      Note 4 - Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding including the dilutive effects of options and
warrants.

      Note 5 - The Company provides for income taxes during interim reporting
periods based on reported earnings before income taxes using an estimate of
the annual effective tax rate.  Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of
temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized
for tax purposes.  These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently
enacted tax laws.

      Note 6 - Effective April 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of
accounting for incomes taxes from the deferred method to the liability method
required by FASB Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The effect
of the adoption of this statement had no impact on the operating results,
components of income tax expense or financial position of the Company.  

      The principal components of the Company's deferred tax assets and
liabilities as of April 1, 1995 consisted of the following (in thousands):

    Deferred tax assets:
      Expenses not currently deductible                $  462
      Operating loss carry forwards                     3,004

      There was no change to the valuation allowance during the quarter ended
June 30, 1995.

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

OVERVIEW

    The Company's revenues are generated by marketing and distributing
specialty PC-based software and hardware to technical and professional PC
users through its catalog operations:  The Programmer's SuperShop (TPS),
Personal Computing Tools SuperShop (PCT), and New Media SuperShop (NMS).  In
addition, SDC Communications (SDCC) provides marketing services to third-party
manufacturers, developers and publishers of the products the Company
distributes.  


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following information should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto:

                                             % to Net Revenue      % Change
For the three months ended June 30,            1995    1994        95 v. 94

  Net Revenues:
      Product sales (TPS, PCT, NMS)             90%    88%           70%
      Marketing services (SDCC)                 10%    12%           46%

      Marketing services (SDCC)                 35%    38%           33%
                                                19%    23%           36%

    expenses                                    18%    22%           31%

  Net income                                     1%     *           513%

  * Less than 1%
       
Revenues:  Total net revenues for the first quarter ended June 30, 1995
increased $5,322,000, or 68%, to $13,206,000 from $7,884,000 the first quarter
ended June 30, 1994.  

       Net product sales increased $4,901,000, or 70%, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996 to $11,870,000 from $6,969,000 in the same period last year.  This
increase in product revenue was primarily due the growth of the Company's
corporate sales group whose outbound selling effort has successfully
established major account relationships.  The growth in product sales was
accelerated by an improving software development tools market and the
expansion of the Company's corporate sales group.

       Marketing services revenues increased by $422,000, or 46%, to
$1,337,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 from $915,000 in the same
period last year.  This increase was mainly attributable to newly developed
quarterly marketing programs designed for low-cost promotion of manufacturers'
products.

Gross Margin:  Total gross margin increased $670,000, or 36%, to $2,507,000 in
the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from $1,837,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.
<PAGE>
       Gross margin from product sales increased $554,000, or 37%, to
$2,040,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 from $1,486,000 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1994.  The increase in product gross margin was generated by
the growth in sales volume generated by the corporate sales group.  As a
percent of sales, however, gross margin from product sales decreased to 17%
from 21% as a result of competitive pricing pressures that exist in the
software distribution market and volume discounts offered to corporate
customers.

       Gross margin from marketing services income increased $117,000, or 33%,
to $467,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 from $350,000 in the first
quarter of fiscal 1995.  This increase in gross margin is attributable to 
newly developed quarterly marketing programs designed to promote software
manufacturers' products.  These programs tend to yield higher gross margins
than sales generated from the Company's catalogs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:  Selling, General and
Administrative (SG&A) expenses increased 31% to $2,312,000 in the quarter
ended June 30, 1995 from $1,760,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  The
increase was mainly attributable to planned headcount additions in the
corporate sales group, which produced increased revenue for the quarter.  SG&A
as a percent of revenue declined to 18% from 22% reflecting the ability to
leverage existing operations to grow revenue.

Interest Expense:  Net interest expenses decreased in the quarter ended June
30, 1995 to $40,000 from $51,000 in the same period last year.  This decline
is mainly attributable to lower interest rates offered to the Company on its
line of credit.

       The Company's quarterly operating results have varied and may continue
to vary significantly depending on factors such as the timing of significant
product marketing programs, the timing of new product introductions, and the
mix of service and product sales.  Substantially all of the Company's product
revenue in a quarter is derived from orders received in that quarter. 
Accordingly, delays in orders are likely to result in the associated revenue
not being realized by the Company in the period.  Moreover, the Company's
expense levels are based in part on expectations of future revenue levels, and
a shortfall in expected revenue could therefore result in a disproportionate
decrease in the Company's net income.

   Net cash used for financing activities              (6)           (7)
<PAGE>
       The Company's net cash balance increased $312,000 to $647,000 at June
30, 1995 from $335,000 at March 31, 1995.  Cash generated by operating
activities of $359,000 was achieved during the quarter, primarily from net
income.  Other accrued expenses increased $804,000 to $1,316,000 at June 30,
1995 from $512,000 at March 31, 1995.  This increase mainly represents
accruals made by the Company for inventory received and expenses incurred but
not invoiced at June 30, 1995.

       Accounts receivable-trade increased 14% to $5,019,000 at June 30, 1995
from $4,414,000 at March 31, 1995.  This increase resulted from the Company's
revenue growth.  The Company continues to maintain an expanded collections
program to yield favorable collection results.

       Working capital increased $257,000 to $827,000 at June 30, 1995 from
$570,000 at March 31, 1995.

       The Company has a $2,000,000 secured bank line of credit under which
borrowings bear interest at the bank's prime rate plus 1%.  The line is
subject to renewal on January 5, 1996.  Available borrowings under the line
are based on 80% of eligible accounts receivable.  Covenants under the line of
credit require the Company to maintain certain net worth and financial ratios. 
The Company is currently in default of certain financial covenants and has
received a written waiver for the period June 30, 1995 with the condition that
the maximum borrowings under the credit facility be limited to the current
outstanding balance until such time as a new credit restructuring is agreed
upon.  The Company and the bank are currently in the process of renegotiating
the line of credit and the covenants governing the agreement which have caused
past defaults.  

       The Company anticipates that its existing cash resources, cash flow
from operations and the continued availability of its bank line of credit will
be sufficient to fund its operations through March 31, 1996, provided it meets
its operating plan and remains in compliance with its credit agreement.  The
Company's ability to finance its operations will be dependent on its ability
to renegotiate its bank line of credit for a continued availability of
borrowing thereunder.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful in renegotiating its line of credit or that the bank will permit
continued borrowings under its line of credit.  If the Company is unsuccessful
in renegotiating its line of credit with the bank, it will need to seek
alternative financing for working capital.  Future capital requirements will
depend on many factors, including cash flow from continuing operations,
competition from larger catalog distributors and market developments, and the
Company's ability to distribute products and marketing services successfully. 
To the extent cash flow from operations is insufficient to fund the Company's
activities, it may be necessary to raise additional funds through equity or
debt financing.  The Company is exploring additional sources of capital;
however, there are currently no firm commitments at this time.  Additional
debt financings will result in higher interest charges.   Additional equity
financings will result in dilution of stockholders' interests.  The Company's
ability to generate cash from operations depends upon, among other things,
revenue growth, improvements in operating productivity, its credit and payment
terms with vendors and collections of accounts receivable.  The Company's
ability to borrow under this facility is dependent upon satisfying certain
financial covenants, among other things, and there can be no assurances that
the Company will remain in compliance.  If such sources of cash prove
insufficient, the Company will be required to make changes in its operations
or to seek additional debt or equity financing.  There can be no assurances
that cash generated from operations and borrowings under its credit facility
will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements, or if required, that
additional debt or equity financing will be available on terms acceptable to
the Company.  The Company currently anticipates that its available cash,
expected cash flows from operations, and its borrowing capacity will be
sufficient to fund operations through fiscal year 1996.  
<PAGE>
       In June 1995, the Company became aware of information indicating that
cash and other accrued expenses had been reported improperly in fiscal 1994
and fiscal 1995.  As a result of this information, the Company restated its
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 1994.  Although the results
of the quarter ended June 30, 1994 were not effected, the Company expects to
amend its previously filed Form 10-Q reports for the quarters ended September
30, 1994 and December 31, 1995.  The Company is in the process of calculating
the effect on each of these filings and will amend the respective quarters
subsequently.
