                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

     The following  discussion  includes  statements that are forward-looking in
nature.  Whether such statements  ultimately prove to be accurate depends upon a
variety of factors that may affect our business and operations. Certain of these
factors are  discussed  at "Item 1.  Description  of Business  Factors  That May
Influence  Future  Results" in the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 10-K").

     During  1999  and in the  first  quarter  of  2000,  we  operated  in three
reportable  segments:  computer  consulting and development  services,  computer
hardware and utility  solutions.  The following analysis should be read together
with  the  segment  information  provided  in  Note 6 to the  interim  financial
statements included in this quarterly report.

Computer Consulting and Development Services

     Sales  and gross  profits  increased  during  the  first  quarter  of 2000,
returning  to the levels of the first  quarter  of 1999.  These  increases  were
attributable  to our  Israeli  activities,  partially  offset  by  decreases  in
domestic  activities.  The competitive  marketplace  for qualified  engineers in
general  and in Israel in  particular,  continued  to have a negative  affect on
profit margins and we expect this will continue in the future.

Computer Hardware

     Sales in this segment more than  doubled,  comparing  the first  quarter of
2000 to the same quarter in 1999. In  comparison to the fourth  quarter of 1999,
although sales have  decreased as we diversify our customer  base,  gross profit
and gross profit margins have improved.

Utility Solutions

     In the  latter  half of 1999 we  acquired  the  Scientific-Atlanta  Control
Systems  business  division,  including  its line of load  control  products and
Maingate gateway system.  The segment first began to have  significant  sales in
the second quarter of 1999.  These sales  increased  throughout the rest of 1999
and into 2000 to date and accounted for over 30% of consolidated revenues in the
first quarter 2000.

Results of Operations

     The  following  table sets forth  certain  information  with respect to the
results of  operations  of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1999
and  2000,  including  the  percentage  of total  revenues  during  each  period
attributable  to selected  components of operations  statement  data and for the
period to period percentage changes in such components.

     SALES. Sales in the first quarter of 2000 were the highest in the last four
years.  The increase in sales as compared to the same period in 1999, was due to
utility  solutions  segment sales of $4.4 million,  which first had  significant
sales in the  second  quarter of 1999,  as well as a $2.8  million  increase  in
computer hardware sales.  Revenues from the computer  consulting and development
service segment were relatively stable.

     GROSS PROFIT.  The increase in gross profit was due to increased sales. The
decrease  in gross  profit  margin  was  attributable  to lower  margins  in the
computer  consulting  and  development  service  segment due to the  competitive
marketplace for qualified engineers in general and in Israel in particular.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES ("SG&A"). The increase in SG&A
was due primarily to increased administrative and marketing costs in the utility
solutions  segment as it builds its  infrastructure  and increases its marketing
efforts, as well as to increased corporate expenses, primarily due to a $550,000
bonus to the CEO in the first quarter of 2000.

     INTEREST  INCOME  (EXPENSE).  The increase in interest income was primarily
due to the interest  earned on the proceeds  from the sale of our  investment in
Tower.  This increase was partially  offset by an increase in interest  expense,
primarily due to the interest on the bank loan taken to finance the  acquisition
of the Scientific-Atlanta Control Systems division in the third quarter of 1999.

     OTHER  INCOME.  Other income in the first quarter of 2000 was from the sale
of our  investment in Tower in January  2000,  in accordance  with the agreement
signed in December 1999.

     EQUITY LOSS. The equity loss net of minority interests in the first quarter
of 1999  resulted  from  losses  in  Tower.  Since  the  agreement  to sell  our
investment in Tower in December 1999 we no longer consolidate Tower's results.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     As of March 31, 2000 we had  working  capital of $16.3  million,  including
cash,  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  interest  bearing  deposits  of $16.8
million,  and in addition  had-long term interest bearing cash deposits of $11.2
million.  Some of the long-term deposits serve as security for a $6 million term
loan,  taken by our  Comverge  subsidiary  to  finance  the  acquisition  of the
Scientific-Atlanta   Control   Systems   division   and  for   working   capital
requirements.  The loan is  repayable in February  2002 and bears  interest at a
rate of LIBOR +0.75% per annum.

     The increase in cash  equivalents and interest  bearing  deposits is due to
the  proceeds  from the sale of our  investment  in Tower in  January  2000.  In
addition,  proceeds from this sale were used to finance our  operations,  redeem
$1.76 million of the $2 million convertible debenture outstanding and reduce our
short-term  debt. The remainder of the convertible  debenture was converted into
common stock.

     We believe we currently  have adequate  liquidity to finance our activities
including those of our utility solutions segment for the foreseeable future.
