficiencies not cured could severely impact the
Company's ability to meet the above cost estimate, timeline and its ability to
operate efficiently beyond January 1, 2000.

In its analysis, the Company has assumed that basic public utilities such as
gas, electric and telephone services will continue to be available for
operations of the Company on and after January 1, 2000. If this assumption
proves incorrect, the operations of the affected location would be materially
adversely affected for the duration of the interruption.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time the Company may issue forward-looking statements that involve
a number of risks and uncertainties. The following are among the factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements: business conditions and growth in the electronics industry and
general economies, both domestic and international; lower than expected customer
orders, delays in receipt of orders or cancellation of orders; competitive
factors, including increased competition, new product offerings by competitors
and price pressures; the availability of third party parts and supplies at
reasonable prices; changes in product mix; significant quarterly performance
fluctuations due to the receipt of a significant portion of customer orders and
product shipments in the last month of each quarter; and product shipment
interruptions due to manufacturing problems. The forward looking statements
contained in this document regarding industry trends, revenue and product mix,
costs and gross profit expectations, product development costs, operating
expense improvements, cash flow foreign currency, exchange risk, year 2000
compliance and future business activities should be considered in light of these
factors.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

The Company enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain
revenue exposures against future movements in foreign exchange rates. Gains and
losses on the forward contracts are largely offset by gains and losses on the
underlying exposure and consequently a sudden or significant change in foreign
exchange rates would not have a material impact on future net income or cash
flows.
