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


                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

       Net Sales: Net sales were $29.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 1996, a decrease of 44.7% from $53.8 million for the three months ended June
30, 1995. Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $130.6
million, down 21.4% from $166.2 million through last year's third quarter. The
decrease in the quarter and year to date sales between comparable periods are
principally attributable to lower than anticipated orders from the Company's OEM
and distribution customers. The product transition from the Orion and Triton
I-based motherboard to the Natoma and Triton II-based products, respectively,
resulted in lower sales to the Company's OEM customer base. The lower sales in
the distribution channel are primarily due to increased competition.

       Cost of Sales/Gross Profit: The Company's gross profit as a percentage of
net sales was 12.4% and (7.6%) for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 and the
third quarter of fiscal 1995, respectively. Gross profit margin percentage was
11.7% and 7.0% for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
The improved gross margin for the third quarter and nine months over the same
periods in the previous year was primarily due to the recording of lower
inventory reserves. The Company has improved its materials management and
end-of-life planning allowing the Company to maintain gross margins during this
period of intense price pressure and lower sales volume.

       Operating Expenses: Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal
1996 decreased $13.3 million from the comparable quarter in fiscal 1995 and were
$15.6 million lower for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the
prior year period (which included an $11.9 million accounts receivable write off
for Osborne Computers). Research and development expenses were essentially flat
for the third quarter and year to date periods of fiscal 1996 as compared to the
same periods in fiscal 1995. Selling and marketing costs were down for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 by $1.0 million as compared to the same quarter in
the previous year and down by $3.5 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the same nine month period in fiscal 1995. These reductions
are primarily the result of the consolidation of the sales and marketing
organizations of Micronics and Orchid Technology. General and administrative
expenses were down $482,000 and $335,000 for the third quarter and year to date
of fiscal 1996, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 1995.
This lower level of spending is also primarily the result of savings generated
by consolidating the Micronics and Orchid Technology general and administrative
activities.

       Interest and Other Income and Expense: Interest income for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996 increased $220,000 or 373% compared to the prior year
period, and increased $238,000 or 87% for the first nine months of fiscal 1996
compared to the prior year period due to higher average invested balances. The
Company recorded $22,000 and $201,000 of interest expense for the three and nine
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. This expense is primarily related to
the long-term debt on real property owned by the Company. During the third
quarter of 1995 


                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
the Company had an outstanding balance on its line of credit which accounted for
the higher interest expense than has been incurred during 1996 when there have
been no borrowings against that line of credit.

       Benefit from Income Taxes: The Company's estimated effective tax benefit
rate was 35.1% and 0% for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The benefit from income taxes for 1995 was computed by applying
the estimated fiscal year effective tax benefit rate (net federal and state
statutory rate as adjusted for various tax credits and the estimated tax effect
of certain permanent items) to loss before income taxes for that period. For the
third quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company chose to take a conservative
accounting approach and not book a tax benefit resulting from the operating
loss.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

       Working capital at June 30, 1996 was $47.7 million, effectively unchanged
from $47.6 million at September 30, 1995. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments increased by $4.2 million during the quarter as the result of
decreases in accounts receivable and accrued liabilities. Inventories were down
by $16.2 million from September 30, 1995; largely attributable to improved
inventory management combined with increased emphasis on the liquidation of
potentially excess or obsolete inventory. Accounts receivable decreased
principally due to the lower sales in the quarter. The decreases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities resulted from lower sales related reserves and
reduced purchasing activity.

       At June 30, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included
$24.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term interest-bearing
financial instruments. The Company also has a $20 million secured line of
credit, expiring in September 1997. Borrowings under this line of credit are
limited to specific percentages of eligible accounts receivable and are
collateralized by a lien on substantially all assets of the Company. Borrowing
availability under this line is reduced by outstanding advances and letters of
credit. There have been no borrowings under this line of credit during the nine
months ended June 30, 1996.

       Management believes existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments, together with cash generated by operations and the Company's
available borrowing capacity, will provide sufficient funds to
meet the Company's operating and capital requirements over the next
twelve months.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK:

       Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements that involve risks
and uncertainties, including: the Company's ability to retain existing and win
new OEM business; business conditions and growth in the personal computer
industry and general economy; changes in customer order patterns including
timing of delivery; competitive factors, such as acceptance of new products and
price pressures; availability of third-party component products at reasonable
prices; risks of nonpayment 


                                     - 8 -
<PAGE>   9
of accounts receivable; risks of inventory obsolescence due to shifts in market
demand; meeting product introduction schedules; changes in the mix of system
boards and Nucleus products; litigation involving intellectual property and
consumer issues and the other risks detailed below and from time to time in the
Company's other SEC reports. The actual results that the Company achieves may
differ materially from any forward-looking projections due to such risks and
uncertainties.

       The Company still expects a strong rebound in its fourth quarter with
revenues in the $45-$50 million range. The Company anticipates improvement in
shipments to the OEM channel as it believes customers have worked their way
through their product transitions. The Company expects revenue from all other
channels to improve as compared to the third quarter. The Company expects the
fourth quarter gross profit percentage to be lower as compared to the third
quarter due to continued pricing pressure. Operating expenses in dollars are
expected to be comparable to the third quarter spending level to allow for sales
and marketing costs associated with the Orchid 3D product launch.

       The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of
any revisions to these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect
events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
