                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)
                                 March 31, 2000


NOTE 1 - UNAUDITED INFORMATION:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 (b) of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements
reflect all adjustments (which comprise only normal recurring accruals)
necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of
March 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Information included in the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been derived from the
Company's audited financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999, to which reference is made.
Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform with the
2000 presentation.

NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the
first-in, first-out method for machine parts and specific identification for
machines held for sale.

NOTE 3 - CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE COSTS

The Company capitalizes computer software development costs in accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86;
"Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise
Marketed". Costs incurred to establish the technological feasibility of computer
software are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for product enhancements,
subsequent to establishing technological feasibility, are capitalized and stated
at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized
using the straight-line method over five years, which approximates the estimated
remaining useful life of the product. It is possible that the estimated economic
life of the products and related carrying values could be reduced in the near
term due to competitive pressures. Amortization of computer software costs
amounted to $155,547 and $143,032 for the three month periods ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

                                       5
<PAGE>


NOTE 4 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue Recognition - Revenue from equipment and system sales is recognized upon
shipment to the buyer and satisfaction of related obligations by the Company.
Revenue from software licensing is recognized on either delivery of the software
if collectibility is probable or upon completion of the majority of the product,
which equates to reaching a milestone in accordance with the contract, and any
remaining insignificant obligations of the Company are accounted for by
deferring a pro rata portion of revenue and recognizing it either ratably as the
obligations are fulfilled or on completion of performance, or by recording a
current year expense for the remaining costs associated with completing the
project.

NOTE 5 - EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE REVENUE

Equipment maintenance and service revenue is recognized as earned over the term
of the contract, which is generally a maximum of one year in length. Deferred
revenue represents the unearned portion of equipment maintenance and service
fees.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At March 31, 2000, the Company was committed under noncancelable, operating
leases for office space, automobiles and office equipment, expiring at various
dates through February 2004, requiring minimum rental payments as follows:

YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31:

              2000         $  247,829 (Balance of Year)
              2001            316,319
              2002            303,940
              2003            303,940
              2004             94,392
                           ----------
                           $1,266,420
                           ==========

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to
the computation of basic earnings per share except that the denominator is
increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been
outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. For the
three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the dilutive effect on
earnings per common share was insignificant.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Reference is made to Item 6 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation", contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for its year
ended December 31, 1999, for a discussion of the Company's financial condition
as of December 31, 1999, including a discussion of the Company's anticipated
liquidity and working capital requirements during 2000.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains, in addition to historical
information, certain forward-looking statements that involve significant risks
and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on management's
belief as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to,
management pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can generally be
identified as such because the context of the statement may include words such
as the Company "believes", "expects" or words of similar import. Similarly,
statements that describe the Company's future plans, objectives, estimates or
goals are also forward-looking statements. Such statements address future events
and conditions concerning capital expenditures, earnings, sales, liquidity and
capital resources, and accounting matters. The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking
statements contained herein. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Financial
Condition" below and in Item 1 - "Description of Business" and elsewhere in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999, as
well as factors such as future economic conditions and economic conditions in
the industries in which the Company's customers compete, a determination by the
Company's customers to prolong their test cycles of the Company's equipment,
software and software support services, a determination by the Company's
customers to modify or change their underlying computer and cash reporting
systems, acceptance by customers of the Company's products, changes in customer
demand, legislative, regulatory and competitive developments in markets in which
the Company operates and other circumstances affecting anticipated revenues and
costs. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly the result of
any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB
or to reflect the occurrence of other unanticipated events.

COMPARISON OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000
(THE "2000 QUARTER") TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 (THE "1999
QUARTER").

Total revenues for the 2000 Quarter were $3,063,980 compared to $3,290,643 for
the 1999 Quarter, a decrease of $226,663 (6.9%). In the 2000 Quarter, equipment
and systems sales decreased $263,951 (9.8%) due primarily to a large order from
a major retailer in the first quarter of 1999, which was not duplicated in 2000.
Maintenance and service revenue increased by $37,288 (6.2%) from the 1999
Quarter, due to more systems being under contract.

The ratio of cost of equipment and system sales to sales increased from 47.5% in
the 1999 Quarter to 59.0% in the 2000 Quarter, due to an increase in hardware
sales compared to system sales. Cost of maintenance and service to related
revenue decreased from 43.6% in the 1999 Quarter to 41.4% in the 2000 Quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,390,044 in the 2000 Quarter
compared to $1,356,017 in the 1999 Quarter. This was an increase of $34,027
(2.5%) and was primarily attributable to increases in marketing and trade show
costs.

Interest income for the 2000 Quarter was $16,489 compared to $11,292 for the
1999 Quarter. This increase of $5,197 (46.0%) was due to more funds available
for short term investments at higher interest rates.

The provision for income taxes in the 2000 Quarter was $15,337 reflecting an
increase in state tax allocations, offset somewhat by a decrease in federal
income taxes. This compares to a $160,000 provision in the 1999 Quarter.

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased $266,847 (108.9%) from a net
profit of $245,117 in the 1999 Quarter to a net loss of $21,730 in the 2000
Quarter.

FINANCIAL CONDITION:
- -------------------

At March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $3,092,662 (an increase of
$50,406 from $3,042,256 at December 31, 1999) and cash and cash equivalents
(including short term investments) of $783,519 (as compared to $1,768,847 at
December 31, 1999).

During the first three months of 2000, operating activities used $850,803 of net
cash, primarily from paying accrued liabilities and purchasing inventory.
Investing activities used $150,748 of net cash primarily for software
development.

The Company has a $750,000 discretionary line of credit for the Company's
short-term needs, at an interest rate equal to the bank's prime rate plus 1/2 %.
All advances under this line of credit are required to be secured by a lien on
substantially all of the Company's assets. Also, the Company has a standby term
line of credit for $150,000 (solely for the purchase of equipment) at an
interest rate equal to the bank's prime rate plus 1%. The Company has not
utilized the discretionary or standby lines of credit since February 1998.

The Company believes that its current working capital, together with anticipated
funds from operations, will be sufficient to meet the Company's projected
operating needs and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

In 1998, the Company commenced a program to repurchase up to 500,000 shares of
its common stock from time to time in the over-the-counter market. Although no
shares were purchased during the 2000 Quarter, the Company is continuing such
program during 2000 and, through May 8, 2000 the Company purchased 243,500
shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $254,025.

The Company leases its facilities. As of March 31, 2000, the Company had no
material commitments for capital expenditures.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE:

         The Company has completed its Year 2000 remediation efforts and, since
January 1, 2000, has not experienced any significant problems internally or with
suppliers and customers in connection with this event. Nevertheless, there still
remain some future dates that could potentially cause computer systems problems.

         The Company spent approximately $9,000 on its Year 2000 remediation
efforts. No significant future costs are anticipated.

         Because the Company has not, to date, experienced any significant
problems in the Year 2000, it does not anticipate any major impact on its
operations.
