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


CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE 
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

This 10-QSB contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the 
federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements 
of expectations, beliefs, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or 
trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical 
facts. The forward-looking statements in this 10-QSB are subject to risks and 
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those 
expressed in or implied by the statements.

With regard to the Company, the most important factors include, but are not 
limited to, the following:

     - Changing technology.
     - Competition.
     - Possible future government regulation.
     - Competition for talented employees.
     - Company's ability to fund future operations.
     - Resolution of unbilled receivable claims.

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant 
factors which have affected the Company's financial condition and results of 
operations during the periods included in the accompanying condensed 
financial statements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The financial condition of the Company improved significantly as a result of 
a private placement transaction which occurred in April 1997.  In exchange 
for $3,000,000, the Company issued to its largest shareholder 631,579 shares 
of common stock and 63,158 warrants to purchase common stock at $5.70 per 
share exercisable for a period of five (5) years.  The price of the shares 
and warrants was based on the market value at the time of the transaction.

Additionally, the Company agreed to a revised borrowing agreement with its 
lending institution which provides for $5.0 million credit availability and 
sets new financial performance covenants.  At the same time, the lending 
institution waived the violation of financial performance covenants that 
existed as of January 31, 1997.  The net proceeds from the private placement 
transaction were used to pay down the line of credit.  The balance of the 
line of credit at the end of July 1997 is $2,300,000 compared to $5,322,000 
at the end of January 1997.

As the proceeds from the private placement were used to retire debt, which is 
classified as a long-term liability, the benefit of this transaction was not 
reflected in working capital at July 31, 1997.  However, because the company 
was able to pay down the line of credit discussed above, the available credit 
on the line provides significant additional working capital for future 
operations.  The current ratio decreased from 2.19 at January 31, 1997 to 
2.03 at July 31, 1997 as working capital decreased by $390,000.  Other than 

                                       7

the transactions described above, there were no other significant trends, 
events or uncertainties which would have a material impact on the Company's 
liquidity.

During the six months ended July 31, 1997, the Company had positive cash 
flows from operations in the amount of $479,000 compared to the prior year 
negative cash flows from operations in the amount of $1,039,000.  While the 
Company shows a greater loss for the six months period ended in the current 
year compared to the prior year, it was offset by greater non-cash expenses 
(depreciation and amortization) which increased from $330,000 to $780,000 for 
the three months ended July 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  This increase 
is primarily the result of amortizing goodwill recorded in the Interwest 
acquisition.  Additional payments on accounts receivable and increases in 
accounts payable and accrued expenses also had a positive impact on cash 
flows provided by operations.

The primary use of cash during the first six months of the fiscal year was 
for capital expenditures in the amount of $443,000 and debt repayment in the 
amount of $3,319,000, net.  There are no material commitments for capital 
expenditures after July 31, 1997.

As a result of these transactions, the cash balance decreased by $301,000 
from January 31, 1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Effective September 1, 1996, the Company acquired Interwest Communications 
C.S. Corporation and its subsidiaries (Interwest).  Therefore, the results of 
operations of Interwest for the quarterly and six month periods ending July 
31, 1997 are included in the operations of the Company, but are not included 
for the comparative period in the prior year.  The following discussion will 
disclose the effect of the Company's acquisition on its financial performance.

For the quarter ended July 31, 1997, the Company recorded net income of 
$183,000, compared to net income in the quarterly period in the prior year of 
$119,000.  Net income per share for the current quarter was $.03 compared to 
$.05 in the prior year, the decrease resulting from an increase in shares 
outstanding.

For the six and three months ended July 31, 1997, net sales increased 
$13,911,000 (164%) and $8,206,000 (168%), respectively.  The acquisition of 
Interwest accounted for $13,801,000 and $8,617,000 of the increase.  Internet 
net sales (on a stand-alone basis) increased by 1% for the six month period 
and decreased by 8% for the quarter compared to the same period in the prior 
year, which decrease is more attributable to the unusually strong Internet 
sales for the prior year quarter ended July 31, 1996.  While services 
revenues continued to grow during the current year and quarter, the largest 
portion of the increase in sales was attributable to equipment sales, 
increasing 227% year-to-date and 210% for the quarter as compared to the 
prior year.

Gross margin for the first six months was 30.5% of sales as compared to 29.3% 
in the prior year (quarterly results were similar: 30.6% in the current year 
compared to 29.2%  in the prior year).  One factor in the increase in gross 
margin percentage was the increase in service revenues, particularly 
installation revenues as compared to the prior periods.  Gross margins 
relative to service revenues are typically greater than gross margins 
relative to equipment sales.  An objective of the company is to continue to 
increase service revenues as a percentage of the Company's overall net sales.

Selling expenses as a percentage of revenue were slightly higher in the 
current six and three month periods (15% and 14%) compared to the same period 
in the prior year (13% and 12%).  Both Interwest and 

                                       8

Internet (on a stand-alone basis) contributed to the higher selling expenses, 
primarily due to the increase in sales staff and higher fixed costs for 
increased salaries.

For the six and three months ended July 31, 1997, general and administrative 
costs increased by $2,229,000 (161%) and $1,196,000 (173%) over the prior 
year.  These expenses as a percentage of sales were not significantly 
different during the current three and six month periods compared to the 
prior year.  One non-cash expense - amortization of goodwill costs - 
contributed $242,000 and $129,000 to the increase in G&A expenses for the six 
and three months, respectively.  After the Interwest acquisition, it has 
taken the Company longer to realize the benefits of combining the two 
companies and a reduction in  G&A expenses did not initially materialize.  
However, the Company is now beginning to realize some of these benefits and 
over the long-term will expect to see additional reductions in some G&A 
expenses.

Interest expense increased by $191,000 and $87,000 for the six and three 
month periods, respectively, due to the increased use of the line of credit 
as compared to the same period in the prior year.
